RAVEN ✔️

• Epilogue •

**** We've made it to the end of the journey, guys! 🙃 I hope you enjoyed the story. This is now my second completed book ever. My first one is The Guardians, which is currently under a major editing hustle. Anyway, here goes the very end to Raven. ✌🏻****

{ 6 Years Later... }

Raven's Point of View

"Good job out there, boss," Marcus says as I nudge Malakai to respond.

"It was a piece of cake, Marcus," Malakai says with a small laugh.

Boss. A crazy outcome that life has taken on us all. Malakai eventually took over his father's mafia. Marcus is the man that kept the legacy alive while Malakai lived a normal boring college life. Malakai's mother wasn't happy with this ordeal, but she couldn't keep her children away for too long.

Declan and Andrea were going pretty strong despite a few bumps on the road. Everette and Leah were now expecting their firstborn child Ely. To Malakai's dismay, Alessandra was in a very serious relationship with Santiago. At first, it was quite the shocker to everyone, but Santiago and Alessandra were inseparable after the entire Shane ordeal.

Gavin and Cora? Well, they are now married as of three years ago. Both of them now extremely happy with their very own set of twin boys, Caleb and Jace. The names were chosen with CJ's initials, and Caleb happened to be Gavin father's middle name.

Trish ended up with Clayton two years ago and currently going on very strong. Still, they had no intention of marrying each other just yet. Casey joined The Serpent King's four years ago and in a relationship with Vincent.

Of course, I had no problem accepting their relationship. I couldn't be angry at my best friend for being in a relationship with Vincent. Anything having to deal with a relationship with Vincent was history.

I was happy with Malakai. We tied the knot a year ago. We had many rough patches to smoothen out, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Our children turned six a few days ago and a real pain in the ass sometimes.

My nightmares stopped two years after...it's still something I cannot speak out loud. I held no remorse about it either. Somewhere in my brain, I justified my actions. After everything that we'd been through, I wasn't about to let my demons drown me.

Nope. I had to be strong for my family.

"Get back here, you little devils!" I heard Gavin yell at the same time as my little boys giggled. I stared amusedly at the scene unfolding in front of my eyes, followed by Jax barking as he too chased them.

I felt Malakai hug me from behind as he rested his chin on my shoulder. "I simply can't get tired of this," He says with a low chuckle as we watch Gavin and our son's run across the room with Caleb and Jace trailing behind as well.

For three years of age that Caleb and Jace had, they were very quick to get up on their feet. They even started to talk a few days ago too. Those four rebels were always together. I'm sure they would turn out to be heartbreakers one day.

"Wait for it," I say, amused as Cora walks in the room. "Gavin Isaac Blackwood!" Even I flinched as Cora used the middle name card on Gavin. The running stops immediately as five heads childishly pop back into the room.
