Month: July 2020

My laptop had sat unused for a few days on the table in our room. It wasn’t a desk, and Alex had very few personal belongings here himself. Not that he had much at his apartment but even though we were mystically married I had a feeling we’d always have two separate homes. No matter how much room I…

Home was easy once everyone was packed and the house closed up for the summer. At least that’s how it’d look to the rest of the people out in the Hamptons. We’d probably be back but you never knew. And with my new so-called position I didn’t really know much of anything anymore. Ant shadow walked us all home and the kids fell…

We had dinner and Rider took all the kids, and wolves too with him.  Seraph went with them though she looked back and me pleading not to have to spend time with them.  But she went.  And Rider had proven that he was an Alpha to everyone.  He commanded, the little ones follow.  He was…

Griffin and I were getting along so much better after I put him on the ground.  I wasn’t the pansy he thought I was.  Though his thoughts betrayed him, he was waiting for the con to be up.  And while I was well aware of how this all started with Alex, we were past it.…

I stood up and Alex didn’t hide it while he watched me move elegantly up.  He smirked when I offered him a hand up.  He took me up on the offer and I pulled him up with ease.  And he made me work for it too. He sighed, “I don’t think I’ll ever be as…

There was little drama for the rest of our walk through the car show.  We had some cotton candy – well Alex ate most of it I did eat some.  But it’s too sweet for me.  The price for not eating sweets.  But I had fun feeding my share to Alex.  He didn’t seem to mind too…

I turned around to see Dan walking towards us.  I glared at him.  Alex moved me to the side, he wanted to step in front of me but I think he held back because he wanted to see what I’d do. “Bye, Dan.”  I said taking Alex’s hand and walking towards Dan to move past…

I had a date – with my husband for all intensive purposes.  But Alex was treating it as a date that I had to pick him up from.  It was kinda fun. I rushed through my breakfast and was in my room still nibbling on a banana Hunter thrust in my hand before I left, “You’ll…

There was a thin sheen of uncertainty but the vacation went well.  We were a big happy family.  And the tension only rose when Alex and I were alone.  Which only happened at night.  The first night back Alex slept on his side and me on mine.  Which never happened, but by morning we’d been…

No one came outside.  I head them all being a happy family inside.  I longed for the comfort of my family for Alex, but I was pretty sure all that was over.  The tears fell well into the morning, and no one bothered me.  No one came looking.  The house was silent.  Rider must have taken the kids out as he’d…

I didn’t dream.  I woke with a gasp from the darkness lying in our shared bed.  Though the sun was down and I was alone.  There were no sounds, and there were no voices in my head.  Everyone was asleep.  No telling how long I’d been out while my body healed the trauma.  I sat…

I dropped the veil and the wall separating us and Alex was there in a heartbeat lifting my arm to his face to look at the brand.  “What the fuck!” I shrugged, “You wanted me to be normal.  This is how I do it.”  I said snatching my arm away from him.  “I’m going for…

I dropped the veil as I walked and Ant was sitting in the sand.  “Hey Nox!” I turned to look at my fallen friend, “You might want to hide the rest of the whiskey.” I sighed with a nod as Ant collapsed back into the sand and laid like he was about to make a snow…

We walked closer to the patio and I saw a bunch of people standing around laughing and having a good time.  Griffin stepped in front of me and lead the way as a good bodyguard.  But I stopped short when I heard one particular laugh in particular.  Dan was smiling and flirting with Alex.  It wasn’t that he was flirting that bugged…

Breakfast finished and Rider took out the garbage.  There was a yelp.  Rider rushed back inside the house, “Um, are raccoons allergic to honey too?” “Why?”  We all asked at the same time. “There is a dead raccoon with the cake you threw out last night.” Griffin was the first one out the door.  I…

Alex and I slept in our own bed – though it wasn’t our bed – it wasn’t **my** bed. Strange places still made me restless. But I didn’t stray far I sat outside where Alex had waited for me and watched the sun come up. I dozed a little or I must have because before…

We watched the sun set well past dark.  Alex stood up and took the beer from my hand. “I’ve held it against you most of our life.  I know you love to dance. And I was afraid that one moment in our many dreams would stick with you and when I bared my soul to you on…

As I walked out of the room I’d been hiding in I pulled on a smile and took a deep breath to steal myself against the onslaught of people. The living space was full of people. More people than there had been when I’d left. The place was decorated too. Alex had pulled out all the stops. The ceiling…

I was sitting in the room where Dorian left me in the dark. I didn’t care if I was being anti-social. Really wasn’t in the head space to deal with people. But that didn’t mean people didn’t find me. And that they did. My father was standing in the doorway watching me. “Funny how no one is really looking…

Sage left to go help Mia, Jace was no where to be seen, “Did you not invite Jace?” Alex laughed. “He’s around somewhere.  I think he realized he fucked up 5 years ago.”  Alex quickly changed the subject, “Apparently Sage doesn’t drive?” “No. He has a fundamental fear with cars in general. The fact he rode in one at…
