**** FLASHBACK ****
My dad went home three days after his important trip.
"Dad!" I exclaimed as I excitedly ran to him when I saw him coming into our house.
He smiled as he bent and opened his arms, ready to give me a warm hug.
I happily encircled my arms around his neck. Then he carried me up in his embrace. After a while, he sat down on the couch and let me sit on his lap.
"How's my mira (daughter)?"
With the desire to help Blaze in recovering his memory, I wished to know his past and what pack he belonged to. However, I didn't expect that the truth I wanted to discover would hit me like lightning. From the wine shop, I ran to the elevator where Blaze and I rode earlier, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible. The tears that kept on flowing from my eyes blurred my vision. I couldn't help but cry, even though I noticed people's gazes were following me. Nonetheless, I ignored all of them. I just wanted to get away from there. I heard Blaze call my name as he ran after me. But I didn't
My dad walked towards me. His powerful temperament being an Alpha earlier became soft as he moved near me. Then he hugged me so tight.It touched my heart. He's still the loving father I used to know. Then tears filled my eyes as I felt how much he missed me through his warm hug. And I missed him as well.My dad withdrew his arms from me. Then he asked while wiping the tears from my cheeks. "Ayira, why did you run away? Do you know how worried I was when you left?"I knitted my brows. Then I shoved his hands away as anger rushed through me as I remembered what he did to me and what he did fifteen years ago.
Blaze's POV I was puzzled why Ayira suddenly cried after she talked to Evan Roosevelt. I wondered what he told her, that she reacted like she was in great shock. Moreover, why did she apologize to me and run away from me afterward? Those were the questions that were rolling in my mind as I chased her. I called her, but she didn't even look back. But then, I still followed her until she went out of the mall. So I clearly saw it when Evan's car stopped in front of her. Then she glanced at me. I could feel her hesitation by the way she looked at me.
Ayira's POV "From now on, never leave my side, okay?" Blaze whispered in my ears while I was in his warm embrace. Almost every night, I dreamed of that scene when Blaze told me those words. And it was almost every night I would wake up with tears in my eyes. Like now, I woke up in the middle of the night crying. I got up off my bed and walked towards the window and opened it. Then I rested my arms and chin on the stool and looked up at the waxing gibbous moon with melancholy in my eyes.
'Do you really want to see him?' Sierra asked solemnly. 'Yeah, I want to see him for one last time, even from afar.' I admitted. Right. I must see him for the last time. And that last time would be my goodbye. I must let him go or I would suffer forever. Because my love for him hurt me like hell, knowing that even though he's my mate, we're not meant to be together. Sad but true, because our fate had been twisted fifteen years ago when our pack invaded theirs. 'Answer me first how much you miss him.' S
My heart was racing in my chest as I marched down the aisle because I had a lot of mixed emotions about this marriage, knowing that it was not my destiny to marry Evan. I knew very well that I was destined to be with Blaze, my mate. That's why I couldn't understand why destiny let me meet him or I should rather ask why we became mates, if, in the end, we would not be together. If in the end, we would only fight each other. Sigh. I shouldn't be thinking of Blaze anymore. It's not right. But what could I do? I couldn't help myself thinking of him as my heart was shouting, firmly opposing this marriage. Nonetheless, my mind won over my heart as I already accepted that it was my fate. I had no other choice but to embrace it wholeheartedly. Because sometimes the more that we fight for our destiny, the more we hurt ourselves, the more we suffer in misery. Thus, I let myself go with t
The luminous silver moon that was shining brightly like a diamond in the night sky, hid behind the dense clouds, making the picturesque surroundings look misty. Evan and I were already a few meters away from our house. But I had a hard time running. Thus, I halted as I removed my shoes, while Evan tore my wedding dress and made it up to my knees. Then I looked back in my dad's direction and saw him shift into his wolf. Everyone was in an uproar, attacking and defending each other. But my eyes widened i
I heard Blaze's wolf roar as he was about to attack us. But I suddenly opened my eyes when I heard another growl, defending us from the attack. I turned and saw Primo's wolf fighting with Blaze. However, Blaze's wolf was remarkably strong. I witnessed how many times Primo's wolf knocked to the ground. "Primo!" I shrieked as tears streamed down my face when I saw blood gushing from his neck after Blaze hit him. "Ayira, you should escape now. Let us handle this." My dad mumbled weakly. His breath grew thin and ragged.
