After Roman dropped me off with the girls, I'd done my best to try and simply hang out with them, to talk with them, to enjoy their presence. But the darkness swirling inside me didn't let up, I had to count my breaths a couple times when black started to swirl into my vision. They had asked me a couple times what was wrong, noticing that I wasn't my usual cheerful, goofy self. Each time I'd simply smiled and said all was well, just that I was missing my mate. They nodded in understanding, but they didn't actually understand. They would be filled in eventually, by their mates, or in Violet's case, by Gemma or Roman himself. I wonder if they would fear me. I wouldn't blame them if they did. I feared me, feared what I was capable of.
When I couldn't take it anymore, I stood up and went back to Roman's room, saying that I was feeling unwell and needed to lie down. They probably knew I was lying, but they didn't protest. Tami didn't say anything, I think she was actually trying toKaugnay na kabanata

Me and Roman have very different definitions of what a cottage is. This looked like a fairy godmother's mansion. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't a cottage. It was a gorgeous light stone house, it did have that cottage feel to it with its triangle shaped entrance, but it was...exquisite. I could see the garden wrapping around the entire house, stopping only at the porch. Different kinds of trees surrounded the property, but my favorite was the willow tree in the front yard. The porch was adorned in different plants, some hanging, some potted on the ground, and others from the garden that grew onto the porch. I must have looked starstruck because Roman laughed before he scooped me up again, and walked towards the front door."This was my mom's house originally before she moved into the packhouse. She loved gardening, I always thought maybe she was part witch. After she died, I had one of my earth witches, Paloma, come and help out with bringing the garden back

When I wake up the next morning, the bed feels empty and Roman's scent is faint. I groggily open my eyes, and confirm he is indeed not in bed with me. I'm confused for a moment before the smell of bacon reaches my nostrils. I sit up in disbelief, there is no way the big bad Alpha is cooking me breakfast. I throw one of his shirts on and walk downstairs. My eyes widen at the sight before me. He's standing shirtless at the stove, a dish towel thrown over his shoulder, a pile of pancakes and bacon next to him, Red Hot Chili Peppers is playing on the speaker and he's singing along. I admire the sight, how long did the Goddess have to spend sculpting this man to perfection for me?"You know you're supposed to have a shirt on when you cook, right?" I tease him as I walk up to him and wrap my arms around him"Good morning to you too, and that rule is for humans who cry over a little tiny grease splatter burning them." he says leaning down and kissing me"Well you're not allo

We spent 8 days at the cottage, the extra day happening after Amara used her tears and a couple other parts of her to convince me to stay. But unfortunately, we have to get back to regular life. Aston, of course, whined like a little baby whenever I told him we were staying one more day. We spent pretty much the entire 8 days having sex, and occasionally Amara would train. She actually would execute anything I had her do perfectly, so in reality we could have dived a little deeper into the training, if we hadn't gotten distracted. Yeah, we might have ended up fucking in the backyard a couple times. Now, after the run back, we're just walking into the packhouse"I'm gonna go find Violet! I'll stop by your office after." Amara says to me and kisses me quickly before running off. Ok then, I guess she isn't too upset about coming home. I chuckle and walk into my office.My eyes nearly jump out of my head when I see the pile of paperwork sitting on my desk. Fucking Aston! Did h

My face is drained of color, and I feel dizzy. He knew, he knew without me even looking at him. So that means anyone else who knew about this prophecy or whatever would know, just by looking at me. I must sway on my feet a little bit because Roman pulls me to his lap. I take a couple deep breaths to calm myself, trying to keep my voice from breaking."How did you know?" I ask"Your aura. I've never seen anything like it. Fae can read auras, it's like a 6th sense in a way. Yours screams power, royalty, darkness, light, chaos..." Thayer says, pausing to think before continuing "I think it's safe to say any fae would know what you were. As for other species I cannot say. You've been a whispered legend for over a millenia, there's literature as I said, but some think it's a fairytale. The vampires have had quite some time to think about how and what they will do with you, them wanting you isn't exactly a secret. The vampire king reached out to me, asking for the Fae's legends

There's a second of awkward silence as Amara exits the room. I refrain from letting out a sigh, trying to maintain my mask of indifference. I know she's going to try and forget her problems by sleeping, but we have to face this head on. I'll talk to her. Hopefully Sophie will help too. I don't really know what to say to make it better, my mate she may be but I still have a lot to learn about her."Forgive her, she's overwhelmed easily by all this, as I'm sure you can imagine" I tell Thayer"Of course. It would certainly be a shock to me if I woke up one day and found out all this information. I'll have one of my men transport my books to you as soon as I arrive home. We will be leaving later tonight so expect them tomorrow morning." Thayer says, getting out of his seat.I simply nod as he lets himself out, finally allowing that heavy sigh out. We have quite a long road ahead of us it seems. I look at Cici, Violet, and Serena who are all looking at me expectantly, so I

I'm, quite violently, woken up by a familiar voice yelling at me and then jumping on top of me. It takes me a minute before realization dawns on me and then I'm squealing."What are you doing here?! How?!" I yell as I push Sophie off of me, sit up, and then tackle her again in another hug"Your grumpy Alpha asked me to come a couple days ago. Oh by the way, he definitely thinks I'm an idiot. I blubbered the whole way up the stairs. I don't know how you're not scared of him, he's a lot more intimidating in person. Which is saying something because the idea of him was already pretty freaking scary." she says"I've told you a million times he's a softie, and I probably put him in a bad mood because I may or may not have thrown a hissy fit before I came up here." I say and cringe"Girl, what did you do?" Sophie says rolling her eyes and laying down next to me on Roman's side. I stifle a growl that she is laying in my mates scent. She rolls her eyes, and punche

To no surprise, Violet and Sophie immediately became best friends-Selene save us all. We did some walking around the shops, but with winter coming in hot we decided to just go to a restaurant for some drinks. After having a teeny tiny bit too much to drink and walking home-not even feeling the bite of the cold, we're now sprawled across the living room. My legs are draped across Roman's lap and Sophie's head in mine with the rest of her perpendicular to me on the chaise. Seth and Gemma are in the loveseat, Cici and Aston on the floor, while Violet is sitting on her mate, Blue. Max and Serena opted out of hanging out with us, saying they had their own plans. If I thought Roman was serious and brooding, those two put his ice-cold exterior to shame."Blue, when are you going to tell us your real name?" I ask her suddenly, taking a sip of my wine I've been nursing. We only call her Blue, but when Aston so gracefully asked what kind of name that was, she simply told us it was a nick

I want to stand up, but I know my knees will wobble. So I stay sitting, focusing on my mate's and my soul sister's touch to keep me grounded. Roman must mindlink everyone except Seth and Sophie to leave, because everyone gets up and quickly evacuates the living room. Honestly, I barely notice. I'm still staring at the man who I'm supposed to call dad, and trying not to fall into the abyss of my emotions while I do so."I..." I start to say but trail off, not really knowing where I was going with it, but I feel like I need to speak. I didn't really expect it to be this emotional, ignorantly I guess. In the abstract, it was much easier to think about him. But with him, my father, standing here in front of me, reminding me that I have a parent who's alive, is bringing up so many feelings.Stupid, stupid feelings. I don't know a damn thing about him. He could be a sadist, he could be a homophobe, he could hate women. I mean, he's the demon overlord from the underworld,
