Freya"No need to fear me, for this beast is yours to be tamed," Jurius said as he embraced me in his arms, and I no longer felt worried now that I was comforted by words.We both lay down on the bed. Jurius held me from behind. His arms were around my waist, and we both admired each other's reflections in the room's mirror before us.I played with the length of his finger around my waist, sliding my fingers up and down against it."It's like a dream holding you in my arms, I heard him say. I cannot believe it is true." His voice was soft and unhurried. A side of his face squished against my cheek as he now held me tight in his arms.I then spun around, staring into his eyes and no longer wishing to admire their reflection within the large rectangular mirror, and I gently touched his face."This is not a dream," I said as I lowered my head for a kiss.He smiled as my lips parted from his. It was the most beautiful smile I'd seen.His hand then reached out to my cheek, and he kept stro

Freya I rolled along my bed and reached for my pillow, giving it a tight hug. A bright smile lightened my face. Being in love was a beautiful thing; it made me want to twirl and dance in circles across the room, though there was no music playing. I did. I got off the bed, still holding the pillow tighter than I had, and I danced with it as if it were Jurius and I dancing—my soulmate. In my head, I pictured us dancing at the football championship afterparty; he was dressed handsomely in a black tuxedo with a white interior, a long black tie, and shiny leather shoes, and I was wearing a beautiful white dress, a dress the princess in a fairy tale would wear. I stopped and rested my face against the pillow as if I were suffocating myself, and I closed my eyes, imagining Jurius and me in that meadow of daisies again. At the place where I received my first kiss, I visualized him biting my neck and marking me as his own while we made love. My eyes slowly began to peel open, somehow wis

FreyaA knock on my door told me I'd fallen asleep without realizing it.I went to open it, and I saw it was my grandma."Good morning. I'm just checking to see if you're up and ready for school," she said.In grief, my head lowered."Are you okay?" she asked with worry.My attention was brought back to her."Can I skip school? I'm not feeling too well," I told her."What is wrong?""I feel the need to be here today instead of at school," I explained.Thankfully, my grandmother agreed, assuming I was in a terrible mood because of Mom.Breakfast was brought to me while I was still in my room. Momentarily, my grandma informed me that she and Zira had to complete an errand and would return in an hour.From my window, I watched them drive away.I had only an hour to make a daring attempt to see whether Jurius was fine. So, I grabbed my jacket and went downstairs.As I closed the door behind me, I ran to the back of the house and into the forest.I wish I'd known where his pack home was; I

FreyaI was awakened in the hospital, and I caught sight of a needle jammed into the front of my elbow. I discovered I was hooked up to a drip. My grandma, who was sitting next to me in the room, noticed I'd gotten up and promptly stood up."I'm going to get the nurse," she said as she stormed out the door.Shortly after, she returned with a nurse.I watched as the nurse connected me to a new bag of drips."Dr. Weather will be here soon," the nurse said to my grandmother before leaving.My grandmother approached me and softly touched my face. And my gaze was drawn to her."Why are you causing yourself harm by dealing with your problems on your own, child?" she asked, concerned.My attention shifted away from her."Can't you see my sister and I are willing enough to help you? Why are you refusing to accept it? She stated."You can't help me," I wailed, removing her hand from my cheek."Please give us a chance," my grandmother begged.It never occurred to me that my actions were having

FreyaTime flies by so fast when you're spending time with someone you're madly in love with.Jurius and I sat down on the grass, and his arms were wrapped around me while I lay on his chest."I wish we didn't have to leave now," he said, holding me tighter in his arms."Me too," I said softly as my head lifted to his.I smiled and my eyes closed as he kissed my forehead, and as he did, the pain of being separated from him once more arose inside my heart. My head went to my left breast as I now felt one of Jurius's arms resting on my heart, as if he had felt the pain as well, and my gaze steadily went back to him."I hate being away from you as well, he confessed. I wish you could dwell with me along with the pack, so I could always be with you, even when you are asleep.""I wish I was a wolf shifter," I now yearned to be, and then I would always be by his side."Don't say that!" Jurius detested what I had said."I wish nothing else of you, for you are the perfect mate for me," he tol
