Chapter 1 A second Chance

The city of Lusaka, Zambia, is a place where stories of hardship and resilience unfold on its dusty streets every day. It is a city that has seen its fair share of struggles, but amidst the chaos and poverty, it is also a place where the human spirit sometimes shines brightest.

One sweltering afternoon in the heart of Lusaka, a young boy named Caleb Gwazani had his life set on an unforeseeable course. He was just three years old, with a mop of curly black hair and eyes that sparkled with curiosity. But Caleb was different from most children his age – he was deaf and unable to speak. Born into a world of silence, his world was lonely and quiet, and he often felt isolated even in the midst of bustling life in the city.

Caleb's journey had taken a tragic turn when, at the tender age of three, his own parents had abandoned him. In a cruel act of abandonment, they had left him to fend for himself in a drainage ditch, far away from the watchful eyes of society. The drainage was a place of filth and danger, and for three long days, Caleb endured unimaginable suffering. Hunger gnawed at his tiny frame, and the world seemed to have turned its back on him.

But fate had a different plan for Caleb, one that would restore his faith in humanity. On that fateful third day, a stranger named John Cale, a man with a heart as big as the African sky, stumbled upon the drainage. He had been passing by, drawn by some inexplicable force, when he heard faint whimpering coming from the depths of the ditch. John Cale, a man known for his kindness and willingness to help those in need, couldn't ignore the cry for help.

He peered down into the darkness and, to his shock, found the small, emaciated figure of Caleb lying there, his eyes pleading for salvation. Without a second thought, John Cale scrambled down the rocky slope, disregarding the muck and stench. Gently, he cradled Caleb in his arms, wrapping the fragile child in his own jacket. Caleb's body was frail and cold, but his spirit, though battered, was still alive.

John Cale didn't waste a moment. He rushed Caleb to the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, where a dedicated medical team awaited them. The doctors and nurses, heroes in their own right, sprang into action. They worked tirelessly to resuscitate the tiny, fragile boy who had been left to die in a drainage.

As the minutes turned into hours, Caleb's heartbeat grew stronger, and his breathing became more steady. The medical team refused to give up on him, knowing that every life was precious. Their collective effort, fueled by compassion and determination, paid off. Caleb began to show signs of life.

In the dimly lit hospital room, the young boy's eyes fluttered open for the first time in days. He blinked up at the faces surrounding him, faces filled with a mixture of relief and hope. John Cale, the stranger who had become his savior, stood by Caleb's side, tears streaming down his cheeks as he witnessed this incredible moment of rebirth.

Caleb Gwazani had been given a second chance at life, a chance that he would come to cherish and make the most of in the years to come. Little did he know that the kindness of a stranger and the dedication of a medical team would shape his destiny in ways he could never have imagined...

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play.
