Hello lovelies. I am sorry for this very long chapter. But I believe that there was no better way to write this. I just hope that you still enjoy reading it. Would really love to read your thoughts. If you've come this far, Thank You. XOXO - Yuri Lee
This was a fucking mess. I'm not sure if I made the right choice by bringing Kelly with me here, but even if I hadn’t brought her, she would still end up learning the truth, anyway. I suppose the only difference between the two is that I would have been beside her during the incident. I would have held her close to me and comforted her as she heard these things, making sure she didn’t feel alone. The door of the room opened, and Mateo walked in.“She ran away,” three words that scared the hell out of me because one, it’s too dangerous to be out of the borders of the pack, and two, where the hell would she go?Aiden stopped wanting to hit Clint after hearing that Kelly ran away. Both of us hurriedly went outside to start searching for her, while Sean was left behind to take care of Clint, giving him his payment and hiring him to track down Merry and her father.We all spread out, dividing the familiar places we thought Kelly would go to, just to find her.While I was running to my
LEOI watched as my Luna began to speak, and I was hypnotized by the sound of her voice, steady and full of quiet strength. Seeing the Kelly I used to know makes me so happy. And in that moment, with every word she said, I found myself falling for her all over again, deeper, harder, as if my heart was falling for her for the first time.“Why didn’t I think of that?” Aiden said in disbelief. “How could we forget the person who started all these problems that we have?” “She was good with distraction,” Kelly replied calmly, which surprises me because this was Kelly we are talking about. The person who made her life miserable. I am not sure how she was able to hold herself together, but I was proud of her. “I get the connection, and being able to witness it firsthand just makes everything clearer. But I still can’t make out the reason behind the Rogues. How was she connected with them?” “That’s something we need to find out,” I replied as I walked towards where Kelly was. “We need our
No one said a word as we all waited in silence on the balcony, or so I thought. “Do you ever wish to be someone other than yourself?” We all turned to face the person who asked the question, but he didn’t look at us. Instead, he looked up at the night sky as if the stars were something he was interested in looking at. “What do you mean?” Mateo asked. “Never mind,” Sean shook his head, but I know better.“You wouldn’t have said it if it didn’t mean anything.” I countered, acting like I didn’t care, even though my head went straight to overthinking, but he doesn’t have to know that. Still, I fear that his comment was meant for my daughter. Like her, he also wanted to be her mate. Goddess, please don’t do this to me.“Well, I guess I was just thinking out loud. Wondering if any of you think the same way,” he paused as if contemplating whether he should continue what he had begun or not.“What do you mean?” Mateo asked again. Stopping me from snapping at our friend just because he was
I am not sure when it started or how it happened, but I am glad that it did. It was as if I had just woken up from a profound sleep. Like I was dreaming. But when I heard what Kelly said about hers and Merry’s connection, something inside me changed. The heaviness that I used to feel in my chest disappeared. You know that feeling when you are restricted? That suffocating feeling that you get when you struggle to breathe underneath the ocean? All of that suddenly disappeared. I don’t usually make rash decisions, especially toward those who are important to me. But now I am doing that, at least to some extent. Because I was still making sure that Kelly would be safe if we came home. So here we are in the pack house, where everyone who matters is all in. The moment we stepped inside the pack house, everyone’s attention was on me, well, on us. ‘What the hell are you doing here?’ Aiden asked, looking worriedly at his sister. ‘She’s fine,’ I replied, but when he turned his attention
“The connection is me and Merry.” I froze when I heard what Kelly said, not because I couldn’t believe it but because she was right. I know that it had crossed my mind before, but I disregarded the thought that it couldn’t be possible. But the more I think about it now, the more it seems to be true. “Hear me out,” Kelly started to say when I kept silent. “Do you remember when you banished me?”I nodded.Unable to reply to her because it was something I’d rather bury in the deepest part of the earth, but how could I forget it when it had always haunted me? The nightmares it gave me after seeing her alive in Mateo’s pack, and realizing the feelings that I still have for her.I tried to fight it. I told myself to let her go and to give her the chance to find the happiness she truly deserves. But the more time I spend with her, the clearer it becomes: the weight I carry isn't from loving her, it's from all the wrong choices I made along the way. And now, every moment with her feels lik
“Now that we’re alone,” Leo started to say as he positioned the chair beside my bed so that it was facing me. “What’s bothering you, baby?”I know we talked about honesty, but when you’re in that moment when it’s being asked of you, it’s harder to do. There are so many things I wanted to tell him and do other than being honest about what’s really bothering me.‘Just tell him,’ Aurora complained. ‘But what if he got turned off by me?’‘What if he doesn’t?’ she countered. ‘The worst thing that could happen is for us to find another Alpha.’ ‘I don’t think you would want that,’ I replied. ‘I would rather find someone who would make us a better version of us, to help us grow strong, than someone who would make us weak and scared to say what we feel or think.’But I don’t want anyone else. We fought so hard and traveled so far just to come this far, only to have me destroy what we started to build. As much as I hate to admit it, my wolf was right. There is no use in staying in a place or
