I was walking home from the post box when I noticed a black SUV watching the house, and more closely, watching me. I pretended not to notice and walked quickly yet casually into the house. “Hey Ethan…” I greeted him breathlessly as he passed me in the foyer. He turned to face me with a worried look. He knew not to ask what was troubling me, until completely safe within the family house. “There’s an SUV that’s been watching me…I’ve noticed it a couple of times now…” I whispered to him. A guilty look crossed his features causing me to crease my brows together in confusion. ‘What the hell is everyone hiding?’ I angrily thought. First there was Koa, then Dom, and now my own twin brother is hiding things from me. I cornered him in the foyer. “Spill. Now. Because you know that we don’t keep secrets from each other. No matter what.”

He let out a deep sigh before pulling me into the large family office. “The people who took Mr. Jinx for ransom has been threatening Koa. Apparently it wasn’t j

    I waited for them to answer on the other line as the dingtone kept echoing throughout the warehouse. When I saw Koa's bruised face, I angrily glared over at the two morons that had brought me here. "Are you alright, little Dawn?" He questioned through the screen, the worry and anger obvious in his tone. I nodded, giving a small, reassuring smile. He examined me while taking in my blood-stained lower lip causing his eyes to grow darker with his increasing anger. "Are you?" I asked, my voice strained. He nodded slowly. In the background I saw my brothers standing behind Koa and released a small sigh of relief. "1437" I began as Koa's mother motioned for me to hurry up. "I have to ask you to do a favor for me..." I began as I watched Ethan hand Koa a slip of paper. He read the sheet quickly then nodded for me to continue. "Koa, I love you and I will see you again. Will you tell Dr. Brown that I appreciate the help but I'm okay now. Meet me where it all began. I hope you won't hate me f

  • To Catch a Dream   Running On Empty

    I dropped to the ground weakly, landing on my back next to Karla and tried to see if I was shot after all when I felt the sticky liquid spreading towards me from Karla's limp body. I heard seven pairs of footsteps echoing throughout the warehouse as they came racing towards me, Koa easily reaching me first since he had always been the fastest out of the group. He pulled me gently into his tight embrace, "Shh, shh, I've got you..You're safe now.." He was smoothing my hair out of my face while checking over my injuries. I looked over at the now lifeless body of Koa's mother and felt my eyes beginning to sting. "It's okay, just let it go.." I buried my face into his chest as the tears quickly made for their escape. I couldn’t believe that this might be finally over. Ethan nervously dropped to his knees beside us and quietly mumbled, "Is she gonna be okay?" I turned my face towards him and saw him beginning to break. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him, wincing slig

  • To Catch a Dream   I came, I saw, I left

    Koa was asleep and I was bored lying in the hospital bed when I heard a slight knock at the door before Ethan walked in. "How are ya feeling, E?" I smiled up at him, then pointed towards the sleeping Koa. He nodded briefly while walking to sit on the other side of me. "I'm sorry I didn't come in to see ya when we first got here..." He whispered, directing his ashamed gaze towards his hands resting on his lap. I reached out, placing my hand on his."It's okay Ethan. Really. I'm going to be fine. I'm alive and safe. That's what matters, right?" He looked up at me and gave a small smile, nodding. He had dark bags under his eyes and I felt a lump forming in the back of my throat. I haven't been in the hospital but for two days now, the bags under his eyes were too dark for them to only be from my stay in the hospital. I wondered how much sleep he had actually gotten while I was being held hostage. "Ethan, you should sleep more. How will you get a girl looking like death's shadow?" I tease

  • To Catch a Dream   Stolen Hearts

    I was anxiously bouncing on the hospital bed while Koa was filling out the release paperwork. I was ecstatic to be finally going home after a week in this dreaded hospital. He came back into the stark white room, seeing me bouncing like the impatient child I was being, and smirked, slightly shaking his head. "Come on, little Dawn. You are now officially free." I squealed and hopped out of the bed. "Was it really that bad for you here?" I nodded, exaggerating slightly.He grinned and held out his hand for me to take, but then looked at me puzzled when I shook my head, smirking. He rolled his eyes, his grin unfaltering then turned his back towards me knowingly. I giggled as I jumped up, then he carried me on his back out of the hospital. Once we were outside, I flipped off the building, "I hope to never see those bitches again!" I shouted towards the hospital doors. I felt Koa shake with his laughter which I quickly joined in.The ride home felt too long, yet too short at the same time.

    I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat as my eyes locked with his and my heart was pounding lightly. He cocked an eyebrow up towards the ceiling while waiting for my answer. All that escaped from my lips was a hushed, "What?"He smirked as he continued to hold my wrist, "I asked if you wanted to try hitting my chest once more." I looked up at him, struggling for my words. Before I could respond, he took my other wrist into his other hand, lifting both above my head. His eyes searched mine before leaning in, but stopped with his lips just out of reach. I leaned forward slightly, crashing my lips against his. He began to deepen the kiss when we heard my bedroom door being flung open. We both looked towards the noise, to see my older brothers, Landon and Isaac standing in the doorway. Koa didn't release his hold on my wrists, glaring at them, he demanded, "What?"Landon groaned as Isaac quickly turned around. "Ew! That's my sister. If you wanna do that then do it when I'm not

    "Koa?" I whispered as I ran my fingers through his hair. He hasn't moved from his kneeling position in front of me. When he finally lifted his eyes to mine, my heart began to break. His eyes were red-rimmed and the normally icy blue color had turned to a stormy grey."I'm so sorry..." His voice was weak and broken. My eyebrows creased together and he gave a small, sad smile. I leaned down, placing a light kiss on his forehead, then stood up making him follow suit."What are you apologizing for?" I made him look at me. He took a shaky breath attempting to look away again, but I refused to let him."I'm constantly reminded of what I put you through, but I swear that wasn't my intention. Please believe me..." His voice broke especially on the last part. I gave a small smile while I pulled him into a hug."I believe you. I've forgiven you, now it's time to forgive yourself." I whispered into his ear, my arms wrapped tightly around his neck. His hands that were resting on my hips tightened

    There was a knock on my door, startling us apart from each other, attempting to catch our breath. I groaned as I attempted to climb off of Koa's lap but his hands held me firmly in place. "Who is it?" Koa called out causing a shocked expression to form on my face. He smirked and gave a quick wink while I childishly stuck out my tongue."It's Azalea...mother called a house meeting. Something is going on and I'm really worried..." My baby sister's voice sounded through the closed door. I looked towards Koa, seeing the suddenly serious look as he released his hold on my hips. I hopped off of his lap and quickly grabbed some clothes. He did the same. When I swung the door open, Azzie and Ethan were both waiting for us. We gathered in the room adjacent to our mother's office, quickly taking our seats."Thank you for everyone joining me. There's been a blackmail letter delivered to the house with a little gift." My mother's voice was stern as she emptied the contents of an envelope. I recog

    He quickly stood up and hugged me tightly. I broke down as a sob choked out. Parker rubbed my back until I finally was able to calm back down. "I need a drink...or thirty..." I chuckled grimly. He stared at me with the same expression as a little kid who just saw their dog die. "What?""I wish you wouldn't drink like that...'' He admitted meekly as he turned his eyes down to his hands. "You're always the strong one aside from Dominick...but when you drink...It's always been your way of burying all of your emotions and then you get careless. I thought when Koa would come back, that all of that would stop." His eyes began watering as he tried his best to contain his tears. I pulled him in for another hug while releasing the breath I was holding."I'm so sorry, Park. I didn't realize that by hurting myself, I was hurting you too." I felt ashamed. I hated being the reason for other people's pain, especially my siblings. He gave a small nod as he quickly ran his hand down his face. "You've

    Recap: “You’re right it’s not. It’s safer. It means I know my twin brother won’t ever leave me. It means that you also keep everyone else safe and aware using the God given skills that you have.” I felt the familiar stinging behind my eyes causing me to look down at my hands. The next thing I know, I was pulled into one of the tightest hugs that I had felt in a long time. I broke down then, bawling and gasping for breath while hiding my face into my twin brother’s shoulder. “I’m sorry E. I—I didn’t think of it like that…” I nodded at his hushed words while he slowly rubbed circles on my back. Once I was able to pull myself back together, I sat beside him on the cot until he fell asleep and Koa came to talk to me. —--------------------------- He motioned for me to follow him out of the room, which I agreed to. “He apparently went with Isaac and Landon to help on a recon mission.

    Recap: “I can be okay with that.” I walked up to him so that I could wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head against his chest. He pulled me in closer while resting his cheek on the top of my head. “Thank you.” He whispered against my hair. I looked up at him with a mischievous grin causing him to look at me questioningly. “What are you thinking?” Instead of giving him a verbal response, I slid my hands to the buttons on his shirt before undoing them. He chuckled before lifting me and carrying me into a luxurious bedroom for our first time as a married couple. —------------------------------- Our honeymoon was filled with different adventures and experiences. On our last day of the honeymoon, I finally convinced him to go swimming in the ocean with me. “Babe, is this really necessary? You know I don’t care for swimming let alone for swimming with fish.” I chuckled at his panicked expression. “You’re the big bad hitman but afraid of fish?” I teased him, causing him to give a

  • To Catch a Dream   First Night Completed

    Recap: “Let’s do it.” I grinned while standing on my tiptoes so that I could kiss his lips. Once everyone was done eating their food it was time to cut the cake. Koa and I grinned at each other as we were each handed a piece. Azzie was standing next to me and Ethan was standing next to Koa. We moved in like we were going to get each other with the pieces of cake, but at the last second I smashed my piece of wedding cake into Ethan’s face while Koa did Azzie’s. The room erupted into fits of laughter while our second hands looked shocked. The rest of the night was filled with laughter and dancing. Our DJ asked everyone to leave the room so that Koa and I could have one last dance before the wedding was completely finished, giving us a moment to catch our breath. —-------------------------- I was surprised when Koa did not go back to the penthouse or even stay at my family’s house but instead drove to the airport. “What are we doing here?” I turned in the front seat to get a better loo

He gave a wolfish grin while nodding slowly before pulling me into him.“That and so much more, little Dawn.” He chuckled, planting a swift kiss on my temple before holding me tightly. “I’m so sorry for all of this though.” I nodded while rubbing his back gently.“I know.” I whispered.—--------------------The day has finally come for the wedding. It has definitely been a stressful week leading up to this day but now here I am standing in front of the mirror taking in my reflection.

Before leaving the living room I turned back towards him, speaking up, “Now you can either come be a part of us or you can sit out here by yourself. If it were up to me though, I’d be making you get off your arse and follow me back to the rest of our families.” He nodded, standing up, quickly grabbing my hand in his.

    Recap:“You need to talk to him.” I gave him a skeptical glare. “Just listen to me for a minute. I think you do need to talk to him about this. Wait until you’ve calmed down and then talk to him. Be honest about all of it. You’re supposed to be marrying him in just a couple of weeks and you can’t start a marriage like this.” I nodded slowly as I took in his words, knowing deep down that he was right.—-----------------------After eating our food and continuing towards the lighter conversation topics, we paid the bill and left.

Placing your due date around late May or early June.”—--------I could hear the echoed voices around me as I became hyper aware of the heartbeat thumping throughout the small exam room. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Koa grasp my hand. I looked from the little monitor up towards him just as he brought our hands up to his lips, placing a gentle kiss to my knuckles. I gave a small smile while he watched me closely.

When I didn’t respond she walked over next to me, gathering the small test into her hands. “Holy crap!”I nodded meekly while feeling my hands beginning to shake. My breathing began to pick up speed in short huffs so she pulled me into her embrace.“Are you going to tell Koa?” I finally shifted to give her a skeptical look.“Of course I am! Why wouldn’t I?” I hissed. She shrugged while placing the test back onto the bathroom counter.“I
