Chapter 3: Trials Begin-Aspen’s POV
Last Updated:
2025-02-12 07:06:11We walk down the hall passing the Beta that just came out his office and towards the living room. The smell of the ocean is full force once again and I do not understand why. When we make it to the main living room, I am greeted with all four children, the man who I now know as Dimitri and three unknown people. Dimitri is already looking deep into my soul. I shift on my feet feeling completely uncomfortable with his stare.
"Children this is Aspen and she's going to be doing a trail." Aphrodite says getting everyone's attention.
"Aspen these four are who you would be the nanny to. And these four here well you met this one. Well actually you only seen him. That is Dimitri. To his left is the young man's soon to be Beta Luke and their soon to be both Gammas Landyn and Sebastian." Thanos adds.
"Dude!" Landyn says.
"That's the girl you were talking about?" Luke asks in a whisper.
"She's hot!" Sebastian says in a low voice. I am startled when I hear a hellacious growl coming from Dimitri. Which makes all three guys throw their hands up in surrender.
What the hell is his problem?
Please tell me I didn't say that out loud.
"I just love her!" Aphrodite says.
I did.
"That's quite a vocabulary she has!" Sebastian says while he laughs."Good luck because I like you." Aphrodite whispers in my ear when she walks by me.
"Children! She is your guardian for the next two hours. Mind her!" Thanos says in a low deadly voice.
"So, who wants to play hide and seek?" I ask nervously.
"I do!!" Three children yell out while one just shakes her head yes.
She must be Shiloh.
"Do you know sign language?" I ask her. She shakes her head yes and looks down towards the ground.
"Would you prefer we communicate in sign language instead?" I ask while squatting in front of Shiloh. She shakes her head yes again as she smiles brightly.
Hi Shiloh. My names Aspen. But most people call me Brielle or Asp. You can call me which ever one you want.
Hi, I am Shiloh, but my family calls me Shy.
Shy? How about I give you your own special nickname. How about Shy Bug?
Shy Bug! I like it!
Shy Bug it is then! Ready to play?
Yes!!
I will count to 30 and you all hide. Okay?
"Okay guys, lady, and Shy Bug. I will count to thirty and you all will go hide." I say looking at the children.
"What's base?" Dovelin asks.
"How about the couch." I say unsure of the answer. The children nod their heads in agreement.
Couch it is.
Is that even safe?
Probably not.
"1 2 3....... 30. Ready or not here I come!" I yell out. I know they haven't gone far. I walk towards the curtain that is moving and spot little feet.
"Gotcha!" I scream out.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Rowan screams out. You can hear running, but I am not paying any but of attention. I finally glance behind me and see all the remaining kids running towards the couch.
"Asp got me!" Roe calls out. I walk off laughing my head off.
"1 2 3..."
Shiloh takes my hand and has me run with her. She hides beside the desk crouched down. You would totally miss the little girl. I crawl under the desk and pull the chair towards me. I can see Rowan's little feet running fast as they can carry him. I crawl out my hiding spot run and scoop up Shy in one arm as I run by a slow moving Dovelin. I scoop her up in the other and haul us all towards the couch.
Sounds like cheating to me.
"Safe!!" Dove yells out while giggling.
"Ahhh!" I hear a scream.
"That's bullshit!" Tyson yells out.
"Quit being a sore loser!" Rowan yells back. They happen to be in a full-on shoving match. I sit the girls on the couch cushions and run towards the boys. I try to separate them, but they will not separate. So, I do what I could do. I take the flowers out the vase and let the flower water dump on the boys. This makes them instantly shut up and let go of each other.
"One, you do not cuss young man. You are not old enough and it is horrible language to learn. Two, you do not call people names; it is rude, mean, and uncalled for. You're teaching the girls bad habits. You wouldn't want them speaking like this, would you?" I say with my arms crossed. Each boy stares at me wide eyed and in shock over the cold flower water that had been poured onto their head.
"Now tell each other sorry." I say with my brow raised.
"Do we have to?" Ty asks.
"Yes, now say sorry and hug it out." I say with my brow raised and arms crossed.
"I'm sorry!" They both say in unison.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" I ask.
"No. Don't make me hug him." Roe mumbles.
"He has cooties!" Ty yells.
"Now boys. Hug." I say with a stern voice.
"Fine!" Ty huffs out.
"Sure." Roe says as the boys eventually hug. Thank God or I would have had to move them towards each other to get them to hug. I turn towards the girls and Shy has started to sign to me.
Come sit with me Brielle.
I am coming love.
Can we color?
Certainly!
The boys are playing a video game, and I have the girls in the floor coloring. Thanos, Aphrodite, Dimitri, and the other three come walking back in.
"Oh wow! She has them so... So... Behaved." Aphrodite says shocked.
"You're hired!" Thanos says.
"No, she isn't." Dimitri yells out.
"Yes, she is." Aphrodite snaps back.
"Those boys are my brothers. I say no." Dimitri growls out.
"We're their guardian and we...." Thanos says while pointing between Aphrodite and himself.
"Say yes!" Aphrodite finishes for Thanos.
"Whatever. She will quit in a week's time anyway. Why can't you get a werewolf, witch, hell I would even settle for a damn faery." Dimitri growls out low and deadly. Dimitri walks out heavy footed. I turn towards everyone and ask.
"Who shoved a jousting rod up his as...... Rear?" I mumble out.
"Human..." Sebastian says lowly.
"Mate..." Landyn whispers low. The three boys walk out behind Dimitri. Both Thanos and Aphrodite get my attention back.
"Next week you start." Aphrodite says.
"It gives you a week to move to your room here and get settled in." Thanos says. A small figure gets my attention by tapping my leg. I look down to see Shiloh at my legs.
See you tomorrow?
Most definitely Shy Bug.
Goodnight!
"Did you see that?" Aphrodite says shocked.
"I believe I did. I am in our living room. Correct?" Thanos says.
"Shiloh just communicated with her. She doesn't do well with strangers!" Aphrodite says stunned.
"Tomorrow, we'll get you moved in. Lets talk about the pay." Thanos points out.
"Okay?" I say confused.
"We been discussing this for two hours while you were watching these four. We decided every week we will put 1,000 back into an account for college and pay you 1,000 a week. So, in reality you are getting paid 2,000 a week." Aphrodite says.
"I... What?" I ask, shocked to my core.
"Is that salary not high enough?" Thanos asks.
"We can increase it." Aphrodite offers.
"No. No. The amount is more than enough. Thank you." I squeak out. I wave to the children, and I ended up tackled to the floor by four strong children.
"See you tomorrow!" Three of them say. Shiloh has tapped my arm. So, I look towards her. She does some pick me up hand motions. This makes me instantly melt. I scoop up the little girl. She puts her arm around my neck and hugs me.
"See you tomorrow, Brielle." She whispers.
She talks!

No Escape Chapter 4: Got The Job-Aspen’s POV
It is packing day, I finally have gotten my clothes I would need packed up. I already boxed up the important things my dad owned and placed them in my car the other day. I don't own a lot but just enough to make this house feel like a home. My dad's youngest sister will be staying in my childhood home. Only to keep it occupied and supported with a body here. I just didn't want anything bad to happen to this house because it's my childhood home. I start my car up and head towards the castle. When I arrive, Thanos and Aphrodite are already waiting outside the door for me. When I start to ascend the steps, I see a blur coming towards me. The blur collides with my body and at once I wrap my arms around this small blur before we can make contact with the concrete below. I tuck the small child into my chest as my back hits the concrete. The fall knocks out all the air in my lungs. But I don't let that effect me, I intended to keep this child safe, never let go of this little angel even if I

After the scene from upstairs, I had decided to go to the gazebo for a bit. Dinner wasn't quite done yet and the less time around Dimitri the better. Hendrix and Aphrodite have now caught up to me and Aphrodite hands me a book to read. "You look like you could use a book. I always read by the pond." Aphrodite says. "Thank you!" I reply to her, and I gently take the book from her hands without looking at the title. "I'm sorry for Dim's behavior." Hendrix has apologized over his brother's words. "Uhhh. It is fine. No worries, Hendrix." I respond to him. "I'm just going to go by the pond and read this book. I'll be back for dinner." I add with a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes. They both let me head towards the direction of the pond. As I continue my adventure, I see movement on the third-floor balcony to my right. When I glance up and I see Dimitri watching me with a gloomy expression. What is he gloomy about? He is the one whom bit my head off earlier and was rude. Scuffing

I haven't met the other two tribrid quadruples yet. Apparently, Paxton left to find his mate a few villages over. He is supposed to arrive back in a few days. Mustn't found his mate. Hopefully, he isn't like Dimitri because I can't handle another one. I mean, I barely can handle this one. Orion went to help a smaller pack with training and will be back before the ball that happens in two weeks' time. It is a charity slash mate ball. Meaning we're raising money for a cause plus all the mate-less creatures come to see if they can sniff out their other halves. The attendees include every magical creature and us humans. Humans aren't forced to go, it's an open invitation. Some werewolves do end up with humans for mates; which isn't really uncommon. The Queen informed me that I will be attending the ball with them. Why you might ask, the answer is still unknown. Why am I eager to meet the third quadruple that co

It has been a few days since the incident with Birdie. She is feeling better, and her wound seems to be healed. Which means I get to take out her stitches. "Birdie!!" I call out to her. I can hear her small feet running down the hall from her room "Yes, Aspie?" She calls back from the other side of the living room. "I have to take out your stitches sweetheart. Please come here." I say in a soft voice. She comes and sits on my lap. I slowly start to snip each stitch and when I am finally done with the last stitch; she wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me. She lets go of me and takes a seat in the floor. I feel two tugs on my wrists. When I look down, I notice Roe and Shy have my wrists. "Can we have ice cream?" They both ask. I nod my head and stand up, others follow right beside us. I place each child into their seats and walk to the freezer. Shy loves strawberry cheesecake, Dove love
Last Updated : 2025-02-18No Escape Chapter 8: Bolt & Eskimo-Aspen’s POV
It has been a week since I have met Paxton. He's actually quite interesting as a person. I thought Hendrix was the friendliest, I was wrong. Paxton is the friendliest one. Which I figured would be hard when Hendrix is out of this world friendly. Hendrix and Paxton are taking me out into the backyard later to meet their wolves. Since I will still be babysitting the four younger children, they will be going out with me. I haven't seen any werewolves turn into their wolves before. Well, besides my best friend, so I'm kind of excited. The children are eating their lunch while I read a book on Tribrids. When they finish lunch is when we'll be going outside to see the two wolves. After fifteen minutes of reading, I decided to place the book back onto the shelf. I wasn't watching where I was going and turned the corner and run right into a wall.... A wall in the center of the hall? I stumble back

It only looks so far away because all the smoke from the chimneys that clouds the skies above. Lived an eighteen-year-old girl human girl or so she thought named Aspen. She needed a job for college next year. So, she decided to apply for the only job available that she would honestly qualify for. Who is Aspen? She is me and I am her.

"Your Royal Highnesses" I said softly. I elegantly bow down to the King and Queen. They may not my King and Queen but you still have to be respectful and bow to the Royals. I wait patiently for one of them to order me to straighten back up. "Rise!" The King's raspy voice echoed in this giant office. I can hear footsteps getting closer. Soon they exit the room as the door slams behind them. I quickly straighten back up and look to where the one prince and four children were and back towards the door again. Did I offend him?"Ignore him, will you? He is just agitated." The Queen says in the softest voice. I throw my hands over my mouth with my eyes the size of saucers. This isn't going so well. Letting my hands fall back down to my sides after I have finally calmed down. "Did I say that out loud?" I ask stunned. The King has the biggest smirk on his face while the Queen giggles. I am standing here looking at them like they have pet Velociraptors behind them. "Yes.... You.... Did." T
