(10 years later, October 31)

"Happy Birthday, Annabella!!" We all yelled bursting into her room.

"Wake up, Bell!" Dylan said shaking her body roughly.

"Ugh," she groaned throwing the cover from over her. Her hair stood all over her head like it always had. I ruffled her hair roughly like I always did when she was growing up.

"You're 17 now, babe," Adonis said happily kissing Annabella lightly. "We have two surprises for you."

"Is it chocolate chip pancakes?" She smiled quickly jumping from bed.

"Yea, but wait we have another surprise," I said going to open her window. She stared as she saw Jayden crawl through the window. Jayden climbing through the window became a regular thing for him. Before he left for medical school, he climbed through this window on a daily basis.

"Jayden!!" She squealed going to embrace him tightly, "I missed you! Congratulations on graduating from medical school!"

"Thanks, Bella. I missed you too," he said letting go of her.

"You've grown so much from when you were 12," he laughed.

"Of course, I'm 17 now! What'd you expect?" She laughed.

"Annabella! We have another present for you," Kalea yelled running into the room with Elliot and her dad behind her. Kalea's hair was in a messy bun and was obviously exhausted from her daughter, Marley. Her dad walked into the room with a dress bag.

"Is that the dress I wanted?" She screamed ecstatically. I quickly shut the door trying to make sure that her screaming didn't wake up my daughter, Lovella. Lovella was the same age as Marley but a few months younger.

Lovella's resembled her father more than me. She inherited Dylan's grey eyes and brown hair, but she had my soft features.

"Yup, sweetheart. Happy Birthday," he said happily unzipping the bag. The dress was a short, light blue dress with sequins across the top. It was simple which was perfect for Annabella.

"Here's your pancakes," Marley and Lovella said loudly as she came into the room with Kalea and Dylan's mom following with the plate of pancakes in her hand.

Annabella was smiling happily as she took the pancakes and fork. "Thank you guys so much. I'm so lucky to have you all. I love you."

"Mom and dad will be here a little later. She'll be here when we go and look for the bridesmaids dresses for our wedding," I said pulling her into a tight embrace. Me and Dylan agreed to have a traditional human type wedding a few years after we had our first child.

"I told you not to wake Annabella up until I woke up," Alessandra said with Treyven following. "I am the life of the party!" Treyven said as if he hadn't just woken up.

"You took too long!" Dylan laughed, "and Treyven... Shut up."

"Daddy!!" Lovella yelled as she heard Dylan's loud laugh. She pushed past everyone's legs and made it to Dylan. Dylan spent her around and hugged her tight. I smiled widely. She was inseparable from Dylan and honestly I was a bit jealous.

Everyone was standing in Annabella's room congratulating her and giving her gifts.

I sat on her window seal and stared out of her window. I looked at the flowers and the bushes remembering when just 10 years ago, I carried Annabella past those flowers and up those steps.

"Are you ok, Cassy," Annabella said wrapping an arm around me.

"Yea, I was just remembering the first time I carried you here with Kalea."

"Yea, wasn't I cute back then," she laughed flipping her hair.

"You definitely were," I giggled. "We gotta talk, Bell," I said patting the spot on the window seal next to me. She sat and looked at me, worried.

"Is everything ok? Are you pregnant again?" She she's feeling my stomach.
"No, you know me and Dylan will be going on our honeymoon for about 2-3 weeks after the wedding, right?"

"Yea, mom told me. What's wrong then?"

"Well someone is gonna have to watch over the pack while I'm gone. Kalea can't do it because she's going on her honeymoon too and Alessandra isn't fully part of the pack yet so..."

"So I have to be Luna while you're gone? Who's gonna be Alpha?" She complained.

"Adonis will. You and him will be in training with Kalea and Dylan's mom and dad," I said rubbing her shoulder reassuringly.

"What if something happens. I won't be able to stop it without preparation," she whined.
"You're the Luna Queen of Future and Seeing. You'll see it before it comes. You got this, I promise. And if you do need me then just call me and you know I'll be there."

"You make it sounds like you're retiring. You're only twenty seven," she groaned and folded her arms across her chest.

"Stop it. I promise I will be there everything step of the way as you learn to become Luna."

She smiled and pulled me in for a hug. "I love you."

"I love you too," I said kissing her forehead. "Now go and try on that dress."

She smiled and ran off. I chuckled and stared out of the window again. I looked at the beautiful yard, loving my new life. As I was staring, I saw a man in all black staring up at the window at me. I tilted my head in confusion. He pointed a stern finger at me and smirked mischievously. I scrunched my eyebrows together and looked closer. He mouthed something vaguely "You're not safe."

"Hi, mommy," Lovella said climbing onto my lap.

"Oh hi, Love," I said nervously snuggling her into my lap looking out of the window again. He was no where to be seen.

"Are you ok, princess?" Dylan asked cautiously looking around.

"Yes," I said looking out of the window searching for the man again. Dylan kissed my forehead before being called by his dad causing Lovella to jump up and hold on to his leg tightly.

I chuckled and stared out of the window for a while before drifting into my thoughts again. Even as a twenty-seven year old, I still daydream like a teenager. Robert made his way into my thoughts like he always did. I could say that I loathed Robert for everything he had done, but I looked back on it all positively. I wouldn't be as strong and confident if I wouldn't have went through the pain he caused.

But when I drifted further into my thoughts, I saw the man again. All he said was "you're not safe." with the same evil smile.

I was in trouble again.

But definitely wasn't worried or afraid.

The end!!!!

So the next book will be from Annabella's point of view. It's called Learning to Be Luna. Annabella is learning to embrace her inner Luna!!!!!

The dress is Annabella's party dress and also the dress she wears as a bridesmaid dress.
