Diabolik Soulmates

~Epilogue~

Hello fellow fangirls/fanboys!

As per several requests for a final ending chapter to finalise this story and it being over a year since the story ended, I thank you for all waiting patiently for me to finally decide to come back and properly finish it off as I had originally intended. I wasn't initially going to write a final chapter, but I did feel as though the story was left dangling on loose threads that needed to be tied up in a pretty red bow for this book to be considered finally and absoltely finished. 

So, without further ado, I present the epilogue to this story, a short and sweet ending to one hell of a ride. Enjoy!

For the first time in decades, the Sakamaki mansion had miraculously reverted to a state of peace without disorder or chaos.

In the garden, the scent of freshly blossomed roses embeds itself in the air along with occasional clinks of porcelain. Six young ladies crowd around a stone table discreetly sipping cups of tea in silence. A large pile of neatly wrapped gifts surround them, many discarded, scrunched up balls of paper and ribbons adding to the pile along with a mound of opened envelopes resting in the centre of the table.

A long sigh shatters the tranquility, sourcing from a girl with long angel white hair, "Do we have to open all these presents?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't want to open them?" A cute purplette replies to her youngest sibling, tearing through the wrapping paper like an eager child on Christmas.

"It's our obligation to accept these gifts from our guests, especially considering they're attending the event." The older, ash-haired sister states, tossing another card into the pile.

"Some of this stuff..." Aya holds up a small piece of lacy red material with disgust, "I'm never going to use."

Laita snatches the item from her grasp and tucks it away with a suggestive smirk, "But I will~"

"How about we open this one next?" The eldest sister drops a large package onto the table amongst the mess.

Reika sluggishly flips over the tag, her eyes widening, "It's from mother."

The rest lean in with anticipation, poised in preparation to rip open the paper. Shae swats their hands away and passes Reika a signed card.

"Read this first."

She begins to read it aloud, "My beloved daughters, I am so delighted to have been invited to such a momentous occasion and cannot wait to see you after everything that has occurred. More so, I'm pleased that you have all found happiness and a burning love for yourselves that I could never seem to achieve despite my long life of immortality. Despite it being painful and sad, I look forward to seeing my beautiful girls all independent and grown up. Love, your mother...P.S. I'd like to see my present in use in the near future ;)."

The girls sit back in their seats, eyeing the present with curiosity and taking a moment to let her heartfelt words set in. Without another moment wasted, the girls rip open the package to reveal their present.

"What the..." They utter in shock, taking one each of the soft and nicely knitted material, looking at it oddly.

"Why the hell..." Sura holds up a small white onesie fit for an infant, "Did she give us these?"

"It's not even my size" Kana whines innocently.

The girls sweat drop at their sister's purity and ignorance, putting the baby onesies aside and ignoring the remaining products in the package for another time. 

The girls flinch in alert to the new encroaching presences pouring into the garden. A second later, they relax once the calming scents invade and soothe their senses. Six handsome men stroll down the cobblestone path in formal tuxedos, eyeing the mountain of unopened presents and the ever-growing pile of scraps and letters crowding the table.

"Well don't you look handsome."

The flirtatious fedora wearing triplet winks and giggles at the comment from his significant other, appearing by her side in a flash and nuzzling her passionately.

"How naughty of you, it's bad luck to see you all dressed up before the big day" Reika chastises her mate whilst straightening his black tie. The biting of her lip and the shine of her glossy pink eyes as she scans his outfit in approval do not go unnoticed, Reiji allowing himself a sly grin and a peck on her lips.

"Huh, I'd always thought I'd never catch you dead in a suit, and yet here we are" Aya teases the tomato boy looming above her who adjusts the vermillion tie that chokes him around the neck.

"You'd better be grateful, Melons. I'm going through this torture for you after all."

"I think the more exciting part will be seeing you in a dress for once" Subaru rests his arms around Sura's neck, to which a light pink dusts her cheeks.

"I guarantee you we'll be so stunning, you'll shed tears at the sight of us" Shae chimes.

Shu merely chuckles, gently grasping her left hand and bringing her knuckles to his lips, running them across the boney ridges and stopping before an obstruction on her fourth finger. Adorning her finger is a slim silver band twisted together to hold a single round sapphire that glitters when the light refracts through it.

Similarly, her sisters' very same fingers also bear a ring, although different in appearance with varying stones of amethyst, ruby, diamond, emerald, and onyx with other fancy additions. As they had stated when presenting their mates with the expensive and impressive jewels, it was a small price to pay in comparison to the love they have given them over the past few years.  

With contentment, the subtle aroma of now cold herbal tea, a pile of wrapped and unwrapped presents, there is nothing more they could ever want or need in this very moment than each other. Perhaps, if possible for a family of sadistic vampires, the peace will remain for just a little while longer. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this book with your awesome feedback, voting or constant reads just by staying tuned, but most of all for putting up with this book for so long, honestly, you guys are the best. So, this has been one hell of a ride and I'm sad yet pleased to say that this is officially the end of this book, and I mean...

THE END

So long fellow fangirls/fanboys, until we meet again in another book and Christmas wishes to you all this festive season!
