Fated is overrated

"Kay, Kelly, slow down!!" I yell across the field at my little rascals, who are roughhousing with their little cousin (who is an equal rascal, don't get me wrong). "You know, I should have known that with your genes they would turn out to be total firecrackers. Especially our little princess"

Zane laughs, while pulling me to him by my waist and kissing the top of my head. I turn my head towards him and plant a kiss on his lips. "You mean YOUR genes made them to be such firecrackers. Cheeky little firecrackers, I might add" I throw back at him, chuckling. Honestly though, I couldn't be happier with my children, they are the absolute best, most adorable children.

They have quite the personalities, but that is what I love most about them. Looking back, I can't believe I was so afraid to have pups. I wonder whether or not they will be Lycans or dragons, but only time will tell. Life has been busy, but absolutely amazing. And above all - I couldn't be happier. I have my family, I have a bonus family, and I have my babies. Damon and Nadia had a pup of their own, and I love how close their little one is with ours.

I have been splitting my time between my duties at the dragon kingdom, and at the Lycan kingdom. There will always be issues arising, of course, but overall things have been peaceful. There have been no wars between kingdoms at least. My relationship with the other Kings and Queens now in charge is good, even the current Vampire King.

Felix has taken over the magic kingdom, and we remain good friends. Although he is still a bit on the flirty side sometimes, I never respond to his advances. I am happy with my mates.

They are everything I thought they could never be Initially, and everything I thought I never needed. Or, well, "needed" is a big word for an independent woman, but I adore them and love them with all of my heart.

My dad has found love again! Janita is her name, and she is his second chance mate. He was concerned at first that Damon and I might not approve, but I couldn't be happier for him, and neither could Damon.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Xena and Zion have taken up a new hobby - running after their grand pups. Kay and Kelly keep them on their toes, that is for sure. I don't think I have ever seen Xena and Zion as exhausted as they do after a day of babysitting. But, their relationship with Kay and Kelly is incredible, and it is heartwarming to see.

Kay and Kelly have yet to figure out that their grandma can see through their little lies, and Zeke, Zane and I have been laughing our hearts out watching that unfold.

Xena plays along with their little lies sometimes, just to see how far they'll go. It's safe to say they would do pretty much anything for some chocolate chip cookies.

Our little cookie monsters. My dad and Janita are also crazy about our little cookie monsters, and they too look exhausted after a day alone with the little gremlins. But they adore them endlessly regardless. All of the grandparents spoil them rotten every chance they get.

Zeke and Zane have been the absolute best husbands and fathers any woman could ever wish for. They weren't lying when they said they would do anything for me. They continue to prove to me every day that I am their number one priority, together with our pups. What I mean to say is.. I guess fated isn't always so.. overrated.
