Chapter 27: xxvii
Contentment.
That's what I felt at this very moment in my life. The constant and desperate craving of wanting to find a place of belonging had eased and turned into contentment. I was content with the things that I have in my life at this moment.
I have a family.
After holding back so long from going to market, I've decided to return and help Melody transform her herbs stand into a pastry stand, and ever since we decided to make that big decision, we've been flooded with sales because we all know Melody is the greatest cook.
…
My grandfather had decided to confront his past. I went through my dad's and grandmother's old belongings as he could finally breathe and accept that they were waiting for him on the other side. He felt good being able to unlock his true emotions that came with their deaths and the loss of his legs, which stopped him from living his true form of life. I was happy for him as tears of acceptance streamed down his face as he watched the ashes of the letters that he had written to them blown away with the wind.
…
The twins were the twins. Things were so much easier now, knowing that I was aware of being a wolf and accepting my mating bond with them. We had gotten closer and being around one another felt like the easiest thing in the world, but don't get me wrong, they were still the biggest pain in my ass, but they made it easy to be affectionate and open. Nothing had changed amongst the twins, besides the fact that they no longer have any hair, well, Giovanni has no hair, Genesis still kept his hair short enough for me to run my fingers through, while Giovanni rocked a buzz, which was still incredibly sexy. He looked like Henry Cavil, but with a thicker beard that just sends me into overdrive.
They had officially introduced me to their parents by taking me to their graves, which was the first time I'd ever seen the twins cry. They told me that it was different with me at their sides, they felt supported and strong with me alongside them, and at that moment, I knew I needed to protect and love them for the rest of my life.
…
We began associating with Cleo and Paul, the grandchildren of Atticus, the man said those nasty things about my family and, to be honest, I didn't trust them, especially Paul, Cleo was a child, but even children can be manipulative. I had nothing against them, I don't know them as long as my family has, which is why I'm keeping them at arm's length.
…
After everything that has happened, my life seems to be expressing some kind of normality. I was no longer having those dreams anymore and the atmosphere around me was calm and peaceful. I never dreamed about my parents again, but hidden memories warmed my heart and ease my mind once I closed my eyes. I finally finished my tattoos and got a few more to permanently document the events that happened in my life.
Rebirth
Unity
Acceptance
Bonds
Love

"Are you ready for this?" Genesis asked as both he and Giovanni stood on either side of me, "Yeah, I am," I replied as I held my parents' urn of ashes in my arms.
Today was the day. The day that I freed my parents' ashes and to be honest, it broke my heart. This was the only thing that I had left of my parents and now I must let them go. Giovanni moved back as my grandfather wheeled up beside me before grabbing my hand, "Don't worry sweetheart, papa is right here," he said as tears welled up in her eyes before I nodded.
My grandfather had taken us to this waterfall. It was beautiful and much bigger than the one at the hideout. He told me that this was the place where he and Melody had freed my grandmother's ashes, so this was the perfect place.
Letting go of my grandfather's hand, I removed the lid revealing my mother and father's mixed ashes, "I gave you my word, daddy, and now I will set you and mama free," I said before harsh sniffles could be heard beside me.
"Raise me," my grandfather demanded as he firmly held onto the railing of the bridge that we were on before Giovanni and Genesis helped him up. Tears began running down all of our faces as we watched him struggle to stay standing, "Don't worry, Ben, I got you," Giovanni said as he wrapped his arms around my grandfather, holding him close to his body.
"Whenever you're ready, rosemary," my grandfather said as Melody came to stand beside me while Genesis stayed at his brother's side, "We love you so much mom and dad, and we'll miss you so much," I cried as Melody rubbed my shoulders, "I'll see you on the next side, son," my grandfather said before nodding as my shaky hands held tightly onto the urn before slowly tipping it over.
I gasped watching as my parents' ashes poured out of the urn and immediately got swept up by the wind. I cried aloud while the others cried silently. There was no going back now, they were gone now.
Once the ashes were gone, I took a step back, closing the urn before wiping my tears as Giovanni sat my grandfather back in his wheelchair with Melody rushing to his side as she dried his tears. Genesis walked towards me as his eyes softened at the tear stains on my face and the way I gripped onto the urn. Pulling me into his arms, I immediately broke down, dropping the urn as it broke on the ground.
"Gio, why don't you help Ben and Mel back, I want to show Rosie something, it may cheer her up a bit," I heard Genesis say before I felt a warmth touching my back.
"I love you," Giovanni whispered before kissing my head as my heart sped up at the sound of those words. I was lost in thoughts to realize that it was just Genesis and me before he pulled back and raised my chin, "I'm going to take you somewhere, alright?" He said as if I was a troubled child I nodded, staring into his eyes.
Stepping back, I watched as Genesis took off his clothes all while staring into my eyes, "Do I have to shift?" I whispered as my throat hurt from crying, "No, I'll carry you since it's a surprise," he replied as I nodded before raising my eyebrow, "Are you going to shift or do I have to ride you like that?" I teasingly asked as he smirked, "I don't mind," he said as I rolled my eyes, opening my mouth to talk.
"I know, I know, I'm a pig, but only for you," he said before shifting into his wolf. I smiled as he walked towards me before nudging my leg, "Thank you for this, Genesis," I said, kissing his head before climbing onto his back.
Looking over his shoulder to make sure I was settled securely, I nodded before he took off. It felt nice. Feeling the wind through my hair, and watching nature pass by, this is what I needed and he knew exactly that, which is why I'm so grateful to have him, and both of them in my life.
I love you too, Gio.
But only if I could've said it in time for him to hear me, "Don't worry, Rosalie, he knows you love him, the both of them," Kamari said as I lay my head on Genesis's back, closing my eyes for a moment and before I know, I fell asleep.
…
"Rosalie, wake up, we're here," I heard Kamari's voice getting clear and clear until I heard a whimper before something shook beneath me. I slowly opened my eyes, blinking as I sat up, "Sorry I fell asleep," I mumbled before flinching as I heard a growl. My eyes snapped open as all of my lingering sleep was scared out of me. I looked around to find the threat before Genesis's laughter filled my head.
"You're such an asshole," I said, climbing off his back, "I'm sorry beautiful, but we're here," he said as I frowned before looking around, "Where are we, Genesis, I don't underst-
My words got stuck in my throat as I looked behind me. I was speechless and my heart pounded in my chest. My skin grew goosebumps and my thighs immediately clenched together at the sight of a beautiful white bed in between two large tree trunks. The bed was sheltered by a tent-like drape that you see attached and surrounds a chamber bed. And around the area were lamps with candles and flowers that made me smile.
I wasn't stupid, I knew what he wanted us to do here and honestly, it excited me. I've never gone that far with Genesis and it made me curious. His kisses drove me crazy and I couldn't imagine how it would feel when he uses and pleases my body.
A growl woke me out of my thoughts as I looked down at Genesis and noticed that I was biting my lip. I smiled shyly, releasing my lip as his eyes held mischief in them.
"I love it," I whispered, but something was missing as I unknowingly frowned, "Can you bring me back?" I asked as he tilted his head, "It's just, the time of day doesn't suit the scenery," I said as I swore I saw a smirk raised on his snout, "You're such a pig," I said before stripping from my clothes, causing him to sit on his back legs and stare at me with sparkling eyes.
"The last one to reach back home is a bag of fleas,"
...
Marcus was in his room resting. Lately, he has been feeling extremely ill, and his children and pack were worried about him. It felt like Deja vu for him, it felt like the time his father was slowly reaching his death, the death that was caused by him. The whole truth about Marcus's father's mysterious death was simple and right in the sight of those who were curious about the late Alpha's death.
The saying, "What goes around, comes back around" was undoubtedly true, especially in this case. Once upon a time, a young omega thought that becoming Alpha would gain him all his deepest desires, so he killed for it. He slowly killed his father and watched as bits of pieces die until there was nothing left. And now he was facing the same fate.
A knock on the door woke Marcus from his slumber and as the door opened, he saw his son, Mateo, carrying his daily bowl of soup, which he fed to his father every afternoon ever since he got injured by Rosalie. He no longer saw his daughter as she, for some reason stopped coming to visit him.
He felt lonely and abandoned, but at least he had his son, or so he thought.
