Live in the moment. Enjoy the comfort. Savor the delectably squishy mattress at her back, and the chilly breeze blowing in. These luxuries deserved to be cherished. The root of her latest set of problems. The Otherkin Council. And she had to at least make the effort to play nicely until she left the walls of Caldera Grove. She was just as much on their good side as they were hers.
But, it was by their good graces she and the humans had been allowed within the boundaries of Caldera Grove, and she had to cooperate, much as it annoyed her to do so. Lucian must not have heard her grumbling. Can I come in? She wanted to say no. His very presence reminded her of the duty she must perform, and all she wanted to do at that moment was forget her troubles.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Mira reluctantly tossed aside her blanket and stood. Lucian pushed the door open but did not step inside. She could see the words forming, but Lucian did not speak them. Nothing about this place was luxurious to him, nor was he happy with their situation. His posture might have looked relaxed, but she saw past the ruse to the Elite within him, rising to the surface. The pampered prince throwing a temper tantrum, but desperately trying to hide it.
Only allowed to leave with your escort. Speaking of that, we should head to our meeting about our impending death. The Council is waiting. His eyes narrowed slightly, forming tiny creases at the corners.
Mira shook her head. Of course she was not ready to die, but there was no point in acknowledging those fears. Enjoy the ride and make the trip worthwhile.

Four years have passed since I left home, my parents, and my brother Asher behind — since I shut out my past. And Erin. Four years since I last saw her, since I heard her voice and held her in my arms.
No big surprise. I carry the dark inside me. No commitments; no promises and no happy endings. This is book 2 in the Inked Brotherhood series which started with Asher. It is a stand-alone work. No cliffhanger. Barnes and Noble. I came here to talk. His mouth flattens and he shoves his fingers through his unruly hair.
Those broad shoulders roll in a shrug. No way. Where were you, for chrissakes? I let go of him and take a faltering step back. Why did you leave instead of talking this out? Maybe he hears it because he reaches for me and trails his thumb down the line of my jaw. The gesture stills me completely as his dark eyes nail me.
I see sadness there, and fear. What is he afraid of? Left everyone and everything and nobody knew where you were. God, I was so worried. I reach up and slide my hand over his chest. Tell me why you left. I want to bang my fist on his chest and slap his face. My fingers curl against the soft fabric of his T-shirt, and I feel his muscles clench underneath. Shocked into silence, I stare at him. His gaze is moving over my body, a hot, silky glide that steals my breath.
His pupils are dilated, making his eyes look black. His hand hooks around my back, pressing me to his body and he bends his head toward me, dark hair falling in his eyes. His mouth descends on mine, sealing the words inside. The world falls away with a murmur as he kisses me. I gasp and his tongue pushes inside, tangling with mine. He licks at my mouth, and he tastes so good—like dark chocolate and pepper. I want more. I slide my arms around his hips and kiss him back. His chest vibrates against me as he moans and then he drags me closer, until my breasts are crushed against his firm abs.
His smell, his taste, the feel of his muscular body, it sends waves of scalding heat over my skin, through me, tightening the tips of my breasts, starting a pulse between my legs. I cling to him as I burn from the inside out; I desperately need him—need to feel him around me, against me, inside me.

I am not my skills. I am not how I look like. My name is Decca Tenderstone. I live in a future America where teenagers are ranked on a scale from 1 to 10 on graduation day. There has never been a Those below the rank of 5 are considered Monsters, a liability to society. The system says I am a Monster.
I will not let them kill me. I will survive. Blanket stating that it was illegal is not exactly accurate. If you accept wikipedia as a starting point, see for some starts on the history of legality of polygamy relative to the Church.
If you already know that, I think it a little disingenuous of you to hold up the illegality as a doctrinal issue. I have three great-grandfathers who were polygamous. Polygamy, if allowed to remain elevated above other principles, could well have proved too much for the Church members to handle. Charity is more important that performing miracles. Repentance is more important than discipline. Faith in Jesus is more important than faith in any one principle. Members make mistakes.
Even when we are convinced we are following the Holy Spirit, we often get too ambitious in one thing and let something else slip. Or it might include the husband failing to reassure one or the other wife about his feelings. Many polygamous families misunderstood the prerogative of the first wife, and thought there was some importance to establishing one wife as the preferred wife, when we are all supposed to be equal before God.
And, yet, God could not simply immediately dissolve every marriage in which someone made such mistakes. I spent some time trying to leave the Church, but the Lord would not let me.
The reasons are not important. Not if you want to be ready to meet the source of all truth at the end of the journey. My final struggle with cognitive dissonance took just over a month, but with hindsight I now recognise it was happening over many years, I was just in denial. I now recognise that I believed in the God of the Gaps. My brother, an ex-Mormon who I treated as an apostate, kept subtly asking me questions to encourage me to use my rational brain.
Eventually, as is illustrated by the metaphor of questions put on a shelf, my own shelf fell off the wall. With each new uncomfortable fact I renewed my determination to prove the Church was true by further research. I have a good eight hours worth of translating to do today, and another eight tomorrow, and I need to take my daughter to the docomo shop to look at phones.
And I find the same third option that Tyler seems not to be considering, which I mentioned in my first post here: If Church leaders had to give up being human to be Church leaders, I wonder that there would be any purpose in having the Church at all. Sometimes I miss west Texas, where I grew up mostly barefoot, except for school and work.
