Lost Parents Guide Novels & Stories

POV: Catherine The news came through the network at dawn. Transmission lost. No further contact. Thelma and Xavier presumed unmade. I was drinking coffee when Luna's message arrived. The cup slipped from my hands, shattering on the kitchen floor. Rowan caught me before I fell. "They're gone," I whispered. "Mom and Dad are gone." He held me while I broke. Fifty-four years old and I cried like a child who'd lost everything. Because I had. My parents. My foundation. The two people who'd shown me what love and sacrifice meant.

Liam is sobbing in my arms, "and I want my mum." "I miss them too; I miss them so much," I say, "but they are not coming back. But at least they left me with their greatest gift; they left me, you, and Lyra. I know it hurts, but we will be alright because I've got you, and you've got me." Liam starts sobbing even harder, and I feel Luca’s tears on my shoulder. I let them cry; honestly, since my parents died, we didn't have time to grieve.

Losing my momma and poppa was like losing the air in my lungs. I was so depressed that I just couldn’t see the light until I was finally found by my abuela. She was still living in Puerto Rico and couldn’t be tracked down for over half a year. She had no clue about my parent’s deaths. For me it was like being rescued after being lost in darkness for months.”

Gabe's mother said as she walked towards her, wearing that shattered smile. "Your parents, your real family, they were our closest friends when they were still alive. We witnessed your parents' love story," she shared as she chuckled with bitterness. "That time, we went abroad for a vacation. It was the day that your mother also gave birth to you. Before that, she told me to guide you, and if I only knew that she was already saying goodbye that time, I should have not left the country…maybe I was able to protect them from the Valestine who erased them. But when we came back, we just found out that they are all dead—all of them. They told us that the baby also died that night…" she shook her

**Trigger warning*** Smut*18+ content Laura Sterling “You promised you’d always be here… Why did you leave me?” My voice shattered into a broken sob as I clutched the silver-framed photograph against my chest like it was the only thing keeping my heart from splintering completely. My parents smiled back at me...Daddy’s proud, steady gaze, Mom’s soft warmth, my brothers standing tall and full of life. They were supposed to be my anchor. Now they were gone, ripped away forever in that merciless plane crash, leaving behind a silence so deep it swallowed me whole.

he whispered softly, his eyes filled with genuine curiosity. Katie's voice trembled as she spoke, her words carrying the weight of both love and loss. "My mother was the embodiment of kindness and unconditional love. She taught me to be resilient, to find strength in the face of adversity. But she left this world too soon, leaving me with a longing that I can't seem to escape." Sean took her hand in his, offering his support. "I can't replace your mother, Katie, but I can be here for you. Together, we can honor her memory and find a way to heal."

Nico paused only a second. “My mom taught me.” The instructor smiled and ruffled his hair. “Then your mom did a good job.” Nico looked pleased in a way I had not seen for a long time. He did not glance toward the door. He did not look around to see who else had heard it. He just took his water bottle and walked over to me. That night, a package arrived at the clinic. There was no note, only the Moretti crest stamped into the lid. Inside was a child-sized training watch, custom made and expensive enough to feel insulting.

She hissed, "It was you! You brought the dogs! You destroyed my parents' grave! You wouldn't let them rest in peace, even in death! I'm going to kill you!" The gathered relatives completely erupted. Everyone surrounded them, cursing at the two who were now fighting each other. "You animals! Those were your own parents!" "For a pretty boy, you even desecrated your own parents' graves!" "How did the Gardner family end up with someone like you, so heartless and disgusting?!" The shouting, crying, and barking all mixed as the cemetery fell into chaos. I coldly watched everything unfold, then took out my phone and, in front of all the relatives, played a video.

"She said you wouldn't have survived on your own." Maya's chest ached at the pain in his voice. "I didn't want to believe it," he continued. "But months went by. A year. Two. And there was nothing. No trace. Eventually I had to accept that either you were gone, or you'd hidden yourself so well that you never wanted to be found." His eyes met hers, and the devastation in them was raw. "And the worst part? I understood. My pack had never been kind. My parents treated you like you were nothing. You had every reason to run and make damn sure I never found you."

"The stupidest thing I ever did was let you go, Sadie. I'm back this time to marry you and start a family. I'm here to do what we didn't manage to do three years ago." Sadie was careful not to anger Connor. He was acting like a crazy man who could do anything. "Blake is still downstairs, Connor. You know how powerful the Walkers are. Don't make this mistake."
