Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Epilogue

Aiden's pov:

(Timeline: Few years later)

Lily let out an ear splitting groan as another wave of contractions wracked her body. My lungs tightened, my wolf whined, restless and frustrated as I wondered what to do to take the pain away from her.

"You're doing great, baby," Ren muttered, even though she bit down on his hand to muffle her scream as she pushed again.

This wasn't her first time having a baby, but it was the first time that it had gone on for this long.

I ran my hand over my hair as I paced the room. I was aware of Cade and Zac, who were waiting outside the room and looking after Creed, our first child, because he had been antsy all evening.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying filled the entire room with relief as the doctor pulled out a squalling, bloody little baby boy barely the size of my fist.

"Wait, there's one more." He said.

"One more?" I asked, blindsided by this development.

"Twins," Ren whispered and the doctor nodded.

My eyes jerked to the head of jet black hair, screaming like a banshee and the entire room erupted in claps and whispers of encouragements and congratulations.

Twins. Like my sister and I had been.

My chest suddenly felt too tight to accommodate my heart

The doctor handed one of the babies to me, the boy; soft dark hair and dark grey eyes. Mine without a single doubt and my strangled heart felt like it was beating out of it's cage.

I swiveled around to look at Lily who only had an exhausted but relieved look as she gazed up at me, already holding her arms out to cradle the baby. My breath caught in my throat when we placed the babies in both her arms and she stared down at them with so much warmth and affection. She was smiling with awe, so much relieved joy, although exhausted she was practically glowing.

My chest tightened with an unexplainable feeling.

"Aiden," Lily croaked and I crouched down to her immediately. "I didn't know they were going to be twins.

Look how pretty they are, she whispered, happy tears sliding down her cheeks.

"What should we name her?"

We had decided on Maddox, back when we knew about the boy

"Maddox and Elizabeth. After both your parents... If you're okay with it." She added, gazing lovingly at them.

"Of course I'm okay with it." I whispered, watching in awe as she started to breastfeed them.

I have never felt so complete. So wholeheartedly full. After all the s**t we've been through, I knew I deserved every good thing I got. I considered it my due... But this... even these bundles of joy made me giddy with excitement, feverish with uncertainty.

I don't deserve them; a beautiful wife, a loving family. No, I don't deserve it, but will I give it up? Never.

I'll spend all my life making sure I was worthy of them.

Lily's pov

I woke up in the dead of the night and checked for the time, and seeing that I had waken up two hours later than I was supposed to, I stomped to the twins' room, annoyance in my veins.

Aiden was sitting in the darkened room, only illuminated by the children's night light. He was rocking Maddox to sleep in the cradle, while Ellie slumbered peacefully in his arms.

He was staring at them with so much love, my annoyance melted away immediately.

"I already fed them," he told me as I walked in.

Of course he has. He's been doing this every fu c kin g night since I returned from the hospital. Sneaking into the room while I slept in and taking care of the kids without my help.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I complained, sitting at his feet and placing my head in his lap.

His hand came down on my head and I let out a relieved sigh when he stroked my head gently. "I didn't want to wake you. Didn't want to disturb you."

"You've been doing this for over three months now." I sighed, resting my chin on his lap and gazing up at him." What's really going on?"

There was a conflicted look in his eyes as before he finally exhaled a tired breath. "I'm afraid."

1 frowned

"I'm afraid that they won't love me."

I sat up immediately. "Why will you think that? Of course they'll love you."

He shut his eyes, opened it and that conflicted look only grew bigger.

"They will love you, Aiden. You'll be a great dad. Look how much they already adore you,'l gestured at Ellie, who was gazing up at him with those giant, eerie grey eyes.

He looked down at her, his knuckles grazing lovingly on her chubby cheek. She grabbed on to his hand with her tiny fists.

"They'll love you just like I love you. And I love you to death.

Okay?"

His gaze lingered on her, then on me. He cracked a smile that reminded me why I loved this

man. "Okay."
