Rogue Runt

Chapter 10

Grace's POV

I wake up on a bed in a night gown and look around confused. I then realize I'm in Quinton's room and wonder why we're home. Suddenly the door opens and my family rush in. They all hug me tightly. "I can't breath" I tell them and they let me go. But Quinton sits beside me on the bed. "What happened?" I ask them.

"You don't remember?" mum asks me.

"I remember going to rescue Adrian's true mate. I must of blacked out" I state. Quinton looks guilty for some reason.

"We rescued her sweetie. Her name was Annie" dad tells me.

"Is everyone ok?" I ask concerned.

"A few bumps, bruises, and scratches. But everyone is fine" mum assures me.

"The master and his witch are dead" Quinton adds.

"Willamina is doing a fine job rebuilding the witch community" mum tells me.

"With your mother's help of course" Dad adds. "I've been asked to be an elder for the hunter society. I accepted" he states.

"That's great dad" I say smiling brightly. "What about the vampires and wolves?" I ask.

"Quinton can fill you in on the vampire side of things. But the wolves are doing well. Adrian is now alpha of his pack and is dating Annie. She's adapting well to pack life" mum tells me.

"Now you missed your birthday sleepy head, so be down in ten for cake and presents" dad tells me. I nod my head and he left with mum. I look at Quinton.

"Quinton, what's wrong?" I ask him concerned.

"I nearly killed you Grace" he tells me.

"But you didn't" I remind him. "So how are the vampires?" I ask him.

"They keep pushing for me to be crowned king, but I refused to do so until..." he trials off.

"Until what?" I ask him.

"Until you woke, being king doesn't matter to me you do" he tells me. "Never before has a werewolf been a vampire queen. But you're my beloved and I refused to become king unless you were at my side" he states.

"I'll always be by your side" I tell him with a smile. "I love you" I state looking into his eyes.

"And I love you" he tells me and we kiss.

"No sex under my roof!" dad yells.

"Dad!" I shout blushing madly and Quinton chuckles.

"Come on birthday girl" he tells me. We left his room and went to the kitchen. Where our parents were waiting. I eat breakfast first before we did presents. We then went to the pack house where there was a surprise party for me. With wolves, vampires, witches and hunter. All celebrating with no anger towards each other.

I open more presents, then there was a huge cake and dancing. Quinton then goes onto the stage. "Attention everyone!" he calls. "Earlier today, Grace agreed to be my queen and I promise to rule all of you with compassion, love, faith and wisdom. But today I have one more question for Grace" he states as they cheer. What did he mean by rule them all? I thought we'd only rule vampires. Mum pushes me onto the stage.

"Quinton, what ar..." I start to ask and he stops me. Then gets on one knee.

"Grace, will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" he asks opening a box. Revealing a white gold ring with a lapis lazuli gemstone with a diamond in the center. It was simple, but beautiful.

"Yes" I say and kiss him throwing my arms around his neck. He kisses back slipping the ring onto my finger.  As everyone cheers around us. Everyone congratulates us and I finally meet Annie.

(Time skip 10 years)

So I guess you all are wondering what's happened the last ten years? Well mum and dad still live in the same house. And have adopted three other children. One a witch named Estelle, one a hunter named Kye and another runt named Gary. They are all in high school and the boys let no one near their little sister.

Annie and Adrian completed the mating process after dating each other for a year. Then got married and had twin boys. Who drive poor Annie nuts, but she loves them to death. And she is also expecting again and is praying for a girl.

Willamina found a warlock and fell in love. They got married last year and are expecting their first baby. Which rumor has it, is a girl. But they aren't telling anyone anything.

How are Quniton and I? You ask. We're just friends now. Just kidding, we're very much in love and married. A year after we married a miracle happened, I became pregnant. Which is odd as vampires can't procreate. But Quinton and I were over the moon. We didn't care if our child was a werewolf or vampire. Turned out, he was both and we named him Jaxon.

He's seven now and loves his younger siblings. Yep, you heard right. Siblings. About two years after not being able to get pregnant again. Quinton and I adopted twin magic users. A witch named Gwen and her younger twin brother Zach. Then earlier this year I discover I was pregnant again. This time with a little princess.

I gave birth to hear a week ago. Today everyone has covered for her naming ceremony. And I mean everyone. Quniton and I don't just rule vampires. We lead the whole supernatural community. Witches and warlocks are our advisers. Hunters as our enforcers with werewolves. Vampires our protectors. We brought them all together and they all vowed to follow us.

Anyway, back to the story. I hold my little girl in my arms. As I stand beside Quinton. Jaxon, Gwen and Zach in front of us. "Welcome our people!" Quinton says. "Today we welcome a new princess into our lives" he states.

"Her name is Selene, Princess Selene" I announce and they all cheer. I hand her to Quniton and he holds her up for everyone to see. Before we return inside and I take her as it's time for her next feed. "We'll join y all shortly" I tell them and they left.

I sit in a rocking cheer and start to feed Selene. When I notice Gwen hiding in the shadows. "Come out Gwen" I tell her and she does so. "What's wrong?" I ask her when I notice she looks sad.

"Do you and papa love me less now with a blood daughter?" she asks me.

"Oh no, sweetheart. Come here" I say and she comes over and I pull her onto my lap. "Your papa and I love you and Zach just as much as we love Jaxon and Selene. Never doubt that" I tell her. "I know we have been a bit preoccupied. What with Jaxon starting to have cravings for blood and being a few years off shifting. And with a newborn. But I promise, we're always here for you both. No matter what" I assure her.

"Jaxon has been avoiding me" she tells me.

"Strange, you and him are usually joined to the hip. You'd think you were twins instead of you and Zach" I state.

"I know, but since he started craving blood he's been avoiding me" she tells me. I smile when a thought dawns on me. "Why are you smiling?" she asks me.

"Just a thought, do you remember what I told you about vampires and their beloveds?" I ask her.

"Yes, you said their beloved's blood is irresistible to them. It sings to them, and that they can lose control when they taste it" she states.

"Exactly, maybe your blood sings to him" I tell her and she blushes madly.

"But we're just kids" she tells me.

"I know, let him know you'll always be there for him and don't care about him craving blood. That you love him no matter what, he'll come around" I tell her. Selene finishes and I burp her. The three of us join the rest of our family. To see the rest of our family and closet friends waiting with them.

Well I was right about Gwen and Jaxon, she was his beloved. They got married when she turned twenty. Zach fell for a huntress. Little Selene, ended up being mates with Adrian and Annie's twin boys. Needless to say her brothers, uncles and father weren't pleased. But us girls kept them in line. They are courting now, trying to work out how to make a three way relationship work. Jaxon and Gwen were made king & queen. And are expecting.

Meanwhile Quinton and I retired. Moved into a smaller house in the country. Became dog and cat breeders. While owning a farm. Which Quinton ran with our Rough Collies. We breed them, along with Cavaliers and Russian Blues. We fostered and adopted a few more kids. Life was peaceful and perfect.

The End
