“What is your plan exactly Brianna,” Dez’s tone was already hurting my feelings, “to just lead every guy on in town and then what? You don’t think it’s going to have repercussions?”
I sat there stunned as he fired more questions at me, “You think I want to up and move every six months when your life doesn’t turn out as planned and you don’t want to deal with the people you’ve hurt anymore? You think I enjoy watching my baby sister flaunt herself out there to anyone who shows her attention? It’s like you think this is a game, it’s not. You’re fucking around with people’s feelings Brianna.”
All of his words flew around in my head with shock and anger, I felt like I was vibrating inside as tears streamed down my face on their own accord. Did Nathan get up
When I got in, he had already picked up coffees and drove us to a place by the path we ran on, leading me to a little area that branched off and had a few benches with a tiny swing set.“I thought we could talk here, a little more private than a busy coffee shop, fewer interruptions,” he sounded worried that I was going to object to the idea.“It’s perfect,” I smiled, “and thanks for this,” I motioned to my coffee, “it’s just how I like it.”“Look,” he started and was slightly fidgeting with his hand around his cup, “I wanted to apologize for last night, I uh, clearly wasn’t all that sober and that’s not the impression I wanted to give you.”“Oh,” I sai
“There is no situation, Connor is… Connor,” I laughed, “that day you sent him over, do you know where he took me?”“Who knows,” she scoffed, “it’s Connor.”“A rage room,” I paused and nodded at her when she looked at me in disbelief, “but it was actually super fun. I’m sure he just assumed it would be interesting to see what I would do, he made me sign the waiver without knowing what I was signing, BUT it helped get a bunch of anger and stuff out that I was holding onto from being with my ex.”“Please promise me you will never sign anything else Connor asks you to sign blindly,” she scolded me.
“Well now I know not to pick a fight with you,” Nathan joked as we settled outside.“You still wanna talk?” I tried to redirect the conversation so we could get it over with.“Yea,” he sat up a bit straighter, “I wanted to apologize, I know I haven’t been very accepting of you telling me not to pursue things between us. It doesn’t change how I feel about wishing there was something, but I’ll try and back off unless you tell me otherwise.”“I think we get along great Nathan, and it’s not that I’m not attracted to you, I just don’t think it’s a good idea when you and Dez are in business together. Maybe nothing happens now, in a year, in two, but if it went sour – that’s g
Xander: Hey, hope your week is going great. Given any more thought to letting me take you out of town for a few days?Me to Xander: I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little confused after you left the pub last weekend the way you did. Thanks by the way, for covering our tab, but it wasn’t necessary.His message surprised me, and I wasn’t sure how Dez was going to react still, plus I didn’t want to be the reason he missed Christmas things with his family who all lived around him. He was so hot and cold, and after everything with Connor, I just wasn’t sure about anything anymore.I woke up to Dez making pancakes, the smell was unmistakable and mouth watering as it carried down into my room. I tore myself from bed faster than normal, and when I got upstairs he pull
“Hey,” I tried to hide the raspiness in my voice from crying when I answered Xander's call.“Hey, how are you?” His voice was so deep and smooth that my insides were already melting.“I’m good, thanks, and you?”“Better now,” he paused, “I hope you weren’t upset that I sent you flowers.”“You sent…” Dez was dead, “hey can you hang on just a second?” I muted it the second he said yes and stormed into the other room, I know Dez didn’t approve, and this was something he would do.“Seriously?” I was leaning forwards with a hand on my hip as Dez was suddenly walking up the stairs.
I went inside and tried to calm down before I called Savannah. I sent her some pics of the floral arrangement and gushed with her a bit over it before talking about random things to get my mind off all the Dez drama this morning.She told me about a few houses her and Mike had found, asked my opinion on some layout issues, but overall she hadn’t loved any of the houses, so she was still in the air. I offered to come over on Christmas Eve to help her with anything she needed for the party, but she just wanted people to show up and enjoy it. I asked her if Connor was coming, and she thought he would, but she was surprised by his reactions when I told her about my run-in with him.If Dez came home that night, I didn’t hear him, and he was gone before I woke up. This was the first time he was actively avoiding me and it hurt, all I wanted wa
The pain in my chest was mounting, it felt like the night we found out that dad died like my chest stopped moving on its own, trying to convince itself that if it didn’t breathe, it couldn’t feel pain, but when I took the next breath, all the pain that had mounted would flood in and spread through my whole body.I could hear a clicking sound behind me, right before a small voice called out for me to wait. When I turned around, Lilly was trying to catch up to me, and when she got close she wrapped a coat around me and helped me walk, asking me where the house was but we didn’t have far to go. She helped me inside and down to my room, putting a bottle of water by the bed as she sat on the edge of it and stroked the hair out of my face before she ran her hands up and down my back lightly.
It only took about an hour to get to the town he said he lived in, it was small but extravagant. All of the houses were spaced amongst the thick tree line, and they looked like a mixture of old homes that had been taken care of throughout the years and new builds. Even the older houses with character were all two stories and large enough to hold five or more bedrooms. He told me his family came from money, but his house was truly a sight to see. The kind with a huge gate that led down a long tree lined path and ended with a massive driveway that sat in front of the house. His house was easily four of the other ones I had seen put together, and judging by the windows, five stories. Xander got out and opened my door, holding out his arm for me to

“Today?” Xander’s tone was bordering on angry in his surprise, making the twins squirm. “Tell us,” Alaric was surprisingly calm, and I was hoping that it was his genuine emotion. “We want them all to be raised together don’t we?” I asked and they all nodded immediately, “No differences? Because if that’s changed, you need to tell me right now.” “No differences Precious,” Xander was back to being himself, “that’s what we decided and nothing has changed. We want them to be raised together, rule together, and for everyone to regard the new Phoenix as a member of the royal family.” “Right,” Alaric picked up the conversation, “only our parents and Second’s will know that they are a Phoenix until we can’t keep it a secret any longer.”
“Dezzy… you better link some people,” Logan was scooping under my arms to keep me upright as Dez took in what was happening, trying to take me to the couch. “I’m NOT sitting,” I half snapped out. “Logan, go wait outside please,” Dez looked a bit terrified, “you don’t want to be anywhere near her when the kings get back.” “I’m not… I’m not ready Dez,” the tears started to roll down my face. “You’re strong Love, you-” “NO!” I interrupted him as another wave of pain started to creep around my stomach, “Connor…” I tried to wipe my tears before the boys got back, “I didn’t think it was going to be this hard to let him go, and he’s not even gone yet.” “Love,” Dez grasp
** 9 months later** “It’s hard to believe I found out I was a royal a year ago already,” I smirked up at Connor as we watched the sun slip behind the trees. “I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a grasp on time,” Connor kissed the top of my head as he continued to brush through my wet hair from behind me, his legs perched on either side of me as we sat staggered on the steps. I would miss this, I would miss him, and an annoyingly familiar pressure started to build in my chest. “I’m not ready,” I could feel the tears building in my eyes, not a huge surprise lately, it felt like that’s all I ever did was cry. “You are,” Connor tilted my chin up to look at him, “you’re going to be an amazing mother Brianna, and the next Phoenix couldn’t have lucked out better havi
“Shh Sugar, you’re ok, we’re here,” he lifted my chin and locked eyes with me, his golden hues grounding me and his sparks soothed me, “she doesn’t need you right now Artemis.”Alaric and Xander surrounded me, the perfect storm of my mates back in place as I let their scents bring me back to safety. Connor’s fire was nothing compared to Alaric’s. His smokiness filled my senses and drifted through me as it connected with Xander’s warmth and Wyatt’s sweet dew that lifted my mood.‘Tell us,’ Alaric linked the four of us.‘I don’t know where to start,’ I let my hands drift up Wyatt’s shirt, and he pulled it off so
“I know it’s a lot to ask,” Connor started with a pained look spreading across his features, and he stared between the boys, “but Brianna being my Keeper is nothing sexual in nature. My phoenix is losing his shit wanting to feel her touch, they are super affectionate creatures and she’s connected to us, may I?” He held out his hand but the boys hesitated, “Would it be better if he was in shifted form? Once I shift back we can discuss what being my Keeper means.”“Shifted,” Wyatt grit out through his clenched teeth. I could tell that he could feel the pull as well, but him and Alaric were having a harder time reconciling that information than Xander was.“Close your eyes Doll,” Connor winked at me as he started undressing, “or don’t,” he laughed wildly as the boys sco
** Two months after the council meeting ** “Bob Ross would be proud Dearest,” I smirked over at Alaric as I caught a glimpse at his sketch. He was surprisingly talented, although I wasn’t sure I was surprised anymore. It seemed like everything he set his mind to, he became talented in. His level of control and perfectionism coupling his desire to master things perfectly. “I very much doubt that my Dear,” he smirked at me, “but thank you,” he leaned over and kissed the side of my head. I loved these moments with him, where we laid on a blanket over the grass on our stomachs, sketching the tree line and he was relaxed and casual. “We’re about to be interrupted,” I whispered, and without warning Alaric tackled me into the grass, crashing his lips against mine in such a hot, wild, mess that had me moaning
“I assume you’re all familiar with each other at this point,” Wyatt started as soon as the door had closed, “we have a matter to discuss before you are released.” Several of them rearranged themselves to sit next to one another leaving space for me and the boys to sit together with them at the table.“Alpha Samuel is on-premise,” Xander took over, “he denied our right to take our Goddess-given mate as our Luna over our betrothal agreement to the extent of bringing a war to our territory.”“He demanded we kill our mate,” Alaric had a hard time gritting that sentence out, “we have since stripped him of his Alpha status and placed him in the care of Alpha Jason of Red Rock, a smaller pack that borders Moon Valley.”“Speak freely,&
