The world felt so much smaller than it did ten minutes ago.  Eddie sat in front of me purring while Alec scratched behind his ears.  “Nox.” I looked up at Alec, “Wasn’t this a girl before?” I nodded. “How do cats spontaneously change sex?” I took a deep breath and steady myself as I sat…

Alex winked out of my dream and left me alone with the building fury.  But alone won out and I fell into darkness and the world around me reflected that with a rumble of thunder in the distance.  I was a reflection of the landscape, darkening and threatening rain… A throat cleared above me sitting on a limb, before…

I drifted into sleep and woke to the strange sky with stars and sun leaning against the tree that shifted and changed as you looked at it.  I was alone.  Alex was gone, he probably felt me in my dream.  _I’m okay._ I thought to myself, but more for Alex.  If he were listening I was okay.  Asleep…

It wasn’t our usual room.  It smelled wrong, but I followed Alex to the bathroom attached.  He pulled me inside and turned on the water to the shower overhead in the bath tub.  I felt the steam pressing against my skin.  “That’s gonna be too hot.”   I looked at Alex and he blinked at me…

It was still several hours before the sun went down and Vin found me in my room as I hung up the phone with Adrian.  “You wanted to talk boss?” “Your security checks you are doing on everyone?” Vin gave me a long slow nod.  “Yeeeeaaahh.” “Where are you at with it?” Vin sighed, “Honestly.”…

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…
