Wedding Day TreasonFlora's heart pounded as she stood in the sun- drenched foyer of the large hall, her voice pulsing with excitement and nervous anticipation." I can not believe the moment is eventually here," she breathed to her closest friend, Marissa, who gripped her hand tightly.Marissa replied," I know, Flora. You are gorgeous. This is your dream day, the day you've always pictured of, the day you earn.".At a distance, guests' voices mixed with horselaugh, and indeed all of the whispery words sounded as if they carried an element of festivity with them. Yet within festivity, Flora's eyes danced towards the door in expedients that she'd see Adrian walking down the aisle, his aspect concentrated only on her.The door to the bachelor's chesterfield creaked vocally open at just this moment. Out came Adrian, his own face etched with solicitude and distraction. His friend Jared whisked over to him, bruiting ," Adrian, you sure you are ready for this? We are counting on you, man."A
A Dream Shattered" Flora, may I've a minute?" Marissa asked, approaching Flora, her tone soft and uncertain." Of course," Flora replied, her voice shaking as she tried to keep her cool." What is the matter?"Marissa's eyes were full of concern." I was told that Alice would be coming moment, and I just wanted to let you know.".Flora's heart skipped a beat." Alice?" she heaved , the name sour on her lips." I allowed I'd closed that runner of my life."A cold wave, mocking voice cut across the buzz of the crowd drawn around." Oh, Flora, you did believe in puck tales, did not you?Flora bristled, and her eyes snapped towards the speaker. Alice was standing by the door, a vicious smile trickling from her lips." Alice," Flora fought, her voice pulsing with rage and anguish.Alice smiled gently, her voice light and riding." I am then to remind you of a little verity, dear. After all, how can you ever forget the treason that changed everything?"There was a buzz of embarrassment in the ro
The FalloutFlora took up the lone corner of a black, unornamented café outside of the glistering halls of the Alpha pack, her voice pulsing as she spoke to her dearest friend ever, Marissa." I noway imagined that I would be then, down from it. I noway imagined that I would leave that world before," she confessed, her voice cracking in anguish.Marissa reached over the small, war- torn table and grasped Flora's hand." I know, Flora. You need time — time to heal and figure out who you're now that each that glamour and glamour is not around your neck." She was soft and genuine, and it was seasoned with the familiarity born of having participated times together during good times and bad.Flora's eyes grew wet as she spoke in a slightly audible tale," Every day, I wake up with recollections of that day — the gapes, the hushed cuts. I flash back the look on everybody's face when Adrian stood me up, and Alice's horselaugh in my head. It's as though the world decided to smirch me, and I stil
A Father's Final WordsFlora sat motionless in the salon of a simple boarding house down from the chaos of her own history. The soft hum of an old radio gave some quiet distance between her thoughts, and in the silence, her mind went back to when her father's words had thrilled and soaked her. As she goggled blankly at the rumpled snap of him on the mantel, her inner voice mingled with graphic flashbacks that played out like hushed exchanges in the quiet of her heart." I flash back the way he used to say to me,' Flora, my child, every fall is a chance to rise advanced,'" she spoke vocally, her voice pulsing with a blend of pang and pain. Her friend, Marissa, who had sat opposite her in the room, glanced up with sympathetic concern." You are talking about the night before you went down from home, when you prayed him not to let the world break you?" Marissa questioned, her tone filled with understanding.Flora sluggishly jounced, gashes filling her eyes as she replied," Yes, I flash b
The Road To Independence" Flora, are you sure you are ready to do this?" Marissa asked still as they squinched in a shadowy alcove of a small boîte eatery, the sound of dishes chinking and muted hum of other patrons drifting around them like ambient noise.Flora's voice was firm but pigmented with moping sadness," I am well and truly ready, Marissa. I have spent far too long caching behind what other people wanted me to be. I can no longer pretend that I am part of a world which only sees the value in me for someone differently's ambition.".Marissa leaned forward, her eyes surveying Flora's face with a blend of admiration and concern." But leaving everything behind — this is a huge step. What if out there you're more misplaced than when you began?Flora shook her head, a firmness in her voice." I have lost too important time formerly. Every disturbing moment, every snickering put- down, it's all reminded me of something I was noway permitted to be me. I am finished being controlled
New Onsets" Flora, are you ready for moment's session?" Coach Ramirez asked as gentle early morning sun filtered vocally through the training hall windows." Yes, Coach," Flora replied, her voice steady but with a hint of nervous anticipation." I have awaited so long for this."." Flash back, this is n't just an issue of physical strength," Coach Ramirez said, leaning forward with a warm smile." It's an issue of having the courage to stand alone. And you, Flora, have that courage in spades."Flora's eyes burned with resoluteness as she said," I know, and moment I am going to prove it — to the world, and to myself. I've to show that I can make a future on my own terms."" Good," intruded Marissa, her friend who had come along to advance support." We have all seen you struggle with the history, with all those heavy prospects. moment, you are reshaping your story."" Precisely," Flora answered, her voice growing more determined." I have been held back long enough by other people's prosp
The ceiling of the Dark Fang pack’s great hall shines with a thousand lights, illuminating the hall with warmth, the ambience ethereal, smelling and showing luxury with the perfect designs used in its decoration for the biggest event the pack has had in over a decade, the Alpha’s wedding.Flora, the Alpha’s bride stares at the a gigantic arch on the altar, decorated by her most favourite flowers and a trickle of tears run down her eyes, she smiles sadly, her heart clenching in pain as she turns her attention to the walls mounted full stretch by led TVs displaying beautiful pre-wedding pictures of her and Alpha Adrian.She shifts her gaze upwards to stare at the blinding lights before staring back at her feet in a desolate manner as she stands on them, the many empty seats in front of her that teemed with smiling guests a few hours ago mirror exactly how she feels within.Empty.Today was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, if she got to marry the man she loved for a decade, n
Flora pushes the door to their apart— his apartment open, heaving a sad sigh. It's his house, not hers. A place where she lived for three years, but never felt like home. She thought she could finally feel that after today, but in the end, he failed her.She was never meant to have a home in this house, she has been living in a fantasy, one she must now snap out of.She slides off her wedding dress as she enters her room, her eyes red and puffy as she glares at it on the floor with a frown on her face.She grabs a shirt from the wardrobe and the smell of Adrian that hangs on it overwhelmingly comforts her, she sighs, sags her shoulders and stares at it for a moment before she presses it against her nose, inhaling his smell deeply and tears spill out of her eyes, her heart clenching in pain as she sobs into the shirt.Why did he have to do this to her?They belonged together, she gave him everything, her spirit, soul and body. If her feelings towards him before knowing she was his mat

Destined HasslesFlora and Adrian squinched in the quiet of the emulsion's reverse room, their voices little more than a murmur as though not wishing to break the fragile peace that had grown between them. It was late — so late that indeed the perpetual drone of distant exertion had desisted — and yet every judgment they uttered was laced with an intensity that belied the hour." Flora," Adrian began, his voice low and reflective," I could not help but wonder how we met. It's as if fate itself had conspired to bring us into each other's lives, indeed if everything differently around us fell piecemeal." He ran a hand through his hair, his aspect searching hers for some participated understanding.Flora shifted away for a bit of a alternate, gathering her thoughts." I comprehend," she said vocally." occasionally I feel like I am walking the tightrope between anticipation and what I truly ask . And also you walked into my life, and for a detail while, I could nearly dare dream of a futu
Unexplored WaysFlora sat in the quiet corner of the safehouse, the far- out murmurs of talk girding her slightly reaching her ears as ideas of her history and uncertain future were tangled within. also the door creaked open and Adrian stepped in, his eyes broad hers as if trying to read an implied language only she could speak." Flora, I noway allowed that I would see you then so soon," he said vocally, his tone one of surprise and something which was soft and made her skip a beat in her heart.Flora smiled noiselessly, her voice pulsing a bit as she replied," Neither did I, Adrian. It seems that fate has a mind of its own, does it not? I am still trying to figure out whether I am chasing fortune or just lost in the maze of free will."Adrian's eyes flitted with understanding." I know, I have been doing the same myself. We both are hampered by patrimonies importing on us like unseen impediment insolvable to throw off." And yet, I caught sight of you this autumn, it was as if for one
The Weight Of ProspectsFlora leaned against the gleam of the lighted beacon on the small table in the hushed common room, her mind a worried swell. The bruiting voices in the background was like a fading echo, yet within, her family's weighty heritage smothered her like a distance of heavy sword. She wore the burden of anticipation of her father's rise to former glory — a heritage always that sounded like a guiding lamp and an added burden.“ Flora, you’ve been quiet all evening, ” Adrian remarked, his tone gentle yet laced with concern as he joined her at the small table. “ What’s on your mind? ”Flora looked up, her eyes conveying a blend of vulnerability and determination." I keep allowing of all the effects that I should have done," she spoke in a tale, hardly audible." About how my pater erected his empire from scrape and also lost everything. He always used to tell me that our family was fated to reclaim its honor and that I was the only stopgap.".Adrian leaned back, blowing s
