Its still early in the afternoon so I decide to do some light reading. Reece got over his possessive BS and let me carry on working. So, after the two months I’ve been working with as his assistant, Roy decided it’s time to let me shadow an editor in my spare time, which isn't much but it's a start. The editor is such a nice female. Her name is Helietta and she is a 600 year old fae who has been editing since the first printing press so I have a CRAP TONNE to learn from her. I sit all tucked up on one of the wicker chair on my office patio. I turn to the next chapter of one of the project books she gave me to edit. It's nothing big but it's still something. Immediately I'm hooked. Sounds start to fade, the room begins to morph into some else's bedroom and Reece's stare fades with my reality. I can feel the main characters touch on my skin. The sound of the river outside of the tavern room. The roudy sailers drinking their beer downstairs. I can feel the leather belt unde

Calypso“THERE’S A LETTER FOR YOU REECE!” I shout into the castle as sift through the mail. Usually someone brings the mail to everyone but I’m anxious about receiving a letter. I recently sent a letter to one of the greatest warriors in all of were-history asking if I could spend time training in his pack. He hasn’t sent anything back but I check the mail everyday just to make sure. Reece storms into the room and snatches the letter from my hand. He scoffs before reading it out loud, “I know you’re probably mad about the work trip but I’ll be back soon. I love you. Kim. I love you, Kim? Can you believe this?” He looks up at me. “She has an emergency work trip with no cell service and the best I get is a card saying I know you’re mad and I love you? What bullshit is this?” “I don’t care, Reece.” I finish sifting through the mail, throw

KimThe darkness eats at me, mocks me. I used to love darkness - being snuggled up with Reece in bed at night; staying late at work and watching the city breathe - but now, it’s lonely. This room is filled with extraneous amounts of crap and yet it feels empty, I feel empty. No more am I filled with the life blooming in my womb. I’m empty. And all I keep thinking about is Reece. Not how he would want me home safe and sound but how angry he’ll be. Angry at me for choosing to send Matteo home instead of bargaining for our babies life. I wanted a baby, I truly did, and I would have loved it with my whole heart but I have to admit, it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel so, free. Maybe I’m just loosing my mind! I’m probably loosing my mind. I love my mate and I want a baby with him. But… why do I feel this relieved if that’s what I want?

Which typically is about 5 hours in. And we always end by 5 am when the other beings begin training.  I’m starting to get stronger. I can feel it. My body is stronger than it has ever been.  And the wind… it stopped speaking but is always near. Like it walks in my fresh footprints. Always at my back.  “Enough.” Derek drops his hands and takes a step away. I glance at the clock above the mats - 4:30.  “You did well but your mind is elsewhere.” He grabs his water bottle. It looks so out of place. An ancient Fae-

Roy It’s been three days since Kim’s been into work. Three days and no word. Not an email, call or text and I’m starting to worry. It’s not like her. She lets me know if she’s going to be two minutes late because they got caught in traffic but she doesn’t show up for three days and says nothing? That’s not like her. “ROY!” Kira shouts. She sounds panicked. “ROY!” I stand from my chair and rush out my office. She’s running towards me. “You have to come, quickly.” She grabs my arms and then turns and drags me towards the elevator. “What is going on?” I’m now running with her to the elevator. She presses the parking button and the elevator doors close. “It’s Matteo. Someone dropped him in my parking space. He does not look good , Roy.” She rushes out of the elevator. “I’m so luck
