Avelin POV

Sunday mornings are different now. They are quieter inside my chest. It feels like something has decided to sit still.

Leander is coming today. I do not say it loud. My body already knows. There is a pull under my skin. It is like a thread being gently tugged.

Baby Shen feels it too.

He wakes up earlier than usual. His small feet patter down the hallway before I am out of bed. He climbs onto the mattress without warning. He is warm and bright and full of energy.

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   BONUS CHAPTER: LITTLE SHEN AT EIGHT

    Little Shen POV"What I Know"I am eight years old, which is old enough to know a lot of things.I know my name is Shen Voss-Mirei. My teacher asked me once which name was real and I said both, obviously. She nodded like I told her something surprising. I do not know why it was surprising.I know Aria is three, which means she still thinks worms are interesting enough to carry in her pocket. She dropped one on Papa's suit jacket last spring. Papa's face went through six different expressions before he carried her inside to change. I counted. It was six.I know my father is Leander Voss, who runs a large company. My friend Jin asked me once if my dad was the Leander Voss. I said yes, and he said wow. I told him Papa makes good pancakes on Saturdays. Jin thought about this and said that was a more useful thing to know than anything on the internet. I agreed.I know my other father is Avelin Mirei, whom I call Dada. He has warm eyes and quiet hands, and he always knows when something is

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   BONUS CHAPTER: THE LETTER AVELIN NEVER SENT

    Leander POV"Year Two"A letter found folded inside the journal, dated fourteen months after Leander's disappearance. Given to Leander by Avelin the morning after the memory returned.Shen,I do not know why I am writing this. You are not going to read it. I know that now in a way I didn't let myself know for a long time, that you are not coming back to this address, that if you are alive somewhere, you are not looking for us, and that the Shen Ross who married me on the beach is not the person who existed before I found him bleeding on the road.I know all of that. I am writing this anyway.Our son is fourteen months old. He has your eyes, I know I have thought about this before, but they keep being your eyes every time I look at him, stubbornly yours. He has started walking, or trying to. He walks the way you fixed things: with complete certainty that he is doing it correctly, right up until the moment he falls over, and then he gets up and tries again without any drama about the fa

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Bonus( Renlo x Elias) Chapter 3 — The Long Way Around

    Elias POVI asked him to dinner on a Tuesday in November, which I mention because it took me four months to get there and I want the timeline acknowledged.The four months were for practical reasons. Leander and Avelin were in the middle of the most complicated reunion in recent romantic history, and inserting my own situation into that orbit seemed both poor timing and mildly absurd. Also, Renlo is Avelin's best friend, and the structural symmetry of both of us pursuing our respective people simultaneously felt too neat. Too convenient. Like something that happens in a book rather than in life.Then again, Leander developed amnesia, fell in love with the same man twice, and named his son after himself by accident. Perhaps I should lower my standards for narrative plausibility.The certainty had arrived early, somewhere between the gala and the second occasion I found myself reconsidering an opinion because Renlo made a point I could not argue with. It arrived quietly, less like a rev

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Bonus(Renlo x Elias) Chapter 2 — The Slow Accumulation of Evidence

    Renlo POVIt took three months before I admitted to myself that I looked forward to seeing Elias Thorn.This was annoying for several reasons, primarily because Elias was an Alpha who operated with the quiet assumption that every room he entered belonged to him. It should have irritated me, and did, technically, but it had somehow stopped feeling like a problem. He was also, frustratingly, interesting. He was the kind of person who asks questions that signal actual listening rather than performed interest, and who says things that take twenty minutes to fully unpack after the conversation ends.He also made very good coffee. I mention this because it matters.We fell into a pattern without either of us naming it. When Leander visited Avelin and Baby Shen, which became every weekend, then several evenings a week, then eventually most of the time, Elias was often present in an adjacent capacity. When I visited Avelin, which was always, because that was simply what we did, we ended up in

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Bonus(Renlo x Elias) Chapter 1 — The Man Who Showed Up

    Elias POVThe first time I met Renlo Caelisi, I did not like him.This was not unusual. I do not like most people on first meeting. It saves time to withhold approval until someone earns it. Leander built an empire on the same principle, which is why we have been friends for fifteen years without either of us becoming insufferable.But Renlo Caelisi was a specific kind of irritating.He was tall, unreasonably tall for an Omega, taller than most Alphas in the room, which he seemed both aware of and deliberately unimpressed by. He had the kind of face that suggested he had never been uncertain about anything in his life, which I knew immediately was a projection. Nobody goes through life that composed without having practiced it. He wore a charcoal jacket that fit too well for someone who claimed to work in marketing at a mid-sized firm, and he looked at me across Avelin's small living room like I was a problem he had already categorized and filed under manageable.I found this offensiv

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   EPILOGUE — Five Years Later

    Avelin POVThe morning starts the way all our mornings start now.Loud.Shen is eight years old and possesses his father's eyes, alongside Leander's knack for demanding things with intense specificity. He currently wants pancakes. Specifically, he wants Leander to mix the batter because Papa makes them the right shape, which Leander maintains is a standard circle and Shen maintains is a structural failure. This particular debate has been running for six months with no resolution in sight.I lean against the kitchen door frame with my mug, watching Leander stand at the stove in last night's wrinkled cotton shirt with a smudge of flour on his collar. He is locked in a fierce geometric argument with an eight-year-old. Under my collar, the bond mark pulses, a slow, warm current against my skin.Aria sits on the edge of the counter, swinging her bare feet. She is three. She arrived the way second children do, without a formal announcement from the universe, just quietly inevitable. She has

    Leander POVI do not sleep. I lie in bed with my eyes open and stare at the ceiling. Every time I close them, I see him. I see Avelin standing in that kitchen and breathing against my mouth. He was close enough to kiss and close enough to break everything.I drag a hand down my face and exhale slow

    Avelin POVHis hand is still on my face. It is warm and steady, perhaps too steady. His thumb brushes my cheek, and my breath stops. He is so close. He is close enough that I can feel his breath against my lips and close enough that everything else disappears. The kitchen, the apartment, and the pa

They were my eyes, and they were staring back a
