The Last Three Years
Chapter 1 It’s been three years since I last saw him. One-thousand and ninety-five days since he slammed the front door and never looked back. I’ve thought many times about that day. Every time has led to tears as I remember how many mistakes I made that never had the chance to be rectified. Of course, I would do it differently if I could, but second chances like that only happen in movies. I hurt him. I knew that as I was doing it, and yet I could never find the strength to stop. It went on for a long time, the affair that is, and like many mistakes, it started off innocent. A friendly coworker, a few late nights, inside jokes, and an accidental kiss.

Fire & Ash
I remember the scent of burnt flesh most clearly. It’s nearly impossible to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced the smell for themselves. Ask anyone who has though, and they’ll tell you; No matter how often you bathe, or what pretty little perfumes you might spray yourself with, no matter how many years pass, you can’t ever completely rid yourself of it.

Savage heart
Start writing...Chapter 1: The Call of the Wild In the heart of the dense, ancient forest, a chilling howl pierced the night air. It was a sound that carried the essence of the wilderness itself, a melody that resonated through the trees and into the hearts of all who heard it. The moon cast an ethereal glow upon the towering pines, and amidst the shadows, a solitary figure emerged: Asher, a young and powerful alpha wolf. Asher's fur glistened silver in the moonlight, a testament to his strength and vitality. His piercing amber eyes scanned the surroundings, alert and watchful. The call of the pack echoed in his ears, a distant but familiar chorus that beckoned him to the gathering place. As he moved with grace through the undergrowth, his thoughts were filled with a sense of duty and purpose. Chapter 2: The Pack's Council At the heart of the forest, a large clearing served as the council ground for the pack. Wolves of all ages and sizes gathered there, their eyes fixed on Asher as he approached. His father, Elden, the former alpha, now wise with age, sat atop a stone pedestal, his silver-gray coat a symbol of his leadership. "Elders and siblings," Asher began, his voice strong and commanding. "The challenges of the wilderness are upon us, and it's our duty to protect our territory and our way of life." As the council continued, each wolf shared their insights and concerns. There were whispers of rival packs encroaching on their territory and the scarcity of prey due to a harsh winter. Tensions ran high, but Asher's determination and leadership steadied their resolve. Chapter 3: Trials and Triumphs Days turned into weeks, and the pack faced trials that tested their strength and unity. Asher led hunting parties, using his keen senses to track down elusive prey. He mentored the young pups, teaching them the ways of the wild and the importance of working together. But amidst the challenges, bonds grew stronger, and the pack's unity became an unbreakable force. Chapter 4: The Temptation of the Unknown One day, a stranger entered their territory—an enigmatic black wolf named Luna. Her eyes held a mystique that drew Asher in, and her allure stirred conflicting emotions within him. The pack was divided over her presence, with some questioning her intentions and others entranced by her charisma. Luna spoke of a distant land with abundant game and shelter, a paradise untouched by rival packs. Her words resonated with those tired of the constant struggle for survival. Asher found himself torn between his loyalty to the pack and the promise of a better life. Chapter 5: Loyalty Tested As tensions reached a boiling point, Asher was faced with a heart-wrenching decision. He realized that his loyalty lay with his pack, the family he had sworn to protect and lead. In a tense confrontation, he challenged Luna's authority, revealing her true motives—to weaken the pack and take control for herself. The ensuing battle was fierce, a clash of teeth and claws that echoed through the forest. Asher's savage heart burned with determination as he fought for his pack's future. With a final, powerful leap, he overcame Luna, proving his strength and resilience. Chapter 6: The Strength of Unity Luna's defeat marked a turning point for the pack. As the sun broke through the trees, casting a warm glow upon their exhausted forms, Asher stood before his pack as a true alpha. The bond between them had deepened through adversity, and they now understood that their strength lay not only in their individual abilities, but in their unity. With renewed determination, the pack embraced their savage hearts and faced the challenges of the wild with unwavering resolve. As the seasons changed, their territory flourished, and their legend as a united pack, led by Asher's fierce leadership, echoed through the ages. And so, the tale of Asher and his pack, their struggles and triumphs, became a testament to the enduring spirit of the wild and the unbreakable bond of the savage heart.
