Avelin POV

I first noticed it on a Tuesday morning, almost by accident, when I wasn’t trying to feel anything at all. That’s how I tend to notice most things about Shen, by observing him sideways, without meaning to, when I wasn’t bracing myself for emotion. Old Chen had been complaining about Mei Lin for three weeks. The boat was nearly forty years old, and its stubbornness was legendary. It had been repaired too many times by too many hands, each fix adding to its complexity. It took patience,

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 22 — Claiming His Omega

    Avelin POVThe morning after his confession should have felt different. It did, just not in the way I expected. Everything looked the same: tables, worn wooden floors, the view of the ocean stretching wide and indifferent beyond the windows. But nothing felt the same. I could still feel his hands; that was the problem. Not just the memory of them, but the weight, warmth, and certainty. Like my body had memorized something, my mind was still trying to understand. I kept moving because standing still only made it worse. “Table three needs clearing,” Father said from the kitchen doorway. His voice was calm, too calm. I nodded, didn’t argue, didn’t look at him longer than necessary. But I felt it, his eyes on me, watching, measuring. Not angry, not yet, but thinking. That was worse. I picked up the empty bowls from table three, stacking them carefully, focusing on small, simple, safe things, anything that didn’t involve him. I knew where Shen was without looking, in the kitchen, left

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 21 — Pulled Into His Arms

    Shen POVI tried to stay away from him. God, I tried. All day, I kept my distance. Not far enough to lose sight of him, never that, but far enough that I didn’t have to feel the pull every time he moved, every time he breathed, every time he said my name like it meant something more than just sound. It didn’t work. Nothing about this worked. Because every time he stepped out of my line of sight, something in me tightened, sharp and restless, that refused to settle until I found him again. And when I did, nothing calmed. It only got worse. I heard him before I saw him. On the back porch, the soft shift of wood under careful footsteps, the ocean beyond, restless, endless, louder now that the storm had passed but not quite finished with the sky. Rain still fell, not heavy, not violent, just steady, like something that had decided to stay. I stood in the hallway longer than I should have, hand braced against the wall, breathing slower than I felt, faster than I wanted. I could leave.

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 20 — The Pull You Can’t Fight

    Aveliin POVMorning should have felt lighter after the storm, but it didn’t. The sky had cleared, yet the air still carried the weight of what had just passed. Dampness clung to everything: the porch, the railings, the stones in the yard, residual evidence of the rain that refused to leave. Inside me, something remained unsettled, not broken but shifting beneath the surface, like the calm before a new storm.I hadn’t slept well. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him, standing in the rain, looking up at me through the storm with those steady, unyielding eyes, the ones that seemed to see everything I tried to hide. The words echoed in my mind: *I’ve got you. Always.* They lingered like an echo, too much and too deep, and no matter how I pressed my palm to my chest, I couldn’t quiet the feeling.When I stepped outside, Shen was already there. Of course he was. He stood near the edge of the courtyard, where the ground sloped toward the path leading to the docks, but he was not moving. No

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 19 — Enrie Mirei’s Warning

    Enrie POVMorning arrived too quietly, as if the storm that had just passed had left the world in a fragile stillness. After a storm like that, the air should have felt different, cleaner, lighter, somehow renewed. Instead, it hung heavy and damp over the village, pressing down like an unspoken warning. The sky stretched gray and uncertain, reluctant to lift its weight.I was already awake before dawn, my habitual instinct. That restless part of me that never truly learned to sit still, no matter how many years I tried to quiet it. I stood by the window, watching the last remnants of rain cling to the glass, tracing slow, uncertain paths downward. Outside, the courtyard was soaked, puddles gathering in the uneven stones, reflecting a sky that seemed just as hesitant as I felt.And beyond the porch, just at the edge of my sight, Shen.He hadn’t slept much. I could see it in the way he moved, tense but not at rest. Alert, as if waiting for something to arrive. Not the way a man greets t

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 18 — The Touch

    Avelin POVThe storm arrived faster than I had anticipated. One moment, the sky was heavy with gray clouds, and the next, darkness swallowed the horizon completely. Heavy clouds rolled in from the ocean, blotting out the sunlight and casting an ominous shadow over everything. The wind suddenly sharpened, rattling windows and whipping loose objects across the yard with relentless force. It was as if nature itself was unleashing its fury, and I knew we had to act quickly.“Secure everything!” my father’s voice cut through the chaos, loud and commanding.Without hesitation, I moved. Shen was already on the move too, his voice calling softly, “Shen!”“I’m here,” he responded, feeling the familiar rush of adrenaline as he grabbed a board to brace the window. His presence was a steady reassurance, even as the storm’s power grew stronger. The air crackled with tension, charged with something primal, something about to break free.We worked in tandem, boarding windows, securing doors, and tyi

  • The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance)   Chapter 17 — The Choice to Stay

    Shen POVI found him exactly where I knew I would, at the edge of the shore, where the land met the restless sea. The tide had risen slightly since morning, creeping closer to the jagged rocks, waves folding into each other in a slow, steady rhythm. The sky above was pale, washed with a dull light that hinted at a storm, or perhaps something worse lurking beneath the clouds. The air was thick with anticipation, as if the world itself was holding its breath.Avelin stood with his back to me, near the water but not quite touching it. The wind played with his hair, pushing it away from his face. His shoulders were tense, his hands resting at his sides, still. Too still. It felt wrong, like the calm before something violent. I paused a few steps behind him, unsure of what to say or do. All I knew was that I had to face him, again, to say what I hadn’t wanted to admit until now.“You followed me,” I finally said, my voice breaking the silence.He turned slowly, not surprised, just tired.
