The Luna's Pure Heart
The Luna’s Pure Heart – Chapter 97-The End

(Damion pov)

Two Years later…

I walked down to the main hall as dozens of little pups ran past me, making me almost drop the tower of presents I was holding. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to invite the whole pack and some neighboring allies we have grown closer to over the years.

I turned around the corner, seeing my Beta Lucas carrying their one-year-old daughter Cassady as he bounced her up and down. Her bottom l*p protruded out as she pouted, the atmosphere obviously not to her liking. She definitely seemed to be more of an introvert like her mother Rachel even though she is the spitting image of her dad’s. I can’t deny how funny it has been to see Lance and Lucas’s different parenting styles. Lucas is more of the helicopter parent, always following close behind and making sure Cassidy doesn’t get hurt, whereas Lance is completely unhinged. He will do literally anything to get a laugh out of his daughter..I guess that is no surprise there.

Suddenly Lance ran up to them, kissing Cassady’s rosy cheeks and blowing little raspberries against her skin, making her giggle. I had to laugh at the scowl Lucas gave him as he pulled his daughter closer to his chest and held her possessively, clearly annoyed that Lance was the one that cheered her up.

“Hey, beta, come help me with these gifts.” I shouted over to Lance, making him walk over to me as he grabbed the towering gifts and peeked over the top, smirking at me annoyingly. He thrived in these situations whereas I was just trying to make it the best day for my son. Lance even tried to come dressed up as the kid’s favorite TV show character and I had to nix that idea right away because I couldn’t handle two straight hours of that, no damn way.

“I thought Angel said just a quiet little party with a few friends.” He raised his eyebrow, clearly amused that I was the one that planned this whole damn thing..what can I say? I love my kid..I knew it was my birthday too, but this was all for him. There is something amazing about sharing your birthday with your pup..it just makes me feel that much closer to my son like it’s a special bond only he and I share.

“Speaking of MY mate..where is she?” I couldn’t help but feel anxious, looking over toward the elevators and wondering what was taking so long. She just said she had to go help Jake with something while Lucy got ready. I hate being apart from her..so f*****g much.

Eleanor was in her fourth month of this pregnancy and I didn’t want her to do too much, that’s why I took over birthday planning this year. She said she was more than capable but I couldn’t tell her I secretly loved doing it..there was no way she would let me live that down. Who knew the once cruel and cold-hearted king would now be planning a two-year-old’s birthday party and actually enjoying doing it? But don’t worry..I didn’t make the cake..never again.

Just then I heard the most excited squeal from behind me and spun around on my heel. I couldn’t help but laugh happily as I watched my two-year-old son Ethan run towards me at full force.

“Da da!” He yelled, his usual blonde unruly hair was now slicked back and tidy while his bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement. I bent down, opening my arms wide as my little guy crashed into me.

“Buddy, you look so handsome!” I gushed, looking down at my dapper dude as he wore a black button-up shirt and slacks with a deep blue clip-on tie..Okay, I might have made it so he matched my outfit perfectly..but he is my little mini-me, I couldn’t help it.

“Uh..uh..uh..” the grunting sound of my daughter drew my attention and I felt my heart burst as I gazed into her big turquoise eyes. She looked so f*****g adorable with her soft brown hair tied up in a bow, which was usually just as curly and unruly as her brother’s.

“I didn’t forget about you Lily.” I went to stand, feeling Ethan latch onto my leg as I walked forward, dragging him with me and causing a burst of giggles to explode from his mouth.

Lily was in Helen’s arms, her dress a deep blue that made her eyes pop even more. I stepped closer, her small arms reaching for me as I couldn’t wipe the huge a*s grin off of my face. Lily looked just like my Eleanor, she was a beauty and I couldn’t help but melt beneath her gaze..she had me wrapped around her finger already..my little princess.

“Elle will be down in a minute, she was helping Jake with his tie and then Landon wouldn’t let her put him down.” Helen chuckled. Landon was Lucy and Jake’s son, he was the same age as Lily and Cassady..let’s just say we were all very busy that year. They are only a few months apart. Then we have Pierce’s son Keegan who is turning two in a few months. Ethan and Keegan seem to already be best friends.

We decided on the name Ethan because that was Eleanor’s father’s name. Since she agreed to go by Eleanor Steele now, I thought we could pay homage to her family by honoring her father and passing on his name. Then we chose Lily after my sister..her full name was Lilith but we just shortened it to Lily.

Suddenly the air changed, the scent of my mate slamming into me as my heart began to beat erratically. Yes, she still affects me this much..just one look and I feel like it’s the first time meeting her all over again. She wore a gorgeous deep blue silk dress, her large bump protruding out and making my jaw clench.. f**k, she was stunning.. I vowed to keep her pregnant as often as I could..and so far I am keeping that promise.

We decided to find out the gender this time, wanting to be more prepared since this is our third pup. We just found out that we are having another boy.

Suddenly Lance appeared before me, yanking Lilly out of my arms as she giggled sweetly..I can’t lie..my kids loved their Uncle Lance, and sometimes that pissed me the hell off..all the kids loved him and Eleanor the most it seemed.

Then Lance bent down, tickling Ethan until he let go of my leg and was soon attached to Uncle Lances. He looked over at me, winking as he nodded toward Eleanor.

‘Go to your mate.’

He then walked away. bringing my kids towards a pregnant Rachel as our whole group stood close together, talking and laughing.

I glanced back toward my mate, the woman who had come into my life and completely flipped it upside down. She saved me..she gave me purpose and showed me there was a reason to live..That I was worthy of being loved.

‘Mate is our life.’

Titus whispered, our bond stronger than ever as we finally found that one thing to anchor us. To prove that we weren’t those things that people labeled us as.

Eleanor brought out a side of me that I thought had died that day..the day I lost the two people that mattered most to me..

She ran into my arms, her head nuzzling into my chest as she let out a deep steadying breath.

“I love you.” She whispered, her words diving deep into my soul as they warmed me.

“I love you too Bunny, so damn much.” I breathed, crashing my lips to hers..remembering all of those times we shared..thinking of the life we built together and how she had blessed me with the gift of becoming a father..

I remembered how we met and thought back to how cold and cruel I had been to her..how I pushed her away and tried to ruin any chance of happiness in my life. She never gave up..not once did she push me away..not once did she look at me with fear.

This woman was my world and I can’t thank the moon goddess enough..thank you..thank you for bringing me a Luna with the purest of hearts..for giving me my sweet Bunny.

I will spend the rest of my life making sure that I am worthy of her..of this. That I promise..there will never be a day where I take this life for granted again.

“Come on Darling, let’s go see our family.” My warm breath fanned against her lips as I reached down taking her small hand.

We both looked towards our friends and family, our children laughing and playing. I couldn’t help but swell with pride as we walked towards them.

How did I get so lucky..so damn lucky.

…The End…
