Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Epilogue

Claudia

Life is hard. It is full of things that none of us deserve.

It can be full of wonderful and beautiful things, but it is also full of a lot of things that are unfair.

There is nothing fair about what happened to my daughter.

She didn't want to be kidnapped and brainwashed, she didn't want to become impregnated by a sociopath, and she didn't want to have a stillbirth.

After going into labor and the doctor wasn't able to get it's heart rate they took Alita to the pack hospital to have an emergency c-section to try and get the baby out in time.

It was a girl, she looked so much like Alita, and she wasn't breathing when she came out.

The wails that Alita cried out haunt all of us.

Thankfully, she has Mateo on her side. He helped her through her grief. He helped her to be able to see the good things in life even through all the darkness that clouded her mind.

One of the things that had been stressing her out was the thought that they would have to leave soon so he could be Beta again. After seeing the stress, it was causing her, Mateo worked with Osborn and his previous Alpha, Lorenzo. Osborn's Beta ended up moving and switching positions with Mateo.

Mateo is now the Beta of the Scarlet Pack and Alita is the Beta Female. He is everything I could've hoped for for my daughter and he is already doing a terrific job with our pack.

Finally, things seem to be turning up for all of us.

It's been a year since Alita has returned home and it's been I0 months since she had her stillbirth.

She and I both just found out that we're pregnant.

I can see the fear in her eyes, and I know that she is nervous, but I think this time she will get the baby she had dreamed for with the man she truly wanted and had dreamed of.

We're hoping for a boy this time around and prayerfully this time we won't have twins! Hope and Faith will be a little over 2 by the time this baby is born, but man the girls already keep us on our toes.

Since Alita has returned home, Evan and Claudia are even more hands on with the grandkids than they were before. Mateo has been a wonderful addition to the pack. He, Peelle, and Osborn all work so well together that you would've thought Mateo has been here his whole life.

Each day Alita seems to grow stronger. After she recovered from her c-section she started training and now looks a lot more toned than she was before. She seems okay most of the time, but there are days that are really tough for her, and she has a hard time processing everything that happened to her.

I thought the things I had been through were rough, but seeing the way that Alita has changed... she had it worse than I did and what she went through really messed up who she was. The new Alita is more reserved and has a quiet strength about her. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is an adjustment.

It's been one year and 9 months since I returned home.

In that time, I had a stillbirth, I accepted my true mate, and I got pregnant with my second child.

My second child who was born today.

She was a girl and all I could think of was her sister who I lost all because I had to attack Aamon. I've been told over and over that the stillbirth wasn't my fault, and it couldn't be helped.

But I know the truth, I'm not stupid. It's because of my actions that I lost that baby. I shouldn't know better, but I was too blinded by my own rage.

I had named my first daughter, Angel, because that is what she is, an angel. We ended up naming our second daughter Giana, after Mateo’s mother.

It's only been a day into motherhood and more than anything I am grateful that I have Mateo by my side. He can read me like a book, and he knows that at times it is too overwhelming for me to be around our daughter.

She looks so much like the daughter I destroyed... I won't let anything happen to Giana. She means too much to me.

Osborn, Peelle, and Eda ended up having their baby a few hours after I had mine. They had a son and they named him Evan after our father. My dad cried when he held the baby and learned his name. But my dad deserves to have a namesake. I'm grateful that they chose that name because it is obvious how much it means to him.

Christmas is coming up, it's my mom's favorite time of year.

She's so excited for Hope and Faith to see their Christmas presents and mom is thrilled about the new additions to our family and has asked if she can get a Christmas photoshoot down for them. Honestly, I don't care. Whatever makes my mom happy.

This year for Christmas all I want is that this year will continue to bring healing to all of us because we all need it in our own ways.

After everything we have all been through, I can finally say that we have gotten our happily ever afters.

The thing you have to remember about a “happily ever after’ is that it can look different to each person.

My whole family has been through a lot and our ending might not seem like it's the happiest, but that's okay. This is real life.

I am still healing from everything that happened to me, but I am blessed with a fantastic mate and a new baby and I will never take either one of them for granted. This is the life I wanted, this is the life I craved, and everything that has happened has led me to this and that's a good thing.

This is my happily ever after.
