Flying is a horrid thing indeed.
Stuck in a small metal tube flying high above solid ground, unable to hear the soothing sounds of nature or other people. No, only able to hear everything mechanical, the deafening wind, and the sound of the other four people on this plane.
Silas tried to talk to me and distract me, but it didn’t work. He ended up placing headphones over my ears and turned classical music on high in an effort to make me relax. It worked a little, he held my hand the whole time and rubbed it soothingly.
But I couldn’t help but take a breath of relief when we finally made it to land. He brought my hand up to his lips and said, “Now, my dear, should we rest for the night or get to work?”
I smile, “Get to work if we can. It’s a Saturday night in New York, surely the Sinclair’s are up to something fantastic tonight.”“I’ll see what I can finLuxThis place is busy. But, what else can you expect from New York City?My dress is comfortable, it fits me well and based off the way Silas’s heart beats a little faster when he sees me, I know that he finds me attractive.The opera singing was… loud. I had never gone before so it was an interesting experience. I can sense a lot of werewolves and most seem high ranked. I wonder how many are visiting the city and how many have a pack near here.Silas mutters, “Interesting.”I ask softly, “What is?”“Do you know who Mason Maverick is?”I nod, “He’s a famous actor, also happens to be a werewolf. He’s certainly made a name for himself considering the fact he doesn’t live a normal pack life like the rest of us.”“From what I’ve heard, he’s also Marinette Sinclair’s friend.”I raise my eyebrows
SilasI watch as Mason glares at Lux, he obviously doesn’t like the fact that she called him out. He huffs, “I don’t understand why you need to know where she is.”Lux doesn’t miss a beat as she responds, “It doesn’t matter if you understand or not, I need to know her location. You might be a good actor, Mason, but I can hear the change in your heartbeat. I know you know her location and you will tell me where she is.”“She’s in Canada.”I ask, “Why?”He looks me up and down and says in a defensive tone, “I know who she is, who are you?”Lux answers in an aggressive tone, “My mate.”He nods and my heart flutters hearing Lux stake her claim on me. She asks, “Where in Canada?”“She’s with the North River Pack, met a guy and he gave her a job and is helping her learn about the supernatura
LuxThe silence is deafening as I wait for Silas to respond back to me. He said that he's always been in love with me, surely that won’t ever change… right?He loves me, he must love me. I feel tears prickle in my eyes, threatening to pour down my face as I wait for his response. I begin to question why I put myself out here like this and suddenly he grabs my face and presses his lips against mine.I gasp and, in that moment, he takes the opportunity to be able to slip his tongue into my mouth and once I'm over the shock of what's happening, I kiss him back with as much desire and passion that he seems to have for me. I am desperate for him to know how much I love him and that I want to be with him.He needs to know that there is nobody else for me but also, if I’m honest with myself… there’s never been anyone for me other than him.Even when I was with Apollo, I was trying to make it w
Lux When the alarm went off early in the morning, I couldn’t help but groan in distaste. I hear Silas as he chuckles and pulls me closer to him, kissing my head before saying, “Good morning.”The sparks between us seem to be stronger as I gasp from the tingles sparking between us. He intertwines our hands and murmurs, “This is incredible.”I nod slowly in agreement and Kodi starts to purr in my head, completely satisfied with the fact she’s mated and connected with Jax. I sigh, feeling contentment wash over me. He says, “Come on, we can sleep on the plane ride, we need to meet Mason.”His statement makes me get out of bed, I almost forgot about Mason. I was a little too preoccupied with the events of last night that the purpose behind our trip slipped my mind. Once we finish getting dressed Silas takes my hand as we rush out of the hotel. I can’t help but smile from the bond I feel to him and I can’t help but b
SilasRelief floods through my veins now that the flight is finally over. After that first encounter, Mason wasn’t interested in talking anymore and spent most of the flight drinking.Lux never spoke during the flight, instead paying attention to her music and occasionally squeezing or rubbing my hand. As we get off the plane Mason says, “I have a car for us.”I look at him skeptically with one eyebrow raised and he rolls his eyes at me and says, “Chill, I’m not trying to hurt the princess or anything like that.”Lux murmurs, “He’s telling the truth. He has no ill intent.”I breathe out as I nod and after a few minutes a limo pulls up. We get inside with Mason, and he says, “Take us to the Lunar Café.”“Yes sir.” The driver responds.Before I can ask Mason says, “I called Marinette last night and asked her to meet us there
LuxIt’s weird being around Marinette. It feels unusually natural, almost like I’ve known her my entire life. I don’t know how else to describe it.Her baby, Marigold, fussed a little during the drive and I ask, “What made you pick her name?”“Oh, her biological father and I picked it out before he passed. If it was a girl, we want ‘Mari’ to be a part of her name because it’s kind of a tradition in my family. If it was a boy, he would’ve had an ‘A’ name just like the father.” Her voice sounds sad as she continues, “He wanted Marigold because he said that she would be more precious to him than gold.”“I’m sorry for your loss.”She takes a heavy breath and says, “It’s fine, it’s part of life unfortunately. He was a good man, an incredible boyfriend and fiancé… you know, Lux, you’re
Silas Lux’s face brightens after Marinette complimented her. Lux chuckles softly and says, “Well, I like you too.” Marinette giggles as she sits beside Mason and smiles at him. She looks at him for a moment before turning to look at us and her eyebrows knit together as she asks, “So, how did the three of you know each other anyway?” Mason looks over at me and Lux as he waits for one of us to explain. He doesn’t want Marinette to think that she’s just being used. I open my mouth to speak but Lux surprises me when she says, “Well, actually, we don't know Mason very well. We knew of him just like we knew of you. I was trying to find you, and this was before we knew you came out here at Canada and um, we met at a party. I knew the two of you were close and I asked if he could help us find you. He was hesitant, but I told him I would be looking for you regardless of if he helped and I thought you’d be more comfortable if he was here too.”M
LuxAs soon as the words left my mouth, I hear Marinette stand up. She tells Mason, “Come help me pack, Mace.”He sounds surprised as he asks, “Right now?”She says, “We need to do it now, if we don’t then Chase might find out about it.”My eyebrows furrow, why does it matter with Chase?Mason doesn’t question anymore and instead follows her out of the room. I ask Silas softly, “Why do you think she’s so hesitant about Chase?”Silas breathes out and says, “I don’t know, but it sounds like the two of them are upset with one another based off what that Lauren girl was saying.”I nod in agreement, and we sit quietly as we wait for Mason and Marinette to come back in the room. I hear the baby fuss softly and then Mason walks into the room. He sits down and asks Silas, “Is this the right way to hold a baby?”Silas c
