I have no problem with Adalind and Nick getting together, but as far as ungrateful, I would have chosen Adalind (and did vote but it said undo it but I don't know how) and Renard would be 2nd - primarily because as even Adalind has said many times, admitting to Rosalee, that Hexenbiests and Zauberbiests love the power and ability to manipulate, in so many words, and they are decidedly both greedy at their worst and will not stop because they're too busy reveling in their own abilities and powers.
This makes them died-in-the-wool ingrates.
So was Adalind, "the dormant mouse in the corner" during seasons 5 and seasons 6 really just an act? I can't imagine what she'd be trying to manipulate, she seemed deflated to me. On the other hand, what's the best way to get the goods on a former enemy? Become part of his life so she can study him at length?
I'm taking the question to mean in an overall sense - not as things progressed over time. She seemed 'normal' in the last 2 seasons. I am not sure I get it when you say she seemed 'deflated' - If she was, then why was she so freakin' worried about becoming hexdenbiest again? Either that's an act (which I think is definitely within the realm of possibility because she'd basically already on the verge and then it happened without doubt when she broke Tony's fingers.
It seems Adalind is well aware of just how awful hexenbiests can be and that it's all part and parcel of being one.
I don't think Adalind was normal in seasons 5 and 6. When the creative team made her into a mother and Nicik's partner, they took out the fun spark that was Adalind. It almost seemed to me that she and Juliette had traded places and she was the new Juliette.
I too had thought Adalind was going to change back to her old ways when the hexenbiest made its appearance. Instead, and disappointingly so, the show never addressed what she meant by all the fear over its return.
So I can't say whether she was ungrateful or not, but then Nick will really be the most ungrateful of all in my opinion.
Well I don't know how you figure Nick was the most ungrateful. I don't think in black and white terms to start with, so this isn't exactly my kind of serious question.
I certainly didn't see Juliette as some kind of dull nerdy type - which is exactly how Adalind described her school years to Rosalee (saying she was a nerdy student who worked hard to get good grades to prove to her mother she wasn't' anything like her. So, the hexenbiest thing is pretty clear to me, that Adalind wasn't kidding, but having the children made a pretty big change for both Adalind and Nick.
