I'll Never Be Your Mate

Epilogue

The next day, everyone was waiting for me. My bridesmaids and maid of honor walked down the aisle with their pink pastel long dresses. They stood across their mates. Everyone was standing from their seats, waiting for me walk.

My father grabbed my hands and bind it through his elbow. He gazed warmly down at me and smiled. I gave him a nervous smile as we walked down. My dress cling to my shoulder and flow down in an lace design of flower in ball gown and caressed the carpet on each step I made.

Wide sun glimpsed on every decoration at the back of the pack house. I saw all the familiar faces of my closed one along the rows. Some of my ex pack members, Jake's neighbourhood pack alpha and lunas, my pack, Hailey, Dylan, mom, dad, James, Rose and Ethan. My gaze sweep in front at the altar. Jake was standing there, in whole glory in his black tuxedo. Since yesterday, I had been teasing him about getting cold feet, he pulled a face the whole time.

Now he was gazing at me with a wide smile as I walked up to him. My father gave him my hand. He squeezed my hand and bind our fingers together.

The priest started talking, he gazed loving at me the whole time. When he said his vows, tears swelled in his eyes. He blinked his eyes quickly to hide them. I laughed at his stupid attempt. Everyone laughed as well. He glared at me for drawing their attention on him. Yet his face softened as I said my vows.

We shared our rings. The priest asked us to kiss. He grabbed me by my waist and perched at me. He captured my lips in a passionate kiss. He then released them and rested our heads together. Everyone was clapping and laughed in joy. We stared at each other with love and happiness before joining them.

Jake was finally mine ever and forever.

Ten years later

"Mom!"

I heard a scream from outside. I ran at the back of the pack house. Mikael, my ten years old son was coming running down in the garden.

"What? What happen" Jake came out behind me. Mikael was covered in blue paint from head to toe. His blue angry eyes matched his whole body. I stood agape at him. Jake's expression matched mine.

"Evelyn threw paint on me" he wailed.

"Lie!" Evelyne shouted coming running behind him. She stopped huffing beside Mikael, covered completely in mud. Only her blue eyes, like Jake's can be seen. Evelyne was my nine years old. She was born a year after Mikael. "I was just doing painting outside the house quietly. Mikael was with his friends in the other way. I was passing in front him, going to my stool with paint when he made bad jokes on me. I scolded him. He threw me in the mud. In return I threw the paint on him."

"No! I didn't push her. She tripped down" he protested.

"No! He is lying, he pushed me down. His friend were laughing"

They continued bickering. "Stop!" Jake's deep voice boomed. The children froze in their place, even I jolted a bit. Jake smirked glancing from the corner of his eyes at me. I glared.

"Stop doing those pranks and apologise to each other" Jake sternly.

They grumbly apologised. "Now, go back home and take a shower"

"It won't wash away. It has permanent colour" Evelyn mumbled under her breath as she gazed down the grasses.

"What?" Mikael looked shock at her.

"Are you deaf? I said it is permanent" Evelyn snapped.

They went at it again.

She had a gift from young age for drawing and painting. Everyone marvelled over them. Mikael and Evelyn are very close even they fight almost every day like this.

I sighed and massaged the side of my head.

"Stop" this time, I spoke.

"Mikael try to take it away. Do you want me to wash you up?" I asked

Mikael's face changed to horror.

"No mom! I'm a grown up boy. I don't need your help" Evelyn snickered by his side.

Jake chuckled. He walked behind me and wrapped his arms around. "Then go back and clean yourselves. I don't want you both to harm each other on your way back" he deepened his voice at the last end.

The children nodded meekly.

"Good" Jake nodded and bend his head over my right shoulder and kiss me. I smiled and kissed him back.

"Ewe! Stop doing that dad" the children said in disgust.

Jake raised his head up and laughed.

"I'm doing what a grown man should do. Since you don't like kisses, why aren't you both on your way yet?" he lifted one eyebrows up.

They grumbled and went back home.

I shook my head at his childishness and went back in. he followed me in the kitchen.

"It's all your fault they are like this" Jake said leaning to the kitchen bar.

I raised my eyebrows "Oh right. Yeah it was me who teach them all these pranks." I said with sarcasm. "You have no part in it, you were a nice boy this whole time."

We stared at each other before burst into laughing. I leaned to the other side in support.

Jake shook his head as his laugh die "We shouldn't doing all these pranks in front of them"

"Yeah, even they were small, children grip every information well."

I turned to make some coffee for me. "Do you want some?" I asked Jake.

"Yeah. Please drop it to office when it's ready. I'm going to work." he said before going upstairs.

When I opened Jake's office, Jake was working on the papers. He glanced up when I entered.

"Here" I placed the coffee on his table. He smiled in gratitude.

"Work hard" I smiled kissing him before turned to the door.

He smiled as he raised the mug to his lips. I closed the door behind me before rushing down the stairs quickly.

Immediately I heard Jake roaring "Ashley!"

His office door slammed open and heard his long stride in the hall upstairs.

I ran out of the house laughing.

So here is it. i have finally completed the story. Jake and Ashley relationship continue like this, pranking each other, making fun.
