VANESSA DAVIS

★。/|\。★

I drove into town as slowly as I could, hands tight around the wheel. The muddy road that led from Colton’s farm was half-washed away in places, tire-deep and slick. My windshield wipers squeaked against dried raindrops as they smeared instead of cleared.

Every bump sent my heart racing. Not from the fear of crashing—but from the storm inside me.

By the time I reached town, my chest was aching. Not physically. Just… heavy. I found a place to park behind the old bakery that never opened on Tuesdays and shut the engine off. My fingers stayed wrapped around the wheel.

I didn’t move.

I couldn’t.

My breath caught in my throat before I even realized what was happening. The quiet—the sheer quiet of being away from the house, from the farm, from him—slammed into me like a wave. My vision blurred, and the windows around me felt like they were shrinking.

The tears came without warning.

I clutched at my chest, gasping, trying to make the feeling go away—but I couldn

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 Sheriff bastillo was unhappy to see vanessa even though he’d invited us both to show up about the noise complaint. “Okay, tate tells me you came looking for me while i was away. You wanna explain why I’ve gotten alot of complaints since i took my trip?”I didn’t say anything because i was fighting the urge to smack him across the face for all the bullshit he allowed to happen to this once prospering town. Fucking douchebag. So i settled in my chair and allow vanessa to do it. “Well since you asked so nicely. Why don’t i give you my list?” vanessa got up, adjusting her skirt and stepping closer to the door. She opened it and called tate. Forcing him to come into the office. “Take a seat asshole.”He frowned, and looked to bastillo who looked at me. I didn’t make any expression with my face. Forcing him to just nod. Tate took the seat next to me. “Alright.” vanessa pulled out her phone and began listing. She started with the sheriff’s ignorance. “Firstly, you

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 I can’t believe someone actually broke into my house.In the middle of the fucking night. While I was in bed. With her. With the most important person in my life. It still pisses me off thinking about it.I hadn’t bothered with the mutt after I cuffed him—left him on the floor until the sun came up and his bones stopped cracking from the shift. Pain makes people talk. It also makes them weak. So I let him marinate in it.Now, with the morning light pouring through the thin windows of my old man’s place, I drag his nude, unconscious body into the basement by the cuffs digging into his wrists. I don’t care that they’re bruising. He earned every mark.The cell is cold. Damp. Concrete walls with reinforced bars. I toss him inside like garbage and close the door behind me with a loud clang. The twins are asleep in the far cell, breathing quietly, curled like foxes against the wall. At least they’re not a problem right now.He groans.Good.I crouch near the bars, w

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The most romantic way to get railed.... i know, I’m a poet. Worship me. But listen to my poetry first. The most romantic way to get railed is by easing into it and saying something sweet, like perhaps;Ease me in, don’t rush the ride, Whisper dumb things like “you’re my guide.” Say you love my laugh, my bite, Then pin me down and dim the light. Tell me I’m art, your favorite sin, Brush my skin like you're about to begin— But not too fast, no race to win, Just slow destruction, soaked in sin.Call me trouble with reverence, grace, Then wreck my soul and realign my face. Soft hands, rough grip, you know the game, Say my name like it’s half a flame. Bring flowers, then ruin me sweet, Turn the bed into your drumbeat. Yes, romance me, but with intent— Make love like your spine is bent./I know, I’m brilliant. I’m also not entirely concious at the moment. Colton had taken his slow sweet time with me at the lake. He swam us to the shallow end, and put me on my

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★There are a lot of ways to end a date.Some people go for a goodnight kiss on the porch. Some say “we should do this again” and ghost the next day. Some crawl into bed together and pretend the world doesn’t exist outside their locked door.Me? I left the house in wet hair and champagne-soaked skin to go jump in a lake at midnight.Not a metaphor. The literal lake. I didn’t even bring a towel.Was it smart? No. Sensible? Absolutely not. But life was coming to a head for us—and I wanted to get head. Sue me.Colton didn’t even blink when I said I wanted to go. He grabbed the bottle, made sure I didn’t trip down the porch stairs, and walked us both like he knew exactly what I needed. Turns out, what I needed was a mouthful of lake water after he cannonballed in and splashed half the shoreline onto me.I cursed at him. He laughed. I tackled him.Then we kissed, and that shut both of us up.The water was cold, a kind of cold that made you forget everything—your

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★We rode the horse all the way to our next destination after leaving the diner, the sky still dipped in twilight shades of purple and gold, dust kicking up behind us as we passed a few shuttered storefronts and the odd resident walking their dog or heading home. It was peaceful, the kind of calm that settled into your bones if you let it.Colton reined the horse in front of the mechanic’s shop—a squat, sun-bleached building with a rusted sign that just said Steve’s Auto. The kind of place that didn’t need Yelp reviews to survive, just old men with busted pickups and nowhere else to go. I thought it was thriving earlier, Colton had brought me here, but things must have changed.Steve himself stepped out as we pulled up, wiping his hands on a rag that had long given up the fight to stay clean. “Thought I heard hooves,” he said, giving a nod to Colton. “She yours?”“The horse or the woman?” Colton asked with a smirk.Steve snorted. “Whichever’s gonna sass me

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I don’t know what I expected when Colton said we were going somewhere not on the map, but it sure as hell wasn’t a water tower. Not one with a view that made the whole damn world feel like it was holding its breath.The town looked like a miniature version of itself from up here—soft, sun-drenched, unreal. Like someone had pressed pause and we were sitting above time itself. I leaned back against the blanket he laid out, stretched my legs out, and let the warmth of the sun and his body beside mine lull me into a kind of weightless joy.God, when was the last time I felt like this?Carefree. Safe. Wanted.Colton was lying next to me, one arm propped under his head, the other draped across his stomach. His shirt had ridden up a little, exposing a sliver of sun-kissed skin, and I had to force myself not to stare too long. Or touch. Or climb on top of him right then and there.Which was ridiculous, because we were literally on top of a damn water tower.“I ca

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 After a good breakfast and wrestling a cup of caffeine from Vanessa, I grabbed the keys to one of my Jeeps, tossing them once in the air and catching them with a grin.“C’mon,” I said to Vanessa, watching her follow with that curious tilt of her head I’d grown addicted to. “Thought we’d take a little ride into town.”“I didn’t even know you had a Jeep,” she said as we walked down the path to where the whole family keeps their cars.“I’ve got a few things tucked away,” I said with a shrug. “Come on, I’ll show you.”We rounded the back of a big building, where a few of our vehicles were kept under tarps or shade roofs. Trucks, bikes, the old Jeep I’d learned to drive in for the first time. A bunch of other really clean and expensive-looking cars. I gestured at the line-up. “Told you.”She gave me a little side-eye. “Are you secretly a car fanatic?”I laughed. “Yeah, but that’s not the only reason we have alot of cars. I just grew up in a family where fixing thing

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I woke up warm.Not just physically—though that was part of it, tucked into the soft weight of Colton’s arms, his chest rising and falling behind me like the tide—but something else, too. Safe. Anchored.For a second, I didn’t move. I just blinked slowly at the soft light filtering through the curtains, breathing in the scent of soap, pine, and something distinctly his. Then I tilted my head back slightly and looked up.He was still asleep.His face was peaceful in a way I rarely got to see. No furrowed brow. No guarded jaw. Just Colton, unburdened. His mouth twitched a little, like he was dreaming about something mildly annoying or mildly funny—it was hard to tell with him.I laughed under my breath. Quiet and breathy.What a strange life.I used to wake up to sirens and honking cabs. Now I was waking up in a quiet room on a ranch, wrapped up in a man whose idea of rest was plowing half a field before breakfast.And yet… this didn’t feel strange at all.

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 We couldn’t keep them here, that was a thought i couldn’t shake from the moment i showed up here. I stood in the barn, arms crossed, watching the twins—Fabian and Derico, or whatever they called themselves—slumped against the wooden post, weak and sullen but still dangerous. Ross had tied them good, and Abel was pacing like he wanted an excuse to break something. I think my father wants to hit someone. I’d let him, but I can’t risk him accidentally killing them. We need them.Vanessa’s concoction was still doing its work. She hadn’t lied—whatever she’d made, it drained the strength right out of their bones and soul as well. Enough of it could ruin a shifter’s ability to ever turn again. I’d seen that look in their eyes now. They understood what was at stake. She did say it was like wolfsbane. I should send a general message to everyone in the pack to wash the concoction off their skin. “We should move them,” I said finally, turning to face my father. “Take ’
