Shattered Dreams

Once upon a time in the charming town of Evergreen, two young souls named Lily and Ethan began a beautiful journey of love and dreams. They had known each other since childhood and were inseparable. Their bond was as strong as the enchanting oak tree that stood tall in the center of town, a symbol of everlasting love. As teenagers, Ethan and Lily started dating, sharing their secrets, ambitions, and aspirations. They spent countless hours exploring the vast woods surrounding Evergreen, dreaming about their future together. Ethan had a passion for photography and dreamt of becoming a renowned artist, capturing the beauty of nature through his lens. Lily, on the other hand, had an ear for music and hoped to become a famous pianist, enchanting the world with her melodies. Their love was pure and genuine, woven into the tapestry of their lives. Every evening, they would sit under the oak tree, exchanging stories and continuing to nourish their dreams. The townsfolk admired their love, calling them "Evergreen's sweethearts." Years flew by, and their dreams became closer to reality. Ethan's photographs caught the attention of a prestigious art gallery, and Lily received a scholarship to a renowned music academy in a distant city. Their ambitions were taking them away from Evergreen, but their love remained unwavering. With heavy hearts, Ethan and Lily bid farewell to the town that had nurtured their dreams and set off on separate journeys to fulfill their destinies. The separation was unbearable, but they promised each other that distance would only make their bond stronger. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Ethan's photography career soared as his work was exhibited around the world. Lily's musical prowess enchanted audiences, and she became one of the most sought-after pianists of her time. Their success seemed unstoppable, but fate had a cruel twist in store. One fateful day, as Ethan was on his way to a photography exhibition, tragedy struck. A reckless driver swerved into his lane, colliding head-on with his car. The accident was catastrophic, leaving Ethan in critical condition. News of the accident spread like wildfire, reaching Lily's ears in the midst of a standing ovation after a breathtaking performance. Her heart sank as she rushed to be by Ethan's side, desperate to hold on to the love they had cultivated through the years. Arriving at the hospital, Lily was met with devastating news. Ethan, the love of her life, had succumbed to his injuries. The world around her crumbled, and everything she had ever dreamt of turned into ash. Lily's once melodious hands now struggled to find solace on the piano keys. The music that once flowed effortlessly now echoed with grief. She had lost her muse, her reason to play. The town of Evergreen mourned the loss of their sweethearts, forever etching their love into the hearts of the townsfolk. Lily could no longer bear the weight of her sorrow. Consumed by grief, she disappeared into the depths of her pain, leaving her music, dreams, and Evergreen behind. The town lost its vibrant spirit, and the oak tree that had witnessed their love began to wither, mirroring the tragedy that had befallen two young souls. Years later, during a summer storm, lightning struck the once-majestic oak tree, causing it to fall. The townsfolk watched as the symbol of everlasting love was reduced to rubble. It seemed as if even nature was mourning the tragedy that had unfolded. Evergreen never truly recovered from the tragedy that befell Lily and Ethan. Their love story, once filled with hope, ended in heartbreak, leaving a void that could never be filled. The memory of their love, however, remained eternally vibrant in the hearts of the town, a reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring power of love.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
