Chapter 30 – Epilogue
The sun was warm, the grass soft under my feet, and the sound of giggling filled the garden
Callan was lying flat on his back with both boys climbing all over him, growling like a beast while pretending to be defeated. Our eldest, five–year–old Casen, was the loudest, shouting. The Alpha is down! I repeat, the Alpha is down!” while his three–year–old brother, Kael, tried to bite his ear off
Callan rolled over dramatically, groaning. “You little traitors! Is this how you treat your father?“)
The boys just laughed harder
I sat on the picnic blanket nearby, rubbing my very round belly, trying not to cry from how perfect everything was. A spread of food was laid out beside me–fried chicken, cold pasta salad, grilled com, fresh–cut fruits, and slices of Callan’s favonte honey pie that the boys had sneakily eaten half of. I never thought I’d get this again–not after the miscarriage three years ago. It nearly took me with it.
But now? Our third baby was almost here. And my heart felt full,
“You should see your face,” I called out, laughing as Callan got tackled again.)
He lifted his head, hair a mess, cheeks smudged with dirt. “This is what happens when you make too many strong pups,” “You love it.” I said.
He gave me a lopsided grin. “I really do.”
The Silverclaw Pack had changed over the years too. We helped them rebuild from the ground up. The survivors found new homes, food, safety. And eventually. Tony lead them.
Не stepped up, took over leadership since our grandmother was born in Silverclaw before marrying into Stormbane. It felt right. He ruled with a mix of sarcasm and heart, and his pack loved him for it. He was the complete opposite of Zane–firm but fair, open instead of controlling. Even the warriors respected him, not just for his strength, but for how he listened, how he led without fear or ago.!!
I was just about to call the boys over for snacks when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my back. It was sudden and deep, tightening every muscle in my body. My breath hitched as the contraction clawed through me, sharper than anything I remembered from the boys‘ births. IL wasn’t just a warning pain, It was real My body knew. This baby wasn’t waiting much longer.
“Callan?”
He shot up instantly. “What? What is it?”
I held my stomach. Another wave of pain hit me. “I think, she’s coming.
Callan moved fast “Jalent he bellowed.
Jalen came sprinting from the packhouse. “What? What happened?”
“Take the boys. Now Quinn’s in labor”
Jalen didn’t argue. He scooped Kael up, grabbed Casen by the hand, and started walking them inside while shouting. “Your sister is coming! Operation Baby Alpha is a go!”:

And then we heard a cry A sharp, perfect cry
“It’s a girl,” the pack doctor said with a wide smile, holding up the tiny, red–faced bundle.}
Callan laughed out loud. His eyes were wet as he reached for her. “She looks just like you,” he whispered, rocking our daughter gently. “My little princess“)
Heaned back, exhausted, smiling through the tears. “She has your nose.“}
“Thank the moon,” he teased “That nose on a girl would’ve been tragic”
Just then, the door burst open and Tony came in, breathless. “I heard! is she okay? Are you okay? Is she-”
“Everyone’s fine.” I said, laughing
He let out a huge sigh of relief “Good. I brought someone.”
Hooked past him and saw a woman hovering behind him, clearly nervous. She had soft brown skin, curly black hair pulled into a messy sun, and wide eyes that looked like they’d seen more than most. She was petite, but carried herself with a quiet strength, like someone her share of battles and still had the heart to hope Her fingers twisted the hem of her sleeve as she met my gaze with a

Callan smirked “Well, well, well” He looked between them. Looks like we’re not done with surprises today.”
Jalen blinked. “Mine,” he said quietly.
The nurse swallowed. “Yours,”
Tony groaned “Great. More mating drama. Somebody get me a drink ”
Callan just laughed, cradling our daughter closer. And I knew in that moment, surrounded by friends, family, and a whole lot of chaos, that this was everything I’d ever hoped for. And more.
