Morgan pov.
"I want to go see my sister." Rain tells me as I pour coffee into my travel mug. "She might want to see me after my heat." I almost agree but remember our visitors from yesterday and shake my head.
"You can't go, not now at least. I don't need another visit to discuss the liberties I let you take. Let's give it another two weeks. Maybe try calling her." If it weren't for our conversation this morning, I would understand his desire to see his sister but right now I'm too pissed at Torren to even want to see her, even if I did practically invite her to come back home. Not that she ever would.
"She won't answer my calls." Rain sighs, running a hand through his hair and then shaking his head. "It's okay, I understand. You have to get to work." He points to the clock that lets me know I should have left the house ten minutes ago. “I'll see you later, we'll do something fun." I promise as I lean up to kiss him. He pulls me into him, nipping at my lips and slips his tongue into my mouth. We kiss for longer than I should allow but he's addicting and when we pull back, I can see clear desire in his eyes. "Bye, Rain." He grins and slowly releases me from his arms, but not before placing a kiss on my head. I smile as I walk away, already thinking about what we could do tonight.
"Luca is in your office." Cade tells me as I walk pass him in the hallway. "He looks pissed." He warns me and I roll my eyes. He can join the damn club.
"I have work to do and you're intruding." I tell the Fairie as I enter my office, placing my things down on my desk and pulling out the identification watch schematics that I'm working on for the Gliss Sector. Every sector comes with its own challenges but at this point I feel the Vampires are just being extra with all their hidden abilities I have to make allowances for. He flares his iridescent wings and flutters over to me, hovering in the air in front of my desk.
"You're the one who dragged me into your family drama." He accuses me and I glare up at him.
"No, Torren is the one who dragged you into this, I'm the one kicking you out. Why the hell would you even agree to spy on me for my sister? Are you insane?" He stops fluttering, tucking his wings in as he takes a seat on one of the chairs in front of my desk.
"I wasn't spying. I was in Space for work and got to know her. She just wanted to make sure you were safe, which you're not going to be for long if you stay here." I roll my eyes at his words. "This is serious, Morgan. There is a war coming." "War is only coming if Sinclair decides to be stupid and the situation hasn't changed. This is getting a little redundant. My sister could have called me, she could have picked up the phone when I called her, or did she get that one from your handbook?" He grins.
"I admit, I should have answered your calls." I raise my eyebrow, and he sighs. "Oh, my sweet innocent little girl, you have no idea what's going on and now you've gone and found that wolf." He shakes his head like he's exhausted. "What's wrong with Rain?" I cross my arms over my chest, getting a little sick of everyone having a problem with him.
"Nothing is wrong with him. He's perfect. It's just bad timing, that's all." I sigh and give him a blank stare. "Anyway, I'm here because Isa wants to apologize for last night."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Then why isn't Isa here?" These damn creatures and their ego.
"She's busy with some things. Representing an entire sector is a lot of work, you know." I nod, looking down at my work.
"Yes, that's why she has to make unnecessary visits to my house when she could have just sent Court Marshals. I have work to do, Luca. If there is nothing else?" He sighs and lifts himself with his wings, hovering slightly above me. "You should be glad they didn't send the Marshals. Those brutes wouldn't have sat down for dinner. I'll answer the next time you call." He flies through the open balcony doors of my office and then disappears through a portal. I shake my head, getting back to the identity bracelet that I somehow need to equip with blocking Vampires to read humans minds when they're in the Bio-Glaze. I pull up the feature I used to keep the Faire's from turning invisible and look through the code to see if I can maybe use the same basic structure. I spend about half an hour working and just when I feel like I'm getting somewhere Margot and Amanda lets themselves into my office.
"I should keep myself on DND." I mutter before closing the file I'm working on since this isn't supposed to be told to the public until I've addressed all the safety concerns. "How can I help you?"

"The Commander needs us to go to Space and oversee the safeguarding for the start of the production of the AS21." I groan, feeling like slamming my head on my desk.
"I was just there. I approved the prototypes. I went through the system. It's flawless." Three hours of fine combing that system and still his sector can't do their jobs properly.
"Do you want to tell him that?" Amanda asks, knowing full well I will but I don't have the energy to get into another back and forth with anyone. Especially not the Commander. Not today.
"No, let's just go." I didactive my desk and grab my bag and coffee that I've only taken a few sips of, stepping through the portal Margot has opened for us. We make our way down the hallway to the operations room and I'm just about to enter behind my co-workers when a very familiar voice calls my name. I turn around, letting the door close behind me as I watch my sister walk up to me. She towers over me, even when I'm in two inch heals and she's in a pair of combat boots.
"I'm sorry." She says, her hazel orbs shining with an emotion I don't think I've seen since my mother died. Sadness. "I didn't mean to abandon you. I just... couldn't." I nod, knowing even saying sorry is a lot for her so I won't push her any further.
"Since when do you have tattoos?" She's always in long sleeves when I call her so seeing her rolled up sleeves and the colorful ink on her arms is a surprise for me. She gives me a bashful smile and rubs the back of her neck. "It's okay, Tor. I have to get to work. It was nice to see you in person." She nods and I step into the operations room. I can't wait for this day to end.
