We all had exams coming up over the next few days and decided we would get together at Ryan's to study, relax, order some takeout, and maybe watch a movie later. I told Dez not to wait up when Ryan came to pick me up that morning, but I knew he would, he always did.
Ryan drove us all straight to his house after school, his parents were out of town for the weekend so I was thankful that Jane and Matt were here with us. We all spent a few hours studying and quizzing each other back and forth before the pizza arrived and prompted a well-needed break.
Ryan and Matt followed it up by playing some game on his Playstation, while Jane was telling me about this guy she's into at school and her plan to catch his attention before the winter formal. It didn't surprise me much to learn that he had a girlfriend already, Jane was one of those girls who thought t
I could feel my tears forming in my eyes, thinking he would do this again and it actually happening were so different. He assumed I didn’t know how to fight back when in reality I could have laid him out flat by now and left him a sobbing mess, but I didn’t want to be that person. "Get off me before I break your face Ryan," I spat through my teeth at him with a tensed jaw, I didn’t want this to escalate but he was taking things too far. He hadn’t noticed or didn’t care that I was giving clear signs I didn’t want him to touch me. “Before you what?” He grabbed my chin in one of his hands as his eyes darted back and forth over mine. I had never spoken to him like that, and he didn’t know what to do. “I want to go home,” was all I said back to him. “No one’s
The next morning was exhausting, the exam really drained me more than I thought it would, although it’s possible that this looming conversation with Ryan was the culprit. When I turned the corner to the field Ryan was already sitting on the bleachers, running his hand through his blonde hair, which he never did. He was looking at the ground, and I felt guilty for a second for how rough he looked. “Hey,” I squeaked out as I climbed up to him. “You came!” He jumped up and pulled me into him. “I said I would,” I pushed him back a bit and sat down, “what did you want to talk about?” “You know I’m sorry,” he started, “but I just don’t understand babe, like why you won’t have sex with me anymore, why yo
Dez ended up finding us a place fairly quickly, said he found a smaller city that needed another gym but they wanted someone in the space ASAP. We ended up moving just after Halloween, it was a full day of driving but as soon as we left I felt lighter. Dez looked happy, and I was glad that we could do this, we both needed a fresh start. Our new place was on the edge of the city, the houses were spaced out a bit more and it was surrounded by a beautiful tree line. The house itself was amazing, the driveway was large enough for two vehicles, and when you walked in the front there was a large entranceway with another set of doors that led into the house. There were stairs that led both up and down, where if you went up to the left you would find the living room, and if you went right there was a hallway that led you to the kitchen and dining room and then carried on to the bathroom and two bedrooms. The base
"I'm, I'm so sorry," I stuttered as I realized the thing I ran into was actually a person. I looked up to see a tall man in a suit with brown eyes so light in the middle it was almost golden. "It's fine," his voice was monotone as it ripped me from my embarrassing trance and he stepped to the side and kept walking completely unphased. I found their building not too far from where I was, the front was basically a giant window, which would be awesome for them in terms of advertising what they are, and drawing people in. Dez and Nathan seemed deep in conversation, I paused and debated going in at all, but I couldn't help wondering if all the men here were going to be this handsome. Nathan was no exception with his bright blue eyes, strong jawline, and dirty blonde hair that was short on the sides, but long enough to swoop slightly over on top.
“I promised Dez,” I started as I put my hands in between us and gently pushed on his chest, backing him up. “Ugh,” he sighed, taking another step back and running his hands through his hair, “me too.” I was glad for Dez’s interference at this moment because I don’t know what I’d be doing if he hadn’t said anything to us. It was different with Nathan, it seemed easier to feel attracted to him and he never got upset when I pulled away, he just accepted it. We went back inside for a bit before Lilly, the only one of us who chose to stay sober, offered to drive some of us home. Lilly always looked serious and intimidating with how gorgeous she was, she truly looked like a model, flawless and edgy, you’d never know how sweet she was. She acted like she was the one who was intimidated by me, handing me comp
“Yea, well, my last relationship ended kinda messy before we moved,” I started before Savannah could push the Nathan subject more, “I don’t think I want to jump into another one, and Nathan’s nice, but he’s also Dez’s business partner. Plus, Dez already gave both of us the talk about not starting anything with each other, soooo… that’s not happening.”“Nathan is pretty obsessed with you,” she started as she looked half sympathetic over the whole messy situation but crushed my hopes that she would drop the subject, “I don’t think a talk from Dez is gonna stop him. Him and Mike have been friends forever, and Mike told me that every conversation leads back to you.”“Exactly,” I said, “imagine things not going well, it would mess up friendships, their work,
The next couple of days seemed to fly by, Dez was so busy at the gym and I had a bunch of papers due soon for school that I was laser-focused on until they were done. I was in town on and off to go into work, I had to do some filing in the office and pick up a laptop to be able to remote in from home when needed. Savannah had tried to message me a few times just to hang out, but I pushed her off hoping she would understand, and it wouldn’t ruin how things were going between us.I was trying to put the finishing touches on a paper when there was a knock at the door, but when I opened it, I wished I wouldn’t have. Connor was leaning against the door frame, in much more casual attir
When I went upstairs, Dez was looking pretty sharp, “Going out?” I questioned him.“Maybe,” he shrugged, “Nathan suggested I come out with him tonight, is that where you’re going?”“Mmm-hmm, Savannah is picking me up right away, but you should come, it’ll do you good,” I smiled at him.“Well, if I come it’ll be a bit later, but have fun, be careful,” he said as he nodded out the front window to Savannah’s vehicle pulling up.“Love ya!” I shouted as I closed the door behind me and made my way to the vehicle, climbing into the back with Lilly, thankfully the guys were all going separately later.

“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,&
