The Daily Dose Café - Two Days Later

The smell of burnt espresso beans and wet wool was usually enough to mask anything here in the cafe, but today, it wasn't enough to mask Zara's exhaustion.

She stood behind the counter of The Daily Dose, a cramped, humid coffee shop three blocks from campus that catered to sleep deprived students and budget conscious locals around the area. It was 3:00 PM on a Thursday. Outside, the sky was a bruised shade of purple, threatening another storm.

    The Bedtime StoryThe twins were tucked into their beds, smelling of lavender soap and fresh cotton. The room was dim, lit only by the glow of the nightlight shaped like a crescent moon."Story time!" Lyra demanded, clutching her stuffed wolf. "The one about the King!" she requested.Alex sat in the rocking chair between their beds, stretching his long legs out. Zara leaned against the doorframe, listening."Again?" Alex asked. "You know how it ends." he told them."Tell it!" Leo insisted.Alex cleared his throat, his voice dropping to a low, storytelling rumble."Once upon a time, there was a King who lived in the shadows. He was very strong, and was also feared, but he was very lonely. He lived in a world of grey, where nothing had any color or scent." he started telling the story."Because he was grumpy," Lyra interrupted."No, because he was waiting," Alex corrected gently. "He waited a long time. And then, one day, he walked into a room full of people, and he found a ghost." he s

    "Papa, Mama, welcome! Uncle Zayn said you fired everyone!" Leo shouted, looking impressed. "I dismissed them, not fired" Alex corrected, lifting Leo up with one arm and Lyra with the other. He groaned dramatically, though the smile tugging at his lips ruined the effect. "You two are getting heavy. What have you been eating? Are you eating rocks?" he teased them. "No Papa, not rocks, just pancakes and plenty syrups!" Lyra giggled, poking his cheek. "And you smell a lot like Mama." she added, sniffing his neck.. Zara, who was pulling off her boots with a sigh of relief after being in them for a long time, laughed. "That's enough, detectives. It's bath time. Who wants bubbles?" she asked them. The cheer that erupted from the two was so loud that it could have shattered glass. Thirty minutes later, the master bathroom, which was a space usually reserved for relaxation and silence, was now looking like a disaster zone. The massive soaking tub was filled to the brim with warm water an

    The InterruptionIt was 3:00 PM when Zara decided she was now so bored.The twins were down for their afternoon nap (a miracle that was only achieved by bribery which solely involved an extra hour of TV later). The house was quiet. Too quiet.Zara waddled to the window of the library, looking out at the sprawling grounds. She felt the restless energy of the White Wolf humming softly under her skin. Her wolf didn't like being cooped up, and she missed her mate too, like she hadn’t been with him some hours ago or even for the last few weeks.She could mind link him.Or... she could just go surprise him."Driver," Zara called out, her voice echoing in the hall. "Prepare the car. We're going to Smith Tower now." she said to the driver.The Smith Tower was a fortress of glass and steel in the center of the city. It was the heart of Alexander's business empire.When Zara walked into the lobby, the atmosphere quickly shifted. The receptionist, probably a new hire who didn't recognize the Lun

    The Chaos of Breakfast...Three hours later, the "Sanctuary" had now turned into a war zone.The kitchen of the Smith Estate was usually a place of gourmet precision, which was run by a French chef who feared Alex more than death itself. But today, it was run by the loud voices of Leo and Lyra."More syrup! Add more syrup" Leo demanded, standing on his chair."Leo, sit down now before you fall and I would have to heal you," Zara commanded gently as she waddled into the kitchen. She was wearing leggings and one of Alex's cashmere sweaters that stretched tight over her bump. Although she looked exhausted but she was radiant."I won't fall! I have wolf reflexes!" Leo argued, though he sat down immediately when Alex walked in behind Zara.Alex was dressed in a business charcoal suit, black tie, Rolex glinting on his wrist, looking like a sharp business man that he is but the image was ruined by the fact that he was carrying a bright pink backpack in one hand and a tiny pair of sneakers in

    In the Sanctuary of the Master’s Suite…The sun had not yet risen over the eastern ridges of the Smith’s territory, but the master suite was already awake. Or, to put it more accurately, the Master of the territory was already awake, and he was currently busy worshiping his wife.The room was vast, a cavern of dark wood, floor to ceiling glass, and silk sheets that smelled of lavender and the deep, woodsy scent of the forest rain which was Alex's scent. But in the center of the massive California King bed, the Shadow King was not acting like a ruler. He was acting like a man possessed.Zara stirred, a soft groan escaping her lips as she felt the warm, rough slide of a hand moving over the curve of her stomach."Alex," she whispered, her voice thick with sleep, her eyes still heavy. "It's... it's just 4:00 AM." she said to him"Go back to sleep, Tesoro," Alex said to her, his voice was a low rumble, vibrating against her skin. He didn't stop what he was doing though. His large hand, ca

    In the Master Bedroom, late at night...The house was currently quiet. The twins were currently in their room, asleep, very exhausted by their rampage from earlier on.Zara sat on the edge of the bed, brushing her hair after having her nightly bath routine. The balcony doors were open, letting in the cool night air.Alex came out of the bathroom, a towel slung low around his hips. He stopped to watch her, while the moonlight caught the silver Mark on her neck gently, the scar he had given her earlier when they mated.He walked over to where she was seated on the bed and knelt between her legs. He placed his hands on her thighs, while his thumbs traced small small circles gently on her skin."What are you thinking about babe?" he asked softly.Zara set the brush down. "Nothing serious, I was thinking about the day we met for the first time. At the assembly held at the Grand Hall in my college.” she said to him with a smile.Alex chuckled darkly. "The day you ran away from me first, wit
