Dwayne's POV

Three years later

I can't remember much from my human life, or the first few years after I turned into what I am but since Delilah and Malakai have come into my life, things have become more important to remember.

David and the rest of us don't remember much from our human lives, and the why behind it is unknown to us.

Maybe its because of how long we've been the way we are or a part of us doesn't care to remember what our lives were like before now, but since I have found my mate and my son, things have become more vital.

I understand my mates concern when it comes to our son and his rapid growing maturity and demands for freedom, as I myself have had many sleepless mornings wondering just how much longer we will have to cherish Kai's youth.

Whether he will decide to become like us, when he will finally no longer needs us for things as he's already striving for independence, like any kid does, and if he will ever plan on leaving us.

I cannot help but feel as though the day something like that happens, I will loose a part of my mate as even though I am her mate and will always hold her heart and soul, a large part of her cares very deeply for our child and I know watching our not so little boy grow up and mature is slowly eating away at her hurts me just as much as it hurts her.

She has put her heart and soul into raising him as best as she can, worrying, caring, tending to his every need, and so much more and if he ever leaves us or even if he turns nothing will ever be enough.

Nothing will give us the time we're all losing back.

It has been a very private conversation between David, Max, and I to give him the option of turning, or stunting his life by turning him but with his rapid growing maturity level, stunting his growth to where it is now will do nothing, as even if he does turn, his mind will only continue to grow and he'll become smarter even though he'd forever look how he does now.

And if Delilah even got a whiff of an idea that I'd even considered this, she'd probably stake me with wood in the heart.

I cannot help but stand idly by as he grows and changes into a young man even though he has only spent so little time on this earth.

At thirteen, he has started going out more during the day and has adapted a more normal sleep schedule which has not only broken my mates heart but my own.

He's ventured out onto the boardwalk alone more times than I can count, and constantly talks about the children his age that he's met on his adventures to the boardwalk during the day, and I cannot help but dread the day he meets a girl.

I about choke then and there with that thought.

My son has not had a normal life, he's never been to school, never made any real friends until about six months ago, and does not have a normal family with regular human parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, or grandparents.

Sure, he has a family, but each and every one of us are vampires. From Max our creature to his mother.

The only human experiences he's ever had wasgoing to the boardwalk and interacting with kids his age, but even then, he's had restrictions and limits to what he could do.

My mate is the best mother she can be for him, but she's strict and over protective beyond belief when it comes to him but with good reason after what happened with those surf nazi's years and years ago.

Our son has reassured us that despite not living a sterotypical normal life, he is happy with the life we've given him and still constantly tells us he is happy here with us.

My only regret is not being able to give him the life we've all wanted to give him, but he doesn't seem to want it, that he is content with how we've raised him and how he still lives.

My only worry is that as puberty comes and his teenage hormones and attitude sink in, that he will not succumb to the common outbursts and attitude problems each and every teenager goes through but of course, it is doubtful as even though he's way to smart for his age, ever single teen goes through it and it will be bound to happen no matter how prepared any of us can be for it, it will still be like trying to tame a bull seeing red.

I cant help but stress over the unknown that we all face when it comes to Malakais future because no matter what we want or wish to happen, he is the only one who can decide what happens with his life.

If its turning into one of us, living out a human life and leaving us, or something else none of us have thought of, we have all agreed to not force any sort of influence on him when it comes to allowing him freedom with the inevitable decision he'll one day face.

That same decision will be something we all have to be okay with, accept and let happen no matter how much any option hurts for us to accept even now with years yet for said decision to be made.

I cannot help but hope and dare I say it, pray, that he becomes one of us and decides to be with us for as long as he's happy here.

As his father for the last thirteen years, it is all I want and all I can wish for.

A life time with the very boy I found sleeping alone in a car at mere weeks old with my mate on a night we least expected to find the most important thing to come into our lives. The baby boy we found, who stole everyone's heart and stole each and everyone one of our heart in one way or another and has become the most vital and perfect member of our family from the day he entered our lives.

My one and only son.

~ Hi everyone, little authors note here. I just wanted to make a cute little chapter with Dwayne's POV and show that he loves and cares about Kai just as much as Delilah does and also wanted to ask for some opinions here.

1. Should Kai meet a girl (created OC by me of course)
2. Opinions on what he should do. Should he turn and stay with everyone, or stay human and live a human life away from them?

Please leave comments and tell me what y'all think, and of course thank you so much for reading!
