The Syndicater (Dark Verse #6)

Epilogue 3

Alpha and Zephyr - 18 months later

On a humid evening, Kyra Villanova decided to have a tea party with her massive beast of a father.

Zephyr watched with a grin on her face as her huge, scarred husband transformed himself into a total girl dad by sitting on a chair in her room that was too small for him and pick up a cup smaller than his fingers.

The best were the pink, glittery stars sticking on his eye patch.

Bear sat next to her, Bandit in the corner, and Baron right next to her daughter. Somehow, Baron loved her and no one else.

Her mother walked into the room, standing next to her, laughing at the scene. After everything she'd done, in a rage for her daughters, she had been living with them in the compound for months and it had been a lifesaver with her stressful pregnancy. Her mother and she were deeply bonded now.

Zephyr watched her husband play with their daughter, wondering if he would ever remember anything else.

She looked and wondered what his mother would think looking at him now. She hoped she had fulfilled her promise to his mother.

"Rainbow?" he called her, even though her hair was back to blonde now, the same color she had met him with.

"Mama!" her child called, and she rushed to them, taking a seat on an empty, smaller chair.

"How's the gray?" he asked her quietly, knowing her struggles better than anyone. She looked at the love, the family they'd made for themselves, and locked eyes with him.

"Gone."

It would return some days, but there was one truth she had learned.

The grays never last forever.
