Peace. Finally, after this last year with all the craziness that had happened, after the heartache and pain, the happiness and joy, the losses and the gains, the hard time and the good, we finally have a semblance of peace in our lives. I have been longing for this, looking forward to times when I didn’t need to worry as much. Since August of last year, we have been wary and on edge.
And now we are able to relax.
It’s been ten months since it all started to happen, the Jaegan and then the reveal that had come with its own set of problems. And hell, it was actually only eight months of issues for us. Nine if you date back to the first of the murders, but only eight that we actively knew about it all.
Thinking about it all now, yeah there was a lot that happened all at once, but it was hardly all that we had had to deal with over the years. I was thirty-nine years old. It has been twenty-one years since I met Reece, twenty years that we have been married, and almost twenty years since I became a mom for the first time. That was still almost six months away.
When I remember the days when I first met Reece, when I thought that he was just an angry alpha that didn’t want to ever see me again, that had been the night that he literally tripped over me and landed on top of me at the party. Then everyone got mad at me because I stayed at Juniper’s for the night and didn’t tell them.
Also, I was attacked by that rogue on the way home, Reece had saved me that time as well.
From that day on, I have lived with Reece, though not always willingly. In fact, that night I had tried to run away, and Reece stopped me. That was the first time that he called me Little Bunny, and I hated it with a passion. And that’s part of the reason why I called him Fido. And while I continued to call him dog names, he stuck with Little Bunny, and it’s become his affectionate name for me.
I will admit, I actually kind of like it now.
In the beginning, the biggest problem we had was who was after me and why. Reece thought it was because of his status as an Alpha, and that one of his enemies was after me. And while there was an enemy of his working with the bad guy, it was my father that was after me. And oh what a trip that was. The fight that led to me getting my wolf and finding the traitors, it was crazy.
Then, I got engaged, got pregnant, got married, fought my father, lost the baby, killed my father, got pregnant again, and had Reagan and Rika. Oh, and let’s not forget that during that time I found out that I was the Goddess Incarnate, the Luna Queen, and the leader to all the shifters in the world. And Thoth made me the Queen to all the magic users as well.
It was a lot of responsibility for me at the time.
It wasn’t until I went to the Fae realm for the second time, found out that Queen Gloriana and her brother Valerian were related to me. That I was Valerian’s great great great granddaughter. They helped me build my kingdom, having had practice with that for a long time. And, ever since then, I have had a functioning kingdom that spans the entire world. It wasn’t all peaceful though.
Hello everyone, Deni Chance here. First and foremost, thank you. Thank you all for reading this story of mine. Thank you for sticking with it through all 1,195 chapters, not counting the 2 auxiliary chapters that explain things, I am not counting those for the chapters. I want to thank you all for the comments, the gifts, the reviews, and the support. You readers are who I did all of this for.
When I first started this story back in 2020, I thought that it would be one quick story about Trinity and Reece, and their struggles to become a proper couple. However, about halfway through the first volume I knew that it needed more. The story was talking to me more and telling me where it wanted to go.
And it was at that point, when I was wrapping up the first volume, that I knew exactly how many volumes this book was going to have. And I knew at that time what the base premise of each volume was going to be about. However, I was just as shocked as the rest of you as I was writing the story, it was constantly leading me down paths that I hadn’t expected.
Not that it was necessarily a bad thing though. It was exciting and I have loved writing this story.
Trinity and Reece have been through a lot over the years, the three years that I have been writing them and the twenty-one years in their story. I have incorporated some real life incidents in the story, and several made up ones as well. I tried to keep a lot of things as realistic as possible, such as the medical issues and events, and others are obviously fantastical.
This is a fantasy novel, so it was within reason that I was able to alter things to my own liking.
It is also worth noting that all except for three or four cities in this story are real. Even Kanorado is real. That was a little place that I thought would be perfect for hiding because there were not a lot of people that would be able to report them. The same goes with Benkelman, Nebraska. Real place, just described in my own mind more than a personal experience there.
Also, I have never been to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have looked at maps and used some real locations, but for most places, the stores and restaurants are all fictional. That will go with all of my stories. Sadly, Franny’s was never a real place, but I would have loved to have eaten there. It was a place that felt so friendly and welcoming to me.
I know that a lot of you have laughed, cried, screamed, cheered, and so much more on this journey with Trinity and Reece. I have done the same as I put so much time and effort into this story. This story is a big part of my soul that I am a little sad to see coming to an end. It is bittersweet because I have written it nearly everyday for the last three years, and stopping is going to hurt.
All is not lost though. There is a sequel coming very soon. The sequel, Chosen Legacy, will follow the children of Trinity and Reece, Shawn and Dietrich, Shane and Falena, David and Rawlynne, and all the others. The youngest of the children that will be included in the sequel will be the quads, Zachary, Zander, Zayden, and Zaley.
I feel that making the next book last nearly twenty years will be too much, but it’s only a little over six years for the quads to come of age.
I hope that you are all looking forward to this next book, and that you are all thinking about who it might be that the kids are going to mate with. I know that some of you already have some ideas for a few of them, but the answers will be revealed in the stories themselves.
Please join me in the next great adventure within the Chosen universe. Follow along with Reagan, Rika, Lyssa, Alexa, Levi, Luka, and so many more. The story will be out soon, if it’s not already out by the time that you read this. And thank you all once again. You have no idea how much it means to me that you have all made it to this point.
Yours truly,
Deni Chance
