Brielle's POV

" Do you have everything you need packed Brie?" My mom asks for the millionth time.

" Yes, mom. I am ready," I reply while I continue loading my bags into the car. She said nothing else and stood there awkwardly. I know what she was thinking but there was no turning back for me. I wanted to go and it is what is best for all of us.

" All set," I say while closing the car trunk.

" Okay now that is done we can go wait in the house-"

I cut her off knowing what she was about to say.

" No mom. He won't come to see me off. Let's just go. I don't want to wait any longer," I say dismissively. She looked sad and disappointed but there was nothing I could do.

You might be wondering what's going on. So the story is... a long story. Right now I am all packed and ready to move to my grandparent's place in Lunaris. I was about to begin my senior year and I needed a fresh, clean slate to start. It's been a rough couple of years since my parents started falling out and everything was just not the same anymore.

After a long time of putting up with a lot of stuff and being unhappy, it ended with my parents divorcing. My parents were high school sweethearts and they probably thought that they would end up together forever. I mean, isn't that what everyone in love thinks when they are at the peak of their relationship, and their future together looks clear in front of them and beautiful? Like nothing or no one could ever come between them? True love right?

It was the same for them too until it wasn't anymore. And I was in the middle of it all. At one point while witnessing all the fights and arguments I was afraid that my parents would end up separating. That's every child's nightmare when they are unable to comprehend that separating is actually the best thing that could ever happen to them because constantly fighting and hurting each other isn't love. No matter how much it hurts, it has to end.

A year ago after my birthday, my parents told me that they were divorcing. Soon after that, my dad introduced us to his new family. He was having an affair with a colleague at work, and one thing led to another. She was heavily pregnant with my step-sibling.

At that time I didn't know how to feel. The change was too much and overwhelming and the fact that our family would never be the same was still settling in. Let's just say things didn't go well and I ended up lashing out all of my suppressed anger. Since then, things between my dad and I have been kind of rocky. We just didn't know how to approach each other anymore.

My mom was heartbroken and I felt bad for her. I pushed her away because I didn't know how to comfort her. I wouldn't know how a person who has loved someone feels when they don't have them by their side anymore and start to love another person. I wanted her to stop making others a priority and start living her own life. I knew she wouldn't be bold enough to think about opening up to someone if all she did was try to nurse my feelings so I made up my mind to leave and go live with my grandparents.

We hit the road. My mom offered to drive me there even though I told her I could get there on my own. She wasn't letting me have it my way so I gave in to her. After all, we were going to spend time away from each other and we wouldn't be able to see each other regularly.

We turned up the radio and listened to some music to kill some time and then it was time to talk.

" You know you don't have to go, right sweety?"

" I know," I mumbled while looking out of the window. The was a brief moment of uncomfortable silence.

" Anyway, I am sure you are going to love Lunaris. I have some wonderful moments there," she trails off reminiscing about the past. She and my dad came from Lanaris together to start a new life in Clarefield. Lunaris is where their love story began.

I reached out and squeezed her hand in comfort. " Don't worry mom. I am sure I'll be in great hands. Grandma and grandpa sounded so happy when I told them that I would be coming to live with them. But I do feel was about one thing." I paused looking at her.

" I don't want you to be alone mom. Dad... has started a new life with someone else. I know that you are hurt and still trying to heal from it. It must be hard for you and I wouldn't begin to understand the pain you have gone through all those years. All I want to say is don't close yourself off from any possibility of finding love again. I want you to be happy again as well. Think about yourself and start prioritizing what you want. Just know that if you are happy then I am happy as well."

She pulls the car over and starts sobbing while resting her head on the stirring wheel. I've heard her cry a couple of times in her room. She never let me see her cry but she doesn't know that I heard her. For the first time, she opened the floodgates in front of me. I rubbed her back and gave her the time she needed to cry.

Once she was done she raised her head and wiped her tears sniffling. Her face was swollen and a mess but I didn't mind it at all. I was happy that she took the first step. She always tried to seem strong in front of me and now she let her walls crumble a little.

" Oh my God sweety, I never wanted you to see me like this. I wished that this moment would never come but I guess wishes don't come true. Seeing as how everything I have ever wished for never came true I would say enough with the wishes." She pauses and took a breath.

" I thought your father and I would make it a long way. It certainly felt possible in the beginning but I guess something in our destinies altered. I've never loved anyone else the way I loved your father and I just thought it would be the same for him. I don't know when I started not being the one for him, I don't know when I began not being enough. Or maybe I know but I just never wanted to see it because I knew if I saw it and admitted it then it would be the beginning of the end for us. I held on for dear life to a relationship that was already doomed. I tried so hard to protect you and maintain the image of a happy family but I failed. I failed at being a good lover, a wife, and a mother.

" No, mom. You didn't fail. You are everything but a failure. The only thing you failed at was protecting yourself. You endured a lot for all of us and I appreciate you for it. It's all over now," I say taking her hands in mine.

" You don't need to fight or be strong anymore. You just need to be you after facing everything. A free you who is not bound to anyone anymore."

" I don't know how I'll do that dear. It's hard to imagine a life without him. He was the love of my life," she cries pitifully.

" You don't have to figure it all right now. Take your time. Start by accepting that dad isn't for you anymore. Take it one step at a time. You are not alone. You still have me. When you need me, I'll be with you."

She smiles through her tears. " I can't believe how you have grown. You are handling this way better than I am and here I am thinking that you would be suffering the most because of us." She caresses my cheek looking at me lovingly.

" I am glad my daughter is stronger than me so I won't have to worry much with you away from me."

Once we were done with our emotional talk we drove the rest of the way and arrived at the sun setting. We were welcomed by my grandparents standing outside. I managed to convince mom with the help of my grandma to stay for the night since it's been a long time since she last visited. There was some catching up to do and we had a nice family dinner. Things were looking up. Finally.

    Blaze's POVI stood in front of the full-length mirror in my room inspecting my appearance. I was clad in the tux that I had ready for the night. I appreciated what I saw in the mirror. Not to toot my own horn but I was looking rather dashing. Everything was in place, my hair slick back and my bow tie aligned. I turned away once I was satisfied with my look. I went over to my window and took a peek outside.The preparations for the party were almost over. People were already dressed in their best outfits for the night. All teens turning 18 were probably nervous like me, anxious to find their soul mate. This night could turn out both ways. Happily or very sad. Not everyone is going to find their mates tonight but there is no harm in being hopeful. I moved from the window and sat on the edge of my bed. The nerves were kicking in. You can just imagine human nerves but werewolf mode. My heart was beating fast at the thought of a mate. I mean... yeah, I have Rea but what if...I shook my he

In Clairefield, I used the school bus to get to school. I guess this will be the first thing I change. I put in my earphones and listened to music to make the trip bearable. The sun was already up and people were out and about with their business. Store owners were opening their shops and ready to welcome customers.I walked for some time but the was a nagging feeling. I don't know but it felt like someone was following me. I refrained from turning back to look and just hastened my footsteps . It's probably nothing.

She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising.

I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart

I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside.

I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in

She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to

It's a good thing she wasn't protesting." Mmh, nothing much. I just need a soul. One should for this exchange," Kael said nonchalantly like what he wants was a piece of cake." Any soul?" Brielle askedI turned to look at her. Her expression was cold as she looked at Kael." No, not just any soul. I've been surrounded by rotten souls for such a long time. This time, I want a pure soul..
