Cherished Affliction Novels & Stories

It made me wonder if there was something fundamentally wrong with me, if I was somehow unlovable. The ache within me grew, a hollow feeling that seemed to echo through every cell of my body. I had never known the warmth of being cherished, of being truly loved and valued. It was as if I was a fragile, delicate flower, left to wither and die in the scorching desert of neglect and indifference. No one had ever held me close, whispered sweet nothings in my ear, or made me feel like I was the most precious thing in their world.

She is right, it's a curse, an affliction embedded deep in our bones, a one we can't escape no matter how hard we try, "So, it feels stupid, and well rather selfish to bring anyone else into this." "We suffered," She shrugged, like suffering wasn't that big of a deal anymore, "So, let's not make more people suffer as well," She added, her tone strong and fed up with what this life keeps pushing our way, "You want to correct your mistakes, you do just that."

I watched Creed’s eyebrows scrunch together as he gave me a pouty look. Reese nodded, but gave me a curious look, “I just don’t understand why you only have three fated mates if we’re all connected.

Not for love, but for sacrifice and for gratitude. Madam Frost had done so much for me when she was alive. Xavier was alone now, and though he hated me, I somehow could understand him, too. My heart wouldn't stop aching for him if I had to leave him alone. He would be too lonely. He was only 20 after all and he had no one else in this world except me. So, even though I knew I was meant to regret this choice for the rest of my life, I knew it was the price I had to pay for the good things I had taken from Madam Frost when she was alive.

Asha said, "For a girl who is getting married to the love of her life you seem extremely disinterested." " Love of my life!" She laughed. "You know, Asha, sometimes we pine for something so much that it becomes our life's ambition, only to find out later that it wasn't meant for us at all. Something more was in store for us."

I jumped hearing his sudden outburst, I had somehow tapped into his mind, again, unfortunately. "Well if you may know my dear Isabella. I unfortunately have had bitter-runs in with choosing my mates to claim, a very unpleasant tale to tell with you being the most recent. I'm sure you understand the distinction between a mate and a claimed human." My cheeks flushed hearing that he had wanted to mate with me but I quickly cleared my throat before continuing.
