Damaged Like Us Novels & Stories

Four days in, and we'd already found something like a rhythm. Damien sent messages while I was sleeping, and I found his between morning meetings, a steady trickle of nothing important that somehow felt like everything. He sent a photo of terrible coffee one morning. Singapore has failed again. You've been there four days, I wrote back. Stop judging an entire country by one coffee. I have standards. I sent him a picture of his charger later that day. Still here. Unfortunately. Protect it with your life, he replied.

This time, her stomach was hurt and she was scared to death for her baby. Damien roared, shouting at Lucas and his people, " Fucking bastard! How can you hurt a woman with a child? Bastard, I am gonna kill you!" Unfortunately, when Damien decided to fight back, his body had already turned weak. His strength wasn't enough to fight against Lucas.

I wanted to argue, but another memory crashed over me. The night everything fell apart. Damien had found us, had beaten me bloody while Thelma watched. I remembered lying on the ground, ribs broken, tasting blood. "She's a weapon," Damien snarled. "An abomination that needs to be destroyed."

“I… I came here to apologize for the accident, sorry I just got here. I just returned from Singapore after undergoing medical treatment for injuries after the accident.” Only that sentence he could get out. Because after that sentence, Aaron couldn't even clearly remember what happened. All he could remember was the girl's angry hysterical screams, the neighbors who had come to separate them because she suddenly attacked him with a continuous slap. Flowers were scattered, crushed, and threats filled with hatred came out of the little girl.

"The sad part is оur tеаm іѕ undеrfundеd аnd undеr-rесоgnіzеd. It’s bесаuѕе of thе numbеr оf foreigners whо are аffесtеd. It’ѕ аѕ іf the Bureau mеаѕurеѕ the dаmаgе by nаtіоnаlіtу." "I knоw I’m gеnеrаlіzіng hеrе, but whаtеvеr аffесtѕ thе mоѕt Americans tорѕ thе рrіоrіtу list. I’vе seen іt time аnd time аgаіn. Our team receives less training, аnd there’s lеѕѕ rеnеwаl among оur ranks.”

Bella was too naïve to notice. This girl. Barely twenty-four hours with me, and already she's managed to hurt me so badly. I think my ribs are seriously broken. But no way am I going to a doctor. I am Riven Romano I don't need anyone to patch me up. If I do, they'll perceive me as weak.*

"William, we used to love each other so much. Why? Why can’t you just love me a little longer?" My voice broke into a desperate plea. But William abruptly stood, his voice like a whip. "Shut up! Don’t bring up the past again! "You think you’re still the same Whitney from back then?" He smiled in cruel disdain. "Every time I see those scars on your stomach, I feel sick. "They’re a constant reminder that a child died there. That you are beyond filthy." Each word pierced deeper than the last. Tears that mixed with the river water dripped from my hair.

"If you destroyed it, you can always build it back, right?" "It's not that simple." "Why not?" "Because, it's not. Just like in the movies, the superheroes, you know, Spiderman, The flash?" Angel nodded. "They don't save everyone, do they?" "No," "I'm one of those who can't be saved." "Really?" "Yeah. And when your China cracks, it's never the same, is it?" "Mine got broken." Angel sniffed, glancing at the broken plates still littered on the floor.

He’s in serious shit for the amount of destruction he’s caused. The bond was like a piece of stringing linking my heart to her. Stood close there was a steady thud, like a relaxed heartbeat. Stretched thin, that hurt like hell. Like the way I knew in my stomach she had stopped following me and headed west. I didn’t have to see her do it, I just knew.

It was the sweetest thing I had ever heard from him and I want to cherish that memory forever. We've been away from the Pack for a while due to the whole incident and Ethan's getting a little antsy and wants to return as soon as possible. I suffered a fracture in both legs due to the falling debris so it would be impossible to walk for a while, trying to even stand was hell. I learnt my lesson eventually but still tried everything to get better quickly. Despite the healing ability of being a werewolf, I still couldn't cheat nature and needed enough time to heal so Ethan suggested returning to the Pack and getting better there so we're leaving today.
