Skr


    “Are you sure you won’t grow bored of me if I drink from the well?” I ask Lucas with a gleam in my eye.


    I already know my own mate could never get bored of me, but I would like to hear him say it.


    “Bored? Oh,e here, you!” Lucas pulls me into his arms, his heart, and chest right in my face as he


    hugs my smaller form. His fingers gently trace my back, stirring a familiar warmth in my chest. “I


    wouldn’t have taken you here if I didn’t want to share my life force with you, you know that, right?”


    I smile into his chest. “Are you sure you want me to stay this age forever, though?”


    He pulls back to look at me then. “For me, it doesn’t matter, but what’s important is what you want. Do


    you want to age a little before drinking from the well, or are you ready to stop aging here and now?”


    I don’t have to think about my answer. It doesn’t seem like my sister is aging anymore, and I kind of


    want to stay close to her age. I also wouldn’t want to be older than my own Mom. It feels right that she


    stopped agingter than me.


    “I want to drink from the well now,” I say, knowing Irma is smiling in the background somewhere with


    Lucas‘ parents and mine, who have all already had a taste of the magical water.


    “Good,” Lucas grins and picks up his backpack from the ground, handing me a cup. “Fill it up and


    drink.”


    I take the cup in my hand, feeling its lightness. I turn to face the well, its shimmering surface pulsating


    with an energy that’s both ancient and timeless.


    I dip the cup into the water, watching as it fills up with a liquid so clear it almost seems invisible. The


    coolness seeps into my fingers, and I can’t help but gasp at the sensation. It’s not just cold water; it’s


    living energy, magic that will bind my life to the life of my mate.


    Turning back to Lucas, I see support reflected in his eyes. His gaze is steady and caring, full of


    admiration and gentle encouragement. He is waiting for me to drink, and I do it without hesitating.


    Once I’m done, Lucas‘ parents, Irma and her mate, and my parents break into cheers.


    “That’s our girl right there!” my Mom exims before she looks up at the man who just gave me eternal


    life. “Thank you, Lucas, for sharing your life force with our daughter and letting her live for as long as


    her family will live. This means everything to us.”


    “The pleasure is all mine,” Lucas says as he wraps his arms around me once more. His nose is quick


    to find my hair to inhale its scent. I’m starting to wonder if he is addicted. “I wouldn’t want to live forever


    without my precious Skr. Life would be boring.”


    “I know the feeling,” his dad says as he cradles Lucas’s Mom to his chest. She is held in bridal style,


    and Xavier sighs before inhaling the scent of her hair; it must be a family thing. “I’m so relieved that my


    precious mate will live forever.”


    “Oh, hush,” Daisy says while looking up at her husband with a wicked smile on her lips. “You’re just


    saying that when, in reality, you know I’m going to drive you insane for the next couple of centuries.”


    “Yeah, but I don’t mind,” Xavier mutters into her dark hair as he continues to cradle her. “You’re a little


    terrorist, but you’re MY terrorist.”


    His words make Daisy melt in his arms, and her giggles fill the air, her happiness infectious. I watch as


    she buries her face in Xavier’s chest, stifling herughter and causing a wide grin to spread across my


    face.


    This is what I wanted all along, a family.


    I have a loving mate who is willing to share his life with me, kind and understanding parents and a


    sister who is he annoying but who I still love. So, yeah, this is basically heaven. I’m happy, and this


    kind of happiness is rare, and I am lucky to be a part of it.


    Lucas steps back a little so he can look down at me. “Ready for forever, Skr?”


    “Forever?” I smile before I realize something crucial. “Wait, does this mean we will be Alpha and Luna


    forever? Oh my god, the pack is going to get so tired of us!”


    1/2


    Lucas barks out augh, throwing his head back in amusement. “Well, I suppose we’ll just have to


    keep things interesting then, won’t we?”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    There’s mischief dancing in his eyes and I know then that as long as he’s by my side, forever will be


    anything but boring.


    “You could always find recementster in life,” Xavier shrugs a massive shoulder. “Just give the


    pack to a worthy werewolf once you no longer find it fun to lead ande and live with me and Daisy


    in the magical realm.”


    “In the magical realm?” I ask.


    “Yeah, we want to try living here,” Daisy smiles. “It’s where our ancestors came from, and honestly? I


    kind of like the atmosphere here.”


    Joaquin smiles at that, almost as if he understands they areplimenting his world. He looks down at


    my sister with loving eyes, and she giggles.


    “Yes, we are staying too,” she strokes his chest. “I know you’re the happiest here since you can freely


    shift between your sizes without feeling weird.”


    Joaquin grins before leaning down to ki*s her. It looks so romantic that I re up at Lucas usingly.


    “Where the heck is my happy ending ki*s?”


    Laughing, Lucas leans down, his palm resting on my cheek as he studies me. “You want a happy–


    ending ki*s?” His voice is teasing, but his gaze is intense, sending electric tingles down my spine.


    Before I can reply, he closes the distance between us and ims my lips with his own.


    The ki*s is soft yet lingering, filled with promises for a future together. I close my eyes and sink into it,


    relishing the feel of Lucas‘ mo*th on mine. Our first ki*s as immortals, a ki*s that signifies the beginning


    of our forever.


    And I can’t wait for our new life to start.
