“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 really do need a bath, Remy.” He pats her fur, “but you can’t walk into the house just like that. You’re gonna track mud all over the place. And the bathrooms aren’t big enough for you either.”“We can wash her out here, I can get the water hose and some shampoo.”Sounds good“She agrees.” I sa
I wake up to the sound of the doorbell ringing what seems to be hours after I must have fallen asleep while watching movies with Richfield.It’s dark out, the TV is off, and there’s a blanket over me. Richfield isn’t in sight, but I can hear his heartbeat, it’s slow and steady, so I know he’s asleep
He’s been crying too.While he set up a movie for me and got us ice cream, laughed and smiled with me through movie after movie, his heart was still breaking, and when I finally fell asleep, he came to his room, the room he shared with Helena, and mourned her alone. The ball of guilt already firmly
“And thank you, for having us. You could have turned us away, but you didn’t, and I’m grateful too.” My heart warms. They are right, we really need the company, all four of us.So as not to waste the food, we have the beef noodle casserole first, and it tastes heavenly we all dig in.“So, Mars, I ha
“I just…at first, I thought it was you, but I realized it wasn’t. you all looked at me like I was crazy the first time I mentioned it, and so I stopped. I knew the man in black was the only one who’d do that, so I just let it be. It was the same as the present he gave me on my seventh birthday. That
I’m purring and trying to burrow into Rome’s skin if I can. He holds me against himself, but he seems tense and stiff.“What the hell are you doing here, and what did you do to her?” I hear King snap at Rome.Is he trying to make Rome leave again? I don’t like it.I pull my face away from Rome’s che
“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
