Firework

The next morning, I woke up to an empty house. I didn’t even know where he had slept, but I ignored it. I was not the past me who worried about him anymore.

I went to the shower and just got ready for work.

I worked as a mentor at Promise High, a special school for shifters in the city center of High Moon Pack. As one of the top students during my time there, the headmaster felt I was well-suited to teach. It made me happy, not just because of the job itself but also because it meant I could stay in the bustling city center.

But at that time, my mind was in turmoil. Ever since I had come back to Jared’s house, I no longer felt attached. It was starting to feel like it might be better if I didn’t live with him anymore.

Still, the thought of moving back to my parents’ house was bittersweet, it would mean giving up my dream of living in the city center and continuing my work at Promise High.

I could not help muttering to myself, “Should I buy a house in the city center?”

Suddenly, Serena chimed in, ‘It is a waste of money!’

I sighed, could not help complaining, “I know, but can you still stand living with Jared?”

Serena was silent for a moment before replying, ‘I don’t know about Jared, but I’m still very attached to his wolf, Black.”

It seemed Serena wasn’t fully on board with my choice to leave, torn by her bond with Black. Also, after two years together, my parents and Jared’s parents were both starting to talk about marriage. The thought of letting them down if things fell apart weighed heavily on me.

As I stood there, lost in thought, a knock came at the front door.

When opening it, I was greeted by a familiar face. “Thomas?”

“Hi, morning, Olivia. I brought you this.”

He held out a breakfast bag from Jared, explaining that he had slept at the Alpha office last night because of some work and was worried I hadn’ teaten.

“Thanks,” I said, accepting the breakfast.

Thomas smiled and replied, “Anytime. Oh, I’ve got some duties at Promise High today. How about we go there together?”

“Sure, just give me a minute,” I replied, feeling a little lighter. It had been too long since I had spent time with Thomas because he had been so busy lately.

I placed the breakfast in the kitchen, untouched, and left with Thomas. After all, Jared’s small

gestures of kindness no longer had any effect on me.

On the way, Thomas asked about the gift I had forgotten all about. It was also still in Jared’s car, since I wanted to open it at my parents’ house yesterday.

“Sorry, I’ll open it later,” I apologized.

Thomas just laughed and replied, “That’s fine. Let me know if you like it.

I playfully punched his arm, saying, “I’m sure I will. You know me well enough not to get me something I wouldn’t like.

We laughed and joked all the way to the academy.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

While teaching, I forgot all my troubles. But as soon as my classes ended, reality set in again. The dread crept back in on the way home.

When I got back to the house, it was still empty, just as I had left it. The breakfast was still sitting

where I had put it, becoming stale. Without a second thought, I picked it up and threw it in the trash. As I did, Jared appeared in the doorway, his face clouded with irritation.

“You threw away the breakfast I bought for you?”

His words carried a mix of displeasure and anger, his deep eyes fixed on me.

I nodded and sneered, “I didn’t like it.’

I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my arm.

“Olivia, are you still upset?”
