"We always have the North Star, M&M," Elijah reminded her. "It shines bright, just like you do. No matter where I am, I can follow that star, and it'll lead me to you."

"That's not how the North Star works."

"It does when the person I'm looking for shines brighter than the stars."

******
She'd grown up to the sounds of screaming, objects being thrown, and the slamming of the front door at the house next to her own. Madeline's home was his haven away from his own personal hell. But at the age of eighteen, Elijah packed was little he had, said goodbye to her in the middle of the night, and drove away from their quiet town.

Years have passed. Madeline is no longer that nine-year-old child who'd watched him drive away, yet her heart never allowed the pain of losing him to fade. There was no forgetting her babysitter, her best friend, the boy next door. Not a single clear night has passed without her searching for that North Star, wondering if he'd looked up that same night and thought of her.

Wishes were powerful things. The first time Madeline allowed herself to wish for his return, her wish came true.

Everything about Elijah that was worth loving walked out the door of his apartment with Madeline, leaving him little more than a shell of a man. No amount of booze or destruction could erase the love he felt for that woman. That sweet, brutal, all too brief love slashed through his insides and left him damaged beyond repair. They say time heals all wounds, and in some ways, it did. Four years after his M&M walked away, Elijah has his life on track. The scars were still on his heart and skin, but this was as close to living for something other than her as he'd ever get. Then the call comes. That punch to the gut, time stopping call that could send him right back into the hole that'd taken him two years to climb out of. Hearing about her engagement was one thing. It hurt, but knowing she'd found happiness after all the heartache gave him some measure of hope for himself. But this? This could be his salvation or his end. *Mentions of suicide and drug and alcohol addiction.

It happened so fast. It was all chaos. The emotions. The tears. The pain. Flashes. One second...I could see. The next...I had been blinded...by my best friend. My own best friend lashed out at me and slashed his claws across my eyes. Permanently blinded. Never to see again. Now I'm terrified...I've always been afraid of being blind. And now that I am...I'm living my worst fear for the rest of my life. And on top of that...since I'm blind...they kicked me out of the pack and stopped being friends all together. Leaving me alone by myself. Helpless. Defenseless. Useless. Never able to drive my mom's beloved Jeep ever again. Overwhelmed with this constant fear of being blind. It never went away. It was just darkness. Endless...perpetual...darkness. And the sad part is...I'll never be able to make it stop. So...there you have it...my friends are no longer my friends, my former best friend blinded me, I can never drive again, and now I'm depressed...oh, and terrified. So...yeah. Now I'm the much less cool version of Dare Devil that has no fighting skills, no sixth sense, no nothing. I'm just...blind. But there was one person who went against everyone else. A beautiful werewolf...named Cora Hale. And if it wasn't for her...I'd be dead right now. ©️stayleyhasmyheart All Rights Reserved.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor
21 parts Complete Mature
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...
