Winter Rise

I made the decision to break up with Layla Freeman as I opened my eyes once more. She wanted to take Charles Jones and his son home so she could take care of them, so I would logically leave. I had a lot of arguments with Layla in my former life because of Charles and his son. She paid for Charles’ son’s wedding using the money I had saved for my retirement. Ultimately, the bitter cold killed me in the winter. When Layla found out about that, she was not filled with sadness. Rather, she accused me of dying on her godson’s wedding day. I would leave her and not have anything to do with her in this life.

With his hair as white as snow, blue eyes carrying weight as deep as the ocean and porcelain skin that looks almost translucent under the sun, Gavin has become his pack's subject of ridicule and abuse. At first it was just because of his appearance, and then he presented as an omega, the lowest of ranks, and it just only became worse. On top of that, he’s the only one who couldn’t even shift, a disgrace of a shifter who cannot even embrace their wolf. Living his whole life like this, he has come to accept it, and acknowledged that maybe this is really just his fate.A news of a pack visiting to look for their pack alpha’s son’s mate spreads like wild fire and soon after, everyone in his pack prepared of it. Everyone waited with bated breaths only for them to be beyond disappointed when the alpha’s eyes landed on Gavin, eyes glinting gold. With both packs unhappy with the turn of events, how would Gavin’s life turn out now? If only they knew who he really is, if only he knew, would he have allowed them to look down on him like this?In between disapproving looks and attempts to get rid of him, Gavin finds love whom he had ever only heard of before, the kind of love that people wrote and sang about, cried for, and died for.“Has anyone ever told you that you resemble snow? Your voice reminds me of it, gentle, almost crooning, but still cold. Even your scent, cinnamon and a bit like molasses. You greatly remind me of winter.”“Really? That’s lovely to hear. I love winter.”He smiles.“So do I.”

Angel membawa semua jiwaku pergi saat kematiannya. Kami saling mencintai tapi Tuhan lebih mencintainya. Aku tidak bisa menggantikannya dengan siapa pun. Aku benci menjadi pria tidak berguna, bahkan tidak bisa menyembuhkan penyakitnya. Atau mengurangi rasa sakit yang dideritanya. Penyakit Kanker serviks stadium akhir. Mengantarnya pada keabadian. Sampai gadis ceroboh tapi ceria mengusik ketenanganku... Aku sangat membencinya karena membuatku terpengaruh akan kehadirannya. Bahkan dia masih sangat belia...apalagi statusnya yang masih saudara sepupu dari iparku membuatku enggan menjalin hubungan dengan gadis itu. Aku berusaha mengabaikan kehadirannya, tapi semakin kuhindari dia seperti lintah menempel disisiku terus... Dasar gadis ceroboh keras kepala. Austin Gerald Klein Aku melihatnya dengan kekasihnya, wanita yang cantik dengan binar kebahagiaan di manik matanya, dia selalu tersenyum diantara kondisinya yang tidak sempurna, wanita itu bahkan duduk diatas kursi roda dan yang kudengar sedang sakit. Aku mencintai Austin sejak pertama kali bertemu. Tapi aku bukan gadis perusak suatu hubungan, aku tahu batasanku walau aku masih belia. Jadi kurasa aku hanya MENGAGUMI. Aku tidak mau bersaing dengan wanita yang bahkan sedang berjuang demi kesembuhannya, dan dia membutuhkan Austin untuk kesembuhannya. Aku berdoa untuk kebahagiaan mereka. Aku pergi menjauh membawa rasa patah hatiku. Cintaku harus layu sebelum berkembang. Amanda Patricia Dexter Aku bersyukur di sisa hidupku aku bisa melaluinya dengan orang yang paling kucintai. Aku merasa tidak pantas untuknya.... Tapi aku ingin egois untuk terakhir kalinya. Aku tak akan melepasmu Austin. Aku membutuhkanmu.... Aku tahu ada satu gadis yang harus patah hati karena kebersamaan kita. Maaf Amanda aku menyayangimu tapi aku akan mengakhiri hidupku bersama Austin . Hanya untuk sisa umurku, bersabarlah... Amanda - Austin. Angela Jennar

On the day of the company's annual gala, my CEO husband suddenly assigned me an unexpected business trip. The plane had barely touched down when I received a call from his young assistant. Before I could utter a word, her voice came through, "Matty, did you send Daphne on that business trip just so we could spend more time together?" And then, as if to hammer the nail deeper into my heart, I heard his unmistakable tone—light, indulgent, full of affection, "What do you think, silly girl?" Her laughter rang out before she teased, "Then tonight, let's try something new. I promise you'll be satisfied..." The call ended amidst a swirl of suggestive murmurs. Staring at my phone, I waged a silent war with the pain gripping my chest. Again and again, I dialed his number, each attempt met with either silence or the cruel finality of his phone being switched off. Finally, I let out a bitter laugh, tucking the phone away as if to bury the wound it carried. From that moment on, I resolved—no more questions, no more efforts to understand this man who had once been my whole world. But fate has its own irony. Later, it was he who came back, pleading, begging me to love him again.

“Elena,” he says. My name has never sounded more filthy. He slams the door shut behind him with a kick of his foot and I flinch. My hand remains behind my back, it is a good thing he does not notice that my hands are now free. He inches forward and I take as many steps back as I can until I hit the wall. He comes even closer until his ugly face is mere inches away from my own. I can smell the stench of his wolf as he roughly grabs me by the chin. I quake uncontrollably, it is as if a wave of parasitic worms has taken hold of me, his touch is repulsive as it is nauseating. This man, who is old enough to be my father leans in and smiles.
