After the wedding, life steadily crept back to normalcy, after a tearful farewell, mostly by the two pregnant women, James and Chloe returned to the Red Moon pack with the rest of their members along with Kimmy, who was excited to go with her sister and the big strong warrior boyfriend that she had taken a particr liking too, following him around chattering non-stop.
An alliance was agreed between Red Moon and Silver Cross and James was sworn in as Alpha and Chloe as Luna a few weeks after they returned home. Alistair also announced that now his son had finally epted a mate (there was a ratherrge amount of emphasis on the word finally, causing a rumble ofughter to sweep over the pack) he too would be stepping down as Alpha, making way for Aaron and Charity to lead the pack.
Marcus became a regr visitor to Silver Cross, saying he needed to make up for all the moments of Charity''s life he had missed.
On a warm breezy autumn afternoon exactly 2 days after her due date, Charity and Aaron brought a beautiful baby girl into the world, naming her Isabe Mary Annalise Cross, she had the soft blonde hair of her mother and the piercing blue eyes of her father. As Aaron held her carefully, his eyes filled with awe and love, she gently wrapped her tiny fingers around one of his fingers making his lip tremble as he softly kissed her tiny chubby cheeks. ''I will always protect you my little Isabe'' he whispered as she stretched in his arms before snuggling her head into his chest.
Charity reached for her child smiling as Aaron carefully ced her in his mates arms before gingerly sitting on the edge of the bed and enveloping them both in his embrace.
The pack celebrated the birth of the next Alpha in style, showering the young princess in gifts, the she-wolves fighting over holding the tiny bundle as Aaron tried valiantly to keep the broody women at bay.
As they cuddled up together one night, their daughter sleeping peacefully in the bass at the side of their bed, Aaron tracedzy circled on Charity''s chest. Smiling up at him she leaned over and brushed her lips to his.
''You know that the curse is not going to go away'' she whispered sadly
Aaron nodded solemnly ''Do not think about it tonight my Luna'' he said quietly ''I promise you that I will search the four corners of the earth to find a way to keep you with me and our daughter, you will not miss her life my queen'' he vowed before pulling her tighter to his chest and kissing her hair.
Letting out a soft sigh, Charity snuggled closer into her mate''s arms, casting her eyes protectively over her sleeping daughter before rxing and closing her eyes trying to block out the fears from her subconscious mind, trusting her mate''s words that he would find a way to break the evil that hung over their lives like a ck cloud.
