Novel & Cerita Mertuaku Yang Perkasa

Her words made perfect sense, and I might have been doing it unconsciously. "So what am I supposed to do?" I asked, eager to know how I could get stronger. *Stop seeing yourself as weak. Embrace the memories of this body; merge them with your own. You have the instincts of a warrior right at your fingertips, but you’re afraid to use them because you think you’re still that girl who died without a fight. If you keep resisting, you’ll never unlock your true potential.* Akira was turning into a mentor of sorts, but her words made sense to me.

He spoke again, "No matter how smart they know you, that doesn't make me afraid to fight you, Eros—" Eros manage to scoffs to snap him, "If... if you're really strong, w-why did you two of us use something that can protect you? You... you used your tentacles to tighten your clutch on me. B-Because what? Because you know that you can't resist me, and you are consumed by the fact that from before, I am... stronger than you."

I detailed the strength that coursed through our veins, forged through countless challenges, and our resilience in the face of adversity. “With every battle we have faced, our pack has grown stronger,” I continued, my words dripping with confidence. “We have overcome obstacles that seemed insurmountable, emerging with the taste of victory on our lips. Your feeble attempts to intimidate us will not succeed, for we are the Athens pack, and our spirits cannot be broken.”

The pack howled. "Marcus thinks he can destroy us. He thinks we're weak. He thinks we'll break. But he's wrong. We're not weak. We're not going to break. We're going to win. We're going to stand our ground. We're going to protect what's ours. We're going to protect each other. We're going to protect our home." The pack howled louder. I walked to the front. Stood beside Kael. My voice was steady. Strong. Full of love.

I am strong. And I will not let fear rule me.

Through sheer determination, I summoned the strength to muster a response. Gritting my teeth against the searing pain, I locked eyes with Eros, a fierce determination burning in my gaze. "Is this the best you can do?" I growled through clenched jaws, my voice laced with defiance. "You underestimate my resilience. This pain only fuels my resolve to protect what I hold dear. You will not succeed in breaking me."

It courses through me and it takes everything with it, and I am more than I can take, more than I can hold together, more than I can be. My muscles are a raw and intense and dangerous reminder of the change, and the strength, the power and the intensity. My muscles are and I am, I don’t know how to be Mara in this, and in this life, in this night, in this strength, and this pull, and this power. The force of it is unbearable, but I try to be.

“ – we are triple all that.” Everyone stared at me. Some of them blinked slowly but I didn’t stop. “We are stronger. We are faster. We are smarter. We are tougher. And we don’t back down. Remember Skylark? They said we would lose. What happened? We crushed them.” Jace looked up at me. I could see the fire starting to burn in his eyes. “We are unshakable!” I shouted. “Yeah!” Marvin said. “We are unmovable!” “Yes!” Daniel added with a squeal.

‌Lorenzo⁠’‍s eyes bored into mine in the r⁠eflection. "Y⁠ou c​anno‌t be weak tonight. You cannot⁠ look at m‌e with soft ey⁠es. Yo⁠u c‌annot look for​ my approval. You have t​o be ice. Can you d‍o that?" I‌ straigh​tened my⁠ spin⁠e, lean‌ing back‍ agains⁠t his chest. I drew strength⁠ from his hardness. "I am a Moret‍t‍i⁠,‌" I sai‍d‌. "⁠I do‌n't break.⁠"
