Atticus and I have agreed to something my father proposed - for the two weeks leading up to the wedding, we will spend our time apart. It was something he and my mother did before their wedding, and he tells me it brought them closer together. Atticus doesn’t seem too thrilled with the idea, but in t...

“My parents want me to get up early and start as soon as possible each day.” They say it genial, but there is a repugnance to their tone. They look at me and I see their eyes focus on my chest for a moment.
I clear my throat as the nerves pick up. “Have you had breakfast? I was just getting ready to make my own.”
Franziska shakes their head. “I had tea, but not much else....

Biqri chuffs. “You don’t have to be kind.”
“I don’t have to, but it’s nice, isn't it?” You stand up again then motion to the table. “Do you need some privacy while you get comfortable?”

Rosenrot gives me the eye. “What terms were you thinking?” They scoff.
I bow my head and laugh. “You know? I’m not certain. I really don’t understand what I was thinking.”
Rosenrot brings me into a hug, wrapping their long arms around me. I feel safe with them, more so than anyone in...

You became part of King Nazrath’s harem when you were young. It was a fate that promised comfort and safety in harsh, unpredictable times.

His lip curls over his sharp teeth and a sinister grin appears. “Fallen on hard times, has he? Well, good. He can rot somewhere else. As soon as I can, I will have him removed from here.”
“Don’t you dare,” I snap back at him. “His wife...

Atticus kisses me, wrapping me up in his strong arms again. “Just a warning. I will always make sure to stoke your fire properly, my love.”
“You can garden after we’re married,” I return the warning. “I want to look perfect on the day.”
Atticus smirks. “You look pretty damn perfect now.”

Going back to Hearthway Hollow is something you have tried to avoid. Growing up there, it had been the best place in the world. Your family wasn’t big, but you were very close to your cousin Shauna, and the two of you were inseparable.

As I was starting to doze off myself, there was a pounding at my door. Kisska stirred, fussed, and started to cry loudly. There was another bang at the door, and when I answered I stood face to face with an Orc.
