Fated To The Lycan Brothers
Epilogue

Suri Nightingale

It's been approximately a year since Atlas showed up in that old shitty town I used to live in with a letter that I had no idea that time was going to change everything I knew about my life.

Sometimes I still have moments when I just sit and wonder, if Keith had never tried to look for me, if he had never gotten Atlas to give me that letter or followed through by personally kidnapping me from the club, would I still have met them? Would I still have fallen in love with the brothers? Would I still have ended up considering Keith as a real father to me?

But then I look at my boys and know my answer instantly, because I know that even before I was put on this earth, I was always meant for them and they were always meant for me.

It might not have been Keith's letter, but it would have been something.

"Maybe we could have bumped into each other on a school trip and I'd be following you around, trying to get your attention," Wes claimed.

Maybe, I thought. But in a sea of other girl students, I doubt I would have been a blip on Wes' radar.

When I told him that, he snapped his head towards me, mind linked me how fucking

naughty I was being, then pulled me into his room and fucked me until my entire body was sore and made me remember that I was the only blip on his radar.

"Probably in university. Taking tests, enrolling, one of those things. If you were smart enough to beat my a*s on all the academics, you would definitely have landed in an Ivy League," Dev explained and he had a point.

But that would only be possible if I had the resources to get into one. Without Keith, if I couldn't get my hands on a scholarship, I'd never have stood a chance.

I told Dev that and he gave me a frown. He hates that we hadn't met earlier because he wishes he had been there for me, that they could have been there for me, but I always told him that I know we met at just the right time.

All those struggles I had to face, the heartbreaks and pain, helped me become stronger and molded me into who I really was meant to be.

Losing my mom may still pain me from time to time, but I see one of them and my heart is instantly so full all the tears dry up and my sadness is instantly replaced by happiness.

"Don't ask me that s h i t. You're here now and that's all that matters," grumpy Atlas says.

And god, I love grumpy Atlas. Especially when he's sweating and panting from boxing training and as soon as he sees me, he's already stripped me off with just his eyes.

I love them. I love each and every one of them with my heart, my soul, and everything else that makes me me, because my boys and I are one.

"Are you ready, sweetheart?" A knock on my door startled me out of my thoughts.

I closed my notebook which had all my thoughts, feelings, and every little thing written down from the very beginning, and placed it back in my drawer.

Keith is looking at me with a small smile from my bedroom door. He looks content, fulfilled, and definitely less stressed from the first time I saw him. In fact, he doesn't seem at all worried about anything.

His business is good. His family is even better. And his love life... Well, that one's still hanging there.

"Yeah, I'm ready. Is my dad there?" I asked him as I got up from bed.

He nodded his head right as I was walking to the door, glancing at myself one last time at the mirror.

My hair is longer now, reaching my waist, and I definitely put on more weight. Gone are the days I only used to eat once, twice, or none at all a day. Keith and the boys never let me eat less than four times a day now.

Thankfully, my wolf and I easily shed the extra calories.

"You look great, sweetie," Keith complimented before he patted me on the head. "Your mother would be so proud of how much you've grown."

My cheeks blushed at his comment and I couldn't help but do a little twirl, the yellow maxi dress with white floral prints on it flowing with my movements.

"Beautiful. I'm sure the boys would think the same as well."

And he was absolutely right.

As soon as I stepped out of the house into the driveway where they were chatting by the car, their heads all turned to me.

They didn't say a word, but they didn't have to. I saw in their expressions, their widened eyes and mouths, the burning desire and longing on their faces.

My entire face once again turned into a big tomato.

Obviously, I will never get used to the attention they give me, but I love it just the same.

"I'm refraining myself from saying something inappropriate as this is an important day, but I just want you to know that you're making it very, very hard not to. Oh, and something else, too." Wes mindlinked and I had to stop myself from snorting.

Damn it, Wes!

I get into the car and Dev rushes to my side, sitting as close as possible, knees touching and his hand on my thigh, just like Atlas.

They don't even try to hide their clinginess anymore, and I think Keith's gotten pretty used to it as well. It helps that he's seated at the front and most of the time, he also just turns away, more than willing to give us our privacy.

"I told you you'd look good in a long dress, but that slit... that slit was not that high on the mannequin." Dev commented and I blushed a little more.

I was shopping with the girls at the town mall when Dev showed up. He looked at me for exactly three seconds and said it was the one.

He always knew me better than myself.

Atlas' grip on my knee tightened and I tilted my head towards him. His chest is heaving up and down, his breath slow and deep, as if he's trying to really control himself.

His gray eyes flared with both admiration and determination.

The kind of determination where I'm spread on all fours and he's not letting me go until I've come at least five times on his hard cock.

"Did I ever tell you how absolutely stunning and gorgeous you are?" He asked and I burst into a

smile.

"You did. A hundred times."

The grin that curved up his lips was absolutely to die for.

"Then I'll tell you a hundred and one more times."

Ugh, can he get any more sweet?

I ask myself that when he does or says something sweet and then the next thing I know, he's beating himself by being even more sweet. It's a never-ending cycle of how much more romantic my boys can get, and I love every damn second of it.

Throughout the whole car ride, everything is calm and peaceful and when we arrive, I suddenly

feel tense.

All my boys come up to me and surround me, their warmth radiating from their bodies and

hands on my side and back, relaxing me in seconds.

"We're right here, baby," Atlas reassured me.

"Nothing to worry about," Wes added.

"Always," Dev gripped my shoulder.

One last exhale and I started walking.

As soon as I saw a tall and broad figure, I knew instantly it was him. He was standing by the headstones, back turned, but as soon as I called out for him, he turned around and he smiled

widely.

"Dad!"

"There's my little girl," he says with affection in his voice and his arms stretched wide open.

I know I'm pretty much an adult now, but hey, I never got to hug my dad all throughout those years before, so every time he opens his arms, I take every chance I get for a hug.

And with him, it's almost all the time when we see each other.

Which is usually once a month, or once every two months. Either way, he always tries to fly over to wherever I am and spends at least a week or a few days before going back to the

Kingdom.

I told him before that he shouldn't leave his Kingdom all the time because his people need him, but his answer had been deeply engraved in my heart.

"And I need my daughter. I've let my Kingdom have me for many years and because of that, I

never got to see Stella again. That is and always will be my biggest regret. I'm not making that same mistake with you, Suri. I want to be a father to you and I hope that you let me be that. However long it takes, I will keep trying."

I let myself get engulfed in his arms, his much bigger stature easily towering over me, but instead of it being daunting, I feel safe. Absolutely and wholly safe.

I know deep down this is what my mom would have felt every time she was with him, and though my heart breaks thinking that she never got to feel it again, I hug him tighter and hope that she can feel it wherever she is now.

"Thank you for doing all of this..." I told Aragorn after pulling away and looking at it.

My mom and her headstone. We were no longer in a scary and creepy cemetery. Instead, we were on private land that Keith had bought for, yes, of course, Eve.

On the other side of my mom's resting place lies Eve Wolfe and now they have been put

together to rest.

"It wouldn't have been possible without Keith's help," he exclaimed, and I turned to where Keith and the boys were standing, which was by Eve.

Flowers bloomed all around the area and I can't help the tears that fall when I look at my mom

and think...

We made it, mom.

I wish so badly that you were here, but I know that you're watching over me and look, I have a family. A really amazing and loving family.

It's all you've ever wanted for me and I promise that I will love and cherish them like you

would if you were still here, too.

Aragorn placed his arm over me and when I looked at him, he was looking at mom with a teary

smile.

"I love and miss you, Stella, and I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to come back to you then, but I promise you that I will do everything I can for our daughter and make sure that the love I was never able to give you, I will pour every bit of it to Suri. You gave birth to an amazing girl, and I'm sure she'll make you even more proud in the future."

Oh, gosh...

My heart.

I probably look like a crying mess now, but damn it, Aragorn didn't have to say such nice things

and now I can't control my tears!

Out of nowhere, my boys come up to me and engulf me in one big embrace. They drew me into their arms, strong, protective, and everything that I needed.

It felt like returning home after a long and lonely trip by myself. After years of being stuck in

my own darkness with no light, the light had finally been turned on and there they were, my

three boys, my mates, arms wide open and never ever letting me go. There is no other place in the world more perfect than with them. They've torn down every tall wall, every closed door, day by day, with persistence and

determination, not ever giving up once.

All of our lives, we walked the earth and lived our days feeling like we were missing something.

And you know what?

Atlas, Wes, and Dev...

They were my missing pieces, as I was theirs.

Now we all fit perfectly.
