He glanced at his wife and calmly said, “I know you love him, but I think it would be better for us to start our life together immediately.” She turned back to look at her husband and said, “I know you love her, but I feel that it is time for us to start our new life and forget everything.” They both finally said the things which they wanted to say for a long time, but the only difference is they didn’t say to the people they thought they would during that “long” time. They actually uttered those words to the people who became their New Beginning…

My online boyfriend had been my sister's nemesis. He and my sister had been desk mates in high school, always competing for the top spot in their grade. He ranked first, while she ranked second. They could barely stand each other, yet they both ended up attending the same university in our city. Every time my sister came home for a break, she spent days complaining to me about him. This time, she came home with her suitcase and an unusually bright smile on her face. Mom teased her. "How come you did not mention your favorite nemesis this time? You seem to be in such a good mood. Do you have something going on?" My sister laughed and handed Mom a gold necklace. "Here. Your future son‑

This was my first Monday since Aleu had awakened. The first Monday since everything changed. The girl staring back at me wasn’t the same girl who had walked into school only just a few days ago. I felt stronger. More confident. More like the person I had always been meant to become. For so long, fear and doubt had followed me everywhere. Every decision. Every thought. But now those voices no longer controlled me. I wasn’t alone anymore. I had Aleu. I had my mate. A small smile touched my lips. Even thinking about Nathan made warmth spread through my chest.

Chapter 18 (Song Kygo - could you love me) “I'm sorry For all the stupid things I'm saying right now I don't know I guess I Just need to love myself a little more Before I love somebody else And I been praying To be a better man for you Oh, oh I hope I'm changing (I hope I'm changing) I just wanna be a better man for you For you, for you Could you love me With all my crazy? Could you look past all the goodbyes, all the maybes?

His expression faltered, his mouth opening, but no words coming out. I took a deep breath and continued, “You say you’ve changed, but you haven’t! From the start, everything you did was selfish. You never truly cared about my feelings. You say you cherish me, but when I needed respect the most, where were you? James, you’re only trying to make up for your guilt. You’ve never truly respected me.” He froze, staring at me with disbelief, as if he were seeing me for the first time. I let out a cold laugh, turned, and left, leaving one final sentence behind. “The old me always tolerated and compromised, but the new me will never again.”

Just like that. The forest fell silent again. But this time it wasn’t the same. Because now they knew. And worse I knew. Whatever I was becoming it was no longer hidden. And whatever was coming next it wouldn’t stop until it reached me.

How they curled around the parts of me I didn’t like looking at. Unknown: Let me be the man you practice on. The one who shows you what you’ve been missing. Unknown: And when you’re ready, ready for him, you can thank me. I closed my eyes, breathing in and out. Unknown: One picture, baby. Just one. Unknown: You’ll see. You’ll feel different. Powerful. Unknown: And if you don’t... then I’ll go. You’ll never hear from me again. I sat there, thumb trembling above the screen.

I cupped his face. “Listen to me,” I said, each word a promise. “You think ‘better’ means penthouse views and black credit cards? I’ve had ‘better.’ It was empty. ‘Better’ is watching you light up when you talk about those kids. ‘Better’ is building something with my own hands that actually helps people. ‘Better’ is you, next to me, fighting for what’s real.” I pressed my forehead to his. “I don’t want a life behind you, Aiden. I want a life with you. However messy it gets. That’s the only ‘better’ I’ll ever need.”
