So yesterday... we went karting and I decided not to have either of my sons on my skelter bike thing, because I didn't want them to fall. So I let my bil ride with the youngest. his wheel fell off and they fell, and now he has scratches on is face. my bil took most of the fall and had scratches on his arms and legs. i took my son down the rest of the way, using my breaks a lot and we arrived safely. but then we chose to walk down, instead of using the skilift and it took us over four hours to go down and we walked through some very rough and steep terrain. never again lol. o and i got bitten by a spider. legs are really sore, but it was a an adventure we'll remember
Mila’s povThe date went fine, and at the end, Eli gave me a hug. I think he actually wanted to give me a kiss, but I leaned in to give him a hug instead. I don’t know; the whole thing felt so awkward.Eli is nice, like really nice. He’s an Alpha, he’s handsome, and for some reason I barely feel any chemistry with him. Of course, it’s nice to be wanted, but he’s not the person I wish wanted me.My stupid, stupid, stupid heart, or maybe my vagina—I don’t know, but some part of me desperately wants Argo to want me. And it’s dumb and it will never work, but he keeps showing up in my dreams, and I hated it when he didn’t speak to me all week.He annoys the crap out of me, and he’s such a jerk, but I feel drawn to him in a way that I don’t feel drawn to Eli or anyone else.Ugh.What’s wrong with me? Eli is perfect on paper, but he’s boring.Argo is impossible on paper and in real life, but I like him anyway. Stupid. So Stupid."What the fuck are you staring off into the distance for? Longin
Argo’s pov What the fuck did I do? I didn’t think that was the problem. What the fuck was wrong with me? The whole week I tried to stay away, and the whole week I was miserable. It wasn’t just staying away from Mila that made me fucking annoyed; it was everything. I hadn’t realized how much I depended on working out and talking to my brother. When I was younger, Elora got depressed, and her friend tried to kidnap her. It was a whole fucking thing, but I never really got it. How could someone feel so fucking miserable that they wouldn't leave their bed? My mom told me she had dealt with depression too, but it wasn’t until I left the fucking hospital and could do fuck all that I understood what they meant. Everything I felt I put into training, and what I couldn’t deal with on the mat, I dealt with by talking to Airk. Without training and Airk, I was left with my own fucking thoughts and all the frustration and pain I didn’t want to think was coming up to haunt me. Things got fuckin
Airk’s pov Tonight was perfect. Just perfect, and then I came home and everything changed. "Argo is in the hospital," Darian said. "Elora is there now. You should go." "What happened?" Darian sighed, "he’s in a bad place. He could use a brother. A friend. I won’t speak for him, but I think he hurt himself on purpose." Hurt himself on purpose? What could have happened that was bad enough for Argo to hurt himself? He was always the invisible one. The one that climbed the highest, fought the biggest guys, and was fearless. He couldn’t have hurt himself on purpose; they must be mistaken. "You should go," Brax said. "I’ll drive you if you want." Darian shook his head only slightly, but it was enough for me to see. "No, that’s okay. You need to be up early tomorrow." I replied. "I’ll drive him, then I’ll take Elora home. We just wanted someone to be here at the packhouse to tell you." "Mila is here... She could have told us about Argo." Brax said. "Yeah, but she was already sleep
Brax’s povAirk stayed at the hospital with Argo until he was released home and didn’t crawl into my bed afterwards. While it wasn’t like we promised each other we’d never sleep apart, we had shared a bed all week, and I missed him.Our date had been wonderful—perfect, even. But it gave me a glimpse into what life could be like if I had a mate out there.Being alone in my bed reminded me of what this thing between Airk and me really was. Temporary.I had been worried I’d break his heart, but I knew that once Airk left, my heart would be in pieces.I didn’t sleep well, with memories haunting my dreams and turning them into nightmares.When I woke up, all I wanted to do was see Airk. But he was nowhere to be found when I went down to breakfast.“Where are Argo and Airk?” I asked Elora when I came into the dining hall.Mila flinched at the mention of Argo’s name.“Airk is helping Argo pack. He’s leaving.” Elora explained.“It’s nice to be included,” I replied sarcastically. “What happene
Mila’s povThe soldiers seemed disappointed that Argo wasn’t there, and I couldn’t blame them. He had been here for only a short time, but his way of training had motivated the soldiers and made them work as a team.I felt guilty knowing their time was cut short because of me.I took a few deep breaths. I didn’t want to be sad anymore; I’d rather be angry.I was angry that Argo would offer to leave like he was a good person, not someone who just told me I was a mistake.Angry that he told Elora there was nothing he could do to fix things. She was with me when Darian mindlinked her, letting her know Argo offered to go. And that there was no fixing things.He wasn’t even going to try.Elora had been so sweet to me. It must be hard for her; she loved her brother. She didn’t ask me questions; she just hugged me with her big belly and waited for me to calm down.I told her everything, needing to let it out. Kissing and giving myself to Argo had been so special to me. I didn’t care where we
Argo’s pov "Are you done?" Grandpa Os asked in his low voice while I finished putting some curcling cream in my hair. "I can’t help it that you’re fucking bold, grandpa. My hair takes a lot of time; ask Grandma; she knows." It wasn’t just that my hair took so long; it was mostly that their bathroom was fucking huge and amazing. It had this huge rain shower and a large bath, and Grandma had tons of products for curls that were perfect for my hair. If I could, I would stay in that fucking shower forever. "It’s by choice," Grandpa Os growls, but I’m not so fucking sure. It used to be by choice, but he’s getting older. He’s still fucking scary when he’s angry, though, so I am not going to tell him any of this. Grandma Lily giggles behind me, "is it, Os? Your hairline isn’t where it used to be." "My love, are you saying I’m old? Because I have many ways to prove that I am still young at heart." Grandpa replies, grabbing a lock of my grandma’s hair before pulling her into a kiss. Godd
Argo’s pov When I saw Hazel, it was like I was staring at a totally different person. How the hell could someone change so quickly, or was the image I had in my head of her not the real her? I had imagined seeing her for weeks and thought it would be like a scene from a romantic fucking movie, but it was nothing like that. Everything I liked about her suddenly felt bland to me. She was still a nice person and beautiful, but there was no longer any sexual tension. It was so fucking odd. I had told people I loved Hazel, but did I even know what falling in love felt like? Did I have any fucking clue? But before I could say hello to Hazel, I had to greet my other grandparents, who looked at me with trepidation. It must be fucking confusing for them, being scared that their grandson was going to hurt their adopted daughter. Hi, Grandpa Cy. How is it possible you’ve aged in a few fucking weeks?" Grandpa Cy growled, and Grandma April sighed. "Language Argo." Grandma Lily chuckled, "do
Brax’s pov "I’m ready." Of all the words I had thought Airk was going to say, these weren’t them. Airk had mentioned wanting to talk to me about something after having been quiet for almost two weeks. There was only one week left until Airk had to return home. We still spent every night together, but he felt distance. Gone was the talkative Airk, and instead another silent Airk was there to replace him. After our date, things changed. We still touched each other, and I still received amazing blow jobs from my Air, but that’s all it was—sex. Whenever I tried to talk about something else, he became quiet. I only got one-word answers, and I hated it. But as soon as I tried to say more, he'd distract me with his amazing body or the way he could make me cum like no one else had. Mila was busy focusing on training and hanging out with Eli, but it still bothered me how everyone handled whatever happened with Argo. All week I had wanted to ask him why he had lied to me, but every time we
