The Last Three Years
Chapter 1 It’s been three years since I last saw him. One-thousand and ninety-five days since he slammed the front door and never looked back. I’ve thought many times about that day. Every time has led to tears as I remember how many mistakes I made that never had the chance to be rectified. Of course, I would do it differently if I could, but second chances like that only happen in movies. I hurt him. I knew that as I was doing it, and yet I could never find the strength to stop. It went on for a long time, the affair that is, and like many mistakes, it started off innocent. A friendly coworker, a few late nights, inside jokes, and an accidental kiss.

Another dream taking me back to my past. I move the covers off of me and I swing my legs to the side of the bed.

Fire & Ash
I remember the scent of burnt flesh most clearly. It’s nearly impossible to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced the smell for themselves. Ask anyone who has though, and they’ll tell you; No matter how often you bathe, or what pretty little perfumes you might spray yourself with, no matter how many years pass, you can’t ever completely rid yourself of it.

Savage heart
Start writing...Chapter 1: The Call of the Wild In the heart of the dense, ancient forest, a chilling howl pierced the night air. It was a sound that carried the essence of the wilderness itself, a melody that resonated through the trees and into the hearts of all who heard it. The moon cast an ethereal glow upon the towering pines, and amidst the shadows, a solitary figure emerged: Asher, a young and powerful alpha wolf.
