Chapter 2405: If I put the Blindfold on, would that help?
The three women hugged each other with tears in their eyes, no words or introduction were needed, Luminia and Ithania could instantly sense their connection, so did Aeliana.
Azriel watched that sight from a distance and felt a... strong sense of fulfilment.
This was it.
This was his family.
They were back.
Every single one of them was back.
"Grandpa, are they...?"
Then suddenly, Azriel saw Samael standing next to him, looking at his mother and two women he didn’t know hugging each other. Azriel smiled, then he picked him up and—
"Mhm, they are your grandmothers."
He answered as he ruffled Samael’s hair.
"I told you not to do that."
Samael frowned, trying to fix his hair, Azriel just chuckled and continued making a mess of it anyway, forcing Samael to give up with an offended pout.
It was even funnier because Samael usually didn’t show his childish side, but Azriel for some reason, always had a way of annoying him with the simplest of things.
"Hmph!"
In the end, Samael just snorted, then he escaped from Azriel’s clutches and rushed towards his mother instead.
Luminia and Ithania saw him, then they looked at Aeliana for answers, no, they could already sense the answer, what they wanted was an introduction.
Aeliana sensed that and—
"This is Samael Leander."
Luminia and Ithania stared at Samael.
"Your grandson."
Aeliana completed the introduction.
Luminia and Ithania could already sense it, but the moment Aeliana confirmed it, their bodies shook. Then, they gently crouched next to Samael, looking at him with intense, moist eyes.
Samael saw it, he sensed the intense emotions they were feeling, the joy, the surprise, the... hesitation and he—
He jumped into their arms.
"Grandmas!"
Ithania and Luminia’s bodies trembled even more strongly, their eyes widened in surprise, the emotions they felt the instant the boy hugged them were so intense that for a moment, they nearly lost their minds.
But as it all settled in.
As they realized the boy they were hugging was their grandson...
Those intense emotions came out in the form of tears as they hugged him back. Aeliana slowly walked towards Azriel and watched the beautiful sight with him.
"Way to rub it in for those who don’t have any more family, guys."
Allura commented, staring at the scene with slightly moist eyes.
That was when Luminia and Ithania’s eyes finally fell on other people around and once again—
They froze, counting the number of women in front of them.
Felberta was standing with Aurelios and Lysera with her usual calm and gentle appearance.
Skyla looked at everything with her cheerful eyes, Kaelion and Mira were standing with her, although Mira was constantly trying to escape her hold, she was quite the handful.
Lane was holding Nyx’s hands to make sure she didn’t mix into her Father’s Shadow.
Shadow was just holding her forehead, her little one, Nihyron, was much tougher to deal with.
Edda was with Veyron and Selene, they were a handful too, but honestly, Edda was much worse, in most cases, it was the two children looking out for their mother.
Allura was with Azarion, hers was the oldest and the most understanding.
Thyra was with Kira, Amaya stood with Orion, both children didn’t speak till necessary.
Ember was with Drakar and Ignira, Evane was with Eloria, Astaria with Ragnar, Aisha with Velora, Melia with Noctis, Riona was with Caelum, Vyriana stood together with Zyrax, Rune with Sable, Lyriana with Frostra, Eisheth with Seraphyne, Sharnoth with Kaelith.
Yes, all of them were here.
Ithania and Luminia were overwhelmed.
To them—
All of this was instantaneous.
Just a few moments ago, they were in the middle of the battle, where they were forced to make a conscious decision of killing themselves, leaving not only their husband, but their only daughter behind.
But now—
Now they were standing in front of their daughter who had grown beyond anything they remembered, a son-in-law who felt like a polite disaster wearing a smile, a grandson, and... ALL these people.
Luminia stared at the women and children, then she turned and looked at Nux, who was now holding Mira, who had successfully escaped her mother’s grasp and—
"They are... all yours...?"
The Vampire asked in disbelief.
"Yep."
Nux grinned, looking at his family with a big, proud grin on his face.
"And all of them are your wives?"
"Indeed."
Nux nodded again. Ithania turned back towards the women, she stared, then she turned back to Nux and—
"...all of them?"
"Yes."
That was when the two Mother Vampires looked at their daughter.
Aeliana smiled wryly.
"It is a long story."
Ithania looked back at Nux.
"What sort of man are you?"
At that question, Amaya’s mouth twitched. She wanted to mention how it was her daughter who came later than them but before she could, Felberta held her hand and looked into her eyes with a knowing look on her face.
Amaya sighed.
Aisha, on the other hand, just grinned—
"A bad one."
"A very good bad one."
Edda smiled perversely and Vyriana just hit the woman at the back of her head as she pointed at the children around.
The other women just laughed.
The children seemed confused and Azriel, who was seeing everything—
"I am still not ready for this family."
He sighed in defeat.
"You’ll adjust."
"He will not."
That was when another woman shook her head. Azriel looked at her and he frowned, she was... unfamiliar.
’A new one?’
He wondered in his head as he stared at the hauntingly beautiful woman.
She looked as if the night sky had taken human form. Her long black hair flowed beneath a dark hood edged with glowing golden patterns, framing her pale, flawless face. Her eyes shined like entire galaxies were trapped within them.
She had a calm, unreadable Aura around her, giving her a sense of mysteriousness, but the more Azriel looked at her—
The more... familiar she looked.
*Picture*
"And you are?"
He asked directly.
The woman looked at him and blinked, somewhat surprised, then, a familiar playful smile appeared on her face and—
"You forgot about me, that hurts."
"His wives are around, you think he would remember you?"
Allura laughed.
Azriel narrowed his eyes, the woman just chuckled at Allura’s words, then she looked at Azriel and—
"If I put the Blindfold on, would that help?"
And the moment he heard those words, Azriel’s expression changed.
"You are—"
"Ilyra."
