Chapter: Forty Five - StayingAlLTHEA'S P.O.VThe late afternoon light spread itself across the floor and my mother watched me from her chair by the window with an expression I could not entirely read.She studied my face for a moment. Then she sat forward and took my hand in both of hers."Are you all right?"The question landed in the quiet room with more weight than it should have.I looked at her. At this woman who had been my mother my whole life and was something else underneath, who had bitten me three days ago to save my life, who had buried her wolf nature for love and had been forced to dig it up again so I could survive. I loved her. I loved her so much my chest hurt with it. And I could not, in this moment, perform for her. Not even for her."No." I said quietly.She nodded slowly. She did not look surprised. She squeezed my hand and stayed where she was."Tell me.""I do not know where to start, Mom.""Anywhere. Wherever the loudest thing is."I looked at the ceiling for a moment because looking at he

Chapter: Forty Four - Learning to breatheALTHEA'S P.O.VThe first thing I noticed when I woke the next morning was how loud the world had become.I lay there for a long time before opening my eyes. The medical room was quiet by ordinary standards. The monitors was removed yesterday afternoon once Dr. Chen was satisfied that my new heart was steady. The IV was gone. The only sound should have been my own breathing and the small ambient noises of a building waking up.It was not.I could hear footsteps somewhere down the corridor. Three sets of them, distinct and separate. Water running in a kitchen two floors down. A bird shifting its weight on the roof tiles above the medical building. Someone was laughing in the dining hall across the compound.I could hear the wind moving through specific branches.It was exhausting before I had even fully opened my eyes.I cracked them open slowly and the light was too bright even though the morning was grey. I turned my head away from the window and pressed my hand flat against my chest

Chapter: Forty Three - The Alpha Who Doesn't Let GoThird person’s p.o.v"You don't get to be done." Xavier’s voice came out quieter than he had intended.Althea looked up at him. Her exhausted eyes were calm in a way that frightened him."I do.""No." He shook his head slowly. The Alpha in him was waking up underneath the broken man. "You don't. Not yet. Not while I am still standing. You said you were tired and I heard you. But I am not tired, Althea. I am furious with myself. I am desperate. I am every kind of foolish a man can be. But I am not tired and I am not letting you go.""The bond is broken, Xavier.""It's not."She blinked. "What?""It is not fully broken." He kept his voice low. "I said the rejection words. The pack witnessed it. But the bond does not break completely unless you speak the matching words. The counter-rejection. You haven't done that."Xavier saw Althea’s hand drift up to her chest and stay there. Her brows pulled together. She pressed her palm flat over her heart and was silent for a long moment as if she

Chapter: Forty Two - DoneThird Person's POVXavier froze in the doorway.For a long second the world stopped around him. The constant low buzz of the medical machines fell into the background. Everything narrowed down to one single fact that his body had been waiting to confirm for days and was only now allowing itself to believe.She was awake.Althea was sitting up against the pillows. Pale, exhausted, the shadows under her eyes carved deep enough to look almost like bruises. But she was awake. Relief slammed through Xavier with a force that almost took his legs out from under him. He had to brace one hand against the door frame to keep himself upright. The wolf in him was howling somewhere just below his skin. The part of him that had been quietly preparing for the worst was suddenly told that it had been wrong.He did not so much walk as cross the room.He did not even register Althea’s mother starting to walk toward him. He reached Althea's bedside and his arms were around her before he had finished for

Chapter: Forty One - Between Life and DeathBetween Life and DeathAlthea’s P.O.VDarkness.But it wasn't empty. It pulsed softly and steadily, like a heartbeat in the void. My own? I wasn't sure.Then came the stars.One by one, they lit up the darkness above me like someone was painting light onto a black canvas. I was lying on something soft, like moss, though there was no ground.A warm breeze touched my skin, and with it came the scent of lavender and something divine and sacred.I didn't feel pain. Just peace.I opened my eyes fully, and she was there.A beautiful woman.She wasn’t made of shadows or light. She was real. Her hair looked like moonlight flowing down her back. Her eyes were deep, like they held stars inside them. Her skin glowed softly. Being near her made me feel calm and broken at the same time. My chest tightened, and I wanted to cry without knowing why."Where am I?" I whispered.She knelt beside me. Her hands glowed faintly."Between the threads of life and death. A space only the chosen may reach." Sh

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

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
