"Auttie, come here." Sir Bruce calls for me.
"Coming!" I yell, quickly putting my book down and running down the stairs to the living room where he is sitting.
"What were you up to?" he asks, as I enter the room.
"Reading." I reply, making him chuckle.
"You and your books." he comments.
"It's how I learn." I retort.
"Well, did you want to take a break and play a game?" he asks, and I nod my head happily.
"It's a new game, we haven't played it before, but I think you're going to like it and we have all weekend to do it. We just can't play in front of Madam Diana though, okay? Don't even talk about it. She really doesn't like it and she can get really mad fast, and I wouldn't want her to take it out on you accidentally. She sometimes gets out of control." he explains, and my eyes widen.
"Is it a bad game?" I ask, worriedly but he quickly shakes his head.
"It's really fun, Diana just had a bad experience playing once and has hated it since." he replies simply, and I nod my head in understanding.
"How do we play?" I ask.
"Pretty easy, first you go and lay down on the couch and then I'm going to put a blindfold over your eyes, okay? It's only for a few seconds so don't worry. It's like hide and seek." he explains.
"Oh, okay." I reply, going and laying on the empty couch across from him.
He comes over to me and places a blindfold over my eyes.
"Okay now put both your hands up above your head and then count to 10." he says.
"What do I do after 10?" I ask.
"Don't worry, I will tell you when we get there." he tells me, and I nod my head again before raising both my arms above my head.
"I'm just going to snap on 2 game bracelets, okay? They are going to help you." he says, and I feel as he clips on two slightly uncomfortable bracelets around my wrists, and I begin to count to 10.
Before I can even make it to 7 though, I suddenly feel bracelets on my feet too.
"Um Sir Bruce?" I question a bit panicked.
"Shh." he replies and as I open my mouth to ask him why they were on my ankles, I feel something being shoved into my mouth and hear the sound of snap as it is somehow secured to my mouth and wrapped around my head.
I begin to panic as my heartbeat starts to pick up and I try to scream but it only gets muffled.
"Don't worry, I'm going to make you feel so good, Auttie baby." Bruce's voice murmurs in a tone that was new to me, and I shiver in fear as he rips my dress roughly from my body.
I begin to cry as I feel his rough hands begin traveling down my body, pinching at my nipples before going and rubbing against my private area.
Stop! I try to scream but only a muffled sound is heard.
When his hands finally stop roaming my body, I finally think it's over. As I wait for him to take the thing out of my mouth, I suddenly feel something wide rubbing against my area and my stomach instantly sinks.
Before I can even processes anything, a rippling burning sensation rips threw my core as a loud scream leaves my mouth that even the thing in my mouth, could barely muffle. The attack only gets worse, muffled screams and cries leave me as my body thrashes around trying to break free when suddenly a new voice is heard.
Autumn!
Autumn wake up!
AUTUMN!
I instantly jolt awake with a painful gasp as a sob racks through my body.
"Shh, little fawn. It's okay, your safe. I'm here." I hear Ryker's familiar soothing voice whisper.
I take in a deep breath as I realize I'm curled up in Ryker's lap with the bedside lamp on.
"What happened?" he asks me gently.
"Nightmare." I whisper brokenly.
"About drowning? Or about men?" he asks me softly.
"Sir Bruce... it was a memory... of the first time... he...entered me. It hurt so bad. It was so painful..." I sob.
"Shh, my little fawn, It's okay now. I'm sorry I can't take your pain away or change what has happened, but I promise you it will never happen again. This disgusting monster took something that should have been a special pleasurable moment and destroyed it for you. I am so sorry." he murmurs to me softly.
"Diana use to say sex is supposed to feel good, but never did it feel good with him." I admit, feeling sad and confused.
"She didn't lie to you. You have been forced into situations you didn't want to be in. When you bed a man, you should want it just as much as him and you should be able to enjoy it and when two people have intercourse together, they are both supposed to be willing and wanting. It should be an amazing experience for both." he explains to me.
"Like how amazing?" I ask curiously.
"It's like you're in a whole other universe." he replies with a small smile.
"I want to experience it like that one day." I murmur quietly.
"You will, I promise. One day when you're ready and you find someone who you want to explore that with and that you trust. You will." he promises, and I bite my lip, taking in every word of what he has said.
I stood in front of the mirror and smiled as I looked over my beautiful forest green dress one last time. "Beautiful, mommy." my sweet daughter Sabrina's voice murmured from behind me. Turning around I smiled at the little angel who looked just like Rayne. "Not as beautiful as you." I smiled to her. Grabbing her small hand, I led her out of the room and down the stairs where Lucy and Selena were patiently waiting for us with wide smiles. "You look so beautiful, Autumn." Lucy compliments, before pulling me into a quick hug. "Thanks, Luce. Is everyone here?" I ask, and she nods her head happily. "Did the boys make it to their fathers?" I ask, and she laughs. "Shockingly, yes." she replies, and we all laugh. "Come on, Sabrina. Let's go outside and wait with everyone." Selena pipes up before scooping her up into her arms. I watch them leave before slipping on some black ballet flats and turning towards Lucy. "Thank you for doing this with me." I tell her softly, as she takes my
The day was finally here. The twins would be exiting the womb and coming into our lives physically and I was beyond excited and terrified. Today I would be getting a planned C-Section. I was 36 weeks pregnant, and my doctor advised having a planned C-Section as my babies weren't growing much anymore, most likely due to my small size so it was best for them to come out, so they could continue to grow. "How are you feeling, princess?" Rayne asks, laying next to me. We had just woken up and Ryker went to go wake up the rest of the family since everyone had come down again just this time for the birth and were staying with us. "Excited but terrified. I am so excited to see their little faces, but the thought of having my stomach cut open is just terrifying." I reply, anxiety coursing through my veins. "It'll be okay, princess. You won't feel a thing and me and Ryker will be there the whole time." he replies soothingly. "Thank you." I say, and he kisses me softly. The past couple week
A few more weeks has passed since Zephyr came and met the other side of my family and he has made it a habit to come and visit me at least 3 times a week since then. My father's side of the family and Zephyr have gotten along amazingly. Lucy has even taken him in like her own son, since finding out they he has never had any motherly figure in his life since my mother vanished. I'm now 29 weeks and my belly has gotten much larger. I still have 11 weeks to go but I was happy because today was my baby shower and the best part? It was in my new house. It was finally built, and I couldn't wait to see the inside of it. The boys wanted me to wait until today, saying that one of the large baby shower gifts was already there, and they wanted it to be a big surprise. Lucy had already been there, and she said it was a beautiful house and that I was absolutely going to love it and it was big enough to hold all the family that lived away so that ways when we had big family get togethers, like to
It's been a few weeks since being in the fae realm and I was now 22 weeks pregnant. Once we had left the fae realm, we had gone back to Ryker's for a while before traveling back to my father's land where I had an ultrasound and found out I was having twin boys. I was pretty excited and so was Ryker and Rayne for the most part. Ever since everything that had happened with Bella, Rayne had to make the decision of what to do with her. In the end, he chose execution. As much as it killed him to have her killed, it would have hurt him and his family more to watch her suffer and die slowly in a cell for the rest of her life and after her crimes those were her only choices, so he told me. Ever since then, he has been distant. He does his best to be happy, but I can tell he is hurting. To make it worse though, he also has been traveling back to the fae realm a lot and wasn't with us as much which made me sad, but I knew he needed his time and space to cope and grieve and I had respect that.
I wake up and stretch, feeling refreshed and full of life. As I open my eyes, I look around to see a room full of people and furrow my brows, but as my eyes settle on Zephyr, everything quickly comes back to me. "Bella?" I ask, looking over at Rayne. "In a cell with on the clock watch." he replies, and I let out a small breath of relief. "How are you feeling, little fawn?" I hear Ryker say, and look over to see him standing beside the other side of my bed. "Great." I reply, happy to see him. "Autumn, we are so sorry for everything that happened. We still cannot believe Bella was behind this the whole time." Poppy admits sadly. "It's okay, Pop. It was a shock to me too, but I quickly went into save my mate mode. I guess it triggered my inner fae in the process." I reply, with a small smile. "You are very powerful for part fae." Zephyr comments, making me grin. "Must be from our mother." I say softly, and he gives me a sad smile. "I'm sorry for everything that happened. Bella w
Holy shit. It was Bella. What the hell was she doing here? She was supposed to be in her office. Unless maybe she came down here to interrogate one of the prisoners? I watch as she moves some vines away from the wall and I see a pink flower that looks just like the ones on the vine, but yet wasn't attached to it which was strange. As I continue to watch, she grabs the flower and twists it around three times before suddenly the wall beside her covered in vines as well, suddenly pops out. She grabs it and pulls it open, just enough so she can slip inside before it shuts quietly behind her. We stay crouched for a few more minutes before standing back up and making our way to the same vines. Ready? As ready as I will ever be. We repeat the same process and quietly but cautiously go through the door as it shuts behind us. I look down to see concrete stairs going down a flight or two and we make our way down until we reach the bottom. I see a steel door with a small window, and we qui
