Epilogue
It was finally here. Analise, Veriana, and Teliana's first birthday. Zae and I had gotten married three days after we returned. So he was my Consort in every way. My love.
Everyone was running around frantically. Zae and I had just returned from the council of the MoonGoddessMages elders. They wanted to discuss about training the girls when they were older. I was arguing that we had to give them the choice, and that until they were old enough to understand it they weren't going anywhere.
Truthfully I hadn't thought that we would be back here in time for our daughters birthdays. All three of them could already talk. They seemed more advanced then any species young at just a year. They were already beauties as well. Analise had flaming red hair, Veriana's was as blue as the ocean, and Teliana had pearl pink hair with streaks of black.
We also noticed some powers. Analise could see into the future, Veriana could fly, and Teliana kept drawing pictures of a pure black wolf who had rainbow eyes. My mother seemed to know what was going on, but she never told me. I'm scared though I think there may be more to the hidden part of the prophecy. What fate would befall my daughters? What decisions would they have to make in their futures?
"Mommy! Daddy! Your home," the girls said together running towards us.
"Hello angels," Zae said picking them up one at a time and spinning them in the air.
"Daddy," they giggled.
I'm so happy that I never lost them. The girls are my life. If they had died I don't know what I would do.
The party stared an hour after we arrived. And all the Alpha's that had left a year ago were back to celebrate the Triplets fist birthday. Everyone who had been there with us when I had found out I was pregnant to the time I returned. They were all there.
"Unkie Zennie," the girls cried seeing Zenrik.
"How are my girls today?" he asked.
"We one now Unkie Zennie," Analise giggled.
"Why happy birthday my dear. I have something for you," he said and made three bouquets of white roses appear.
"Thank you Unike Zennie they betiful," Veriana said happily reaching for hers, and flying off once they were in her hands.
"Happy birthday my dear neices," Luca said strolling in. He had become such a caring uncle to the girls.
"Unkie Lulu," the girls said giggling.
"Rivia," he yelled searching for our sister.
"Haha Lulu how are you," she said ducking behind our mother.
"Now children don't fight," she scolded them.
"Yes mom," the said together.
"Ok everyone I have song for my daughters.
Dear hearts you've changed my broken soul,
Without you I'd never have reunited with my live,
My little ones don't you see your my everything,
The reason that I'm living.
Without you, without you, I cannot go on,
You bless my life every day with your smiles,
You may just be little ones, but you've already done so much,
Stay with us my dears and never leave us behind,
I love you three with all my heart.
No matter where you are,
No matter the time it is,
If you need me just call on me,
Because your my heart.
Without you I'd have passed into a void,
Lived my life in shadows,
Urbane become a Queen of Evil,
You saved me dear heart," I sang to them a song that flowed into my heart.
Everyone was finally here and the real party began. The little kids were playing games well Zae and I watched them. Well the adults were outside talking about security, and the teenagers were playing truth or dare in the back yard.
Everything was going perfectly. Until Teliana began to speak.
"Happiness rains now,
But it may not be,
The triplets of the Queen of two, daughters of Alpha twice shall be in danger,
There mates already predecided with the prophecy of Valerian,
The triplets need be tricked into having troubles with their mates,
One man will stand in the way of their happiness.
A man who will try to kill them,
For if they mate with their mates before the deadline,
All the world shall be in peace,
But if this man tricks on of them into mating with him. The royals of every species will die except for the Princess he mates with.
So Alpha Queen beware and warn your daughters of danger.
So foretells Alviria the Prophet of the Heavens," a woman using her voice said.
"Mother what is the prophecy of Valerian?" I asked, "and who is the Alvaria exactly?"
"The prophecy of Valerian was the one that foretold your destiny Vi. It talked about the chance of you having triplets and who there mates would be, but I can or remember that.
As for Alvaria she was the prophet of the gods when they still lived on Earth. Any prophecy made that somehow links to a God or Goddess is spoken through her, although she uses a host. This time she used Teliana to tell of the next major prophecy. It seems our family is directly tied into the fate of theis world," she told me although I was certain she was lying about not knowing who the girls mates would be.
What is with my family having such strange destinies? It's like we don't have a predetermined fate. Like we make the choices our selves. As though our family line is impossible for the fates to mess with directly. Almost as if we are the descendants of the Universes creator, but that's impossible. Isn't it?
"So the destiny of the girls has begun," my mother said sadly.
"What destiny," I screamed, but she never answered.
I have a feeling that whatever the girls destiny is or will be is even more dangerous then mine. I think that it's better of we hid the truth from the girls. I have to make sure that they never know that we are wolves. I'm going to have to raise the girls as humans. Even if they don't want to.
That night after the party I snuck into the girls room well they were sleeping.
"Van saiv cransaie memoria filana caprica," I chanted in the ancient language of the GoddessMoonMages. It translated to 'may these three be hidden from the truth, their memories taken away.'
The next morning I left Zae behind even though it pained meto do so. Using my magic I changed myself completely and moved to a remote island that no one knows about.
The girls never remembered what we truly were, and when they shifted it was in their sleep a day after I left. I was shocked because ..... had wings. It's to dangerous to say who now, but I think it has to do with the rest of the prophecy. Please Goddess protect my children.
