Never Leave Me Alone Novels & Stories

“Fine. Wait for me.” He shot me a glance, left a single “Get some rest,” and walked out without another word of explanation.

“It’s alright. Things will get better.” For the first time in years, I felt what it was like to be cared for. At the same time, far away in Blackwood territory, Drake tasted abandonment for the first time. Neither he nor Scarlett ever received the apology they were waiting for. By the time they remembered me, the healing ward was already empty. I had long since cut off every moon-energy connection tied to Blackwood territory. I left behind all the moonstone coins I had saved over the years, along with a farewell letter at Drake’s cabin.

God, I am going crazy. "Why did you leave me? You know I don't want you to! I'm so scared, alone, pissed and disappointed! How could you do this to me?" I stomp my foot and hugged myself closer. 'Shhh, stop it now' "You're so unfair! You leave me here alone; you leave me to fend for myself. You know that I need you. You're my rock, my savior but you don't even care!" I cried and I can't help but whimper.

Not for any of it. You’ve always carried more weight than anyone should have to, and I was too blind to see how much it hurt you to keep pretending you were fine. I should’ve stayed. I should’ve listened. But instead, I made everything worse by leaving you to face it alone. And here I am leaving you all alone once again to face something that scares you. I have to admit that this is one of those moments when I hated being who I am. The Alpha that everyone looks up to. How could I not when I couldn’t be with the most important person in my life?

The look in his eyes flickered between panic and hesitation, but mostly, there was a terrifying indifference. The world around me started to blur. "Chris, aren't we going to save Alice?" "Jennifer, one kidney is not enough for you. You need both. Don't worry, Alice only has her mom and no other relatives. No one cares even if she dies." Although I had already given up on him, hearing those words still stung. So this was how blind I'd been all along. Tears slid down my cheeks as the world around me slowly dimmed. Just before I lost consciousness completely, I seemed to hear hurried footsteps and someone yelling at the top of their lungs.

"Just another hour, and we probably could've saved it." The doctor's pitying look lingered in my thoughts. Jerry noticed me zoning out. His forehead wrinkled as he took a step toward me, like he was about to ask what was wrong. Then his phone buzzed. The second he saw the notification, his face brightened. He spun around and vanished into the living room. My best friend, Kate Moore, let me use her account to check out the pack's new group chat. Everyone was there, except me. My eyes locked onto a photo of a couple watching the sunset, their silhouettes forming a heart with their hands.

"Your power is still unstable." Aria bit her lip. She knew Lorian was right, but seeing Rael in this state made her feel useless. Lorian hoisted Rael onto his shoulder. "We need to leave before more of them come." Aria nodded, though her legs felt shaky. She glanced toward the spot where Vaelin had disappeared. His gaze still haunted her—like he could see straight into her soul. This wasn’t over. With unsteady steps, they left the place behind. ---

Alicia would return in an urn. … Julian drove to the airport. Alicia kept talking to him, but he barely responded. The despondency in his face told her that his heart and soul were still with Willow. Still, it was enough that she had him with her, albeit only physically. He turned on the radio, which happened to play a sad song called "Is This How We Lose Each Other". The lyrics went like this: "We just brushed past each other. He said nothing when he left. But do the silent ones not cry?

She checked her phone and glanced at the message that she had sent to three different people. "Mom, Dad, and Stephen, you three are my family. I love you three a lot. But I apologize for not informing you before making such an important decision in my life. I am leaving this pack. I understand it will be difficult for you to accept, but I have to leave. I want to travel and study abroad. I want to live independently and establish myself. Don't worry, Mom, I am not a kid. So do not be concerned about me. I will be fine, I promise. Do not worry if you can not reach me at this number. I will contact you soon." Ava let out a deep breath. She was using a new phone since her last phone was broken.

I ignore the mess of the party and I follow Alana into Zee's room. She tells me I should sleep for a while and calm down, but really I just cry in his bed until the sun starts to rise. This is it, it's really over. Zee left, he gave up on me. And he kept his word, he left me alone,all alone. But now I'm realizing that I don't want that. I don't want him to leave me alone. I want... to be happy, damn it. And I don’t know if I’d be able to be happy if I don’t have him. It sounds impossible.
