I locked the door and turned around. I took a deep breath and leaned on the door. My heart beat was running like it was in a marathon race. I could hear the sound of my heart thundering in my chest and in my ears. My whole face was red due to running and I was trying to breathe in the air as it was getting hard to breathe.
I immediately put the bags on the couch and rushed towards my counter to grab my inhaler. "Where i-is it?" I harshly opened the drawer and threw the stuff coming in my way only to find my inhaler but I couldn't find it.
My shoulders got tensed as I couldn't find my inhaler where I put it last time. I slapped my chest and coughed as I couldn't breathe. I took off my coat and threw it away.
I can't go up in this condition.
I decided to bend down and see if the inhaler was somehow under the counter and I was right. It was there. I immediately grabbed it and pulled it out. I pressed it against my lips and took a deep puff of the inhaler as I plopped down on the chair and rubbed my chest.
After some time my breath got normal. I leaned my head back on the chair and looked up at the ceiling blankly. This happened after more than a month. I was doing so well so far. Being an asthma patient ain't no easy.
I wasn't born as an asthma patient. I got this after that incident and it has been living with me since now.
I don't usually get these attacks but when I get them it feels like it's my last day but today I didn't feel like dying. It was like I'm used to it now. I know I'll survive or maybe I know how to cope up with it now.
I put my inhaler back in the drawer and stood up. I grabbed the bags from the couch and walked upstairs. I slowly opened the door and walked in.
"I'm home." I yelled and as soon as I did my room door opened and the little boy stomped out of it. He looked at me and then at my hands.
I faked a smile and gestured to him to come back in the room so I could show him everything I bought for him.
His eyes literally sparkled after each outfit I showed him. He was truly grateful. He even thanked me several times. Not only did I buy some outfits for him but some toys for him too.
"These pastries are for you." I said and handed the bag to him. He grabbed the bag from my hand and took out the pastry book. He slowly opened the box and I shut my eyes in frustration.
They were a mess due to my running.
He made an 'oh' face and quickly put the box on the bed as he jumped off the bed and came towards me.
My eyes widened when he stood up on his toes and wrapped his tiny arms around my neck, pulling me down in a hug. I was flabbergasted. It felt like all my worries vanished into thin air as soon as he hugged me.
I wrapped my arms around his tiny waist and pulled him closer to myself. He needed a hug and I needed a hug too.
After a while he pulled away and thanked me several times. I shook my head at his politeness. He sat back on the bed and went through his toys.
I looked at him continuously. I kept my eyes on him as I wandered off to my world.

SEBASTIAN POV
I stopped my bike right behind Liam's bike and looked towards the green forest. He always comes here when he is not feeling good or wants to take out his anger.
I got off my bike and made my way inside the forest.
That girl...
She has some guts I must say and I am no one to stop Liam from having his revenge. After all, she should have thought about the consequences before slapping him.
But I wouldn't deny the fact that she impressed me in a way.
I could see her palpitating under my gaze and it made me feel even more powerful. It makes my inner beast growl in satisfaction.
I have had my eyes on her since the day Steve told me about seeing his clothes in her room. She might have that innocent face but who knows she can be one of my biggest enemies.
Innocent ones are the most deceiving ones in my case.
She is indeed clever...she ain't naive neither she acts like one. I hate those girls who act dumb or naive just to look innocent but they aren't really innocent. It's just a facade to allure someone and alluring me is impossible.
As weird as it sounds, I'm a man who has never really been with a girl or developed any feelings towards any of them. Being a leader and doing this kind of stuff like my men do doesn't suit me. They go around different girls until they find their mate. They only go behind those girls, just to crack their necks. This heart only belongs to the one who truly deserves it but will I be able to find that one.
A wolf should only belong to his mate and his mate should only belong to him in every single way.
This curse can be broken only if I find the real solution to break it.
I can't feel or smell my mate not until this curse is broken.
My wolf dies every single night. I could hear him growling and howling in my ears. I'm tired....
"There you are." I said and walked towards Liam who was leaning on the tree while sharpening his knife with a rock.
His eyes snapped up towards me.
He growled and took off his mask letting his sharp features come into my sight.
"I'll kill her." He said while pointing the knife at the sky and I shook my head at him.
"You really gonna go hard on that girl. Come on, she can't even reach our standards." I said as I tried to divert his mind away from having a revenge on the girl.
I might be a ruthless gangster leader but I don't really go hard on those people who cannot bear my wrath and she is just like a rag doll. She can't bear my beast.
Her appetite figure will not be able to handle our beasts.
"Why are you being so lenient with her?" He asked and I raised my brows at him. "Do you think she will be able to fight back? Since when did scars start to fight with someone who can't stand a chance against them?" I asked and he shook his head.
"I don't care. I will take my vengeance. She insulted me in front of the whole city." He rasped and started to sharpen his knife aggressively.
I said nothing and kept looking at him.
Well, I don't see a better reason to stop him anymore.
"Here you go, little one." I said as I forward him the plate of food. It was boiled vegetables with some spices. He examined the plate and then looked at me. I expected him to gawk about the food but instead of that he licked his lips and dug into the meal.My eyes widened in shock. Oh my god, this child is sooooo good. I smiled and sat beside him as I dug into my meal too. Yesterday's incident was still on my mind and I'm trying my best to not to leave the house not until there's something really important.Nothing happened yesterday night nor this morning. I expected them to hit my windows with stones or even bullets but nothing happened which was good but my anxiety was still high."You finish the dinner and then we'll go through revision, okay?" I asked
Everything around me started to get hazy. I could see their footsteps surrounding me. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't find a solution. Either I die right now or I get up...get up for my dreams, get up for that boy, get up for myself.I closed my eyes and tried to relax. Nothing is happening to me. Death is written there is no need to be scared of anyone. I have to get up.I felt someone touching my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw a girl kneeling down in front of me. Although her face was also hidden, her energy somehow felt positive.You have to get up,NOW!I took a deep breath and immediately sat up on my knees. I looked around and saw every
After sending Sophia I got some customers. I helped them with choosing some dresses and they just left a few minutes ago so I decided to sit down and go through my novels since I haven't touched them for more than a week now.As I was going through my novels I heard someone entering the boutique but didn't bother to look up thinking that it might be one of my customers.The room fell to an eerie silence all of a sudden as I could only hear the person's footsteps approaching closer. My fingers paused while turning the page and my heartbeat accelerated in no seconds.I gulped down my saliva as I felt a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach."Hello."
I yawned and turned the page as I shifted on the couch for a comfortable position. My fingers caressed the page before I actually started reading.The little one was taking shower and I was reading one of my favourite books these days. I flinched when I heard a thud sound coming from the restroom.Oh shoot, did he fall down?I immediately put the book away and stood up as I made my way towards the restroom. I knocked on the door..."Hey, you alright?" I asked and then shut my eyes in disbelief.He can't speak, Aurora.I knocked on the door once again."Open the door." I said and af
No matter how much I tried...In the end everything broke me down.I was finally getting into lifeBut.....I guess worst was yet to comeand here I stand trapped, feeling so helpless, depending on his mercy.Fear never leaves...no matter how much I try to be strong...I always lose.These hungry animals would never let me go, not until they have what they want and I can't give them what they want."It's hurting, let me go." I said helplessly as I punched him on his chest wit
Sometimes you forget your true power because of your own fear.Fear created by you, yourself.Your fear empowers your desire to bloom.You, yourself make the enemy stronger.Either you knock them down the very first time or either you fall down and hide in the corner, blaming your fate and blaming the god.Your fate might have been written long ago but it's all on you.You either fight for your dreams or you either go along with your fate which sometimes have nothing but failures, but it's all on you.Su
Cold.I felt cold.I couldn't breathe.I snapped my eyes open and looked around.I found myself running.Running in a forest covered with snow.Snow was everywhere.It was getting hard for me to run in this freezing weather.My lungs are on fire.I had to apply more power while running because running in snow was a lot harder.My eyes widened wh
"Hazelnut."My eyes widened when I realized who it was. Is he calling me a Hazelnut?"What are you doing?" I asked him as I tried to twist my wrist away from his hold which I almost did but he once again caught my wrists before my elbow could hit his face."I see, you are getting stronger." He said and tightened his hold, even more, making me close my eyes in pain. I kept taking deep breaths to calm my nerves."Okay, I'm not here to play around." He said and bent down to my ear level. "Where are my people who came to your boutique?" He asked and I frowned."I don't know," I said right away and a gasp left my lips when he grabbed my collar from b
