Ready To Love Novels & Stories

It wasn’t much, but it was something. “I don’t know if I’m ready,” she repeated, but this time it didn’t sound quite so certain. “I’ll wait,” I said. “As long as it takes.” And for the first time in a long while, I felt like I had said exactly what needed to be said. No more pretenses. No more games. Just the truth. The truth that I had learned the hard way—love wasn’t about promises. It was about being there, showing up, day after day. And I was ready to show up for her.

Now the moon is big and bright, I love these nights. I walk up to Jason and sit next to him on the rock. It's completely flat and looks like a real seat, it's like a small armchair without a backrest. "You haven't tasted even a little" Claim, seeing my glass full to the top, just as he handed it to me. "I just don't like. . ." "How do you know if you don't like it if you haven't even tried anything?" I try to argue but finally I agree. "Try it. . ."

"Faye, the only one I love is you. I'll marry no one else. As for anyone else—don't even think about it." Bella touched her burning cheek and let out a small, bitter smile. She took the hint and quietly left, but just as she stepped out, she heard their voices. "She already donated her liver to you. Would donating a kidney now be dangerous?" Bella paused mid-step. A part of her still hoped for his answer. But it shattered the next second. "You know me, Faye. I don't care what happens to anyone else. I only want you to get better. That's all that matters."

I whisper. I glance at the clock and jump to my feet. “Oh no! I’m going to be late. Love you!” I grab my bag and dart out the door. Sliding into my Tesla Model S—a birthday gift from Dad last year—I start the engine and play Gracie Abrams' “Mess It Up” on full volume. Her music has a way of pulling at emotions, the same way my mom’s voice used to. Pulling into Rockwell Academy, I park and take a deep breath. “Okay, Lara. It’s senior year. Juilliard is just around the corner. Let’s do this.”

"Don't you think that's absurd? How do you even expect I go about that without eventually getting my ass arrested?" "Listen, it's so simple. You just have to make him fall in love with you and make it hard for him to leave you. After that stage is gone, you just make sure to get pregnant for him and boom, it's all settle. We'll be in riches," "You think that it easy? Why don't you go ahead with your "simple little plan with Mr Ceo" yourself and we shall see the highest bid of your result,"

he replied with naked pains in his eyes. I turned back to the window looking up at the starry sky. "I'm not going to be that kind of alpha that will leave her people suffering just to get back at an enemy. Today, I, Ava White, solemnly promise to get married to the blood moon alpha." I said in so much authority and determination and I knew, there was no turning back for me. ******************

She said smiling and wiping my tears again, I understood so I nodded and hugged her tightly to me with my eyes shut. “I love you so much I’ll see when my time is up and will do as you say and give you lots of grandkids who will know everything about you, and tell daddy you love him and your happy for him, I’ll also tell her that you are grateful for taking care of me. I will enjoy my life with my family and love more than anything else just like you.” I said to her in one breath in tears because now I understood I was the reason I was stuck in this darkness because I wanted to stay with the past but also wanted to move to my future but I had to stop wanting the past and let it help me with m

She wondered if any of them were still out there, living stories she hadn’t finished. Raegan pulled out her phone and opened her Notes app. The cursor blinked at her, patient and expectant. For a moment, she hesitated, fingers hovering. Then she typed: This is not love, not the kind I dreamed of. This is staying quiet to keep someone from leaving. This is setting myself on fire just to light the way for them. She stopped, heart racing. Her throat tightened. It wasn’t much. It wasn’t polished or gentle or safe. But it was hers.

I took a step closer “But Kyle…” My voice softened “Don’t say you love me unless you’re ready to fight for me. Not against me. For me.” His hand lifted, hesitant, like he wasn’t sure he was allowed. Then his fingers brushed against my cheek. Soft. Shaky. Like I was something sacred. “I’m ready,” he whispered, his voice barely more than breath. “I don’t know what that means yet, but… I’m ready.” And maybe a part of me believed him.

“I’m… not ready. I don’t even know if I’ll ever be.” Noah’s smile didn’t falter. “That’s okay,” he said simply. “I’m not waiting for the version of you that’s ready to love me—I’m waiting for the version that remembers how to love herself.” Tears welled in Natalie’s eyes before she could stop them. She blinked quickly, but one slipped free, trailing silently down her cheek. “Oh, come on,” Noah said with a soft laugh, rising from his seat. “Don’t be a crybaby. You know I hate seeing you cry.”
