Ray X Norman Novels & Stories

The land itself felt alive here, humming with a quiet, powerful energy that I knew would aid Riley. Norman had finally left a few hours ago, looking like a man torn between two worlds. He'd gone to his "important business meetings," his words still laced with that familiar self-importance. I’d assured him, as calmly as I could, that Riley would be just fine, that he didn’t need to bother staying. Part of me found it amusing that he, the great leader, actually listened to me, the 'oddball' brother. It showed how desperate he truly was. Still, even with his departure, he couldn't completely let go of his control. He'd left a couple of his burly, silent guards posted outside the cabin, pacing t

“Rhayden!” He stopped, turning and started to run up the hall toward me, a smile coming to his lips. Rhayden was here… for me… “Rhayden!” “Mars!” he called out, the smile fading as he reached out. “Mars! No!” I didn’t have to turn to know what was behind me… but I did anyway. Norman loomed over me, blood gushing from the wound on his head and as I stepped back toward Rhayden, he stepped forward.

Low and unhurried, like he had nowhere else to be and nothing more important than the syllables of my name. I looked up. Norman stood at the hallway entrance in his white coat, a tablet in one hand, looking exactly the way he always looked — composed, professional, and completely unfair. His brown eyes found mine immediately, and something shifted in his expression, just barely. A flicker. Gone before I could name it. He held the door open. “Come on back.” The examination room was small and too bright and smelled like rubber gloves and cold air. Norman closed the door behind us and set his tablet on the counter, scanning whatever notes the receptionist had pulled up.

He studied me for a long moment before leaning back in his chair again, crossing his arms. "Fine," he said at last. "Since you're so interested," he continued, his gaze locked on mine, "I'll introduce myself properly." "My name is Norman Walter, CEO of Monarch Technology”

Rayne whimpered as tears streamed down her face. "You will... I promise you, I will provide you with a luxurious and prosperous life. You'll no longer be humiliated or imprisoned or threatened," I said, looking at her. "I... thank you," she murmured and closed her eyes. I was not sure if Rayne was broken or strong, she had always been a mix of both things; she was the strongest broken person I had ever seen in my entire life.

Alpha Wyatt had a worried look on his face. “Are you okay?” He asked. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Shrugging my shoulders. “I know you’re going through a lot little wolf, but you’ll get through it, you’re stronger than you think” he winked at me. “That’s what everyone’s telling me” I scoffed. “I meant emotionally Remi, you’ll be able to overcome this.”

Norman said as he tightened their hug. "I guess I need to be alive, Norman," Xena gasped. "Oops, my bad," Norman said, realizing he had been holding onto Xena a little too tightly. "I promise, my Alpha. I won’t try anything stupid again," Xena reassured him. "Now that’s the Xena I know. The Xena I love. The Xena I would give the world for," Norman praised. "I also promise to let you have your way with Alexa when the time presents itself," Norman added.

"So I decided to come down straight to Dex’s family home. I know he always tries to clear his schedule to come home during the weekends to see Clara and his girl. But to my absolute shock, when I knocked on that front door, I didn't meet Dex. I met a mourning household. I found out about the highway, the shooting... all of it." Mae let out a soft whimper, pressing her tissue to her nose as Norman placed a comforting hand on her arm. "I've been staying right there at their house for the last forty-eight hours," Norman explained, looking directly at me now, his eyes searching my face for any sign of softening. "Helping them out with whatever they needed. Dex was my brother." He took a slow ste

Lexi said. “I do?” “Yeah you do. You remind me of spring time.” Norm said happily. “Thank you. I think.” I watched as Lexi looked at the pictures I had on my wall then moved to look at the three on my nightstand. Norm started checking out my pictures at the same time. “Oh. Who is this slice of sexy?” Norm asked, holding out the photo of Rowen, and me dancing. “That’s Rowen.” I answered, smiling at the picture.

“I've just been following this Daniel Ranlone guy, and so far I haven't gotten anything from him. I still think he has something more to do with all of this than just being the missing girl's boyfriend, but he's been careful not to give anything away. Norma poured herself another drink of vodka and held it up in front of her. “Every time I remember Roy, I drink to him. Cheers!” She drank the drink and put the glass on the table, looking at her companions. They understood. Mark got up and went to the bar, asking the bartender for a couple of glasses. He returned to them and poured himself a couple of shots from Norma's vodka bottle, handing one to Doris. He also served another one to Norma. “
