The Winthrope’s

I feel as if I had just closed my eyes for a second and suddenly light is filtering through my curtains it’s morning! Sighing, I turn around in bed and pull a pillow over my head, trying to block out the light, but it doesn’t work. It’s too bright, and I’m already wide awake.“So much for relaxing Sundays,” I mutter as I drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower. Once done, I dress in snug jeans and a flowery designer blouse, adding a wide-brimmed straw hat to finish the look. Following the sound of voices, I head downstairs to find Brandon and Noah already dressed and having cereal. Shawn is working on his computer, while Desmond is on a call in the living room.“Good morning,” I whisper brightly as Noah gets up to hug me.“Morning, Mummy.”“Hey, baby. How did you sleep?” Shawn lifts his head from his screen, smiling as he adjusts his glasses.“Yes, I slept well.”As I slip into a chair, Brandon grumbles, “Are we really going for the BBQ?”“Yes,” I say, pourin

Pack Business

As soon as we drive into wisteria. Brandon doesn’t delay ,He heads straight for my office with Dawson and Andrew, leaving the door slightly ajar. I know this is serious pack business, so I do not even attempt to follow. Rather, we settle in the living room.“Noah, do you want something to eat?” I ask him as he settles on the rug to watch cartoons.“No, Mummy, I am full, thank you.”Shawn turns to me, leaning back on the sofa. “Do you think he can get her locked up again?”I sigh, folding my legs underneath me. I shake my head. “No, I don’t think so.”Desmond adds, leaning toward the center table to drop his phone, “She wasn’t lying, you know. Bringing justice against the elite is always difficult, especially at packs due to the hierarchy.” I choose not to say anything for a moment as I stare at the TV without seeing what’s even playing. “So she attempts to kill me so many times, but because I am human she gets house arrest? And I am their so-called Luna? Pfft. Luna my ass.”Bran

Catching the shark

My alarm pulls me out of sleep in the morning. I get out of bed and have a shower, then get dressed in a comfy two-piece loungewear. I check my reflection in the mirror, packing my hair into a messy bun before heading to Noah’s room. “Wakey wakey, sleepyhead,” I nudge him. I drag him into the bathroom before heading down the stairs to check on Dawn and make sure breakfast and Noah’s lunch box are set. A step into the kitchen to switch on the kettle, I find Dawn cutting cold-cut sandwiches on the counter. “Good morning, Ma’am,” she curtsies and carries on with her work. “Morning, Dawn. Make sure you pack an apple in his lunch box as well.” “Okay, Ma’am,” she moves to carry an apple from the fruit basket as I pour my coffee into a mug and head to the dining room. Sliding into my chair, I open my phone to scroll through social media as Amanda and Noah walk in together, laughing at a shared joke. “Morning, boss,” she greets me as she slips into a chair. “Mummy, good morning,” Noa

Pocket of Peace

I tuck Noah into his bed and settle beside him.He yawns, turning to face me.“Mummy, when can I join you for movie night?” he asks, his eyes full of hope.“Friday or Saturday, sweetheart,” I say, brushing his dark curls away from his forehead.He nods. “Okay, Mummy. Goodnight.”“Goodnight, honey.” I lean in to kiss his forehead, then stay beside him for a while, watching a bit of TV with the volume low until I’m sure he’s asleep. Then I slip quietly out of his room, leaving the door slightly ajar.I walk toward Amanda’s room and knock softly.“Please come in, boss,” she calls out.I smirk -better to knock before I walk in on things I’m not supposed to see, I think to myself, laughing quietly. Inside, they’re snuggled in each other’s arms watching a movie. Amanda tries to sit up, but I wave her down.“No, stay. I’m going downstairs. Please keep an ear out for Noah,” I tell them as I turn to leave.“Will do, boss,” Gabe answers. Amanda starts giggling he’s probably tickling her.

Manhattan Ball

I wake up suddenly remembering today is the Ball day and I need to be ready on time . Slipping out of bed I do some yoga and meditation before heading yo check on Noah . I find him fast asleep and I shut the door quietly heading down the stairs . As soon as I settle in for a cup pf coffee I hear the bell ring . Dawn heads out to get the door and return with a Barrage of stylists . I direct them to set up at Brandon’s house as the men all start looking for one thing or another, Dawn moving around with drinks and snacks for everyone, and Noah wide awake now darting from one room to the next. For a moment, I stand by the door, just taking in the madness before joining all the fun . Noah walks toward me, giggling as he pulls me inside.“Mummy, who will you dance with first?” he asks eyes full of excitement and mischief.I smile, pretending to be deep in thought as we head into the living room.“I don’t know. Who do you think is the best dancer?” I ask, and we both giggle again .“Uncle

Manhattan Nights

The drive to Manhattan City seems to end in a blink, even though it was a few hours long. The city lights flash by the window as we drive through downtown. Brandon leans back, stretching one hand behind my seat, while Desmond and Shawn seem to be discussing something in low tones.I look out the window, staring at the blurring buildings, lost in the moment. I may have missed living in Manhattan just a little bit. The limo slows down as we arrive at Grosvernor Street. The streets are packed with people, bright lights, and cameras. Reporters line the sidewalks it’s a bloody circus. I sigh as Brandon reaches for my hand, giving it a squeeze.“Exhale. It’s just paparazzi. They can’t hurt you,” he murmurs. “Besides, you have the big bad wolf with you.”I laugh softly. “Oh, I know. I’m covered.” I squeeze his hand back.Brandon’s phone rings, and he checks the screen it’s Dawson. He puts it on speaker.“The coast is clear, Alpha. We’re standing guard by the entrance.”Brandon nods. “Okay, w

Dance floor

We had barely located our seats and settled in when the ushers start coming in with the starters and drinks. I move to grab a glass when a loud laugh echoes from across the dance floor. I raise my head and lock eyes with none other than Marjorie Winthrop and Geena catching up like old buddies, both of them dressed in sexy red numbers that leave little to the imagination as if they had planned it. My stomach twists as I suddenly seem to have lost my appetite. Brandon follows my eyes, his jaw tightening.“Don’t mind them, please, my Queen,” he mutters low enough for me alone to hear him, as he squeezes my hand.“I’ll try to,” I reply, even though my fingers tighten around his briefly before letting go and grabbing my glass of champagne.The music changes into an upbeat number as couples start to leave their tables and head for the dance floor. Brandon stands up and gives me his hand.“Would you like to dance?”I hesitate for a moment before finally placing my hand in his.“Sure,

Crisis

I feel a slight headache coming along, so I excuse myself to go to the ladies’ room for a bit of peace and quiet. The loud noise and music fade away instantly once I step into the marbled restroom.That’s much better, I think to myself, heading towards the lounge chair and sitting down for a few minutes. After a few moments of lovely quiet solitude, the headache fades away. I get up and walk towards the lighted vanity mirror to wash my hands, then touch up my powder and lipstick.Just as I am about to leave, the door swings open and Marjorie and Geena walk in hand in hand to make my night turn into a nightmare. I sigh, fear clogging my throat, but I push it down and adjust my crown, and straighten my shoulders, turning to face them head-on in the mirror. They can’t do anything in the open like this the men, especially Brandon, will crucify them.“And what do we have here?” Marjorie sneers as her reflection catches mine in the mirror.“Hello, our husband-snatcher Luna.”Geena folds her

Sweet Moments

By the time we make our way back to my table, we find the men, including Zaina’s husband -already deep in conversation. Extra seats seem to have been added beside Brandon for them.I smile as we approach. “Mr. Governor himself. I remain loyal, Sir,” I tease, giving him a mock salute.He laughs, standing to give me a quick hug.“Luna Aaliyah, it’s lovely to see you again looking as regal as ever. I was just telling the men I haven’t seen them this happy in a very long time.”I blush, looking down as Desmond chuckles.“That’s because we hadn’t met our heart then.”I raise my eyes to his, shaken by his comment. He smiles at me as if to say I mean every word.Shawn smirks. “You took the words right out of my mouth.”“I concur,” Brandon adds, staring at me for a moment. My cheeks feel hot; I know it’s warming up.“Aww, that’s so sweet,” Zaina adds as she moves to sit near me instead.“It’s also because, well, she keeps all three of us in line,” Desmond adds, and we all laugh.“You see how

Closing the Ball

The remainder of the evening is spent in more pleasurable pursuits. Between the sumptuous desserts and the cheerful chatter with Zaina and Johnson, I start to relax and enjoy myself again. I watch the men tease each other, and I laugh. I love how solid their friendship is. This comes from years of loyalty and selflessness. Watching them lifts my spirits so much that I almost forget that we have enemies sitting across the dance floor from us. Soon enough, the band starts playing the final number for the night, and guests start to drift out of the hall. I sigh, glad it’s finally almost over. That is enough socializing for a month if you ask me. The men stand up as Shawn offers me his hand. I accept it, smiling as I stand, Desmond and Brandon falling into step behind us. We bid farewell to Zaina and Johnson this time I plan to keep my promise to call and invite her to Shark Fin or the Country Club. She gives me a warm hug and smile as she walks out hand in hand with Johnson. Walking
