Novel & Cerita Protect Your Peace

The house was alive with the rhythm of life itself, a rhythm we had fought to preserve. By late afternoon, we found ourselves back on the balcony, sipping tea and watching the waves glitter under the sun’s fading glow. The baby had fallen asleep, and Leo leaned against Sebastian, tired but content. “I think this is what peace feels like,” I said softly, glancing at Sebastian. “Not the absence of danger, but the presence of love. And trust. And family.” Sebastian nodded, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Exactly. That’s why we endure. That’s why we protect what we love. Peace isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build. And we’ve built it, together.”

Just breathing. I breathe with it. In. Out. The moon does not bleed tonight. The Goddess is silent tonight. I know this is temporary. I am five years old and I am already old enough to understand that things that seem settled have a way of becoming unsettled, that peace is not a state you arrive at and remain in but a thing you make and protect and remake, every day, with the people who matter enough to make it with. I know there is more coming.

My surroundings has this white blurry filter that makes everything seem lighter than they apply , but I am also able to see them in colour as I know what they look like in the real world. ‘What now!?’ I feel my self think , which echoes in side my mind but also in my dream. I feel my self crack the tensed knots in my neck , readying my self to face what ever monster who enters my mind trying to steal my peace. ‘Bring it on’ I say once again , my mind ready to defend the absolute peace that it had been enjoying for more than a week. By peace I mean being alone and blissfully happy with no confusion , no painful arguments with people , no feelings of insecurity or feeling of rejection from any

She nodded. "I'm sorry I've been so freaked out recently. I promise I'll get better. No more running off. I may not like or even understand why you do things the way you do, but how much right do I have to bitch if I just walk away and do nothing? You keep the peace. And these guys don't follow you out of fear. They respect you and they like you. I've had worse bosses in my life."

The sight of new growth emerging from soil once trampled by defensive formations felt symbolic somehow. "Copper for your thoughts?" Kane's voice came from behind me, followed by his warm presence at my back. "Just appreciating the quiet," I replied, leaning into him as his arms encircled my waist. "It's strange how unfamiliar it feels." "Peace often requires more adjustment than crisis," he observed, his chin resting on my shoulder. "During a crisis, the path is clear—survive, protect, overcome. But peace... peace demands we define our own purpose."

Only those who start wars can experience the joy and pleasure that victory gives. I looked at the beautiful moon; she was alone in the dark sky. The Moon Goddess might be there watching over us. The night is supposed to be a time for rest, but virtually all the male wolves are battling tonight to defend this pack and drive away the enemies disrupting the tranquility. I sat on the balcony of the room. If war broke out early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I would go to the peace house on the mountain, which was set up for those who wished to stay away from the war.

(Ashley’s POV) “Bless this place. May peace dwell within. Protect those that I welcome to enter. Oh spirit of my Witch ancestors, surrounding my place with your protection, day and night” I whispered a spell and blew the surrounding with my one deep breath. A sense of calmness and peace was felt, making me smile with content. I could feel the presence of my protectors looking after me in this world. I felt safe again.

“You should choose yourself.” I blinked repeatedly. “What?” “If you truly believe you’re the third party, and he isn't doing anything to guard your feelings…” Her voice remained calm. “Then remove yourself, before you lose yourself along the line.” My chest tightened. “That’s not easy.” “I know.” She smiled gently. “It’s probably the hardest thing you could do.” I stared at the floor. “But you deserve peace.” she continued. Her words hit something deep inside me. “Even if walking away breaks your heart,” she continued softly, “sometimes it’s the only way to protect yourself, unless you're so sure you still belong with him.”

assistant"> Julia — First-Person POV I used to think peace would feel loud. Like fireworks. Like victory. Like some grand moment where the world finally stopped hurting. But real peace? It was quiet. It lived in soft mornings and sleepy smiles. In the tiny sounds our son made while sleeping against my chest. In the warmth of Alan’s hand resting on my waist in the middle of the night, as if even in sleep he needed to make sure I was still there. Alive. Safe.

There is no guilt in choosing peace over people. You were friends or lovers. You both had a great time. But things changed. It became hell. Some things were your fault. And some things were their fault. What matters is that it was not working out. You were unhappy. You were hurt. You felt betrayed. You felt unappreciated. You felt suffocated. And you lost your peace. Whatever may be the reason. You are allowed to walk away from people. You tried to make it work. But you were not their mother. You did not keep them in the womb for nine months. You are not supposed to be a selfless, caring angel. They are not your responsibility to bear forever. You have all the right to close the door and lea
