Chapter 21***Amira****The tension in the room dissipates as the music begins to play again. People start to dance and laugh, the fear slowly lifting from my face. Alex and I joined in, reveling in the joy of the moment. As we danced , I caught the eyes of the other guests. They seemed to understand what has just happened, and they nodded in gratitude. It felt like a new beginning, a fresh start. I felt a sense of hope, of possibility.I couldn't help but feel relieved that the Andre was gone. The fear and uncertainty he had brought to the party was gone, replaced by a sense of calm and peace. I knew that the work was not done, that the Andre might return, but for now, we could enjoy the moment. We danced and laughed, enjoying each other's company and the company of our new friends. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I belonged.As the night went on, Alex and I lost ourselves in the music and the company of our new friends. We talked and laughed, sharing stories and jokes

Chapter 23****Amira****I have been thinking all through the night, I just wanted to fight Andre again, this time Ikmoee determined. Alex stared at me in surprise. "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" he asked . "Andre is the Alpha and he is a dangerous and powerful being, and he will not hesitate to harm you. Please, I don't want to see you get hurt." I was determined. "If I don't do something, he'll destroy everything we've worked for," I said . "He's taken everything from me, and I want to take it back." I tried to convince Alex, I don’t know if I was doing the right thing. Alex and I spent the next few days gathering supplies and making a plan. I practiced with a sword, while Alex studied a map of the Pack so theat he would know the best way to penetrate and attack. I know it won't be easy, but I was determined to face Andre and fight for my future and future of my kids. In the morning of the battle, Alex and I set out at dawn, my heart pounding with fear. And as we app

Chapter 25****Amira****As I watched Alex lay on the bed, I felt a well of anger rise up inside me. "This is all his fault," I thought to myself . "If Andre hadn't come into our lives, everything would be fine. We would have our perfect, peace , and my life would be on track. But now everything was in disarray, and I couldn’t help but feel like it's all because of him." I struggled to push down my anger, but it was a difficult task. I had never felt so angry and hurt before.Alex’s recovery was slow and painful. He underwent several surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy, and the side effects were difficult to bear. He lost his hair, his energy, and his appetite. But through it all, he never lost his spirit. He was determined to fight for himself and for me, and to come out on the other side a stronger person. Even on the hardest days, he would find a way to make me smile. And through it all, our love for each other only grew.Just when I thought that Alex and I might finally be able

Chapter 27•••••••Amira****We stayed to our satisfaction, I was happy to see the beautiful smiles on everyone’s face, my children loved the outing . This few moments spent with them made me realize how much I have missed me and how much they just have missed the bond of a mother. I was happy that I did this for them, even though I do not know what the future held. As we family drove back home, we stopped at a gas station to fill up the car. I walked inside to pay, I saw a familiar face behind the counter. It was Derrick , my ex-boyfriend. Since we broken up a few years ago, I haven’t seen him since. I wasn't sure what to say or do, so she just smiled and said hello. Derrick wearily smiled back, and there was a moment of awkward silence. Finally, I broke the tension. "It's good to see you," I said.Derrick started to say something, but I quickly cut him off. "I don't have time to chat," I said. "I need to get back on the road." Derelict looked surprised but he nodded. "Of course,

Chapter 29“*****Amira*****As the days progresses inot months. Each passing day Alex’s health continued to decline, at an instant it would be fine and then the next minute it will be so bad and it became clear that he would not be able to recover. I was devastated, but I did everything I could to make him comfortable. I arranged for hospice care, and I spent every minute with him that I could. I held his hand, I read to him, and I talked to him about our life together. I told him how much I loved him, and how grateful I was for the time we had together. I told him that I would always carry him in her heart.As I sat by Alex’s bedside, I thought about how quickly life can change. One moment, everything can be going well, and the next, everything can be turned upside down. I thought about all the plans we had made, all the things we had wanted to do, and all the dreams we had had for the future. I realized that life is unpredictable, and that the only thing we can really control is h
