Layla's perspective

I've found out quite a few things in the last few years. It just comes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.

That being said...

Antonia and I talked all night we laughed, we cried, and bonded through the painful stories we told. She sobbed as she described the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother as a pup.

Antonia's mother continually blamed her. Stating it was her fault that her father took another mate.

Remarking if you would have been a boy, she would still be "living it up" to this day.

Even punishing her because she resembled him.

Reminding Antonia every day that he was her father and that she ruined her life.

But what Antonia told me next surprised me. Every day before she went to school her mother would instruct her on how to make her life a living hell just like theirs. Threatening and I quote; "Ruin her or I'll Ruin you!"

Antonia also told me that when I had fresh bruises She convinced her mother that she beat me up So she didn't have to inflict any pain on me.

It was when I hugged her that I realized something on her back felt odd. I asked her what it was and she lifted her shirt. I was suddenly aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Antonia's back was covered in scars from her mother's beatings. Her body looks similar to mine she was just better at covering it up.

Antonia begged me to punish her.

Pleading, "Please I deserve it!" But I can't she was abused too, and I just don't have it in me.

I have the best mate I could ever ask for it wouldn't have been possible unless she urged Mike to reject me. so I made peace with it.

"Hey Luna!"

Antonia said, adorning Taylor's mark with a hand on her swollen belly, she was due to give birth any day now.

"How are you feeling?" I said while placing a hand on Antonia's bump to feel the growing pup.

"I could ask you the same Luna, but I know you are still having morning sickness."

"I'm ok, but I feel like a fat ass, and Taylor is driving me insane! He won't let me do anything!"

"You're lucky you are close to the end, I still have four months to go."

"It's hard to believe Reed and Angel Rose are four and five years old now.
This time we want it to be a surprise."

"Got any names picked out Antonia?"

Yes! Xavier Asher Rhodes." Antonia said excitedly.

"That's beautiful I can't wait to be an aunt!"

"Well, I just wanted to see how you were Luna."
Antonia said before hugging me goodbye.

Hearing the pitter-patter of feet, I knew the pups were headed my way.

"Mommy!"

Reed shouted jumping into my arms. My pup was the spitting image of Christian. With his warm hazel eyes, raven hair, and gorgeous smile. He was a bit mischievous and a risk-taker.

Angel Rose on the other hand looked like me with her now chocolate curls, green eyes, and chubby cheeks. She looked nothing like her baby photos.

She's a little lady and is more like Christian personality-wise. Pack members remark that they all look alike I'll never tell them different, Angel is a daddy's girl.

Taylor is the Beta now and Antonia is my Gamma no one else qualified for the position and considering her abusive past it worked out wonderfully.

After giving it a lot of thought Antonia, Kayla, Melissa, and I established a mental health center on the pack lands for counseling wolves at all stages and places in life. Because I know what it's like to go through hell. It takes just one person to change that and if I can be that for somebody then that is my ultimate goal.

Every day I thank Goddess I was rejected, because now I have so much to be thankful for. I am the Luna of an amazing pack, I have 2 amazing pups and My mate is the most powerful Alpha nationwide, and he's sexy as hell!

I couldn't ask for more.

Christian saved me and picked up the broken pieces of my heart and now I'm whole.

As for Mike he lives in the human world now, and has a pregnant human wife and a son. But not before doing 10 months in a pack prison for his actions, the most messed up thing is that after the other prisoners found out Mike was a rapist he was beaten so badly there was a irrefutable damage to his spinal cord. I honestly believe it was his karma.

The council gave me a choice and I chose to let him try to find happiness after all he is paralyzed now and just the struggle of not being able to walk is punishment enough.

After his wolf was taken his memory of wolves or anything related slowly vanished. Leaving him blissfully unaware that wolves ever existed. To me, that is a fate worse than death.

I guess it's something the Goddess does to protect our anonymity. She does this to suspicious humans as well unless they are marked.

That being said the rest of the family is great, Kyle helps me with the kids and is a constant presence in our home.

The craziest thing is Kyle is Kayla's second-chance mate. He just turned 18 and when she saw him for the first time after a while, she felt the pull and so did he. They're working on it and it's going great so far. Although I think she has made him her bitch at this point, a little bit of punishment for treating me like shit I guess.

As far as Melissa goes she finally came out and told us all the truth she's had a mate this whole time. Her name is Chandra they've completed the mate Bond and are very happy the adoption of the first child will be going through very soon, and they are also a constant presence in my life.

My father eventually found his only true mate Vivian. She's amazing he's a completely changed man now and a wonderful grandfather.

At first, it was hard to forgive him but then we realized that he was enduring black magic and mate bond rituals that could often cause brain fog. His mindset was incredibly messed up.

After he realized all the things he let happen to me he had a pretty big breakdown. I thought he was having a midlife crisis for a while but no.. it was guilt.

I know that some people can't understand why I've forgiven everyone. But to be honest I don't want to walk around with all that hate and negativity in my heart.

I just want to be happy and I don't hold grudges! I forgave them for myself so that I could move on with my life.

So yeah I guess I did get my happily ever after.

The End
