The Supporting Duck Waiting For The Breakup Novels & Stories

When I refused to see him, he started waiting outside my door day and night. Through the peephole, I saw the way he barely had a shut-eye, afraid I'd slip out while he wasn't looking. I eventually caved after three days. Ian stopped contacting Francesca for the next three years. It was also the happiest three years we've been together. Once, I was involved in a car accident. It wasn't anything serious, but I was unfortunately left with a broken leg. The moment Ian found out, he immediately ended his meeting early to fly back. With the direct flights sold out, he took connecting flights and travelled for over 10 hours instead.

before the sinking sun drowned my phone screen in amber light. Back in my dorm, my wolf Gloria snarled inside my head: "You're really going? After everything?" "I have to," I shot back. "If we want to keep this pup safe, we need to cut all ties first. Dinner gets him to sign the papers. Then, when we're oceans apart..." Her growl vibrated through me. "And after? You think he'll just let his cub go?" I bared my teeth at the mirror. "By then, it'll be too late for him to do anything about it."

The river behind her rose, full of teeth and wedding music. Ava held the paper rooster like she could not believe this was her life. "If that thing crows," she said, "I am retiring." The rooster opened one paper eye. "Please don't antagonize our emergency chicken," I choked. Then dawn tore through the river. It crowed once, a sound so bright it cut the river-dark. Dawn flashed across the dock. Every Below-Prayer hand recoiled. The bride screamed, loosening her sleeve. "Name!" I shouted.

after a deep breath. Hang in there, Dawn. Don't lose hope; I know it's hard. “I’m at a point where I just want to do it because it's been too long, and I'm lost. Brushing a stray strand from Dawn's face, Malachi cupped her cheeks, pulling her near until their foreheads touched. "Dawn," he murmured, "you can't shoulder everything alone. Let others help, you're only one person. You cannot endure all that pain because it is going to break you if you let it. Dawn, as your friend, know that my love and support are unwavering. Malachi leaned in to kiss her forehead.

Narrowing down at what they are looking at, her eyes dilated and she began scratching Mike’s arms. “Mike, the buck has a mate” His infectious whisper has seeped into her. They wouldn’t want to spook the animals in this place. Oblivion, the buck, and his mate are also bemused by the pair on the opposing cliff. They both froze in time with the sun, shining bright on their faces. After a while, they retreat from that cliff edge. Facing the waterfall, Mike took off his shirt, belt, and watch, emptied out his pocket; carelessly dropping them on the fluffy ground.

I knew he would be upset, disappointed, and most probably, angry with me. In what felt like a dozen hours too soon the sun began to set. The sky turned pink and orange, streaked with shades of purple and red. It was beautiful, in a painful sort of way. I hated it. Eventually, I found myself pulling up to Jessica's house. At that moment, I felt like I needed someone to talk to, someone who might understand what I was going through and Jessica was the only one who made it to the front of my thoughts. Jessica... Jessica had always been a pillar of support for me, and in that moment, all I needed was someone to tell me it would be okay. I guess I knew I was not getting anything like that from Za

This time, she let herself lean on his strength, just a little. As they walked back to the bar, Duke’s crew emerged, forming a protective circle around them. Valentina felt their silent support like a physical presence. “Everything okay, boss?” Axel asked, eyes scanning the parking lot. Duke’s hand tightened around hers. “No. But it will be.” The promise in his voice, the determination—it made her believe, just for a moment, that they could face whatever came next. Together. Back inside, Patty and Sandy waited anxiously at their table. Duke led Valentina past them, toward the rear exit.

he never had to worry about. Tonight, I didn't cry. I didn't throw a fit. I just calmly typed back: "The mating banquet is over. We are done." I hit send, turned off my phone, and walked back to the penthouse we had shared for seven years. Julian didn't reply all night. The next morning, I went to the pack’s central clinic to hand over my files. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw a scene that froze me in my tracks. Julian was sitting on a stone bench in the garden. He was draping his own jacket over a shivering Chloe, holding her wrist to channel his Alpha energy into her. Bathed in the morning light, anyone who didn’t know better would think they were fated mates.

And he was there for her, to support her every step of the way. As they stood there, holding each other, Adelaide felt a sense of sadness and loss wash over her. She knew that she would never see Lucas again, that he was really gone. And that thought was almost too much for her to bear. But as she looked up at Mino, she saw the love and support in his eyes. And she knew that she wasn't alone, that she had him to lean on. And with that thought, she felt a sense of peace wash over her, a sense of knowing that she would get through this, no matter what.

I captioned the picture " I finally got what I wanted❤️🔥" After we took the picture we finally left the restroom and we all just decided to watch a movie. After thirty minutes everybody fell asleep beside me and Jack. It was about 4:35am and we were both wide awake. We didn't do anything but talk and I was okay with that because if I was with him there was no place I'd rather be. We were on the verge of falling to sleep when his phone rang, it was Madison...and she did not sound happy.
