The End

A year has passed since the death of Larson and Emma, and since that time so much has changed in my, and my family's lives.

My mate and I took the leap and decided it was time to go away from The Vale and move out of the Deepwater pack, something we never anticipated.

Having spent so long in these lands, I would never imagine wanting to live anywhere else, away from my children and family, but after extensive talks with Sora- my beautiful mate, we decided it was time to travel.

My son Caelan, and my Daughter Lisla don't need us anymore, they have their own lives and children now, and for that, I am one proud father, my children's happiness is more than what I could hope for.

"Babe." Sora calls out from the walk-in closet. "Have you seen my pink dress? The one with the flowers on it?" She asked, clear frustration in her voice.

Laughing, I stop what I'm doing and walk into the closet, only to find my mate completely overthrown by a mountain of clothes on the floor.

Sora, whose hair was in every direction but down as she tries- and fails to control what she's caused, chaos in the wardrobe.

"What are you doing?" I ask, amused by what I'm seeing.

Turning around, Sora glares at me cutely. "I give up, it's gone, I can't find it." She groans out, looking around the floor at the clothes.

Shaking my head, I step over the mountain of clothes and help her up. "I told you that I'd buy you another, just forget about it."

Sora's eyes drop and I can feel how sad my words made her, making my stomach twist at the thought of making her just a small bit sad.

"You got that dress..." She says quietly. "After the twins were born and I finally got my body back, it was the first time I felt... like me again."

Seeing how upset she is, I bring her into my chest and hug her tightly, not caring about hurting her anymore seeing as my little mate is growing stronger every day.

I had forgotten all about that dress, I only remember how much she hated how her body looked and felt after our children were born, I was desperate to make her happy again, to have her gain her confidence back.

Only remembering that she liked pink dresses, I had seen it one day while traveling to another realm, it was unique and ever since I laid my eyes on it I had to buy it.

Sora always looked amazing in anything to me, but I knew somehow that giving her that dress would make her happy again, and it did now that I think about it.

It felt like so long ago, until now.

Looking around the room, I can see that it's not here, and with so many girls in our family, something tells me that there's a reason it's not here.

"Did you ask the girls? Hayden always liked coming in here now that I remember." 

Sora hums and freezes as if she figured something out. "Hayden." 

With a smile on her face, Sora stands on her toes and kisses me on the chin. "You're the best!" She says, before rushing out of the wardrobe and out of the bedroom.

Hayden, of course, is my first granddaughter, the daughter of my son Caelan.

I had never understood girls until I met my mate, but having raised one I can fully now say I have 'experience' with them, and now that I think about it, seeing Hayden in here a few weeks ago made things click.

Hayden, who would rather die than wear a dress was changing before my eyes without realizing it, my grandson Harriot made a joke I didn't understand- until now about her 'changing'-
