Midnight On The Bayou 101
Gathering our shower supplies, we headed to the master bathroom, a decision born out of necessity as much as a compromise. Kael's mobility was limited, and Ky's injured shoulder still hampered him. Knox and I's support was not just welcome but necessary, a silent acknowledgment of our interdependence in these moments.Post-shower, after we dressed, Knox guided Kael to the office chair at his desk. Ky and Knox dismantled the makeshift pillow nest that had become a symbol of our collective healing the night before. I chose to stay by Kael's side in the office, aiding him in the meticulous task of reorganizing the chaos his seizure had wrought upon his workspace."We need to get Fabian in here soon so he can do the spell. That way, you all will know if I'm having a seizure again," Kael remarked. I nodded in agreement. The prospect of having a reliable way to monitor his condition was comforting.Kael caught the attention of an Omega walking past the office. "Could you fetch Fabian for us

Later in the day, Missy ventured into my office, her eyes widening in surprise at the transformation it had undergone. "It took me almost a year to get everything set up in here because we didn't have many Omegas back then for extras, and Gerald was so busy," she shared.I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, with the three of them, I really don't even need Omegas. They seem to want to take care of just about everything, and one always seems to be free to be with me," I explained, marveling at the ease and efficiency of our new routine.Missy smiled. "You don't think that is by design, do you?" she asked.The thought hadn't crossed my mind before, but I realized she had a point as I considered it. There was always one of them with me, a constant presence I had come to rely on. Was this their way of ensuring I was never alone, a systematic approach to almost 'babysitting' me? The idea was both amusing and slightly unsettling.Laughing off the notion, I replied, "No, I don't think they are..

As the door to Knox's room in the master suite closed behind us, the space between us evaporated. Our movements were a symphony of desire and affection, hands roaming, lips meeting, fingers intertwining, and tongues in a delicate dance of exploration. It was a whirlwind of sensation, each touch sparking a new feeling in me.Our laughter broke through the intensity of the moment, a shared delight amid passion. Knox's height difference turned comical, as he had to bend almost entirely at the waist to allow me to pull his shirt over his head. Our kisses, deep and consuming, led us in a dance toward the edge of the bed. With a gentle nudge, I encouraged Knox to sit, then pushed him back until he was lying down, his eyes locked on mine. Kneeling in front of him, I allowed my fingers to embark on an exploratory journey across the landscape of his body.Starting at his abdomen, I traced the lines of his muscles, marveling at the strength beneath his skin. My touch was light, a whisper again

Knox's surrender to the moment was complete as he collapsed onto the bed beside me, his breaths heavy, a testament to the depths of ecstasy we'd explored together. The air between us was charged, filled with the aftermath of our passion. I rolled toward him, our lips meeting in a tender kiss filled with the remnants of our earlier intensity. "I love you," he breathed into the kiss, his words weaving into the very fabric of our connection. As the moment stretched between us, Knox's gaze wandered until it found his shirt. With a casual grace, he leaned over the side of the bed to retrieve it, pulling it over his head before drawing me into his arms, a gesture that blended care with a sense of normalcy. "Why do you always do that?" I asked, laughter bubbling up from within. His puzzled look prompted me to clarify, "Put your shirt on, after..." "Honestly, I didn't think about it. It was an automatic response, I guess. If Kael or Ky were to come in here right now, at least you have so

Knox's stirring broke the contemplative silence. His tired eyes took in the room before landing on us. "What the hell, it's almost 10," he exclaimed, his surprise evident as he registered the time. Kael, seemingly unaffected, responded, "Yeah, you looked like you could use the rest." He acknowledged Knox's weariness and the unexpected respite I had somehow brought. Knox stretched and yawned loudly. His movements were still sluggish with the remnants of sleep as he stood and walked over to me. He leaned down, kissed my forehead, and whispered, "I'll see you later." He grabbed a water bottle and left Kael and me to our own devices. Following Knox's departure, Kael and I retreated to his room. The bed beckoned. In this charged instant, when the moment was thick with unspoken desires and a longing for closeness, I decided. Leaning in, I began to kiss along his stomach, each touch a silent declaration of my thoughts, an invitation to explore the depths of our connection without restr

Glancing at the clock, I realized it was nearing midnight. "You should put some clothes on. Ky will be back soon," I mentioned, half-reluctant to break the bubble of intimacy we'd created. Kael gave me a playful pout in response, but he complied, dressing quickly before we headed out to the kitchen together to await Ky's return from patrol.Perched on the bar, with Kael standing close in front of me, we fell into an easy rhythm of kisses and playful banter. We teased each other, laughter mixing with the soft sounds of our affection.Then, as if on cue, Ky walked in. The room shifted immediately, our playful bubble making room for another presence, another part of our intricate dynamic.As Ky approached, he positioned himself on the opposite side of the bar, and with a playful yet very much deliberate move, he pulled me backward, causing me to lean back against him for a kiss. This left me stretched out over the bar, caught between him and Kael, who remained standing in front of me, h

Waking up the following day was like emerging from a dream into a scene charged with suspense and revelation. Fabian's voice immediately caught my attention. I noticed the door was almost closed, and a sliver of curiosity wedged into my thoughts. Knox and Ky were still clearly asleep, allowing me to carefully extricate myself from between them without disturbing them.Creeping silently towards the door, curiosity and a tinge of fear coursed through me. As I leaned in closer, the fragmented pieces of Kael and Fabian's conversation pieced together into a revelation that chilled me to the core. They were dissecting Kael and Fletcher's intertwined fates, delving into the dark magic that had bound their lives together in such a twisted way.Fabian laid out his findings with a tone of professional detachment yet an underlying concern. "I mean, I'm still working on it. I'm not 100% yet... but yeah, man, I'm leaning towards he was responsible. No idea how, but he was intricately tied to the

The enticing aroma of breakfast cooking in the main house wafted towards us. Knowing Knox was still lost in the few precious hours of sleep he managed to snatch, I left a note beside him. It was a gentle promise that we would save a plate for him, ensuring he wouldn't miss out on the morning's feast.As I penned the note, Kael peered over my shoulder, a playful glint in his eyes. "And put on it that we're going swimming after," he added."Swimming?" I echoed, the thought catching me by surprise. "Can we?"His laughter was light and filled with effortless joy. "The pool is heated, come on."The idea of a morning swim, a seamless blend of relaxation and invigoration, seemed suddenly perfect. Gliding through the warm waters, with the cool morning air brushing our skin, promised a refreshing start to our day. It was a simple plan, yet it encapsulated the spontaneity and small joys we often found ourselves weaving into the fabric of our daily lives.Heading to the pool required a quick cha

Midnight On The Bayou 189. (KNOX POV)
(KNOX POV)Teddy called later that day. I could hear the hesitation in his voice, which was rare for him. "Knox, I just heard Essie's been seen near the old rogue housing units by the beach. They said she is staying in the stray house near the edge," he told me. He didn't have to say more. I knew exactly where he meant.It was the same place I had taken her before when things were spiraling out of control.I didn't want to bring anyone with me, especially not Sky. The memories of how deep I had fallen, how Burk and Fletcher manipulated me into that dark pit of sex addiction, were too raw. She didn't need to see that side of me. No one did. This was something I had to face alone.The truck's engine roared to life, the same one I'd driven that night years ago. I prayed she'd recognize the truck, which would trigger something in her or at least make her talk to me about that night.As I pulled up to the house, my heart pounded against my ribs. The place looked as rundown as ever. I sa
Midnight On The Bayou 188. (KNOX POV)
(KNOX POV)Sitting at the kitchen table, my phone buzzed with a notification. It was a message from the pediatrician's office about Oxxy's upcoming surgery. They asked about insurance information and the final payment arrangements. I didn't hesitate to respond that I'd pay cash. Money wasn't an issue when it came to Oxxy's well-being.The reply came almost immediately, but it wasn't what I expected. They mentioned needing some papers signed and, since I wasn't the custodial parent, they would need his mom's signature to proceed.My heart sank. I stared at the message, trying not to panic. The thought of needing Essie's involvement made my stomach twist. She had been out of the picture after running away from the rehab, and now they were saying we needed her? It felt like a slap in the face.Sky entered the room and noticed the strain in my posture. "What's wrong?" I didn't say anything, just handed her the phone. After reading the message, she sighed and ran her fingers through my

(KNOX POV)"We found him."The delta's voice crackled over the radio, and everything around me seemed to freeze. Still, I couldn't fully relax. I needed to see him with my own eyes. Needed to know he was safe."Where?" I shouted into the radio, desperation pushing my voice louder than intended."By the pond," came the reply. "He's just sitting there, Knox. You need to get down here."I didn't wait for more information. I shifted and sprinted through the woods, driven by the overwhelming need to reach him. My heart raced, thoughts spiraling through every possible scenario. The idea of him being out there all alone and the what-could-have-happened scenarios if we hadn't found him made me sick to my stomach.Seeing him nearly brought me to my knees as I reached the pond. He was perched on a large rock, his little legs swinging back and forth like he hadn't just scared us all half to death. Relief hit me so hard that I almost stumbled, but I kept moving."Oxxy!" I called out, rushing tow
Midnight On The Bayou 186. (KNOX POV)
(KNOX POV)As soon as I returned to the house, the pressure hit me like a physical force. Something was wrong. Really wrong. The packhouse was eerily quiet. I barely had time to process the change from dead still to chaos before Ky rushed up to me, panic radiating off him."Knox, we lost Oxxy."That knocked the wind out of me. My heart started pounding so hard it felt like it might burst. "What do you mean you lost him? How could you let him out of your sight?" The panic in my voice was undeniable, but I couldn't help it. The fear was already taking over, squeezing at my chest like a vise.Ky's eyes were wide with fear. "I'm sorry, I just... I turned around for a second, and he was gone. I thought he was just running back to the house, but he's nowhere Knox. We can't find him. Where the hell could he have gone? It was less than a minute."The blood drained from my face as the reality of what he was saying hit me. Oxxy was missing. I immediately jumped to the worst possible scenari
Midnight On The Bayou 185. (KY POV)
( KY POV )I watched Cassy practically force Teddy into his truck after she tossed Phin in the back seat. I stepped toward her, hoping to say something that might calm her down. Before I could say anything, she spun around. "Before you lecture me, you need to go talk to your two lookalikes inside before I kill them!" she yelled.She quickly caught herself and apologized. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, Ky. It's just... They need to get their shit together. This isn't the time to act like kids."I sighed, taking a few deep breaths before heading inside. If I was being honest, I was tired of it too. We had three kids now, and this constant chaos couldn't keep happening. We had to figure out how to handle this before it tore us apart. Or they had to grow up in the kinds of messes we did. As I made my way to the packhouse, my thoughts drifted back to Naomi. I had been in love with her for nearly a decade. We were marked and bonded, and I was ready to spend my life with her. But then she
Midnight On The Bayou 184. (SKY POV)
SKY POVI was doing everything I could to help Knox handle Oxxy, but it felt like trying to put a band-aid on a gaping wound. Knox was beyond frustrated with himself for allowing Oxxy to see the fight and hear everything accidentally. After sending Oxxy to his room to gather his cars so they could play together on the porch, he paced the room."I can't believe I let him see that, Sky," Knox muttered. "He's just a kid. He shouldn't have to deal with this damn mess."I watched as he tried to pull himself together, knowing how much this was tearing him apart. I reached out, taking his hand. "We'll make it right, Knox. We'll make sure Oxxy knows he's safe with us. He seemed okay?"Before he could respond, the door opened, and Kael stormed in. "What the hell happened?"Knox didn't hesitate. "Phin said his Dad used black magic to block finding out who Oxxy's father is. We got into it. Cassy left to drive Phin and Teddy back to the Bayou land.""She drove them back? Alone? As volatile as the

(KNOX POV)We returned from the run, but what we needed to do was still heavy on my mind. As we approached the packhouse, I braced myself for the conversation with Cassy. I knew she wouldn't want to hear anything about Teddy's past, especially when it involved someone else, but we couldn't avoid it any longer.When we walked into the living room, Cassy was already on edge. I could see how she held herself, tense and ready for a fight. "Cassy, we need to talk," I started, trying to ease into it.She didn't give me an inch. "About what?" she asked, her arms crossed defensively."It's about Oxxy… and Teddy, and everything that happened," I said, knowing this wouldn't go well no matter how I worded it."I don't want to talk about Teddy being with someone else, Knox. I can't.""I get it, Cass," I stated. "But we need to figure this out for Oxxy's sake. Wouldn't you want to know if he was the... Wouldn't you care?"She stared at me, anger flashing in her eyes as she started to pace. "You th

KNOX POVSky found me asleep on the floor in Oxxy's room, curled up beside his bed like a helpless puppy guarding his toy. I had one arm draped over his small body, trying to offer comfort. Probably more for me than him. He was content, totally unaware of my messy thoughts. I hoped it would always remain that way. He'd been through enough already to have to also handle adults with big emotions.Oxxy was snuggled up in his bed, his tiny malnourished body barely taking up any space, his breathing even and calm. I didn't know how long I'd been there, but it must've been a while because the hard floor beneath me was making my back scream."Knox," Sky whispered as she knelt beside me. "Do you want to go for a run? I think it will do you some good."I blinked awake, my eyes heavy with exhaustion. I knew she was right. I needed to clear my head. "Yeah," I muttered, rubbing my eyes. "Let's go. But don't wake the other two." The last thing I wanted was for Kael and Ky to join us. I needed to

(KNOX POV)Cassy sat across from me, twisting around a loose thread on the couch. "Teddy's convinced Oxxy isn't yours," she finally said. "He thinks Oxxy's actually Ferdinand's."I stared at her, struggling to process what she was saying. "What? That's impossible.""They found out after that Ferdinand was also sleeping with her," she continued, not looking at me."Who's 'they'?" I asked."Essie and Phin were involved. Pretty intensely, from what I've gathered. And I'm pretty sure Teddy was in on it too, even though he won't admit it outright."I felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me."There's no way Oxxy isn't mine, Cassy."Cassy sighed, finally looking at me. "Knox, they were all pretty close. Maybe too close. I don't think they were trying to hide it. Teddy told me that Essie and Ferdinand were... well, let's just say they weren't just friends."I shook my head, refusing to accept what she was saying. "Oxxy looks like me. If he were Ferdinand's, he wouldn't have bl
