Ao No Flag

Meu marido Alfa, Ryder, sempre detestou o som de um filhote a chorar. Mas, recentemente, ele começou a cuidar do filhote recém-nascido da minha irmã adotiva, ficando ao lado dele no berçário todas as noites até o amanhecer. Toda vez que Ryder saía do nosso quarto para o berçário, uma dor forte e inexplicável perfurava meu peito. Essa agonia durava a noite inteira, até o amanhecer, quando ele voltava. Eu finalmente tinha chegado ao meu limite. No Festival da Lua Cheia, anunciei na frente de toda a alcateia que estava rejeitando nosso Laço de Companheiro. A conexão mental da alcateia explodiu em sussurros de que a batalha havia danificado minha mente. Uma luz dourada acendeu nos olhos de Ryder enquanto ele me encarava, descrente. — Por eu estar ocupado demais para verificar se você estava bem quando se feriu, você está rejeitando nosso laço por causa de um filhote de seis meses? Eu não o encarei. Em vez disso, meu olhar se demorou na leve marca de batom borrada dentro da gola dele. Minha voz tremeu, mas não vacilou. — Já que você ama tanto o filhote dela, assim que nosso laço for rompido, você poderá ser abertamente o pai.

My husband lies to me about working late on Christmas Day. I know he wants to give me a surprise—I saw a jewelry set worth millions of dollars in his pocket.

"You're the most precious Christmas gift I've gotten." My husband changes the background photo on his social media to a photo of them together. I smile and like the post. Later, the secretary comes to me and smugly says she's pregnant. Meanwhile, I pull out a diagnosis report verifying that my husband is sterile. "Checkmate!" She visibly panics.
