Epilogue

Avalon

So much has changed in such little time, and I know that I have to thank Ryu for it.

With the majority of the hunters being wiped out, we wouldn't have to worry about them for a while. I know it was a dangerous game that was being played and we very well could have lost everything because there's no reason that we shouldn't have. It's just something that I'm unsure about and I don't know what to make of it. I don't even know if we're doing the right thing. This could be a very dangerous thing that we have decided to do but it is pretty clear that I'm doing what is best for me and screwing anyone who stands in my way.

Ryu and I have finally become King and Queen because everyone quickly realizes that we are the ones who protect the kingdom. Although we tried to not let anything get to us so much, it wasn't really easy, and it was the kind of game that could have gotten us in a bit of trouble. Like I have said before, I don't know quite how well we were going to do but I was going to do everything in my power to make the Kingdom thrive.

And also, I have fallen for Ryu.

I didn't think that I ever would because we were so different but it's like he knew precisely how to make my heart skip a beat. It was weird and unnerving, making me wonder if I could really love someone like him and the answer was yes. I loved him more than I have ever loved someone in my entire life and there's no way that I would choose him above anyone else. When it came to him, it's like he knew precisely how I felt and what I would do because why else would he want something like this? I don't know but I do know it is highly possible that this could be a game being played that I'm not quite sure about.

Thinking that maybe something more is going to happen; I lick my bottom lip and decide to be dealing with it. It's crazy to think how much of this has gone on but I need to let Ryu know. I don't know how he is going to react or even if he is going to be okay with it. I know what I want, and I know how I feel but this kind of thing isn't going to be so easy. When he learns the truth, he might either accept it or maybe he won't want me.

"What's going on?" Ryu asks me since I had asked him to meet me at the place where we met, "Are you okay?"

I don't know how to say this to him, and I nervously gnaw on my bottom lip, "I know that we have been through a lot and I'm not so sure what to do about it. It seems like we have been through enough together and nothing was going the way that we wanted it to… but now, we have to think about the heirs we have created."

Ryu's eyebrows furrow slightly as he looks down at my hands that is protectively on my belly. I'm not sure if he understood what I meant until his eyes pop wide open and his jaw drops. It dawns on him almost immediately what I had just said and it's like he doesn't know how to deal with it. I couldn't be sure about it either, feeling a bit nervous.

"Yes, I'm pregnant." I confess to him.

He immediately draws me closer, and he kisses me. All my worries seem to vanish, and I feel content with everything that has just happened. It makes me a lot more eager for what would come next, trying to decide how much I so desperately want this man. I'm okay with whatever happens between us, I just hope that we don't end up going in the wrong direction.

I mean, I'm lucky to have him by my side. What's the worst thing that'll happen?

Thank you so much for reading Ryu and Avalon's story. Neither one of them intended to fall in love, considering the other the enemy, but both of them knew precisely what would happen between them. Now for Elara, she meets her love in the most unlikely place in "Bear Alpha's Untamed Heart" that you can read by clicking HERE.
