ดูเพิ่มเติมHi, Elara.
I'm breaking up with you. I read the text which had popped up in my phone when I was in class and laughed. Not because it was funny - but because there was no way, this is real. Surely, Rex just wanted to play a prank on me. Something he was very fond of doing. I shook my head, got into my car and headed home. Perhaps I should pretend and act like I believed him so he would get the satisfaction of thinking that his prank got to me. I could. But God knows I've got a very crazy day at work - so I'm just gonna opt out and play along next time. I parked my car in our garage about one hour later and walked into the house. Rex was in the sitting room, sitting down but the smile on my face slipped when I saw his mother there too - and she looked so serious. Not that Agnes ever looked unserious. “Hi mum. Hey baby, you didn't tell me mum was coming today.” I bent to kiss him but Rex's reaction had me raising my brow. He moved his face away and shoved me lightly away from him “Did you not get my text?” I shrugged, “I did baby, but I have had a very long day so I'm really not in the mood for one of those pranks - I'm sorry.” Rex's mouth opened as if to say something, but closed again and he turned to his mother who hadn't said a word to me since I walked in. “Prank?” She asked, folding her arms, “whoever said it's a prank? My son is breaking up with you!” I laughed, “that's a joke.” “I told you she will not take it seriously mother.” “Of course I won't,” I snapped my heart suddenly beating faster as I realised that this was no prank, “what do you mean breaking up with me? Out of the blue! Over what?” Agnes stood up, and covered the distance between us with three long strides, her eyes flaring. “Well you better believe it. Rex is breaking yo with you and that's it!” I turned to Rex, “Are you serious Rex?” He averted his gaze, “it's time for me to move on, Elara. You are doing nothing but tying me down and I'm tired of it. “ His words hit me so hard, I staggered back shocked to the bone. “I…I'm tying you down?” That would have been so laughable if I wasn't feeling like my heart was being ripped out of my hands. “You heard him right,” Agnes's chimed in glaring daggers, “Rex here has found an amazing opportunity. He just got hired in the Wilson's corp company thanks to his granddaughter - his new girlfriend.” A breath left me. “Yes. He already has a new girlfriend who's pushing him to rise .” You've got to be kidding me. “I single handedly saw your lazy son through school. Paid 10 million dollars into his account which he blew away in a few months because he wasn't smart or strong enough to get up and start something on his own,” I said my voice rising, “and I'm the one tying him down? Have you ever for once thought - that perhaps he's just too lazy to be a man.” A loud smack followed my words and it was only the sharp sting on my cheek that made me realise that Angela had slapped me. “Shut your dirty mouth. Whatever you say now is irrelevant. He's breaking up with you - take it or leave it.!” I cupped my stinging cheek and breathed out ignoring the pain - not just physical one - but the one deep in my heart, the pain that was tearing through me like the sharp edge of a sword. “Oh, I'm taking it quite alright,” I said, “gladly. Good riddance by the way. So, Rex, you have one hour to get out of my house and oh! I'll need my 10 million dollars back before that!”The next morning dawned with a heavy sense of dread weighing on me. As I lay in bed, the sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting warm golden patterns across my room. I should have felt comforted, but instead, I felt like I was on the edge of a precipice, teetering and waiting for the inevitable plunge. I forced myself to sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed. The wooden floor was cold against my bare feet, and I shivered slightly. I had avoided checking my phone all morning, fearing a text from Stefan or, worse, Rex. But as I took a deep breath and steeled myself, I grabbed my phone from the nightstand.No new messages. A mix of relief and disappointment washed over me. It was strange how much I had come to rely on the presence of Stefan in my life, even though he stirred up so much uncertainty. I shuffled to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face. I stared at my reflection, taking in the dark circles under my eyes and the way my hair stuck out in all dire
The lights of the city twinkled like stars as Keisha drove through the familiar streets, but the beauty of it all felt distant, as if I were watching a movie from behind a glass screen. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, a chaotic jumble of emotions that I couldn’t seem to sort out. “Are you okay?” Keisha asked, glancing over at me as we waited at a stoplight. Her concern was palpable, and I appreciated it, but it only added to the weight on my chest.“Yeah, I’m fine,” I replied, though my voice lacked conviction. The words felt heavy on my tongue, weighed down by the truth I was trying to deny. I wasn’t fine. I was a mess, caught between the reality of my life and the bizarre new world Stefan had introduced me to.“What’s going on in that head of yours?” she probed, her eyes steady on the road but her attention completely focused on me. “You’ve been quiet ever since we left your place.”I sighed, leaning my head back against the seat. “I don’t know, Keisha. I feel… I don’t know. C
The air outside felt thick, like a brewing storm ready to unleash itself, but I couldn’t focus on the weather. My mind raced with everything that had happened recently. The revelations, the strange connection with Stefan, and now the humiliation Rex had put me through—it was all too much. I could feel a heavy weight settling in my chest as I made my way to my car, my thoughts swirling like a hurricane.I tried to push it all down. Tried to tell myself that it wasn’t a big deal. But the truth was, things were changing, and I had no control over any of it.As I started the car, the engine’s low rumble did little to soothe my nerves. The memory of Stefan’s promise back in that dark closet echoed in my head. He’d said he would deal with Rex, that he wouldn’t let anyone hurt me. But I didn’t want him fighting my battles. I could handle Rex on my own. I *had* to.Yet, there was something about Stefan’s protective nature that unsettled me. It wasn’t just his promises; it was the way he look
I shouldn’t have come to campus today. That was the thought swirling through my mind as I walked across the courtyard, my heart pounding in my chest. After everything that had happened—the shocking revelations, Stefan’s insane claim that he was a werewolf, and the terrifying fact that I believed him—I needed time to process. But instead, I was here, trying to pretend that everything was normal. But it wasn’t. Nothing felt normal anymore.The whispers followed me through the hallways. They had since Rex and his girlfriend, that snake Clarissa, had humiliated me in front of the entire faculty the other day. My feet dragged as I moved toward the faculty lounge, not because I was physically tired, but because I dreaded what would come next. Stefan had kept his distance since his dramatic reveal, something I was grateful for but also… unsettled by. Part of me wanted him to barge into my life again and force me to confront this madness. The other part of me wanted to run as far away as
The air was still, thick with tension as I sat in my living room, staring blankly at the walls. My mind had been spinning ever since Stefan’s ultimatum. It was as if the universe had tilted, and I was left clinging to the remnants of my old life, trying to make sense of it all. *Werewolves? Mates? Danger?*It was impossible. Completely absurd. I should’ve laughed in his face, but every time I tried to, something tugged at the back of my mind—his eyes. The way he looked at me, the raw emotion in his voice, it didn’t feel like a lie. But how could it be true? How could *any* of it be true?I groaned, rubbing my temples in frustration. Keisha had already called twice, sensing something was wrong, but I didn’t have the energy to explain. Not yet. Not until I could figure out what the hell was happening.The soft buzzing of my phone on the table pulled me out of my thoughts. For a second, I hesitated, hoping it wasn’t Stefan again. I didn’t think I could handle another intense conversation
The early morning light filtered through the trees, casting long shadows over the clearing as I paced back and forth, my mind racing. I had never been one for patience, especially when it came to matters this important, but I knew that pushing Elara too far, too fast, would only make things worse. And yet, time was running out.She had no idea the kind of danger she was in—none at all. The longer she stayed unaware, the more vulnerable she became. But every time I tried to explain, she shut me out. The fear in her eyes when I mentioned what we were, what *I* was, was like a knife to the gut. She thought I was just messing with her, playing some cruel game.I stopped pacing and raked a hand through my hair, letting out a low growl of frustration. She didn’t understand, and I couldn’t exactly blame her. How could a human begin to comprehend the weight of the bond that tied us together, or the threats lurking just beyond the veil of her reality?But she *had* to understand. She had to kn
