SHAWDOWS OF THE MOON (Dwayne Grahams & Bryce Grahams)

🐾Epilogue🐾

Dwayne Grahams

Nothing makes me feel this way. No one can make me feel safe even in thr midst of chaos. No one. There's no one. Except for her.

The party started and all the invited guest are now here. Tanging siya lamang ang hinihintay ngunit ng makita ko siyang naglalakad papasok sa bulwagan kasama si Delaney ay parang huminto ang mundo ko.

There. The girl who can make me feel that this world doesn't matter. The girl who can make me feel thousands of emotions at the same time.

Magkatabi kami ni Bryce at malaki din ang ngiti niya habang tanaw si Delaney na papalapit.

"My boys are all grown up. I'm so proud of you both", naiiyak na sabi ang aming ina.

She hug us tightly and kiss our forehead.

"Thank you, mom. For all the years of taking care of me", si Bryce.

Mom cried. "Very much welcome, son", aniya naman dito.

Niyakap ko din ang ina. "We love you, mom", sabi ko as she hug and kiss me on my forehead again.

Dad also walk towards us ng nakalapit na rin ang dalawa. Tyrell is now in tears as she stares at me with a trace of happiness in her eyes.

Mabilis ko siyang niyakap ng mahigpit.

"I love you", sabi ko.

She nodded. "I love you more".

Mom inserted herself between me and Bryce. She grab both of our woman for a tight hug. "Thank you for making my son happy. Welcome to the family", sabi nito.

"Thank you po, Luna Queen", si Delaney.

"Thank you so much, Luna", si Tyrell.

Umiling si mama. "Don't call me that. Drop the formality since we're all a family now. Call me mom from now on", sabi nito.

Dad also gave his words to both of them and welcome them to our family.

Ang mga pinsan ko ay nandito rin.

Thindrel tapped ny shoulder with a smile on his face. "Pinagseselosan mo pa ako diyan noon", sabay turo niya kay Tyrell na ngayon ay masayang nakikipagkwentuhan sa kay Freya at Amara.

Umiling ako. "Who wouldn't? You're hugging her when it should be me", umismid ako.

"Because I thought you never care. See? Mahal mo naman pala pinakawalan mo pa. E hindi sana iyon mangyayari", aniya sa akin.

Siniko ko siya at tunawa lang. Bryce and Delaney is busy talking to Delaney's family. Kasama sila mama at papa doon. The Original vampire family is on the presidential table too kakadating lang din nila dahil medyo malayo iyong Bulgaria at hindi pa namalayan nila mama at papa.

I interrupted Tyrell from my cousins.

"Your family is here. Let's go", sabi ko. Tumango naman siya at nagpatianod sa hila ko. Akala ko ay hindi namalayan ng aking ama ang kanilang pagdating ngunit ng makapalit kami doon ay masaya na silang nag-uusap.

"Good evening, po", sabi ko sa kanilang lahat.

Tyrells' uncle nodded back at me. "Good evening, hijo", the older one said.

The two younger men stand up and walk towards me. Kinabahan kaagad ako. They are so intimidating. And I'm still confused how dad became friends with them.

"I'm so happy for ny niece that she found a worthy man like you, Alpha Dwayne", this one is named Cecilion. The most powerful among them.

The other one laugh. "Relax. We're rooting for you the whole time. When Tyrell said that her mate is an Alpha. We drove her back here for you", this one also named Nathaniel.

I laugh awkwardly. Tyrell is now busy talking to her cousins habang ako ay kaharap ang dalawa niyang tiyuhin.

The party is smooth. Malalim na ang gabi at nagsasayaw pa ang mga bisita sa bulwagan. Nakahanda na rin naman ang mga silid para sa mga bisitang mananatili dito tulad ng pamilya ni Tyrell at kay Delaney.

Kaagad kong hinawakan ang kamay ni Tyrell ng makawala na siya sa kanyang mga pinsan dahil nagsasayaw na rin ang babaeng pinsan at ang isang lalaki.

"Can I have this dance, my lady?", I asked.

She smiles at me. "Yes", she excitedly said and stand up.

Inalalayan ko siya hanggang sa makarating kami sa gitna ng bulwagan at nagsasayaw sa mahinang tugtog. I saw Bryce and Delaney from the other side of thr dancefloor.

Itinuon ko kaagad ang tingin sa pinakamagandang babae sa harapan ko. I snaked my arms around her waist and pull her close to me as we sway with the rhythm. Nilagay niya naman sa batok ko ang dalawa niyang braso.

She place her forehead on my chest as we dance. Tahimik lamang kaming dalawa habang nagsasayaw at dinama ang bawat patak ng tempo ng musika. I can hear her heartbeat against mine.

Ng hindi ko na nakayanan ang katahimikan namin ay inangat ko ang kanyang mukha para magkaharap kami.

"I love you so much. We're finally together, my Luna", I whispered.

"I love you too, my Alpha", she said back.

I crouch a little and kiss her lips passionately. I don't care if the other will see us kissing here. I just want to feel this moment with my Queen.

We're finally together and we'll face all odds ahead of us together too. Ee can't promise that the future ahead of us is all peaceful. There will be another chaos again but we'll face it bravely. Love and being together is our weapon. Nothing can ruin what's between us.
