The Last Embrace Novels & Stories

His deep voice rang in my ears and I raised my eyes to look at him. I stared at his flawless face for a while and sneered "Was that a hug? A hug, huh? I saw you demanding your suit from your Beta, you even wore gloves, and you covered every part of you except your face when you hugged me, Alpha. You made sure our bodies wouldn't touch no matter what!"

I turned my face away because if I looked at him any longer, I was afraid my anger would crumble before my grief. A second later, his arms came around me once more. This time I did not struggle immediately, not because I welcomed it, but because something about the embrace felt different. It no longer carried the desperate force of a man trying to stop me from leaving. It felt like the broken hold of someone clutching the last thing keeping him alive. His body trembled faintly against mine. His breathing was uneven near my ear. Then I felt his lips press into my hair, lingering there as though he was imprinting one final piece of me into his memory before letting go.

He wiped my tears away with the pad of his thumb with his lips tugged into a small yet visible smile. *End of flashback* "Hi." was all I could say manage to say, embarrassed at the memory of our last encounter.

Instead, we remained lost in the sweet intimacy of our embrace, cherishing every stolen second, etching it into the depths of our memories. But as all good things must come to an end, Levi's gentle voice pierced the tranquility, tinged with a note of regret. "Jasmine, I really have to go now," he whispered, his tone filled with longing. "But remember, I'll always be thinking of you, even when we're apart." Reluctantly, I pulled away from his embrace, the loss of his touch already aching within me. With watery eyes and a trembling smile, I nodded, understanding the necessity of his departure. "I know," I whispered, my voice filled with unspoken promises.

I said with a fake smile, but my voice was shaky with emotions and tears were streaming down my face. I saw a twitch in his eyes as they welled up with tears as well. He pressed his lips together, and in a sudden motion, he embraced me in a hug. I was shocked. Atlas had never hugged me before. But now, he held me tightly. It truly felt like a goodbye, so I wrapped my arms around him and broke into tears, hugging him back just as tightly. This was our last moment. I knew that after this, I was going to lose him forever.

He said pulling me with for a hug, where I placed my head on his chest hoping to feel the last of my nerves before stepping out. “Once this is over, we can finally, be the mates we deserve. For months we’ve been fighting either each other or others who have wished to pull us apart. But after this, it’s our time.” I smile looking up at him as we held each other, an even bigger smile on his lips as he looked down at me. “I cannot wait.” He smiled placing such a loving kiss on my lips before we held each other again, our last embrace before the biggest of all wars was set to engulf our lives.

She giggled when she was tickled by their flapping wings against her face. Theo smiled first before answering. Maddie takes away all his stress from ruling even with just her smile. "This is the sanctuary of the novis flam." Maddie turned around and her brows met as she cannot understand the last phrase Theo said. "The what?" Theo pointed to the fountain with his hand and Maddie followed it with her eyes. "The last flame." Maddie nodded before she looked at Theo. "Last? What do you mean by that?" Theo asked her to sit on the nearby bench. The guards are scattered around the place but no one is near them. Somehow they got some privacy which put Maddie at ease. She glanced at the fountain firs

Samuel said as he tightened his embrace around Olive. Olive placed her hands on top of his, which were wrapped around her waist, while her eyes sparkled at Zack's enjoyment of the cars. "Oh, I wish he'd say something quickly," Olive says. "The last time we heard his voice was when we were driving him home." Her voice was tinged with melancholy. "I wish it wasn't the last time," Olive sighed." I want to hear his voice again, but this time in a joyous tone."

"But this is for our future, Iris. I'll come back for you, I promise." "I believe you," I said, looking up at him. "I just don't know how I'm going to cope without you here." "You'll be okay," Felix said, smiling reassuringly. "You're strong, Iris. And we'll be together again soon enough." I nodded, taking a deep breath to steady my emotions. I didn't want to spend our last hours together crying and upset. Instead, we spent the rest of the day talking and laughing, reliving our favorite memories together. We ordered takeout and watched one last movie, cuddled up on the couch.

Her spine broke, and it's even a miracle that she is alive at this time. Now we have found a donor, but where would two million come from? I left the hospital, walked to the roadside, and hailed a cab. “Take me to the 90ties clubhouse,” I said as I got in and closed the door of the cab. When we got there, I gave him a ten-dollar note and asked him to keep the change. I can’t believe I’m being so generous today; it must be what people feel when their whole world is collapsing.
