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
Verena “I…um…” the words feel stuck in my throat. My legs feel weak. I can’t believe he started to get so intimate with her after a few hours of our divorce. If he’s this affectionate with her, then it means that he has already moved on. Though maybe he did not need to move on in the first place.
Verena The world seems to stop as I hear what she said. I am…pregnant? “What?” I gasp. The woman nods, her eyes glinting with excitement. “Yes, Luna. I ran a USG scan, and it shows that you are pregnant.” Dory shrieks, “Oh my Goddess! That's wonderful news.” She grins at me, and hugs Drake, who
Verena His gaze lifts from the display screen and darkens with disappointment, “Is this your new trick to get me back?” he retorts, and the corner of Nixie’s lips curls into a smirk. I blink in confusion. Trick? “Why–why would I trick you with something like this?” His jaw clenches, and the air t
Verena “So, when is the Alpha throwing us a party?” Dory asks as she walks into my room with a cheerful smile. She does not know. The only thing she knows is that I went to Elijah to tell him the good news. “You definitely have to tell me the names you are deciding on, especially if it's a girl. I
Verena An hour later, I step inside Elijah’s bedroom to get all my stuff. The walls of the room make me suffocated as it reminds me of the times we have spent here. Brushing those thoughts away, I focus on my task at hand. There is no point in staying in this packhouse so I’ll pack my things and le
Verena I smile, while my heart breaks in pain. He is so good at crushing my heart, like it's an object. “I will be there in time.” Saying that, I pull my hand away from him, engraving his touch for the last time in my head. A while later, I look at my reflection in the mirror. Dark eye bags hang u
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
ELIJAHI jump out of the trees, and stare at the packhouse. It's dark outside and the lights are on. I specifically notice the light of my bedroom being on. She’s here. My heart races in my chest as I think about seeing her again. She was in the Moonlight pack for quite some time and I missed her
VERENAThe heavy iron gates creak open, revealing the familiar yet altered landscape of the Iron Claw packhouse. The once pristine grounds are now scarred with remnants of the brutal battle. As I guide the car through the gates, my heart pounds with a mix of anticipation and excitement. I glance at
VERENAMaria’s words ring in my head. I stand before dad’s grave inside the cemetery. Ezra is standing beside me, holding a bouquet of lilies. He has a sad look on his face as he stares at his grandpa’s grave. “Mommy?” He calls me and I look down at him. “Yes?” “Is grandpa in a safe place now?” h
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
“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
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
Dory looks at me and shakes her head. “I’m sorry, Luna. But he can’t be saved. The poison in the dagger spread into his entire body the moment it pierced him.” Maria gasps and places a hand on her mouth. I look at dad. I can’t breathe. He can’t leave me like this. His heartbeat starts to get fai
