Violent Delights and Ends

Chapter 16 - Did my heart love till now?

The final chapter. But there will be a happy epilogue after this tragic last chapter. Because happy ending won in a vote I had on Instagram 😂 but I also got a few comments that the logic choice would be a tragic end. So it's both.

Barry's POV

When I opened my eyes again I was sure I had died and woke up in whatever afterlife a vampire gets. But then confusion set in when the first thing I saw was a pair of candles burning low on the golden night stand next to the gigantic bed I found myself in. It had silver sheets and warm fluffy pillows. And a warm body was wrapped around me. Two strong, familiar bare arms held me close while a bare muscular chest was pressed against the ruined black shirt I had been wearing when I died. It was Oliver. Wait did he die too? But if we were both dead why would he be silently crying with his bearded face placed on my chest?
  "You're back!" Kara exclaimed and it brought the vampire queen to my attention. She was sitting in a grand golden and green chair next to the bed. Her golden curls were still a mess and her black dress was blood-stained and ruined, but other than that she appeared to be fine.
  "Barry. I thought I had lost you forever." Oliver said with a sob stuck in his throat as he looked up and met my eyes. His icy blue wolf eyes were red-eyed from crying as he cupped my cold face in his warm hands. I wasn't dead.
  "What happened?" I asked in confusion as I looked between the relieved werewolf and the vampire queen next to the bed.
  "When Oliver ripped Hunter's head off that cowardly Judge Thawne let me go and ran away." Kara started explaining what had happened after I had blacked out.
  "Then I gave you some of my blood to heal you, but it looked like it was too late because you had lost too much blood. Still I gave you enough to almost pass out myself. Then Kara forced me to drink from her and suddenly my pack showed up and they brought us all back here to the Queen Palace." Oliver explained while he squeezed me tighter and I wrapped my arms around him in return. Tears streamed down my face. "That might've been two-three hours ago, I don't know..." he added with a sigh as he slipped his fingers into my dark hair.
  "So we're not all dead?" I asked and a relieved chuckle escaped Oliver's throat and Kara giggled too. He squeezed me tighter and I relaxed in his arms as I returned the hug.
  "No, but I doubt it's all over. Thawne is probably just planning his next move so I'm going back to Night City before the dawn to try and have him removed as a Judge." The vampire queen said with a deep sigh.
  "But one thing is over. Hunter can never hurt you again." Oliver said with a low growling voice before he pulled me in for a passionate kiss. I sighed into his warm mouth before I returned the kiss with the same passion and drove my fingers into the werewolf's dirty-blonde hair. The kiss filled up all my senses just like our first kiss a year ago had. I felt his beard against my cold skin and his warm tongue that mapped out my mouth while mine playfully fought his for dominance. I relished in the way his lips tasted and his intoxicating werewolf scent. I didn't even care about Kara's presence until she cleared her throat and caused our lips to part from the heavy make out before it went too far.
  "Come on, just ask him already." The grinning vampire queen said with her fangs and red eyes sparkling as she threw out with her arms and pointed at something on the nightstand. I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion as I looked between Kara and the werewolf I love.
  "Ask me what?" I wondered in confusion and noticed a heavy blush spreading on Oliver's face before he sat up on the bed and reached for something on the nightstand. A small golden box. It didn't take a genius to figure out what it contained. Tears welled up in my eyes. Happy tears this time as I sat up next to the shirtless handsome werewolf prince.
  "Will you marry me?" Oliver asked while he opened the box with a smile on his face and revealed a golden sparkling ring. I placed a hand over my mouth while he took my free hand in his own. "I told you in front of those evil vampires earlier tonight that I don't want to live another moment without you. And I really meant it. This past year without you after Laurel left me was... hellish. Because I love you, Barry and I want you by my side for the rest of my life. However long, or short, that might be. So, Bartholomew Henry Allen, will you do me the honor of becoming the first vampire husband to a  werewolf?" the werewolf prince asked after his long declaration of love and I nodded with moved tears streaming down my face.
  "Yes, of course I will marry you, Oliver Queen." I responded with a quiver to my voice and he and Kara both chuckled as the werewolf placed the ring on my finger. "I love you. And I don't think my vampire heart really loved until now. I still loved Iris when I became a vampire because she was my humanity. But she was the love of my human life. You're the love of my vampire life." I said before I wrapped my arms around his bare shoulders and pulled him in for another passionate yet tender kiss that both of us never wanted to end. I think I could hear Kara's applause, but I was so lost in the kiss.
