Your Not Hurting Me This Time Novels & Stories

"Isabella, do you see? It's always Sophia defending you, but you hurt her again and again. Don't you have a heart?" Huh! Keep pretending!

Jeffrey moved to strike him, but I stopped him with a hand. I shook off Harry's grip and said in a sharp tone, "My happiness has nothing to do with you. You said you never loved me, so why are you clinging to me now?" His body stiffened. After a moment, he stammered, "I only said those things out of anger because you hurt Ember's arm." A bitter laugh escaped me. "Harry, you didn't even bother to check before accusing me. From the moment you slapped me, whatever was between us ended. From now on, we'll go our separate ways."

"That's for bullying Audrey! Apologize now or forget about being my mate! And don't even think about setting foot inside our house today! Tell your parents to stop trying to force me into marking you!" I slowly stood, ignoring the pain, and looked them both dead in the eye. "I told you I'm not choosing you as my mate. I've chosen someone else as my mate." Just as I turned toward the door, the old Lycan King appeared at the entrance. "What's going on here?" he asked sternly. "Nothing," I said with a calm smile. Behind him stood Sven, dressed in a deep navy suit. He had recovered from his surgery and was now able to stand. Regal and composed, he radiated the commanding presence of a future Alp

He brought the worst side of me that I didn’t like. Adrian ignored me, came close to me and touched my bandage.” Are you hurting? Do you need me to get you something? I know that you haven’t forgiven me but let s’ not fight now. I don’t want to, okay. Let me just see you in peace.” I grumbled inside impatiently, feeling like I was suffocating.

“It wasn’t you, I promise it wasn’t.” “You froze,” He repeats, this time much clearer, like it only now just stuck. “I know you’re not him, it’s just—” “I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “I know,” I nod, wiping his tears again. “Look at me, I know you’d never hurt me, I don’t know why I reacted that way that time but I promise I’m okay,” I tell him, but she shakes his head. “I like your touch, I know I’m safe with you.”

“You don’t even want to try?” I let out a helpless chuckle. “I’m sorry, but I’m really not in the mind frame for that right now.” “So, it’s not because of anyone else?” “Hell no. There’s no one,” I promised him, and it was the truth. “Kellin, I really just want to focus on one thing as a time. It’s nothing against you; you’re a great guy…” He smirked, although it felt flat. “Ah, the classic 'It’s me, not you'.”

Then softer “I should have protected you from it.” That landed. Because that... That was the part that still hurt. Not what happened. But how it was allowed to happen. “I need time,” I said. “I know.” “I can’t just-” “I know,” he repeated. Silence. But this time- It wasn’t heavy. It was honest. “I’m not asking you to come back,” he added. “Not yet.” I looked at him. “Then what are you asking?” “Just don’t shut me out completely.”

His thumb brushed my cheek, wiping away a tear I hadn’t realized had fallen. “I’m sorry for whatever I said earlier. It was wrong. We’ll talk about it later. But one of the most important things right now is you. So I need you to hit me again. Give it your all. Don’t worry... I won’t feel much pain, and I heal fast.” “No.” I shook my head quickly, my voice firm even though my fingers were trembling. “I’m not hitting you again. Why would I?” His eyes darkened slightly, not with anger, but with focus.

"How the hell am I an abomination? Tell me, you sick bastard!" Bastian didn't reply. He only looked at the full moon, then suddenly pushed me off the rooftop. His smirking face was the last thing I saw before I hit the floor with a loud thud.

On the last day before college entrance exams, Tristan Kelley, the most popular guy in class, let out an ear-splitting shout. "Everyone, skip the exam! Sage will pay out 50 million dollars!" He held up his phone, showing an insurance agreement he had signed with Sage, the AI chatbot, for everyone to see. All we had to do was miss the exam and we would receive 50 million dollars in compensation. "We're all bound for the best universities. In the worst case, we can retake the exam next year. "This is 50 million dollars. Do you think you'll ever see that kind of money in your life?" In my previous life, I called the police right away. I explained until I was blue in the face that Sage was j
