"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

Summary
Shane and Ilya have been married for 6 years with 3 kids, what seems like a picture perfect family actually hides a more sinister truth.
-
“You are not alone, you have me and your children, what more could you want?” Ilya said softly. “The world can be cruel, especially in my line of work. If I let you and the kids outside, you become targets. I keep you here for your safety, and because I love you.” Ilya placed a kiss on Shane’s forehead.
“You trapped me,” Shane whispered.
Ilya’s gaze changed, his face hardened. His heavy scent flared with suffocating waves of cedarwood and leather. Yet, he didn’t argue, he let his scent do the work. As the waves of intimidating Alpha scent flooded the bedroom, Shane could feel his inner omega biology washing over him, trying to force him to submit to his Alpha.
“I saved you, everything I do is for you and our children.” Ilya corrected him softly.

Summary
“I suppose it’s smart of you to not trust a stranger, but I keep my word, crow.”
Rook skillfully shifted to grip the feather in his talons so he could speak. “Rook,” he corrected.
“Is this supposed to mean something to me?” the man asked, starting to look impatient.
“Ca-crow. Rrr-Rook,” he repeated firmly.
Rasmodius’ face lit up in amusement. “Oh my apologies,” he said, not very apologetically. “I will make note of your name should I have need of you again."
Rasmodius did not need anyone. He was satisfied in isolation, stone walls built up around his heart like a fortress.
And Rook the crow was a wrecking ball.
