Who put onions here?!?! Sending everyone virtual tissue boxes!! PS: This story is ending on the 25th, but there's still quite a bit to uncover. There are more character developments to root for, and don't fret, our Alpha Titus isn't giving up that easily. Hehe. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
The plane lands smoothly on the runway and I am equal parts excited and dreadful.I am excited to see my son after two weeks of being away from him. It’s the longest we had ever been apart from each other. Frankly, I’m surprised I lasted that long, but it wasn’t my choice. I had to put fully recovering as my priority.But at the same time, I am dreading this whole ordeal because I know that I’m not ready.Then again, I know I never really will be.I often told myself–and others– that I was over it, that so many years have passed and I don’t let it affect me any more. For the most part, it is true, but it still doesn’t change the past. What happened ha
The air between Zane and I was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.He shakes his head and lets out a forced chuckle before turning to me with a smile that could barely be considered as one. “But that’s all in the past.”Oh… He must have meant his mate. Shit. I didn’t think he was still affected by it and now it makes sense as to why he seemed so uncomfortable with the topic.“Beklager (sorry), Frost.” I tell him with a meek smile and that’s when he turns to me and for a few seconds, he just looks at me in silence as if he’s contemplating to say something, but I can’t figure out what.He gives me a small smile. “I told you b
As Neo practically drags me into the castle, I remind myself that I am strong and that I am resilient. I can handle living here again for him and the best part? If it’s true that is– that Ivy Quinn was nowhere near this place. I think I can breathe a little better with that fact. This means one less person to pretend that they’re not around so my life here will be easier. I’ve already decided that my focus here will be Neo and Neo only. Zane, too, and Skye, if he even still remembers me, but besides some small acquaintances and friendly hello’s I don’t really plan on getting closer with anyone. Not again. Walking around the castle has me feeling agitated, especially when so many eyes are staring at me and watching every move I make. I can’t hear them, but I know that in those heads of theirs, they are communicating and talking about my sudden reappearance. Did they know I was coming back? Was it announced? Or was this a surprise to them as it was for me? Either way, I shouldn’t
“Mommy needs rest! We go to my new room, mommy!” Neo said excitedly, his eyes and smile overflowing with happiness, as he took my hand and dragged me away from everyone.He held onto my hand tightly as he made me follow him upstairs and into the hallway and a few steps later, we were in front of a light green-colored door with his name on it in the color blue.“I painted it myself!” He said proudly. “Are you ready to see it, mommy?” His eyes twinkled beautifully.I nodded my head and not a second later, he pushed open the door and I was greeted by nature's wonderland.Tall trees with branches scattered around the room. They were hanging from the ceiling and
The frozen lake is still as gorgeous as I last remember it, or even more as the beauty of Winter and Fall mixed together.Trees around the area look like they have been sprinkled with white dust. The snow on the ground is like whipped thick cream you could just roll around on.Everywhere you looked, it was like a white and orange dream, but it’s always the frozen lake that has everyone’s attention because it looks exactly like a sheet of crystals. Bright white ice, dazzling dust shimmering, and if you look at it longer, you can’t help but get pulled in by its tiny bits of blue sparkling through.It looks like you’re staring at one big diamond.“I’m ready to skate
“Your brother is such an ass,” I muttered to Skye as I tightened my laces and he put on his skates.“He is,” he agreed instantly. “But honestly? He’s been really good to Neo lately. The first night he arrived here, he was so scared and River never left his side. He did everything just to get him to fall asleep soundly and he stayed up all night watching him from the side. I’ve never seen him so happy and content. Sometimes I wonder if my brother got abducted by an alien and was replaced by someone else.” Skye let out a chuckle.I let out a soft chuckle too, mostly in order to mask what I was really feeling towards his words. Imagining River being there for Neo made my heart soft no matter how hard I tried for it not to do so.
River Colden It’s been exactly one month since Keira arrived back home in our Pack and things around here couldn’t get any better. Well, it could, if she would just take me back again, but that was a completely different story. But aside from that, our Pack seemed like it was getting much better with her around. I didn’t even have to ask her to help. A few days after she arrived, she seemed to be more than willing after Zane and Skye informed her about how not so favorable the Pack had been in the years she was gone. The two of them were the closest and most comfortable she was with at the beginning, but as each day passed, she seemed to have started loosening up to the others and I was sure that eventually, she would wholeheartedly accept the Alpha crew again. Hopefully, including me. I knock on the door and wait for Keira to let me in. It’s around six in the morning which is usually the time I come to her and Neo’s room with a tray filled with food for the two of them. A
River Colden “Good job, Neo! Just keep your leg muscles tight and don’t forget to turn your body to the angle you want to stop in!” I reminded Neo who was gliding perfectly on the ice. “Yes! Just like that! Amazing job!” I shouted at him before clapping and he smiled widely at me. “Thank you, daddy!” He shouted back at me as he waved his hockey stick. He’s been training for a while now. Sometimes I wonder if he really wants to join a real hockey team at how determined he is to learn, but I don’t ask because right now I just like spending time with him doing what he loves. Making up for lost time is all that matters. “That was really good, son. You’ll be a pro in no time.” I complimented him as we took off our ice skates together. It was nearing dinnertime and Keira had set a strict schedule for the times we spent together. He has to be back at the castle two hours before dinner so he can have time to shower and rest. At first, she would join us as I was sure she was nervous for
