3rd Person POVIt’s now Wednesday and Mocha Munchies is now closed for the day. The three girl friends work at the shelter tonight. Lyric awaits impatiently for the text results from her appointment from the previous day. They needed about 24 hours for them to complete the tests. So long as she comes back clean, she’s in the clear. The night at the club will be behind her finally. She dealt with everything else, like if she even became pregnant and also dealt with the man himself. Telling him that that night is in the past now and we can move on separately, though she won’t admit it, she’s disappointed about it. She’s not sure why though since she knows nothing about the man, but the fact he’s intimidating, handsome, and seems like he requires submission. A part of Lyric wants to give that to him but another part would rather fight tooth and nail over it. She’s not sure what she was expecting anyway out of the encounter. Lyric as sure all he wanted was a one night stand with anyone wh

Lynx POVI have never been so at a loss for words before. I’m the talkative, always fill in the silence, type. I’m not shy, but I’ve never had a reason to be. Luka, my wolf, has been berating me since we got here. Basically, I should have laid my claim to her as soon as I laid eyes on her. He’s angry because he doesn’t understand why I haven’t. What a barbarian. He doesn’t understand I can’t just throw her over my shoulder and leave which is exactly what he wants me to do.When Bayne looked into Lyric’s social media and the three seemed as thick as thieves, he looked into theirs as well. Kinsey only ever seems to post life events or advertising for business for her meal on wheels vendor. It’s supposed to be a great place to eat and help the needy at the same time. The funds keep the shelter in business. Instead of just giving money to homeless people on the street, which a lot of people are uncomfortable doing since they don’t know if that money is going to feed an addiction instead

Kinsey POVIt’s 10:00am now and I’m preparing the dishes for lunch for the hungry. Today I’m making homemade tomato basil soup with grilled cheese with a side salad and some pudding cups. I don’t have the help for breakfast or lunch like I do for dinner so everything is premade and wrapped. My guests know the drill by now. They help themselves to what they want and find their own seats. I don’t even need to be here for it. Luckily, its not as busy during the day as it usually is at night since most patrons are either at work or looking for work.“Good morning, pretty lady. And how are you this fine morning?” One of the patrons, Charles, came up to ask me.“Good morning,, Charles. I’m good today. How is your knee feeling? Did you make an appointment for the doctor yet?” I asked him. It’s the same small talk everyday. He’s had I t rough the past few years since his wife past away. He’s an older gentlemen with African American traits and silver hair. He’s always been nice if not sl

Bayne POV I took the tray of coffees and muffins over to the table for us to enjoy while we talked about any ongoing theories and new suspicions. My wolf Knox is all over the place inside my head, spouting nonsense I can’t understand since he wont calm down. Ryker started us off. “What do we think?” “She hasn’t said anything incriminating. I haven’t scented a lie. Only disappointment in her boyfriend.” My wolf growls in my head at that. Then he says the one thing I least expected him to say as I take a quick glance over and smile toward her. “Mine.” I tune out to have an internal exchange with Knox. “What did you just say?”” “Mine.” He repeated. “Who?” “Mate. Standing right there.” “You gotta be F-ing kidding me.” “We must go talk to her.” “What? I cant. You do realize she is a suspect in a multiple missing persons case, and you want me to blow my cover to talk to her.” “She’s innocent. How dare you accuse our mate of such a thing.” Knox says, growling. “Fine, whatever. S

3rd Person POV Paityn is happily working in her little cafe, Mocha Munchies. She felt she was exactly where she wanted to be in life. This was her dream, a dream come true. So why does she feel so empty? Paityn thought reaching her dreams would fill tha emptiness. She refuses to believe it’s because she just needed someone to share it with. Yes, she has Eric, but if Paityn is honest with herself, she’s only wit him so she doesn’t feel so lonely. Yes, she has lyric and Kinsey as well. Her sister and best friends. She loves them, but… yes, there was always a but. She wants to be loved on a level they are not capable of. They can’t satisfy her needs. Which, of course, Eric doesn’t either. She should just end it so she’s not leading him on. It’s not like it would be hard for him to move on. He had his eyes on the waitress practically the whole night we were at the club, to celebrate MY birthday. After I finish restocking from the morning rush, I helped out the few more late customers we

3rd person POV It’s only Tuesday morning and Lyric already can’t wait for the week to be over. The three friends, Lyric, Paityn, and Kinsey had fun the night before during their girls night. They put in a random movie and binged on popcorn and ice cream, though barely watched any of it, preferring to chat about life drama, careers, and of course, boys. During which time Kinsey and Paityn decided to pick on Lyric about her one night stand. Not long after, she bailed on preference for her quiet, warm and cozy bed. Safe to say it was not a dreamless sleep. All night long, Lyric was haunted by the most vivid of dreams containing the mystery man from the club. It seems even her subconscious can’t get him out of her head. She awoke too hot, covered in sweat, with the most sensitive skin. Even the blanket brushing against her was too much. Still not feeling back to her usual self on this extra warm Tuesday morning, Lyric popped two pain relievers and readied herself for work. Just becaus
