Novel & Cerita Autumn Promise

“You still there?” “Yeah.” She sighed disgruntled by my choice. “I just don’t want you to waste one of the best times of your life.” “I’m not Becca. I promise. And when we graduate and I move out west to be with you then I’ll let you play matchmaker for me, deal?” “Do you promise?” she asked questionably. And as much as I wanted to take back my offer I knew if I was ever going to let her drop this I couldn’t.

He was not sure what he wanted from her. He was obviously excited by her fear, yet bothered by it. “Who marries just because of a childhood promise. Why is mine coming to hunt? I also promised to give my childhood neighbor four children, is he also going to pop out?” she blurted and his cold gaze swept over her. “Your mouth is really quick, isn’t it? It moves before your brain can keep up,” he said. “I’m sorry,” she lowered her head. “I won’t kill you? At least not to keep my secret,” he said in frustration.

He was getting under my skin and I didn’t want to have him know it. “We don’t know if I am pregnant yet and there is no way in hell that you are going to tell me what to do” I retorted. “I said that you are not going back to your old pack simply because it is not safe there. If you really feel like you don’t want to be here, then go somewhere else, just not there. I won’t be able to live if I find out that something might have happened to you and I am unable to protect you. After all, all those years ago when you were born and I was only seven years old, I made a promise that I will protect you with my life and I do not intend on breaking that promise any time soon” Rowan said.

Sol asked me, and I nodded. "Can you tell me about them?" I shook my head, and he let it go. "Maybe I will, one day, but not tonight. I promise," I told him. I felt him kiss the top of my head as he whispered, "Take your time. I'm always waiting for you." ###

They ridiculed her for throwing away a diamond for a piece of glass, only to end up wallowing in a mess of her own making. Notifications of these updates popped up on my phone while I was on dates with Margaret. I simply glanced at them before turning off the screen immediately. The past and the people in it were a closed chapter. What mattered more to me was Margaret, sitting across from me. Our bond gradually grew stronger over dinners, movies, and visits to art galleries. … The first snow of the season fell in Glenford on Christmas Day. I reserved a table at the revolving restaurant at the mountain summit. Through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, we could gaze down at the city's shim

"I will grow. I will become someone who can protect others as Elara protected me - not through sacrifice, but through strength. Through knowledge. Through the kind of power that does not require wearing another's face or erasing another's existence." Lumira reached out and took Autumn's hand. Their fingers interlaced with a pressure that spoke of bonds forged in fire and tested in loss, of two people who had watched the world burn and chosen to build something from the ashes. "Promise me," Autumn whispered, and her voice carried the weight of every promise Lumira had made and kept, every promise she had made and broken, every choice that had led to this garden, this moment, this fragile peac

While adjusting his tie, he said, "After the photo shoot, I'm taking Isabelle to Holy Moon Spring for purification and blessing to keep the pregnancy safe. I'll be gone for about three days. "So you'll handle the ceremony arrangements. Just keep it simple.” He'd told me not to worry about it. But now he dismissed the day we'd spent five years waiting for with nothing more than a throwaway "keep it simple". I knew the bonding ceremony would never happen. Still, hearing him say it cut deep. Ryder picked up his keys. "Once it's all over, I'll give you the prime territory as compensation. You've always loved the forest by Silvercrest, haven't you?"

Her throat bobbed as she swallowed. I'm sure she was thinking the same thing I was. This was a one time thing, we may likely not come back here together again. But Aurora didn't tell him that. “If there’s an opportunity for us to come back together,” she said carefully, “then we will.” Alex’s eyes lit up. “Pwomise?” She hesitated for half a second. Then she nodded. “I promise.” I said nothing. My chest felt too full for words. The drive stretched on, the city thinning out, the buildings giving way to trees and quiet streets. I slowed as we approached the gates, the familiar wrought iron opening smoothly as my car rolled forward.

he commented. I shrugged as we walked towards the SUV parked on the street. “I clicked with her instantly and there’s something major about her that I trust. She and I both came to this place recently and we don’t know anyone else. We were both looking for friends and figured we could be that for each other. She’s a little weird, but then again so am I. It works.” He stopped me from walking, holding my hand as sparks shot through my arm. “You need to be more careful about who you let into your life Autumn.”
