Credits to Adela for this amazing and brutal idea, I couldn't have done it without her.
John was always a cold-hearted man. He would torture animals as a boy, and in time, people. However, he did not like killing his victims. He took pleasure in their pain and suffering.
Elise is the only one who tries to understand him. One day, she snaps, saying, "Have you no conscience?"
John acts on her words. He does everything he can to find his conscience. As his therapist, Elise makes him record his life, so he can see what he has done.
This is a journey through the mind of a warped man. Will he ever be healed from his madness?
Or will it worsen?

"How would you describe your old self?" She asks "I-I was a butterfly, but he beat me down, snapped my wings and forced me to crawl. I was turned into a pest; I was disgusting, dirty. He would step on me, and laughed when I slowly tried to revive myself. He destroyed me; the last strand I had hanging onto the thread." I run my fingers through my hair, "I was mindless, I was a walking corpse with no mind, a marionette. Constantly being tugged at, but I no longer cared. I was a still doll; he was my puppet master.” I stare at her," Do you know what it feels like to be enslaved to someone you thought would be there for you? To be kicked around as if you weren't human; to be tortured to the point where you had to get surgery, to be disrespected on so many levels, to be hurt when you didn't want to, to almost be killed, to lose friends because they couldn't help you, to become a wander-less soul.” --- Ciel has been through hell and back in her past life, but when her confession session goes too far about her abusive relationship with a man, will it be too much for her therapist to take?

Bound by shadows
"Jacob, you have to think long term," his mother had said again. "A wife is more than just a companion.

(Maria) Bound by shadows is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and the scars that linger long after the choices are made.

Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete
