That night, I saw Samson kneeling outside my apartment building.He thought he could use my pity to win my forgiveness, but I wasn't the same old Sharon that he knew. No matter how long he kneeled, I would never forgive him.Snow kept falling, piling up on his shoulders until a thick layer covered him, but he didn't move.In this world, he was just an ordinary human without any werewolf strength or resilience. Before long, his body gave out, and he collapsed in the snow.I took him to the hospital. Even unconscious, he kept murmuring my name, begging me not to leave.I couldn't understand him. Why fight so hard for something you once wanted to destroy?When I was with him, he couldn't wait to push me away, and now that I was gone, he was desperate to hold on. If there was a reason for it, it had to be madness.The Moon Goddess told me that after tonight, he'd be sent back to his world.I checked the clock. It was half an hour until midnight.When I turned back, I saw that Sams
I don't know what happened to Samson after that, and honestly, I couldn't care less.I thought after the last time, he'd finally give up. But I had still underestimated how shameless he could be.He actually followed me all the way to my office.That day, when I got off work, I saw him standing by the entrance, holding a cake and a bouquet."Happy birthday, Sharon," he greeted with a soft smile.I walked right past him as if he were invisible.He grabbed my arm. "Wait, Sharon! I'm not here to beg you to come back. I just… wanted to celebrate your birthday."I stopped, and he continued, "I know I'll be leaving soon. Just let me spend one last birthday with you."I didn't know where he got the money for flowers and cake, but when I saw the frostbite on his hands, I could imagine how miserable his life had been."Sharon, have a piece of cake." He lowered the box toward me.I slapped it away, and the cake splattered on the ground.He froze for a second, then forced a laugh. "I
As soon as I got home, the Moon Goddess' voice echoed in my mind."I'm sorry. I didn't expect Samson to go to a witch. Because of her interference, the fabric of time and space has been damaged. It'll take me a while to fix it. But worry not. It won't be long."I nodded.However, when my parents found out that Samson had shown up, they were furious and wanted to charge out the door to give him a beating.They knew exactly how much I'd suffered in that world, and that most of my pain came from him. He had pushed me so far that I'd tried to end my life three times.It took all my pleading to finally calm them down and stop them from doing something reckless.I thought once the Moon Goddess repaired the fabric of time and space, Samson would be erased from my life for good.I had underestimated his shamelessness. He had the gall to show up outside my apartment again.This time, he kneeled in the snow, shaping handfuls of it into roses. One after another, he laid them out in front
When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was my mom, crying so hard her face was soaked in tears."Sharon, you're finally back! You don't know how much I've missed you."My dad was right beside her, trying hard to hold back his own tears. "You're home, and that's all that matters. Look at you, you've lost so much weight… You must've gone through hell out there."The warmth I hadn't felt in so long hit me all at once. My nose tingled, and years of bottled-up pain came pouring out in a flood.I threw my arms around them both and sobbed into their shoulders. They didn't say anything and just kept patting my back gently as if to tell me it was over now.I was finally home.…In the days that followed, my parents did everything they could to help me recover. They bought me all kinds of tonics and supplements, and cooked my favorite meals every day.Two weeks later, I could finally walk again.That day, the sun was warm and bright, so I went out into the garden to admire t
I thought I was finally going home this time, back to my own world.But when I opened my eyes and saw Samson's face again, disappointment flooded my chest.He was slumped in a chair beside my bed, looking pale and haggard. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and there were dark circles beneath his eyes. It was clear he hadn't slept in days.The healer told me that Samson had called in every top healer in the pack to treat me and that he hadn't left my side for ten straight days. He only collapsed into sleep when he finally heard that I was out of danger.My conversation with the healer seemed to have awakened Samson. He jerked upright suddenly."Sharon!"The bloodshot whites of his eyes shimmered with tears as he rushed to grab my hand."Sharon, why would you do something like this? If I hadn't found you in time, you'd be dead! Why don't you care about your own life?"I wanted to explain, but the Moon Goddess' warning not to tell anyone about this echoed in my mind. So, I s
A few days later, I was discharged from the infirmary. Samson came to pick me up.The moment I opened the passenger-side door, I froze. Leia was already sitting there.She gave me a saccharine smile. "Sorry about this. I get carsick easily, so Samson let me sit up front. But if it bothers you, I can move to the back. It'll just make me a little uncomfortable, that's all."Before I could say anything, Samson reached over and gently took her hand, stopping her. "Your body's still weak. You should just sit here. Sharon wouldn't mind."I said nothing. I simply turned away from what used to be my seat and opened the back passenger door instead.The backseat was piled high with Leia's makeup bags and snacks. Even the seat covers had been swapped out with those of her favorite cartoon lamb design.All that was left for me was a tiny corner to squeeze into.She turned around and apologized in embarrassment. "Oh no, I went shopping with Samson and bought too much. The trunk couldn't fit
