Mia:I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until I got to the daycare.Only when the doors came into view, bright, colorful, normal, did my chest finally loosen just a little.Normal.That’s what I needed.That’s what she needed.Rosalyn’s small hand stayed wrapped around mine the whole walk, her grip tighter than usual, like she was afraid I might disappear again if she let go.“I’m not going anywhere,” I whispered to her softly as we stopped in front of the entrance. “Mama just needed to talk to the man for a little bit.”She looked up at me, searching my face like she didn’t fully believe it. “Promise? It is not going to be like last night?”“I promise.” I said softly. “No, it is not going to be. Things are going to go back to normal, baby.”That seemed to settle her. Brenda walked beside us quietly, not interrupting, not pushing, just there. She was supposed to be the one to drop Rosalyn to her daycare, but after Nathan left, I found myself chasing after them, wanting to get so
Nathan:I didn’t plan this, not exactly, especially that I wouldn’t even blame her if she wanted to punch me in the face.But somehow… I still ended up standing across the street from her building.My hands were in my pockets, my mind running in circles. I had gone over it a dozen times already. And yet, I still couldn’t find the rights to say.I exhaled slowly, glancing up at the building again, knowing well that she was inside, so close and yet too far for me to reach… and then the door opened.And I raised an eyebrow when Mia walked out, adjusting her bag on her shoulder, her posture already tense like she was bracing for a long day ahead, I assumed for what she had as a goal and what she aimed to do…But being wolves, I knew that she caught my scent long before she saw me. Her eyes snapped to mine almost instantly. And just like that, that wall went right back up. A blind man would have seen her hate in her eyes, and I knew better than to think that she would have just ignored wha
Mia:By the time I got back to the building, my legs felt heavier than they should have.I was completely drained. And it was like everything that happened had finally caught up to me all at once. The flashing lights were gone, and the crowd had cleared. But the echo of it was still there no matter how hard I tried to fully get my mind off of it.I stepped inside quickly, my eyes already searching, and then I saw her.Rosalyn. The one person who I was more than willing to fight for, my reason to actually stand and survive all the shit that I was going through.Sitting on the couch in my neighbor’s living room, her small hands clutching the edge of her dress, her eyes wide the second they landed on me.“Mama!” She jumped off the couch and ran straight toward me, making my heart race in a way that I didn’t even thin possible. For a second, I even thought that it might stop.I dropped my bag without thinking, bending down just in time to catch her as she threw herself into my arms.“I was
Tania:I didn’t recognize him. This was the first time that I have seen him treating me this way.Nathan had always been cold. Controlled. Distant, even when he was standing right in front of me. He didn’t want me around and he always made sure that I knew and saw it, even when he didn’t say a word about it.But this wasn’t distance. This was him wanting me gone. “Pack your things. And I am not going to repeat myself twice in this. You are going to get the fuck out of the house before I do something that I will not go back from.”The words echoed in my head, louder the second time.I stared at him, my chest tightening as I tried to make sense of what he was saying.“You’re not serious,” I whispered. “You can’t just ask me to leave, Nathan. I am your Luna…”“You lost the chance to call yourself my Luna the second you chose to play me for a fool.” He said, glaring at me. “You are lucky that I am not ripping your head off your body, but do not tempt me, Tania, and show yourself out of my
Nathan:The house was quiet when I walked in.And that quiet only made me tense up. Because was like the walls knew that something was about to break.I didn’t say anything as I stepped inside, my eyes already scanning for movement.“She’s in her room, sir,” one of the maids said softly. “She is a lot better now, she got her rest while you were gone. And as you ordered, the children have not seen her through the day.”I nodded once. “Leave.”The maid hesitated. “Sir?”“All of you,” I added, my voice colder now. “I want the house empty save for the children’s nannies. They are going to stay in their room, and the door is to be closed until I say otherwise.”There was no argument after that, it was just quiet footsteps retreating, doors closing. And the silence settling in like a cold night’s hunt.I walked down the hallway slowly, my steps measured, controlled. Because if I didn’t control it, I knew exactly what would happen, and I knew that my children didn’t deserve it… they were sti
Mia:“Yes.” The word left my mouth before I even thought about it. At this point, I had nothing to hide, and I wasn’t going to try and prove anything to him.I didn’t wait for him to respond. I turned and walked away. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to break out of my chest, my hands trembling at my sides as I pushed through the station doors and out into the open air. I needed distance, and judging by the cops who allowed me to leave without question, I am guessing that they saw through the tension in the air.“Mia!” Brenda caught up with me quickly, grabbing my arm to stop me before I could keep going. “What the hell was that?” she demanded. “What are you doing? Have you lost your mind to just do that? Everything that you were fighting for?”I let out a sharp breath, shaking my head as I pulled my arm free.“I’m done,” I said. “I am fucking done!”“That’s not just ‘done,’ Mia. You just walked away from your job, and that is not even important right now. But y
