One of these isn't Alek and Epona but rather another woman. Bonus if you can guess which one.
Also, if you haven't noticed it yet, Dolph has had a crush on Fricka for forever but she just sees him as a friend with benefits and her second. *Second in command-zoned.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
51. Sport:
He ran through the woods in hot pursuit and she laughed over her shoulder at him. This was his favorite sport and the men in the village could take their hunting and put it where the sun didn't shine.
52. Deep in Thought:
Octavian was sitting at the table, untouched tea cup in one hand, chin resting in the other, deep in thought. She draped her arms around him and slid fingers down his chest.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"You." he smiled.
53. Keeping a Secret:
Alek knew the children were up to something. Their giggles and shared looks across the dinner table had been proof enough of that but he had never known either of them to be any good at keeping a secret from him. He was pleasantly surprised when they ran to the kitchen after the meal and returned carrying (between the two of them) a birthday cake.
54. Tower:
Dolph wanted to be her hero. He wanted to slay the dragons, kill the villain, storm the castle and break down the tower door to have her jump into his arms. She preferred doing it all herself.
55. Waiting:
She had been waiting for what seemed like forever. In reality it had only been a few months; but now he was home and as he slid off his horse, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. The waiting was over.
56. Danger Ahead:
As Laurie froze and glared from under dripping hair at the twins belly laughing on the floor at him, he decided that there needed to be a sign on their door that said 'Danger Ahead.'
57. Sacrifice:
Epona would never know how many times Alek sacrificed himself for her sake...to keep her safe from the evil of the world.
58. Kick in the Head:
Fricka had been dozing in front of the fire when Octavian had walked in, nose stuck in a book and kicked her in the head. She sank her teeth into his leg and down he tumbled, book and all.
59. No Way Out:
He searched every corner of the steel room, attacked the heavy door and screamed for his sister until his head ached. The Commander had been right...there was no way out.
