020: Almost Caught

{~Cherry Reed~}“Cherry,” Red called out again.I love her, I really do, but this is the second time she’s blocked Nathaniel and me from getting it on.I could tell from the moment his lips left mine that he was back to thinking rationally. And that’s not what I need right now. I shoved him and hopped down. My legs almost gave out, and my body was still reeling from the pleasure it had been feeling just seconds ago.There’s no time for me to worry about any of that. I grabbed Nathaniel’s wrist with both of my hands and dragged him towards the left staircase. I didn’t say anything until we got to the top floor, where most of my thick dresses were.“Hide in there. Just kneel, and hopefully the clothes will cover you.”He nodded, which was good because I doubted we had much time before Red decided to check the walk-in closet.I rushed down the stairs once I was sure he couldn’t be seen. I even did a double-take just to be sure Red wouldn’t notice him. With that cleared up, I pulled the c

021: A Hard Problem To Fight

{~Nathaniel Cross~}Wallowing in regret is the one thing I should be doing, but I’m not. I was on my way to pick a fight at the local ring. Anyone can sign up and get their ass beaten for a bunch of cash. I have no business with the money; I just wanted to fight.There are big guys in this pack who can put up a good fight.I was so close when Margaret called with excitement. Telling me to come home in time for dinner. I was curious at first, wondering why she needed to tell me that. I didn’t intend to skip dinner today, but then she mentioned the reason.Cherlyn had a new boyfriend, and she was hoping it’d be Loki.I should have used my head. Calmed myself down instead of breaking several traffic laws to get back to the house. I should have accepted Cherry’s vague explanations instead of touching her, kissing her.I could still feel the softness of her wet folds against my fingers. Those panties couldn’t hide anything. That girl wanted me. She moaned for me. She said it was her secret

022: Disastrous Dinner

{~Cherry Reed~}Dinner is tense. Like really tense.Mom isn’t too big a fan of the fact that I lied to her. But she didn’t give me any choice. I had to do this for Sheryl. How else would I have gotten her to meet Andrei?She hasn’t said a word since he introduced himself, and Nathaniel looked like he had something he was itching to say about Andrei, but chose to keep it to himself.We were seated, served the delicious meal mom had made, and waited for someone to finally break the silence and say something.Red looked at me for help, and I sighed. It has to be me.I cleared my throat. “So, Andrei, this is our mom. Margaret Cross—“ Well, she also responds to Margaret Reed. “And our stepfather, Nathaniel Cross.”“Hello. I hope I’m not intruding. I was told I was invited.” Andrei said he sounded calm even though his girlfriend was fidgeting next to him. Unable to keep her eyes from twitching this weird, freaky way.“You were not invited,” Mom says, her tone clipped. “I thought I was meeti

023: Who Is To Blame?

{~Nathaniel Cross~}I sighed into the palms of my hands. Of course, this dinner had turned into a nightmare. I don’t know what I could have done differently.I don’t like to yell at Margaret, it reminds her of her ex-mate too much. All he did was yell. I prefer to be kind to her, to make sure my actions never once remind her of that monster. But what can I do to save her from herself? Doesn’t matter how I think about it.I’m left feeling hollow. I don’t want to demonize Margaret’s actions, but at the same time, Sheryl did nothing to deserve being humiliated like that.Even Cherry was disgusted with her mother’s actions.I can’t play the mediator this time. I need to say something. I need to let her know this can’t happen in front of me or a stranger again. Sheryl will not be blamed for who she chooses to love. Which means for now, I can’t bring up what I know about the Evermore family.In their defense, they’re good people. They just had a really bad egg that tormented so many packs,

024: Two Different Mothers

{~Cherry Reed~}I searched the whole estate for Red.Okay, I’m exaggerating. I knew where to find her, but it was so far from the mansion that it was no different from actually running around the whole place.There’s this greenhouse, small and full of some of the most unique flowers and plants you’ll ever find. No, Nathaniel doesn’t have a green thumb. In fact, the man kills more plants than anyone I know.However, his mother loved plants. She loved them even more if they were one of a kind. Or hard to find. When she died, his father tried to burn her plants, so Nathaniel moved everything to a greenhouse. Then, once he had his own place, this wonderful estate, he built a small greenhouse for them.He pays three women to check on the plants. So they can never die.Sheryl loves that place. She’s like his mother. She takes care of them sometimes, even when the women are around. She’s there helping.She paints here too.She paints in places she can find peace. The greenhouse, the gardens,

025: An Accident

{~Cherry Reed~}Andrei took Red and me out to dinner that night to clear her mind from all the horrible things that had happened. We returned home late, and I left them to have fun.I wish I could say I had a different experience from the past two nights, that I slept soundly, but it was the same thing. I didn’t even try, lying on my back and staring at the roof. Counting all the tiny scraps I could find.Though I doubted there were any. My brain was playing tricks on me.I couldn’t even close my eyes. That thing about your body forcing you to rest doesn’t happen for me until I’m truly exhausted.For now, it doesn’t seem like I’ve reached that level of tiredness.By the time the sun came up, I was regretting a lot of my choices. Tonight, I’ll take my sleeping meds. Just one. Just like the doctor recommended.Though I’ll be the first to admit that I’m really scared. I know myself all too well. If one pill touches my tongue, I’ll end up taking more. Maybe there’s another way. I’m free t

026: Words Are Like Knives

{~Cherry Reed~}I don’t know how long I stood there staring at Nathaniel’s body. I’ve seen him half-naked a lot. I’ve written down the date and time on my notes app. Just to immortalize each occurrence. I’ve perfected keeping my expression indifferent.But during those times, I assumed I was stuck in a one-sided sin.This is different. I know he wants me even though he doesn’t want to.“Uhh, I came to ask you something.” Right, what was it? Something about… oh my god. I have no idea. I actually don’t know why I came here. He’s going to think I’m a pervert.I mean, I kind of am when it comes to him, but he doesn’t need to know that.“Close the door, and take a seat, Cherry.” He doesn’t sound upset or surprised. I’m almost offended.I stepped further into the room, kicking the door shut. I kept my eyes on his chest, especially the tattooed pecs. This man is such a beefcake. So strong, so hot, so tempting. How can anyone keep their hands off him?If I had any window to be his, I would ne

027: Doctor’s Orders

{~Nathaniel Cross~}Aeron arrived on time. Cherry had waited for him outside. I stood with her. Not wanting her to meet with my brother alone. If she thought he was intolerable at family dinners, then she hasn’t experienced him by himself.To his credit, Aeron is not as bad as Dallo. But he’s worse than Micah. Actually, scratch that, they’re both shitty. Aeron just does his thing with a smile. And I should also add, he’s a big pervert. While a lot of people in my family believe omegas are the runts of the world and have opted to treat them poorly, Aeron kind of thinks he can make a pass on any omega, married or not.If he likes one, he’ll say the most outlandish things to them without even considering whether they’re people who deserve basic respect.Normally, I can trust him around Cherry, but I’m pretty sure things are different now.I noticed over the family dinner three nights ago that he was a little too nice to Cherry. My brothers are only nice to the twins when they want someth

028: An Honest Sleepover

{~Cherry Reed~}I don’t know how long I’ve been sober, but it feels like years since I last had a drop of alcohol. I’m starting to see spirits and hear color. In class today, I swear our teacher came in on a tricycle, hooting and hollering about the second coming of Queen Something.I was so sure it happened, but I had to remind myself that I was sober, so my body was struggling. Hallucinations would come time and time again.God, I need a fucking drink. If I had been drinking, I wouldn’t have agreed to help Red host a sleepover to introduce our friends to Andrei. She said something about realizing that they’d never met him, even though they knew he existed. I was the only one she bothered to introduce him to.If I were drunk, I’d have thought of a good excuse to bail on that because I didn’t want to sit around talking about feelings. Unfortunately, I turned over a new leaf. Seeing the look on Nathaniel’s face yesterday made this sobriety worth it.After Aeron left, he told me he was

029: Watching Her Alone Time

{~Nathaniel Cross~}There was a soft knock on my bedroom door. It’s almost midnight, no one should be up. Cherry had shown up hours earlier to get the one pill she needed to help her sleep. I know Red was having a sleepover, and she’s never awake this late unless something wrong happened.I slid out of bed, closing the distance to the door in four strides. I opened it slowly to find Margaret there, staring up at me with a strange look of defeat.“Hi, can we talk?” Her question came out in this tiny voice. The caring part of me wondered if she’d had a nightmare that kept her from falling back asleep. We haven’t talked since that dinner.“We can talk here.”“Nathaniel, don’t be childish.” I slammed the door in her face without uttering another word. She pounded on it. “Okay, that was wrong of me to say. I’m sorry. I’m not here for me. I’m here on behalf of Cherry.I pulled the door apart again, worry filling my beast. “What happened to her?”“She won’t talk to me, and I’m… sure somethin
