I thought You were a Myth

"You're an alpha now?" He asked in what sounded like disbelief. "Congratulations. I didn't know you had it in you. Who'd you kill?"

"No one."

A moment of silence passed before Derek barked out a laugh. "You have got to be joking. There is no way you-"

"This was a bad idea, I knew I shouldn't have come. I'll just go," you said, turning toward the door, stopping at his voice at your back.

"No! Wait!"

I feel it fair to warn you.

This isn't going to be all fluffy and happy and love long lost coming home and everything is better.

It's going to get angsty.

It's a story about life. It's not a love story, per say. Or a story about finding your happy ending, necessarily.

It's a story about life. And how when everything seems wrong, when everything is about to fall, take a step back and look where you are. Still on solid ground, despite your shaky footing. Surrounded by people, despite the chaos telling you you're alone. Loved, despite that nagging little monster in your head telling you otherwise.

There is always someone there for you.

And sometimes you have to feel like you are alone in this world and have lost everything in order to find that person or persons, and realize you have everything.

Believe me.

I speak from experience.

You are not alone. No matter how dark the night, you still can see the stars. They twinkle and shine with a light that is so old by the time it gets here, that star may already be gone. But it still offers it's light to guide your way. It still shines even after it's gone, because it's story is not done yet. And part of it's story is to shine for you. Whether to light your way, or to simply give light, a glimmer of hope, it's still there.

Even the moon needs the sun in order to shine. And just like it goes through phases of light and darkness, so do we. It won't always be dark, I promise. Eventually you will find your sun, or even your moon, and together you will make something beautiful.
