The Grateful Rejection
Chapter 32

~~orned YEARS LATER~ ~~~

He stifled his laugh when he saw her, "Why are you crying baby?" He cooed at her as the camerapointed towards the crying woman, "Because I love gelato!" She wailed stuffing her mouth withspoonful chocolate gelato.

"But why are you crying?" Sebastain asked sitting infront of her.

"B-because the gelato is almost finished and I can't stop eating it! I want more! The baby wantsmore" Nora wailed again stuffing her mouth with a spoonful of gelato.

Sebastian cracked a laughed making her give him a death glare. She hit his head with the spoon,"What are you laughing at? You got me pregnant! Now I can't stop eating gelato!" She sniffled.

"Oh baby I laughed because you look cute!" He cooed at her. She looked at him with hercaptivating blue-grey eyes with chocolate sneered all around her mouth, "Really? You think I amcute?” She started to tear up, "I thought I looked ugly" she pouted her pink lips.

"Nooo! You're anything but ugly, moya malen“kaya al'fa. Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina v mire!"He said love bound in his native tongue (You're the most beautiful woman in the world!)

"Je ne comprenais pas la merde tu as dit mais tu es si sexy!"(I didn't understand shit you said butyou're so sexy!) She purred at her fiance making him smirk, "Vy ocharovatel'ny, zhena" ( You'readorable, wife) he kissed her nose.

She put her face up for him to kiss her, "No baby, do you want our son to see is kissing?" He saidlooking at the camera he was still holding. She pouted, "How long are you going to film us?"

"As long as I want to" he said kissing his fiancee's shoulder.

"Oh now our son won't look" she snorted as he kept on kissing her neck, "Yeah, he doesn't need tosee anything now he said making Nora giggle as the video went off.

He rewind the video and paused at her eating her favourite dessert, a tear spilled out of his eyeslooking at the old recordings. He poured himself another drink and gulped it down at once. Helongingly looked at his wife's face, he wanted nothing more to see her face, feel her warm skinunderneath his finger tips, smell her sweet honey smell but that was far from being real.

He threw his head back as tears kept coming out of his eyes, "I shouldn't have left you even for asecond" he whimpered to himself remember that unfaithful day. A sob left his mouth rememberinghow everything had happened just before his eyes and he was too helpless to even help her. Whatifs had clouded his mind for years, "I wish I could have saved you" another sob followed as he tookanother shot of the drink.

The dark room was just like his heart, dark and empty. The only light was from the projector thatdisplayed Nora's lovely face.

"You're still the most beautiful woman in the world, moya malen’kaya zhena" (my little wife) hesobbed, "I miss you so much" he cried looking at Nora's picture. For years he had searched ways tobring back Nora, even though people said she was dead. How can she be? They marked each other,if she's dead, he is dead too.

But he is not. Nora is alive he knows it. The only thing that has kept him and his lycan from goinginsane is their son, Hunter. Their little boy is growing up so fast, everyday he sees a glimpse of Norain him. Hunter's one blue-grey eye reminds Sebastain of his wife and that's all keeping away hisinsanity.

He heard his door open and soft sniffles, “Daddy?” A timid voice came from the door step.Sebastain hastily put his drink away and went to his son, "Yes my prince! What's wrong?" He askedpicking up his four year old son who was rubbing his eyes with a sad frown on his cute little face, "Ihad a nightmare” he said putting his face in his father's neck, "I am scared daddy" he whisperedsoftly clinging onto his father.

"Do you wanna sleep with daddy today?" He asked the rhetorical question, baby hunter justhummed sniffing his father's neck. Sebastain put him down on his bed and tucked him in, he wentto the other side and layed with him. Hunter looked curiously at his mother's picture, "Daddy?" Heasked softly, "Yes my prince?" He cooed his son who was intently looking at the his mother face onthe wall.

"Is mommy eating poo poo?" He asked innocently making Sebastain chuckle, "No my prince, yourmommy is eating her favourite dessert. Chocolate gelato!" He exclaimed, Hunter's face brightenedand his eyes went wide in surprise, "Mommy likes the same dessert as me?" He sat up with a hugesmile in his face.

"Yes, the two of you have similar taste” Sebastain said looking at his son who looked at his motherin awe, "I have eye like mommy and now I also have her taste? Am I like mommy, daddy?" He askedlooking at his father, "Indeed you're like your mommy" he said pulling his son on his arms andplaying with his hair.

"Daddy.. when will mommy come back from her trip?" He asked yawning as his father did the magictrick if playing with his hair. Sebastain's heart stopped beating and his lycan howled in grief. A sobwanted to break lose from his mouth but he contained it, "Soon my prince. Soon.” He hated lying tohis son. But he knew better, he wasn't lying to his son but himself. He wanted Nora to still live insomeone and that someone is their son.

"Daddy?" Hunter yawned with his eyes half open. Sebastain hummed in response, "Don't let hertake me from you" he mumbled incoherently, "She hurt me like mommy" he said and fell asleep. Hisfather looked at his son sleeping peacefully, "Sleep well my prince. I will never let anything harmyou, not ever!" He pecked his forehead and enveloped him in his arms, "I will always protect you myprince” he said as he starts to fall into darkness himself.

Nora stood by the bed looking at her husband and son, "Nobody is ever gonna hurt either of you"she whispered giving flying kiss to the two most precious men in her life. She hung her head low indisgrace, she had been infront of their eyes for years but still nobody could hear her, feel her or seeher. Arora was right, this is the worst punishment, even worst than dead. For years she has beenseeing her husband struggle with everything, break down every night, cry and beg for her to comeback, blame himself for what had happened but she couldn't do anything but cry with him. The onlything that keeps him happy is their son. Oh what an amazing boy he is turning to be, so active andfull of life. Sebastain is raising him right, maybe better than she would have. But even then, she cansee her boy need his mother, "I am so sorry for not being there for you my prince” he looked at thesleeping angel in her husband's arms.

Arora tossed and turned in her bed wide awake, "You ain't asleep?" Henry asked groggily rubbinghis eyes. Arora looked at her husband with a small smile, "I don't feel sleepy. You go to sleep” shesaid collecting him in her arms as he rested his head comfortably on his wife's chest, “Tomorrow is30th of March” he mumbled and looked up to his wife with forced a smile but had tears in her eyes,"I just miss them" she sniffed as a lone tear slipped out of her eye. Henry let out a sigh and got upfrom her embrace. He took both of her hands and wrapped it around his torso, hugging her, "I thinkwherever they are, they are very sad" he said making her look at him baffled, "They don't want theirdaughter to be sad, not amymore. You have been through a lot as it is, just let the bad memories goaway and keep the good ones" he rocked her softly. She hummed in reply, "I try but I don't knowthere is this weight in me. Holding me back from all of that, I can't understand" she said.

"You sure you're not pregnant?" Henry joked making her slap his chest playfully, "No, you idiot" shechuckled and took a deep breath, "Thank you for everything..” she trailed off as he started to humma lullaby. Before she knows it she is fast asleep, Henry looked at his wife, "It's not your parent'sdeath keeping you awake, it's the guilt of ruining your sister's life." He had stopped saying thismany times but he knew better. For she not only killed her sister but Sebastain leaving Hunter witha shell of a father.

Sebastain woke up to the birds chirping. He groaned and looked at the clock, it showed 9.30 am.He remembered what day today is and didn't feel like getting up from the bed but the soft snoringof his son made him get up. He went to the bathroom and came out all showered up, only to seehis son still fast asleep like a star fish. He chuckled and sat next to Hunter, "Hey sleepy head"Sebastain rubbed his son's hair making him stir, "Wake up my prince. I have a royal breakfast foryou" he said in a baby voice. Hunter opened his eyes groggily, "Food?" He asked softly stillincoherent of his senses.

"Yes food!" Sebastain let out a laugh, "Like mother like son" he muttered to himself, "Come onprince Hunter! Don't you wanna see dragons fly?" He said making a smile appear on Hunter's faceand nod, "Yes daddy" he answered back stretching and yawning on the bed, "So go now brush yourteeth. I'll have your breakfast ready" Sebastain sat up Hunter who was still rubbing his eyes, "ButDaddy! How doesn't brushing my teeth has to do with seeing dragons?” He asked.

Sebastain was speechless for a second, "Uh.. umm.. dragons don't. like bad breath?" He said withfurrowed brows. Hunter pouted, "I thought dragons breath fire so all the smell burns off" he saidjumping off the bed and heading to the washroom.

Sebastain cursed under his breath and went downstairs, that boy is too smart for his age, he said tohimself. After what had happened four years ago, he couldn't bear to live with his pack where hesees his wife's traitors everyday more over he felt empty without her. She was a part of him andloosing a part of your soul can drive anyone insane, who was Sebastain to fight that? He thendecided to move to Italy where he had bought a home for the three of them

He flipped Hunter's favourite savoury waffles on his star wars plate with two sausages. Hunter cameskipping down the stairway, "Daddy! Can we go out to play today?" He jumped on his chair andshoving food in his mouth.

"Slow down there, Prince. You don't wanna choke one the food!" Sebastain came by his side apushed a glass of apple juice.

Hunter gulped it down and looked at father with a goofy smile, "Sorry" he said and resumed eating.Sebastain pulled the plated for himself and sat beside his son, "Daddy can I play with your lycan?"He asked his father. Sebastain nodded his head, "Yes, prince Hunter" Sebastain winked at his sonwho cheered happily then choked on his food, "How many times have I told you not to talk withfood in your mouth” Sebastain scolded softly patting Hunter's back.

The Huntsons siblings walked through the woods early in the morning. Each step they took closermade them feel how much far away “they’ have gone, and no matter even if they are near theirparents.. they are still too far away.

After walking for another 10 mins they finally reached their parents’ graveyard. As soon as Arianawas before the gate, she broke down crying. Arora collected her in her arms as she too silently criedremembering their pale faces. Stephan was already swallowing his sobs trying to remain calm butthe shaking of his body gave away that he was anything but calm. As the eldest of the family Jacoband Andrew tried to be tough but the thought of their parents grave had them breaking down ontheir knees.

With shaky legs they stood on the foot of the sarcophagus, both the sisters layed beside it, huggingtheir parents. Stephan put his head on his father's foot stone remembering the old days when thetwo used to have their bonding time. Jacob sat near his mother's head stone looking at thesculpture of her mother's face, she is finally resting, he chanted to himself before he broke downcrying again. Andrew beside Stephan who looked at peace being near their parents.

Aurelia and Earl had been buried together in the sacred forest of Sorcery where noble witches,sorcerers and sorceress were buried. Like the tradition has it, they are buried beneath thesarcophagus of themselves. It was a beautiful sculpture of them, each and every detail of their faces,hands and feet were beautifully shows. The two of them were buried in the same casket as they hadalways wished for and thier sarcophagus were made in one big block of stone.

Hours passed by as the siblings stayed with their parents, feeling closer to them. Laying beside theirparents they felt with a year old child again. All the pain, anguish and all the self hatred they had forthemselves went away in a snap. With their parents they were at peace.

People usually say losing their significant other or child is most painful but they have never guessedthe pain they felt of losing both their parents. It had felt like their very soul was buring and hell waspraying for their suffering to end.

Atleast every month the siblings come here to spend time with their parents, they also spend amonth in their parents home as mom would always have wanted for them. To be together, as one.The Huntsons brothers took Nora's disappearance hard, Stephan was the one closest to Nora andhe knew well that Nora would never kill their mother. Even if she is in the worst case scenario, she'lldie herself than to think about any harm to their mother. The three of them were reallydisappointed with the two sister's act, they had been searching for Nora's statue ever since they gotto know their sister's betrayal. But that was all in vain, Arora had casted a spell on herself and Arianamaking them forget the place where Nora's statue was thrown. For all they knew, it could have beencorroded down to dust.

As it is the three brothers had lost both their parents and their youngest sister, they couldn't affordto lose their sisters as well. Stephan still has some of Nora's belongings, all the stupid perfumes sheused that made his nose twitch to all the type of whisks that she used. Stephan still eats all thecandies they used to have late at night hiding from their siblings, they were the best duo to say theleast. While Andrew and Jacob have the rest of her belongings that the two sisters had thrown outof their apartment years back. Through the three live in different houses, there is one room in eachhouse that has Nora's stuff, a way of remembering her.

It was almost Sun down when they decided to head back to their car. They walked reached their carin a few minutes of walking. They sat on the hood of the car for a while before they drive down totheir houses. They all were lost in their thought to notice a figure coming their way.

"Huntsons?" A screechy voice said snapping them off of their trance. A redheaded woman appearedfrom the other side of the road on a wheelchair. Stephan jumped off the car and narrowed his eyesat her, "Who are you?" He asked.

A smile formed on her lips, that's what she asked first as well, she chuckled internally.

"I mean no harm.. I just need your help.. just as much you need me" she said choosing her wordscorrectly.

"Did you run away from a psychiatric hospital, lady?" Jacob rolled his eyes at Andrew's comment."Nora didn't kill them" she blurted out. All of them looked shocked at the woman, before anyonecould react Stephan had her hanging in the air by her throat, "What did you do?" Stephan growledlowly, all his dark energy came forth, turning the entire place dark.

The redhead dandled off in the air as she tried to move her legs but that was all in vein, "TELL ME!"He shouted furiously at her.

"N--ora is inno-cent. S-She was fram-ed!" she gasped out in between her breath as she kept onstruggling to breath. Jacob looked furious at her as tears clouded in his eyes, he opened a portaland they landed in Jacob's basement.

"Tell me what did you do before I torture you untill you die” Andrew growled at her petrified face."If you kill me, you wouldn't know shit. I told you I need your help just as much as you need me" shegasped out when Stephan had dropped her on the floor.

"How do you know this?" Ariana finally said looking at her with maliciously, "For all we know youcould be a hoax!" She added looking at the redhead.

"Because I am the last one inflected with her venom" she said raising her shirt that showed a biggush of claw mark that was rotten. Arora gasped in horror stepping away from her, "It's Nora'smark" she whispered.

"What did you do want?" Stephan finally asked.

"I want her venom! I know only her venom can cure me." She said looking down on the ground."Tell us who did this!" Arora whispered maniacally as her lycan came forward.

"Before that I need you blood oath that you will not harm me in anyway after I tell you the truth”she added.

"You have our word, we won't do anytime to you. Just tell us the truth” Jacob said looking at herwith a cold face.

"Your words ain't enough, I want an oath that you won't be the one to pull the trigger” she saidnarrowing her eyes.

"Fine! What's your name?" Ariana said and pulled out a knife from thin air, "Danya Fishee" herreplied came. Ariana walked towards her and squatted in front of her, "I, Ariana Huntsons daughterof Earl and Aurelia Huntsons hereby oath to not kill Danya Fishee and not let my sibling do thesame. If you truthfully tell us what happened to our sister, Nora Huntsons-Hounds and who wasinvolved in the conspiracy against her.” she said cuting her palms and pulling Danya's palm andcutting it too. She clasped their hands together and a white light appeared when their cutsconnected to each other. Danya took a breath of relief after the oath but that was not long enoughas Ariana flickered her wrist and Danya fell on the ground fast asleep.

"Bring Sebastain” Jacob whispered to Stephan who nodded his head. A mumbled a spell and aportal opened showing Sebastian's lycan playing with his son. A dead weight set on both the sisters’heart looking at young Hunter, they stole a mother from son. They still had a mother to begin withwith whom they spent hundreds of years but this little boy didn't even know what a mother's lovefeels like. And that all because they didn't listen, they did this all.. to their own sister.

"Sebastain!" Andrew called out to the lycan playing in wild. Sebastain stiffened and turned aroundbaring his teeth at the threats. When he saw its Stephan and the twins he relaxed a bit, "UNCLEPEN!" Hunter ran towards his uncle and jumped on Stephan's arms, "It's been so long uncle pen!"He snuggled more into his uncle's arms. Being close to hunter made Stephan close to Nora, hewrapped his arms around the little man's body and hugged him tightly, "I missed you too Hunter!"He said kissing his forehead.

"Not the time Stephan! Take him upstairs" Jacob said looking at the uncle and nephew duo. Stephannodded his head and carried him upstairs, "Uncle Jacob has bought new legos for you!" Stephanwhispered in Hunter's ears making his attention divert from the woman laying on the ground.Hunter's eyes twinkled, "New legos?" He said looking straight ahead.

"Take me to the legos treasure, warrior!” Hunter shouted making Stephan laugh, "As you wish, yourhighness!" Stephan ran across the house where Jacob had a room for kids and had stocked up legoscollection specially for Hunter.

As soon as his son went out of the basement, Sebastain entred through the portal and changedback to his human form, "What's the meaning of this?" He asked Jacob ignoring the two “sisters’ ofhis wife.

"There is something you should know!" Andrew said.

Sebastain tried to retaliate but Ariana stopped him, "Nora was framed" she silently whispered.Sebastain rolled his eyes, "I know she was. She told me that day she wasn't feeling well. And I toldyou.." he spat maniacally walking towards Ariana, "I told you a million times that she was innocent!But you didn't listen! You didn't believe that your own sister who loved her parents more thananything in the world would kill them." He growled.

"I am sorry" she whispered making Sebastain scoff, "Take your sorry and shove it up your ass!" Hesaid and turned towards Jacob, "Who is she?" He asked looking at the redhead.

"She is the one who says Nora is innocent. I think she had something to do with it. She has Nora'sclaw marks on her abdomen." Jacob explained looking at Danya.

"Where did they put Nora's sta--" Sebastain was interrupted by Andrew, "They casted a spell oneach other making them forget whe--"

"She is in dad's basement" Arora said not looking at them.

Jacob looked mad, "When we asked you why did you lie then?" He snapped at her.

"Because we thought that she killed them!" She shouted breaking down.

"You can never understand what a daugh--"

"Oh my god shut up! Nobody wants to hear about your pity party! Just bring her in" Sebastainsnapped at her. Jacob had to agree with Sebastain it wasn't the time for self pity. They had to bringNora. Has has been gone for too long now, it's time she comes back.

Andrew opened a portal to their parents’ basement. Arora went inside the basement and mumbleda spell and just like that Nora's statue that had been missing for four years now is in front of them.Arora couldn't bear to look at Nora. Sebastain in a speed of light went inside the portal and boughtthe statue.

His eyes couldn't believe that Nora was finally here.

"Undo it!" Jacob said to his two sisters who nodded with a shameful look on their faces.

They began mumbling the reverse spell that turned Nora into a block of stone.

All this while Sebastain looked at Nora's horrified face. Sebastain wasn't in his senses when that allhappened years ago. Now that she is here, he could see the pain, both physical and mental. Hereyes held horror and her mouth was open in shock. She had her one hand outreached as if trying tostop her sisters. There was a stray tear that had slipped out of her eyes at that time as the drop itselfturned into stone. The pain she went through was unimaginable, Sebastain grasped her head andlayed his lips on hers, “I am sorry for not saving you!" He cried and kissing her lips repeatedly.

A cracking sound was heard throughout the basement, Sebastain curiously looked at the statue ascracks began to form on the statue. A white light appeared from each crack as Ariana and Arorakept on mumbling the spell.

The statue began shaking furiously for a few seconds then it came to a halt, suddenly the statuebusted as the stones went flying all around the basement. The white light blinded everyone in theroom, forcing them to cover their eyes.

A gasp came from the light followed by a thump noise, the light disappeared.

Nora layed on the floor her eyes half open. She groggily looked at only one person, "Sebastain" shewhispered with a smile and fell on the unconscious.

Sebastain hurried to her side and collected her in his arms. He rocked her crying softly, he kissed allover her soft face, "I am never letting you out of my sight again!" He said kissing her lips. His lycanhowled in joy finally being able to touch his Erastis, see her, smell her, feel her. She was back. Norawas finally back.

His lycan started jumping around when he felt Nora's lycan with him. The two of the lycan jumpedon each other, licking each other's face. His lycan held her lycan close and growled madly in lovewith her.

Sebastain picked her sleeping Erastis in his arms, "Wait till I get back" Sebastain said without lookingup from Nora. He carried her upstairs, he followed the smell of their son without looking away fromNora's peaceful face.

Sebastain kicked open the door where Hunter was playing, "Look Hunter! Mommy is back” hepurred at Nora.

A big smile pasted on Hunter's face, "MOMMMYYYY!!l" She shouted in excitement.

Stephan released a breath of relief looking at his sister, he walked towards her slowly.

Sebastain let out a warning grow! at the man trying to come close to his Erastis. His lycan was incontrol, he didn't acknowledge who was a friend or foe of her Erastis. He didn't want anyone closeto his Erastis other than their son.

Stephan backed off with his hands raised, "I am Nora's brother" he said. The lycan let out a gruntand walked off the room to the room opposite to it.

He layed Nora on the soft mattress and pulled a quilt on her, he switched on the AC, "Take care ofmommy till I come back. Don't let anyone.. ANYONE come near mommy!" Sebastain said tuckingtheir son beside her mother.

Hunter was in complete awe of his mother, "Mommy is so butiful, Daddy." He said looking at hismother. He poked her cheeks and when it bounced back he let out a giggle, "Mommy soft soft" hesaid and layed his head on his mother's shoulder. Sebastain smiled at the two and went out of theroom locking them from outside.

He looked at Stephan with raging neon blue eyes, "Let's get this over.” He said and went downstairsin the basement where Danya was sitting by the wall, rubbing her eyes, "What happened?" Sheasked in confusion.

"You fell unconscious" Ariana rolled her eyes lying through her teeth.

"Now tell us! Who did this?" Stephan warned her.

She nodded her head, "She came to me saying that she needed help. She was depressed and crying.She said that.. that woman is trying to steal away what's her's" she said with a furrowed brows.

"She said that Nora killed her mother.. and she wants to take vengeance not by killing her.. no! Butmaking her killing her own mother.

That night, when Nora was showering I came there.” She gulped looking at the furious faces ofeveryone in the room. She hung her head taking a deep breath, "I released a Trinfl, that made herhallucinate but being a lycan it wasn't enough. She had mixed a heavy dose of Oxerana toeveryone's drink but since they hadn't inhaled the gas Trinfl they weren't effected.. it was just Nora"she concluded.

A series of gasp was hear in the room. Trinfl was not something to mess with, it is used to weakeneven the strongest of werewolves to a point they would be nothing but mere walking flesh. Silverand wolfsbane is not nearly as dangerous as Trinfl. But being a lycan, it only haywire with one'sbrain.

Oxerana works like a fire to gunpowder with Trinfl. Oxerana is a type of drug made to sedate highersupernaturals, like lycan, weretiger, werelions, dragons etc. But that is only when it is mixed withTrinfl, alone it will just be like.. 98% alcohol, strong and easily manipulated. It is not usually found, itgrows for a week once in a century and that is enough to last a century.

"She asked you and you just walked right into the plan?" Andrew growled at her making her flinch,"No.. I didn't want to do to at first but promised me great riches and a position in the witch'scouncil." she said not looking up.

"Who was she?" Sebastain asked.

"She was a lycan herself. " she said making everyone confused.

"Who?" Ariana asked dreading the answer.. for she suspected one too.

"Kristen, the half lycan" she whispered.

Sebastain's world went blank in an instant. His heart stopped beating for a second, a buzzing soundwas ringing in his head. He couldn't hear or feel anything. It's was just all blank, "Bring Kristen"Sebastain whispered looking down in the ground.

Ariana closed her eyes, she knew it. She felt it the moment she met Kristen, her foul energy hadclogged her throat. But she brushed it off when Nora told her how close she was to her mother andstill grieves of her death.

Arora in an instant opened a portal to Kristen's bedroom where she was sleeping peacefully. Arorawent inside and gripped her hair yanking her off the bed and into Jacob's basement. Kristen was soshocked that sue couldn't mutter a single word. She looked at the raging Arora, "What the hellArora?!l Why would you do that!" She snapped at her.

"Does killing our mother enough to justify?" Jacob growled at her. Kristen's eyes went wide, "Wh-what?" She stuttered, her eyes then snapped towards Danya who was glaring daggers at her. She bither lips, "Wh-what are you talking about? How can I kill yo-your mother? It was Nora! Don't youguys remember?" She let out a nervous laugh.

"We shall see it for ourselves!" Stephan said and gripped the top of her head. Her head fell back asall the people in the room were is in her memory.

They were shocked to see her stalking Nora way before the two met. She cursed at Nora, hated herguts. She couldn't meet her eyes knowing fully well she'll want to kill Nora.

Sebastain was silently watching all of this, from meeting with witch to meeting with Justin andtaking down Nora to forcing Nora's biological mother to set her restaurant on fire to everythingthat happened that night. A sly smirk was pasted on her lips when Nora was being turned into astatue.

Stephan pulled back his hand in hatred, "Touching you is a sin!" He spat in hatred as she dizzily saton the ground.

"Why did you do this, Kristen? Why?" Sebastain asked looking at her in confusion. A snarl pasted onKristen's face, "Why? WHY? You ask me why???" She shouted at her father standing up.

"It was all because of that bitch that you let my mother die!” She shouted crying.

"YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER! BUT NO! YOU ONLY WANTED TO MARK YOUR FUCKING ERASTIS! IWANTED TO KILL HER THE DAY SHE MET YOU" She spat in hatred.

"You have no idea how much I wanted to see her dead, writhing in pain.. just like MY mother did!"She broke down crying.

"In one place it was me without a mother and an absent father and in another place was that bitchwho had it all! Including my father! MY OWN FUCKING FATHER!" She shouted making Sebastianshake in fury, he went to her and slapped her hard making her hit the wall that was a feet away fromher.

"IT WAS YOUR MOTHER'S CHOICE THAT SHE DIED! I DIDN'T FORCE HER TO DIE! I DIDN'T FORCEHER TO AGE! SHE KNEW EVERYTHING BEFORE SHE MARRIED ME! IT WAS HER CHOICE!

AND YOU'RE CALLING ME A ABSENT FATHER? I BABBIED YOU TILL YOU WERE 170 YEARS OLD! IHAND FED YOU TILL THAT TIME, I TOOK YOU EVERYWHERE YOU WANTED TO GO! I GAVE YOUEVERYTHING! WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO???" Sebastain shouted at her. All his angercoming out of his eyes in the form of tears.

"I WANT YOU TO PUT ME FIRST FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY!" she shouted

"Ever since she came to your life you have forgotten about me! Before her.. I was your priority andnow I am not. And after all of that you decide to have a child with her? A FUCKING BASTARD THATBOY IS!" She spat venomously.

"KRISTEN! WATCH HOW YOU SPEAK OF MY SON!" Sebastain's yelled at her shaking in fury.

"See! You're telling at your own daughter for that bastard! I'll kill him! I KILL THAY SON OF A BITCH!"She yelled pulling her hair as she ran out of the basement. Sebastain followed her as she went toHunter's direction. Sebastain knew what he had to do but he and his lycan didn't wanted to do this.She is after all his daughter, his first born. The child is merely misguided.. but she was all far gonenow. Nothing can stop her.. apart from her father.

Kristen burst open the door where Nora and her son slept peacefully, she was horrified to see Noraback, "You brought her back?? Fine! I'll kill her even if it means you'll die too. I have always been amumma's girl anyway" a tear fell from her eyes as she looked at her father for the last time.

The Huntsons ran behind Sebastain, Arora was about to interrupt that maniac when Jacob stoppedher, "It's his fight now." He said.

"Don't do this Kristen.. don't make me do this" Sebastain whispered with a weight in his heart.Kristen scoffed and ran towards Hunter with her hand raised.

Blood filled her mouth as it dripped down her chin. Her body fell sideways as a cracking sound washeard throughout the house. Sebastain pulled out the rest of her spine as Kristen fell on the grounddead.

Sebastain fell on his knees collecting his daughter in his arms as he cried, "Why did you do thisKristen?? WHY??" He cried rocking her. He kissed his daughters cheeks, "My beautiful daughter!” Helooked at her. Her eyes were wide open but they held no life in them, her skin started becomingcold as he held her close. Stephan picked up a stiring Hunter in his arms and took him out of theroom. The boy is too young to see death.

The night was calm peaceful after so long, there was no sound apart from the winds that brushedpassed through the nooks and corners of the tree's branches.

A gasp left her mouth as she sat awake on the bed, Sebastian woke up next to her, "Nora" he saidwith a sad smile. Nora looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Sebastain!" She whispered cupping hisface. She smashed her lips to his, feeling the soft contours of his lips after years. They cried in thekiss as Sebastain pulled her on his laps and hugged her tightly as the two cried happily in eachother's arms.

"I missed you so much, love!" He cried kissing her face, she let out a series of giggles that meltedSebastain's heart. He started tickling her more as her giggles turned into full blown laughter, herlaugh was like the music of heaven to his ears.

"I missed you too!" She said kissing his nose, "I missed you so much!" She said looking into hiswarm brown eyes that twinkled with love.

The door to their bedroom opened, "MOMMMYYYY!!I" Hunter screeched jumping on bed tracklinghis mother in a big hug, "Where did you go mommy?? You know how much I missed you??" Hepouted wrapping his legs on her waist and his arms around her neck.

Nora wrapped her arms around her little angel, content finally filled her soul, "I was on a trip babyas daddy told you.. I am sorry for being gone so long! I promise I won't ever leave you my prince!"She said kissing his face.

Sebastain furrowed his brows looking at her. She sadly looked at Sebastain as their son washugging his mother, "I was always here baby. I could see you, hear you but you couldn't" sheexplained with a small smile, "I was always with you" she said making tears appear in Sebastian'seyes.

"Now you're not leaving me, na?" Hunter asked pulling back from the hug looking at his motherwith his beautiful brown and blue grey eyes.

"No my prince! I am never leaving you.. ever!" She said making a smile appear on Hunter's face, "Ilove you Mommy!" He said hugging his mother again.

"I love you too baby!" She replied with a smile. Her heart filled with adoration, she was finally ableto say that to him.

"What about me?" Sebastain butted in with a pout. Hunter pulled his father in a hug, "I love you toodaddy!" He giggled

"I love you too my prince" he replied with a smile.

"Mommy can I sleep with you tonight?" Hunter asked his mother.

"Of course my prince?" She replied putting him in between the two.

After a minute of silence a Hunter opened his mouth, "Mommy do you know, daddy always smellswerid at night but today he is not smelling weird" he said making the two chuckle, of course he isnot drinking today. Hunter kept on talking to his mother for almost an hour, neither Nora orSebastain had the heart to stop him from talking to his mother. After taking so long Hunter fellasleep, "Finally!" Sebastain breathed out in relief making Nora hit his shoulder playfully.

He took her hand in his and kissed the back of her hand, "I love you, wifey" he said looking at hiswife. Nora blushed at his comment, "I love you too puppy!" She giggled out. He growled playfully athis old nickname, "Come here mommy!" He pulled her on him, "Hunter is here" she scolded him asSebastain pushed Hunter in Nora's place and pulled Nora in the middle, "I want mommy too" hecopied Hunter's voice making her giggle. He spooned his wife who spoon their son, "Thank you somuch for everything, moya malen'kaya zhena" he yawned sniffing her calming honey and babypowder smell.

"Thank you for everything, ma brute de mari" (my brute of a husband) she said as his refreshing rainon soil with a hint of musk.

"I love you, Nora" he said falling asleep.

"I love you too, Sebastain!" She too fell asleep in her Erastis, her husband's arms. They were at peaceat last.
