SHADOWED DESIRE A love shrouded in secrets

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen
As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

The moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting its silver glow over the dense forest below. Ava’s heart raced as she ran through the woods, the crisp autumn air stinging her lungs.

She could feel the wildness of the forest pulsing around her, calling to something deep within her soul. As she sprinted deeper into the heart of the forest, the shadows seemed to grow thicker, twisting and contorting like living creatures. But Ava was undeterred.

A vital force dragged her forward, leading her to a destiny she did not yet understand. Suddenly she came across a clearing covered in moonlight.

There stood a majestic wolf; its fur was a mixture of midnight black and shimmering silver. Her eyes, pools of warm liquid, locked with Ava’s and she felt a familiar shock course through her body. Without hesitation, Ava approached the magnificent animal; Her hands were together with excitement and fear.

As she drew closer, she could sense the power emanating from the wolf, a power that seemed to resonate with her very essence. But just as Ava reached out to touch the wolf, it vanished into thin air, leaving her standing alone in the moonlit clearing.

Confusion and disappointment flooded her, leaving her feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Suddenly, a voice shattered the silence, echoing through the trees like a thunderclap. “Ava.” Startled, Ava whirled around to see a figure emerging from the shadows.

Tall and imposing, he has sharp blue eyes that seem to see into his soul. She instinctively knew that he was the leader of the nearby pack. As she approached the it, she felt a strange magnetic force pulling her towards him, he was pulling her into his circle even as the alarm was going off in her head.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said, his voice low and hypnotic. Ava’s heart was pounding as she tried to make sense of the thoughts that were wracking her.

Part of her wanted to run, to flee from this enigmatic stranger and the dangerous world he represented. But another part of her, a part she could barely acknowledge, longed to stay and explore the forbidden depths of desire that simmered between them.

With a mixture of fear and longing coursing through her veins, Ava took a hesitant step forward, knowing that her life would never be the same again.

As her hand reached out to make contact, she was jolted awake by a sudden drenching sensation, accompanied by a harsh voice piercing through her slumber. “Rise and shine, lazybones! There’s work to be done, so quit lounging around like a sloth.”

Ava woke up gasping for air. She felt annoyed. “Why won’t this woman wake her up in a normal way? Always using this brutal way to wake her up, as if she’s not human Or even wait a little longer so that she can finish dreaming about this Alpha that has been coming to her dream,” she thought to herself.

While struggling to stand up, she greeted, “Good morning, mom.” “What’s good about the morning, Ava?” her mom asked her. “Will you just keep standing there or get ready to go to Alpha Tristan’s house to work? And don’t mess around. You know one of your sisters is going to end up marrying him in the future.
