The primal urge to obsessively access your uni portal to see if your classes have been released, so you can read the syllabi thirty-seven times before class next week.

”I’ll text you if I decide to go out, but I should actually look at the case file and figure out what is going on,” she said.

Cassi pulled back from Nic and guided him over to her bed. She had him sit before she grabbed a candle to light.

”So, I should be able to heal it enough where you can shower without covering it, but pat your arm dry; don’t rub at it. Once you are out of the shower I’ll cover it in second-skin so you won’t have to worry about it while you are at work.”

”You could do both, or finish that book, or find a new book to read,” Caden said. ”Or writing down your list of antiquities that you wouldn’t mind parting with or giving to a museum on loan.”

”Well, I am injured. Granted, the injury would draw the redcaps to me, but that could be dangerous. Maybe I should stay in,” Cassi said, smiling at Nic. She really wasn’t the best person to tell Nic he needed to go to work.

”I do, but I’m having more fun with you,” Caden said and kissed Nero’s cheek before he let them go. He sighed and looked at his desk. ”How about two hour of work, and then we take a break,” he said and looked back at Nero, grinning.

Avery raised an eyebrow in response to Kimiko. ”Rather defensive thone you have there, Kiki. Maybe I should make sure,” he said, ready to move his hands to her feet.

”Why? Are you jealous?” he asked, taunting her.

Cassiopeia huffed a laugh, reaching to grab Nic’s hand, pulling it back to her cheek for her to lean into his touch.

”He is rather excessive with his gift giving. But he likes doing that sort of thing for his friends,” she added. Cassi kissed her palm and looked at Nic. ”I should heal your arm so you can shower and get to work.”

Caden chuckled through the kiss, a smile on his face even after the kiss ended.

”I’ve never shied away from expressing my emotions,” Caden said simply. He brushed his thumb along their cheek before smiling crookedly.

Caden picked up Nero’s hand and bowed at the waist, lifting their hand to his lips and kissing the back of it before speaking. ”Whatever my little imp desires,” he said, looking at Nero through thick lashes.

Avery grabbed Kimiko's ankles in his hands when she started to pull away. His touch was light, careful of the bones so as not to pinch but she was effectively trapped for the moment. Avery glanced from her feet to her face, curiosity mixed with amusement.

"In my experience, women only turn down a foot massage because they are ticklish. Kimiko, you wouldn't happen to be ticklish, would you?"

Cassiopeia sniffed while Nic wiped the tears from her face. She took deep breaths, working on settling her mind and her heart. Nic's question however, stopped her heart all together. She looked away from Nic suddenly feeling defeated.

Choices. It always came down to the choices one made for themselves, and Cassi had chosen to avenge her family a long time ago. But achieving that would mean hurting and possibly losing Caden. Cassi had another choice to make.

"No fair," she mumbled. Of course she couldn't choose between Caden and Nic. She didn't even want to think of the scenario that might require such a choice.

Caden titled his head lower, making it easier for Nero to hold their face. He looked into their eyes, switching back and forth to take in the richness of the hazel and the brightness of the blue.

"I am more than okay, which doesn't help you I am sure, but this discovery... It's further proof that I've always been searching for you."

”At this present moment? No. In the future? Definitely,” Avery chuckled. He stuck his tongue out at her before moving to massage her feet. ”Brat,” he said while he untied her shoes and took off her socks.

”I think you underestimate how cruel I can be,” she whispered.

After she lost everything, she had floated through her days in a haze, a mixture of hate and sadness had coursed through her veins in a deadly combination. When she started working to save other witches, she didn't give a second thought to eviscerating the villages. Women, children. They were all the same to her. Cruel, heartless monsters that she needed to put down. At some point she had become the monster she needed to take down.

Cassiopeia watched Nic's face while she moved her finger. His kindness didn't help the lead weight in her stomach, nor the gentleness of his touch. The tears continued to fall down Cassi's face, coming in earnest because of the understanding Nic was showing her. At the mention of him dying one day, Cassi wrapped her arms around Nic and buried her face in his chest.

”Don't talk like that. You're going to outlive me,” she mumbled into his chest. Cassiopeia held on to Nic for a long time, seeking comfort in his hold. She sighed after pulling back some time later.

”I know you're trying to help, Nic, and I love you for that, but I don't know how to separate Caden from this. It sounds stupid, but it feels like he's choosing Nero over me.”

Caden held Nero close, rubbing their back while they both processed this newly found information. It was only further confirmation that Nero was waiting for Caden. That Caden had been searching for them unconsciously.

”Are you okay?” Caden asked after some time had passed.

”Nic don't. Don't apologize to me for being so horrible to you.” Cassi held her injured hand with her other hand, keeping it away from Nic. She didn't want him to care for her, not after she tried to hurt him with her words.

”I didn't mean what I said. I was just mad but that's still no excuse. I shouldn't have said that to you.” The tears were falling in earnest now as she stared at Nic, hoping he'd forgive her even though she didn't deserve it.

”How do I have this?” Caden looked at the case before he pulled Nero into a hug.

”I've always been fascinated with weaponry. It was one of the first things I started to collect in earnest aside from knowledge. I have several swords from the thirteenth century but this one always stood out to me. I wanted to know who A.W. and L.W. were. I never thought it would belong to my mate.”

Avery grinned and relaxed his hand back onto Kimiko’s calves and shins. ”Yes you are, and always make sure to be on the lookout for heffalumps and woozles,” Avery said, winking at Kimiko. He continued his work of massaging her legs.

”We’ll get everything worked out,” he said, confident in himself and in Kimiko.

The sound of Nic’s voice is distant, despite being on the other side of the door. Cassi stood in the middle of her bedroom, staring at the door, willing Nic to just walk inside. She looked down at her bandaged finger and nodded before remembering Nic couldn’t see her.

”I think so…You can come in,” she said, swallowing past the lump in her throat that suddenly formed. She could feel her eyes starting to prick, and she didn’t really want to cry in front of Nic again.

Caden can feel Nero trembling, and wraps his other hand around Nero’s. He squeezed Nero’s hands and looked back at the glass case.

”I don’t believe in coincidences.” Caden looked back at Nero and drew their face up to look at him. ”We don’t have to do anything about it now, but I believe you are the rightful owner of that sword, Nero.”

Avery’s hands stilled on Kimiko’s legs. He looked at her, running a hand up her leg and squeezing the back of her thigh.

”Kiki, you’re stronger than you think. You can’t stay up all night,” he gently scolded her.



Cassiopeia Claire Alistair

Cassiopeia sat on the floor of her room, crying and squeezing her hand with the towel to slow the bleeding until no more tears fell. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

She didn’t mean what she said about Nic’s family. She was glad Ren was still alive, and maybe Nic was right about letting go and moving on, but Cassi couldn’t bring herself to do it. She was all that was left of her family. If she let them go, where did that leave her?

Cassi slowly got to her feet and walked into her bathroom. She rummaged around, looking for bandages for her finger.

She felt suddenly drained, wanting nothing more than to apologize to Nic and crawl into her bed. But she couldn’t bring herself to leave her room, even after she had her finger bandaged.

Caden’s favourite collection had always been his swords and other old weapons. It was the only thing he travelled with when he moved homes and the only thing he permanently kept in his personal collection. He knew every sword intimately. So when Nero mentioned the initial, Caden knew exactly what sword they were talking about.

”Komm mit mir.” Caden grabbed a robe from the back of the door and wrapped Nero in it before taking their hand. He pulled them along to his study, where his collection of swords sat in glass cases.

The sounds of demolition and construction filled the normally silent house, but Caden ignored it all. He pulled Nero into his study and shut the door behind them. Once the door shut, the sounds of renovating vanished. Caden walked over to one of the glass cases where three swords sat in a series. It was a progression of German swords and their evolution, the one on the bottom being one of the oldest and the top the newest. Caden looked at the sword on the bottom, the engraved ‘W’ suddenly standing out sharply, even though it had faded over time.

”Ist es das?”

Avery chuckled, looking back at Kimiko’s legs and applied more pressure to his touch. He started to gently massage her legs, his eyes drifting up to her tattoo again as he spoke.

”I think you read my mind first, then. I wanted to do this as soon as I pulled you closer.” His fingers and thumb moved along the sides of her shin bone, massaging out the smaller muscles and tendons in her leg that were responsible for things like shin splits and ankle mobility.

”I’m sure there is something more exciting for you to do than cook for me while I run around in the forest scarring squirrels.”

Cassiopeia filled the sink with water. The steam curled around the tap as she filled it and dumped dishes into the water angrily. She shut the water off and rested her hands on the side of the sink.

”Closure? You think I want closure for what happened to my family? For watching them be slaughtered in front of me? No Nic, I want revenge and the one person, the one thing I can get that from, is mated to my best friend. And even after finding out, he’s still with them, doing goddess knows what while I’m here reliving the worst day of my life over and over and over again.” She plunged her hand into the sink to scrub furiously at something but forgot there was a knife.

Cassi hissed in shock more than pain, pulling her hand out of the water and staring at the cut on her finger. It wasn’t a horrible cut, but it was deep enough to bleed and drip into the water. Cassi's demeanour shifted as she stared at her hand, an eerie sort of calm washing over her. Her voice took on a melodic ancient tone, one that was older than her body's twenty-seven winters.

”Have you ever read the play Macbeth? The one with the witches and the Lady who murdered the king with her husband? She’s plagued with nightmares about the murder and starts to obsessively rub her hands to get the blood off them, even though there is no blood. ‘Out, damned spot; out, I say!—One, two: why then, ’tis time to do’t. Hell is murky’,” she quoted.

”I rarely slept after that night, but when the exhaustion would claim me, I would have nightmares. I would wake up screaming, trying to scrub their blood off my skin. For years, I thought I killed them all because I broke off the engagement. I was never the type to want to kill myself, but I didn’t want to live anymore, either. What was the point? I had nothing left. Then, more villages were being wiped clean of witches. The final sweep of the witch trials. More demons were coming to claim souls. I started dabbling in blood magic, and I saved as many people as I could. I saved Caden’s family and Caden, and now I have a chance to put the nightmares to rest, and he’s with the demon that could end that for me. And you want me just to let it all go?”

Cassi looked up from her bleeding hand and stared at Nic. A blue fire burned in her eyes. The colour of the hottest flame with the deepest burn.

”I tracked the thing that killed your mother and took your father. I saved your father and gave you back a piece of your family. I will never get mine back.”

Cassi grabbed a towel, wrapped her hand, and left the kitchen. She took the stairs and headed for her bedroom. She shut the door and slid to the floor before she started to cry.

”Meine Schwertsammlung. Ich habe Stücke aus Großbritannien, aber auch aus Deutschland. In einige von ihnen sind Zaubersprüche oder Initialen eingraviert. Einige sind schlicht. Erinnern Sie sich an das Schwert, das Sie benutzt haben? Oder die deines Vaters?”

From day one Nero had been drawn to those swords, and now Caden was wondering if there really had been a reason behind the little imp’s penchant for sharp, shiny things.

Avery smirked as he watched Kimiko’s eyes close because of his touch. He loved that he could have an effect like this on her. Stealing his courage, Avery moved his other hand and pulled Kimiko’s other leg onto her lap. She was eating her bowl of fruit now, anyway. She could be more relaxed. He started rubbing her legs with his hand again before answering her question.

”Steak usually. Rare, but still warm. Over-buttered and spiced potatoes, cornbread, ribs, asparagus. Pie,” Avery said with a smile.

Cassiopeia’s focus remained on the empty plates while Nic spoke, but she wasn’t really seeing them. She ripped her hand out of his when Nic took it and stood. She gathered up the plates and set them with a clatter into the sink.

”I really don’t care, and he really has no business knowing anything about my life anymore. Besides, I thought you wanted us to do our own thing in Montana.”

Caden opened the door and turned to look at Nero. ”If I remember, you didn’t let your size stop you from trying to become a knight. If you can wield a sword, you can read a thirteen-century book.”

Caden’s eyes shifted, and he looked behind him, falling silent. He looked slowly back at Nero. ”Where did you do your knight training?”
