Excited Rain

As Finn hurried them through the heart of the pack, River clutched Rain's hand tightly, her senses on high alert. Despite Finn's seemingly genuine demeanor, the reality of their situation – a rogue with a mysterious letter and a child in tow – wasn't to their advantage.Just then, the aroma of pastries filled the air, emanating from a warm, inviting glow across the square. It was the famous pack's bakery. River remembered it quite well and it brought a faint smile to her face.This right here, made her feel nostalgic yet again.As they proceeded, the glow of the bakery across the square grew stronger. But just before they reached it, Finn turned down a side street, leading River to a quaint building she hadn't noticed before.k"This is it?" she asked, surprised. Nuzzled right in front of the bakery was a restaurant that had its windows dark and doors locked. River swallowed. She didn't like dark.Being tucked away in the De La Morts dark mansion for seven years had made her grow a na

Paranoid Or Not?

The woman beside Annemarie, with eyes like Finn's warm brownish eyes gave River a friendly nod.River dipped her head in acknowledgment even though she still had her uncertainties. Despite the seemingly warm welcome, she couldn't shake the feeling that she'd stumbled into the middle of something much bigger."And as you've already discovered," Finn continued, pointing at Leo, "that little ball of energy there is Leo. My nephew.""Nephew?" River repeated, surprised. Leo looked remarkably similar to Finn, but the age difference threw her off. “I thought he is yours.”As if sensing her confusion, Annemarie stepped forward with a motherly smile that made River yearn for her own mother. "Finn and Leo looks like they are father and son, right honey? Everyone thinks so but Leo belongs to my Tara. Although, Finn practically raised him like his own son.”Finn seemed like a remarkable man. A warmth bloomed in River's chest on finally meeting one man that seemed normal. The family dynamic was une

Itsy Bitsy Spider

River pushed aside the unsettling question about Annemarie's gaze. She decided the events of the day were getting to her and keeping her on the edge. Rain's half-eaten cookie lay abandoned on the armchair, its chocolatey scent mingling with the warmth of the fireplace. It was definitely past bedtime. Walking towards them, River addressed Annemarie with a whiff of exhaustion in her voice. "Thank you so much, Annemarie. Rain really needs her sleep now."Annemarie looked up from her book, her smile crinkling the corners of her eyes. "Of course, dear. Rain, come say goodnight to your mother."Rain, still snuggled in the armchair, reached for another cookie but stopped at her mother's words. "Nighty-night, Leo," she chirped, offering a sloppy wave in the direction of the boy sprawled on the rug.Leo, with nose buried deep in his picture book, mumbled a barely audible response. But before River could remind Rain about manners, Rain surprised everyone. Rain hopped off the armchair, the hal

A Nightmare

River trembled, fighting back a scream because she didn't want to wake their hosts up. Lord Draven stood in front of her, the streak of moonlight illuminating his pale skin and his crimson eyes glowing like malevolent embers. The air became cloying as the sweetness of his cologne became overpowered by the musky scent of death that clung to him as usual.It was all a scent that River knew too well. One she dreaded."Itsy Bitsy spider, little human," he purred, his lips curving into a sinister smile.River wanted to flee. That was the one thing she knew how to do best– running from her fears. How was she to handle this problem that came knocking on her door?Why won't Lord Draven leave her alone?"I'm not your little human, Lord Draven," River, twisting her fingers in fear chose to not choose weakness this time.She was tired of being weak. Of being the weak Omega. “How many times did I have to say it? I'm not the little girl of seven years ago and you know that too.”He tilted his head

Where is Rain?

The soft knocking came again and more insistent this time. River took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves at least, for Rain. Whoever or whatever was by the door was knew how to knock gently.It must be one of their hosts, River decided."Who is it?" she called out, her voice uncertain."River? It's Tara. Are you awake?" a muffled voice replied.Phew! It was just Tara as suspected.Relief washed over River, chasing away the wavering dread of the nightmare. Tara! It was just Tara."Yes, Tara, come in," she called back, her voice trembling slightly but filled with relief.Cautiously, she unlatched the door and it creaked open, revealing Tara's concerned face which was highlighted by the dim glow of the hallway bulb."River? What's wrong?" Tara asked, her voice filled with worry. "We heard screaming coming from your room."Shame almost turned River into a squirrel. "It was just a nightmare," she mumbled, stepping back to allow Tara into the room.Tara's gaze darted towards the bed,

Earning Her Keep

She burst into the living room and the scene before her stole the breath from her lungs. Rain sat snuggled between Leo and AnneMarie at the breakfast table with a contented smile on her face as she devoured a plate of pancakes.Relief washed over River in a very hard way. It was so intense that it left her legs weak. She stumbled towards them, tears stinging her eyes. The fear that had enveloped her when she couldn't find her daughter, the feeling it brought, it almost ran her insane.She never wanted to feel such again. Never. Ever.Laughter filled the air as AnneMarie told a story to the kids. The trio hadn't noticed her at first. River's legs buckled and she leaned against the doorway with her chest heaving. Shame washed over her as the realization that she had been impulsive dawned on her."Rain!" she called out again, this time her voice softer since she’d found her daughter. "There you are, sweetheart."Rain looked up with a smile blooming on her face. "Mama!" she squealed, scr

Haunting Past

AnneMarie's eyes widened in surprise when River offered to go, then softened with understanding. "Are you sure, dear? You look exhausted."River straightened her back, forcing a smile. "I'm alright. Besides, it's the least I can do. You've all been very kind to us."Annemarie’s face became expressionless at first, and then morphed into a warm smile after. "Thank you, dear. That would be a tremendous help. Just follow Tara, she'll show you the ropes."River modded and headed forward where she pushed open the swinging door. The moment she stepped out and behind the counter with Tara, the warm aroma of pancakes and brewing coffee hit her like a wave. Tara, whose hair was a whirlwind of ginger curls glanced up from the stack of plates in her hand. Flour dusted her apron like a second skin, and a smudge of what looked like blueberry jam adorned her cheek.Perfect kitchen mess; River almost laughed at her but she comported herself.“Hey, Tara.” She greeted her instead."Another pair of han

Mischievous Rain

Rain whirled around, startled by the hysteria in her mother's voice. Her big mischievous eyes met River's agitated ones and a small frown creased her forehead. "Oh, Mama?" she questioned.Terror flooded River's face as she watched her daughter clinging precariously to the edge. “Rain! Get down from there, now!" River shrieked with panic.Rain, who was bewildered by the sudden outburst from her mother scrambled back from the window. "But Mama," she whimpered, her voice trembling with remorse, "I just wanted to see the stars better. Remember, you said they were beautiful up close?"Stars in the morning?Who was this mischievous little girl kidding? River scoffed. The remorse in her voice already told River she was up to some mischief and was trying to find excuses for being caught.However, the relief from seeing her daughter clamber safely down from the windowsill was so bountiful that she even forgot that for a moment.She buried her face in Rain's soft hair after her daughter ran into

The Unwanted Luna

Annemarie sat down on the bed beside River, touching her gently. “It must be hard, dear. Knowing your sister, the one who took your betrothed and made you run away is close."River let out a humorless chuckle. "Even you know that story, Annemarie?"Annemarie gave her a sad smile. "It's a tale told for years in the pack. It is a sad story, I must say. And it's painful how they didn't see the true you, the strong and gifted woman you are. They laughed at you instead. But River, you are bigger than any one of us could comprehend. I'm sure you know that already.”Her mother’s letter did say the same but it all didn't make sense to her. However, her mother’s letter also told her not to trust anyone with her secret. So, for all she knew, Annemarie might not even know anything about the content of the letter apart from what Finn had told her about. ‘Witchery’. Therefore, she wouldn't just blurt it out but act oblivious until she was sure.“Just how much do you know, Annemarie? What do you m

Petty Seduction

Gonzalo McGruff~~After the fall, shame crawled up Gonzalo's throat like a bitter weed. Every eye in the bar seemed fixed on him– the fallen Alpha, sprawled on the floor like a commoner. He mumbled his apologies and felt the words scraping against his pride like a saw. There was no way he could stay. It would be way too embarrassing and wouldn't be good for his reputation for rumors to circulate the next morning about the failed Alpha Gonzalo who had turned into a drunkard now.He slipped out of the tavern, the neon sign radiating a garish red glow on his face as he walked past it, making Gonzalo wish he could smash all of his aggression into the thing. The night air felt strangely cold despite the anger churning within him. Anger at his pathetic situation, at his ruined night, and at not being able to help that little girl and her mother.Back at the pack house, he moved like shadow and lightning bolt, hoping to retreat unnoticed to his room. He’d prefer not to be seen at all.Th
