Military Break Letters Novels & Stories

Chapter 07 | Memories ~×~×~×~ |AVA SANDERS| I woke up feeling like my head would fall and roll on the floor once I tried to get up. It was like someone had been smashing my head with a hammer. I'm surprised it was still intact on my neck. “Avie!” I almost had a heart attack when the door of my room burst open, I'm afraid it'd break after a second. My eyes couldn't even properly move open when I heard my friend's heavy footsteps coming near me. I closed my eyes and put all my weight on my comfy bed as I put my right arm over my eyes, completely ignoring Mira's furious aura.

I took a pen and crossed a line through Cassius' name. Eighteen left.

Nathan: The moment Alpha King Josh announced that Fallon could keep the uniform, something shifted inside me. Flashback I sat on the couch, staring at the envelope resting in my hands. The military emblem printed in the corner had been burned into my mind long before I had even torn it open. I had spent the last ten minutes reading the same few lines over and over, hoping they would somehow change, hoping I would suddenly realize I had read them wrong. But it never happened. ‘We regret to inform you–’

"But tonight, I don't want to think about work. Tonight, I just want this. You." He pulls me close, and I let him. Tomorrow I will go back to reality. Tomorrow I will face the mess of my broken engagement and my shattered plans. But tonight, I am just Evelyn. Not someone's fiancée or someone's employee or someone's disappointment. Just Evelyn. I wake up to sunlight streaming through the windows and an empty bed. I sit up, disoriented, and spot a note on the pillow next to me. *I had to take a call. Coffee is in the kitchen. Help yourself to whatever you need. - R*

He took the pen and wrote three words at the top: Our New Start. "Slower," Ethan said softly, writing the word down on the page. "No rushing. No artificial deadlines." "Sweet," Adrian added gently, his fingers resting over Ethan’s hand. "Just our family, our real friends, and the people who actually care about us." "And grounded in total openness," Ethan said, looking up into Adrian’s eyes. "No secrets. No corporate politics. Just you and me." "Just you and me," Adrian repeated like a solemn vow.

She stepped back, pulse racing, breath caught in her throat. She didn’t scream. She didn’t tell Milo. Something about it felt like a secret she wasn’t ready to share. Not yet. --- Footsteps echoed through the hall. A soldier, limping and bloodied, burst into the study. Emilie startled. Milo followed a second later, calm as a shadow. The soldier dropped something onto the desk. A scrap of paper. Blood-soaked. Folded once. Milo picked it up, unfolded it with steady fingers. Four words, written in a rushed, shaking hand:

She opened it s‍tanding in the front hall, coat still on. ‌NOTIC‍E‍ OF DEFAULT AND INTENT TO FORECLOSE. She r‌ead the to⁠p line. Read it ag‌ain. The⁠ letter was for⁠mal⁠ and precise, the k‌ind written by peop‌le who wrote t‍his exact lett‍er every day.‌ It was‍ named th‌e property⁠. It named the am‍ount o‌wed. Thirty days to cure⁠ the default‍, or th‍e len‌der would proceed.

"I have told that you are a soldier but are you really? Look at your body. You're so thin and you don't have enough muscles. With your appearance, how come that you manage to enter the military?" There is no brake on his mouth. The students practicing in this group suddenly fell silent. They looked at Brandon and me with measuring eyes. I felt very irritated by what he said. He didn't insult me ​​but I could hear the deep doubt in his voice. I like honest person but this kind of honesty pisses me off the most. Brutally honest. Doesn't care about the place and the time as long as he can say what he wants to say. He hurts feelings and on top of that, he embarrasses the person he's talking to i

Kael staggered, eyes blazing. “What are you doing?” Timothy shouted hoarsely. The envoy raised his hand, a rune glowing bright red. “Activating the failsafe.” Failsafe. The word barely formed before agony ripped through me again—deeper this time, targeted. I felt something pull on the bond, like fingers trying to pry it apart. “No!” Myron roared, struggling to his feet. “Stop!” Kael moved faster than I thought possible. He lunged, slamming into the envoy, knocking him flat. The rune shattered with a sound like breaking glass.

There is not even an ounce of confidence in his voice, but we are out of time to wait so he can prep better. We make it to the Alpha's office within only a couple minutes. I am out of my mind filled with nervousness, yet I don't let the Alpha see it. Being a warrior has taught me how to push my emotions to the side and get down to business. I knock three times to let him know we are here. We hear a loud 'come in' to enter his office. We take a quick glance at eachother before walking in. It's now or never. "Alpha Jones." We say at the same time with a slight bow to show our respect. Wouldn't wanna start off on a bad note even though he doesn't deserve any respect.
