CHAPTER ONE
Last Updated:
2024-06-01 19:02:31A glass vase was thrown across the room towards Samantha and she dodged as it was about hitting her head. A piece of the broken glass had pierced into her skin on her arm. She winced in pain as she moved to the other side of the room. She was trying to escape for her life. This is not the first time she is being abused by Jonathan, her husband for no apparent reason but this time there is a reason. She had served him divorce papers because she was totally done with the toxic marriage. She and Jonathan have been married for 3 years and she can proudly boast that she has never enjoyed her marriage. Jonathan had sent her to the hospital multiple times because of the domestic violence she had gone through.
He has warned her not to report him to the police or else he would hurt her mother. She had done everything to please him but it was never enough. It felt as if she was making the situation worse to please him. He had abused her physically and sexually.
She knew he was not going to take the divorce well but she didn't know he would threaten her life. “Stupid bitch”!! Jonathan screamed as he threw a chair towards her. She dodged it again but fell to the ground.The whole house was in disaray because jonathan has lost his cool. He then leapt towards her and grabbed her leg. Samantha screamed and tried to fight her way out of his hands. “Let go of me, you animal”. She cried out and kicked him. Jonathan let out a wicked chuckle and grabbed her with all his strength so she wouldn't wiggle her way out of his hands. He then slapped her twice on her face and she remained still. She started to bleed from her lips.
“So you have the guts to leave me! To serve me with divorce papers”!! he said with a wicked smile on his face. “How dare you?”
Samantha scoffed. “Fuck you, Jonathan!!” She wiped the blood off her lips. “I want out!!! I am tired of being your punching bag. I am leaving you one way or the other. This is not a marriage anymore”.
“You don't get to choose when to leave. Or have you forgotten our vows? For better or worse!!. He then lifted her up and pinned her to the wall.
Samantha's head was on fire. She was having a migraine and felt that she could pass out at any time. She had to get away from this monster. She’d rather die than remain in this disaster. She had blisters all over her body from the beatings she had gotten from her husband. How did she end up in this mess? There was a time she was in love with him. He was her world and she loved him deeply. Did he even ever love her? Their three year marriage has been disastrous and she couldn't take more. It is time for her to leave!!
“You have had your fun with me all these years. Or have you forgotten your vow to make me happy? We both know you never delivered!! You hurt me everytime you got the chance”. She said with tears streaming down her face. “Sign the goddamn papers. I am leaving you”!! she said looking at him in the eye
“So you are going to disobey me? You will go against my authority as a man. You are going……’’
“Oh shut the fuck up!! The only thing that makes you a man is because you were born as one. You do not act as one and you are a disgrace to your gender” she cut in.
Jonathan's wicked smile disappeared from his face and Samantha could see that he was extremely angry. Those words cut deep and he was going to react. She had to get away from him. Her hand reached for the picture frame beside her and hit his head with it. Jonathan growled in pain and held his head cursing her. She ran across the room to get to the door but she was not fast enough. Jonathan was bigger, stronger and faster and caught up with her. He threw her across the kitchen table making her hit all the bowls and plates on it. He grabbed her and pinned on the table. “The only way you are leaving me is by killing you” he said and grabbed her neck.
Before she could mutter a word, he put his two hands on her neck and started to strangle her. He was going to kill her and no one would know. Samantha tried to fight him but she wasn't strong enough. She couldn't breathe and felt her life slipping from her. Tears rolled down her eyes as she remembered that her mother was in the hospital. She had dementia. Who was going to take care of her after she was gone? There was no other family around.
Samantha kept gasping for breath as Jonathan kept choking and strangling her. She looked into his eyes pleadingly but all she could see was terror. This man had made up his mind at that instant to murder her. She was going to die. Her body was becoming limp and she couldn't fight anymore. This was it!!! She was leaving this cruel world. Her breathing was starting to cease and her vision was blurry. It was becoming white. Is this the after life? She couldn't see him anymore and couldn't feel her body? She heard a faint scream but couldn't fathom where it was coming from. Everywhere became pitch dark!!!! This is the end!!

The air felt fresh and without impurities. The flowers smelt so good. Summer was on the way and a sweet smelling flower is always a good sign. The weather was warm and it was a good day to lay on the beach and enjoy the sun. Samantha served herself with a fresh cold glass of lemonade as she sat down on her porch in her new home. “So this is what it means to live, '' she thought to herself. She had to go check on her mother at the senior citizens home. Her mother loved it there because she had old people around her and got to play checkers and chess. Her mom would be back home this weekend to spend time with her before returning back. She missed her mom. Dementia was a tough disease. She watched her mom slip away daily till she couldn't recognize her anymore. She is still her mom and no disease can change that. She didn't have much time for her earlier because she was trying to stay alive but now that life has given her a second chance, she intends to spend a lot of time with her mot

Daniel drove through the busy streets of the town. The town was always quite busy at night. People were done with their day’s work and wanted to rest with family and friends. He looked at the lady beside him, careful not to let her know. She had no idea that he was looking at her as she was staring outside her window. She was smiling and inhaling the fresh air. He also smiled to himself. Why was he drawn to her? He was never one to carry strangers to his house, especially human women. This one, he was very curious about. She had a glint of sadness in her eyes and he could hear how fast her heart was beating while they were talking about the couples earlier. Maybe she had a bad past but that was not why he was drawn to her. He had sighted her as he walked into the bar. He perceived her sweet perfume and shampoo. His wolf senses were up immediately he saw her. She looked beautiful with her cute shorts and sweater. Her wavy brown hair was packed into a high ponytail which made her faci

Daniel rolled in his sheets and was enjoying the sunlight on his face. He had a good night's rest. He opened his eyes and turned to his right side and saw the bed empty. She was gone. He sighed deeply and felt the sheets where she laid and could still perceive her sweet-smelling perfume on the bed. It was still warm and could still feel her presence in the room. It had been a long time since he felt this good and relaxed in the morning. He knew when she woke up and snuck out of his room without telling him. The popular walk of shame!!!! He felt it too which was why he acted as if he was still sleeping while she was busy escaping. He heard her hail a taxi to the bar so she could pick up her car. A werewolf's senses were ten times more heightened than a human’s senses. He had his own special abilities as a werewolf and they were more heightened because he is an alpha. There was no escaping without him knowing. He sighed to himself again. He had never done this before. A one night sta

The town library looked like a setting from “The Harry potter” movie. There were a lot of old books and creaky wooden chairs. This is the only library in town and not many people pay attention to the library. They get their news from their phones. No one wants to read in the library anymore, maybe just for research. Only a few people were in the library. Samantha was good with that. She didn't have to meet a lot of people. Her job was simple. She just had to issue a library card to people and take inventory of the books lent out. She was glad when they called her a week ago to resume. She finally got a job. The pay was fine. She could get used to a minimalist life. It's been three weeks since she went to the bar. She had no intention of going there anytime soon. She was avoiding a certain person. Geez!! A one night stand with a stranger. That wasn't her. This wasn't her style at all. She liked getting to know them personally before sleeping with them. She hasn't made any conne

“Lithmus kitus hilichan” The sisters chanted continuously without stopping. They were all dressed in red robes and red blood marked on their foreheads. The robes had hoods which covered their heads. They all sat down with their legs crossed and in a circle. They held their hands as they chanted together without pausing. They were deep inside the woods so they did not have to worry about anyone passing through in the dead of the night. The only sound you could hear wear their chants and the birds chirping. The leader of the group stood in the middle. She was in her early forties. She stood in the circle with her long black robe with thorns on it. There was a crown of daffodils flowers on her head and she stood in the circle holding a white lamp which was tied by the legs. She slaughtered the lamb at the neck as they chanted aloud. She took a calabash and allowed the blood from the lamb to pour inside. She inhaled deeply and dipped her finger inside the blood and put it in her mouth.

“Mom. You need to eat your veggies” Samantha said to her mother. Her mom was refusing to eat because she couldn't recognize her. “It's me. Samantha. Sam baby. I am your daughter” she said trying to convince the woman that she was her daughter. Dementia was tough. There were good days and bad days and some really bad days. She always made sure to keep pictures of her and her mom in her phone for times like this because she could relapse anytime and it would be a struggle for her to remember. She would definitely not remember but trust her when she sees those pictures.Samantha brought out her phone and started showing her mom the pictures of both of them together. It wasn't working. She sighed deeply. She brought her mother from the center to spend time with her for three days and it has been good. It's the last day today and the sickness hit hard. Her mother was like a child. She was crying and yelling because she had no idea where she was and couldn't recognize her child. Samantha wa

Samantha hurried towards her car after the meeting was over. There was something going on in the town and everyone was informed to be security conscious. The mayor had told them to tighten security and people shouldn't be out at night. She wasn't too worried because what exactly could happen in a small town?She scoffed and walked into her car. She was trying to leave so Danny wouldn't see her. After the meeting, he had walked up to the mayor and she saw it as her chance to bolt and took it. She turned the key to ignite the engine of the car and there was no sound. The car engine didn't come up. “What the fuck?!”, she exclaimed. She tried it again but nothing. It made a funny sound and stopped. She ran her hand through her hair. She looked at her fuel tank indicator and saw that it was low.“Way to go Samantha!!” She said to herself. She totally forgot to fill her tank and now she was stranded. She'll have to call a cab or hitch a ride. This was so much inconvenience for one day. She
