The Woman Who Survived Him 소설 & 이야기

The wording was wrong. Too specific. Her breathing slowed dangerously. “What if the crash didn’t kill me?” she whispered. Silence dropped like a blade. Her husband stared at her. “What are you saying?” “What if I survived the impact.” “And?” “And something happened after.” The air felt thinner. He stepped closer. “There’s no record of that.” “There wouldn’t be.” A long pause. “If I survived initially,” she continued, “and someone reached the vehicle before emergency response…” He didn’t finish the thought.

"You don't know that." "I know you. Despite all that Dexter did, I know you who laughed so hard at my bad jokes that you snorted. That Eva is still in there. I've seen her. I've held her. And I am not letting Dexter bury her alive." My eyes burned. She blinked furiously, refusing to let the tears fall. "The woman you're describing died the night he turned me. I'm what's left. A ghost wearing her face." "No." Max cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing away a tear she hadn't realized had escaped. "You're her survivor. And survivors get to choose their next battle."

“No, Mother. She’s alive. She’s alive, and she’s coming for all of us.” Evelyn’s face drained of color. “What nonsense are you saying?” she whispered. “I saw her today,” he said through clenched teeth. “With my own eyes. She sat in that damn meeting room — alive, confident, powerful — watching me fall apart. She survived, Mum! The woman you told me to destroy, the one you made me hate — she’s alive!” Evelyn staggered backward, her knees shaking. “No… that’s not possible. She—she can’t be…”

Except she was supposed to be gone. The old woman stopped several feet away. "You remember me." The former King's face darkened. "That's impossible." The woman smiled sadly. "No." A pause. "Not impossible." The silver light around her flickered. "Necessary." The clearing remained silent. The old woman looked toward Nova. Love filled her expression instantly. "You survived." Nova looked confused. "I don't know you." The woman's smile trembled. "No." A tear slid down her cheek. "But I know you."

Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths. Still alive. I stood over her, looking down at the woman who'd once been my wife. The woman I'd loved, used, and destroyed. The woman who'd somehow clawed her way back from death to haunt me. "You should have stayed gone," I said quietly. Her eyes fluttered but didn't open. A soft moan escaped her lips. I knelt beside her, studying her face. Even unconscious, even bloodied and broken, there was something defiant about her. Something that refused to surrender.

Years. Years of believing she was gone. Years of mourning. Years of silence. And now she was standing there. Alive. Breathing. Speaking. Existing in a world they thought had lost her forever. “…She’s alive.” Her knees almost gave slightly as she reached for the chair behind her, sitting down slowly, her eyes never leaving the screen. “She’s alive…” Her voice broke again a sob slipping through. Her husband exhaled deeply, running a hand over his face. “…She survived.”

She takes a deep breath again and holds my hand. “Everybody died… including you,” She said in almost a whisper. I shook my head because I couldn't believe what I heard. When a scene flashes in my head about the falling bus. I start remembering what happened. “What?” I asked her while looking straight into her eyes. “Yes, Honey, They are all dead and I am lucky because you came back from death” She answered and almost cried because she was happy that I am alive. “All of us?” I asked again “But not anymore… because you are alive… you are the only survivor... God gave you back” She said while crying but she didn’t understand. I don’t want Jayvee dead.

"Ma, I can't just throw her out. Vincent took a bullet meant for me. If he hadn't stepped in, I'd be the one in the ground. He's gone, and Isabella is the only family he left behind. I'm not leaving his widow out there with a target on her back. I'll talk to Sophia when she wakes up." "You know Sophia. She won't see a widow. She'll see another woman in her house." My eyes snapped open. I went still. Then the truth hit me. I was back. Ten years before everything went to hell. None of it had happened yet. This time, I would survive. So would my family. Anna, Lucas's mother, rushed to my bedside. "Sophia, thank God you're awake. Don't worry, I've already made myself clear to Lucas. I won't let

But it seemed that he was not allowed to think and stroll in peace. "She's not." The Alpha's eyes bulged in disbelief. He was looking for anything that would tell him the woman was joking but her expression was as tough and serious as he'd ever seen on an old person. "W-what do you mean she's not?" "She survived. She's alive." The old woman continued with the same expression blanketing her old, haggard face. "Y-you mean Xylia is alive?" His mind was already swirling in thoughts. "Yes, and if you want, your pack can return to its state of wealth and strength as before."

Lee asked. "Why can't it be broken? Human's marriage are always broken by divorce, werewolves bonds are broken when another male or females place their mark over the previous mate's mark. This is not much different, I am sure there is some way for this bond to be broken and you could be with your wife as soon as we find her." "What about you?" Lee asked. "What about me? I could survive, I have survived an explosion that should have killed me and yet I am here, so why can't I survive without you? It is not like we did anything to make me feel disrespected," Anna said.
