“You’re drooling, Little River.” He teases lightly, and I flush.“Sorry” I murmur, but before he can say anything, something moves beside him and moves towards me as if coming in for a hug. I scream and jump back, only to take a close look…What in the Dr. Facilier shit, is this? Is that his shadow
“Daddy, can I eat now?” I ask, but he doesn’t look at me or talk to me, he just passes by me and goes to the kitchen. When he comes back, he’s holding a napkin and I think he’s going to ask what I want to eat, so I turn to him happily, but he wraps the napkin around my face and holds it down. I can’
“Innocent? You’re nothing innocent, you’re a destructive tool and I refuse to allow you to destroy my pack like you destroyed the Brown family.” He spits. I laugh.“I destroyed the Brown family, are you sure about that?” I move closer towards him. “When you came to our home and asked my father to ki
“No, listen, I didn’t…I wasn’t…I” I roll my eyes at him, he doesn’t even know what to say to excuse what he did. And Rome or not, it still hurts that he did that to me after everything, I trusted him, I could have easily fooled myself and said I was in love with him. I wipe stray tears from my eyes
I close my eyes and breathe in deep, feeling the connections, I have within me; my bonds. I feel my bond with Rome and reach for it, caressing it softly, it’s been quiet for so long, and I want it to know I’m there, that I remember it and cherish it. Rome’s bond responds, and I feel it’s gentle care
I love you, Rome. I say, not just to get out of my pending punishment, but because I love him so much, and after missing out on telling him for so long, I just want to say it again and again and again until I can’t say it anymore.He steps forward past Remy and I, and addresses the rest of the pack
“No, I don’t have a problem with you being a god. What I do have a problem with, is you expecting us to just roll with it right after you killed our alpha in front of us…”“Did I kill him? I don’t remember that.”“You set it in motion, and we don’t know if you’re controlling Mars or something. We do
“And you still have me. Always have, always will.”“No, that’s not what I mean.” I snap in frustration.How can he do this to me? I don’t want to be away from him, and I don’t want to continue staying in this pack where everyone including Richfield now wants me dead now.“Take me with you, Rome.”“N
“You are friends with the moon goddess.” He says, slowly enough that I fear the information has managed to break his brain somehow.“Yes.” I reply slowly, mimicking him, and when he realizes what I’m doing, he rolls his eyes in amusement.“It’s just really…it’s a lot, but I’m following as best as I
“But I’m sure he’s been with other women before he met me, and maybe even after.” Saying that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I voice it anyway. “he can’t say he’s sexually frustrated if he’s getting the sexual attention he needs.”Aria shakes her head at me.“I can assure you that the only att
“Mars…”“I’m going to the kitchen, have a nice shower!” I say and sprint to the kitchen like my life depends on it, limp momentarily forgotten.“Oh, why does he always catch me.” I groan and bury my face in my hands as I stew in embarrassment for a while, and then I begin to get everything ready for
“I’m gonna shower,” Richfield says when we get to the house. “I stink.”“Agreed.” I say with a smirk as he helps me off Remy.“I’ll heat up some of the leftovers from last night and go shower too, but I think I’ll go out today, some fresh air would do me good.”“Are you hanging out with King, then?”
“You better not be developing a crush on him, he is our father, F-A-T-H-E-R, father…and we have a mate.”“Yeah, a mate you want to strangle right now.” I glare at him.“Don’t encourage her.”“A father is supposed to encourage his daughter.”“Unbelievable you two, simply unbelievable.” They laugh as
I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door, and turn to wake Rome up, but when I stretch my hand to touch him, I find the space beside me empty and cold. I jolt awake, and surely enough, King is nowhere in sight. My heart clenches painfully. The knocking persists and I throw the covers off my bod
Oh, and a Ham and Swiss Omelette sounds lovely, by the way. Enjoy your shower. “Get the fuck out of here before I strangle you or something.” He laughs as he leaves.The fact that I’m joined to him for life is a fucking nightmare that I’m not sure how I survive.As I head into the shower, however,
ROMULUSSometimes, humans want things they can’t have. They have desires that are just impossible to obtain, they don’t know or acknowledge their limits, so they desire for things way beyond them, and it burns them out because most of them never achieve these things, and the little who do cut down t
“So good, fuck, you smell so good.” He breathed in deeply, licked his lips, a movement my eyes tracked with the precision of a killer, and then he came closer and brushed his lips against mine again, setting fire to more than just my skin.“Yes, mine.” He whispered against my lips right before licki
