Yewa's P.O.V

That night, the café’s chatter was long behind me, but the echoes inside my chest refused to settle.

I lay awake in my small apartment, staring at the ceiling while the city hummed faintly outside. Dylan’s words replayed. Dahlia’s, too but most of all, his.

“I’ll keep showing you. However long it takes.”

My fists clenched around the blanket.

The General had once been my cage.

My undoing.

My tormentor and protector all at once, and yet, tonight, his voice hadn’t been the commanding tone of a superior.

It had been, stripped.

Bared.

Honest in a way I didn’t think him capable of.

I rolled onto my side, trying to banish the thought. I needed sleep as tomorrow was another long day, but as my eyes began to flutter closed, a soft knock startled me.

‘Not again.’ I whispered to myself as soon as I smelt him.

It was a crazy time to be at someone's house.

I slipped out of bed cautiously, heart pounding as I padded barefoot to the door.

For a moment, I considered ignoring it. P

    Yewa's P.O.V Looking at him walking through the door no longer looked foreign, instead it was familiar.By the seventh day, the bell above the café door no longer startled me.I knew it would ring, sometime between sunrise and my first hour at the counter, and I knew who would step through it.The General.Every day for the past week, he had been there. Groceries sometimes. Flowers on other days, and even though I never accepted them, it didn't stop him from always bringing them and always claiming a seat at the same corner table, with his broad figure impossible to ignore, his dark eyes impossible to escape.At first, it infuriated me. His persistence was another cage, an invisible one, made of silent presence and unwavering attention. No matter how many times I glared at him, no matter how many cold words I snapped, he stayed.But then, he surprised me.He wasn’t the same man I had run from. He didn’t demand or command. He didn’t reach for me or force my hand. He waited. He

    Yewa's P.O.VThe bell above the café door jingled as I stepped inside, the familiar scent of roasted beans and vanilla syrup washing over me. Normally, it grounded me, and reminded me that I was Christy here, not Yewa. But today? Today, the illusion shattered the moment the General followed me in.His presence devoured the space.He didn’t belong in this small, cozy coffee shop with its faded chalkboard menus and scuffed wooden floors. He belonged on a battlefield, a throne room, anywhere but here and yet, there he was, broad-shouldered, towering, radiating that quiet, terrifying authority that turned heads instantly.My coworkers noticed first.“Christy!” Jenny greeted, the morning shift lead, her tone bright and bubbly as usual, but her eyes widened as soon she caught sight of the man behind me, nearly dropping the tray she was carrying.I forced a smile, hoping my coworkers wouldn’t ask, but the whispers had already started and my lovely wolf ears did not filter anything making m

    Yewa's P.O.V The pounding on my door yanked me out of my shallow sleep that I managed to get after hours of tossing and turning. My body jolted upright, heart slamming against my ribs like a trapped bird, and for a brief, fragile second, I prayed it was just the landlord, maybe a neighbor complaining about noise, anything. Even though I smelt him, I still wished but of course my wish wasn't granted. There he was. The General. Standing tall with a black fitted t-shirt and sweatpants that makes him look domesticated and stupidly good. The tiger I had run from. The man I had sworn never to see again. Standing in front of me in broad daylight, balancing a brown paper bag of groceries in one arm and a bouquet of fresh flowers in the other as though this were some ordinary domestic visit. For a moment, my mind refused to process what my eyes were seeing, and my gaze flicked from the green of the vegetables poking out of the bag to the ridiculous spray of lilies in his grip. It w

    Yewa's P.O.VThe way I felt in this moment was one that I could not put a finger on. It was like the cloudy sky and sun up in the sky just represented my feelings in this moment.It all came rushing back like it was just yesterday that it happened.The betrayal I felt deep in my heart that I was too ashamed to talk about, the anger, the pain to escape, my wounds and the stupid affection I was developing at the time.The wounds that had healed and it's forgotten scars seemed to start to open up at the sight of him. Every wall I had built in the past year cracked like glass under a hammer.It was as if time folded in on itself and I wasn’t Christy anymore, the woman who poured coffee and smiled at strangers. I was Yewa again, the fugitive who had fled his house under a moonless sky, lungs burning, ribs aching, praying that no one cared enough to pursue her.Except he had cared, and now, a year later, his presence proved he had never stopped.The flood of emotions was unbearable.The su

    The General's (Eric's) P.O.VAfter all these months, all the disappointments, and a heavy heart that could not even function properly, I got a whiff.It was faint and almost like I had imagined but that was not the case as I had tried to imagine it sometimes just to feel the comfort of the illusion of her presence but I could never get the exact smell in my memory.It was her.It had to be her.“Is there a problem?” Dylan asked the second he saw the shift and the urgency in my demeanor as I stood up with a speed that even I didn't think of.“I smelt her.” I responded in a daze as a smile that I could surpress rested on my lips and my brain in awe of what I had missed so much.As soon as I told him, he inhaled deeply to try to grasp whatever it was that I smelt but from the disappointed look and roll fo his eyes, he got nothing.By the roll of his eyes, I knew what he wanted to say before he even uttered a word and I didn't want to hear it because I was not mistaken.“You might just be
