Harbored By My Mate

Knox

I made it through one deployment before I was injured and discharged.

Now I’m back in Night Grove Falls and trying to figure out what to do with my life.

The Midnight Haven has helped give me purpose, but there’s still something missing.

Or someone. 

When Daisy runs into me when I’m out on patrol, I know that I’ve just found my missing piece. 

She’s running from the law, so I take her home where I can keep her safe. 

I know that I’m harboring a fugitive, but that’s not going to stop me from keeping my mate here with me. 

Now that I found her, nothing is going to take her from me.

The charges against me are bogus.

My neighbor, Joe, is a cop and has been obsessed with me for years. 

I thought that we were just friends, but when I went over to his house one night for dinner, I stumbled across something startling. 

He has photos of me. 

Hundreds.

Videos too. 

It’s then that I realize that he’s not my friend. 

He’s a stalker. 

I try to create some distance between us, but he’s always there, always watching.

So, I try to file a restraining order, and that’s when things escalate. 

Suddenly, I’m wanted for grand larceny, a crime I didn’t commit. 

I know that I won’t get a fair trial, not here, so I run. 

Straight into Knox. 

I expect him to turn me in, but instead, he surprises me. 

He says that I’m his. 

Now I’m questioning if I’ve traded in one stalker for another, and wondering why I like having all of Knox’s attention when I hated having Joe’s.
