    129 A New Life


    Tia


    SIX MONTHS LATER


    Luke and I woke upte, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful


    babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright.


    They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his heart was now in good


    shape, and he could do whatever he wanted, which was great news. Our lives were back on track.


    Diamond corp was running again, and we had entered a highly beneficial trade agreement with Santa


    Braee, which was bound to help our poor territories improve. Everything was moving fine. We were at the


    peak of our happiness, and I was grateful to the goddess for the bliss.


    Luke and I got ready and arrived at the lounge. Alpha Aesop and Stacy were there. They usually got


    there before everyone. He had trimmed his beard and hair. He also gained some weight and stopped


    wearing Pyjamas to breakfast. Grandaunt Ummul was there with her caregiver. Aunty Amirah was


    missing, and I did not want to imagine why. Caleb and Kimberly were there, too,pleting our


    household.


    The breakfast moment we all used to dodge in the house became the best part of the day. We caught up


    on each other’s lives and discussed our activities over a carefully prepared delicious meal. Stacy did not


    stop bringing life to our table. She argued about things she did not know, which were cute and funny.


    Aesop respected and loved her. It was as if he was a different person altogether. They went for functions


    together, and he helped her with her organisation. Things were going well. “You two arete,” Aesop


    pointed out, and Luke and I apologised for our tardiness. “Let up, darling. It is not easy taking care of


    three children simultaneously,” Stacy said,ing to our defence, and I thanked her through the mind


    link. She winked at me, and I smiled. We were both constant participants in the underground fight club. It


    was our pastime, and Aesop and Luke usually came to support us while we kicked arse. Luke had


    legalised it, and women now had equal opportunity in the academy and the military force of the


    Woodw ind, just as it should be.


    I grabbed a croissant and was about to take a bite when Caleb cleared his throat to get our attention. We


    were attentive, and Kimberly showed us the engagement ring on her finger.


    I squealed with Joy. It was long overdue. Everyone was happy and relieved that she finally said yes.


    “Congrattions, you two. I wish you the best marriage can bring. I am d you finally said yes, Kim,”


    Luke said, and she smiled. “So when will it take ce?” Stacy asked, obviously wanting them to get it


    over with, and Caleb smiled.


    “Next week Saturday. Kim’s mother wants to have a small party for us,” Caleb said, and I was happy for


    him. Who would have thought they would end up together. I remembered the day


    she was at the graduation party in the club, and she couldn’t take her hands off Caleb. I guess her


    perseverance and love paid off. I was happy for her. She went through a lot and survived it. She did not


    allow the coldness to break her. Instead, she became stronger


    Luke ced his hands on mine and linked me.


    “Let’s spend the day on the cliff,” He said, and I smiled at him. I needed the break and time away from


    everything I needed some peace and quiet too. I needed to be alone with my husband without distraction


    “I will love to,” I linked back, and he beamed at me.


    “Great, your mother ising here to care for the children while we’re away.”He told me, and I was


    excited. I did not feel like working that day, so it was a weed n.


    Stacy and Aesop’s PDA was getting too much. They were worse than Luke and me. Aesop was really


    trying to make up for lost time which was understandable. I wish we could move the office to our wing so


    we could not hear them, but that will be the permanent spot.


    On our way to our bedroom, we bumped into Aunty Amirah.


    “You missed breakfast, Aunty,” Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck She saw


    that I noticed and tried to cover it.


    “Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah cane for breakfast whenever,” I told him, and she smiled at me. Not


    wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on.


    “I hope he is hot,” I linked her, and I heard her giggle as she walked away. It was great seeing her put


    herself out there.


    The once empty, ufortable and sad mansion was filled with joy andughter. Everyone looked


    forward toing home, and everyone looked forwards to breakfast. I wonder if it were the same as in


    the past or even better. From all the stories Aesop told us during breakfast, I believed our time was


    better.


    “Father and Stacy are going to Santa Braee on vacation,” Luke told me when we entered the room. I was


    definitely going to miss them. Aesop for the joy he brought to the table during breakfast and Stacy for the


    fun we have outside, especially in our clubs. It was as if everyone had healedpletely. Aesop finally


    got the revenge and closure he sort, and Stacy got her freedom. Caleb moved on, and Luke and I just


    continued being us.

    We headed for the cliff, and I could not wait to spend time there and watch the sunset. Luke had found a


    way to buy the cliff’snd and made it our permanent get away spot. As Usual, I knew we would be sp


    ling the entire day there. I did not know what the future held for our children and us, but the present was


    blissful. I promised to carry the bliss with me and make sure nothing takes it away. Our ind was at


    peace, and the poor territories were beginning to thrive knowing that our children will have a better life


    than we did and inherit a better system than us, brought me immense joy Luke and I were strangers


    when we got together, and we both felt cheated. Still, we had taken the pain and disappointment and


    turned them into something beautiful.


    Luke pulled me close the moment we sat on the pic mat and crashed his lips on mine. Somehow I


    knew I would never get enough of this.


    TWENTY-ONE YEARS LATER (A Glimpse into the future)…


    James and Paul’s ceremony was finally taking ce. My son looked handsome in his uniform, and I


    blessed the goddess for giving him to me. He was my favourite. James looked like his father, while Chloe


    looked like me. We had another son after the twins and named him Tristan, and he had a key mark too.


    He was just sixteen and was still at the academy training as a business administrator. Tristan managed


    to show up for his sibling’s ceremony.


    Paul was a joy. We had told him about Elisabeth when he turned fifteen, and he had gone to visit her in


    prison. He remained my son regardless and has never given me cause to worry. Most of the time, I forget


    I didn’t give birth to him. I remembered what the doctors said about him before we met doctor Khalifa,


    and I was d his life proved them wrong. He graduated at the top of his ss, breaking all records. If it


    weren’t for the absence of the key mark, he would have been a fine Alpha. I loved him, and Luke and I


    were proud of him. Looking at him standing beside James brought joy to my soul. They reminded me of


    Luke and Caleb. Their bond was strong and unbreakable, and we knew they would serve the ind well.


    Kimberly and Caleb had a son after Emma. They named him Lyle, and he was a ‘techy’ like his father.


    He had no key mark, but his intelligence was off the roof. Just like Tristan, he wasn’t interested in being


    in the ranks.


    Stacy and Aesop made sure they made it for the ceremony, and I was d they were there. Aesop had


    loved her properly since they got back together, and their lives had been blissful. She never had a cause


    toin. The troubles that happened in the past were all like bad dreams now. We often joked about


    them whenever we got together. Stacy and I still participated in the fightclub whenever we were around.


    Our lives really didn’t change much, but the ind was better. The trade with Santa Braee had helped,


    and we had expanded our business to other inds, creating jobs and ie for everyone, most


    especially low privileged areas.


    Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still missed her, especially Emma and Chloe. We


    had learned signnguage because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone


    to rest. Luke was d we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with


    children now. She and her husband always came for breakfast on Sundays. We have had to expand the


    lounge to amodate family members.


    Tasha’s mental health was better now, and our friendship had grown. She had two girls and one boy,


    triplets with Mike; they have been a joy in their lives. Their son, Dwayne, had joined the academy with


    James, Paul, Chloe and Emma. He was going to be James’ Delta. Kirk’s son, William, was going to be


    Gamma. It was a fiercepetition between Paul and William for the beta position, but Paul made us


    proud.


    We sat and watched our children line up for the swearing-in. Although Luke wanted to hand the position


    of Alpha to Chloe, James’ mark started to burn, and it was a no-brainer. So there will not be rivalry


    among our children, we divided the ind. Chloe was Alpha of Eastwood and Neev, while Emma was


    Alpha of Dome and Cleeve, but they were still under James as should be. Tristan did not want to be in


    the ranks, so there was no need to allocate anything to him, he would be managing the business for the


    family when the time came. The four of our children had equal shares in Diamond Corp. Caleb’s Tech


    company was doing well too. Lyle, his son would run it when the time came.


    Luke and I could finally kick back and rest. We were definitely going to stay a while in our holiday beach


    house in Eastwood. We were still young, but the heavy lifting where the pack was concerned was over.


    Aesop and Stacymended us for raising our children right, and I was proud of how they turned out.


    Although their stories were still untold, I hoped they would be filled with love, Joy and peace, and


    whatever obstacles they may have, just like we did, I hope they ovee them.


    Luke and I had entered our marriage’s second and most blissful phase. In this phase, we were free of


    responsibilities and had all the time in the world to continue our love story.
