The Collected Regrets Of Clover Novels & Stories

ENID THE PERFECT DISTRACTION Clover was on the phone when I moved from Mildred. I scratched my forehead feeling my fingers tingle from the sensation of holding her chin in a tight grip. My motive was to knock off a tooth so it could be a constant reminder of what could happen the next time she dared to cross the line. "You're late!" Clover heaved a sigh into the phone, "Remy's here with a few elders." "Five more minutes and I'm there." I cleared my throat and started towards the door.

‘She doesn’t know who we are,’ Clover whimpers, pulling at her lavender colored hair, showing more fear than I’ve ever seen in her. “I’m right here Raven, I’m not leaving you,” I whisper, trying to calm her down, wishing I knew how to take her pain. ‘Gideon, like with Gideon… sink your claws into her to drain her she’s full of power and life!’ Clover squeals almost happily, as I look over at her watching her dance around the bodies. “Clover now is not the time!” I growl at her, trying to understand how she could be happy when everything has gone straight to hell so fast.

Her gaze softened, though there was still something unsettled behind it. “But at what cost?” she whispered. “Because when it’s over… when you’re alone again… you’re the one left holding all of it. The memories, the marks, the questions.” Chloe leaned back slightly, staring at the ceiling now. “I don’t think Clara regrets it,” she said slowly. “Not really. And that’s the part that stays with me. She knows how far she went… and she still said yes again.” A small, almost conflicted smile touched her lips.

Clover’s tired voice dragged me back to the present. I looked around me. We were in the graveyard like I told my mate we would be. Clover was scared of graveyards. It was one place she had been chained to when she was kidnapped in the past. She swore she saw ghosts rise out of the graves at night so she never came here. I had ensured she never had reason to be in a graveyard but today, I brought her myself. We were right next to her grave even. I had it dug already. “You know I am scared of this place. If you are not going to kill me, then let’s leave here,” she said in a cool voice that betrayed her fear. “Valens –“

Rowan's words shattered my heart completely. I let out a bitter laugh, turned, and walked away without looking back. Someone once told me that promises were the most useless things in the world—what mattered was action. I never believed it before, but now, I did. I took a cab to the Rivers, planning to see Patrick and leave after that. Halfway there, I received a video call from Jeremy Harding. "Angela, look at the tulips by the side of the road—they're so beautiful. Coriland is amazing. Are you really not coming back?"

"I don't care. But make sure of one thing. Never regret your decisions right now. Because the way you're doing this might end up with something that will only hurt the both of us." Callum turned around. And left. Elise stood frozen in place. She watched her husband's back disappear down the hallway, then smiled bitterly. "Elise Voss," Elise whispered softly. "It seems I can finally accept that name now... after hearing it from you."

Like I told you last time, I don't have any friends besides Domaine. He broke up with that girl he chose over me. He's single and showing signs that we have to got back together. But I don't know what to answer. He didn't clear it up to me yet. I got my pair of shorts. A floral corset then throw in my converse black and white shoes. I grabbed my wallet, cards and phone. Also a hankie and a sanitizer. Almost forgot the tissues and wipes. I closed the door to my room then I saw my brother staring at me.

We were a few steps away from our dorm room when Gretchen stopped me and said "Briar, I don't know if your decision is right or not, but I still support you if it makes you happy, even though I know you're going to regret it later." It was clearly visible she was upset, and I couldn't say anything instead of just nodding at her words. Yes, I can't leave him, to be more precise, I don't want to leave him. We came to our dorm and soon it was evening, because so much happened in just a few hours, my mind was exhausted. I didn't feel like letting myself think about anything, I just wanted to sleep. Everything was fine, but since it's impossible for my life to continue to be steady or even ideal,

“Clover, what do you think?” “Oh, I see how it is. Only speak when spoken to. I can only give my option when it’s asked for. It’s not like I want the body I’m stuck in to stay safe or anything.” “CLOVER!” Fuck, she is getting worse. She lets out a long sigh. “The trees more cover.” “Thank you that was what I was thinking too but I wanted your input.”
