Three months later...

Alex's POV

"He'd be proud of you George." Philip puts his hand on Geogre's chest, his smile is radiant and eyes gleaming.  Geogre's eyes rise to the sky and a smile flickers on his lips.

His father wasn't a bad man. The thing living in him was, the Aaron Burr we knew and hated originally. Geogre's father was a respectable man, he raised a good kid. We've  all made sacrifices during our time going head and toe against Aaron, but in the end. It was his true feelings that ended up being his fatal flaw. The thing that made him human, that he tried to hide and shove under, was his worst enemy.

"I... know. " George gives a soft smile and presses a kiss to his husbands lips gently.  I smile at Thomas and he lays his head on my shoulder.

I look at George and study him, my smile falters. Poor kid. I still remember watching my son surge forward when the bonds holding us to the dloor broke, he bolted down the hall and all but busted the door down. He flung himself into the room, we all heard the sobs and the screams of grief from George.

The office had been turned into a  room mixed with blood, ice turning the wood britle, and the smell of death. Aaron's eyes are closed and he had a small smile on his chest, the thick air of magic around him was gone and he looked... human. The grace and stealth of being fae gone, he looked mundane.

"You're thinking about Aaron again, aren't you?" Thomas sighs. I nod slowly.

"I feel bad for George, his father and him were close.  I'm suprised he can say his name without busting into tears. Yet..." i sigh." I'm glad he's gone. Im glad he gone so hec cant hunt and hurt us anymore. I'm finding it hard to grive a man who I only saw as trouble."

"I unsertsand, I think alot of people have the same issue.  He glances at Laf and Herc who are talking quietly by the swing sets . We both chew on our cheeks and watch as George braids a flower into Philip's hair.

"Aren't they just adorable?" I whisper in his ear. Thomas' smile grows as he nods slowly.

"You know whos cuter?" He kisses the tip of my nose. I chuckle under my breath and shake my head.

"Who?"

"You, you owl." He smirks and I roll my eyes. I lean into his side happily and lay my hand on his lower back.

"So I've evolved from an angry munchkin to an owl?"  I cock an eyebrow. He thinks about this for a minute and nods with a wide grin." I could still kick your ass."

"No way mr. Owl." He ruffles my hair.

"That's Mr.Jefferson to you. "  I kiss his knuckles, he blushes and hides his face behind my neck ." Awe, I've never seen the big bad night court kinb hide his blush."

"Oh hush." He nudges my shoulder.  I laugh and shake my head.

"I love you Thomas. " I sigh and kiss his lips sweetly.

"I love you too Alexander. "His hands cup my face and he leans into it happily.

"Oh come on, PDA you guys!" John shoves Thomas' shoulder playfully and sits down on the park bench nearby.

"Do I need to remind you what we caught you and Charles doing the other day?" I cock my head, John turns bright red and his attention turns to the ground quickly. " Where is Charles?"

"Something about taking care of a few open ends." He shrugs and plucks a flower from the ground.

"Good enough. " I  nod my head. He gives a firm nod and eyes study the Hudson river . We all sit in silnce for a few minutes before Philip starts chuckling.

"I never thought I'd get this moment. To live my life in peace with my family. " His head lays against George's shoulder happily and the melt into eachother .

"No, no I didn't  think so either. " Thomas shakes his head and eyes watch the plump cotton candy clouds float above us. I give a soft smile.

"Well, after all." I glance around me and study Thomas' handsome Fae features.

"Love conquers all."

A/N; Holy fuck is this series really done? Dang.

I would love to thank everyone for their lovely, amaizng comments and votes. They've really helped me push through some days that are harder the others. Hell, I'dlike to thank anyone for just reading this. This story has gotten alot more attention then I couldve ever imagined! I know its not as much as some others stories, thats fine by me.

I've put in alotof time, effort and love into this story. Every like or comment or just view makes me feel like I'm on top of the world.

I can't even begin on how to thank you guys for all the love you've given this story!

It is sad to end this series. I started writing the first book after a dear friend of mine had died, I had hoped that it would've helped me with the grief and get my mind off  things.  And you know what, it really did help. Im so glad to have started it, but it's reallu hard to end it.

I will be writing books in the future,( hopefully have a new one up by either tonight or tommrow, ill let you guys know when its up), but this seires will alwaysbe my favorite.  Just for the memories around it  and the love Ive gotten from you goes.

So thank you guyes for everything! And hopefully Ill have that book out soon!
