Run Keiraaaa. Go back to Titus! jk if only haha
“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
It’s hard to describe the type of relationship River and I have with each other. Sometimes I even wonder if it is possible to describe it in the first place.We have a son together, but we’re not really considered a ‘family’. We’re parents, but we’re not in a relationship. It’s a very complicated conundrum that I hate thinking about, but once in a while, when River turns to me with that stupid gorgeous smile on his stupid gorgeous face, I can’t help but think – what if we were… more?More in each other’s lives, not just in our son’s. More close with one another, and not just awkwardly conversing from time to time. More in love, and not just two confused adults with very confusing feelings.I hear
The thing about second chances is that you never know you believe in it or you tell yourself that you don’t, but sometimes life happens and you find yourself debating whether or not it’s the right choice to give another chance or you’re just setting yourself up for another heartbreak. The worst part is thinking that it might even be more painful than the last and I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive that if it happens again. “I can still hear someone’s breathing!” I shouted in the middle of the woods and the wolves around me stiffened. Fifteen giant beasts surrounded me, one who wasn’t shifted, yet it was obvious that they still held a sense of fear. That was how training with me usually went. I loved the feeling of control and power amongst my peers. I walked over to the left side as I followed the sound of a constrained breathing until I reached a white and brown wolf that looked like he was going to pass out any second from now. “Cris,” I said as I looked him in the eye. I p
Titus Bane“Alpha! We’ve finished setting up the new schedule for patrols around the edge of the border.” Egan said as he ran up to follow me.It was seven in the morning and I was just finishing up my usual run. Phoenix was still pretty active and I could feel his energy running through my veins meaning I could still go for another hour, but today, I had something else to do. Something I’d been waiting for a couple of days now and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little too excited than usual.In a few hours, I would be flying off to Norway with Trinity. I didn’t think I’d be seeing her so soon, though soon was a rather vague word since it’s been almost three months since I last saw her yet it also felt like a lifetime since then
