The room does not return to normal.

Not really.

Even after Malisha has made her decision, it is far from normal. Even after they all nod and pretend as though they are ready, there is something heavy in the air.

It feels so unavoidable, and Malisha feels it the most. She is seated now with her head against the headboard, deep in thought. There is a glass of water in her hand that she has not touched.

  • Reclaiming His Mate    The Return Of The Smoke

    The room does not return to normal. Not really. Even after Malisha has made her decision, it is far from normal. Even after they all nod and pretend as though they are ready, there is something heavy in the air. It feels so unavoidable, and Malisha feels it the most. She is seated now with her head against the headboard, deep in thought. There is a glass of water in her hand that she has not touched. Her fingers are steady, but her mind is far from steady. Nothing inside of her is. She only tries to maintain steadiness outwardly simply because she can tell that everyone around her is worried, and the last thing she needs is all five of them fussing over her when she is this close to losing her shit. Because at the end of the day, she can feel it. That presence. It is faint and distant, but it is still there. Waiting, and she is trying to hold on to her sanity. "You need to drink that." Grayson's voice pulls her out of her thoughts.Malisha glances at the glass then at him. "You

  • Reclaiming His Mate    A Countermeasure?

    Malisha bolts upright gasping. Grayson catches her immediately. "Malisha." Her eyes are wide in shock, and her breathing is uneven. Sage is beside her, coughing slightly. Everyone freezes for a second looking at them. They are all in a daze by what has happened. Malisha is still in Grayson's arms shivering. No one speaks for a moment. Not because they do not have questions, but because they have too many. Malisha's hand is gripping Grayson's shirt tight. It is as though she does not realize she grabbed him. Grayson does not move, or pull away. He says nothing. He just holds her steadily. "You are back," he quietly says. Malisha nods slowly. "yeah." But her voice is still slightly off and still strained. Sage pushes himself up from the ground. Not fully steady, but controlled enough. Grayson's head snaps toward him. Just like that, the tension shifts. "You went in." Grayson's tone is low and dangerous. Sage exhales slowly. "Yes.' "You did not tell anyone." "There was no time."

  • Reclaiming His Mate    Pulling For Her

    Sage is inside now, and the first thing he notices is the darkness. Something is watching and waiting, and he can feel it. He frowns. "Malisha? There is no answer, and he moves forward carefully looking for her. He is still moving forward carefully when he hears a whisper. Without a doubt, he can tell she is not the one whispering. "You should not be in here," the voice says. Sage stills, and his jaw tightens. "That should be my line." There is a pause, and what seems like a laugh. "Of course you all never listen. you do not understand. You all can't"Sage's eyes darkens, and he tries to control the anger that seems to be coming. "Where is she?" There is silence at first, and he wonders if the voice will give him the answer to his question. "She is closer than you think." Sage is confused at first until he turns sharply and sees her. Malisha is standing still with her back facing him, and she is unmoved. "Malisha?" he calls out her name quietly. "Sage?" her voice is soft and n

    Sage moves before he even realizes that he has. One second, Malisha is standing in front of him with her eyes sharp and filled with determination while breathing hard. The next second, she drops. "Malisha!" He catches her before she hits the ground. Her body is limp, too still and too quiet. Sage looks at her in his arms, and feels something that is dangerously close to panic. "Malisha," he calls for her again in a lower register than before. It is more controlled, but there is evident tension in it. She does not respond to him. He checks her pulse to ensure that everything is okay. Her breathing is still there although it is faint and uneven, but it is still there. Sage exhales slightly filled with relief although not fully relieved, but enough for him not to lose his shit. He calls for a guard, who comes.Iris is the first to burst in, and say, "What happened-" She stops cold when she sees Malisha in his arms. "Mal?" Mirabel and Kimora immediately follow behind her. "Oh my God,

    The moment Grayson confirms that Malisha is fine, he goes home. His family have been waiting on his arrival, so when he comes back, his parents look at him, and say, "You have a lot explaining to do." Grayson sighs then nods. "Can I at least get a shower first?" he asks them.His parents frown then nod. The moment he is done, he goes on to meet his parents. "You have not been present for days."Grayson nods. "I am aware." "What happened?" his mother asks. Grayson looks at her and says, "I believe we have to be more than ready because it seems like the savages might be attacking soon." His parents sit even more upright when they hear that. "What do you mean?" they both ask at the same time. Grayson looks at them and tells them everything that has been happening. His parents who don't get too shocked easily are in complete and utter shock."And how is she?" His mother asks. Grayson sighs. "She is as fine as she can be given the situation and the fact that she was touched." "I hav

    The moment Malisha is in her pack, she turns to look at Mirabel in anger. "How could you do that?" Mirabel shrugs in reply. "I had to be there." "Why?" Mirabel asks. "So that... that thing will take you?" When Malisha says nothing, kimora, Iris and a guard appear. "You have to understand that you did not have to be there," Mirabel says. "Well, I wanted to," Malisha replies. Mirabel rolls her eyes at Malisha. "Mal, your stubborness made that shadow get to you. I will not stand by and let your stubborness let that shit take you." Malisha freezes, and she is about to say something when Kimora says, "Now is not the time to fight." "But that is exactly what Grayson and Sage are doing." "And they will both be fine," Iris says. "If they were not going to be, they would not have to us to leave." "Mirabel is the reason we are here," Malisha says. "Well then, I am grateful to Mirabel," Beatrix says which makes every single one of them turn to look at her. "Mum," Malisah says. "You
