2024-10-29 19:42:56I should have told Kam about the pregnancy test, and the miscarriage. I just didn’t want to disappoint him. He’s the perfect guy for me, and losing the baby, even though I hadn’t really had a chance to bond with it, was devastating. Knowing I may have caused it by shifting to get Kimi out of the holding cell, well, that was just shit icing on the bloody cake.
I knew Kam was disappointed when he found out what happened, but he was so sweet the morning after. We’d made plans to meet for lunch at the student union, and I was a little nervous. Would he still be annoyed? Still shocked? Will he resent me later?
I’d decided I wanted to meet him a little early, so I walked the path I figured he’d take to the student union from his class. I rounded a corner, and found one of my worst nightmares. Kam w

Graycorts Bk 3, Ch 53: Kimia
My brother is so dead. A large part of me wanted to just blindly agree with Rose that he’s cheating on her, but my common sense and knowledge of my womb buddy tells me there’s more to the story than what Rose saw.I still decided he needed a good smack after I’d dropped Rose back off at campus. I must have looked ferocious when I entered the apartment. Jimmy patted the backs of my brother and boyfriend, then escaped as fast as he could. That left me with my two favorite guys looking at me with apprehension.I dealt with my boyfriend first. “Nate, you’re safe.”“Oh, thank God,” he sighed relieved. He stood up and gave me a kiss before leaving the room.“So,”

Kam was a zombie for two days after Rose refused to come home. When he wasn’t staring into space, he was either morose or angry. Add in studying for finals, and I was ready to deck him when he was home. If he wasn’t studying or moping, he was out as a wolf to work out his emotions.After he left for class, slamming the door, I turned to my Kimi. “We need Rose back here, or I’m going to kill your brother.”She sighed. “I know, but I promised I wouldn’t interfere. She’s almost as bad as he is.”“I get why she’s hurting, but shouldn’t she have burned off her anger by now?” I asked. I’d never seen Rose this angry at someone before.Kimi

I burst into Kimi’s room and slammed the door behind me. “Your boyfriend is an ass,” I fumed at her.She was sitting cross legged on her bed with her computer and a notebook in front of her. “What else is new?” she said without looking up. “Welcome home.”“I hope he enjoys the couch tonight,” I continued to rage. I started pacing in front of her door.She still didn’t look up. “Why would he sleep on the couch? I’m not mad at him.”“Well, I’m not sharing a bed with him,” I declared.“I would hope not,” she said and wrote something in her

Finals week was finally over, and Christmas was coming up. I was so happy to be done with a semester! There were a few last minute things that had to be taken care of before my siblings, our friends, and I went home for the break. Planning our protest in January was one such thing.“Do you really think enough people will show?” Yelena asked nervously at our planning session the Saturday after finals.I nodded. “I really do. Saoirse has everything set up to advertise on the website.” I consulted my to-do list for the event. “We’ll need a date, posters, and maybe a station for people to make their own signs.”“All doable,” Andrea said, and noted it in the sorority planner. “What day does everyone think will work?&rdqu

Without Saoirse and Rachel, our trip to Aspen Falls was done in one van, all seven of us switching out driving, and one night in two hotel rooms. I shared a room with Ray and Rina. She didn’t find it amusing when I suggested we cuddle again.I have to admit that waking up knowing she was in my arms was pretty, well, unexpected. I had respected her decision to avoid guys that may want more than casual sex from her. I had a bad feeling that I’d be one of those guys. I’ve been attracted to her since I first laid eyes on her. She’s been running from me just as long.I’m also just not a cuddler. I know it’s not very wolf-like to dislike cuddling, but I am not usually a fan. I’d humor the few actual girlfriends I’d had over the years, as well as the good fuck, but when I wake up, I&rsqu

My mother greeted us at the door the minute we got home. “Here’s the rules for the next two weeks,” she started.“Do we need rules?” Rina asked with a smirk.Mom grinned. “Not you, dear. Unless you plan on sneaking out to meet a vampire, again.”Rina paled a little, but rose to the occasion. “Don’t worry, I broke that off.” She quickly ran up the stairs to put her shit in her room. “I’m going to go for a run,” she announced.“Now, for the rest of you sex addicts,” Mom turned back to the three of us left. “I don’t want you three sneaking out and jumping into bed with your other halves. Tonight, every one

“Ma,” I called as I entered her house, “I’m home for the holidays!”She came running out of the kitchen, and started to pelt my face with kisses. “Oh,” she squealed, “I missed you so much!”I laughed and hugged her back. “I missed you too, Ma. Where are the girls?”“Since Saoirse is with Rachel’s family,” Ma started to walk back to the kitchen, “lovely girl, by the way, the girls are staying with Jimmy and Nancy.”That surprised me. “So, I’m here with you, then.”“And I’m expecting Kimia to be sleeping in your room tomorrow,” s

The run in the snow was definitely needed if my mother was going to lay down rules about sex in the house. Ugh. I miss sex. I sort of want a boyfriend, but I just can’t do the emotional attachment that comes with them. Even the last two guys I slept with started to get clingy and wanted more than I was able to give them.Part of me is pissed at myself for actually asking Jimmy to sleep with me a few weeks ago. I was surprised when he told me that he’s actually sort of looking for something deeper than just sex. Then I woke up on his chest with his hand on my breast, so of course he didn’t let me live it down. Jerk.Still, I had a minor revenge by attacking him on my run. I may or may not have thoroughly enjoyed knocking him into a snow drift. The sound he made when I knocked into him was hilarious!&nb

“Fuck,” I swore as Ray kicked my ass at Mario Kart. Ray chuckled with both hands in the air. “Suck it, pup! I finally won for the first time since you were ten!”I tossed the controller and ran my hands over my face. Game nights at the frat house and losing to my brother were the least of my worries. Rose had been officially charged with manslaughter, and bailed out until her trial in a few weeks. At the advice of her lawyer, Rose and her mom signed a temporary lease at another apartment complex. Something about not sleeping with the victim’s family.“You are off your game, bro,” one of my frat brother’s slurred. “Nobody beats Kamron the Machine.”Ray bumped my shoulder. “He’s right. You’re stressing more than usual.”“Maybe because Rose has been avoiding me,” I sighed. Garrett, a sophomore, shook his head. “You must be reading too much into it. That girl is head over heels for you. She’s probably just overwhelmed with her trial and shit.”I shook my head. “I’ve known her my whole l

“Come on back, and we’ll have you give us a urine sample, then Rina will draw some blood samples to make sure your baby is okay,” Deb’s voice filtered through the office to my station. It’d been a little busier this month, but that was to be expected a few weeks after Spring Break. Lots of little surprises.“R-rina?” a familiar voice stammered. “Rina works here?” Elli and Deb rounded the corner to my space, and I had the sample cup ready with the alcohol wipes.“I sure do, Ellie,” I replied. “Congratulations. The bathroom is right through that door, and I’ll be here ready to draw your samples when you’re done.” I pointed to the door of the restroom where our expecting mothers give their samples every time they come in.Deb looked between us. “You two know each other?” I shrugged. “Small school, and we spent Spring Break together in Mexico.”Elli was pale and shaking a little as she grabbed the cup she was supposed to pee into, then made a b-line for the bathroom. Deb leaned over to m

“Now, Kimi,” Dr. Mayfeld started on our bi-monthly telesessino, “have you and Nate talked about finding a couples therapist to help the two of you transition into parenthood?”I shook my head. “Not yet. We will, but between school and my cousin’s demise, we haven’t exactly made it a priority.”“I understand,” she nodded. “I hate to say it, but you and your friends have gone through one hell of a year. Are you sure you aren’t cursed?”I laughed. “If I believed in curses, I might think that too. I mean, it is possible that Kirsten cursed us when she went to prison.”“Seriously,” she calmed down, but still smiled, &ldq

My parents knocked on our apartment door a few hours after we’d come home from the station. I really appreciated Kimi telling off Kam for me. It was the weirdest feeling. I was almost out of my body for most of the afternoon. It was a little surreal. I also both wanted to be hugged and cuddled, but I also wanted to be left alone.I kept thinking that it was my fault a person was dead. Yes, Matty was a horrible person who attacked me, but I didn’t want him dead! Call me optimistic, but I hoped for him to pay for his crimes, then come out a better person who had learned to respect others.I’d spent most of my time in my room, and barely registered when my mom walked in and sat on my bed. “Oh, my sweet Rose,” she sighed and pushed my curls out of my face. “I am so sorry you have to go thro

“Shit hit the fan, and I’m at my sister’s for a few days,” I explained to Elli over the phone.“I can’t believe all that has happened,” Elli replied. “Is Rose okay?”I sunk into my sister’s couch and sighed. “I honestly don’t know. They hadn’t returned by the time I cleared out. I hope her parents don’t find my room disgusting.”“Why wouldn’t they just get a hotel?” Elli asked.The question confused me. “I’m sure they could, but their daughter just killed a guy in self defense. She kinda needs all her family around her now.” Then a thought occurred to me. “Were you thinking about

“I want to see my fiance. I need to know she’s okay,” I shouted at the officer at the front desk of the police station.Kimi put a hand on my shoulder. “Kam, calm down. They have to go through the hoops. Besides, Officer West sounded like someone who is fair.”I spun to face my sister. “My fiance and your best friend is back there by herself, probably scared to death, and the only people available to her are people in our uncle’s pocket. I’m not going to calm down until I know she’s safe!”“Kam, you making a scene isn’t going to get her out here faster,” Nate tried to reason. He turned to the officer. “Is there someone who can come out and tell us what happened?”

Blake finally managed to push the door to the men’s room open. He broke the lock in the process, but the screaming he heard terrified him. He regretted not being faster when he observed the scene.A man was lying under a broken urinal with eye wide open, and unfocused. His jaw was slack, and a shocking amount of blood was pooled under his head. He looked back out into the hall, and grabbed a random student. “Call 911, and get someone here, now!”The student glanced into the bathroom. “Holy shit!”Blake carefully walked around the body to the woman shuddering in a ball against the wall of the open stall. “Hey,” he said gently. “Are you okay?” He reached a hand to her shoulder, and she flinched.

“Welcome back, everyone,” Professor Anderson greeted the class when she walked into the room. “I hope everyone had a fun, safe spring break? I see we’re still missing a few people. Hopefully they return before the next class. In the meantime, please go to the class webpage.”I already had it up, so I just scanned the page looking for what I expected her to click. I found it under the assessments tab. “I would hope you all are intelligent enough to find what I’d like you to do today, but in case you’re hung over, or not up to your best mental state, find the assessments tab, and click on the test titled, ‘Post Spring Break Quiz.’“The password is capital ‘I’ underscore, paid, underscore, too, with two ‘o’s, underscore, much, underscor

The apartment in Gayl was becoming more and more like home to me. Walking through the apartment door Sunday before school started felt like a weight was lifting off my shoulders. Granted, Kimi and I still needed to finish the nursery for our little girl, and we still had school, but we were happiest here. At least I was, anyway.I guess Kimi wasn’t as happy. She waddled into our room, and fell onto the bed on her back. “Ugh,” she grunted, “would you be offended if I said I miss the bed in Boston?”I chuckled. “Not at all. It was a damn comfortable bed..”“Much bigger than this full size one,” she said and rolled over so she could sit up. “I swear if this little girl gets much bigger, we’ll need a bigger bed.&r
