New Edition If It Isn't Love Novels & Stories

A new beginning, a promise born from the boundless power of love. *** (END)

Because sometimes the twist in love isn’t reunion It’s revelation

Is there somewhere else that's better for you? What is love if you're not here with me? What is love if it's not guaranteed? What is love if it just ups and leaves? What is love if you're not here no more? What is love if you're not really sure? What is love? What is love? Told myself I wouldn't cry when you're gone But I know it's easier said than done Look at me, look at me, choked up now Try to tell you but it won't come out

Madelyn was silent, unsure of how to broach the subject with him, "I'm sorry, I–I just can't compensate you." Zach's gaze instantly turned cold and piercing. "You know I don't want to hear these things from you. Madelyn, we're a married couple now. What you need to tell me isn't apologies or sorry. It's I love you!" Madelyn's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly stood up, choosing to ignore his words. She said, "I might have set the ring down somewhere and had forgotten where. I'll try to look around. Maybe I'll find it one of these days."

“No I don’t really want her around us even locked up. Let me compel her, make her forget she ever loved you and plant the seed of a new happy life far away from us. We are partly responsible for her pain it’s the kindest solution all round, don’t you think?” I give a little chuckle “And the simplest!” Why on earth had that not crossed my mind! “Where is she now?” Lia asks with an eagerness that once more makes me want to chuckle, here and now, like this she looks exactly like the innocent beautiful human girl I first fell in love with.

A crumpled bedsheet. The caption read: [Finally… with the love of my life.]

I close my eyes and take a deep breath “You know you could not take me from him, there was no way you could do it. Because he would have killed you. But I've been kidnapped from your care and home too many times.” The word sits in the air for a second and he processes the words too late. “Now you're here.” “Because I chose to walk away. I chose to lie to him, it's a mistake I'll never repeat again.” He chuckles. “You think there's a future between you two?” “He loves me, I know there's a future.” Jaylen laughs this time, he almost snorts. “Mikhail and love do not go hand in hand. He was not designed to love anyone.”

“This ends now.” ***

The peace. If I claimed her, the land would heal. Our people would eat again. We could survive. But I saw something else too— Mike’s letter. The threat. The warning. Sera would be their first target. The Luna of Nox. The sister of a traitor. If I accepted her, I would hand the Skoll pack the perfect key to destroy me. So I stepped forward and said it. "You can never be my mate! You can never get my love!" Her eyes broke. But I didn’t stop. I held her waist, pulled her close, just for a second. And then walked away like she was nothing.

Cold sweat coated her body and her fingers trembled as she opened the blinds and replaced the closed sign with an open one. Jeffrey was thoughtful enough to have cleaned things up before she returned to work, so there was no sign of what occurred. He even managed to have fresh flowers in a vase waiting for her. It had a card declaring his love attached to the vase. She smiled and hugged the card close to her heart. He was the love of her life and he stayed with her even though she was no longer beautiful. She couldn’t believe her good fortune.
