AIDEN BAHEDIA We stand outside of the door waiting for my cousins arrival. I haven't seen them for six years. I got a call yesterday saying they would be coming today to stay for awhile. I am excited to see my cousin Ashie. We used to be really close before she moved with her family- they stayed within the reach of the coven. She married two years ago and gave birth a month ago. Their car drives into the compound. Sasha is standing by my right, on my left hand is Seb, Alex. Ashie Cadio steps out of the car carrying a child in her hand. She hasn't changed much and her hair seems shorter. Her white curly hair, the length of her shoulder, doe eyes, a neatly done micro blading, small pointed nose, grey eyes. She has four piercing on her right earlobe and none of her left earlobe. She is wearing a black palazzo trouser on a blue long sleeve crop top, her wolf and dagger tattoo on her stomach are visible. I shake my head and smile. She hasn't changed one bit. Her Russia
Sasha Vahemir POVI open my eyes and try to stretch, my whole body aching. As I attempt to sit up, the pain intensifies. Glancing around, I notice the room in disarray, a broken window with debris scattered all around. I search for Aiden but he is nowhere to be found."Did a war happen while I was asleep?" I mutter to myself, gathering my thoughts.I try to stand up, but a migraine kicks in before I can fully get up. Taking a deep breath, I rise through the pain. While walking towards the door, I notice it's slightly ajar. I hear voices from outside—it sounds like Aiden and Davil. Is Davil here to see me? Filled with excitement, I take a step outside but halt after catching Davil's words."I can't come. We are still ther-" Davil says, interrupted by Aiden."Still there? What the hell, Davil? Your sister is sick and needs you, and you're taking forever to put the damn ring on her finger. Slipping a ring onto a woman's finger takes less than two minutes, yet it's been da-""Don't yell a
AIDEN BAHEDIASeb and Beatrice are cuddling each other as they play with each other's fingers. Ashie is sitting beside her husband, her back against his chest, and she laughs as he whispers in her ear. Alex and Andre are arguing about something, while Sasha is playing with the wine in her hand, her eyes glued to the fire before her. Laura walks in and sits beside me, her face facing mine.I hear Sasha's phone ringing and turn my head to see her still doing her thing. Andre taps her, and she doesn't budge; she must have zoned out. Andre applies pressure, earning stares from everyone. After a while, she sluggishly tilts her head to face Andre, wearing an emotionless expression."Your phone?""Anything else?" She turns her head to the side, and Andre shakes his head.The call ends, and she doesn't bother to ask. The phone rings again, and she still doesn't answer. She gulps down the entire glass of wine and pours herself another one. The call ends, and her eyes are still fixed on the fire
SASHA VAHEMIRI don't have a moment's peace as my mind is fixated on Aiden. Can I trust him to keep his word? How careless of me not to wear the lens; I didn't expect him to wake up. When I finally reach the bed, Andre is already fast asleep.As I descend the stairs, my heart races. A hand pulls me against a familiar chest. I recognize the scent of Davil's perfume. I step back, meeting his eyes, while Victoria Darc stands excitedly nearby. The room's attention is on us, except for Aiden and Seb. Did Davil exclude Seb to talk about yesterday?"Excuse us," Davil commands, studying my face and body for signs of abuse.Everyone disperses, leaving just the two of us."You too, kokobean," Victoria nods before leaving the room."What happened?""Why are you here? Leave, Davil—""Your anger is valid, Sasha. I'm sorry. I needed you there. I needed my only sister, my emotional support, my rock. We thought it was right to let you bond with your husban—" I interrupt, pointing to the stairs."Husb
SASHA VAHEMIR "There is nothing to talk about", I walk into the room and he scoffs. "I knew you won't oblige", he sighs and stands and walk towards the door. I run after him and pull him back. I push his chest and he doesn't bulge, his facial expression is emotionless, therefore making it hard to guess what he is thinking before reading into his mind. "You don't want to talk, maybe you will talk to other p-" "Don't play that stupid game with me. I don't need counselling", I shoot back. He shrugs his shoulder, "Who knows you might need severe counselling. For all we know you have daddy issue, maybe because he never returned with the mil-" "You know so much about daddy issue- oh wait, of course you would. You have a perfectionist as a Dad. Maybe my dad never returned with the milk but he left behind a legacy but what did your dad leave for you, burdens. So please let us talk about our father's short coming, I am down for it ", I and Aiden are having a little staring competition an
Aiden Bahedia We are in Sasha's private plane, Sasha has her eyes turn towards the window, her headset above her eyes. She has her head made in a big Didi. I look away from her and look out my window. Sasha has been unusually quiet and is strangely unbothered by everyone being back at home. I guess she doesn't mind this trip after all. The trip to the city of love was quiet and comfortable. I steal glances at her on every occasion, she on the other hand doesn't care if she is on the plane with someone other than the crew. Sasha steps down from the plane, the guards guiding her with his hands. I follow closely behind her. We walk to our convoy and zoom off. Sasha never for once took her headset out of her head or spoke to anyone. **** "One bedroom great" Sasha grumbles and finally removes her headset. Mrs El Mushacr rented the entire hotel just for Sasha, the guards, the cook and I. Anyone who doesn't work for the coven directly was relieved off t
**AIDEN BAHEDIA**The curtain opens and I groan. Why does she have to wake up only after I wake up? I use a pillow to cover my face and sit up a few minutes later. My hair is all over the place. I look up at Sasha who has her headsets over her ears. This early morning, Sasha."A little time change. We are dining with them this morning," she says before heading to the bathroom.I lie back on the bed and groan even louder.*******She stands in front of the mirror. The maids leave the room, leaving her to admire herself. She looks as beautiful as she does every damn day. She wears a red blazer suit that blends with her hair color. Her makeup is heavy; fixed lashes, nails of different colors. The makeup artist did an amazing job mixing beige with red for her lipstick. Her hair is curled and clipped neatly, making it full. She looks at her reflection and smiles at the beauty before her. She opens her lens pack, glances at me through the mirror, and fixes her lenses. She puts on her red he
SASHA VAHEMIR "She's fine, daddy," I hear Aiden say from the window. I open my eyes slightly and catch him shirtless, wearing black shorts and sandals. He has his left hand on the window, his right hand holding his phone against his ear. He turns around, and I shut my eyes and pretend to be asleep. After a few minutes, I open my eyes again and find him seated on the round chair in front of the bed. Sweat is dripping down his abdomen, the lines of his muscles clearly visible. His biceps and muscles - damn. I had forgotten just how magnificent he looked. "Yeah, yeah. We'll have the time of our lives. Tell Alex to call me and please keep me updated," he looks up as if he wants to glance at me, and I quickly shut my eyes. I could have sworn I heard him chuckle. "Hell no. Why do I have to be the one to tell her?" he complains. Maybe he didn't notice me looking at him. "Davil should call his sister and break the news to her," he gets up from the chair, running his fingers through hi
