His Revenge

Chapter nine

10 years later

Grey's POV

It's been years since I helped to avenge those I lost, and decided to give my second chance mate a real chance. It often feels like it was just yesterday that we got married or had our children.

I even found my twin, who was thought to be dead back then. After all was said and done she and her mate wanted my mate and I to join their pack. I became an adviser of sorts but Wisteria and I chose to stay in her cottage.

We have three children now twin boys who are seven and a baby girl who is three. As a family we take a trip every year to put flowers on the graves of my old pack. Wisteria insists on it, then we visit my old friends and their children.

Christopher and Wisteria are great friends and often do play dates for our kids. "Can you imagine if little Emma here married my William?" I heard Chris say.

"Stop that my daughter is only two!" I had said aggravated, but then turned it back on him. "What if Jason married Winter? Or Felipe married Nadia?"

"I would love that!" He had gushed and I rolled my eyes. Making them all laugh at me.

Later David had pulled me aside and said, "I'm so thankful that you are still with us today. I remember when you had left that you planned to return as one of the dead."

"In a way I did, atleast the part of me that was consumed with vengeance and hatred. I was given a second chance at life when you guys saved me. Then again when I met Wisteria, at first I wasn't going to give that a go but, I got the opportunity to talk with Mal. She wanted me to be happy with Wisteria, to give us a chance to have the family that I had been denied before. She was more than ok with it, infact she was pissed I was giving it up. I think that's what helped the most, her blessing. I felt like I was being unfaithful till she gave it to me. Does that make sense?" I ask and he nods.

"I get it, and I don't blame you I would have reservations as well were I to be in the same circumstance. I'm thankful that it all worked out in the end. Cause if I had to bury you after everything that happened, it would have broken our hearts. To us you have always been family and you always will be." David says clapping my back and I feel the same.

I didn't lose everything like I thought I had, it took me years to fully let my hurt go. Or atleast not let it burden me so much. I'm truly happy now and that right there is the best revenge.

Wisteria's POV

It warms my heart to see Grey so happy, when we first met his eyes were so vacant. It was like he was a living ghost, bound to this place unable to move forward.

Looking at him now he is so full of life, he plays with our children. He runs around with our boys teaching them to fish and work with their hands. He reads to our daughter and rocks her to sleep every night.

He works as an adviser for Magnus, should he need one, but mostly just works with his hands. He trys to just be present for us, not really joining in pack politics.

Now that his uncle is dead however peace has been felt far and wide. No one wants to relive his tyranny. How long this peace will last only the Gods know. I hope it lasts forever but I'm not foolish enough to trust it will. Sadly there is always some megalomaniac out there ready to terrorize the masses.

But enough of that, today is Grey and Josie's birthday. Her mate decided to take her on their second honeymoon while his parents babysit their children. They have three sets of twins! Poor girl must be exhausted, but I bet she will be carrying another set when they come home. I know she's happy though, I just wonder how Grey is going to react to his secret birthday present. We had a party for them last week so he got most of his gifts then.

Jason gave him a rare looking snakeskin he found (it was his treasure he said it was to give Grey luck). Felipe found a very shiny rock that ended up being a piece of quartz. Our baby girl Emma gave him a big slobbery kiss and a dandelion she picked. I was going to make a chest for it all but I knew he would just put everything in his special box like he has with the sonogram pictures of our children and our wedding photo. So I made him a protective charm like I have for each of our children. That way I know he will always be safe. Each one takes more than a month to complete so I can't make them for every one.

It's now nine thirty at night, Grey is checking the doors and our babies before coming to bed. I'm nervous but I have his gift in my hands, I just have to wait.

"I swear our boys are too much," he says chuckling as he comes in. "I put them to bed an hour ago and they were still messing around, but tell them no swimming tomorrow and BAM snoring in two seconds."

I laugh, "yep sounds like them, they get that from you," I tease.

"What? You're worse than I am," he says pretending to be offended as he changes to come to bed.

Now or never, I clear my throat, "babe I have something for you, here happy birthday sweetie," I hold out the box and he takes it.

"Thanks honey but you already gave me something," he says perplexed and I urge him to open it.

Removing the lid he looks inside and turns to me, "seriously? You're not kidding?" I shake my head.

"Oh my god you're pregnant?" He says and pulls me into a hug making me laugh.

"Yes I found out today actually," I say with tears in my eyes.

"Thankyou, I love you Wisteria," he says before he kisses me passionately.

"I love you too Grey." I say softly thanking the Goddess for all that I've been blessed with.

The End.
