(Hiraya POV)“You’re fired,” the manager says.I stare at him in dismay. I had only been working at the grocery shop for a week, and now I am suddenly unemployed once again. The weight of the situation hits me hard as I process the fact that I just lost another job - the third one in under a month. It isn't just the loss of future earnings that devastates me, but the knowledge that I won't receive any payment for the last five days of work that I had done is a really bitter pill to swallow. Unfortunately, due to the terms of my trial period agreement, I won't be compensated for my time at all. To make matters worse, I had already spent precious money on gas to travel to and from work as I live in a very remote and rural side of town, making this even harder to bear.My mind races as I replay the events that led to my termination. I remember feeling overwhelmed during my shift that morning, trying to keep up with all the tasks that had to be done. With the rush and everything else that
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 02 - Last of his line
(Kaan POV) A few hours prior… I'm sitting in my office, trying to focus on the report I'm working on. Suddenly, my mother walks in, interrupting my work with her usual barrage of questions and comments. "Kaan, when are you going to give us a grandson? You're not getting any younger, you know. We need to keep the bloodline alive," my mother says, her tone serious and insistent. I try to brush it off with a joke. "Seriously, Mom, my mind hasn't changed in the last six hours, so please stop haranguing me or I'm going to have to ask security to escort you out of the building," I tell her with a teasing smile. My mother chuckles, thinking it's all in good fun, but as she presses on, I begin to seriously consider following through on my threat, mayhap only temporarily. I love my mother deeply and respect her greatly. But the constant pressure to have children is wearing me down and wearing me down fast. I know she means well, but the daily dose of "You need to have children to continue

(Still Kaan's POV)“Sir?” With an impatient sigh, I motion for her to come in and then I hand her the pack of documents I was supposed to be working on before my mother completely derailed my focus. “Cancel my 4:30 meeting, please. I'll work on these when I get back. I'm not in the mood right now,” I mutter darkly.Melissa's eyes widen in shock. “But, sir, this meeting is—”“...is where I'll be firing people left and right or ruining this company if I don't get a breather from everyone right now. So, be a good girl and call Elijah. Tell him to prepare everything I need because I'm going up in the sky tonight. And don’t you tell my mother about it. If she comes back here again looking for me, just tell her something important came up,” I say, considering paragliding instead of skydiving but dismissing the idea quickly. The wind conditions may not be alright these days. It would be too risky today and while I’m brave, I’m not an idiot.“Yes, sir, of course. Right away, sir.”I rub my f
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 04 - Like a wrecking ball
(Hiraya’s POV)"Ow! Geez, what the heck—!? Get off me!" I screech as I find myself on the ground, toppled over by a deeply ambitious, and possibly slightly unhinged man who probably imagines himself as a bird. He just suddenly dropped from the sky, not exactly out of thin air, but I hadn't seen him coming, and he smashed into me like a wrecking ball."Sorry, sorry! Ouch, damn it, stop struggling, I can't get off, I'm all tied up—ow!" he cries when I somehow manage to smack him on the nose."I said, 'get off!'" I shout, starting to freak out because someone is on top of me and we are now entangled together and trapped under something that is triggering my anxiety about closed up spaces and being unable to escape."Please, could you just stop moving for a bit while I figure out how to untangle myself—""So you can take advantage of me!? Not bloody likely! Get off! Help!" I cry. Although, who can hear my screams in this godforsaken place, I have no idea."Miss, I understand you're scare
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 05- Trapped
(Hiraya’s POV) "What took you so long?" he asks his secretary impatiently. "Please check Ms Raya first. She is hurt as well. I can wait." The man, who Kaan introduced to me as his secretary Elijah, ordered the medical team to check them both. "We were parked not so far from here but for some inexplicable reason, the car wouldn't start when you've landed. We couldn't contact you, and I figured your transmitter broke so I immediately called in more medics to help, just in case. An ambulance should be here soon--" "I'm fine, I'm sure Raya needs it more than I do--" I panic as all eyes turn to me and blurt out. "That's not true, he can't even stand up, so please take care of him first--" It feels like I just threw him under the bus but it just feels so awkward being fussed about like this. He shakes his head dismissively. "I'll be alright in just a few--" The ambulance arrives at that moment, and Elijah shrugs. "Either way, you're both going to be thoroughly checked so we can make su
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 06 - From rags to riches
(Hiraya POV) I am already feeling better. These past few days, as I waited for my shoulder to heal, I did nothing but rest, and now I am very bored... and very hungry.Sighing as I think about opening my empty fridge that echoes with memories of the scent of my mum's cooking and my favourite dishes, I gingerly sit up, testing my shoulder by rotating it carefully. Feeling confident enough that it won't fall out of its socket again anytime soon, I take another deep breath before heading to the kitchen and stare in disgust at the sink.Of course, it is a mess. I haven't been able to wash the dishes in over a week, and now they've piled up, making me want to cry again. "Maybe I should just go back to bed…" I groan, rubbing my face with both hands. Not that it would improve the state of my kitchen. There is no one else who can take care of it but me.I have the strongest urge to cry 'mommy'...but it would be fruitless, so I soldier on and determinedly march forward to deal with my enemy:
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 07 - Disaster date
(Kaan’s POV)This will be the last one. I swear.I stare in dismay at the beautiful array of food before me, particularly at the plate of elegantly designed hors d'oeuvres. Despite the almost miserly portion, they look exquisite and tempting. The plate is a simple white ceramic platter that allows the colourful and intricate hors d'oeuvres to stand out. It is lined with a bed of fresh, vibrant green herbs, which I believe to be parsley, adding a pop of colour and freshness to the presentation. In the centre of the platter is a small bowl of creamy hummus, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. Surrounding the hummus are several small, colourful bites arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The first bite is a skewer of cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls, drizzled with a balsamic glaze and topped with a fresh basil leaf. The second bite is a small slice of smoked salmon wrapped around a dollop of herbed cream cheese and garnished with a tiny sprig of dill.
In love with a lycan: Star light, star bright 08 - A dark night and a knight-in-shining-armour
(Raya POV)(Trigger warning: dark thoughts of someone at her very low point, tempted to take her own life. Remember to always be kind to others, we never know the hardships one is going through and sometimes it's the small gestures that can save someone.)F*ck my life. I stare ahead, glassy-eyed, not even noticing the cars passing along the street before me. My car is gone, and I am about to lose my home as well. I went from having almost nothing to receiving over fifty grand, only to lose it all again due to a court order for asset seizure. My parents had left me some very unpleasant surprises - debts upon unpaid debts that are way past their due dates - and now I have nothing again. Nothing, and I am about to lose even more. Sometimes I wonder why I bother trying. It's as if fate is conspiring against me, pushing me to the edge of my sanity just to see when I will snap and some perverse deity can win a bet on how strong and resilient an orphaned girl can be. And of course, somehow
