“And on our new memorial wall” I suddenly interject as Jax looks at me intrigued. “A new idea of mine, very new in fact. But it’s what they deserve, to always be remembered.”

“That’s so kind Luna” they say looking grateful before moving away to others.

“I love that idea” Jax says smiling at my thoughtfulness.

Seeing Luna Ophelia step out of the car with a radiant smile on her face she slowly pushes Alex’s

hand away as he reaches for her, leaving him looking confused. With a cheeky wink she steps back

and suddenly shifts into a regal grey and white wolf. Standing proudly as her mate looks at her in

amazement. “It worked” I hear him whisper before he breaks into a large smile and hurriedly shifts.

Rubbing against one another they then turn and race into the forest, howling to the sky in joy as I

watch with a large smile.

with you, if they’re tired tomorrow blame me” he says with a wink as the pack bursts into laughter.”

Tonight we will not only be celebrating our victory but we will also be celebrating the lives of those

we lost in the fight. It’s never nice to have a loved one die, especially in these circumstances. But

they were warriors, they died a warriors death. Let’s celebrate the positive impact they all had in

our lives and reminisce on all those wonderful memories we have of them all. In the coming days

we will hold their send offs, but for now..let’s enjoy being together, being a pack and being with our friends and family. It’s nice to have you home!” He finishes strongly as the crowd erupts into
