LOGINKalix froze. In fact, I was pretty sure we all froze. “My wife is pregnant?” “Yes.” Natasha nodded. “With my baby?” “No, the mailman’s.” She snorted, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Who else would it be?” “I’m going to be a father?” A giggle bubbled past her lips. “That’s typically what happe
I recognized the look on Kalix’s face whenever his sister and Shayla were in the same room. The mixture of awe, terror, and bliss was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. We had everything we could’ve ever wanted and would do anything to keep it that away. “Where’s Natasha and Hakeem?” Shayla aske
Nox’s P.O.V. Six Years Later “You no good cheater!” I heard my mate belt from across the backyard. Her father’s boisterous laugh followed, drawing my eyes. The two of them stood in the stand pit off to the side of the pool and were currently hitting a volleyball back and forth. Jada and Brinley w
I threaded my arm through his and patted his hand. “Well, now you can focus on other things.” A gleam of nervousness filled his eyes. “So, is everything ready for tonight?” Shayla often mentioned how flustered she’d get by Kalix’s smooth charm, but she was the only one who failed to see how nervou

My hands were wedged against his chest, which meant I couldn’t punch him in the throat the way I wanted. It wasn’t a total loss, though. I managed to bring my knee up and land a solid jab to his balls. Despite how hard he tried to keep it in, he let out a whisper of a groan. “Why am I not surprised
My first day of classes came and went without any more altercations. The first thing I did when I got back to my apartment was rummage through the trash for every empty can I could find. I strung each one together and hung the shitty garland across my front door in a pattern that would create the mo
Shayla had just left when I arrived, heading over to Brinley’s for a sleepover of some sort. The two of them were the oddest paring I’d ever seen. Both seemed to accept whatever feelings the other had for me. Not once had they fought, even when Brinley openly flirted or Shayla peppered me with those
Nox’s P.O.V. Crouched on the flat rooftop of a small hardware store, I watched Lilac as she walked down the street with the same interest as a predator stalking its prey. It just so happened that I wasn’t the only one hunting her tonight. Did she know she was being followed? I wasn’t referring t
