Charlotte POV:I listened to the world outside my bedroom. I was curled up in my king size bed, drowning happily in the comfort of thick blankets and pillows as my gaze laid upon the perfectly painted door that stood tall, allowing me my privacy. After time of proper care to the door, it tightly grasped the hinges it was locked onto. As if showing the unyielding bond it possessed with the other inanimate object, sealed together as if meant to be. My trained eyes could see the tiny cracks spread here and there underneath the gorgeous coat of navy blue. Battle wounds from the unnecessary misused it suffered from being slammed upon by the powerful patrons that stayed in the castle.They didn't know that their usual behavior caused the slight blemish. What seemed normal to them slowly began to impaired the sturdy yet fragile door. The door stood as a sign of growth, but just like me, it shows the consequences to lack the ability to properly communicate.I strained my ears to listen. I nee

Aries POV:"What do you want to know, kitten?""Well," Charlotte looked up from her half eaten plate of dessert. The warmth from her hot pie slowly melted her chocolate ice cream into a half-thawed brown soup. Hot apple pie and chunky chocolate ice cream sprinkled with chopped pecans and chocolate syrup didn't seem like the best combination but Charlotte seemed to love it. "I k-know that your kings and that y-your........Lycans?""Good girl." Theós purred out.She flushed, "And I also know that you both a-are really, really old.""Old? We're not old. Being 228 years old is very young in our world." Charlotte giggled as Theós poked her sides. His dark eyes hardened into a playful glare as he continued his teasing. "I think an apology is in order for hurting our feelings. And if not an apology, there are other ways to gain our forgiveness. What do you think Aries?""I think you're right Theós." I agreed. My wolf purred at the idea of our mate doing whatever we wanted. Perverted thoughts

Charlotte POV:The forest has always been a mysterious entity to me. Its lush, colorful leaves contradict the darkness it possessed. Innocent creatures frolic through their home, either fearing or coexisting with predators that lurked near. The glowing rays of sunlight peeked through the dense tree's, coating whatever darkness it landed on in a heavenly glow. The calming flow of the river was drowned out by the noisy critters that lived near or far.It was a home to all.And yet, one of the most dangerous places to be in.It's weird how-"Time." The pencil in my hand halted at the word. I set my pencil down, closing my journal since I knew I wouldn't be able to finish what I was writing. I glanced up at my therapist as I scooted back into my spot on the fluffy couch. "What would you like to do with what you wrote?"My attention went to the cover of my journal, trying to decide if I wanted to keep what I wrote to myself or to share it with her. This is a trust and confidence building e

Aries POV:"..also, make sure she stays hydrated and eats. Charlotte has been throwing up everything and there have been times when she refuses to eat or drink anything. She especially needs to before she takes her pain medicine. You're going to have to break the pill in half since Charlotte isn't capable of swallowing a whole pill. Also-" Theós rambled out instructions as we gathered some last minutes supplies for Charlotte. I gave the contents of her mini fridge one last sweep before closing it once I was satisfied with what I saw."Theós," Raven interrupted, trying horribly to conceal her frustrated sigh. "I know what to do. It's not like I've never had a period before."Pausing in his pillow fluffing, Theós turned to face Raven with a glare. "I don't see your insides attacking you just because you're alive. Yours never been like this. You're not in pain, every waking second. You get to walk around all fine and fucking dandy while my mate suffers from something that doesn't even ma

Aries POV: "Blue or purple?"I carefully studied the choices that were placed before me.On the right was a large teddy bear with fur that was colored in a light shade of pastel blue. A large pink bow was wrapped tightly around its neck. The shade matches the bear's nose, inner ears, and paws. Its eyes were a glossy black that shined brightly as the light bounced off them.On the left was a smaller sized teddy bear. The fur was a mix-matched patterned of lavender and dark purple. A bow also decorated this bear neck, shaded in a cool gray instead of a vibrant pink.I couldn't figure out which one Charlotte would like more. By the desperate look that was quickly etching on Theós face, I could tell he couldn't figure it out either. I pondered for a few more moments, eyes flickering between the two gradually. Decision made, I let my eyes finally settle on Theós. "Both." I firmly decided.His eyes widened, "Oh, she would love that.""Do you think she would like a new blanket? I saw this b
