Happy new year y'all.
Sorry that i couldn't get the second epilogue out this January 1st. It's been really busy for me and this month will get busier. This is something that I was working on earlier and never got to finishing it. I will get the second epilogue out but I cannot promise when.It's mostly conversation so you might find this boring.

The alarm chimes softly alerting the teen sitting on his bed doing homework. He glances at the clock on his phone.

12:00am

He doesn't have time to think before his phone immediately starts vibrating. His screen changes from the picture of his little sister to a flashing black screen with the name 'NAT'.

"Hey", he starts to say when he answers the call.

"Happy birthday javier", she screams and he winces before pulling the phone a little farther from his ear.

"You don't really have to be so loud"

She laughs, "I know. I just felt like it"

"Happy birthday javier", he hears a more quiet voice say in the background.

"Oh come on Zoe, tell your boyfriend happy birthday properly", he hears Natalie tease.

"Stop it Natalie", she says back and he hears a muffled noise.

He hears more muffled noises and they're either arguing or throwing pillows at each other. He sighs and rolls his eyes, he had a homework due later today and he shouldn't be wasting his time with this.

"Look if you two don't—", he doesn't complete his sentence when Natalie quickly speaks.

"Sorry, sorry, she's out of here now let's talk", she huffed as she spoke, slightly out of breath.

"Okay let's talk", he glanced at his sleeping sister on his bed, "And don't be too loud, Dakota's asleep"

"You're such a softie for your little sister"

"She wanted to be the first to wish me happy birthday and she happened to fall asleep"

"And all the other times?", she teased some more.

He sighs, "I'm just letting her cause she says she's scared and you know my parents have their hands full with august."

"I'm so glad I don't have siblings that are really young."

"Sage?"

"Sage is 10, she's a big girl. Plus, she doesn't cling to me like she does with Zoe. Dakota is only two years behind, she needs to learn how to sleep on her own you know?"

"I'm not complaining, besides, I like taking care of her"

"Softie", she teases, "so, how's it being 15?"

He glances at the clock and threw his head back against the back of his padded chair, "it's just been two minutes since I turned 15 and hopefully it doesn't suck as bad as 14."

"Being 14 sucked huh?"

"The acne disaster was worst", he lightly touched his face where there were a few bumps, "I pray they finally go this year"

"Mine are still here but not as bad as two years ago"

"How's it being 17?", he throws her question back at her.

"I'm not 17 yet but I'm sure it's going to suck as bad as being 16"

"I don't think think it was that bad"

"I haven't had time to myself since I turned 16. Alpha training is terrible, my boobs haven't grown a single bit and I hate not being able to visit you", she cries out and he hears her roll in her bed.

"Is alpha training really that bad?"

"I'm not joking Javier. It. Sucks."

"The only good thing about getting older—", she continues, "—is knowing I'm getting closer to being isaac's mate"

Javier scoffs, "that creep that's obsessed with my mum? What do you see in him?"

"He's really cute and he's so nice"

"Natalie, he just caught you from slipping on ice", he rolls his eyes.

"That is enough for me to know that he's such a nice person"

"Clearly love is blind", he grumbles and remembers the times when Isaac was especially mean to him. If he's so in love with his mother, shouldn't he be a bit nice to him. He might be able to put a good word and convince his mother to leave his father.

"Enough of this", Natalie says and he hears her shushed voice, "you know, I finally know what happened between our parents"

"Aren't they friends?"

"Yeah, but—like before that"

"I just know about the part with the shadows and everything after that"

"Well", she drags, "before that, they weren't friends friends"

He kept quiet, hoping that she would expand on that and she did, "my father was your mum's mate but he rejected her"

"You mean my mum or my mum mum"

"Your mum"

"Oh", was all he simply said.

"And he rejected her to be with my mum and around the time that your mum and you met, he tried to kill her and almost killed you in the process"

"Who told you all this?"

"Aunt Faye and uncle Noel accidentally told me, they thought that I knew already", he could hear her lean in, "but don't tell anyone even your little girlfriend—"

"She's not my girlfriend", he interrupts annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah, don't tell anyone okay? Or your mum will kill uncle Noel and aunt Faye"

He pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled, "a bunch of crazy stuff happened to our parents huh?"

"Really crazy", she repeats and they stay in silence for a bit.

"Nat?"

"Hmm", she hummed in response.

"We'll still be best friends after your get your mate right?"

"Yeah", she pauses and continues, "you?"

"Sure. If there's anyone that'll have a problem with my mate will be my dad", he groans out and walk over to his bed. He softly caresses Dakota's hair as she turns in her sleep.

Natalie bursts out laughing, "your dad?"

"Yeah my dad. He's most probably going through a mid-life crisis and keeps on insisting that we're 'drifting apart'", he makes air quotes with his fingers.

"Are you?"

"No. He's just being ridiculous", he sighed, "it's awkward seeing him try to make bonding time between him, august and I"

"Please make a video and send it to me", She says and they both laugh out loud.

A few seconds go by before Natalie continues, "Javier?"

He hums in response.

"I—", she hesitates a bit, "I don't really hate my father you know. I remember him being the absolute best to my mum, Zoe and I."

She pauses and when Javier doesn't reply she continues, "I know he did some terrible things especially to your family but I can't find a place in my heart to hate him", he could hear her voice trembling, "does that makes me terrible?"

"No", he tries to comfort and glanced at the incomplete homework on his desk, "I don't think it makes you terrible. I'm sure my parents are no saints and I know our parents have put it behind them. Besides, you can't help it, he's your father and like you said, you remember him being the absolute best to you"

He picks at a loose thread on his jeans, "so don't beat yourself up over it"

"Thanks", she said, her voice filled with relief.

"No problem but I have to go now, I have a bunch of assignments to do"

"You know you're going to be an alpha right? You can forget about all that"

He stands and walks up to his desk, taking a seat on the chair, "Yeah, well—I want to go to a human university like aunt Quinn so I'm working towards it. It's something I want to do for myself"

"Now you're gonna make me feel bad", Natalie groans and he hears her click her tongue, "well then, I'll leave it to you. Happy birthday again and I'll call you later tonight okay?"

He doesn't have time to reply before he hears the beep signaling the end of the call. He stretches a bit and absentmindedly glances at the clock, he has to be done with this assignment before his birthday lunch today.
