“Oh, come on! Stuff like this happens. Why can’t you just forget and make up?” Serena shouts in my head and I grimace at her loud voice. “Stop shouting. It's not that easy, okay?” “Why not? You even see a therapist now so you should be healed!” She whines. I roll my eyes. “It does not work like t
VERENAI sit with Maria in the living room and sip the hot chocolate she made for me. The hot drink soothes my throat and my tense nerves. It feels good. Maria looks at the window and then at me. She stares at me for a while and I frown. “What is it?” I ask. “Rena, are you alright?” she asks in a

This is my way of telling her how much I want her. There’s not a single day I didn’t think of her, didn’t miss her. How can she even think that I wouldn’t want her? Rolf growls inside my head in agreement. I kiss the mark and pull back, watching her face turn red and flushed. The daze in her eyes
Verena“Rena, I want to reject our bond and get separated,” Elijah’s voice doesn't hold an ounce of emotion as he sits across from me in the dim living room. I'd been waiting for him to celebrate our third wedding anniversary together. But when he arrived, there was this coldness about him. I figure
Verena It's alright. Things will get better. Elijah will change his mind, afterall he loves me—- My trembling hand freezes halfway as I reach for the plate on the dining table. Tear droplets splatter on the polished darkwood, and the sight of our signatures on the divorce agreement brings me c

VERENATwo months later…“You people have some audacity to see me after what you did,” I say with a stern face as I look at the people who are sitting in the meeting room. Their faces are etched in my head. The celestial wolves who did not help us during the fight. I am sitting at the head of the t
George looks at me and raises his arm, showing me the Goddess Gem. I don’t know if it's instinct or intuition, but I shift back and walk towards him as if I know what to do. Elijah does the same and we join him. George hands me the red gem. I look at Elijah and he moves closer to me and holds the g
