Read Me When Letters Novels & Stories

I am writing this letter so I can inform you that I’ll be waiting inside with the teacher. Ps: Tell your family that I wish them a cheerful holiday. Best regards, August, I finished reading the letter and examined the circled and capitalized words. I was able to understand the cryptic letter since Raverine had studied its structure and codes already. The “May” was intentionally capitalized but that doesn’t mean that the letter was written in May. Rather…

There's something about that detail that hits harder than it should. I pull the letter out, unfold it, and for a second I just... hold it, my fingers brushing over the ink, noticing where it's pressed deeper in some places, lighter in others. He crossed out a lot of words. Typos, probably. That feels more personal than I'm ready for. "Okay," I whisper anyway, more to steady myself than anything else. Then I start reading. "An, Ana, Annie, Stass, Stassie, Sia,

I look at the screen. The person who sent seventeen readings. Their message is one word. Ready. I look at it. I look at Lucien. He reads it over my shoulder. I type back: The door is open. It has always been open. Come whenever you choose. Their response arrives in under a minute, and it is not another single word, it is the beginning of something, the specific, careful first paragraph of a person who has been ready longer than they knew and has finally found the words to start.

“As I’ve thought… Got it.” Czaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letter’s too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision.

I said softly and Rune bit his lip telling me he would take note of that. I rolled my eyes and set the table. There was another knock at the door and I eyed Rune. He asked me to watch the pancakes in the pan as he headed toward the front door. I flipped them and peeked out the kitchen door to see Rune standing there holding several letters. He had opened up one and was reading it. His brow had furrowed and I bit my lip and went back to take the finished pancakes out of the pan and added four more.

After a long, tense silence, he pulls at the legs of the tidy bow tie knotting the ribbon, then lifts the first letter up from the stack. It’s the most recent one, unmarked and covered in the scents of two people who—if I’m right—no longer exist. He turns it over, flips open the flap, and peeks at the letter within. His eyes shut, a curtain of dark grey lashes fluttering against his cheeks.

I was certain that the letter reached him satisfactorily. I couldn't help but try not to flush as a smile started to appear on my face. I was relieved that he could hear me and that we could finally communicate. I'm happy that I asked the Alpha for assistance, and I'm also happy that he did.

Each takes a letter. And I wait for the chaos to unfold.

I feel a flutter in response. Ready.
