LUCIAN

I should have been living in my happily ever after.

Katerina was mine at last, and she was willing to give me a chance to show her my love and commitment. From there, we should have been planning a wedding and making her home our home. I should have finally been at peace.

Unfortunately, that peace didn’t last. We spent the first week engrossed in each other. While she left for work during the day, I tidied up the house and repaired any broken items in her home. Her dripping kitchen sink, and the toilet that ran unless the handle was jiggled. All while cooking and tending to her basic needs, so that our evenings could be spent in bed.

Making love to her was the highlight of my day. She was luscious and generous. So fucking beautiful.

Over the two days she called the weekend, we went on a date in town, and I got to see more of her neighborhood. None of it felt like home, and the way the humans lived was strange.

I wasn’t sure how they felt purpose in their lives, or contentment. But I was willing to learn.

On Monday morning, some of the glow began to fade.

“Are you sure you want to stay home alone all day?” Katerina asked while she was picking up her keys to leave for work once more.

I nodded, that tight feeling in my gut returning at the reminder of how out of place I was. “Where else can I go? I can’t watch you work.”

“No, I guess not,” she mumbled. “That’d be a distraction. For me and the kids.” She paused. “But you can meet them at the school social Friday.”

“I’d like that.” I wanted to watch her with her students and get a taste of what she did all day without me.

“Great!” Her eyes lit up with excitement. “What are you going to do all day while I’m gone?”

“I’ll find something.” I always did.

She kissed my cheek. “I’ll be back before you know it.”

And then she was gone, and I was alone again. If I could find a purpose, then I might feel less bored and frustrated. Back in my home realm, I’d fly and patrol the land to make sure it was safe from our enemies. Or I’d train. There, I felt useful and needed. In the human realm I was nothing.

I had to look on the bright side, I had Katerina. I’d figure something out. This world was new to me. I couldn’t judge the place from living here for only one week. Settling in took time.

That’s what Dymitri would tell me. Just give it time.

When her car had disappeared from sight, the emptiness hit me like a solid blow to the gut. I looked about the house. How could I help her next?

My gaze landed on her front yard. The space had clearly been neglected for some time. The lawn was trimmed just enough to prove someone lived at the house. Her flowers looked awfully thirsty and were obviously struggling to survive.
