The Warmth I Seek Short Story Collection

So for those who loved the work, "The Warmth I Seek" I put on hold I hope you enjoy this continuation. Now then as for this collection it centers around not just the MC from (TWIS) but also things the story never mentioned like my first ever OCs whom are his dad and aunts. Along with a selective few others related to them in mysterious ways.
Why? You may ask, well the reason being is because the roles they play are more than just background characters or parental figures. They are what started everything but also are the protesters of the veil as well as carry a very dark secret that could destroy everything. The family itself is cursed because from the moment them and their children were born they were always one step closer to death.
