She fought the tears the entire drive home, she wiped them off as soon as they rolled down toher cheeks, similar to how a windshield wiper wipes rain from the windshield of a car in a continuous, tireless manner until the rain stops.She pulled up in front of the house and used her steering as a pillow. Why could she never find happiness? Why did something always have to go wrong every time? Why?She got out of the car reluctantly, almost losing her balance. She had cried so much she was physically weak. Emotionally wounded. “Where have you been?, I tried calling but you didn’t take your phone. Do you know how worried I was?” Kelsey shut the door and turned to face him. Her eyes were puffy, her face was red, her hands were shaking and she looked still somehow managed to look pale.He knew she didn’t sleep in her room, her dress said enough and that was the first place he had looked for her. He was unable to sleep properly the entire night and looking at Kelsey, he knew she had it much
Denis returns home with ~~b~~ and ~~g~~. He calls out to Kelsey but there was no answer, he called again but there was still no answer. “Maybe she’s asleep?”“Yeah, go check on her.”He rushed up the stairs to her room and knocked on the door but there was still no response, he was getting worried so he let himself in.He didn’t find Kelsey, panic pierced through his skin slowly like hard drug. The room was empty. There were empty hangers hanging in the closet, her shoe rack, it was empty. Kelsey's gone. He sat down on the bed and ran his hands though his hair.What have I done? He tried calling but her phone was turned off.Where could she have gone? Is she okay? Just one word from her would put him at ease. His eyes found the tray of food on the dressing table, she didn’t even finish it, he lifted the tray to take to the kitchen and a note slipped from beneath it.He went down to meet his friends after reading the note, he had even forgotten about the tray of food.“So? Where is s
“I found her!” ~b~ yelled.“That was fast!” ~g~ said patting ~b~ on the head. “I told you I’m the best.” ~b~ boasted.“Where is she?” Denis asked like he was afraid to know. “She’s not very far, we can get there in three to four hours.” Denis nodded and scurried out of the room to grab his car key.“What would you define as far?” ~g~ asked ~b~ and he snorted.“I’m just glad she’s close by and we found her,don’t you see the look on his face?”“You talking about Denis?”“Yes, I’m talking about Denis, you bozo.”“What about me?” Denis asked with a car key and a black coat that he put on in two swift moves.“Nothing, let’s go find your woman.”They marched out of the house in black coats looking like grim reapers.“Are we all taking your car?” ~g~ asked Denis.“No. Take your own car!” He growled at ~g~ “Ok, ok, no need to be so touchy.”They got in their black jeeps and drove off.Denis took the lead following a map to the location ~b pinned to his phone.~b~’s car was right behind Den
“What do you mean you’ll step down?”“I'll step down for you Kelsey. It’s you I want to spend the rest of my life with, not Janet. I don’t love Janet, I love you.”He's not saying Like like again like a teenager that’s afraid of being tied down by the shackles of commitment, he said love.Kelsey wanted to pull him on top of her and kiss him like her life depended on it but she had to talk sense into him, he can’t step down from the pack because of her, even if she wanted him to, that would be very selfish of her.“You can’t do that. You can’t step down.”“I can Kelsey and I will, if that’s what it takes to be with you. I love you.”The way he’s saying the word love with so much depth, the sincerity in his voice, his glistening eyes, she couldn’t want anything more than this moment but of course, she can’t enjoy it because life is a bitch and the universe dislikes her.“If the truth comes out the pack will be in so much trouble. Other packs won’t trust yours anymore. You might even los
She wants to believe him, she really does but his words were no longer enough. The moment he told her that he had to marry Janet, something inside her broke, but she couldn’t tell what it was. Now she knows, It was the little trust she had left for him.He had broken her trust over and over but she always managed to glue it back together because at the time, she thought that she was the only one hopelessly in love with him and that the only thing bonding them together was their agreement but the moment she knew that her feelings were reciprocated, the moment she knew that they were a lot more than business partners, her trust became more delicate than it was.Then he said those words and it just—shattered.“I don’t think I can do this— I have too many doubts, too many questions.”“And I promise to answer every single one of them, no matter how many they are. First, I need you to believe me when I say I love you. I love you and everything that comes with your existence. I love your smi
A shrill sound interrupted her thoughts, it was coming from her phone. She checked the caller ID and was reluctant to pick up the phone.She’d been worried all morning about how the day would unfold. She still has no idea how Denis intended to take care of Janet. She would have asked him to explain when they got home last night but they were too busy exploring each other’s body.She answered the call on the fifth ring.“Hey, you want me to come over?” She’s glad Alice is offering but she wasn’t in the mood for company and she was also scared of how Alice would react if she knew the truth about her relationship with Denis.“Thanks but I think I got it covered.” That was a lie, a big one. She had nothing prepared. No make up artist, no stylist, nothing. She didn’t know the first thing about bridal makeups or about brides in general, she could use some pointers on the dos and don’ts of the ceremony but she wasn’t even sure there was going to be a ceremony. What if Janet crashed it befor
Everyone was applauding and cheering but Kelsey and Denis couldn’t take their eyes off each other, it was a magical moment. They walked back down the aisle together. It felt so poetic, so right—that she came alone and now she’s leaving with him.She glanced at Kate, her husband wrapped an arm around her shoulder, gently brushing the side of her arms to keep her from crying. Alice and her mate were taking turns go wipe each other's tears. They’re an interesting couple.Denis' gamma and his wife were the only ones not crying or on the verge of tears. He gave Denis a nod of approval and his wife smiled at Kelsey.Not very long after, the main ceremony began and an announcement was made to hundreds of guest that the couple had already been mated in a an earlier, much smaller ceremony. The hall was big and fancy, like a ballroom, but without the ballerinas. There were balloons, glitter, ribbons, decorated tables that looked like ghosts.The waiters looked very fancy, going around with o
He pushed through the crowd making his way to Kelsey.“Sir, what should we do with her?” The guards asked, still holding on to Janet who was no longer struggling. Kelsey must-have hit her really hard. There was a big bruise, like an imprint of a fist on her face and very close to her eye, there was a claw mark. Her white dress was torn and tattered and her make up was a disaster. There were long black lines k dripping from both of her eyes. “Lock her up in the dungeon.” Denis commanded and Janet opened her mouth to protest and slammed it shut, remembering that she was no longer in a place to make demands.Denis turned his head to look at Kelsey but he didn’t see her. He hurried over to the front to get a better look and he saw her sitting on the floor and staring at her hands.“Kelsey are you okay?” She gave him a weird look and continue to stare at her hands. He sat beside her on the floor and put a protective arm around her.She put down his arm and turned to face him.“I feel w
