Hey y'all! Sorry for the late update! I had some family issues arise then I had finals to contend with. I will get back to regularly posting this next week. Thank you all for sticking with me!
I had finally shifted bac when Vix got tired of running. Looking around, I found myself in the clearing with the pond. Walking over to it, I sat down on the edge letting my feet dangle in the water. I had no care for my naked state sitting there out in the open. The wind through the trees felt nice and I couldn’t hold back my raging thoughts anymore.I needed to get the ring. If only to stop the war that would happen. I war, I was afraid, my people wouldn’t win. But I had fallen in love with him. I wanted to be here now. Could I betray him like this? For the Skulk, I know I have to. Signing, I looked up at the clouds that were rolling in. It was going to be a nasty storm that hits. Hearing a branch break, I look behind me. Looking back, I see Dezz, Aziel’s wolf walking in through the trees, in a blink of the eye. There is Aziel, looking at me with concern in his eyes.Taking a deep breath, I stand. He looks as me like he’s asking for permission. Slightly nodding my head, he moves towa
It had been a month since I came back. Nothing had changed within the Skulk. I had given my mother the ring and left her presence. I couldn’t find it in me to look her in the eyes. She knows what she has done to me. What I have given up for my people.Sighing, I look down at the pregnancy test. It had been over a month, and I still hadn’t had my period. Thinking back, I should have been smarter about this. I should have been on birth control, but who thinks they’ll meet their mate on a covert mission? Two lines slowly form on the test, and I feel the tears in my eyes. I can’t believe this is happening. Grabbing another test out of the box, I turn to the toilet. Just five more. Just five more then, I’ll be sure. There will be no debating it at that point.Looking down at the six pregnancy tests, I crumple into tears. Does the Goddess hate me for giving up my mate? For leaving? Should I go back?There’s a knock on the door. Wiping my eyes, I throw the tests into the trashcan. Wiping my
I blocked the link. I don’t want him to know that I know about Liv. My heart and head are in turmoil. I feel like I can’t breathe as I hang up the phone without saying a word. He already moved on. It’s the only thought I can focus on. He already moved on. He didn’t really love me.Vix trying to talk to me but I push her out. I robotically turn to the door and walk out into the hallway. Moving slowly, I walk into the kitchen. Mother looks up from her book, putting it down she moves over to me, without saying a word, she wraps her arms around me. I can’t hold bad the tears anymore. The dam breaks in my mind and all the emotions come flooding out. Mother doesn’t ask any question; she just holds me as I fall apart.After what feels like forever of crying, I run out of tears. Looking into her vibrant green eyes, I see tears for the first time in a long time. “Want to tell me what happened?”Taking in a shaky breath, I tell her about how I called and Liv answering.“How do you know there wa
The pain was steadily increasing as the time passed. But it still felt like I was a way out from getting this baby out of me. Aziel had called about an hour ago and said they landed, but I know it takes an hour to get from Dallas to us. They should be here any time now and I couldn’t wait to see Aziel’s face. Another hard contraction hit me, and I pulled my legs up to my chest, or at least what would be my chest if not for my stomach being in the way. Mother looked at me with concern. I think she was worried that this wasn’t moving as fast as she hoped, but it had only been four hours.We heard a loud knock from the front door. “I’ll be right back.” Mother said with a look at me. Walking out into the hallway, she cracked the door. I could hear her light footsteps fading away until they got to the front door. I heard her open in and a laugh.Kade’s voice reached me, his excited tone giving away how happy he was to be here. “Yeah. He’s been like that for a while now. Can’t figure out wh
Looking down I can see my babies head coming out. Mother had called for a midwife. And it happened soon after. Aziel was taking it like a boss, still holding my hand through it all. Once the baby was out the midwife, Claire turned to him. “Alpha, would you like to do the honors?” She had already clamped the cord off.He looked green as he gave a mumbled “yes”. And cut the cord. I never thought to ask him if he was okay with this part of birth.“Momma, we need skin time.” Came Claire’s voice. I opened my arms up to the baby. She laid the baby on my chest. “Are you ready for the sex?” Aziel and I looked at her with bated breath. “Alpha and Luna, you have a healthy… (This pause wasn’t needed) girl!”I looked at Aziel first, would he hate me for giving him a daughter. All he did was rub her head lightly with a “Perfect” on his lips. I smiled at him and looked down at our little girl.“What should we name her?”“What names did you have picked out?”Side-eyeing him, I couldn’t remember but
Hello, Future Generations. My name is Saber. I’m the current Queen-to-be of the Fox Skulk (Foxes have Skulks like wolves have packs). I understand if this is a new concept to you or if you think that this book you have found can’t be real. I mean, Fox Skulk? Fox Shifters? Magic? If you’re a normal human living your mundane life, I’m sorry, but I’m about to blow the lid off everything you know.At the time I write this journal I’m 22. Life is just starting. I’m from a small nowhere town in Texas. Texas is still a state, right? If not, please find an old map and educate yourself.So, to start, let’s cover all the questions I’m sure you’ve had:How do you and others (yes, there are other supernatural beings) stay hidden?Well, it’s rather simple. Most people don’t question that weird town your drive through. The rather tiny one. Maybe you’ll stop for gas there or get a bite to eat. The people are overly nice, but there’s just something about them. Something off that you just can’t seem t
Once more, the humans could be seen walking about in the open field. Having a campfire, dancing, and drinking are on the agenda. We didn't mind not being invited to any of their parties because they never invited any of us. We would intentionally mess with them when in fox form just to annoy them. Because it's hard to imagine somebody who wouldn't start to question their sanity if they saw a few foxes in a region where such animals aren't often seen. Something unusual can be said about this Texas town of modest size. We were all compelled to attend classes with the humans since there just weren't enough of us. The skulk had attempted to educate all of us at home, but because to the baby boom that occurred when I was three years old, this was no longer a viable option. We felt compelled to try to "fit in" with the other children who were human. They were able to pick up on the fact that something was off about us, which eventually led to us turning against them and them turning against
I couldn’t sleep. It was nagging at me that she could just send me away like this. All I’ve ever known is this skulk. All I’ve ever done is train to take it over and to be the best leader for everyone. My magic is strong, but I don’t know how I’ll fair in the world without back up.Vix, why would she do this to us? How does she think we’re going to manage alone? I ask my fox in a panic.You’re worrying too much. You have me and I’m all you’ll ever need. I could practically see her rolling her eyes at me.But what if something goes wrong and we get captured?By those mangy mutts? We’ll be fine, Saber. Go to sleep. We have a busy day today preparing for the upcoming journey. I could feel her curling up and getting comfortable in the back of my mind. She also slammed down the barrier between us for good measure. Apparently, she needs her beauty sleep more than she needs to help me work through this.I fluffed my pillow and tried to get comfortable. Falling into a fitful sleep, I still ha
