Chapter 449
Snowflakes
“We fucked last night. You should stop hoping on him. Cupid is mine.’
Finished
The words rang again and again in my head as I sat in the waiting hall, my heart sinking lower and lower until it reached the darkest depth inside me.
It stung.
No, it hurt.
No, it was more than pain.
Goosebumps shivered across my skin and I tried to swallow, only for my eyes to brim with tears.
I have experienced heartbreak before, too many times. The first was learning I did not carry Frost blood.
The second, realizing my true blood family did not want me, and never would. The third was losing my virginity in a dark alley, forcibly.
More pain followed. Layers of trauma, including the moment I discovered the man I married had cheated and lied.
But none of those pain hollowed me out the way this did.
This one came sudden, heavy, suffocating, and I tried to breathe, but I couldn’t.
He had disconnected the call so swiftly, and then my phone rang again. I believed it was him.
I hurried to answer only for a woman’s voice to speak.
It couldn’t be.
I blinked frantically, reaching to call him again, but something in my mind blanked.
I froze for a heart-stopping second, eyes fixed on nothing as background noise faded.
Chatter, laughter, every sound distorted.
I tried to grasp reality but the phone slipped from my fingers and I blinked, trying to help myself but nothing worked.
Then I turned and saw Sera sideways.
A frown creased my face, confused why she was standing at an angle, until the floor slammed into the back of my head and I realized I was the one who had fallen.
I tried to breathe but only gasped, gagged.
“Snow!” sera screamed, her voice echoing far away. “Help! Snow! Snow!”
She rushed to catch me as nurses and doctors stampeded toward us.
I tried to stay awake, not to surrender to the numbness but I couldn’t fight long.
My eyelids grew heavy. The ache in my heart unbearable.
I fluttered my eyes and the last sight a doctor kneeling beside me.
My eyelids fell, and before unconsciousness claimed me, I whispered a prayer.
Not just a prayer, a plea, and I begged the Moon Goddess to grant it.
I have never wanted too much, neither from human region nor werewolf territory.
But now, I want something. A life.
I don’t want to die.
I want to live so I can fight for who I love, for who I want.
***
It was the sound of rushing footsteps that pulled me awake.
