What Does It Mean To Be A Hufflepuff

After my sister died, my parents forced me into a ten-year contract with my Alpha brother-in-law, Ethan Brooks. I became Luna in name only—and stepmother to his ten-year-old son, Daniel. At the Full Moon Festival, they placed on me my dead sister’s crown—her favorite. And in front of the entire pack, Daniel splashed holy water across my face, that cold smirk a mirror of his father’s. "Don’t think becoming Luna means you can replace my mother! You’re just a thief! What gives you the right to host our festival? You should strip naked and get out of me and Dad’s pack!" The holy water was ice-cold. And staring at the child I’d raised for ten years, all I felt was… relief. Fine. The agreement’s over—I’m leaving. But then why, after I walked away, are both Ethan and Daniel suddenly begging me to return?

Did I believe in love at first sight? No. never. I'd laugh at the idea. But you little hellion proved me wrong. You think you're vulnerable? I have changed up my entire game plan in the last 2 days just to get close to you." That's it. That's the moment that changed everything.

" How do the dead come back to life?" Hazel queried when she met her supposed dead husband at her sister's engagement party. The man she mourned for five years has been alive and well.

For a second he couldn't believe it, he stood there staring at her dumbfounded, his emotions went from anger to pain to anger again then back to pain. "Why?". His voice barely came out, he was afraid if it came out loud then it'd be as a roar. "What's your excuse for all this?". "I....I don't want to live anymore, I'm tired". She cried. "I've been tired for a long time now Raysham". Unable to control himself he grabbed her shoulder and backed her against the counter so there was no gap between them. "That is not an excuse!". He almost yelled. "That is not a fucking excuse!". She said nothing, just sobbed and sniffled quietly. "You are a coward Sayya, you lost faith in us, in yourself, Sayya you gave up on everything!". He said. Tears pricked his vision but he forced them back by blinking. "Yes you have been through a lot but you had absolutely no right to do that, you should have spoken to someone, if you hated me so much that you couldn't talk to me then you should have at least told Hytham!". He said. "My life isn't worth living Raysham, you know it!". She cried. "I don't know! All I know is that in months to come I will sit alone and grieve knowing you did this to us, I will grieve knowing you caused the pain". He said.

BLURB Niloko ng childhood sweetheart slash fiancé at ng matagal na bestfriend, iyon ang mapait na sinapit ni Persephone. Pero imbes na umiyak at magmukmok, sa mismong gabi ng engagement nila kung saan iniwan siya ng fiancé, nagdesisyon siyang gumanti sa paraang hindi inaasahan. Kumuha siya ng gigolo para gawing pansamantalang lover. At first, satisfied naman siya sa boytoy niya. Pero nang bumalik ang fiancé niyang si Narcissus, napilitan siyang hiwalayan ang lalaki at bigyan ito ng malaking halaga kapalit ng tuluyang pagkawala.

Nakasuot ito ng mamahaling suit, malamig ang titig, at puno ng authority ang presensya. Ang gigolo na binayaran niya noon. “You can't recognize me, Ma'am Persephone?” malamig na tanong nito. “W-Why are you here?” kabadong sagot ni Persephone. Ngumiti lang ang lalaki. “Of course, to claim the little seductress who ran away from me.” Ngayon lang ni Persephone napagtanto... ang akala niyang boytoy ay isang misteryosong zillionaire na may mas malaking plano para sa kanya.

Habang ang mga dati niyang officemates ay nakahanap agad ng bagong trabaho, siya naman ay naiwan na walang income, baon sa utang, at hinahabol ng bills at loan collectors.

They met once before. Isang gabi lang. Isang pagkakamali na kumitil sa kanyang pagkabirhen, at pagkatapos noon ay iniwan siya ni Rev na parang wala lang nangyari. Simula noon, isinumpa na niya ang pangalan ng lalaki. Pero ngayong lugmok siya, siya rin ang taong muling kahaharapin niya.
