Alpha Kael ✔️

Epilogue

~Jada

Two months later.

I love our new home.

It took some time to be built exactly how Kael and I wanted it, but I'm glad we waited. It's traditional, yet fits in with what Kael and I both love the most. What I believe makes it so special is it is right in the outdoors, rather than in a stuffy city. Being underneath the shade of trees, a garden right outside to grow things in is like medicine.

Kael and I decided it would be best to leave the Discipline Pack after he gave his title to a friend of his who he has always trusted, Carson. Kael wanted to put distance between him and his old life, and as someone who has always wanted to travel, I couldn't be happier.

Now we live in no Pack. We live in between the Freedom Pack and the Vengeance Pack. Here, we have the perfect warm climate with plenty of forest to conceal ourselves.

It seems we found the perfect life.

"I can't decide what I should plant next," I muse to Kael, who sits beside me, reading his latest favourite novel. Our lives now, between travelling, are dedicated to leisure activities. I've come to love gardening a lot, while he has created quite the collection of books he enjoys almost everyday. It keeps us not only occupied, but content.

"I think you should take some rest," Kael says, glancing at me. He knows every time he says that, I disagree with him. I may have suddenly fallen pregnant five weeks ago, but I'm still early on enough that I don't need to worry about this rest he speaks of.

I nudge him. "I'll be fine. The fresh air is good for me, and it's not like I'm going to be lifting anything heavy."

He raises an eyebrow at me, skeptical.

"Flowers it is then," I say, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek. He gives me a half smile, knowing he never had a chance of convincing me out of it. This is our routine, anyway. I garden the early morning away, then Kael and I spend time with each other in whichever way we feel like that day.

It's a relief to be outside. The touch of the soft breeze on my cheek, the scent of the rain that fell upon the forest last night. My vegetables are thriving in this environment, but what about my flowers? I hope they get enough sun to bloom brightly.

I glance up, seeing something approaching from the distance.

Straightening, I wave in that direction. It's Kara, Kael's mother. Kael had a house built for her just through the forest. Every now and again she will wander by.

Things between Kael and his mother have been good. Really good, in fact. It's too the point where I'm almost jealous, watching the way the interact like no time has been wasted between them. I'm happy for them though. Their relationship is blossoming, and she is going to be so happy when we tell her I'm pregnant.

"Your garden is looking lovely, Jada," Kara says as she approaches. I smile warmly at her, moving over to pick a pear from the tree that borders out house.

She catches it as I toss it to her.

By the time she leaves, that wicker basket that bumps against her hip as she walks will be full, enough in it to last her a week. We supply the local village with produce too, which has made us very well liked. No one there knows who we are, making it much easier for us to fit in, to make friends who don't just want Kael's money.

"Why don't you come inside for a drink. I just made lemonade," I offer, motioning for her to follow me inside. She does so with a bounce in her step. Once she sees Kael, she greets him with a hug and a kiss. Myself and Kara are the only ones who can make him put his book down.
