UPDATED!!!!

A certain peace settled within the walls of the bedroom as Alex returned with the wine. His smile was more than worth the small amount of effort Nikolai had put into making their blanket bed. He found himself staring for a moment, silently bashing himself for being so a single man. Still, it...

Alexander’s body pressed against his side as they headed back to the castle kept Nikolai grounded. Somehow, the walk felt so much shorter than when they were headed to the moon pool. Perhaps it was the siren’s mild reluctance to go back. It wasn’t so much being at the castle that he didn’t like...

Few things brought Nikolai more delight than watching Alexander’s face bloom with the blush that his actions brought. It was magnified even more by the bright magic that surrounded them. There was no need to ask if his husband enjoyed the impromptu gift, it was written all over his features as...

A part of Nikolai felt he must be dreaming. Unraveling the film of his life revealed very few good deeds. Try as he may, he could not pinpoint a single event that would warrant him finding someone like Alexander. Did he deserve this? He wasn’t certain if he did, or what he’d done in a past life...

For a few long minutes after they’d left the group, Theo could still feel the anger coursing through his veins. How could anyone speak about their own child that way, let alone in front of people they’d just met? He was made aware that the king was a piece of work long before they’d met, but now...

Admittedly, the harbinger had done more damage than Winter had prepared for. Albeit part of it was his own fault for toying with the man instead of simply killing him. It was more entertaining that way, but perhaps a bit too close to actual danger. The trudge up the snowy mountains had been more...

Never in all his years did Nikolai imagine he could be teaching anyone how to swim. The knowledge was engraved into a siren’s brain from the moment they were born. Most learned to swim long before they even began to walk. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was teaching it correctly. Demonstrating...

He never asked for pity, nor did want it. Winter knew this kind well. Self-righteous and haughty. They thought so highly of themselves, looking down on anyone that wasn’t like them, and surely having the fox in their possession was just another notch to their victory belt. Killing Winter would...

If the stories hadn’t been sufficient in telling Theo what to expect when meeting his future in-laws, botb the looks on his parents faces and the tightened grip of Helena’s hand as they approached was more than enough. Theo allowed Helena to do the introduction, remaining as respectful as he...

Once upon a time, Nikolai would have rejected the idea of being so open around someone else. So honest that everything he felt was practically painted on his face. He knew Alexander had often found it hard to read him. But for all the times he’d spent masking his emotions with other emotions...

It was a touching sentiment. Troy’s gaze watched the princess as she spoke, taking note of the fondness in which she described how it felt to be here. After all the stories he’d heard about her homeland, and the things her father had done, he was relieved to know that she found comfort here...

It wasn’t the first time he’d been in this situation, and it would not be the last. Winter had once found himself at the darkest depths of the lion’s den, surrounded by men much like this one. They too, refused to kill him, dragging out every form of physical torture they could think of. At one...

Despite not being able to see himself, Nikolai knew what his face must have looked like while watching Alexander. Every bit of distrust or resentment he once might have felt towards the other was long gone. His eyes filled with the overwhelming sense of comfort the other brought him, his...

The frown that painted the man’s face was an unusual one. It wasn’t unlike Harbingers to show displeasure when forced to fight Winter. He recalled the ones he’d killed on his way out of captivity. They all looked at him the same way. With so much disgust and disdain, like he was a worthless...

Troy’s features shaped into a mixture of annoyance and frustration as he listened to Helena. Of course he knew her father wasn’t a good man. Truthfully, even if he hadn’t heard the stories, he could've picked up on it simply by the way he addressed his daughter. It was distasteful, and quite...

The worries swirling around in Alexander’s mind no doubt matched Nikolai’s own. He didn’t even think he would ever be prepared. In truth, Alex’s faith in his gods was an advantage. Even if Nikolai didn’t believe in them the way his husband did, he could at the very least admit it was admirable...

The warmth of Alexander’s laughter and touch was more comforting than the air around them. Nikolai’s gaze searched his husband’s, the mischievous grin still lingering after Nikolai made his comment. Perhaps he could allow himself to believe that his presence could bring Alexander happiness, not...

The flurries that fell around him melted the moment they hit the ground. It wasn’t yet cold enough to stick, and it was windy. The breeze carried that familiar scent as it hit Winter’s nostrils. He’d been around their kind enough times to recognize them by smell alone. A fox’s scent was never...

It hadn’t taken very long for Troy to find his parents, already engaged in conversation with a pair he didn’t quite recognize. It wasn’t until he was introduced to the king and queen that the resemblance made sense. Helena looked a lot like her mother, but there was something so strikingly...
