Novel & Cerita No Longer A Pushover

It was a full-scale invasion. “Fall back!” one of the higher-ranking warriors shouted. “We need reinforcements!” My legs burned with the effort as I retreated, covering the wounded as we moved deeper into the pack’s territory. The once-quiet homestead was now alive with the sound of battle, and I could feel the weight of failure pressing down on me. The peaceful break I had been given was shattered, replaced with this unexpected rogue invasion. The rogues have broken through the borders, and now we're just trying to survive.

She immediately groaned in pain, unable to get up from the floor. “Oldie, you’re well aware of how you’ve treated me all these years, but I won’t be upset with it since you’re still my grandmother. However, now that all of you are unwilling to acknowledge me, then I do not need to treat you with respect as I would my grandmother. I am not a kind person, so don’t expect me to show you any mercy just because of your old age. You’ve already offended me. If you say anything again, I’ll break every bone in your body!”

he said suddenly. “Well, are you moving?” I asked. “What do you mean?” he said, frowning. “You told me I’m pushing you,” I said calmly, “so I wanted to know if the fact that I was pushing you had any actual effect.” “You know what?” he said, his voice shifting, heavy with frustration. “I’m so tired of this new attitude with you, where I have to fight you for everything." " And so am I. As long as you keep talking to me and thinking of me as an idiot, you’re going to have a problem.”

I asked, my voice rising slightly, my grip on the power tightening without me meaning to. “Push it further,” he said. Something in my chest twisted. “Further,” I repeated, disbelief creeping in. “You want me to push it further after what happened yesterday, are you serious right now.” “You stopped it yesterday.” “That doesn’t mean I won’t fuck it up today,” I shot back, my voice tighter, something raw slipping through. “You think this just gets easier overnight or something, because it doesn’t, it feels worse.” Silence settled as he stepped closer, not enough to touch, just enough that I felt it, that presence, that pressure.

Tonight we didn’t break. We didn’t fall. We didn’t give them what they wanted. And that? That’s a win. For now.

It literally is just a flicker of my power that I need to push in. “On the far end, he is pushed towards the wall and he stays glued to the wall.” “I told you I'm not the same Maria you knew before.” I'm not the same person who you could tell what to do. I will make everyone know in this pack! I say to him, as I step out of the house to make my voice known.

Real ones. I looked at Adrian slowly. “This isn’t over,” I said. “No,” he replied quietly. “It’s evolved.” And somewhere in the city— Julian was no longer testing belief. He was preparing impact.

Too late. He pushes himself off the counter with a smile her way to walk to me, shoving me with him as he does so and gets one back in retaliation. Arrick is still in shithead mode, taking pleasure from pushing me around this morning. I guess he’s missed it these last few months and making up for lost time with overkill.

“Not listening.” I frowned. “That doesn’t make sense.” “It will.” I looked away. Because I didn’t want to admit the fact that he wasn’t wrong. Again. “Why does everyone think I’m about to break?” I asked quietly. Kaiden didn’t hesitate. “Because we’ve seen what happens when you push like this.” “I’m not pushing the same way.” “You are.” “I’m not.” “You are,” he repeated. “Just more controlled.” I swallowed. “That’s supposed to be a good thing.”

Sophia pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Isabella crouched on the ground at a glance. She sneered sarcastically, her gaze even more venomous. Upon hearing the sound, Isabella took a breath, controlled her emotions, and locked eyes with Sophia. No matter how embarrassed she was, she would never let Sophia be proud! She stood up and walked out, but Sophia followed her, sneering provocatively, "Don't think that Aiden's like this is because he loves you? He's just using this kind of thing to humiliate you. He will never compare you to me. Do you really want to know where your dad is buried now?"
