ASHBY

•Continuation of what happened in the past•

We walk together the rest of the way, her chatter filling the quiet spaces I can’t bring myself to. The scent of flowers grows stronger as we near the gazebo, the kind that usually calms me. But now it just smells like something trying too hard to hide the rot beneath.

As soon as we step over the threshold, Maddox looks up from where he’s sitting. Ronan and Caius glance too, but Maddox is the one who s

    CAIUS“I’m guessing this is where we part ways, right?”The old man gives nothing more than a slow nod as he rubs his long beard between two fingers, thoughtful and absent while he leans on his stick. “Okay. See you tomorrow at noon,” I say.He answers with a soft hum and turns before conjuring another portal. Light folds inward, curling around him into a portal that's a bit smaller than the last. And then, he steps into it like someone easing into a warm bath. The portal snaps shut behind him, leaving the air strangely hollow like someone drained all the noise out of the world.And just like that, we’re on our own.A massive field behind us and a wide silent lake before us.I've never seen illusory magic being used at large scale over a long period of time until this.A normal person would have thought this is just a strange part of the forest. Afterall, what about a silent f

    RONANI didn’t get a wink of sleep last night.I couldn't even when I tried. Even when I know I really need to.How could I?How could I sleep when I can still smell our release on me no matter how much I scrub and scrub the shit out of my skin.And when I stared at the ceiling, counting the panels out of boredom, it watched me all night as if it was judging me too.At 5am, I forced myself because I know it's important for the trip. But every time I closed my eyes, I can feel the ridges of his cock against mine.The weight of him.The heat.The way I groaned.And that soul crushing realization that I let someone tie me up and make me come.A man.My step brother.No.No, no, no.My fingers dig into my hair as I sit on the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, head bowed. I feel sick. Literally sick. My stomach keeps flipp

    RONANMy breath catches, eyes widening.Not because he’s hurting me.Because he knows exactly what he’s doing. Because he's pressing against it so hard it hurts. And because I… I actually like the pain.Pathetic right?He leans forward, his face inches away from mine, eyes flicking from one eye to another, dagger still on my neck. “There it is,” he murmurs, almost pleased. “That little reaction you pretend you don’t have. Turns out even though you are a terrible liar, your body is not one.”My hands fist at the sheets. “Move,” I grit out.He doesn’t.Instead, he leans in, sniffing my neck before moving up. He adjusts, my waist caged between his thighs.My eyes dart to his crotch just to see his hardened crotch had formed a prominent bulge, tenting his jeans. My breath turns shaky and I force out my next words even though I don't want to.

    RONANMy suitcase sits open on the bed, half full, half chaos. Shirts, formal coats, the usual daggers tucked under them—because who knows what could go wrong at the Moon Realm.Tomorrow, Caius and I are supposed to leave as emissaries to deliver the invitation to the Supreme Alpha himself with the help of the first council elder portal magic.A diplomatic errand, they called it.I call it a headache waiting to happen.My eyes dart to the wall clock as I fold a clean shirt when a knock lands on the door. My gaze snaps to it. “Who’s there?”Silence.I sigh. Just great. It's definitely one of the new maids too terrified to talk back. This isn't the first time something like this will happen. I just wish they could answer when I ask them such simple questions.Well, can't really blame them though. My voice has that please don't make me repeat my self energy, or

    KAIASoft.That’s the first thing I notice — how ridiculously soft the thing under me feels. Like sleeping on clouds dipped in marshmallows soft.Oh.Wait.Did I die?Because no mattress has ever felt this soft beneath me. Which means… holy crap, I did it.I made it to heaven.I actually made it in.I blink my eyes open, everything blindingly white at first — curtains, sheets, light filtering in like a halo — and yeah, this is definitely heaven. I remembered telling God my place in heaven must be a mansion every time I slip a five dollar bill into the blind man’s bag.Heaven mansion with marshmallow clouds. Definitely where good people go after getting absolutely… demolished in front of an audience.I smile weakly to myself. “Guess being nice pays off after all.”“Uncle Ronnie! Uncle Maddie! She’s waking up!

    ASHBYI don't want to go back to that house. I need to stay by Kaia's side.But these days, that's the only place where the new nightmares seem to stop.So, I drag my feet towards the entrance of the huge mansion anyways, all fight in me long dead after I'd forfeited the last one.Stepping inside past the two guards at the front of the door, I can already hear the sound of laughter echoing from inside.They are at it again.And when I step inside, Louise, Lillian, and their mother, Jacqueline, are lounging on the long sofa in the center of the living room. My eyes land on Jacqueline first with her raven black hair, teacup balanced delicately on her hand, two maids standing behind her like props on display.When their eyes land on me, their laughter dies down.And I'm glad it did.Jacqueline gently sets her teacup down and stands, her red tinted lips stretching into a s
