Isi wondered how much of that was the real reason Rory was stalling their arrival there. It sounded like she was actually dreading that more than her grandmother. So she made sure she filled her tone with confidence: “The second you want to leave, we’ll leave Cherry.” She felt her relax a little.

They started walking towards the door of the Bnb. And after a few steps, sounding like she was trying to be detached, Rory added: “I also am not sure what being in that place will make me feel. I could end up hating it. The rain, the gloomy, the small minded people…”

She looked like she had something to reply, but it sure as hell wasn’t ‘𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘰’ so Isi hoped the silence would last. In some ways, it was better. A few seconds went by. She moved to slip her hand in the crook of Rory’s arm, looking for confirmation that she hadn’t pushed too far.

Isi felt indignation rise. She pointed a finger at Rory’s chest: “And you think I can’t handle 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵? I bet I’m much more odd than she is! And either way, trust me, nothing is going to 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 me away at this point! I love you, remember?” Rory crossed her arms on her chest.

Isidora untangled her fingers, trying to seem less sad than she really was. “And it’s fine.” Rory put a hand on her forehead “It’s not. You don’t get it. I would be proud to introduce you.” Heart flutters, hope blooming. “Then why?” “I don’t want her to scare you away. She’s… different.”

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 9h

Without looking, Isi knew her alpha’s eyes had narrowed. And yet, she didn’t want to look up. Her heart was heavy and her head full, but her mouth empty. Maybe it was obvious or maybe Rory read it on her face, because she answered her own question: “You think I don’t want her to meet you.”

060

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 9h

But Isi wasn’t really listening anymore. She ran a hand through her hair to hide her face for a second. “Sure. We’ll do what you want. I get it.” Rory paused the hand movements she’d been doing when trying to convince her. A short silence cut the air between them. “What do you get exactly?”

060

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 9h

“I’ve never been that close to her anyway!” Isidora let her head drop. So now, not only were they not moving forward anymore, but they were actively going back on plans they’d made… Rory kept talking, mentioning Voan’s assignment and the other things they could be doing instead.

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 9h

“Why are we taking the long way up the coast? We would have been at your grandmother’s later tonight if we’d taken the highway.” “It wouldn’t have been half as nice of a ride.” “But that’s not the reason you chose it.” Isi could feel it. Rory played with her pocket. “What if we skipped it?”

160

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 10h

The alpha jumped off the bike too fast, mumbling something about this Bnb being where they’d stay the night. “Wait.” Isi threw a leg over their ride. “Can we pause for a second? I feel like we need to talk.” Rory nodded, keeping her eyes on anything but her. “Sure. What is it?”

050

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 10h

For an instant, Isidora’s demons reared up, forcing her to wonder if Rory was imagining a life with Lux, and the children they could have given her. By the time she’d shaken the thought, the bike engine was back on and they were on the road. They didn’t stop again until the evening.

040

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 10h

The scene that unfolded was adorable, the two parents playing along to a degree. But Isi couldn’t see what had pulled Rory’s attention and made all her muscles tense like this. Until she focused on the one who’s name appeared to be Dani. Then, she saw it. They looked so much like... Lux.

150

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 10h

They stopped in town for a quick lunch. Stuffing their faces with the local specialty before hopping on the bike again. And for a few seconds, Rory stilled. Isi followed her gaze to the bench nearby and the small boy who’d just pretended he was falling to scare his parent.

150

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 10h

“Does she know?” They climbed up on the bike. “Not yet. Wren’s senses aren’t as acute as mine. But they’ll know soon enough.” A spear of envy went through Isi. Yet she pushed it away easily, focusing on the joy she was feeling knowing this amazing family would count one more person soon.

060

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 11h

The next morning, as the younger children were still asleep, Isi and Rory left the house. “You think they’ll manage without us?” A smirk quirked Rory’s lips. “Probably. Although six kids is going to be a lot.” “Six?” Isi repeated, counting mentally. “There’s only five.” A short silence. “No?!”

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 11h

The birthday celebration was even louder than the day had been. And yet, Isi’s brain was quiet. This wasn’t exactly the same thing as having a pack around. This was a family composed mostly of young people, not of fumbling wolves. Isi wondered if she was too greedy for wanting both.

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 11h

“So you’re not going to investigate this ‘cult’ more?” Astrid wondered out loud. Rory chuckled. “A cult in the desert, involving celebrities and weird drugs? I’m not kidding myself into thinking I’m the best person for the job. I’ll happily leave it to the pros! The cool spies are on the case.”

070

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 11h

While Rory helped Astrid and her dads set up the last few things that were still missing in the dependence they’d build for her, Isidora taught the rest of the family some yoga poses. It was peaceful, even when loud.

040

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 11h

The day went by fast. Isi soaked in all the family vibes she could. The atmosphere was so different to the house she’d grown up in, she couldn’t help wanting to be a part of it. Homework, baking cake for the birthday, dancing just because the music was playing in the background…

“Anything new on your side?” Rory asked Wren. He shook his head. “Nope, last night all the kids were asking where you were. It’s going to be hell tomorrow. That’s still the plan, right?” “Of course. Astrid asked us to stay for her birthday, I wouldn’t dream of disappointing your first born.”

“Don’t you agree?” Rory addressed Isi next, looking unsure if she’d get support or resistance. They hadn’t discussed it the night before. Or that morning, their minds both turned to the dream. “I do.” She also knew that it must have been nice for her alpha not to be in charge. For once.

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵? Rory’s voice cut in, echoing Isi’s thoughts: “And that’s new how? Everything we do is risky.” Kaye turned to her, shrugging a little. She didn’t disagree. “And we need powerful allies. Voan qualifies.”

080

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“If it’s the second option, I’m sure she’s moving her pieces on the chess board so that her and her hunters escape unscathed. Which means, either way, it’ll be very risky for you to accomplish what she needs you to do.” Isidora knew she was expected to respond to this. But she didn’t know how.

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Isi’s eyes widened and he explained a bit more: “Not like this, not in such an obvious way. So if she’s ready to go all in like this now… either the stakes are 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 high.” It looked like he didn’t want to speak the rest out loud. Kaye must have picked up on it: “Or we’re losing.”

290

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

“No” Wren answered without hesitation. But then, the two of them shared a look. Isi tried her best not to fidget, but she did raise an eyebrow when the wolf turned back to her. “It’s unsettling that she’d ask for help in the first place. Mostly because Voan doesn’t get involved often.”

180

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

After a good shower and a couple of cups of coffee, Isi had caught Wren and Kaye up on what had happened at Voan’s. Both of them stayed silent for a little longer than she’d anticipated. “Is there something wrong with us agreeing to help her?”

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Rory just nodded. “I’m fine.” The lie was blatant. And yet, Isi couldn’t tell how she would feel if someone witnessed one of her nightmares first hand. A few years ago, she would have inquired more, pushed the topic. But she didn’t insist and just started untying her bonnet as Rory got up.

290

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

At once, each of them reached a hand out to the other. Isi’s settling on a shoulder, trying to communicate her support, while Rory’s fingers trailed up her forearm, maybe trying to ground her in the real. She did that after her flashbacks sometimes. Isi brought their faces close: “Are you alright?”

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Silence stretched for a while. Isi didn’t want to be the first one to bring it up, but… the pattern had been clear. All the kids or young people Rory had tried to care for, calling for help in one way or another. So who was that boy? Did he fit in the pattern? “Sorry.” Rory sat up. “It’s okay.”

190

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Rory woke up the moment she laid eyes on him. Isi felt the dream dissolve around her. Sharing dreams was common for them now, but they’d never ended up in the other’s nightmares. Her eyes finally open, she pushed the covers off. The ambient warmth and the lingering dread laced together.

170

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Nothing was happening to Ade. Or Ender. Or Jake. This was nothing more than a nightmare. Rory didn’t slow as Isi said so out loud, though. In fact, she ran even faster when another sound rang out. A gasp, this time. When a young boy was revealed, Isidora tripped. Who was this?

190

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

She picked up the pace, her instinct telling her who that voice belonged to immediately. Adelyn. She’d started thinking of herself as partly responsible for the young woman after all this time. She wouldn’t let anything happen to her. It took her a while to remember where they were.

190

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Had she been awake, she’d have heard the short groan Rory let out right as she caught sight of Ender inside the dream. He looked so lonely. So incredibly lost. Isi felt her heart squeeze when yet another sound reached them. A shriek. Crystal clear this time.

180

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Running after someone in their dream was bound to be hard, but as they headed to a shadow between rocks, Isidora tried to reach Rory’s hand. And failed. Again, and again. If only they could touch, maybe it would slow the nightmare down. Give them a little clarity.

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Her eyebrows had little time to frown, wondering if something was happening to Jake out in the real world, before she spotted her partner running towards another sound. A faint sob, clearly from a small child. Isi didn’t hesitate to follow, leaving Jacob’s wolf behind.

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Only to end up in the middle of Rory’s dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare… The atmosphere was stuffy, the water Isi could feel under her feet frozen solid. She’d known it wasn’t Rory howling as she’d learned to recognise her voice even in that. But she hadn’t expected to recognize the wolf. Jacob?

1100

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yet just before opening her eyes, she felt a tug. Back where she came from. Rory. Dream. Distress. Fear. Howling. Isi let herself fall back to sleep, following the current that she knew would lead her to her partner.

090

Lyaenidae @lyaenidae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Their night had been too short. After coming back from Voan’s Strangerville house in the early hours of the morning, Isi and Rory allowed themselves a lie in. Isi started waking up slowly, the desert sun had no respect for slumber.

Then, without a look in her direction or a hesitation, she took a step forward. “We’ll do it.” Voan nodded, looking pleased. “Good. But please make sure to go see your grandmother first. I’m not in a rush and I would have kicked up a fuss had someone skipped my first hundredth birthday.”

And since it's bi-visibility day, let me just remind everyone that just because we're in a relationship doesn't mean we stop being bi 😌 It doesn't go away, even when we feel isolated or erased 🏳️‍🌈
