Chapter 25

Here is the final chapter. It's a bit rushed and short but for one: I'm bad at writing endings and two: there will be a sequel or at least some one shots some time in the future.

For now I will go back to some of my older stories.

I hope you liked this story!

Percy finally opened his eyes four days later. He felt well rested and somehow lighter than he had in a long time.

When he looked around he saw a huge man sitting next to his bed and no sign of his family. Had they left him as well?

Just as panic began clawing at him the man opened his eyes and focused his gaze on him. The instant calm left Percy reeling.

The relief he saw was surprising. He didn't know him, did he?

"You woke up." The voice was soft but rough.

Clearing his throat Percy looked at the other man "Who are you?"

"Name's Merle."

"Why are you here?"

Merle looked at the fragile omega in front of him, "You really don't know, lil'one?"

Just as Percy started to shake his head a scent reached his nostrils. Eyes wide and full blown Percy sucked in another breath, "Alpha…"

"Yes, lil'one. You're my omega."

Shamed flashed through Percy as he remembered what had happened to get him to the point where he had considered leaving, for good.

"Hush, now, lil'one." A large hand took his own oh so gently, leaving the alpha kneeling beside his bed. "Everything's ok now, I'got you!"

Feeling himself calm down, instinctively listening to his alpha, Percy shook his head, "It's not ok!"

When Merle gently tugged his hand and pulled him to the floor, straddling his lap, enveloping him in strong arms Percy broke down. Tears were flowing and sobs echoing as the omega haltingly told of the happenings, of the abuse, he had suffered.

Rage tore through Merle. He finally understood why the brothers and fathers were that protective and closed-mouth about the suicidal omega.

Crooning gently Merle whispered back that it would be alright. He would wait for his omega, if necessary he would wait forever.

Percy calmed down, feeling emotionally drained. But his alpha was still there, he hadn't left.

It would take much time to put the young man back together. The punishment of his abuser was the first step. The manipulator behind the screen had been caught.

His alpha remained by his side through it all.

After the trials were over Harry had finally been able to admit to Tom that he wanted to bond with him.

Their shared adventure had shown the young teen that the former Darl Lord had changed, for the better. Tom knew all the names from the muggles in their pack, he didn't punish his followers anymore, other than a few hexes when they deserved it.

The situation overall had calmed down when Bellatrix had been locked up.

She had tried to kill Harry after her power had been taken away. The knife she had used had not even come close to the omega before a protective shield had come up. The shield had consisted of two protective signatures. Tom and Sirius.

Tom's as he was Harry's alpha, even if they were not yet bonded.

And Sirius' as he was the heir to the Black Lord and his godson.

Moody had her directly taken to the court and an hour later she was delivered to Azkaban. Finally punished for her many crimes.

Harry was exhausted. The bonding had been pleasurable but also exhausting. Tom had done everything he could to show Harry what their shared future would be like. He had caressed him, licked, kissed and sucked him all over.

When they finally united their bodies Harry had already been needy and whining for what felt like hour. The pleasure that tore through him at the bonding, at the bite, had been blinding.

Tom felt truly satisfied when Harry blacked out from the pleasure. He had taken great care of his precious omega and, as the bond settled, he felt his love and devotion reflected back to him.

The following days the two were locked up in their new room.

When the finally came back out, willing to leave their home for the company of their family and friends, it was to great news being shared in the Great Hall.

Sirius had also bonded with his two mates. He was finally free and not even the apocalypse could keep the tree of them separated.

Blaise had agreed to the courting of Viktor. Both were getting to know each other and a bonding was planned for the nearest future.

Regulus and Barty were ecstatic when it was discovered that Seamus had become pregnant during their bonding. The omega's first heat had left the young man fertile and he was just as happy as his mates.

Rick and Severus were also getting to know each other. Furthermore, Rick showed an interest in potions and Severus was delight to show him everything that was possible. Rick would never be able to brew more complex potions as he had no magic, but that did not mean he wouldn't be able to help or brew the easier ones.

Luna had shown Daryl the school grounds. The alpha felt uneasy indoors as he and his brother had been outside a long time before the apocalypse happened. She had introduced him to many magical creatures after they had been given magical glasses. That way the alpha was able to see them without problems.

Amy was still proud of her mate. Edwin, with the help of Severus, Poppy, Tom, Lucius and Sirius had been able to cure the virus. The dead were still out walking, but there wouldn't be any more new walkers turning. The magical flash from the ritual consisting of a blood sacrifice, potions and different runes and charms had left them almost blind.

The rush everyone felt was felt all over the world. Leading many back to the outside and going over to fighting the walkers.

This had been discovered when a lone Weasley had come knocking on the wards. The last missing son, Charlie, had finally returned to the family.

Now the world just had to right itself. Many governments were gone, military personal gone. Leaving behind strong enough people to build up a new world.

A new home for the future.
