I look down at the address given to me by the nurse at the donor bank. It was a miracle that she empathized with my sob story and decided to give me the information of Jasmine’s biological father. Now I’m here, sitting in my car, outside of his apartment building. Waiting. Hoping that things go right for Jasmine. My baby is getting fussy. It’s my fault. I should have gone up there a while ago, but I lost my nerve, and when I saw him leaving, I was even relieved that I didn’t have to face the music right away. Now, we’ve been sitting here for over three hours, and my little one is hungry. “It’s okay, baby, mommy’s coming.” I coo softly, as I sit back into my seat and try to breastfeed. Yes, I said try, because at this point that is all that I can do. I’ve not had the money for a decent meal in days, my savings dwindling to hardly anything. I lost my cell service two weeks ago and decided that using what is left for food and gas is more important than speaking to anyone right now. Even Stephanie, my best friend. She’s always too busy anyway. Better me focus on this little one and make sure she’s okay than anything else. I’m hoping the answer to my prayers will be the man that I am waiting for to return home. I’ve given Jasmine as much milk as I can and fortunately, it’s enough for the time being. I lull her to sleep, and recline my seat. “It’s okay, baby. Everything will be okay. Mommy will make sure of it. Hopefully, daddy will too,” She whispered. “Now…we just have to wait.” When Jaafar, a successful businessman, least expects it, a mysterious woman named Journee arrives at his doorstep with a shocking secret: a baby girl they share. Initially resistant, Jaafar is drawn into a world of love, responsibility, and unexpected passion. As they navigate the complexities of their newfound family, a love story blossoms, challenging their preconceived notions and forcing them to confront their pasts and embrace an uncertain future.

The trip through the portal to Ethra is extremely draining for first-timers, usually, draining them unconscious. It\'s when Mina awakens alone in a dark Amthirion saturated cell, that she realizes the long-awaited trip to Ethra will not be as welcoming as originally assumed. My feet carried me as far away from the bar as could be managed. It was only when my heels scraped against the smooth stone behind me that I realized I had backed away as far as I could. Why...why was this fear taking hold of me? Why could I not fight it? There was something painfully familiar about the theme of this place that burned a hole through my will to push past my fright. When I closed my eyes to push out the anxiety, a flash of my past pulsed through my mind’s eye. There was a cell, dank and smelly-the floors saturated with water that had just been used on me with a power washing hose. “Alright, Frost,” I heard so clearly as if I was there...as if this wasn’t a walking memory in the deep recesses of my mind forcing me to remember my torture-this voice not to be confused with the one that I had not a moment ago heard greeting me. “No!” I exclaimed frightfully, gripping my hair panic-stricken. The full details of my past life had never been completely delved into, but the scars of the past would still find their way to the forefront at times in small traumatic...and painful memory flashes. “I don’t-I don’t want to see this again!” “You are a troubled one,” The man said at the other side of the bar. I gathered my composure enough to return attention to the current situation at hand-to this male standing in the dark before me as opposed to what I knew to be a terrible reminder of a treacherous memory. “What...what do you want?” I managed to finally spit out. The man standing before the bars, his eyes aglow in teal blue stared at me in eerily long silence before a dry chuckle barely parted his lips. “I think I’d be more inclined to ask you this question, my pretty little femlin.” Femlin? I had never before heard such a term. I could only assume that this was a term from Ethra. Suddenly, I wished that I had further ventured into the memories that I had declined to explore when offered by Keyvah. Wait! Keyvah! Amorah! Max! Everyone! Where had they gone!?

An odd feeling of anxiety swept over her while she sat there under the large, old Ash tree; her odd colored eyes skimming through the words written across the pages of her novel robotically, while her mind was undoubtedly elsewhere.

They never really were; always considered more so a side-effect of whenever she decided to make the reckless decision to neglect her more primal needs. A sudden overbearing shadow, aside that of her favorite beautiful tree, hovered in the remaining light that the tree captured of the sun, averting her attention but not her gaze. Afterall, she already knew who the statuesque guy was that was standing before her. "Hello, brother." She greeted.

It also granted me pause to find that this chill did not start until I made my appearance to this place.

***Book 1 in Children of the Sun & Moon Series*** What was made to be a safe haven... turned into her prison... Only a moment later, did Warren find something of a dark velvet-like hue, lying amidst a bushel of broken sticks and patchy grass, only slightly covered in the light snow. The alpha edged closer to the near violet fabric when he noticed it to be a blanket. Still, however, there was no movement, not even a cry. Warren cursed under his breath, as he came upon the blanket, thinking that something or someone had gotten to it before he had. It was only when he took a step closer, that he saw the small hand that reached out from the soft velvet violet blanket with a gold K embroidered upon each side of it. He bent down to get a closer look, relieved that the infant was alright, but still hesitant in making a decision of what he should do with the little human......
