Cass broke out a bottle of something strong and sweet, and for a while, we let ourselves believe that maybe, just maybe, we’d pulled off a miracle. But hope is a hungry thing. It eats you if you let it. That night, Fen sat beside me, carving a piece of wood into a spiral. “The thing about promises,” he said, “is that they cost more than you think.” I nodded, feeling the weight of every word I’d spoken. He me the carving. “For luck. Or whatever comes next.” I tucked it into my pocket, next to the letter, and tried to believe in both. As I drifted off, Kael’s voice reached me through the dark. “Three witnesses. You did it.”handed

It hurts too much to think of those promises. Jack's small hands clutching mine in the same meadow flash past, and the ache in my heart softens. I see his face and hear his voice the first time he called me MUMMY. My vision darkens heavily and the water around me feels heavy. So this is how it ends. I'm closing my eyes, ready to let it all go when a voice cuts through the closing dark, "Live, Destiny. Find happiness and don't give up my love, no matter what the world throws your way. Promise me that my dear girl."

so I can do what I want.” “I know,” he replied, stepping away from me. My legs felt like jelly, my knees threatening to buckle as I stood before him. But I couldn’t show weakness. I couldn’t show any flaws to my performance. Because if he knew I was lying, I’d never get away again. “It’s only nine months, and you will be off at college. So when you come home for my graduation, you can have everything you’ve ever wanted,” I reminded him, watching as his face lit up with excitement over that notion. “You’re right. I’ll try and contain myself until then, Vanessa.” Leaning forward, I swore he was going to kiss me, but instead, he placed a gentle kiss on the side of my cheek before turning me to

As the engine started and the convoy prepared to move, Alpha George and Luna Linda shared a knowing smirk, glancing at each other with cold satisfaction as Linda murmured, “Finally, we are free from the blood promise.” The other guests followed suit, taking their places in their respective vehicles and the convoy began to move, Alpha George turned to his beta and ordered calmly, “Remove all the extra security from the borders.” His beta looked at him in shock. “But Alpha… what about the rogue attack threats?” “There won’t be any rogue attacks on our pack,” Alpha George said quietly, his eyes fixed on the car disappearing in the distance — the one Isabella was sitting in. “Not anymore.” __ *A

I said, my voice cracking into a whisper. A low him was all I could hear from Anna, and her silence said a lot. She didn't know what else to say. I gently wiped my tears, “But don't worry, he's not worth my time like you said. I'd try to get over him and I'd be strong.” “Promise?” Anna asked, her voice ringing with hope. I exhaled deeply, “Yes, I promise.” “That's my girl! I love you. Now make sure to wipe those tears, and start looking like the queen that you are!” She cheered on and I could only smile, it still hurts me deeply.

“Dante, I know we’ll do what Dario wants you to do. But if we go to my house, promise me that you won’t leave me there.” He slapped his fist against his chest. “You have my sworn promise.” Swallowing, I nodded. “I trust you.”

"When no one shows up, you learn to show up for yourself." He didn’t say anything at first. Then he placed the plate on the counter and turned to me. "You don’t have to do it alone forever." I looked at him. Really looked at him. "Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Brian." He stepped closer, lowering his voice. "I’m not twelve anymore. And I don’t run away. Not anymore." That night, when he left, he hugged me again. A little longer this time. And for the first time in a very long time, I let someone hold me.

I even tried telling him I liked him, well I thought I almost did until I woke up on my desk, with drool sipping out of the corners of my mouth. If I had attempted sharing my feelings, I know I would be down with a shattered heart, maybe he would turn me down, who knows, and then I won't be able to leave with myself after that. So I would rather leave with my fantasy than get rejected, and besides, I have just one year more, then I won't see him so frequently. And Mom had promised to get me an Android phone if I Excel. I am sure I would ace it, no matter what. All I need to do now is breathe and all will go away through my nostrils like it was never there in the first place.

My short promise. …

She is still a kid, so she definitely does not know anything about life. "Daddy always gets us something whenever he promises us... Uncle Max always does whatever he promised us to do, and the ones he never promised us, he never did them. So, I think promise is a strong thing that validates things," She shrugs, and I slowly nod my head. "So, do you mean your daddy never goes back on his words?" I ask her for some reason I do not understand. "Yes... He has never gone back on his words," She replies to me, and I nod my head. I don't know why I'm suddenly scared, but something keeps telling me that something is wrong somewhere, although I can't picture what exactly it is.
