Beth O'Leary The Wake Up Call

You called

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.

Monster Apocalypse - Waking up with Powers & 3 Monster Husbands

I never imagined my life would turn out this way. Waking up in a bed surrounded by a wolf, a dragon and a Minotaur, all claiming to be my mates, my three Monster Husbands! At first, I was chocked and utterly terrified. How could I possibly be connected to these powerful creatures and what happened to Max and my old world and why did my body felt strange all of a sudden, like it wasn’t my own? All these questions surged around in my head as I started to spent more time with my monsters. Little by little I began to see past their intimidating exteriors. They were kind, protective, and fiercely loyal. Slowly, I started to form bonds with each of them, realizing that they were not as monstrous as they appeared in the beginning. As we started navigating our new life together, I found myself falling for each of my husbands in different ways. Their love was unlike anything I had ever experienced before and they were so sweet as they helped me use my newly gained powers, to which I was still not used too. But then our happiness started to get threatened by outside forces, who were determined to tear us apart. And besides that, we also had to face our own fears and insecurities. To make matters even more complicated then it already was I got sick and then received the explosive news that changed all our lives, forever! I was carrying triplets, not knowing who the father was, as if trying to rebuild our ruined city wasn’t already hard enough, with danger lurking around every corner. Would we make it as a growing family, could I really be happy with my monster husbands and could they keep me and the babies save? And what about Max, who turned out to be alive and well and who has been stalking me for a while now, would I be able to cut him loose once and for all?
