"I'm going to throw up" My stomach is in knots as we pull up to Harry family gathering.
"Relax. They are going to love you." Harry chuckles.
"I'm going to trip or say something stupid." I cover my face trying not to freak out.
"You always say stupid stuff" Harry teases me. I glare at him rolling my eyes.
"Harry I swear-" Harry cuts me off by pressing his lips to mine. I smile against his lips.
"I hate you" I mumble with a huge grin across my face.
"And I hate you" he smiles. His dimples showing. I rest my hand on his cheek running my thumb across his cheek.
"It will be okay, I promise." His smile makes me relax a little. I nod slightly.
"My mum might freak a little. I haven't seen her in a while." Harry says stepping out of the car.
"Wait you didn't tell her we were coming!" My panic sets in again. Fuck Harry.
"Chill the fuck out women. She won't burn us like we are witches. It will be okay." Harry laces his fingers in mine warming my hand.
"You just cursed at me Mr. Styles and I do not fucking appreciate it." I stick my tongue out at him like a five year old.
"Well to fucking bad Mrs. Ray." Harry repeats my action and sticks his tongue out making me giggle.
"I love that sound" Harry whispers. I don't think he meant for me to hear so I just smile slightly at his comment. We walk up to the front door. Harry debates to knock or not before he just decides to walk in. A room full of people direct their attention towards us making me nervous.
"Harry!" A women with black hair stands up running over to him wrapping her arms around him. Harry still keeps his hand firmly in mine, only hugging her with one arm.

"Hi mum" Harry looks slightly uncomfortable in the hug. A small giggle falls from me as Harry makes a face like he is running out of air.
"Oh my! Where are my manners? Who is this lovely lady?" His mum wraps her arms around me smiling. I disconnect from him so I can fully hug her. One of us has to be polite. Harry pouts at my action.
"Uh this is my- um Ava" Harry stumbles.
"Well Harry's Ava. I'm Anne" she hugs me once more with a large smile on her face that I return. A younger girl maybe a few years older than me walks over hugging Harry. I ignore the jealousy in the pit of my stomach. They are probably related.
"Hey gem" Harry mumbles into her shoulder.
"Gem this Ava. Ava this is Gemma" Harry introduces us. She smiles wrapping her arms around me. After she stands back by their mother Harry's arm wraps around my waist.
"Ava come on Dear, let's let them catch up" Anne takes my hand making Harry and I disconnect as she drags me away. I look back at Harry only to see him chuckling.

"So you and my son aye?" Anne hits her hip against mine making me smile.
"We aren't like- I don't know what we like are." I sigh.
"You are the first girl he has ever brought home. That has to mean something right?" Her eyes are bright and remind me of Harry. Why hasn't Harry brought any girls home? Why am I the first to meet his family when aren't even dating?
"Yeah. I guess you're right." I nod agreeing. Two arms wrap around me making an involuntary smile spread across my face. Harry's face finds my neck his breath tickling me.

"Stop" I giggle. My cheek flushes as I realize Harry's mother is here.
"What is my mum right about?" Harry ask putting his head up, but keeping his arms around me.
"Oh we were just talking about how unmanly you were. I couldn't help but agree." Twisting my body so I can look up at Harry.
"Well this has been a good visit. I think it's time to go." Harry's arms tighten around me as he picks me up. My smile widens us both in laughter.
"Put me downnnn!" Harry smiles and starts spinning.
"Nope. Not until I get a kiss" Harry says the last part softer since his mum is in the same room.
"Guess you are carrying me around all day." I wrap my arms around his neck sighing.
"I'm heavy so you will adventually have to put me down." Harry and I are in our own little world. I have forgotten the fact his mother is the same room as us.
"Baby I lift. I'm pretty sure I can carry your big butt around." Harry smile is wide as he tries to be serious.My mouth goes a gape. My hand connecting with his shoulder.
"Harry was that a fat joke?" I'm trying to be mad but I honestly can't be.
"That was a big butt joke." I pout my lip.
" You're beautiful babe" Harry mumbles pecking his lips up over dramatically. I giggle before pressing mine to his and quickly pulling away teasing him.
-
The day is filled with my meeting Harry's aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and everyone you could think of. I'm a bit over whelmed by all the names. We are currently sitting around the large living room Harry's large hand in mine. He is drawing small circles on the back of my hand soothing me. Harry's baby cousin run over to me, I think her name is Emma.
"Hi!" She says loudly making me laughing slightly.
"Hello" She crawls up on my lap making herself comfortable. Children are so straight forward. They are such a weird species.
"I like your dress" she mumbles laying her head on my shoulder.
"I like yours as well." She giggles wrapping both her small arms around my neck.
"You guys are holding hands" She points to Harry and my hand intertwined. Harry grip slightly tightens afraid I will break it now somebody brought attention to it.
"So are you guys like a thing?" Mark says, Harry's cousin, I don't think he really likes me. When we met I smiled at him and he just shrugged at me and walked away.
"Shut up Mark." Harry says sternly.
"What? No reason in getting to know her when is probably just another whore you will fuck and dump." Mark snaps. I remove Emma from me placing her in my spot. I'm sitting here and listening to his shit.
"You can't take the truth?" Mark laughs.
"No. Trust me I can take the fucking truth, but I don't care if you are his family. I refuse to let anyone sit there and try to belittle and degrade me. You know absolutely nothing about me as a person, and I have enough respect for myself to not deal with assholes like you." I finish my rant walking out of the room and house for that matter. Fuck this.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
