From a young age, Rhiannon Brink felt like a failure that didn't belong. No matter how hard she tried, nothing she did seemed to ever be good enough in the game of life. Every day felt like nails being dragged across a blackboard, and the only thing that kept her going was the thought that there had to be more to life, more than what the small town in the middle of nowhere offered her ..... but what happens when that's exactly the case? Truths are revealed turning Rhiannon's life upside down, and she must learn to trust others as well as herself ..... can she handle what's thrown at her and become the woman she needs to be, or will reality break her to pieces?
View MoreJulia I leaned back in my recliner and sipped my glass of wine. Amar's high-pitched whining was giving me a migraine, and I needed something to try to dull the pain. I debated mixing something a little stronger, but I knew it was only a matter of time before .... "JULIA!" Seth yelled my name as he slammed my poor old wooden door shut. Amar finally shut up and I heard him jump off of Rhi's bed. He peaked his head around the corner of her doorway long enough to look at me before returning to her bed. If a dog could sneer, believe me when I say that he would have. I think the old mongrel was looking forward to this. I kept quiet as I heard Seth's footsteps getting closer. Soon enough, the Alpha was standing in front of me with his lead warrior by his side. The both of them were glaring at me as I rolled my eyes. I didn't miss the quiet scoff that left Roxanne's lips. She never did like me, especially when she found out I enjoyed hitting on her older brother. "What the fuck is
Seth I sat in my personal office that was connected to my bedroom, clicking my pen on my desktop as Sam sat in a chair across from me. Words may have been coming out of his mouth, but I honestly had no idea what he was saying. I was completely distracted by the uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. It only got more intense as the seconds ticked by, and it didn't help that Lucius was starting to act anxious. It felt like a little tornado was spinning in my mind, faster and faster. "Seth? Are you ok?" Sam asked with concern in his voice. My ears heard him, but my brain was too preoccupied to answer. "SETH!" Sam said my name loudly as he leaned across my desk and clapped his hands in front of my face to get my attention. "Something's wrong," I said as I quickly stood up and started making my way downstairs with Sam right behind me. "You need to use your words better than that, Seth, " Sam said as he followed towards the front door. "It's Rieka. I need to ....." "
Rhiannon (Rieka) Dub and I made it back to the farm much quicker than I thought we would. Which I was thankful for as the weather seemed completely untrustworthy as the howling wind made dark clouds dance across the sky. I pulled out my phone as soon as I dismounted and sent Timophy a message, letting him know that I was here. As I took care of Dub I kept chasing away a bad feeling that kept lurking inside of me. "It's been a long, emotional week, Dub. Let's get you back out with the others, " I said to my only friend in the world as I led him out to the pasture with the other horses, blaming the feeling I had on everything that's happened. To keep myself busy, I decided to go to the hay loft and sweep up all of the loose hay into a large pile. I must have lost track of time because before I knew it, everything was swept up, and a harsh knocking pulled my attention towards the loft wall by the stairs. Timophy was leaning against the loft wall, his black hair was messy, and
Rhiannon My head felt like a lead balloon while my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth from the dryness. I quickly rubbed my hands on the surface that I was lying on, making sure I was, in fact, in bed and not the grassy field. A breath of air left my lips as I felt the smooth sheets against my skin. I slowly opened my eyes just enough to see the water bottle that I kept on my nightstand. I quickly reached over, grabbed the bottle for dear life, and drank the entire thing. After moving my tongue around in my now-quenched mouth for a few seconds, I forced myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. As soon as I opened my bedroom door, I saw Amar sitting in the hallway, his gray eyes staring at me. A simple groan was the only thing I could muster as I walked past him. Once in the bathroom, I turned the shower water on, and the bathroom filled with steam. I found the bottle of Excedrin in the cabinet, used my hand to cup water from the sink, and took three of the pills be
Seth The sunlight coming through my bedroom window told me it was time to get my ass out of bed. If only I had gotten a decent night's sleep. After I took a shower and got dressed, I sent a mind link out to those closest to me that we needed to have a talk before breakfast. I immediately put my block up so that I wouldn't get bombarded with questions and proceeded to reschedule any business plans that I had for the day. As I made my way to the meeting room, I decided to swing into the kitchen and ask the cook to have breakfast brought in for us. It'll probably be better not to have a bunch of hangry wolves to deal with on top of everything else. Once I made it to the decent-sized room, I closed the window shades, sat down at the long wooden table, and proceeded to click my pen on it. "Calm the fuck down," Lucius demanded with an annoyed tone. I rolled my eyes at his hypocrisy but decided not to point out all the times I had to tell him to relax. Now wasn't the time for a p
Seth It was late by the time I turned onto the long stone driveway of the packhouse. I put my truck in park, but before I got out, I stared at the large stone and log cabin-style house. All these years I wanted nothing more than to bring Rhiannon ..... Rieka here. To bring her home. To share my life with her by my side as my Luna. But she didn't even know that the supernatural existed beyond the fantasy world. We were nothing more than myths and legends, childhood fantasies. Plus there's the fact that her entire life has been nothing more than a lie. "We need to have a meeting with the others tomorrow," I told Lucius as I finally left my truck and made my way towards the house. "No shit, but how about we handle one thing at a time? Like the cookies that you have a death grip on for example?" Lucius replied without shame. I looked at the large container tucked under my left arm, completely forgetting that Julia ended up baking a bunch of chocolate chip cookies while I picked a
Dis The shades that the burning glow of the lower mantel created were breathtakingly beautiful, like autumn on fire. The view was my reward for keeping watch over the hundreds of thousands of evil souls that aimlessly walked around, each one awaiting their turn to move closer to the Earth's core. My job is to make sure that the number of souls stays in check to keep the Earth going. Let me backtrack..... When the essence of evil leaves the living surface it is sucked through the Earth's layers until it reaches me. Here, at the lower mantel, it continuously walks around with all of the other souls as it awaits its turn to go to the core to heat the Earth. If too many souls go to the core at once, the earth gets too hot. Too few and there will be another ice age. Who exactly am I? Depends on the location and point of time that you ask. It also depends on who is telling the story and how much they exaggerate for attention. Some call me The Devil, Lucifer, Dis, Hades, Pluto, or Orc
Seth Dub came to a smooth stop in Julia's backyard. I hated to admit it, but Julia was right. Dub had earned a new respect from me after the speed at which he carried Rhiannon and I. As Dub leaned down so that I could easily dismount with Rhiannon, I thought about when Lucius chased the horse through the woods. "Seth, don't say it ..... " Lucius warned me. My lips turned upward into a slight smile, "He was toying with you. The entire time you thought you were gaining ground, he was just playing with you ...." "Being fast is the only thing that walking glue factory has going for him," Lucius quipped with a hint of jealousy. As if Dub knew what Lucius had said, he lifted his tail while he walked by, and the airy sound of flatulence was released with each step he took. I wrinkled my nose with impressed disgust as Dub snorted before trotting back towards his pasture, the smell stinging my nose. "Thanks, asshole. I had to smell that because of you," I grumbled to Lucius, though
Rhiannon Crickets chirped in the darkness, their songs blending with the sound of the water in the distance. I knew exactly where I was without even opening my eyes. "What time is it?" I quietly asked Seth, surprised that we were still in the field. But I didn't get an answer. The silence was unsettling, and I slowly opened my eyes to confirm what I suspected. Seeing that I really was left alone was like a punch to my guts. I couldn't believe that not only did Seth leave me passed out in the field, but so did Amar. It's not that I wasn't used to being by myself, I just ..... I just expected more from both of them. I let out a deep sigh as I leaned my head back and looked up at the sky that was glittered with stars ..... stars and an extremely full moon. My eyes widened as a familiar burning scent found its way to me. Maybe if I stayed on the l ground I wouldn't have to relive the same nightmare over again. But that's not how the night would go, as the sound of twigs snapping
Rhiannon The rain beat down on my head as I walked home from school, soaking me to my core. I looked up at the cloudy skies and wondered why nature hated me so much. Then again, the day started horribly, so why not have a completely unexpected rainstorm for my walk home? It wouldn't be the first time that the weatherman was wrong, and it surely won't be the last. It must be nice having a job where you get paid to be wrong more than right. As I was cursing at the fact that I didn't have a rain jacket, a car horn screamed from behind me. Even though I knew what was coming I didn't move quickly enough to get out of the way as the tan car sped by, driving through a large puddle and completely saturating me with dirty road water. "Hey, Amazon Queen! Drowned rat is so last season!" Laura Cole's highly annoying squeaky voice yelled from the passenger window while the car continued to drive away. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth as I flipped off the fading car with my right hand w...
