Chapter: Forty - Anger and revelationsTHIRD PERSON'S P.O.V Three endless days of sitting in a stiff chair, Xavier’s body was aching from lack of movement and his eyes were burning from staring at the same pale figure over and over. Three days of listening to the monitors beep erratically, each pulse and flutter a reminder that Althea’s heart was fighting a losing battle. They had successfully brought her to the hospital but she hadn’t wait up till then. He rubbed his temples for what felt like the hundredth time, trying to will away the growing panic in his chest. Her chest rose and fell with shallow, uneven breaths, and every exhale felt like a knife twisting in him. Dr. Chen had told him that the body was rejecting her heart this morning. That without the bond sustaining her, her human body was realising it had a werewolf heart and was trying to destroy it. Xavier’s fists clenched at that thought. He had begged, pleaded and promised. “There has to be something we can do!” He had shouted. His voice was raw from des

Chapter: Thirty Nine - The RescueTHIRD PERSON’S P.O.V It took Riley eight minutes. She appeared in the doorway with a tablet in one hand and a face so composed it could only mean she was furious and using every part of that fury to become useful. “His grandfather’s chapel. It’s forty minutes north on family land. It was sealed since the grandfather died, but Marcus has been making maintenance visits every month for the past year.” Xavier’s eyes locked on hers. “Every month?” “Every single month.” Riley said. “Sometimes twice.” “Anyone else with access?” “No. Just him.” “Mind-link Leo.” “I tried. Nothing.” Xavier’s jaw flexed. “Blocked?” “Either he is blocking us, or something is blocking him.” The room went very still. Then Xavier turned. “Get the warriors. Full escort. We leave in three minutes.” Riley was already moving. Xavier was about to move as well but Marla caught his sleeve before he could pass. “Xavier.” He turned back. “She really loves you.” The words hit him harder than any accusation

Chapter: Thirty Eight - The feelings before regretTHIRD PERSON'S P.O.V Xavier had not moved from his desk in over an hour. Marla stood in the open doorway of his office and watched him sit there with eyes fixed on nothing. He looked like a man who had returned from war. Even worse. He looked like a man who had won a battle he should never have fought. The papers on his desk had not been touched. The cup of coffee Riley had brought him sat near his hand, untouched and going cold. The fire in the hearth burned low, throwing quiet orange light across the room, but it did nothing to warm the space. Xavier had been like this since he walked back from the courtyard. Silent and still. Stillness that did not come from peace, but from a man holding himself together by force because if he moved, if he breathed too deeply, if he allowed even one thought to settle fully, he would crack. He looked up when he sensed Marla. “Marla.” He acknowledged her with a rough and hollow voice. “Alpha.” She stepped into the office and

Chapter: Thirty Seven - What The Father WantedAlTHEA’S P.O.V I woke to voices. Distant. Muffled. Like I was underwater. "...not responding..." "....pulse is weak…" "....don't know if she'll make it…" I tried to open my eyes, but they were so heavy. My entire body felt heavy. Like I was made of lead. "Althea, can you hear me?" That was Dr. Chen's voice. "Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." I tried. God, I tried. But my fingers wouldn't cooperate. "She's in and out of consciousness." He said to someone else. "The rejection shock was too severe. Her heart is barely functioning. We need to get her to a hospital." "No hospitals." A different person said in a cold and authoritative voice. "She stays here." That voice. I knew that voice. But it wasn't Xavier. "Marcus?" That was Leo. "What are you doing here?" "Checking on the girl." He said smoothly. "Making sure she's being cared for properly." "Dr. Chen has it under control…" "Does he?" Marcus's voice moved closer. "Because it looks to me like she's dying. And if sh

Chapter: Thirty Six - The RejectionALTHEA’S P.O.V The morning of the rejection came grey and still. The kind of grey that made the world look as if it had already given up trying to be beautiful. I had slept badly. Sleep had come in pieces, thin and broken, slipping away every time the pain in my chest pulled me back to the dark room. By dawn, I stopped pretending I could rest. I lay on the narrow bed with both hands pressed flat over the transplant scar beneath my clothes and stared at the ceiling while the first pale light crept through the curtains. The pain had settled into something constant overnight. It sat behind my sternum like a tight fist, pulling with every breath, tightening whenever I moved, refusing to ease no matter how still I stayed. I closed my eyes and I told the heart beneath my hands to hold on a little longer. For a moment, there was only silence. Then it pushed back against my palm. A small, broken breath left me. “All right.” I whispered to the empty room. “Then we fight.” The words s

Chapter: Thirty Five - Choosing The GhostALTHEA’S P.O.V Xavier stopped in the doorway and our eyes met. He looked at me with a face that revealed nothing and his eyes revealed everything. HIs eyes went to the book and the cardigan in my hands and his jaw set. "What are you doing in here." It wasn’t a question. "Collecting my things." I said evenly. "You should have asked someone to do that for you." "I didn't want someone else to do it." I held his gaze. "I wanted to be in here one more time. I think I've earned that much." Something tightened around his eyes. "You've earned nothing that gives you the right to go through my space without…" "I am not that ill-mannered. I wasn't going through your things." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "I was standing in a room where I have lived for weeks. A room where you made space for me. Where you chose, every single night, to be close to me." I took one step toward him and watched something happen in his face that he controlled immediately. "And now you walk past me i

Forsaken By Her Husband
"You are just someone who was forced on me and nothing else. An ugly-duckling like you, will never be love by me." His words were like a sharp sword that pierced my heart deeply. He was mentally hurting me. He did not have to act like that to remind me who I was.
~Months later~
"I deserve this." He said in a tone that held agony.
"But please, don't leave. I'm sorry for everything." His eyes dimmed and his voice cracked. "Please. I need you." His grip only tightened.

Chapter: EpilogueLinda’s p.o.v ‘Our journey of love was full of ups and downs, it will be in the future as well. No marriage is perfect, but I will nevertheless make an effort to appear flawless in your eyes and you will not walk through it alone. If I make mistakes along the way, please remind me, correct me, and love me till I come to my senses. You are the only one who can guide me home. Today, I am asking you to be my date forever. For I will always choose you.’ The tears that I had been holding while reading the letter were finally out on that part. I did not know when Daniel fell so hard for me that I would actually question my love for him. Did his love beat my love for him? Whatever it was, the feeling of receiving a letter from the groom while waiting to be manifested at the altar was one of the best moments on the wedding day. I finally found my heaven on Earth and I needed nothing else. Our love won. It was bliss. I acquired so much during the few days and he was always there for me.

Chapter: chapter 72Third person’s p.o.v“What have you done, you freak?”She roared with trembling lips and watery eyes. She witnessed a murder and she could lose her mind. “I should have done that earlier. I loved Lilith but she was not living as per my according. I was not hitting her for pleasure, I was just giving her a correction and how I would sleep with her if she was going to be a mother. I did that because I cared for her. You remember the lake view, it was her favourite place.”“Watching you there made my heart rest. It feels like I was watching her. I even got rid of that girl Serena for you. She tried to harm you.”Linda gasped in horror. He killed Serena. He was a total psychopath and she wanted to vomit. On top of that, he had the audacity to say that he loved Lilith with that filthy mouth of his. She cursed herself badly in her mind for not recognising such a monster. He was a total devil in disguise. He made her do things that Lilith loved to keep her alive. He was sick. “Wear this.

Chapter: chapter 71Third person's p.o.v A calmness settled over the cemetery amid the gently swaying branches and the lovely kind of flowers. Linda kneed in front of her parents' grave. She missed them. She handed Morillo all the information that he needed a day before itself and came to seek peace near her parents today. She was going to settle for a new life and without their blessings, it would not be possible. Plus, as bizarre as it might be, she felt tranquillity in that space more than in the house. Daniel's mind was still processing her words so he did not disturb her after getting home. He went through a check-up in a clinic after the incident and shut himself in his room. She was hurting as well. After all, she still loved him but one-sided love would never be enough for a marriage. She went through it once.She had a conversation with Max as well and was relieved to know that he supported her in every decision. She sighed. Maybe she was cursed in love. Taking a glance at her watch, she b

Chapter: chapter 70Third person's p.o.vLinda lay down on the fresh green grass near the lake Lucas had shown her the other day. She needed some time alone for herself. Her presence counted for more than an hour. It would be a little quirky to say but she felt a connection with the place even when she first came here. Her mind continuously denied it but her heart did not. The peace of mind that she got was unbelievable. She decided to let her life go with the flow and accept all the positive things that were incoming. She was admiring the infinite sky when her mind sent her a signal to become alert as she heard fallen leaves being crunched as if people were walking on them. She stood up and hid behind one of the big trees and waited for the person to walk in. However, instead of one, she felt like there were more. She removed her shoes and tip-toed secretly to see what it was. She was surprised though. Lucas had told her that it was a secret passage. No one except her and him could experience the bea

Chapter: chapter 69Third person’s p.o.vLinda woke up early in the morning and the memories of the day before flashed in her mind. It was a beautiful dream that would come once in a while. Daniel apologised to her for not buying her a cake but she reassured him that she did not want that either. Her day was made special by her special person. What made it even more exceptional was the time at the beach. After they had their dessert, they heard a boy singing and playing guitar for his girlfriend. Linda found it cute and complimented their pair as well as the boy’s idea to impress his girl. Nevertheless, she did not know what took over Daniel. He approached them and exchanged his car for the guitar for one hour. Thereafter, he asked Linda her favourite song and he played the guitar while singing to her. Linda felt blessed. She did not miss her father to such an extent that would damage her emotionally. She did not get the opportunity. Unwillingly, Daniel increased the love and respect she had for him

Chapter: chapter 68Third person’s p.o.vLinda sat down in the movie theatre and was entertained by the film. On the other hand, Daniel sat down hiding his face at every moment he felt a jump scare would occur. While it was Linda who was supposed to be in that character, Daniel was playing that role. He gripped Linda’s hand and sometimes would hide his face behind her which would cause Linda to get annoyed. Yet, as a supportive friend, she would let him do that. After all, he had surrendered himself to her for that day. “You were such a baby.”Linda teased him while walking to the parking lot and Daniel was following her. He was still getting goosebumps. “You don’t need to remind me.”“Baby Daniel.”“Stop.” “Crying baby Daniel.”“What did you say?”At a pace, Daniel galloped in from behind her and came close to her threatening to say that again. Linda repeated and ran to their car full of laughter.She opened the door only to hear a loud bang and it was closed by a force which was eventually Daniel
