The world didn't matter, it was like we were in a completely bleached room. His eyes bore into mine, unblinking and breathtaking. My hand moved on its own and I touched his chest, my fingers skimming over where his heart pounded in time with mine. Heart Then my fingers glided to his neck. Word and then to his temple Thought and finally, down his chin through the spikes of his facial hair. All the while, our eyes connected. His cobalt color started shifting and gold pierced through.

Gorgeous cover by @DNB2k16 There comes a time when you get used to the pain. You don't feel hurt nor surprised anymore. You just stop caring altogether. I don't know what other's think of it, but to me it's convenient. It's good that I don't act weak anymore and bawl my eyes out at every twitch. I feel content because I can make the people who hurt me pay back for it with interests. I used to be innocent and forgiving but now, my eyes have opened. I have experienced it several times that some people do not deserve mercy, but I chose to look the other side. However, as they say, there comes a time, a person in your life who changes everything. You love them. You adore them. You act your best to please them and on the dark side, you can't forgive the ones who put even a scratch on them. That person came in my life too, but this time, I couldn't look the other side and forgive and forget those who took him away from me. My only strength. My only warmth. My only person. I may be obsessed, but I don't care. For me that person has always been more than a soul mate and a beloved. He is my LIFE. And what do you when your life is endangered? You do not sit still. You strive to survive and if instincts call for it, then you attack! I learned my lesson. I'm not going to simply let it go. I'm not going to be merciful. I'm not going to value stupid sacred bonds of my race. I'm not going to think about my mission. I'm only going to do what I'm supposed to do to get him back. I'm not going to hold back anymore and if the situation arises then I'll go against anyone even if he is the King of Werewolves. I will use anyone if it means I can get one step close to him. I don't mind shedding blood anymore because I can overcome any fear, but not the fear of losing him. I won't let any bond hold me back anymore. The only bond I care about is with him. The one I chose for myself. The bond of pure love and hope. "The day will come soon when we'll reunite again. I promise."

*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.
