last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-10-02 02:13:00

Later on , I am finally able to stock up the fridge and pantry . I fry scrambled eggs, bacon strips, and some baked beans for the men. After eating, we lounge in the living room, with Brandon and Noah arguing over their favorite superhero, and Gabe siding with Noah. I pretend not to notice Brandon’s eyes lingering on me when he thinks I am not paying attention. I grab my nonfiction book, The Werewolf Series, and start reading.

Brandon reads the cover and teases me. “Nothing you read in there is real, My Queen. If you want to know anything, just ask me,” he says, flashing his pearly whites at me.

I laugh. “I know, but I just love a good fantasy romance. This one has a coven of witches in it too, so lots of magic and extra spice.”

By noon, the live-in has cleaned the apartment from top to bottom and fluffed all the pillows in preparation for the guests we were expecting. I burn some scented candles, and we all chip in to make sure the space is spic and span. Brandon has checked his

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Karly

    A few moments later, Brandon steps back into the room, mouth set in a tight line, his wolf flashing in his eyes.“It seems Karly may have been caught on camera sneaking around. She is in a lot of trouble cornered in a back alley and surrounded. Gabe left with the extra armed guards in the lobby to assess the situation. He will call us for backup if he needs it.”Shawn is on his feet already. “Shouldn’t one of us at least follow them as extra backup, just in case we need to call the police?”Desmond’s mouth tightens with worry and says, “Shawn, you cannot go in like this, all guns blazing. Caution is needed so the victim doesn’t get hurt.”Brandon settles the argument. “None of you is wrong. Once he calls, I will follow up. But he is a werewolf trained by the best , me. Plus, he didn’t go alone. I think they can handle it.”I can’t even contribute anything; my heart is racing. Rather I seek comfort in Noah “Noah, please come and sit with Mummy. Let’s watch cartoons together.”“Okay, M

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Distress Call

    The living room feels full of sunshine after the storm we just braved in the office. Half-eaten sandwiches from the deli across the street sit forgotten on disposable plates, the smell of onions, garlic, and grilled chicken stil lingered in the air.Noah is laughing at something Gabe said. He seems to be beating Gabe at Snakes and Ladders, a game he only learned a few hours ago. I beam with pride That's my son , his laughter is a balm on our over stimulated nerves, a constant reminder that innocence still exists in the world even after hours of plotting and planning.The men lean back, their heads resting against the cushions, like they are fighting migraines from all the thinking. Just as I reach for my cup of juice , a phone starts ringing loudly. I glance at each one of them, but no one moves. Then my eyes settle on Gabe.“Is that yours? “I ask he nods his head at me and picks up. “Hello? “Yes, who is this, please?” At first, his voice sounds normal like its a normal

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Anna Darcy

    I shift and make myself more comfortable in my chair. I think about Anna the way she was in high school: Sweet. Meek. Gentle. Kind. Compared to how she is now… Anna has been through too much at the hands of the Clarks. Do we really want to drag her into this vendetta? Exposing her affair with him straight out of high school, barely an adult? Shawn is the one who breaks the ice first. “I vote we expose every malicious thing Morgan did to her. If female voters find out about her, hear Anna’s pain and what she experienced at his hand, he will never win the elections. They won’t vote for him. They will put themselves in Anna’s shoes. Let the world know they are rotten to their very core.” Desmond exhales slowly before arguing. “Shawn, that lady has walked through the valley of the shadow of death. Her case is delicate, and I don’t think it’s fair to expose her pain. Remember, she has a family now. This is not a decision we should make lightly.” Brandon leans back gripp

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Coffee or Something Stronger

    The energy in the room shifts instantly. The playful banter and light jokes from earlier, the sound of Noah and Gabe in the kitchen, fade into the background.Desmond strides over to my left, leans down, and presses a kiss against my cheek.“Hey, beautiful.”I can’t help the blush that warms my face. “Hey, Desmond.”On my right, Shawn settles beside me, lifting my hand to his lips.“Baby, how are you?” His voice is low, teasing, and he winks at me.“I’m okay… considering the circumstances.”Brandon, always the perfect host and yet carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, clears his throat and asks. “What will you two like Coffee? Or something much stronger?”Desmond rubs his chin thinking. “I think we should start with coffee. Something tells me it’s going to be a very long day.”Shawn laughs darkly. “I agree with Desmond. We’ll need the caffeine fix to keep our brains sharp.”Brandon nods once and heads to the kitchen. A few Minutes later he returns with steaming mugs. Onc

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Sweet Cravings

    A few days later, I find myself craving a sweet breakfast waffles with maple syrup. I only crave sweet things when I’m nervous. The men will all be here today so we can catch up on the latest developments and make a plan. Hence the need for something sweet and heavy this morning.I bring out all the ingredients on the counter :flour, buttermilk, sugar, butter, and vanilla essence. Switching on the stereo, I start singing along softly with the music. Baking has always been therapeutic for me. Soon enough, the smell of waffles fills the air, and I know my wolves will be out shortly, following their noses.Brandon emerges first, sniffing the air with his nose up.“Aaliyah, that smells amazing.”I laugh. Wolves and food. “Good morning to you too,” I tease. “I’m making waffles. Please set the table.”“Don’t mind if I do, my queen.”After he sets the table, Gabe arrives, and we all settle down to eat.“Boss, this is wonderful. Your food reminds me of my Ma back at hime so delicious and fill

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Simple Moments

    I sit in my favorite chair, for a while mulling over the entire conversation. Her body language, her surprise when I told her I met Amelia the night before. I know she wasn't aware but she will not admit it. To admit means to accept that she was outsmarted by someone below her and that will not do. The apartment is so quiet, the tension from earlier on slowly easing away. Brandon and Noah walk into the house, both of them sitting by my side.Brandon holds my hand and says, “Their visit went so much better than I expected. I was geared for war.” He chuckles drily, giving me a small tentative smile.“She raised the Amelia attack, and I nearly lost it, Brandon .” Leaning on his shoulder for support, I add, “I kept my cool for our son.”He smiles. “I must applaud you. You handled the Luna with decorum even though she tried to push your buttons. I would have lost it…”Noah runs past us to his bedroom, bored with all the adult conversation and drama that nearly unfolded. I watch his bac
