Briar Rose

Epilogue

Briar's POV

It's been a few hours at the meeting I already felt tired and ready to go home and snuggle with my mate. I looked at him and he smiled my favorite smile. He them proceeded to go back to the meeting with the other Alphas. Now all of these males were unmated so some of them looked at me with lust filled stares. But when Xander looked at them they quickly concealed it and acted like nothing was wrong. I will have to tell Xander later on that I was a ta bit uncomfortable but nonetheless, I was bored. I sigh as the meeting is finally over and get up to go over to Xander. When I get up I'm slightly dizzy but I don't think nothing of it. I reach him and he pulls me in for a hug which I gladly sink into.

"Xander?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you. I love you so darn much it hurts and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Sure we have had trouble in the past but I'm glad that I said yes to spending forever with you."

Xander's POV

"Xander?"

"Hmm?" I reply.

"I love you. I love you so darn much it hurts and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Sure we have had trouble in the past but I'm glad that I said yes to spending forever with you."

I look at her and then I kiss her like it was our first kiss. 

"1 'αγαπώ τόσο πολύ φεγγάρι μου. Μην ξεχνάμε ποτέ ότι."

(I love you so much my moon. Don't ever forget that.)

***

I sigh in content as Briar snuggles up to me to keep herself warm. She is a true beauty and I'm so grateful she is my mate and wife and mother of my pups. Sure we have our ups and downs. But how bad could it possibly get?

***

Ugh. One thing I hate about mornings is that I have to get up and stop lying next to my beautiful wife.

You are so whipped Xander. Can't you see we would do anything for her?  My wolf says.

Don't forget we are one and the same that means you are to. Geez sometimes he forgets we are the same person.

Well technically we aren't. I have my personality and you have yours. The one thing we really have in common is that we love Briar and the pups and that we would die for them if the time would happen to arise.

UGH! I block him out and try to focus on Briar is still sleeping beside me peacefully. I lean down and nuzzle my face in her hair and take in her mouth watering scent of vanilla and chocolate covered strawberries. I hear her sigh in content and she rolls over so that we are facing each other. She leans up and connects our lips. This kiss only lasts a fraction of a second before she is off the bed and doubling over in pain. I catch her as she passes out and as I'm on my way to the pack doctor I mindlink him, "Get a room ready. The Luna is in pain and I don't know what is wrong with her."

***
I pace back and forth as the doctor told me to wait outside the room while they test on my mate.

***

After a few hours they come out and by the looks on their faces I know the news is really bad.

"Alpha, she has colon cancer and she only has 3-6 months left to live. We couldn't catch it in time. I'm sorry."

I let this information sink in before I slide down against the wall.

"May I see her?"

"Yes Alpha oh and you are expecting another. Tho if he or she lives is a mystery what with the Luna's condition and all."

"That's wonderful but not all at the same time."

I just stop talking and walk into my mate's room to find her writing  note. When she sees me she puts the note behind her pillow and sighs.

"I've known about this for a while now. I just thought I was tired so I didn't tell you for I didn't want you to worry about me when there was much bigger problems at hand. I want to put the pack before me but I know I should have told you beforehand. I'm sorry Xander but I may not be here soon."

"Didn't you think this would affect me Briar? What about my pups? HAve you ever thought we had a right to know?!"

At this point I'm full on crying. Crying for all that I've lost and all that I'm losing.

In a soft voice she continues, "But when I pass on, you cannot follow me. You have a second chance mate out there and she needs you."

"I can't promise anything Briar. And a second chance mate? Ha. I don't I would be able to love her as much as I have loved you."

"Try Xander you must try. For me and for my children. This pains me to see you like this but I-"

I cut her off and say, "But your a werewolf. You can have your wolf heal you. Right?"

She sighs and shakes her head.

"My wolf is silent. I fear she may be gone but sometimes I can hear he at night on the full moons. But I fear she has faded so much she can't shift or heal me."

Briar's POV

I have been writing a note for the woman who heals my mate's broken heart. I'm dying and this time there is not going to be anything that can save me from my eternal slumber.

To the woman whom my husband loves,

I am writing this in regards to my husband and mate's heart. If you are reading this it means I'm gone and he has changed his heart and his emotions to cold and numb. I hope you can change that for him. He will be your mate, I hope anyway. He needs a second chance and if he doesn't get it I fear for the worst. He will die but I hope you can change that. I want him to be happy. I'm dying and I hope you can prevent him from fading as well. I know you have probably had some trouble in the past. I want you to help him in his time of mourning. When you first find each other, he may not show he loves you, but he does. He may seem cold, but I caused that. I hope he can learn to forgive the events in the past that I have caused. I have caused him a great deal of pain but you are there to help him cope. I hope he learns to love again and I hope you learn to love him and my pups. I leave with you my Luna position, my mate, my pups, and my place alongside the pack. 

P.S- I love you Xander. Don't ever forget that. One day we will meet again in the realm of the Moon. But until then stay strong til we find each other once more.

Sincerely, 

Luna Briar Rose-Spence 💕💋
