The Forbidden Island [Editing]

EPILOGUE

Hello readers!

I'm glad, I was able to finish this book finally. I would be adding some bonus chapters after the epilogue because, I felt like this should not be the end of Aku & Jaci. Also, What about Sam? So here we go... Enjoy!!

Aku's POV...

Life is so short. I never thought, I would she my mate ever again. I thought I lost her but, the fate had other plans. The spirits have blessed us with togetherness and prosperity. Health and security. And so, so much of love and respect from my people, that I can ever ask for. Jaci, the love of my life, I know she deserves to be mad at me because, I didn't trust her nor wait for her and was about to choose another woman over her, even if I promised to dedicate my life to her.

It's been 10 days since she came back. 10 days since, we found out Malia was behind all this. 10 days since I punished that evil woman by binding her limbs together and throwing her deep into the sea, alive. Trust me I didn't want to give her this easy death but, it was Jaci, who also deserved to decide her punishment. And she shocked all of us by summoning the giant sea monster, she calls "Blue" and ordered it to drag Malia into the sea.

We were all shocked to hear that, it was like a pet to her and also helped bringing her alive to this Island. My mate was actually a miracle. An extraordinary human being with spiritual powers. She also overwhelmed all of us when we saw her welcoming grandma's power. She is now our new seer. Our spiritual advisor. My people are literally worshipping her. She has this glow on her face, that wasn't there before. Could be because of the seer abilities or the pregnancy.

I'm dying to ask for her forgiveness and touch her womb, where my seed is growing but, she doesn't even want to look at me, let alone stay around me. I know She's been sleeping in my grandmother's cottage to punish me but, can I say I didn't deserve that? No. Oh heavens, it hurts a lot to see her but not able to engulf her in a hug. How long she's going to be mad at me, I have no idea but, as Sam says, I need to give her "space" to gather her thoughts. So, that is what I have been doing for last 10 days.

She laughs and chats with others but, her face becomes blank, when I'm around her. She cooks for me but, never sits beside me. I dare say, I get jealous when I see Waya and Nina together, enjoying in each other's arms, talking to their seedling. I have also found Jaci in deep thought, when she's alone. She would place her hand on her belly and caresses it, looking into space. It pains me not to be there with her but, what can I do when she's the one pushing me away.

“I understand, how you feel Misun.” said Baku, placing a hand on my shoulder. “But you have to understand that, she's pregnant and all women are kind of moody this time. And...” I turned towards him when he paused. “And?” I asked him to continue. He sighed audibly. “And brother, you kind of were about to betray her. If she was a few minutes late, you would have married another woman and claimed her, if she was an hour late. Have you thought about that?” I averted my eyes towards the ground, not able to meet his in shame.

“Also..” Sam added his thoughts. “You insulted her infront of your entire clan by saying she can get lost because you don't want her or trust her, while she came back for you and your people, while carrying your Offspring. How used she must be feeling right now.” They are right. I don't deserve her. How could I humiliate my mate infront of everyone and claim that she was a traitor, without even giving her a chance to explain herself. I fucked this up. I fucked up bad. “What do I do brother? I want her back. I can't take this anymore.” I said, dejectedly.

“Sorry brother, I don't think, I have any idea left with me but, if it was your sister, I would have fall on her feet and ask for her forgiveness. But, I can't advice you to do that because, You're the Chieftain and it won't look good for your reputation to bend on your knees infront of a woman for forgiveness, let alone your mate right?” I didn't turn their way or else I would have seen the evil and amused expressions on both of their faces.
