AN: Here we are at the final chapter of Kingdom Fall. An appropriate time to release it too since the anime is doing some Louis x Juno content right now. A reminder that this chapter also contains the last lemon of the story, which I'll mark as I did on the previous occasions for the sake of those who don't want to read them. Without further ado...enjoy.

Ch 14: The Fall Completed

Louis and Juno are looking out at the city from the balcony just outside their apartment.

The stag is still wearing his plaid shirt, having been convinced to keep it tonight and give it away to charity the next day.

"It's a beautiful view," the she wolf says while staring at the city.

Louis looks over at Juno. "The best." He's not talking about the city.

Not realizing what was meant, the she wolf looks back into the apartment, where Philip is hanging out and having fun with all the guests. "We did it. Philip has everything he ever wanted from life."

"Don't think we've done our job already. He'll need us for whatever comes next. It may be others bullying him, problems with friends, romantic issues, anything."

"I know that you silly stag." Juno returns to viewing the city. "I heard that Mara and that zebra producer of hers got engaged."

"Good. They're not hiding who they are anymore."

Juno hesitates at the next bit of news she has. "I…also heard that…Horns Conglomerate went under." She waits in silence for the stag's reaction.

Louis laughs. "About time!" He smirks at Juno. "The Board of Directors called me up a few months ago. They were begging me to come back and be CEO to save Horns Conglomerate from ruin. Only I could've convinced investors to give money to the company again after all the things Philip and I revealed last year. Instead, I quoted Marie and said 'Horns Conglomerate can burn'."

This shocks Juno. "You didn't even consider going back?"

"Not even for a moment. I know exactly what would've happened if I had accepted. The Board would've kept their traditional views despite me leading. At best, they would have kicked me out after I got Horns Conglomerate stable again."

"That's at best?"

Louis nods. "The other possibility was if they believed I was too valuable to let go. The Board would have given me an ultimatum. They'd have told me I had to abandon and denounce you, Philip, and Marie…"

"Are you serious?!"

"Or…they'd have you and Philip assassinated."

Juno freezes. "What?"

Louis nods. "As well as Marie, Goshen, and their unborn child. All so there wouldn't be what they considered an unclean and improper stain on Horns Conglomerate's 'purity'."

"Shouldn't we be worried about them coming after us?!"

"You don't have to worry about them now. They don't have the balls to attempt anything themselves. Even back when they called me, the Board didn't have money to spare to buy breath mints let alone pay any hitmen to go after anybody. All of the money from their private reserves went into their desperate attempt to keep Horns Conglomerate afloat. The company going under means they've drained themselves dry."

"Well…I'm still sorry. I know it used to mean a lot to you."

"Only to the coward in me. The part of me too scared to live life without high status. All listening to it did was keep me alone and almost took the lives of friends, you, and our son."

"What about Oguma?"

Louis stays silent for a moment. "Thinking back now, he was a very flawed man that had only showed his true affection for me sparingly, including on his deathbed. Father was held back by his loyalty and sense of duty to Horns Conglomerate. I now mourn the potential he had to be a most loving father to me if he'd been free of the company's influence." The stag lifts the drink in his hand. "To the fall of a kingdom that was corrupt and a bad influence to many."

Juno lifts her own drink and sips it with her boyfriend. "Hybrid Rights seems to be going well."

"I'm glad it's succeeding. So many hybrids out there are suffering from being rejected by their own families, bullied by other animals, and denied basic rights. None of them should have to be forced to live like Philip did. The Hybrid Rights Movement is something that's desperately needed."

"It would help if you'd accepted that offer to be named a Beastar."

Louis flinches. "How do you know about that?"

"I overheard you on the phone with the association last week."

The stag looks down at the street below. "Juno, if I'd accepted, it'd feel like I was going against everything we've done in the past year to get to this point."

"No it wouldn't."

"What about your time as a Beastar?"

Juno looks down at the street. "I was a Beastar for the wrong reasons. Helping out all of the mistreated carnivores and promoting interspecial love were only bonuses. The main goal was to get your attention. When I gave up on you, I threw myself into the other parts mostly because I didn't really have anything else." The she wolf looks over at the stag. "You becoming Beastar would boost the strength of the Hybrid Rights Movement."

"What about Philip? I wouldn't want him to think that I was going back to the way that I used to be."

"Talk with him. Have a conversation with your son."

Louis stares uncertainly at Juno for a moment before smiling. "You're right. I need to let him know I'm not giving up him or any of my family to be a Beastar. After all, Legoshi, without a doubt, is the most dedicated family man I know and he's a Beastar."

"Haru did have to convince him to take up the position though."

"Of course she did." Louis stares into the she wolf's eyes. "Juno? Are you happy about things as they are?"

"Absolutely." The she wolf frowns. "Are you not?"

"I am. Believe me, I am. It's just…I'm wondering if we could have something…more."

"What would that be?"

"I know what I want, but…I'm scared to ask for it."

"Why?"

The stag gives the she wolf the most intense look. "Juno, I love you. I have loved you so many years. Despite that, I stayed away out of fear of an unknown life." Louis looks at his feet. "Now that I'm in it, I'm so ashamed that I let fear win for so damn long, because I love the life I have now. I have felt more happy and alive in the past year than I ever did my whole life. Being around all my friends again, making a home for our son, and living with you." The stag looks up at the she wolf, revealing that he's crying. "If this is some dream, then I don't ever want to wake up."

Juno is quick to get teary eyed too. "Louis?"

The stag sticks a hand in his pants pocket. "A part of me feels I don't have the right to be asking you this after making you wait over twenty years, but I have to try." He lowers himself to one knee and pulls his hand out of the pocket, revealing a ring. "Juno? Will you marry me?"

The she wolf stands frozen, staring down at the stag and the ring that's in his hand. Then, her tail wags and a big smile forms on her face. "Yes!" Juno picks Louis up and gives him a big hug.

The stag laughs with joy at his luck. Once he's placed back down, he slips the ring on the she wolf's finger and kisses her.

Cheers and applause fill the air.

Louis and Juno look to see their friends and family looking at them.

"Congratulations!" shouts Marie.

"About time!" shouts Haru.

"We're so happy for you, Boss!" all the lions shout as one.

Legoshi comes out onto the balcony and places his arms around the pair. "Let's celebrate inside." He leads the engaged couple back into the apartment.

For awhile, it's all laughter and drinks.

"I have a suggestion to make!" Pina shouts to everyone. The male sheep smirks at Louis. "I'd throw you the wildest bachelor party ever if you name me the best man."

Louis rolls his eyes. "I'm sure you would, but I have somebody else in mind." He smiles at Legoshi. "Would you do the honors?"

The wolf smiles, his tail wagging up a storm. "Sure, Louis."

Juno looks down at Haru. "You can be my maid of honor."

"Yeah!" the rabbit shouts with a fist pump. "Your bachelorette party will rock!"

"Aww," Shiira says feeling disappointed.

Juno places a hand on the cheetah's shoulder. "Don't worry. You'll still be a bridesmaid. Same goes for Els and Marie."

"Cool," says the goat.

The pregnant hind smiles. "I'm honored, Mom."

Louis becomes thoughtful. "Who should I pick as my groomsmen?" Seeing all the lions getting excited, the stag chuckles. "Sorry, but I think you guys should act as security."

Though disappointed, the lions salute.

"I choose Goshen."

The wolf-rabbit hybrid smiles. "Thank you, Sir."

The stag looks around before sighing. "Pina, you can be a groomsmen."

The sheep smirks. "Good choice. I'll definitely be helping to make this a better wedding than whatever you had with Azuki."

"Considering that was just a signing of papers, I have no doubt about that."

"That's depressing shit," says Melon.

"No kidding," says Kai.

Louis takes a deep breath. "I guess my last groomsman will be…Bill."

Juno looks over at her fiancé, surprised by this choice. "Really? You choose Bill and not Philip?"

"He'll be the ring bearer."

"That's great! Don't you think so, Philip?" The she wolf realizes her son isn't even there in the room. "Philip?"

Looking around, Louis notices something else. "Bill's gone too."

Els joins everyone else in checking around. "For that matter, where's Trini?"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" comes a loud and angry voice.

Philip runs into the room from a hallway and holds his mother. "Hide me."

Bill stomps in looking totally pissed off. "You're dead, Kid!"

Legoshi, Riz, and Aoba all restrain the tiger while Louis places himself between Bill and Philip.

Trini runs in from the same hallway as the other two. "Daddy! Please calm down!"

Bill doesn't hear her as he glares at Philip. "I'll break every bone in your body!"

The deer-wolf hybrid holds his mother tighter and vice versa.

Els runs over to her husband. "Honey! What's going on?!"

The tiger points at Philip. "That creep was groping our daughter!"

The whole room stares in shock at the deer-wolf hybrid, who's blushing.

"He didn't grope me!" Trini shouts indignantly at her father. "We were making out! And I was the one who started it!"

The tiger freezes at hearing that his daughter was the initiator.

"You see?" Aoba asks his friend. "It was all consensual. Philip was not taking advantage of your daughter."

"There's no reason to attack him," says Riz.

"Can we trust you not to hurt Philip if we let you go?" asks Legoshi.

"Yeah," says Bill. Once he's released, the tiger glares at the deer-wolf hybrid. "I am still not okay with this." He walks to the other side of the room with Trini in tow.

Philip goes over to a chair and sits.

Juno and Louis slowly walk over.

The she wolf stands in front of her son. "So…was that your first kiss?"

Philip just nods.

"That's nice. You've hit a big milestone."

"I don't see why everyone's getting so worked up over it. It was just a kiss. Didn't mean anything."

Louis stares in horror at his son before placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't do that."

"What?"

"Deny your feelings. That's what you're doing."

"It's not a big deal, Dad."

"Philip. Whatever you feel for Trini, don't fight it. I'm begging you, don't repeat what I did with your mother."

The deer-wolf hybrid almost feels sick as understanding dawns on him. 'He's right. I am repeating history. After all the time I spent hating Dad for denying his feelings, now I'm the one doing it.' Philip takes a deep breath before standing up. "Trini!"

The tiger-goat hybrid turns to look at the deer-wolf hybrid, not having expected this. She ignores her dad's quiet growl.

"Right now, I'm not in a place where I can take on a romantic relationship! When I am, I want you to be the one I try it with! Will you wait for me to be ready, Trini?!"

The tiger-goat hybrid smiles. "You bet I will, Philip!"

The deer-wolf hybrid smiles back.

Everyone in the room has their jaws dropped by this confession.

Louis blinks. "That's…not what I expected."

"Guess Philip needs time to become comfortable with us being parents to him before he's able to consider going on dates with anyone," says Juno.

Bill is making sounds similar to choking.

Els takes his hand. "Hey, at least Philip was upfront with his intentions for our daughter. You can't deny that's a good thing for a possible suitor."

The tiger sighs. "Yeah. You're right, Babe."

"Our Philip's growing up!" Andy suddenly shouts.

"In a unique way, but it still counts!" shouts Ben.

"We're so proud of you!" shouts Casey.

Philip blushes with a smile on his face. 'Dad was right. Being open and accepting what feelings you have is better.'

Later that night…

After everyone else has left and the apartment was cleaned up, Louis and Juno are getting Philip set up in his bedroom.

"You're absolutely sure you won't be needing to spend tonight with us?" asks Juno. "We would be okay with it."

"I'll be fine, Mom," says Philip. "You guys being in the next room will be good for me."

"If you need anything, just knock on the wall," Louis says while demonstrating. "We can hear you from that side."

Philip nods. "Hey, Dad? You should go ahead and be a Beastar."

The stag and the she wolf weren't expecting that.

"You heard us?" asks Juno.

Philip points at his ears. "Hybrid senses."

"So…you're really okay with it?" asks Louis.

"I am. There are other hybrids like me out there. They need help. Besides, if you do end up losing yourself in your work, Mom and I are here to pull you back out."

The stag chuckles. "That shouldn't be necessary, but I'm glad anyway. I'll go ahead and call the Beastar Association back in the morning. Good night, Philip."

"Good night, Honey," Juno says as she starts to follow her fiancé out of the room.

"Good night," Philip says as he sits down on his bed. The words don't feel quite enough for him. "Mom? Dad?" He hesitates as his parents turn and look at him. 'You can do this. You know you feel it. You haven't been able to say it yet, but being open with Trini worked out great. Besides, you know they feel the same about you.' "I love you guys."

The stag and the she wolf smile, walk over to their son, and hug him.

"Love you, Sweetie," says Juno.

"We love you, Son," says Louis.

The deer-wolf hybrid relishes the warmth of their hug until his mom and dad decide to let him go.

"Good night," they all say at the same time.

Louis and Juno remain in a happy daze as they head for their room. It persists while they strip down to their underwear and get in bed, Louis taking off his prosthetic leg too. The two lay there for a long time, unable to sleep.

The stag looks over at the she wolf. "Hey, Juno. We're engaged."

The she wolf smiles. "We are."

"It's funny. In the year since we got back together, we've had no time to be intimate."

Juno looks in surprise at her fiancé. "You can't be serious."

"The months we'd spent living with Legoshi and Haru, it felt too awkward to do anything in our friends' home."

"Didn't stop Legoshi and Haru from doing their own thing."

"Hearing those two was rather uncomfortable. At least Goshen and Marie had control of themselves. Hearing my own daughter would have been distressing. Once we got this place, we never found the time to have sex. Putting so much work into making this place a home for Philip and our hours working Haru's flower shop exhausted us every night."

"Don't forget your time with the Hybrid Rights Movement."

Louis smirks at Juno. "I'm not feeling tired right now."

The she wolf rolls over so her back is to the stag. "Not with Philip in the next room."

Louis rubs her shoulder. "Come on. I'm feeling needy."

"That's too bad for you."

The stag is feeling desperate for the she wolf's touch, but isn't certain how to talk her into giving it. An idea comes to him and he knows that it will work. "Juno, you asked me a question many years ago that I never gave you an answer to. Now, I'm answering with a resounding yes."

The she wolf can't help her curiosity and turns over. "Yes to what?" Juno freezes seeing her fiancé.

Louis has his body splayed out in a way that makes him look defenseless and vulnerable. He's running a hand over the scars on his own torso, knowing it'll entice the she wolf. The only thing not fitting the image are his eyes. The stag's eyes are pleading, but also calculating, aware he's won this battle of wills. "Please, Juno. Make me into a mess."

In an instant, the she wolf is straddling his waist with an excited smirk. "I will make you regret those words."

Louis gives Juno a smile while his heart is racing. "That won't happen, but I'd like to see you try."

LEMON STARTS HERE

The she wolf hungrily kisses the stag.

'Yes! Juno's fanged kiss! Yes!' Louis's hands reach up and grab onto her back, but he is surprised when Juno takes his hands off her and restrains them above his head.

"I don't think so. You might have gotten us started, but I'll be in charge of how it all goes from here."

This display of dominance gets Louis hard. He knows Juno can feel it from the way she's smiling at him.

"Keep your hands where they are." The she wolf lets go of the stag's hand to reach back behind herself and undo her bra.

Louis bites his lip and clenches his hands into fists to keep from lurching forward to bury himself in Juno's beautiful breasts. 'Fuck. If I can resist my urge, she'll reward me. If not, then she'll punish me. Not sure which I'd prefer.' His body shivers when she places them right at his face. 'Maybe I'll go with the punishment.'

"I'll let you play with them if you can answer one question. Who are you?"

"Louis."

"No."

The stag feels horny and confused. "Your fiancé?"

"Nice, but still no."

Louis figures out what she wants from him, but feels reluctant to say it. "Your…stag?"

"Close, but not quite."

Louis clams up, embarrassed by what Juno wants him to say.

"Let me put it this way. Either you admit what you are or I stop this right here and now."

'What?! No. She's bluffing. She wouldn't do that to me.'

After a few moments of silence, Juno starts to get up.

'She would! No! I can't wait anymore!' Louis mumbles something.

Juno hears it and smiles playfully. "What was that? I didn't quite catch it."

The stag's remaining pride won't allow him to repeat himself.

The she wolf places a claw on the bulge in his underwear. "If you don't say it, I won't be helping you with this." She traces a circle around the tip.

Louis whimpers. 'I can't take it.' "Alright. You win. I admit it. I'm your prey." When he utters that last sentence, the stag is grabbed by his antlers and brought up to a sitting position. His face is buried in Juno's breasts.

"There you go. Now, pleasure me, Prey."

'There goes all of my dignity.' As he's licking at the she wolf's breasts and has his hands brought up to rub all over her body, Louis discovers that he is quite happy with where he is now. 'Worth it.'

Juno licks the top of the stag's head, making him shudder and encouraging him to keep at it. She lets out a moan when he rubs at her belly. Not wanting Louis to have the upper hand, the she wolf gets on her back, guiding the stag by an antler so his face is above her panties. "I think you know what to do."

Louis begins to reach for them with a hand.

"Use your teeth."

The stag excitedly leans down and bites the panties He groans with delight as a powerful scent hits his nose. 'I've got her soaking wet.' Louis drags the garment all the way down Juno's legs, the she wolf raising them up to help the stag. He takes the time to sniff at the panties before flinging them away. Louis goes back down to lick at the ultimate prize.

Juno moans. She wriggles and squirms from the feeling of Louis's tongue. The she wolf grabs onto the stag's antlers, putting scratches in them from the throes of passion.

The old Louis would hate scratches being put on his antlers. Now, he considers them the marks of his and Juno's love. An idea comes to the stag. He reaches up and holds his fingers out to the she wolf.

Knowing what it is he wants, Juno takes his fingers and places them into her mouth. She licks them and grazes them with her fangs since she knows the stag likes it.

Once he gets his fingers back, Louis uses them to open Juno up for him.

The she wolf covers her mouth to keep from screaming her pleasure since Philip is in the other room after all. The feeling of Louis's fingers inside her soon makes Juno reach her climax, her claws gripping the mattress and tearing it as it happens.

The stag drinks her and licks her off his fingers. "Heavenly nectar. I feel like a carnivore right now." He's suddenly pushed onto his back with Juno smiling down at him.

"I think you need to be reminded who's the carnivore in this relationship." She nibbles at Louis's neck, eliciting grunts of pleasure form him. The she wolf travels downward, nipping and licking at the stag's scars.

Louis moans. 'This is the best torture.'

Juno stops at the stag's underwear and smirks up at him. She takes the waistband in both hands and rips the underwear in half.

Louis stares in aroused shock. "You ripped them."

Juno tosses the halves away. "Relax. You have plenty and I won't do this every time. It looks like you enjoyed it anyway." She places her face right by the stag's excitement, giving it a long and slow lick from base to tip.

Louis shudders. When he feels a fang start grazing him, he grits his teeth to keep himself quiet. Knowing what will happen next, the stag grabs a pillow and shoves his face into it just as the she wolf takes him fully into her mouth. As he expected, Louis screams into the pillow from the sensation.

Juno loves the taste of Louis in her mouth. There's no danger of losing herself to any old dangerous instincts since she'd trained to control herself years ago for the safety of her herbivore lovers. Seeing and hearing her fiancé's enthusiastic reaction, his hips bucking up to create some friction, the she wolf mischievously decides to stop.

"Why?!" Louis moans out in frustration and disappointment. Those feelings leave him as Juno gets face to face with him and takes his length into her hand.

"Didn't want you finishing before we got to the best part." She aims him up into her and envelopes him.

"Fuck!" Louis has to take a few breaths along with Juno to recover from the suddenness. When the she wolf starts rolling her hips, the stag moans. "You're wicked and I love you for it!"

"You take…everything…I have to give…and I love you for it! Oh!"

The pair rock together, the she wolf digging her claws into the wooden headboard and the stag placing his hands on her hips.

"Juno! I'm cumming!"

"Hold it longer! I'm almost there!"

Louis grits his teeth from the effort of keeping it in.

Juno slams her hips into his, her claws carving marks into the headboard, gushing on him with a long and drawn out moan.

Louis completely loses it, unleashing into her with a loud yell, his hands squeezing at the she wolf's ass.

LEMON ENDS HERE

The couple breathes into each other's faces in the bliss of aftermath.

Soon though, Louis starts really feeling the she wolf's weight on him. He uses what little strength he has to start trying to nudge her off of him.

Juno helps by rolling herself off the stag.

Now laying on their sides, the couple smiles and goes in for a gentle and tender kiss.

A loud knock on the wall interrupts the moment. "Did you forget I was here?!" comes an angry Philip's voice from the other room

The couple's eyes almost bulge out realizing what this means.

"I heard it all! Wish I didn't because I didn't need to know what you two do in the sack!"

Juno buries her face in her pillow and whimpers, completely mortified at their son having heard them doing it.

Out of nowhere, Louis starts laughing.

The she wolf removes the pillow from her face and stares angrily at the stag. "You think this is funny?!"

"You're weird, Dad!" Philip shouts from the other room.

"We're sorry, Philip!" Louis calls back while still laughing. "We'll keep it down for you next time!"

"Do that! I'm moving my bed to the opposite side of my room! Good night!"

"Good night!" Once Louis stops laughing, he notices Juno has her back to him. "What's wrong?"

"We're never doing that again."

The stag rolls his eyes. "Oh, please. You don't mean that."

"Philip shouldn't be forced to hear us every night."

"Come on. Tonight was us getting years of tension out of our systems. We can learn how to be quiet with it now."

The she wolf doesn't respond.

Louis rubs Juno's shoulder. "Hey. After all the years I spent stupidly keeping away from you, I want to enjoy all the benefits of a fanged marriage."

The she wolf rolls over to look at the stag. Slowly, she smiles. "I love you you stubborn lunatic."

"And I love you my powerful goddess." He gives her a soft kiss and wraps both his arms around her. Louis goes to sleep holding Juno with one last thought in his head. 'This is the life.'

The End

AN: There you have it, Folks. Kingdom Fall is done. I had a blast making this story and I hope all of you enjoyed it too. I've stated this before, but I will head canon this as what happens with Louis and Juno if Paru Itagaki decides to have the ending she gave to them be their ultimate end. If Beast Complex does address these two in the future...I both do and don't want it. If Paru just reaffirms her choice to have Louis be with Azuki, I'll just reject it in my mind. There is no way Paru can write it that would make me have any respect for Louis as a character, because I don't respect him for his choice. He doesn't have to end up with Juno for me to be happy (though I would prefer it), I'd just be glad for that dumb marriage to be dissolved. If she does write Louis and Juno getting together, great. For now, I'll just think of this story as what ends up happening with Louis and Juno. Anyway, it will be some time before I'm back with another story, because my previously mentioned Melon x Sebun story is still in the early stages of development. Again, I know they are a very weird pairing and there's extremely little chance that Paru would ever have them become a couple. Still, the idea of those two together fascinates me. I should have the story out for you all later this year. Until then...this has been PurkiDewd. Thank you for reading.
