Autumn Rivers Novels & Stories

he jokes before shifting into his beautiful brown wolf, Ajax and sprinting into the woods leaving me standing on the porch struggling to get my leggings off. “Ugh,” I growl before letting River come forward, ripping through my clothes. I sprint to the edge of the forest where James disappeared and use my sense of smell to track him down. River is all too happy to be free for the first time in a long time. Dirt flies behind her as she tears through the forest floor. Dodging low tree limbs and fallen logs, River gracefully navigates the world around her. Her ears are alert to all of the noises around her as she sprints in the direction of James’s scent.

But suddenly. “Mommy, Daddy.” A cry from a little girl echoes right in front of him and from the other end of the bridge. The night that is deep and quiet makes the crying echoes. The burning cars in front of them and the smell of intoxicating burns are raising. He stops crying, now pitying the little girl that just got his attention. He turns his gaze in front and saw the little one dressed in red, full of wounds, and crying hard. Her cheeks are red from crying and her nose seems to swell because of the same reason. The lights from the bridge made him see her clearly, or perhaps he is only seeing himself from her.

AUTUMN'S POV I probably looked lost for the rest of the day as I racked my brain over the name thing. I was trying to think about the forms I’d filled out. I was pretty confident that I’d used the name Ava, so how did a certain Mr Cage know that my name is Autumn? Especially since the only other person/creature who knows my name is a wolf. Which also sounds absolutely bonkers. “You look like you’re a million miles away,” Amery commented beside me. I was on my way to the car.

The light danced and rippled, beautiful and serene, like the world wasn't ending somewhere else in the territory. Autumn stood at the river bank like she'd been waiting there for hours. Her long hair flowed down past her waist, catching the moonlight and making it look almost silver. She looked like a goddess standing there, ethereal and otherworldly, completely at peace. Beside her, Amira lay unconscious on the ground, her chest rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. Autumn turned back to face Korran as he approached, her expression unreadable. "Took you so long," she said, and there was the faintest hint of complaint in her voice.

"With all that surgery, maybe but don’t count on that, sweetheart. Those people are vultures." I couldn’t stop the smirk from forming on my face. If there was one thing I knew about the Riveras, it was that they wouldn’t see me coming. They're always so cluless about anything else but business and money, so stuck up in they're own world, they wouldn't care about a lowlife like me. "Hey, look!" Ashley pointed to a family photo just below the headline. My heart skipped a beat. There, standing next to her grandmother, was Autumn—only seven years old, wearing a sea-blue gown and holding her hand, smiling for the camera.

“So…where is your next destination?” “I’m planning on stopping on the Angel River, Autumn.” “The Angel River? The river famous for granting wishes?” It was also famous for making couples stay together forever. I did not believe in such things, but for now, I wanted to be hopeful that forever exists. “I don’t believe in such things, but I am more after the scenery that the place could offer right now. Will you go with me or not? I don’t want to drag you if you’re busy, Autumn.”

"Doctor Harlow, your skill is known throughout the army. Why have you returned to the capital?" The physician gave a helpless laugh. "I am old now. My body can no longer bear the camps." Mother nodded. Thinking of Adrian's condition, she said, "Then I must trouble you to look at Undersecretary Voss. His health has worsened for years, and I don't know why he still hasn't recovered." Before she could finish, the gatekeeper hurried in, stumbling. Seeing Mother's expression, he bent quickly and spoke. "Your Highness, people from Duke Arden's estate have arrived. Her Grace the Duchess has brought the heir and is storming here to find Undersecretary Voss."

As the chilly autumn breeze blew by, orange-red leaves were plucked from their branches on the trees and swept in the sky before they were abandoned and slowly settled on the surface of the water. Beneath the clear surface of the raging river she stood in, schools of colorful fishes swarmed around Yusria's limbs. They nipped and swirled, sticking and rubbing against her legs as if she was their mother. "You little midgets, why can't you just leave me alone?" Yusria sighed helplessly.

she said as Autumn nodded before they walked towards the kitchen. As they entered the kitchen, Amber immediately sat Autumn down and went to fetch her a bottle of water. Autumn leaned against the table as the place around her continued to spin. Soon, Amber returned to Autumn as she handed her the water, which she gulped down, "How are you feeling now?" She asked as Autumn smiled, "Much better," Autumn replied before Amber walked closer to her, "Autumn, now that we're alone, I'd like to confess something," she said as Autumn furrowed, "Sure, is everything alright, Amber?" She asked as Amber sighed, "Look, Autumn, I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time but I was scared, but now I c

Mitch and Randy lifted Autumn from the tub and stood her on a mat, drying her with towels, Randy patting down the last drops of moisture as Mitch released her hair and brushed it into loose waves. She closed her eyes, reveling in the attention, allowing herself to press limply against Mitch as he hoisted her into his arms and carried her to the bed.
