The Dark Alpha's Salvation

Epilogue **

Alistair Dylan Hartgrave was born in the battlefield in the midst of chaos and bloodshed and whose first shift came before he could even walk, his wolf unlike his mother was crystal silk pitch black, a blend between the colours of his mother and father's wolf.

"Alistair, you get back here right now you brat" Lara growled glaring daggers at her son.

"You're going to have a heart attack if you keep chasing after me mother" Alistair responded smugly when he was a safe distance away from his mother.

"Why you smug little shit wait till I get my hands on you" Lara growled exhausted. Due to her heavy pregnancy it had become difficult for her to run let alone walk for extended periods of time and Alistair's sprinting skills weren't making it any easier for her to get to him.

"Uncle D" Alistair distractedly screamed joyously when he spotted Dread walking towards him from the opposite direction.

The smile fell from Dread's face and he groaned, "how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that Dylan?" he snickered "D is for Dick"

"Dread!" Lara shrieked mortified, "you can't say that around a nine year old" she glared daggers at him.

"Says the one who just called him a little shit?, It's not like he doesn't have one, and if he has one shouldn't he at least know what its called" Dread shrugged his shoulders dismissively.

Alistair giggled, covering his mouth to hide his laughter.

Dread ruffled his hair playfully, "now you know what it's called should I tell you what's its used for other than peeing ? "

"Dread do not turn my son into a little juvenile" Redric smiled standing a couple of steps beside them, "come here son you deserve to be punished, you've been terrorising your mother the entire day" Redric spoke before winking at his son.

On seeing the smile plastered on Redric's face Lara huffed, hands akimbo "I don't know who is worse you Redric for encouraging him or you Dread for teaching him his behaviour, arseholes" she muttered under her breath before walking away from the trio.

They stared at her retreating form, trying to hide their laughter," your wife needs a chill pill" Dread suddenly burst into laughter.

"Dad, the little boy turned his attention towards his dad then hugged him, " where is he?, is he here? "

Redric smiled then spoke teasingly, "who is this he?"

Alistair huffed, looking annoyed, "You know who dad"

"Do you mean me by any chance" a voice suddenly spoke behind them.

"Uncle Xander" Alistair screamed joyously. Xander stared at his nephew, the boy would make a good alpha king someday he sure had the confidence of one.

He lifted him to his shoulders, "what has my favourite nephew been up to?"

Alistair scoffed, "am your only nephew"

Redric frowned feeling a little jealous of the attention his son was giving to his uncles, "you seem to love your uncles more than you do me"

Alistair giggled winking at his dad,"never"

"Don't worry if his mate is lucky he won't inherit my craziness" Redric whispered behind Lara.

Lara stared at her son's sleeping form then smiled.

He was a very active and hyper child. Confident and demanding at times. He would be a powerful alpha someday. No one believed her when she told them he was the one who had saved her. There was no explanation as to how an infant could have resurrected his mother.

But she knew it was him who had done it.

Inside her protruding belly was his little sister. Alistair Dylan Hartgrave was named after his aunt Dylan and just like his aunt his fate was one that he did not deserve.

She giggled when Redric suddenly tickled her bringing his attention back to him, "she's worse off than me, he's going to be ten times worse than you, He is going to be a monster Redric, the worst kind, the kind that will trample on anyone or anything that gets in his way."

"Oh and how do you know that? " He kissed her cheek dismissing her warning.

"I've seen it" Lara spoke sadly.

Redric turned her towards him, "at the end of the day he is our son, there would always be a monster in him Lara just like in you and me, the question is will she have the courage to accept and stand by him."
