His Luna’s Already A Luna
Epilogue

Nick POV

Standing with his daughter Selena in his arms, Nick was standing watching Lucinda. She was kneeling down in the water of the lotus pond he'd, had created for her and the women. They were all there talking to each other, picking lotus flowers for gifts to be given to the nine new pups born in the pack this morning.

Nick had walked out there with her, taken little Selena, now 7 months old, from her so she could go and be with them, had seen them do this a lot, planting lotus flowers, picking lotus flowers, just coming out here to wade in the water and talk amongst themselves. It was such a natural thing for them all to do.

Lucinda was kneeling in the water uncaring that it was going to ruin the long dress she was wearing. She had one hand out touching a flower, her fingers tracing the petals gently, closed her eyes. He knew she was thinking about her family, this is where she came to feel close to those she lost. It's where they all came to think about their lost families.

This pond he'd discussed with Mylan and, to Nicks' surprise, the man who'd been more than willing to help, had brought in two dozen very talented water nymphs to help with the creating of it. He'd seen them all bow to the man as they'd walked past him, seen Mylan look right at him. Nick just smiled, he didn't say anything, was curious as to the man's linage though left it alone. Heard Mylan tell Jeremy on more than one occasion to take care of his little princess. Wondered if Faylan was exactly that, a water nymph princess. If so, did Jeremy know?

Mylan had been in this pack for 20 years, whatever his true rank was in the water nymph society. He'd likely had to give it up to be here in the pack. Or Nick presumed so, but the way those other nymphs bowed to him, maybe not. Hmm well, as long as the man was happy to be here, Nick would have him here. If he had to take in a bunch of water nymphs at some point, so be it.

The lotus pond was not large, only about the size of the Olympic swimming pool he had in the gym, but the women seemed to love it regardless. It sat just east of the pack-house and was fed by one of the rivers with Mylan's help.

He was teaching Faylan how to keep it healthy or trying to, but even with twin boys she was still a handful, and as Mylan put it "too young yet, to want to learn." They both knew the girl wanted something else, didn't want to be responsible for keeping waterways clean and healthy. Had a mind of her own. Though she attended the lessons, she was not fully focused on them.

Their pack had flourished with many new pack members due to having to hold mating balls. He'd also lost quite a few to other packs as well. His mating balls were all held formally, everyone was dressed to impress in gowns and suits. He'd also gained and lost some through attending mating balls, some he still did not enjoy, others weren't so bad.

The pack had also been blessed with nearly 150 pups in the past year, which made him smile. There were at least 100 wolves pregnant now as well, their pack was growing quickly because of his Luna.

Lucinda stayed here within the pack. He would not have anyone thinking she was available to touch. He and Rip were still very possessive over her. She didn't mind at all and didn't like going to them anyway. He only attended due to the stupid clauses to his Mating Alliance Lindy had put in.

Selena squirmed in his arms, wanting to get down. He smiled down at her and her big blue eyes, looked like her mother, but had his eyes. " Mummy." she said to him. Her first word, he'd been a little jealous, to be honest, had spent weeks trying to coach her into saying daddy. Lucinda had laughed right in his face and said "I win."

Nick tickled her a little and put her down on the ground, 'My dear, your daughter wants you.' he mind-linked Lucinda.

Watched as she opened her eyes, plucked the flower and turned to look right at him, smiled and then looked right at their daughter, crawling towards her and the pond, named after the moon goddess herself. She stood up, her long white dress clinging to her slightly swollen stomach. Soon they would be having their second pup, a boy he'd been told already. She looked so beautiful out there amongst all the flowers in her lotus pond. Looked happy.

She walked over and picked up Selena, letting her touch the flower she was carrying as she walked right over to Nick "Can't hold her for even 10 minutes". She shook her head.

"Ah she just loves you more." he smiled, it wasn't the reason, he just wanted to touch her and Nick knew she would pick their daughter up and walk over to him. He did it all the time, it was the easiest way to get her in his arms without her thinking he wanted to have his way with her. Which he always still did, nothing had changed. Still found her the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes upon. Never tired of looking at her, never tired of watching her sleep, never got tired of touching her. Denny was right about that.

Nick slid an arm around her and then his other hand was on her belly. He growled softly "We should let mother watch her." his tone was playful.

Lucinda whacked him and chuckled "how do you think, I got into this state?"

Nick shook his head. "Hmm, I don't know. You should educate me in that department, I think."

She was laughing now, he loved it, they could still tease each other and have fun. "Oh, I think you know plenty." He could see Ky'ra right there in her eyes, a little excitement filtered from her wolf at the thought of them mating. She couldn't shift at the moment to be with Rip, but was more than happy to push forward and mate in human form.

'Nick, Amy's in labour' Braidy's voice came down the mind-link.

'Alright, see you soon!' Nick replied. The last of his Alpha Unit to have a pup.

Their children would all grow up together. The heir to his pack, little Selena, her Beta's Jerelan and Ayrem, her Gamma Jonas and now her Delta was about to be born, whether it be a boy or a girl was yet to be known. Amy had wanted it to be a surprise.

Nick touched Selena's little button nose. "Your Delta is about to be born, lets go and say hello." He plucked Selena from Lucinda's arms and watched her pull her dress up and knot it on one side, slip her hand into his and they walked off towards the pack hospital, she was twirling the lotus flower in her hand, smiling to herself the whole way.

"I knew I picked this one for a reason." she said as they walked into the hospital. Jeremy and the twins were sitting in the waiting room. Kevin and a heavily pregnant Phoebe, due any day now herself with their second child, along with little Jonas as well. Faylan was the only one not here, but Nick suspected the girl was in the delivery suite, was going to make a great doctor it seemed, loved delivering babies or helping at this point. Was already under Dr Emerson's tutelage. She listened to him much more than her own father.

It didn't take long for them to hear the crying of a baby. "It's a boy." Faylan burst out of the room and threw herself at Jeremy and hugged him, sighed happily about loving babies. Nick watched Jeremy just smile at her, still young and full of energy.

It was nearly an hour before Braidy came out with his son all wrapped up in a blanket. He knelt down for all the little ones to see him "Corey, after the Alpha who took her in." he announced

the little boy's name.

Lucinda sighed softly and Nick felt her lean into him, liked it apparently. Their son would be Samuel, named after Samantha, not that their mother knew that yet, she was pressing for them to call him Nicholas just like his father, the man who'd saved the pack is how she put it.

As he looked down on the next generation to lead his pack. Nick couldn't have been happier, Selena was touching the boy's little head gently, bonding already with him.

His daughter would have the strongest Alpha Unit around. Two Beta's likely with their mothers abilities, at least Nick was hoping so. A Gamma with Kevin's ability and apparently it was very strong, James didn't really affect Lucinda that much. She'd told him, Kevin, on the other hand, she wanted to punch every time he rolled his aura at her, and he did like to torment her, could gain her undivided attention in less than a minute. He'd discussed it with James. Apparently, not even James could do that with Lindy. And their little Delta, if he was anything like his father, one brave and fearless man he would be.

No-one would ever get near her to hurt her, not that Nick was ever going to let her out of his sight, and boys. Hell no. they were all going to be kept away and any Mate Alpha or not would be made to come here. She was not leaving this pack, none of his children would ever go to

another pack.

He would be putting his Alpha foot down on that one. Though Lucinda had laughed when he'd told her that. "Oh you think so huh, and what if he's just like you?"

"Not going to happen, period." he'd told her. Though deep down he wanted her to have a Mate just like him, strong and relentless, willing to kill for her. But that boy would be coming here where Nick could keep his eye on him and that was that.

The end
