The next day was as busy as the day before. The kitchen installation and finishings were being completed, so V suggested that the children - along with their nanny, and eager assistant and driver, Antoine - stay over at "Auntie Di". And since Di's bungalow was now completely furnished and she had finished settling in, it was time to test how it would hold up to the "James and Rose" Seal of Approval.Once the twins were settled, V invited his mate to go to town and choose what other gadgets, decor, and items the new house may need. She had agreed, with the condition that all her purchases would still be included in the housing grant, and was now ushered into the passenger's seat by her very attentive and attractive boss/friend.Soon, they were already busily going from store to store in a more affluent shopping center. Everyone who noticed them could easily say that they were indeed a couple. They easily laughed and talked and were so comfortable in each other's company. There was no w
Merry Christmas, V, sighed Roth, trying so hard not to feel disappointed. Vince sighed along with his wolf and just stayed buried under his bed covers. There was no use in getting up if it was just gonna be another cold Christmas for him and his wolf. He tried not to think of what happened back there at his mate's house, but that was all that kept playing and replaying in his head.+++"OH MY GOD! NO, STAY AWAY! SHIT PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME!!! PLEEEEAAASSE!""Elena, it's still me, V. I would never think of hurting you… you're my mate… I told you before I transformed, right?"V's heart broke as he saw her cringing and shaking as she curled into a fetal position in one of the corners of her babies' room, where they chose to talk. It was truly, emotionally torturing to see the one and only love of his life run away from him in fear and terror.How other men would choose that reaction over caring and devotion is beyond me…+++Have we lost her V? Should we just give up now?"I hope not, Ro
MYRRH D. KEIZER“Create the worlds you wish existed. Welcome to Wonderland!”Originally a writer for textbooks, essays, and scripts for more than 30 years, Myrrh’s first published story was about her cat and it was featured in their school paper. She was six years old then and has never stopped creating tales that thrill, chill, and tantalize. She had worn many hats, such as being a mom of three, a teacher on various levels, a theater director, a trainer, and more. However, she will always choose writing as a passion and a career.She also suffered from a stroke about two years ago and is still presently unable to walk on her own.

"Will there be anything else, Sir?""No, Myron. That will be all, thank you. Please lock the door on your way out.""Of course, Sir, and goodnight.""Goodnight, Myron. Don't forget to bring your wife Raquel over. It is that time of year.""Yes, Sir, and thank you. See you tomorrow."Vince nodded at his still smiling boyish-looking personal assistant while thinking about the other things that are left to be done on their daily to-do list. He knew Myron was completely capable of fulfilling all the duties and responsibilities that were expected of him, but he knew that the man was already performing almost like a butler, and that was unfair, to be honest.After all, he was a loyal member of the pack and married, to boot. There were more things for him to take care of than just typing up letters, making appointments, and filing documents.I really should look for additional help. Probably my own executive secretary…He has heard the jokes made about him before by friends and fellow busine
It was the first day of December. The alarm on her phone started desperately screaming in her ear, so she shook off the tiredness of the long hours she had to work the previous days and the ones that she had ahead.A little over the sound of the ringing noise, she heard giggles that soon were accompanied by soft, cute voices.The reason for her trying every day had just woken up.Or more like, the reasons.And they giggled as their small feet hit the carpeted floor of the place they were renting. Siel could never sleep with her bedroom door closed. The little humans that inhabited the room right next to hers might need her, or even just might want to go and jump on top of her tired body as a good morning greeting.James and Rose were her twin toddlers, just turned three, and she still called them babies. They were truly her babies anyway.Even if they could already take their crayons to put a few letters together and draw basic figures, like the many drawings in the fridge that showed
"Hello there, Jonah. Good of you to see your children, but I really can't keep them up for too long.""And yes, Siel good evening to you, too. You really have quite a way with words. Is that how you should talk to me when we're in front of our kids?"The worn-out woman raggedly sighed at the tall, sinewy = man who had now stood and crossed his arms over his slender chest as he started to walk towards her slowly. She really didn't need this right now..."I hope this means you plan to send your children gifts this Christmas, at the very least.""My time is already a gift, Siel. You know how busy I am with my business and all."Busy at what? Every time you close a deal in your parent's construction company, you go straight and spend it in Vegas. Good lord, am I glad I'm no longer with you!"What did you say?"Oh God, did I just say that aloud? I must really be tired…"Nothing... anyway, I sincerely apologize but you really can't stay too long, Jonah. Feel free to come back on another day
Typically, Vince would not use the main entrance of the Silvercrest building because he had his own. It was located near his secret parking area in their skyscraper's basement for practical and security reasons.But today, he was feeling cheerful and spirited enough to actually enter the main entrance and use the common elevators.Besides he had a mission... And he was early to complete it, too.Not that he followed a time clock, but he did want to set an example for his employees. Hence, his regular attendance and daily punctuality at 7 A.M. on the dot when starting his workday. However, he decided to wait a few minutes as if in search of something… or someone. He hung out at one of the shops that rented space in their lounge area as he eyed the still small crowd of elevator passengers lining up in one of the ground floor hallways.Though he acted like he was interested in a row of fresh pastries that were displayed at the store's window, all his wolf's heightened senses were focusin
The morning started early, as usual, except that Siel was still carrying the disappointments and emotional scars of last night.With a little less motivation and a fake smile, she got the twins ready for the day, welcomed Nella, and left for work.Traffic didn't seem to agree with her either, as it took a while for her to get through her usual route. After all, it is that time of year..."At least, I still have a job, right?" she muttered to herself as she got out of her car.Her office day had officially begun, but she felt disconnected and distracted. Not even Di's cheerfulness or Raquel's perkiness was helping to improve her mood. Not even the never-ending requests of her boss were making her feel beyond her numbness.Surprisingly, she had enough time to go to the lounge area to buy ingredients for her personal cinnamon tea mix, one of her favorite comfort drinks. She even ate an apple strudel from one of the coffee shops nearby. But instead of making her happy, it just made her fe
