Havermouth, Present Time Aislen looked in through the car window. The child was crouched behind the front passenger seat in the foot-space of the back seat, facing towards them, and the flickering light revealed wide, frightened eyes within a pale face smeared with blood, and a tangle of hair, the ends still tied with faded ribbon into braids. She was filthy, coated in mud and wet through. “F-k,” Aislen groaned. “What do we do?” “Kill it,” Rhett suggested. “She’s not an it. She’s a kid,” Cameron protested. “She ate Shaun Bascall,” Rhett pointed out. “Alive.” They had all been avoiding looking at the man in the front passenger seat. The car had slammed into the pole on that side, crumpling in and pinning Shaun into the seat. The girl in the backseat had taken advantage of his inability to defend himself to devour him, stripping the skin from his face and tearing into his stomach. The metallic stink of blood was heavy on the air. “There is also Leighton Richard to consider,” Tal

Havermouth, Five Years BeforeHeath’s heart ached as he stroked his fingers through Aislen’s hair. Her eyes were closed but he knew that she was awake as the tears continued to collect in her eyelashes before tracking down her cheeks. He wasn’t far off crying himself, he acknowledged. The anger and fear had faded, leaving behind a bitter taste in his mouth, and the fervent wish that she would stop crying.Rhett’s hand stroked up and down her ribs and he pressed his lips to the back of her shoulder, and Cameron had his arm slung over Rhett, resting on her hip.Heath cupped her cheek and leaned over to kiss her lips, tasting the salt that lingered on them before taking his kisses along her jaw to her ear. “It’s alright, Aislen,” he whispered. “Rhett is right. We forgive you. Kiss me now and let me… make you feel better.”He eased her onto her back and kissed his way down her body, over the soft velvet of her skin, running his tongue over the tips of her breasts until the nipples tighten

Havermouth, Five Years Before Charlotte was waiting at the grassy knoll at recess. Heath could tell from the expression on her face that she already knew what his response would be, but that she was helplessly drawn into having the confrontation. It wasn’t the first time that one of the human girls had needed to be told. Many just knew, and in knowing, did everything possible to avoid that final humiliation of rejection, but there had been three or four that had stubbornly refused to believe that they had been used until they were told. Rhett had passed him in the hallway before second lesson and had told him that he had seen Aislen crying as Ms Grace took her into her office, and so that lesson had been spent with an unsettling dread, trying to figure out what had happened that Ms Grace had pulled Aislen out of class. Combined with the stress of knowing that the news that Aislen was their mate was spreading through his peers by way of Havermouth gossip, Heath didn’t have any patienc

Havermouth, Present Time“My place has become inaccessible due to the flood, unfortunately,” Leighton told Cameron. “So, I am having to improvise. If you will head towards the warehouse district just beyond the MegaStore, I would appreciate it, Cameron.”“Suuuure,” Cameron’s eyes met Aislen’s in the rear-view mirror before he focused on the road.“I am pleased that you have heeded my advice,” Leighton Richard said to Aislen and Talen. “And looked after Nora for me rather than the alternative.”“We found her snacking on Shaun Bascall,” Rhett twisted in the seat in order to look at Leighton. “He didn’t survive the experience.”“Ah,” Leighton grimaced. “That is unfortunate.”“You’re going to tell us what the f-k is going on,” Aislen said to him firmly.Leighton lifted an eyebrow. “Am I?”“Yes,” Aislen nodded slowly. “Because you need us to be f-king quiet about this if you plan on continuing to live in Havermouth, and I think you can’t leave here, so you don’t have much choice.”“I could

Havermouth, Present Time“Kinky f-king boys,” she laughed as Rhett lifted her onto the bed and she held onto the suspension rails as she stepped across the mattress, placing a foot on either side of Heath’s head and looking down at him, with her hair falling down around her and without a stitch of clothing on. “Do you like the view?” She teased him.His smirk smouldered as his hands stroked up her calves. “You know that I do, but I find that I’m getting short-sighted in my old age, and you might need to bring that beauty closer for me to appreciate it fully.”Talen’s eyes opened and lifted to watch, his lips curling with an approving smile.Aislen used the headboard to steady her as she knelt, sitting on his chest. “Close enough?” She asked him as he caressed over the generous swells of her thighs to her hips. She gasped as he tugged her forward and dragged his tongue over her c-nt. “Oh, god,” she moaned gripping onto the headboard as he pulled her tightly to his face seeming to decid
