Carena: I have been visiting the sheriff’s office for work, and so far, we have only discussed minor thefts and other crimes. It was quite exciting, even more thrilling than working at a bakery. Although my interaction with people at the bakery was more frequent, and I haven't yet visited many crime scenes, I was truly enjoying working with Theodore. We would take food breaks and chat about all sorts of things. Now that I was spending time with him, I realized he wasn't that bad, to be honest."I'll be fine, don't worry," I reassured Yamin as I hurried out of the bakery after grabbing lunch for myself. It was my day off with Theodore, so I could go home and rest for the rest of the day. Working for so many hours had given me a new direction in life. I was no longer sitting alone in a corner of the room, crying all the time. This kind of life was so exhilarating and fulfilling. I don't know why I let Jack stop me from achieving so much in my life. He hated the idea of me continuing my
Carena:“Theodore, what is going on? You are sounding funny,” I laughed uncomfortably, not wanting it to be anything other than a joke. I was not truly ready for something emotional."Can you please meet me outside your house in a few minutes? I will be there soon," he said next, leaving me to wonder what was going on with him. I slipped closer to the window again and watched Sawyer and Ashley leave."Sure, I'll wait for you," I replied, puzzled by Theodore's urgency. Despite my concern, I was deeply bothered watching Sawyer and Ashley leave.What happened to all the 'I am yours and you are mine' talk?"Huh! He is such a player," I groaned and sat on my bed, rubbing my face in my hands, waiting for a call or text from Theodore. Maybe he was just feeling lonely and wanted someone to speak with.After he called and asked me to come out, I rushed downstairs to find Maanya next to the window.“Ask him to come inside. I am making some new dishes tonight,” she giggled happily, rushing back
Carena:“Tell me,” as my father insisted, I felt like I had lost my tongue."I need to go take a shower," I quickly freed my hand and ran upstairs as if my tail had been on fire. Once under the water, I began to curse at myself for not making things clear before my father spoke those words. Now it would be so embarrassing for Maanya. But why did they assume Theodore had come to express his feelings for her? He never spoke about her or to her. Every time he was home, he talked to my dad about me. They had nothing in common either.Whatever made them think he wanted to marry Maanya, it was going to be very awkward. After showering, I had to walk downstairs to eat dinner with my family, who were now awaiting an explanation from me."So? What are you going to tell him? I think he should come and talk to me directly," Dad began, and Maanya started blushing. She hadn't been able to connect with her wolf or find a mate, which was expected at eighteen. This left her weaker compared to me."Da
Carena:"It's called the Dark Wood Murders case," Theodore laid out the entire list of crimes that had taken place in the woods."200 dead bodies?" I turned to Theodore, my eyes wide in disbelief."We suspect there are more, but they may be buried deep in the woods," he added, leaning forward and placing his hand on the table."Tell me more details," I insisted, sitting down with my hands still on the open sheets on the desk."We don't know much. Just that some prominent council members have lost loved ones during these killings. There are files dating back many years, but the case is closed since then. Now, when a body is found, the news isn't shared. It stays within the circle and fades away. No leads, no suspects so far," Theodore explained, settling back into his seat across the table and watching my reaction closely."What if--just hear me out--it's the woods killing these people?" I shifted in my seat. "I mean, what if the woods themselves are responsible?"I watched him study m
Carena: "Theodore let out a laugh, shaking his head at me and looking like he had heard the best joke ever. 'Why would you treat her unfairly like that? Just because she called me?' he joked again, thinking I was preparing a jest to tease Maanya for calling him.My guilt reached a new limit now. Even the idea was amusing to him. 'I am not joking,' I stated very seriously and watched his smile fade away right before my eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to comprehend the scenario.“I think Dad and Maanya misunderstood your gestures. They think you were interested in Maanya,” I bit my tongue the moment I finished talking.“What? Why? Why would they think like that?” The sudden aggression in his voice made me cover my face with my hands.“No! Carena, don't hide your face from me. What gestures? I never spoke about her unless it was your father bringing her up. Where did I mislead them?” His insistence compelled me to raise my face from my hands and look at him.“I told them the
Carena: I watched it all and my body began to feel numb from the amount of pain my heart was dealing with. Tears welled in my eyes, my breath hitching. Then Theodore leaned over me from behind and whispered in my ear, "Look! This is why you should eliminate him." My heart skipped a beat and I swiftly turned to face him. He wore an eerie smile, stretching from ear to ear, as if it had been carved into his face."You should end him. He deceived you. He told you that you belonged to him—look at him now, with her. The woman who killed your dog," he said, his voice no longer sounding like himself, but rather feminine and unsettling."What are you—What is wrong with you?" I gasped, my hand on the door handle, trying to unlock it, but nothing was working."Why? Why can't you do it? Do it! Kill Sawyer!" he hissed, advancing towards me. His entire body loomed over me, and that's when I gasped the loudest and woke up."Hey! Take it easy!" Theodore was sitting in his chair with his hands up, wa
Sawyer: “I can't believe you are saying this to me,” Ashley expressed her happiness in a high-pitched tone that made my ears almost bleed.“I've planned everything, the honeymoon location and the tickets too,” I said, leaning back in my office chair and staring out the window.“Sawyer! I've never been happier. I knew my love would win your heart one day,” she giggled joyfully, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.“You should have known this would happen. You’ve been so persistent,” I replied, grabbing the crystal angel paperweight and rolling it between my fingers.“I guess the Moon Goddess heard my prayers,” her voice returned to normal, as she had to conserve her energy for all the packing and preparations. I knew that much.“Uh-huh,” I mumbled, losing interest in the conversation.“May I ask, what about Carena?” The way she mentioned Carena’s name, during a conversation that didn't include her, almost made me drop the paperweight. But I held it firmly and narrowed my eyes at the
Carena:"Ah!!! Yass! Ahhhh!"I heard my husband's moans echo from the bedroom, and my heart sank in my chest. As I opened the door, I caught sight of him, with his phone in one hand and his dick in the other, stroking it up and down.It was a shocking sight for me, especially at this early hour of the morning, considering he had explicitly stated that he hadn't felt aroused by anything in the previous days."Jack!" I murmured quietly, feeling utterly humiliated. Just last night, he had even pushed me away when I tried to cuddle with him in our marital bed.And now here he was, masturbating alone in our bed? He had become distant from me over the past few months, hardly even sleeping in the same room. I assumed it was because I couldn't give him a child. But now things should have been different. “Carena! Why are you home so early?” he almost tumbled out of the bed when struggling to do something on his phone while also covering his dick as if I had never seen him naked before.We tie
