Late Bloomer Hero AFTER THE SORRY
As Lila sat alone at the small café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods enveloped her, but her senses were numb. The gentle hum of conversation and clinking cups faded into the background as her mind replayed the encounter with Sebastian.She felt the sting of rejection, like a slap on her cheek, leaving her skin tingling. The memory of Sebastian's words, "I can't be with you," echoed in her mind, each syllable a tiny pinprick on her heart.Lila's gaze drifted to the empty chair across from her, where Sebastian had sat just moments before. She remembered the way his eyes had locked onto hers, filled with a mix of sadness and resolve. The scent of his cologne, a subtle blend of spices and woods, lingered in the air, taunting her.Her fingers traced the pattern on the tabletop, feeling the smooth wood beneath her fingertips. She recalled the touch of Sebastian's hand, the gentle brush of his fingers against hers, sending shivers down her spine.Lila's eyes wandered to th

She felt a sense of liberation, of freedom, as the train carried her towards a new destination, a new chapter in her life.As the train rumbled on, Lila's thoughts drifted back to Sebastian, and she couldn't help but remember how she had pursued him with such determination. She had been so convinced that he was the one for her, and she had stopped at nothing to make him hers.Lila's eyes dropped, her gaze fixed on her hands as she recalled how she had subtly, but intentionally, cut off other women who had shown interest in Sebastian. She had been so focused on winning his heart that she hadn't considered the possibility of losing him.A pang of regret hit her, and Lila wondered if she had been too aggressive, too pushy. Had she scared him off? Had she misread the signs, misinterpreted his kindness for something more?The train whistle blew, and Lila's thoughts were interrupted. She look
Late Bloomer Hero WE ARE JUST FRIENDS
Her father picked up the phone and dialed a number, his eyes fixed on Lila as he waited for the call to connect. "Ah, Sebastian, my boy," he said, his voice warm and friendly. "I hope you're doing well. I wanted to discuss a potential business opportunity with you. Perhaps we could meet for lunch this week?" Lila's eyes widened as she listened to her father's side of the conversation. She couldn't believe he was already making moves to bring her and Sebastian together. "Excellent, excellent," her father said, nodding his head. "I'll have my assistant send over the details. Oh, and Sebastian? I think it would be beneficial for Lila to join us as well. She's been showing a keen interest in the company's dealings, and I think her insights would be valuable." Lila felt a surge of excitement mixed with nerves. She knew this was her chance to get close to Sebastian again, to prove to him that she was the right person for him. Her father hung up the phone and turned to her, a sly sm

After escaping from Sebastian and Scott, Ava's feet pounded against the earth, her heart racing with every step. She could feel Sebastian's eyes on her, his determination to catch her. But she wouldn't be caught. Not again.As she ran, the forest blurred around her - the trees became a green and brown haze, the sounds of birds and rustling leaves a distant hum. Her senses narrowed to the thrill of the chase, the rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins."Nadia, help me," Ava whispered, her inner wolf stirring."We are strong, Ava," Nadia replied, her voice a low growl. "We will not be caught."Ava's legs pumped faster, her breath coming in short gasps. She could feel Nadia's power coursing through her, urging her on."Remember the pain, Ava," Nadia snarled. "Remember the betrayal. We will not trust him."Ava's mind flashed back to the day she was banished, the memory still raw and painful. She had trusted Sebastian, and he had failed her."No, Nadia," Ava panted. "I won't forget.

Becca grinned as she led Ava through the charming streets of Wetcreek. "Welcome to our little town! I'm so excited to show you around." Ava's eyes widened as she took in the quaint shops and bustling market square. "It's so picturesque! I love it." Becca chuckled. "I'm glad you like it. Okay, first stop, we need to get you some new clothes. You can't wear those traveler's rags forever!" Ava laughed as Becca dragged her into a cozy boutique. They spent the next hour trying on dresses and giggling over silly hats. After shopping, Becca took Ava to her favorite café, where they indulged in delicious pastries and coffee. Ava marveled at the friendly faces and warm atmosphere. As they strolled through the town, Becca pointed out important landmarks and introduced Ava to key figures.

What brings you here today?"Becca smiled. "Hi, Rachel! I'm here with Ava, she's new in town and needs to register with the council."Rachel's eyes lit up. "Ah, welcome Ava! We don't get many new faces here. Let's get you registered."Ava filled out the necessary forms, providing her name, age, and occupation.

As Max's eyes crinkled at the corners, Ava's heart skipped another beat. She was lost in his gaze, unable to look away. But before she could muster a reply, Becca intervened."Ava, we really should get going," Becca said, her voice laced with a hint of urgency. "We have guests arriving at the lodging house soon, and we still need to prepare the rooms."Ava hesitated, reluctant to tear her gaze away from Max. But Becca's firm grip on her arm gently tugged her away."It was lovely meeting you, Max," Becca said with a warm smile. "Perhaps we'll see you around town?"Max nodded, his eyes still locked on Ava. "I'd like that."As Becca dragged Ava away, she whispered, "What's gotten into you? You were practically swooning!"Ava's cheeks flushed. "I don't know...there's just something about him."Becca raised an eyebrow. "I'll say. Let's get out of here before you get too caught up.
