Another End

Duncan & Kaiden

(Him - Duncan)

Today is a great day! It’s a great day because we are organizing a party for my mommy and Meli let me help her! I can’t wait to see mommy and daddy. I miss them so much even if I have a great time with grandpa and uncle Dar. I heard grandpa said that daddy finally came to his senses. I hope so because I know how it’s painful for mommy that daddy doesn’t speak to her.

They are not my real parents but they love me as if I was their. I’m lucky to have them in my life. Mom tells me often how my biological parents loved me more than anything and how I made them happy but I don’t really remember them as I was 3 when they died. I don’t know either my real grandparents or family. Mom told me that my mother never knew her family and my father’s family never approved their mating. I wish I could have a cousin as I will never have a brother or sister. Auntie V is pregnant and I will have my first cousin in a few months but still, I wish I could have a cousin of my age. I saw Noah and his cousin Tom this morning. They didn’t even stay to play with me as they were having fun just the two of them. They were so close that made me feel jealous. I wish I could have that too...

“Bunny, let’s go home. We need to dress up for your mother.” Grandpa says.

“Yes! Let’s go.” I reply.

“Someone is eager to see his parents!” He says taking me in my arms.

Grandpa is really really strong but he is an Alpha so he has to be strong. He is also sweet as a teddy bear, with me at least. Uncle Dar said he’s sweet only with me and he can be really scary sometimes but I don’t believe him. My grandpa is the sweetest of the grandpas in the world!

I decided to wear mom’s favorite shirt (a blue on with a dinosaur) as I know it will make her happy.

“Wow, buddy! You look hot. Keep going like that in a few years, you will be able to get in any pants you want!” Uncle Dar tells me.

“Thanks! I think. What does that mean?” I ask.

“ It means your mother is going to kill him if she learned what he said.” Grandpa says slapping uncle Dar's head.

“Ouch! Dad!”

“You’re so dead if Lilly learned that!” Auntie V agrees with grandpa.

“Promise me you will not tell her. She is not cool. I’m sure your father would agree with me.”

“Darius!” Auntie V says slapping his shoulder in turn.

“Ouch! Poor me. Nobody’s understanding me in this family. Please don’t tell her or I will be mistreated again.” Uncle asks me with puppy’s eyes.

“Fine, I will not tell her but I still want to know what does that mean.” I tell him.

I still don’t know what does "blow job" means as nobody wants to explain it to me. Mom said it’s sexual and she will explain to me when I will be older. Sexual things are disgusting, I don’t know why adults loved it so much. Uncle Dar told me I will understand later but I don’t think so.

“Is it something sexual again?” I ask.

“Kind of.” Uncle Dar replies.

“Then it’s something disgusting for sure. I will never like it!” I say.

Uncle Dar laughs and says:” We will talk about that in a few years buddy! You will change your mind.”

“Never!”

This time Grandpa and V join Uncle Dar and they all laugh.

“Go dress Darius or we’re going to be late.” Auntie V orders him.

“Yes, my Luna.” He replies bowing his head.

~~~~~~~~

“Everybody is ready? Veronica, Bella, Darius, Gaspard.” Grandpa calls for everyone.

I’m so exciting! I can’t wait to see then both. Veronica and Darius are the last to arrive and auntie is not looking happy.

Grandpa sighs and asks: “What did he do this time?”

“He doesn’t want me to come!” She replies.

“It could be dangerous and in your state, you should rest and avoid any danger.” Uncle Dar says.

“I’m pregnant! This is not an illness! I’m not in glass and I can defend myself!” She says annoyed.

“Let her be son, she is right.”

“Still it’s too dangerous. What’s happened if someone attacked us.”

“With the most powerful witch and a Lycan? Not to forget all the other strong creatures.” Auntie V says sarcastically.

“My wolf and I are just worried for you and our baby, sweetie.”

“Well, my wolf and I are not sure we will not kill you before the end of the pregnancy if you keep worrying like that! I just want to enjoy my friends and the party.”

“It’s your hormones speaking.”

“Are you sure you want to test that theory?”

“Nope! Let’s go or we will be late. And don’t leave my side!”

“Go to hell!” She defies him.

We are here for 5 minutes now and they’re not there yet. What are they doing? I want to see them now!

“Patience bunny, I can smell them.” Grandpa says.

Few second and they will be here. As soon as Meli reveals us I run towards them.

“Mommy! Daddy!”

Dad kneels and opens his arms for me with a big smile on his face.

“I miss you so much, cowboy!” He says hugging me.

“Grandpa said you will be living with us all the time now. Is that true?” I ask.

“Yes, I don’t want to be without you. It’s too difficult.” Dad replies.

“I thought I was the guess of honor! Where is my hug?” Mom says putting.

With daddy, we share a look and say at the same time: “Lilly’s sandwich!”

“What you can't do Lilly’s sandwich without me!” Uncle Dar says coming hugging us.

“And I!” says Uncle Alec.

“Me too!” Grandpa adds.

In seconds we suffocated in a big group hug and I love that.

“Enough! I love her and even more when she is breathing.” Dad says.

He is joking, right?

As Dad leaves to speak with Grandpa and mom is speaking with Uncle Dar and Auntie V, Noah runs towards me with his cousin.

“Hey, Duncan, Tom and I want to play football. Do you want to join?” He asks me.

“Sure!” I love playing football.

~~~~~~~~

We have a lot of fun playing altogether. There are Hadrian and Elios - Constantinos’s sons, Patrick - Rose’s little brother, Nicolaï and Macha - prince Léopold’s son and daughter, who are playing with us. The older one is Patrick who is 10 and the younger one is Noah who is 4.

I see mommy and daddy coming towards us with people I’ve never seen before.

“Bunny, can we speak to you?” Mom asks.

I nod and walk towards them and the strangers.

“We have some people to introduce to you.” dad adds.

“I’ve already explained to you about my biological family and as I have a brother. Well, his family and he really want to meet you.”

“But uncle Dar said he’s an asshole.” I whisper only for them.

Dad starts to laugh but stop when mom glares at him.

“I’m going to kill him!” She mutters.

Dad says: “ Everybody can change so give them a chance to prove them. A real one because I know how you are with people who were mean with mommy.”

“You can speak!” Mom snorts.

“You’re not helping!” Dad says.

“ Sorry. He is right I need you to play nice with them. Okay?”

“Okay.”

“Perfect.” She says.

She sighs and adds:” Duncan this is Aiden, his mate Elena and their son, Kaiden.”

“Hey Duncan, it’s nice to finally meet you. I heard so much about you. I know I mess up with your mother but I really want to fix it and I hope one day you will call me uncle.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir.” I say shyly.

“Hi Duncan, I’m your aunt Elena. It’s so nice to meet you. This our son Kaiden and we have a daughter Julia but she stayed with her grandparents. I hope-“

“Hi, I’m your cousin Kaiden. Sorry mom, but you were too long. For sure we will be great friends!”

“Hi, your name is almost the same as your father.”

“I know dad wanted to call me AJ for Aiden Junior but mom refused. So they called me Kaiden instead to compromise.”

“Your mom is so cool! You’re lucky!” He adds.

“Kaiden! What are you doing here?” Tom says before hugging him.

“I came to meet my cousin.”

“Cool, I met mine too and he is great. Is that true your mom knows sirens?” Tom asks me.

“Yes, most of them are nice.”

“Awesome!!!” Tom and Kaiden say at the same time.

“Your daddy and your grandparents are here if you want to see them.” Kaiden tells him.

“Cool! Let’s go!” Tom says to Noah.

“So how old are you?” I ask him.

“ I’m 5. I turned 2 weeks ago. And you?”

“I’m 7. I will be 8 in 6 months.”

“Cool! Do you have other cousins?”

“Not yet and you?”

“I have 4 cousins but none as are cool as you!”

“Thank you. Do you want to play football before we start eating?”

“Great, I love football!”

“Me too!”

Kaiden is really cool. I’m so happy to have a cousin. We have a lot in common: the same favorite color, the same favorite team, after football our favorite sport is basketball. He hates broccoli and thinks that should be forbidden and he is so right. It tastes awful!

I told him I was a shifter and not a werewolf and he found it super cool that I can shift in anything I want. He wanted me to show him but I didn’t because mommy doesn’t like it when I shift in front of everyone so I will show him next time. When I told me that my auntie Alix can shift in dinosaurs and that I wish I could too, he was impressed and told me I have the coolest family in the world. I didn’t tell him about my healing gift because mommy and Daddy told me to be careful with who I share my secret.

“Kaiden, we have to go home.” Elena calls after him.

“What’s? Already but you arrive only a few minutes ago.” I protest.

“Actually it has been almost 5 hours. It’s time to go bed little wolf.”

“But mommy I want to stay with Duncan.” Kaiden says putting.

“Maybe another time and we have to ask his parents but I don’t know where they are. They disappeared.” Aiden says.

“They are here!” I say when I see them reappear.

I run towards them and I hear Kaiden following me.

“Mommy, daddy! Can Kaiden stay with me, please?”

“Pretty please auntie Lilly and Uncle Tony, please with a cherry on top.” Kaiden begs them.

“Yes, please with a cherry on the top.” I beg too.

“Sorry Cowboy but it’s not a good time.” Dad says.

“Fine.” I say defeat and feeling sad.

“What about next weekend? He can come to sleep at home.” Aiden says.

Yes!

“Please mommy! Please daddy!” I beg.

“Fine, you can.” Mom says.

“Yes!” Kaiden and I say at the same time.

“Fine but it’s Kaiden who is coming to sleep at home. I miss you too much to spend another night without you.” Daddy says.

“I don’t have any objections about that.” Aiden says.

“Thank you!” I tell them.

I’m happy that it’s Kaiden who is coming as I miss my parents a lot. I will also show him my room!

After saying goodbye to them, I stay with mommy and daddy. I feeling tired and I want to stay with them.

“You look happy bunny.” Mom says smiling at me.

“I am! It’s awesome to have a cousin to play with. He is super cool and as I will not have a brother or sister, I’m happy to have him.”

“About that... We need to talk privately with you.” Dad says.

“What’s going on?” I ask once we are isolated.

“We have two things to tell you.” Mom says.

“There is a bad one and a good one and I have to choose by which one I want to start?”

They both laugh.

“No cowboy, it’s only good news.” Dad says.

“So what is it?” I ask slapping my hands with impatience.

“First thing, I’m sorry it took me so long but it’s finally done. You’re officially my son!” Dad says.

“Really?” I ask with happy tears in my eyes.

“Yes, bunny!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I say hugging them.

“Yes, Cowboy you’re a White now!”

“No, he’s not. He stays a Keystone like me.” Mom protests.

“What? No! What about our daughter? Will she be a Keystone too?” Dad asks.

“Anton! You spilled the bean! Of course, she will. She could a Keystone-White if you want.” Mommy adds when she sees daddy putting.

“I disagree! My daughter my name!” Dad says.

“In your dream!” Mom sasses.

“Wait. I’m going to be a big brother?” I ask, incredulous.

“Yes, Bunny you will in a few months.” Mom says smiling.

“Wow! This is the best party ever!” I say crying in happiness.
