Vincent rolled his eyes at his older brother's tactics, "It's my turn now, mumma's boy!" Vincent snapped at him making Hunter smirk, "Dude! It's okay. Mom loves me more than you. Just deal with it!" Hunter said calmly getting on his younger brother. Vincent growled and took his mother in his arms, "Mumma loves me more!" He said hugging Nora tightly. Nora rolled her eyes, this was normal for the two of them to fight for Nora's attention. These two brothers!
"Oh hush! I love you both equally!" Nora shushed her eldest son and kissed her younger son's cheek, "You're looking well, Vinny" she said pulling away from her son.
"Yeah! Because of holidays I can sleep in late. I don't have to be in our restaurant" he said going to his father.
It's been over 3 centuries when all the incidents happened. Nora's family have closely knitted over those years. Nora had made her peace with her sisters, she understood why they did what they did. If she were in their shoe, she would have done the same thing. The sisters and brkthers even called out their parents, all thanks to Arora's magic. They finally said their goodbyes with their parents, Earl (their father) explained that they knew thier time was near and they have no regrets for their kids have grown to be such kind and generous people. Aurelia had already said her goodbyes to Nora the night she died but all was left was her sons and daughters, who she said her peace to.
After that everything seemed to fall in place, they were all finally happy. When Hunter was nine years old everyone was shocked to learn that he, like his grandfather was a sorcerer and a pure blooded lycan. Nora was quite scared for the powers he held but thankfully, Hunter was taught by Stephan so he was very well aware of what he was and what he was capable of. After growing up Hunter took after his father's business. As Hunter started growing up Nora wished for another child, that is when she got pregnant again.
Vincent Earl Hounds, the second child. He is all that a mother wishes for, he is kind, polite with a gentle heart but knows the power he holds. But he never lets that ride his head. One can say he really took after his mother as not only did he get his mother's belives and principles but also the passion to bake. Though Nora was not a pastry chef but she sure could bake or else how could she be a world renowned chef. After Vincent had mastered baking, he took over her mother's restaurant which by that time had outlets all over the globe.
Poor Sebastain was alone untill Deena was born, the family's princess. Deena Raya Hounds, she is the apple of Sebastain's eye, his little princess. Deena grew up to be just like her father, nobility and power oozed off of her. She too just like her brothers is lycan and a sorceress. One of the gifts Nora's parents left for her. The three kids were blessed with Earl's and Aurelia's power.
The three could see and talk to their deceased grandparents, which gave Nora a relief. She was delighted to know even after being dead they were in her kids lives.
It's didn't take long for the three to find their Erastis. Hunter was kind of shocked when his Erastis turned out to be a man because he had only been with women. His Erastis was understanding. He knew how difficult it can be to accept and find who you really are, Caden, Hunter's Erastis was by his side helping him find his true self. He never once over stepped his line, he knew that Hunter may not be comfortable with him so soon. But thankfully it didn't take long for Hunter to find out he is bisexual and slam Caden to the nearest surface. Everyone kind of knew that from the start, the fact that it took so freaking long for Hunter to figure that out was more shocking.
Vincent had found his Erastis back when he travelled to India, his mate, Awantika had punched Vincent in the face when he tried to approach her. She was freaked out by the handsome man coming her way looking intently at her with a creepy smile, her words. The poor boy had to follow her with a bleeding nose to tell her that they're Erastis. It was only when Vincent brushed his finger against her skin did the wolf realise that he is her mate, Erastis honestly. That has been a family joke ever since.
The hardest for the family was when Deena found her Erastis. Sebastain couldn't believe she found her Erastis so soon. She was his baby girl after all, his princess. It's like an eight year old girl is playing in the swing and then he blinks and that eight year old is now all grown up coming home with two of her Erastis. Sebastain had almost ripped her Erastis if it weren't for Nora being present. Yes two. Deena had always been adventurous, she always said that one can never satisfy her. So her wish came true, she got two Erastis. Blake and Jade, thank God for they are best friends who always wished to share a mate. One man and one woman. And Deena couldn't be happier. Though the two of them were very seriously warned by Sebastain to the point where Blake ran out of the house in fear while Jade was sitting in the living room crying her eyes out.
As for others, well, Arora got pregnant five times. Don't know how this was possible but maybe being a healer gave her the ability to conceive so easily. Henry was in a fright looking after so many of his kids but he knows he loves them all to death.
Andrew and Samantha (refer to chapter 29, if confused) too had three kids and decided to call quits on the baby making journey. They are to this date very happily married. Andrew can't seem to get enough of his wife and that makes Samantha weak to her knees.
Stephan and Yania are still going strong, though his firecracker keeps Stephan on his toes. The two also had five kids who are all grown up and took after their dad, well mostly. The three girls do take after their mothers attitude while the two men take after their father's chivalry.
Jacob and Steve who are just as in love as they were years back. Just like Ariana and Edmund, they too decided to go childfree. Knowing Jacob and Steve, it didn't come out as a shocker. They never liked kids to begin with.
Thankfully Oliver and Clark too found their mates. Oliver found his mate when he was visiting Brazil for business, she was a gorgeous beauty to say the least, Eloa, with her perfectly bronze skin and silky black hair. She could send any person to get her the moon. As soon as Oliver brought her back in England, all his sisters had circled around her to know her skin care. Oliver was so mad when Eloa spend more time with his sisters than him, a whiny mess as his sisters liked to call him.
Clark had ran into his mate one day when he was petroling the pack's border. He heard singing coming from the direction of the waterfall. He was amused to see his mate yelling out songs with headphones in while she worked a painting of the fall. Selena smelled her mate and when her eyes landed upon Clark her world was finally completed. She ran to him with her vampire speed and jumped on him. Clark welcomed her with open arms, quite literally.
Nora's Father was still going strong with his family and his kids. Nothing could have been better, this is her life. She knows that to get where is is now, if she had to go through the same pain again she would gladly go through it again. Of course there are still many regrets and mistakes but what's life without them?
Nora is forever grateful for the rejection. If it weren't for that she would never be here, standing among those who really love and cherish her.
"MOMMMYYYY!!! Look! Hunter threw mashed potatoes at me" Deena whined glaring daggers at her elder brother. Sebastain wrapped his arms around Nora's waist and pulled her to himself, "You look more beautiful everyday!" He said lowering his head to meet his wife's lips. He captured her lips in a very passionate kiss that sent electric shocks down both of their spine.
"MOMMMM!!! DEENA THREW WINE ON MY SHIRT!" Hunter growled making his parents break their kiss.
"Fucking cockblockers!" Sebastain hissed making Nora chuckle, "Later" she winked at Sebastain making him smirk.
"DEENA! Let go of your brother!" Nora screeched as Deena was pulling Hunter's hair.
The end.
