It was Donald's fifth time babysitting. It was not some ordinary kids he was to take care of, but his nephews, more or less the worst kind of creatures he had ever set his on. One of the 1000 ways to die, if you asked him.

He tiredly held the book in his hand, and read its contents out loud to the kids who had threatened him to. Funnily enough, they weren't concentrating, but made him do it anyway.

Thirty minutes. Thirty minutes and he'd be off the misery.

”What are you waiting for, go on” the youngest nudged him without even looking up from his box of crayons.

”Sure, sure,” Donald responded tiredly and continued,

“As if tapped awake by an invisible finger, Royian blinks his eyes open, springing quickly up into a seated position. He fingers the dagger hidden away under his pillow and rests his hazel eyes on the door, argus-eyed.

His ears perk up at the faint sound of approaching footsteps—the louder it gets, the longer he holds his breath. The rattling sound of keys against the door

    Today was going to be a good day.Dinah thought that evening as she smoothed her body fitting short black dress.She checked her face again, her make up was dark and sultry, almost seductive, she had smoky eye shadow on, her eyes were lined to make a cat-eye effect, her green eyes shone bright and alert and her lips were red, a dark shade of red.As she regarded herself, her smoky makeup, her short black dress and knee-length boots. She looked good, she looked really good for a first date, for a guy she was not even sure of, a guy who she just met.Maybe it was too much she thought, maybe she would scare him off, she considered changing.Then she stopped herself, she had a good feeling about tonight, she had a good feeling about Donald. After they met again at the store, he had collected her number and they kind of hit it off, now here she was wearing her most expensive perfume, going on a date.She smiled as she thought of how he always seemed speechless around her and she grabbed

    Jessica asked in a hostile manner, "What do you want? However, she thought she had permission."All right, first of all, I just want to say that I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you on the phone the last time. I made a mistake. Please pardon me?Jessica was genuinely shocked. "It's okay. To me, that was insignificant. "Fes sighed in relief. "I appreciate it. Jessica, may I please call to politely ask that you return to working for us soon? As soon as Fes finished speaking, he held his breath.Laughing, Jessica. Request turned down. I currently have a good job that allows me to live. Tell me the real reason you suddenly want me back. That can't be because you forgot about me.

    “…you have to make him fall in love with you,” Jessica didn't need to see him to know that she probably cringed at her own words. Was she acting some kind of soap opera that she would have to do that? Why would they tell her to play with another person's feelings. She felt it might have been easier to consider had it not been Terry, who had been extremely nice and helpful to her. 'Sorry... are you coming again? I didn't quite get it — I could swear I heard you say something like you wanted me to make him fall in love with me or something,” Jessica scoffed into the phone."Jessica…please.""Is this a sick joke? What do you think this is? A movie? Or a book on one of those free PDF apps? Do you think I'm some sort of Angelina Jolie?” Jessica thought to herself.“Fes, I don't know if you know how life works, but I don't think people really make people fall in love with them just by showing up in front of their house,” Jessica gave Sam a puzzled look of confusion as if she thought Fed wa

    Damian sat in his office, rubbing his hands together as he thought carefully.Kai had presented him with enough evidence, he should just present the evening to the Alpha council.But something was holding him back, the intensity of this information could change the council forever, everything he and other wolves had been raised to believe would be questioned, people would start to doubt the importance of remaining in a pack, when any human could just sneak in and kill them all.He used to believe in the strenght in numbers, but now, he believed that the fewer they were, the more, he could validate the people who could be trusted.Kai walked into his office, rolling his eyes as he sat down.“Still deliberating onw whether or not, to bring the news to the council” “Yes” Damian said curtly, he did not want to be distracted or disturbed by anyone at the moment.“I see” Kai nodded at him, not picking up on Damian’s Leave-me-alone signals.“But have you told Aria, I mean already know you g

So other Alphas were as curious as he was.He walked in and picked a seat to sit, the chairs were arranged in a circle in a way that all the Alphas could see each other.Damien entered followed by his right hand man, Kai.Some people among them murmured, “So he asks us not to bring our second in command, but here he is” one person said“Yeah, such a hypocrite” said by the person next to the person who first spoke.“Yeah he is” Another person chorused.Damien walked to the center of the circle before taking his seat, Kai stood behind him firmly, looking ahead, all previous traces of humor that he usually

    Sam tried to cheer Jessica up when he saw the smug expression on her face, but she was determined to stay that way.He waved his hands as if he couldn't care less and said, "You're torn between a rock and whatever they call it.Jessica yawned, adding "and a rock."He nodded in a silly way that made Jessica smile, "Yeah, that.". Even when he wasn't trying, the guy had a natural sense of humor.So, what are you going to do? he asked, his face displaying concern."I have no idea. She posed the question, "What do you think?" but she already knew the response."You are aware that my lending advice is poor. Just do what you think is right, in my opinion. He laughed, and Jessica rolled her eyes. "Whatever that means," he added. She never thought that quote made sense enough."Thanks, a lot like…. You're the most helpful, she moaned-groaned into the pillow she had her face buried in."I'm overjoyed that I could be of assistance. I'll only be a minute, Yvonne asked me to go to the apartment bui

Yet, recollecting everything's the soothsayer had said to her, it was difficult for her to settle on a choice.'… .You should play out the indoor lunar customs like clockwork at another raised area you will get ready all alone. Besides, give a valiant effort to try not to visit public spots inside the 9-month time of your pregnancy… .' these words rang in her mind."No, I need to go see father, one time only.
