Isak : Dreams of a Fallen Flower

Epilogue

"Alpha, how many children do you want?" asked Esben out of the blue. They were coming back from work and the omega was brooding all the way.

Magnor spat the drink he was having, again.

"What goes on in that brain of yours?"

"I said I want seven, I didn't ask you," said Esben, pouting for good measure. Because his pouts always worked on his alpha.

"I have not thought about a definitive number and be a little professional will you?" asked the alpha rolling his eyes in exasperation.

Esben pouted a little more and when he placed his hand on Magnor's thigh, his hand was not brushed away. He knew he was giving his husband-to-be a problem to deal with, placing his hand subtly on the inner thigh, drawing circles there. He met Magnor's eyes and flushed. His man is gorgeous.

When Magnor was to leave for the day, he looked at Esben.

"How about we have our next date in my penthouse?" asked Esben. Magnor moved the long hair falling on Esben's face.

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to keep me pleased. I am not one of those boyfriends who want in after the first date," said Magnor. Esben's eyes were filled when he looked up.

"No one has ever stayed, denied or not- I just-

Esben hugged him tight. Magnor held him close.

"You know I never leave, even when ordered to"

"I know, obnoxious alpha"

"But I will listen to you. If you need space and kick me out of our rooms, I will accept it and not invade your privacy and need for space"

"M'Kay. I know, Alpha," said Esben.

Arkyn was fast asleep when he felt movement. He expected one of his children, but it was Isak who climbed into the bed.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Better," said Isak tucking his head into the crook of his neck. Arkyn ran a soothing hand through his back.

"I don't want to sleep without you ever again," said Isak softly, Arkyn almost missed it.

"Then you don't have to," said Arkyn.

"Alpha, please don't hurt me ever again," said Isak.

Arkyn kissed him, slow and steady.

"I promise"

They laid like that, awake in each other's arms before small foot padded in. All four screeched to a halt when they saw them both together and then jumped on the bed. They caught their kids gently and held them close.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you? Well, I love you so much, Isak. Living without you was the worst thing that happened to me. Even the streets and the betrayals don't count. The pain I caused you- I can never be sorry enough. But please know this darling, I love you," said Arkyn.

"I love you too, Arkyn," mumbled Isak, pressing his head to crook of his alpha's neck.

"We love you too," mumbled Erick and the parents smiled as they pulled their babies closer.

Mihaita looked at his husband. Vilhelm was deep in thought.

"What eats your head?" asked Mihaita.

"Our children. How soon they grew up, gave us grand children and everything is changing so fast," said Vilhelm.

"Are you having an extra late mid life crisis? Husband dearest you are way behind if that's the case," teased Mihaita.

Vilhelm tackled him to bed and towered over Mihaita.

"Does it look like I am having an extra late mid life crisis?"

"No. You are simply thinking too much, alpha," said Mihaita fondly.

"Can you come in terms with the fact that our little Isa gave us grand children, that our baby
Esben is going to be married in a few days time. Hell, someone even made proposals for our younger babies. I just feel like, they all grew up so fast. I feel like we have been together for eternity and yet feels like we only got so little time together," said Vilhelm.

"You drank from the whiskey stash when I wasn't looking," scowled Mihaita, hands on his hips.

Vilhelm had that caught look on his face.

"What did you do to keep the smell away?" asked Mihaita, running his hand through his stupid alpha's hair.

"Ate cardamom," huffed Vilhelm.

"You think you are so clever. All it takes is one firm interrogation from me," said Mihaita pulling at the man's moustache which had greyish tinge now.

"You get hotter as we grow old, its almost unfair and I would complain if I wasn't the one benefitting from this," said Mihaita, leg between Vilhelm's thighs.

"Are you going to climb me?" asked Vilhelm amused as he pulled Mihaita down on top of him.

"Alpha, have you ever felt like you want to be inside a person and merge into one and never let go of the warmth?" asked Mihaita.

"With you, every day," said Vilhelm.

"That's how I am feeling. So don't mind me if I do climb in," smirked Mihaita.

Vilhelm laughed, a clear melodic laugh that had Mihaita undone. They kissed.

"The love that you receive is equal to the love you give... And for those rare souls who give with no thought of receipt... only they are worthy of the eternal love; the force that breaks bonds of brotherhood, that transcends the vagaries of pride and ego, a binding of souls that endures across the Ages" - Tyrphosa, Priestess of Aphrodite
