Because It's My First Life Novels & Stories

Jack point of view: Before 16 years: I didn't understand why she kept his name a secret. I can protect them both, doesn't she know that? I don't care how many dead ones I will meet because of her. I don't care how many existences I will ruin because of her. I don't care if I broke a rule to take what isn't mine, because of her... For the first time, I feel alive not because of blood but Because Of Her. I watch her face which looked so innocent but her mind was somewhere else.

No one to care if I never return. I just need to get through it first and then it's the start of a whole new existence for me.

Kael's wolf roared. The First Daughter raised her hands. The Keeper opened its memory. And for the first time, every soul in every world felt the same thing. A choice. The empty world trembled. A single light appeared inside it. Then another. Then another. The first city gained a person. The first forest gained an animal. The first ocean gained a wave. The first star gained a planet.

I want to give her a better life; I want her to live a good and happy life, even after losing her parents!" I said with a tear running down my face.

I know where I'm at when I open my eyes. Death is already waiting for me, a wary look in his eyes. "Oh good. You're back to normal." he says relieved, and I'm confused before I remembered that I tried to dance with him. "Yeah, I wanted to apologize for that. I think that had something to do with the fact that the wolf that bit me is addicted to Fae fruit." I explained, and Death nodded. "Yeah, I figured. Mason's lifeline is a mess. It's coming undone slowly but quickly. If I didn't know better, he's dead but that addiction is making his corpse walk around in the living." Death replied.

I spoke up. "Yes. And you never answered that question, because it's strange that we've only met once but you hate me so much. What happened because of our exchange at birth is none of our fault so I just don't get it!" Layla's brows were furrowed but it only got me angry! "Because This is my Second Life!!!"

This is my new reality and I guess I have to live it with pride and self respect. Though it is very hard to start life afresh, but I guess what is meant to be can never be evaded. I have to take the bull by the horn and even if not for anything, I am going to do it for my unborn child. At least he is going to be my motivation. He is the only reason why I want to live. The only reason why I am striving to be stable in this new place I have found myself. I am going to do this irrespective of the setbacks. I sigh deeply
