Abstinence from Mel is not my thing.Damion: From lack of use, they look like frogs instead of tadpoles! But it’s gonna be fixed before the night is over 😉🌶🍆These past weeks have been pure torture. Sleeping in the same bed as the woman of my dreams while the closest physical contact I’m allowed is a hug? That should be illegal.One day without sex with Mel already feels like a damn eternity.Two weeks? Cruel and unusual punis

Chapter: 83 He's comingDate = 15 AugustPlace = San Francisco (where the haunted house was)POV - DamionThen it hits me. The bag. I raise both hands. “Stay here … don’t go anywhere … okay?”“Where the hell would I go, stupid?!” she snarls.Fair point.I sprint to the front of the truck and grab the hospital bag and a blanket from the back seat. Thankfully, my sexy baby-mama actually listened to the doctor and packed everything weeks ago in case something like this happened. Smart woman.I rush back just in time to hear another scream tear out of her.“Keep calm,” I say frantically. “Just stay calm, angel … and breathe …”Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m talking to her or myself. She grabs the front of my shirt in a grip strong enough to wrestle bears.“Don’t you tell me what to do!” she rasps.Right. Not calm. Very not calm.“Uh … don’t shout,” I say nervously. “It might … fall out.”I immediately regret those words.My brain is running on zero oxygen at this point. I’m so scared, I’m pretty sure I’ve forgott

Fifth.Hell … it’s just a wedding. And not even our wedding. And there’s still plenty of time.“We’re still at the building site,” I explain calmly … again. “We got what we came for.”What we came for is currently in Mel’s hand — a blue box, containing a tiny piece of blue jewelry that apparently carries the emotional weight of the entire ceremony.A little

Chapter: 81 The best treasureDate = 14 FebruaryPlace = San Francisco (different places)POV - MelaenaI rush through Damion’s front door with my three loyal followers stomping in behind me, only to find Luke on one of the sofas we previously experimented on. Honestly … we’ve had infamous experiments on most of the furniture in this house by now.His face lights up like Christmas morning.Before I can even say hello, he’s bouncing up and down like a hyperactive puppy and literally throws the next clue at me.Honestly, will I ever get used to the Grimm boys and their wild energy? All three of them are overcharged, cocky, bouncing balls of ridiculously cute male chaos.I swear they run on caffeine, testosterone, and bad decisions.Then again … my four brothers aren’t exactly shining examples of calm, civilized male behavior either. Put all the boys in the same room, and you basically get a testosterone-fueled natural disaster fueled by adrenaline.Sometimes I genuinely wonder how Haley survives. Does she ever get t

The same sagging roof. The same broken windows staring back like hollow eyes.Three weeks ago, this place was a nightmare.Now … oddly enough … the looming darkness is not that dark anymore.The darkness feels thinner somehow. Less suffocating. Like the house knows its reign of terror is officially over.I rub my hand slowly over my stomach.There will always be a hole left by the loved ones we lost. That kind of loss doesn’t magically disappear.But the crushing weight of it … that will fade. Eventually. Because life doesn’t end in this broken place. It moves forward. And so will we.A small smile tugs at the corner of my mouth.I’ll help every one of the San Francisco Boys find happiness. Every las

Chapter: 79 A new graveDate = 14 FebruaryThree weeks passed. A sorrowful time. A therapeutic time. A time of grieving and healing.Place = San Francisco (graveyard)That’s where you bury the dead.POV - MelaenaI shift my legs, trying to find a position that doesn’t make every muscle in my body complain like a group of pensioners at a broken elevator. The freshly planted grass covering the heap beneath me is soft, still damp from morning dew, the blades bending under my weight.I place the red flowers carefully against the brand-new marble tombstone. It smells faintly of dust and rain, the engraved letters too sharp, too fresh, like the universe hasn’t yet realized how wrong they are.A few tears slip down my cheek before I can stop them. I wipe them away quickly with the back of my hand, glancing around as if someone might catch me.Which is stupid.Because crying at a grave is probably the one place society actually allows emotional breakdowns without judgment.Still. I didn’t know it was possible to fee
