she said softly. She knew it was something big, and she had at some point thought that it might be from work, but she hadn’t been sure. Noah nodded, his emotions raw as he spoke about the patient he had cared for. “Her name was Clara She was… She was just a young girl, full of life. I did everything I could, but…” His voice trailed off, unable to articulate the pain of losing someone under his care. Grace listened attentively, her heart breaking for Noah’s anguish. “I can’t even imagine how hard that must be for you,” she said, her voice filled with empathy.

Everything led back to her and our kiss and I wanted to do it over and over again, and more. I fell on the bed, kicking my shoes off and picking up my favorite book. La Divina Commedia, a three-part poem about the travels through the three regions, Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. It was an immediate distraction from my tormenting thoughts and the fact Emiliana was only down the hall. Or so I thought. Soft knocks, almost inaudible, tapped on my door. Louder ones followed before the door swung open.

He stayed, his eyes begging me to listen. He poured out his regrets, telling me about all the people our foundation had helped over the years. He talked and talked, but I did not show any reaction. Finally, he collapsed before me and begged, "Helen, please... Just give me one more chance. You might hate me, but Ruby's innocent. She shouldn't miss out on having her dad in her life." I had tried to bury the past, but Alfred's plea brought it all back, the memory of a knife aimed straight at my heart that dreadful night.

I don't deserve this and no one deserve to be on this situation. The old woman get a herbs from her collection of herbal medicine. This place is very creepy. There are spider's web in the ceiling and I can smell blood. She talked to my parents for a few minutes before she manage me. I want to curse her and the people who brought me here but I am not brave enough to do that. She handed me a glass. "Drink this hija," she commanded and offered me the drink of death. —Azureriel

For books and art classes and impractical sweaters. For building a life, not just surviving one. This is proof I deserve to exist beyond utility. I stare at the breakdown. It's not a fortune. It won't last forever. But it's mine. And it's enough to keep me alive long enough to get free. I open a new document and write a letter I'll never send. Dear Grandmother, I don't know if you can read this wherever you are. But I need to say thank you. I'm sick. You probably knew I would be someday—the trust clause was too specific to be coincidence. Myelodysplastic syndrome. Pre-leukemia. I'm in treatment.

I'm sure the money we're going to get from your life insurance policy is going to be more than enough to buy formula for our baby! Darkness surged before my eyes. It felt as if the whole world collapsed in that instant. Just as the very last inch of my heart froze, Zachary's doting voice slipped in again, "I get you're happy, but be careful, alright? Don't upset the baby." The last thread holding me upright snapped. I had no strength left to move forward. My body collapsed limply into the snow. Just as my consciousness slipped into the darkness, an anxious voice burst out, "Zachary! Why hasn't Sophie come back yet?!"

he ordered, slamming into me relentlessly. The orgasm shattered me. I screamed as my whole body convulsed, pussy gushing onto the floor while my ass clenched tightly around his thick cock. The intensity made my vision blur. “Fuck… Nora!” Dr. Crowe groaned loudly, burying himself as deep as possible. Hot, thick ropes of cum flooded my ass, pulse after pulse filling me until it started leaking out around his cock. I was still shaking, completely wrecked, when his pager suddenly went off on the counter.

I had never questioned an order like this before, but then again, I had never been asked to kill my wife’s father. Would she hate me? Would she leave me, taking our baby with her? Would she agree with this? Maybe bask in the justice—if you could call it that? “Sé lo que estás pensando,” (I know what you’re thinking,) my grandfather smirked. “Nuestros principios son los más elevados; honor, solidaridad y venganza.” (Our principles are highest; honor, solidarity and vengeance.) he reminded me. “No lo olvides.” (Do not forget it).

most would call the psych ward. But here we call it the grieving ward. None of the wolves there were psychotic. They were mourning the loss of their mates. Some usually came out of it after a few months. But my father had been there for 10 years. The love my parents had for each other went deeper than the mate bond. Only a few mates bonded that way. Alpha Jackson and Luna Alice were the only other mated wolves with that bond. The elders had theories that when wolves bonded that way it was because they had been bonded before in another life. It was said that some mate bonds had been through many lives together. That no matter what, they always found each other and nothing could break the bon

He picked a table close to the wall. He’s ready to call Cela on the phone when he realized she’s already there. “Go ahead. It’s about a book right?” Cela said to Noah. “Yes. I want to dedicate a book for my late fiancée and our unborn daughter,” he said. Cela was moved instantly. She finds herself wanting to know all about them. “She passed away while giving birth to our first child but both of them didn’t survive,” he continued. Nate watches Cela from where he sits. It’s been many years since he last saw her and although he knows her feature by heart, he can tell that she’s improved so much over the years. She looks so much happier and healthier now than before.
