Caitlin Todd Novels & Stories

Emily Warner “So what brings you to the dating sites?” I ask trying to change the subject. “Just trying to get to meet new people, I guess.” He says as the waiter comes in to take the order. I remember Carter telling me that’s code for a guy when he wants to have casual sex. But Jacob said on the dating profile that he was looking for someone to date? “So, what do you do?’ I ask as the waiter leaves after taking our order. “I am a lawyer but I am also a part time scuba instructor.” He says nicely but it wasn’t the same anymore.

Feeling vexed by Cord’s insensitive treatment, Amanda inserted herself in their conversation. “You are probably the rudest person I have ever met, Mister Vitalis, ” she said, giving him a frown. Then, she faced the stunned Heather and shot a hand in between them. “Hi, I’m Caitlin O’Malley by the way. It’s a pleasure to meet one of the family members.” Heather smiled at her, wider this time, and shook Amanda’s hand. “Heather Ferguson, honey, and I’m telling you now, I am going to like you. I’ve never seen a woman courageous enough to be frank in front of the Master.”

Surprisingly, besides my parents, Chad, Lauren, Ryan, and Alice are already here too. “Uncle Spencer! Aunt Hayden! Finally!” Caitlin is the first one to get to us, jumping into Spencer’s arms, even though she’s grown so much in the past couple of years. I hear him chuckling nervously as he tries to hold her weight, and I bite my lip so as not to laugh, focusing on Aubrie’s hug instead. “Aren’t you the cutest pregnant woman on the planet?” she muses sweetly, pulling away from me and glancing at my not-so-visible belly.

He actually sat with his feet up on the desk, reading the paper, ignoring everyone. Caitlin walked over to him and placed her new I.D. card on the desk. She stood there and waited for him to look up, but he never did. She finally cleared her throat. “Excuse me.” He reluctantly lowered his newspaper. “I’m Caitlin Paine. I’m new. I think I’m supposed to give you this.” “I’m just a sub,” he replied, and raised his paper, blocking her. She stood there, confused. “So,” she asked, “….you don’t take attendance?”

Casting an angry glance at Caitlin, the woman rushed into one of the stalls to attend to her needs. Caitlin was not herself for the remainder of the day, always avoiding the CEO whenever he was around. Her performance suffered, and she faced a harsh scolding from Matilda. The thought of quitting crossed her mind, but she realized she couldn't afford to lose this job, as she needed it to support herself and her son. Grace had worked hard to secure this opportunity for her, and she felt she couldn't be ungrateful by resigning. Restless and eager for the day to end, she anxiously awaited closing time.

Cain presses a kiss to my forehead, taking my water bottle and going to sit down with my friends. "You're not joining?" I ask and he shakes his head. "I'm your official lead cheerleader. Go on." He gestures to the starting line, where Calista and the teens have lined up, leaving space for me on one end. Come on Tegwen, you can do this. The fact that I just referred to myself as Tegwen makes me hesitate when Levi shouts go and I'm left standing there for all of a second when the others have already started. "Go, Flame." Cain's voice cuts through my thoughts and I take off after the group, pushing myself to catch up with Calista, who is in the lead and already over the first obstacle.

I say in a firm voice, leaving the house. It took Caitlin three hours to find her and to get me all of the details I needed on her, her full name Is Zariah, she's a lawyer, and she graduated from a high-end university with a perfect score, she's originally from Scotland, but moved into the US a while ago right after graduation and started to work for Thalia, my Thalia, that bitch, and she's hiding her from me!

Did it just have to be Caitlyn of all people? I was miserable the entire time. Caitlyn Blossom is the worst! All she did was play with her phone, drum on the table, chew her gum loudly and doodle all over the desk. She was driving me crazy! I made up my mind to have a long talk with Mrs Ariyo by the end of the day.

It was risky, standing up to one of these when Linc or Lilah were not around. A smile cracks on the woman's face. “Fairplay to you for trying to stand up for yourself.” “I have nothing else going for me. Not anymore.” Being here was worse than being homeless. At least then I was able to protect myself and hide away from the world. A laugh escapes the woman’s plump lips and she takes another sip of her tea as she stares at me. “I’m Kaitlin.” “The lady who had twins with the shifter?” She clamps her mouth shut in annoyance. She sucks in her cheeks before speaking again. “I was tricked.”

"She is yet to wake up. But according to the marks on her body, she has been under abuse for a long time. Others were still fresh." "It's like she had been whipped for a good number **of** years." The doctor said. "Do your best to make sure that she wakes up as soon as possible," Ashton said. "Yes, Alpha. We will do our best." Ashton waved his hand and walked towards the study room. Theo was following him. "What did you find out from your investigation?" "The girl's name is Maya Brown. She was saved by Mark Syden, the now alpha of wind winders pack." "What did you say her name was?" Ashton asked. He felt like he was hearing things.
