When He Disappears Let Him Go Novels & Stories

“Let go of her.” My voice cuts through the noise before I even realize I’ve spoken. The man’s grip tightens around her arm instead. She flinches. That’s all it takes. The room disappears. The music, the laughter, the empty conversations—gone. Replaced by a sharp, rising tension coiling in my chest like a warning I can’t ignore. “I said,” I repeat, slower this time, stepping closer, “let go of her.” The man turns to me, irritation flashing across his face—until he recognizes me.

"What I said. Once this storm is over I will be leaving." "Where are you going? Why?" Why does he sound concerned? "I dont know yet, maybe New York. Im going because it's the best thing for everyone. I don't want Tom getting caught in the middle of anything. I don't want to cause any trouble in your parent's home and I don't want to deal with your bullshit tantrums anymore." "Bullshit tantrums! Are you kidding me? We both know that you are hiding stuff so don't do that, don't make out like I'm not on to something when we both know I am!"

Regret laced his face once again making a hint of sadness to line his face. "Well you can't. The past is the past. You lost me when you had me. Now it's time to let me go Lucian" "That's the thing" he said stepping closer to me placing his hands on my chin, his head meeting my forehead as he spoke. "I can't seem to let you go Clarissa. I WON'T" He declared with a firm tone. One that he wasn't willing to change or go back on.

That pulled him away, and he eventually started dating Helga. Now, he wondered if he had misunderstood me all these years. His fingers tightened around the letter, and he cried. I had already started work. After saying goodbye to my mother, I deleted all my contact info. Unbeknownst to me, Shawn kept the box of stuff around. He bawled his eyes out and kicked Helga out of the house. Even though she cried as hard as she could, he wouldn't even spare her a look. How ironic. When he told the guards to take me out right after that final confession, he probably did not see this coming. Me neither.

*The message* Dr. Emma Taylor's eyes widened as she stared at the cryptic message on her phone: "They're watching me. I have to escape." The words sent a chill down her spine. It was from her sister, Sarah, who had been missing for weeks. Emma's mind racing, she replayed the events leading up to Sarah's disappearance. They had been arguing about their estranged father, and Sarah had been acting strangely in the days before she vanished. Emma had dismissed it as paranoia, but now she wondered if something more sinister was at play.

"Hello, we've detected unusually high spending on your account. Some transactions are currently in a pre-authorized state and have not yet officially settled. May I confirm if these were made by you?" My tone was apathetic. "No. Freeze all accounts under my name immediately." … Early the next morning, the Crosses slipped away without so much as a goodbye, avoiding me as if they were dodging trouble. Even though I had been unwell and suffering from dizziness the night before, not a single wolf bothered to check on me. I slept fitfully the entire day, and when I finally woke up, my whole body still felt incredibly weak. My phone kept buzzing with notifications as Rita kept posting updates on I

“You mean disappearing completely. Gone for good.” I gave a small nod without hesitation. “Yes. That is exactly what I mean.” He released a slow breath and let out a quiet whistle while leaning back in his chair. “That is a serious request, Lora,” he said while shaking his head slightly. “Making someone disappear like that is not simple. It becomes even more difficult when Jasper is watching everyone so closely and controlling every movement around him. Right now he does not trust anyone easily, and he keeps a close eye on everything that happens in this place.”

I was an expert at it. He watched me, I watched him back. "Forget it," he finally spoke. "You can go," he dismissed. I stared blankly, trying to hide my shock. He was really letting me go? Just like that? I offered him a strained smile and made to stand up. "I don't know the way out." I stalled, hoping. For what ? I don’t know.

“Take her home and take care of her. Make sure she’s safe.” “What?” I ask incredulously. He can’t be serious right now. He turns to the rest of them. “Tomorrow night.” He says, then without waiting for a reply or a glance at me or even a goodbye, he disappears into thin air, just like that. I breathe heavily, my heart feeling like there’s a weight the size of the whole world on it. Tears begin to fall and I struggle to breathe. The weight of everything falling on my shoulders and I fall to my knees in tears.

He thinks he can vanish. He thinks I’ll just let him walk away. He has no idea who he’s dealing with.
