Chapter 215 Knox

• I watched as Cleo rushed away, her hand tightly in Landon’s. She had said she wanted to slip away without any emotional goodbyes, so I had told her to go before we did. That in itself had been emotional enough for me. This was my baby girl all grown up. But, there comes a time you have to let them go. But, I was happy for her. I could see a contentment in her eyes that was new. A confidence too. One I had seen develop in Lilah’s eyes over time as we were together. I am glad it hadn’t taken Cleo as long to find that contentment nor confidence as it had for her mother.
• Obviously, their stories and their pasts were different, but clearly they were intertwined. Lilah’s pain made sense now when we saw that Cleo was always going to be fated to Logan’s son. But, as much as I hate that my beautiful mate was ever hurt, it was me that felt eternally blessed, because it meant I gained the gift of Lilah as a fated mate. And, for that I have to be the luckiest guy in the world. I would never stop believing that.
• Even after all these years I could not love her more. She completed my life the moment she came crashing into it, and while she turned everything upside down, she made everything make sense. Nothing would be the same without her now. And the family, and life we had built meant the world to me. So seeing our children all settling down was the ultimate reward. We had done well.
