last update publish date: 2024-05-23 00:00:47

Despite what I said about needing to avoid the kitchen, that’s actually my first stop when leaving the office. Bellamy got me a little well… hot. I desperately need a glass of water. Or one of those cold showers that Bellamy is so ‘fond’ of taking lately. Bellamy trails behind me, apparently not willing to leave my side just yet. I freeze momentarily when I walk in and find Megan sitting in the same bar stool at the bench that I vacated earlier. I force myself to keep moving. Darrien is on th

  • Strings of Fate   Alex (BONUS!)

    "*Hello! Apparently some people weren’t happy that Alex didn’t get his happily ever after included in the story. I actually did plan a love interest for him, but it never fit well into the story. So, I figured I might as well round the story out to 300 chapters and add one more chapter for you all so that you know I didn't leave him as the odd man out! It's kind of long but I didn't write enough for multiple chapters and it's just their introduction but this is all you're getting! -Kit*I hover awkwardly outside of the store that Megan texted us all about. I have no idea how I ended up in this situation. When Alpha Ryann and Alpha Kane got engaged it was a surprise to literally no one, especially not us on the security team. Alpha Kane is fiercely protective of his bride so after everything that happened with their adoptive daughter Kiara, we all got to know Alpha Ryann fairly well. I’ve been added to several rather terrifying group chats and I get dragged along to an endless stream o

  • Strings of Fate   The Final Chapter- Ryann

    "I am so insanely excited and anxious that I might actually pass out. I probably look a little pale because Bellamy puts down the box he was carrying and pulls me into a reassuring hug.“Calm down, everything will be fine.” He promises. I rest my head against his chest and take a few deep breaths. “I know, I’m just worried. It was super nice of you to arrange for Maggie to get a place in the Shifter compound, and I’m beyond thrilled that Logan’s mum has decided he’s better off living with her full time. I’m so excited to live near Maggie again and it’ll be lovely for Kiara to have her friend nearby. But… what if the others don’t approve? I mean, it’s one thing for me to live in the compound, we are engaged after all. But I’m bringing in more non-Shifters. What if people get angry?” I ask anxiously. I know I already decided to do this, and Bellamy was actually the one who suggested it when I was stressing that Maggie really shouldn’t be living alone and that she wanted to take in Loga

  • Strings of Fate   Cam 55- Cock tales and conclusions

    "I wake early the next morning, not used to sleeping next to someone, but I refuse to wake up completely or get out of bed. It’s my day off and I’m in no rush to face the day. Harry stirs not long after I do, but he is apparently on a similar lazy wavelength as me because he wraps his arms around me and clings to me like I’m a teddy bear, burying his face in my hair and sighing happily. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so relaxed. Even his magic is relaxed, sending off sleepy vibes. Actually, that might explain my sudden desire to never leave this bed. That or the very naked Incubus. Okay, so probably the second thing. Still, since I want to make it clear to Harry that his magic definitely affects me, I take the chance to remind him. “Your magic is making me lazy.” I grumble affectionately. Harry chuckles and hugs me even tighter. “Sorry, I’m just comfortable. Did you need to get up?” He offers reluctantly. “Nah, I’m good. I was just letting you know.” I answer drowsily and it does

  • Strings of Fate   Cam 54- Interest and intention

    "I try to be patient, I really do. But I’ve been waiting all week to see Harry and now he’s just standing there and not saying anything. He looks completely miserable. If he’s so unhappy why doesn’t he do something about it? He looks like he has something that he wants to say so why isn’t he talking? He’s never been one to hold his words back before, and I just made a total fool of myself pouring my heart out to him. Is it really so hard for him to just talk to me? I lose my patience. “Stop holding back and just ask me your question. Whatever it is you want from me, whatever you want to know, just ASK!” My words are demanding but my tone makes it sound more like I’m begging. I can’t quite bring myself to care. “You really want to know what I want…” Harry starts. His voice is agitated and he runs a hand through his hair, shoving his hood back as he does. He takes a step towards me. I’m standing on the top of the little stairs leading up to my home and he’s at the bottom but he’s so m

  • Strings of Fate   Cam 53- Footsteps and fret

    "It takes me three nights to be sure. But I am now completely convinced. Every night when I’m walking home from work, Harry is secretly following me, hiding in shadows and behind bushes and buildings whenever I turn around. At first I was concerned, I thought I had somehow picked up another stalker. I was constantly hearing footsteps behind me that paused whenever I did. Occasionally I could catch the sound of rustling bushes or someone else breathing. I was a little afraid that Simon had somehow been released. I even give the police a call during the day to check that he hasn’t been released and that I don’t need to worry about him. They assure me that he won’t be getting out anytime soon and a super sweet lady promises to give me a call if that should change at any point. I start paying more and more attention to every little detail on my way home trying to figure out what is going on. I feel a little silly about it, what are the actual chances of me picking up a second stalker in o

  • Strings of Fate   Cam 52- Awkward and avoidant

    "I’ve finished work for the night but instead of making my way home I’m sitting on a barstool in my empty, closed up bar just staring at my phone. I need to call Harry. All I have to do is pick up my phone and call him. And I’m going to do it. I really am, any second now. I don’t even know what I’m going to say to him exactly. I know the general idea of what I need to tell him, but first I need to get him to agree to listen to me and that’s the part that’s got me stumped. I’m hoping he’s just calmed down a little and isn’t as angry with me anymore. I down the shot of vodka I poured myself before I claimed my perch and hit the call button. I hold the phone up to my ear and listen to the phone ring, then ring again… and again. Then the call declines. Well shit. I didn’t think he would be keen to talk to me, but I can’t do anything if he doesn’t even answer the phone! Maybe it was an accident and he meant to pick it up? I call again and the call is declined immediately this time. Yeah I

    The more I calm down, the more awkward this entire situation seems.“Alright, I should make a few calls, let people know what's happened and where I am. Why don't you go change?” he suggests. I glance down at myself and realise that my clothes are all dirty from where I sat on the ground. I nod and m

    I go and change into my fluffy unicorn pyjamas. I plug my phone onto charge and climb into the very corner of my bed where I am most comfortable. I watch as my red thread fades from my view. Bellamy must have driven far enough away that I can't see it anymore. Considering that we are fated to be tog

    Bellamy's mood seems to have improved. Every now and then I glance up at him and every time he smiles at me. It's actually almost scary. We finish eating then Bellamy pays for the food and leave to walk to his car which he claims is only a few streets away. His mood is still bright, in fact he might
