Chapter 103: Epilogue

When it's time to leave, the kids gave him a kiss on the cheek before running towards the car.

They didn't want to go but Matteo has to persuade them that he's coming over to pick them up. I turn to
walk away when his voice stops me in mid way.

"Why can't we start over?" he said but I was just standing there not replying or turn back to him.

"Can we start over please?" he repeated himself and I was just too dumb to move my legs.

"Why couldn't we do that Addasah?" I felt him behind me his breath warming my neck then his hands
snaking around my waist.

He took a deep breath as if he was sniffling my scent. It has been so long since I could feel his warmth
and comforting hands on my skin. This is something I knew I miss throughout the years, the feeling of
him near me.

I might be so happy right now but I have to admit that my heart is not fully free from him.

Our nights and beautiful moments together are memories that I always cherish forever in my heart.

Him touching me right now ignite the fire and spur up those feelings I have never felt fir anyone. I may
have try but in the end it is not what I always want.

I felt his head lay on my shoulder as he shudder then I felt something wetting my bare skin. His tears
were slowly dropping on my exposed shoulder

"I want to be in their lives, to start over with them," he said squeezeing my waist lightly.

I gasp with moans escaping my lips but I zip my lips together quickly. I was to respond that nothing is
holding him back from seeing his sons but his next words twist the key to my heart.



"But I can't start over with them if you're not in it. Please amore. I want all of my family together
completely," he whisper with his hold tighten around my waist.

He is not hurting me but it is an embrace of someone who is desperate for another chance. It really do
sound like someone who needs saving.

I think he definitely need it as seeing him in such dishevelled state tells it all but I am not sure if I'm the
one who he needs.

My eyes started to water, and I tried to not be weak in front of him but I guess 5 years wasn't enough
for me.

As my heart still aches for all of him too.

The key that has been locking my heart has slowly twist and turns until it's completely unlocked.

'Am I being too selfish' I always ask that to Alera and myself for all those years.

"I can't Matteo, you know we can't anymore" I took away his hands from my waist and turn to face him
which is probably a mistake that I don't think I will regret.

"Addasah, please I let you slip out of my hands five years. Five years we've been apart. Why can't we
be together then please. Let's start over, not just us together but with our kids too," he begs with his
eyes filled with tears that were about to fall.2

I reach up and caress his face with my hand in which he leans towards my touch. Maybe I am too
stupid to do this but I think our kids is now our priority.

We cannot be selfish anymore "I am happy Matteo, I really am," he slowly opens his eyes.



I was taking my time in deciding what I want to do next and I know what I'm going to say to him now
determines not just my happiness but also my kids happiness.

"but we're not all happy without you. Then I say we will start over," his tears flow from his eyes and I
wipe them off.1

They said a big person with a bigger heart will not only forgive but forget and move forward and that's
exactly what I want.

I may be truly happy right now but there were times I find myself lonely without him cause he gave me
happiness when I have no memories of our past.

I took a step backwards "but not now Matteo. I just don't need time but I need us to take it slow. Slow is
a pace you need to take if I am to start over with you. So can you live through that.?"2

He held my hands together with tears in his eyes "yes I would love that."

His gloomy face and dark shades that were under his eyes has now long gone and replaced with glow
and happiness.

I knew I did the right thing and I guess I always do. I close our distance again and gave him a hug
patting him on the shoulder as he finally let out another cry.

After a while we pull away and he wipe off his tears smiling at me.

"You can come tomorrow to take the kids and not forgetting we need to talk. Not for the past but what
happens within the five years we miss out on each other."

He smile nodding yes and I walk back to the car bidding him farewell for now.

4 months later



I sat on the grass with my hands running on Matteo's hair while watching our pups played on familiar
fields with my grandma and Wesley.

I smiled at the memories of how we get here today as a one happy family.

After that day, him and I had a really long talk which I was sad to discover the misfortune of Quinn and
the death of Jona.

He share to me all of his nightmares and how his life was since I left. I was sad when I realised on that
day that my story was more merrier and jolly than his.

Despite that I never interrupted him as I want to hear all of it. It would be a lie if I say I didn't cry
because truth is we were both in a mess on that day.

We didn't care of any barriers or anything else but we just let everything out in the open.

So when he was done and it was my turn I then told him all about my life within those five years.

How I convinced and made everyone dare not to tell him of our sons and how I become the substitute
luna of the Owslebury Pack.

And that is how we start over, then he went to mebd things with my grandma and few other people.

Slowly we began our journey of starting over and here we are now happily in each others arms.

Matteo sat up and I lean my head on his shoulder. I saw Gia waving at me with Ed on her side and their
son running over to my kids on the field.

Behind them stood Jay who frown at his Mate talking to another pack member and Evan's mate.



I avert my gaze to the left and saw Lorentz sitting on the grass while the crippled Quinn play with his
hair, smiling at what he is saying.

They both look happy and it's been a month since he returned back. It was actually Matteo and I who
went to him and brought him back.

I couldn't stand the sight of her being unhappy even though she has done wrong in the past but she
deserves happiness too. She has already apologized and paid for it.3

So we're on good terms. Now they look as happy as ever like our other pack members around us.

Matthew and Mason runs in our way tackling the both of us down. We tickle them making them both
giggle before escaping from our holds once again and went back to my grandma and Wes.

I look back again and I came to face with his green eyes.

I smile while intertwining our fingers together, knowing that I am not gazing into the eyes of a lying
Alpha but in the eyes of my home and happiness.
