I reluctantly let go off Cyrus and started to swim. It felt so nice to move freely. Cyrus looked at me as I swam through the water. “Look at you go April. Fuck that’s cool.” After swimming for a while, we got out of the water and sat down in the shade. Oliver would be coming soon, but it was nice t
Cyrus’ pov It was still a lot to get used to, especially when I was at home I was thinking how fucking crazy my life had gotten. Every time I saw or talked to April I was reminded why I did this. I didn’t care one bit what she was, just that she was mine. Fuck she was so cool and beautiful and Oliv
Brooke growled, “we spend our whole lives hiding from humans for the exact reason as what those ‘doctors’ did to us. We knew they would experiment on us or worse. Humans are horrible.” I sighed, “I know some humans are dicks. I work at a goddamn shelter and I see what humans are capable off. I choo
April’s pov Cyrus and I would be leaving tomorrow to get fitted for my prosthetic, but Cyrus told me his brother and niece live nearby the city the hospital is at. He has visited his once or twice brother in ten years, but they talk and FaceTime. It’s not that far away, but I guess they both had a
“Fuck. You’re the only thing I’ll be thinking about all night.” “I really need to shower before heading to your brother. Will you join me?” I said seductively. “April. Why the fuck would you even ask me that. Yes!” he joked. I didn’t want our first time together to be in the shower, we’d have to
Cyrus’ pov Fuck fuck fuck. My parents could be so fucking mean. I could handle it by myself, but I really didn’t want them to say anything to April. Growing up they were so strict. Every grade had to be an A and I had to look and act perfect. They made everything into a fucking competition and me b
I handed her the crutches and she stood up. “Cyrus is too nice to say it, but you can all go and fuck yourself.” I laughed and walked out behind her. That’s my fucking woman. We walked to the car and she sat down still fuming. “Cyrus, I can’t believe your parents talked to you the way they did. Wh
April’s pov I couldn’t sleep. Cyrus was so tired, but my head was going wild. I did not plan to mark Cyrus at all. I didn’t regret it, I knew it would happen eventually, but I hadn’t discussed it with anyone. Not even with Thea and she wasn’t too happy about it. I ordered some room service, we ki
I noticed Cyrus wasn't swearing because all the kids were here. I knew it was hard for him to keep the fucks in. Jara smiled, “when I came out, I was so nervous. My parents always raised us to accept everyone, but what if the pack didn’t accept me? But my little brother Riker was perfect. He told m
The end. Lily’s pov It has been a year since Riker died. Mia is moving out next month and Damian and Kane will move in. Things are changing, life is moving on. But tonight we are looking back. Remembering Riker and the impact he had on our lives. Osiris had invited everyone that was important to
Osiris’ pov “I think you should make Damian the official Beta. He’s been doing Riker’s job for almost a year now and he deserves it.” Lily said. I shook my head, “it feels wrong. And what will happen to Mia and the kids? They’ve grown up here.” Lily sighed, “you know what’s wrong? Not rewarding D
Cyrus’ pov “Dad, I know you have a brother and a niece, uncle Joshua and Melanie. But any more family, I should know of. I have to make this fucking family tree.” Leia said. “Language.” April yelled from across the room. I still sometimes spoke to my brother, Josh and Melanie, but not as often as
Mia’s pov “Mom can you tell us again how you and dad met?” Sierra asked me. She and Roman looked at me filled with anticipation. I had promised I would tell them about Riker and me. What he was like when he was younger and how everything started. I had been avoiding it. Scared it would make me cry
Osiris’ pov “So what was the first time you felt like something was your fault?” Was I really doing this? Going to therapy? I thought I could just talk to Lily and Cyrus, but they seemed to think I need more help. That it’s not just Riker’s death, but everything that happened. I don’t mind therapy
Cyrus’ pov “I have barely seen him now, for three weeks. He works and then at night he goes out and patrols. He didn’t even attend the funeral. I am so worried.” “Luna Lily, I’m sure he’s okay. He’s just dealing with Beta Riker’s death in a different way.” April said, trying to calm Lily down. Li
Lily’s pov Once Asher was asleep, I got dressed and went downstairs. Mia had broken the news to Roman and everyone was crying. Sierra was still covered in blood and staring ahead. “How can I help?” I asked Arya. “Maybe that’s what you should ask Mia? See how you can help?” Arya advised. Mia was
“No Ashie. No Ashie. You’re not weak. It’s okay.” I felt thorn. I didn’t know if I needed to go help Mia and Sierra, or go home with my boy. Or go and look for Osiris. I took Asher’s hand in mine and we walked back to Mia. Jara was there, apparently Mia had mindlinked her. “Okay, Mia has someone
