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

  • To Catch a Dream   That's What He Said

    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

  • To Catch a Dream   Cursed Holiday

    I have now been undercover for six months, finding the weak link as my mother put it, in order to find how we could take care of the blackmail incident once and for all. It's my birthday tomorrow and I just wanted to be back at home with my family and Koa. I sighed to myself knowing that my wish wouldn't be coming true. I stared out the window of the large mansion that I called 'home' for the last half of a year when I noticed some flashes coming from down below. I quickly threw on my jacket when I heard the crashing coming from the first floor. Grabbing my hidden pistol and tucking it safely into my holster located under my jacket, I quickly dashed down the stairs.I stood in awe as I took in the sight before me. Standing there were the two sets of twins, Isaac and Landon, and Liam and Parker. They all wore huge grins when they saw me. "Ma found out enough. Time to take you home, little sis." Isaac spoke just as a guy came from behind. The four of them glared as the right-hand grabbe

  • To Catch a Dream   Mama Just Killed a Man

    We spent the rest of the day partying, which would have normally been right up my alley but I hadn't been feeling too well lately. The nausea would come and go so I just figured that the feeling was due to all of the stress that my family and I were under. Ethan noticed that I wasn't drinking any alcohol and came over to sit beside me, his eyebrows knit together in worry. I chuckled quietly and held out my pointer finger trying to smooth out the small "v" that had formed on his forehead just between his eyebrows. "You are just determined to get wrinkles..Aren't you?" He rolled his eyes playfully but didn't smile, instead he simply placed the back of his hand to my forehead."No fever.." He mumbled, causing me to lift a brow in questioning. "I just wanted to know if you're sick. I've never known you to turn down booze, especially now.""What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'm an alcoholic?" I questioned him, hearing the bite in my own voice. He simply shook his head while hol

  • To Catch a Dream   The Aftermath

    The week went by in a blur. I couldn’t bring myself to actually leave my room as the news began to settle in. A light knock sounded at my door before Parker entered my darkened bedroom. “Hey Eira…how are you feeling?” He whispered. I gave a slight shrug as he sat next to me. “Do you feel like visiting with the family today?” I shook my head as I kept my eyes trained on my lap. “Will you at least think about it?” I gave a small nod causing him to kiss the top of my head before he left me alone. I covered my body with my fuzzy blanket and blinked away the silent tears that had fallen. I tensed when I heard the door open. “Okay. That’s enough.” I glared up towards the tall silhouette standing above me. “Go away Koa.” My voice came out as a raspy whisper. He shook his head as he pulled the blanket off of me.“No. You aren’t the only one that is hurting from this. Now get up.” I glared at him, shaking my head as I stubbornly crossed my arms over my chest. His jaw tensed briefly before he

  • To Catch a Dream   The Secrets We Keep

    I woke the next morning to an empty bed with the sun shining through the slightly opened curtains. I groaned as I attempted to go back to sleep but sighed, giving up at my feeble attempt. I tossed the covers to the side and pulled on some shorts and one of Koa’s hoodies. I walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen but hesitated when I heard Koa talking with my mother in her office. I knocked on the door before quickly entering the large office. They both turned to look towards me before glancing back at each other. “Hi.” I greeted them cautiously. Koa smiled as he walked over to me, pulling me gently into his side. “Good morning.” He placed a brief kiss on my temple. “What were you two just talking about?” I questioned while glancing between the two of them suspiciously. Koa shrugged while my mother just watched us. “Ma?” She gave a slight nod before gesturing towards the chairs set in front of her desk. I sat down in the one directly in front of her while Koa sat next to me, h

    “What all is this about, Koa? You’ve been acting suspicious all day.” I chuckled while eyeing him suspiciously. He smirked, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. “Mhm…Sure…” I playfully stuck my tongue out at him before lifting the menu to look at. After deciding on the salad and steak I set the menu off to the side. A waitress walked over soon after to take our drink and food order. “Hi, what can I get you handsome?” She greeted, her attention focused towards Koa. I rolled my eyes as I bit the inside of my cheek. He seemed to notice. “Babe?” He drew her attention towards me. I shifted my eyes towards him, waiting for him to speak again. “What would you like?” The waitress glared daggers at me while I was trying to hide the smug look showing on my face. “Some water and the salad with steak. Medium rare.” He used his hand to cover his proud smirk before nodding briefly.“Same.” He began, “But also bring out the best bottle of wine. Oh, and just a suggestion, I wouldn’t piss my fianc

  • To Catch a Dream   It's Real

    I woke up the next morning and pulled on a hoodie and some pajama shorts before walking downstairs towards the kitchen. I was surprised to see the house empty but smiled at the calmness. I set my mug into the keurig while waiting for the water to warm up for my coffee. Just a few brief moments later, the smell of mild roast coffee filled the air around the kitchen. I took this moment to sit on the front porch while slowly sipping at the hot liquid warming my favorite mug. About twenty minutes later, the familiar black dodge durango pulled into the family’s driveway before my brothers piled out of the SUV. I grinned while admiring the close bond that happened within our family’s bloodlines. “Dawnie!” My brother, Parker shouted as soon as he saw me. I smiled warmly at him while waving.“Hey Park. Where have you been lately?” I smirked, teasing the youngest of my brothers. He playfully rolled his eyes.“Oh you know, here and there.” He chuckled while giving a noncommittal shrug. I burst

  • To Catch a Dream   It's Time

    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. You can’t react if you want to know all of the details, do you understand?” I rolled my eyes at my husba

    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

    Recap:Forming a cross over where my heart was located, I spoke, “I promise. I will do as I’m told just this once.” He chuckled while shaking his head. I tossed my head back as laughter slipped through my lips. “You know that’s one of the reasons that you love me.” I smirked as our eyes met, our expressions becoming more serious. 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. I turned towards the door when a light tap sounded from the wood before my sister walked in. “You look amazing, E!” She gushed causing me to give a slight nod. “You doing okay?”

    Recap: “Then do not ever, and I mean ever, lie to me again.” I warned before standing up to join the rest of my family. 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. I nodded and began to walk, but he pulled me in closer to him. He brushed his thumb across my cheek before pulling me in for a brief but sweet kiss on the lips. —------------------------- The wedding was this next Saturday so there was a lot occurring at the family house at the moment.

    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. We decided on picking up a few items at the local shop so that I could give the big surprise announcement to the rest of the family.

    Recap:“What the hell is that thing?” I blurted out while watching the monitor.“That thing, would be your child.” Doctor Williamson chuckled, causing me to childishly stick out my tongue at him. “I’d say that you are only about a month and a half along. 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.

    Pregnant?!?!I stared down at the pregnancy test placed on my bathroom counter as the timer set on my phone chimed in the background. “Well are you gonna look at it?” Azzie asked me from her spot against the bathroom door frame. 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
