Danny Phantom Maternal Instinct Novels & Stories

And my mother, Diane Sutherland, was their hero—the brave soldier who endured a supposedly terrible husband so she could funnel the Reeves fortune straight into the Sutherland family's pockets. I stared at the bank records until my heart felt like it had been locked inside a freezer. Then I dragged the file to the trash and deleted it permanently. The next day happened to be the 16th. Mom's call came right on schedule. "Sawyer, you got the money, right? Be careful with it. Don't waste it on anything you don't need." "Got it, Mom." I kept my voice tight and full of gratitude. "I'm sorry you had to go beg him again because of me. I really am."

Her hand raised halfway; knuckles curled—almost knocking. Almost. A memory stopped her. Her mother's voice, years ago: "Trust is dangerous, Ceres. Never give your full truth unless you're ready to bleed for it." She dropped her hand. "You bled for someone, didn't you, Mother? Just not for Father." She stared at the door. Her reflection shimmered faintly in the polished brass. She pressed the letter against her chest and whispered, "I will find him." A pause. "Whoever he is."

Or rather, a forced sperm donor. “I’m not hungry,” I grit out now for what feels like the tenth time. He sits across from me in a throne chair. The high walnut back twists into an intricate design of wolves howling up at the moon and the tufted fabric behind his big head is blood red. He looks like a fucking nut trying to live out some weird kingly fantasy. “Starving yourself won’t stop the inevitable, Matilda.”

"Why are you so nervous, Zoe? Cara's the one that's doing the test with Jack. I know you're very happy with Sofia as your daughter-in-law, but we can't just let her go when she's cheating." Cara timidly called out to Zoe, "Grandma…" But when Zoe heard Cara calling out, she immediately struck Cara across the face. "Who are you calling grandma, you trash? We don't even know whose kid you are. Don't act like we're family!" Ethan's expression was stony. He had suspected that Jack wasn't his own son, but Zoe took the report that she did in a small hospital all those years ago and said to Ethan, "When you suspected me all those years ago, I've already proven it. Nothing can go wrong when it's writ

A vicious, raw roar tore from my throat, shaking the very walls of the castle. I moved to tear Zelda apart, to take revenge for what she did to my mate, but Damon stepped in front of her. “Mother, no!” he shouted, shielding her with his body. I skidded to a stop, snarling, my fangs inches from his throat. Mother. Did I hear right? He had called her Mother. He fucking called her mother.

I flinched, Mother's hand instinctively reaching for me, shielding me like a lioness guarding her young. The guard smirked, slapping his baton against the bars once more, his voice dripping with scorn. "The royal court is ready to judge you... traitors." The iron door of the cage screeched open, and rough hands pulled Mother and me to our feet, shackling our wrists with cold, unyielding chains. The clinking metal reverberated in the hollow silence, heavy and foreboding. I stole a glance at Mother, whose face was a mask of determination, every line etched with an unspoken promise of survival.

WRITER'S POV Danny stepped out of the room leaving Emily half scared to death. Once Danny was out of the room, Emily gasped and staggered, Danny was really creepy and scary a while ago and had scared the shit outta her. "Oh my son…." Danny's mom squeals as she sees Danny coming downstairs. Danny grabbed a nearby couch and lowered himself into it letting out a sigh in the process. "Did he hurt you too much?" his mom asked, her eyes filled with a mother's concern for her son.

He asked in disbelief. "Yes." Danny and Darius fix their gaze on Matilda immediately. "Mother… tell me this is not true," Danny roll those words out of his tongue. He couldn't stand at the position he was. He tilted forward towards his mother. Matilda is as confused as him. Danny's words dashed her through and immediately surged in her skull, "I can't do such a thing," that word dropped from her lips. "I know you can't," Danny wanted to believe every word that comes out of his mother's mouth.

Where I could protect those I loved without judgment. But now that space was soiled by the very presence of this vile man. And I would never forgive him for it. The bastard let out a laugh. Deep and menacing. He still remained seated on my chair like he had ever fucking right to be there. “Who's the boy?” He tipped his head to Bernard and a surge of protectiveness came over me. “He's my…” “Bernard Matthew. Beta of the blue lily pack. Pleasure to meet you,” his words dripped in sarcasm and if it wasn't for how delicate of a situation this was then I might have let out a chuckle.

But then Mom hit me with the real reason for her excitement when she called back later that evening. "Kelly, darling, make sure you seize this opportunity. I want news of grandbabies by the time you get back! Hawaii is so romantic, and you'll have all that time alone together..." When the call ended, I sighed and stared at the ceiling of my room. "I'm sorry, Mom. Unfortunately, this wish of yours is one that would likely never come true." I was more suspicious of Danny than ever because he was being too much of a gentleman. Ever since that night when he almost caught me, I'd been walking on eggshells. The memory of how close I'd come to being discovered still made my heart race.
