"What's the story behind it?"
"To remind us that no matter what happens, or how many times we get departed. We will surely unite when triumph becomes our ally, and pain is no longer the puppeteer of us."
Once upon a time, there was a cruel werewolf...

CHAPTER 2
I can feel myself slipping out of darkness; as I start to hear some hushed noises. I give it a shot and try to open my eyes but I'm blinded by the bright light. I growl lowly as the light burns my eyes therefore, I'm forced to shut them again. I decide to allow my eyes to rest before I give it another go. That is until I feel a presence near me getting too close to my liking.
"Malia?" I hear an angelic voice saying my name in a way that sends shivers down my spine. I open my eyes again, but I take my time in order not to hurt myself again. The events of the night before come to me like lighting. I warily turn around to face the person who is next to me.
Roman... all I feel towards him is pity. The look on his face says it all; he was certainly looking forward to meet his mate; despite the coldness he's known for; only for that mate to turn out to be me. Don't say that, I'm sure that he will love us like any good mate
Control yourself Star we are barely conscious for fuck's sake!! I snap at my annoying wolf.
After pulling Star to the back of my head, I recall every event that happened last night. Last thing I remember is being surrounded in Roman's arms. I unwillingly focus my attention at Roman, mesmerizing his green eyes that send Star jumping in happiness inside of me. Really?! You've been quiet for what? Ten seconds!! Don't you get tired?! But she just ignores me. Rude!
"What happened?" I ask in dry voice as I try to sit up only to fall back onto the mattress from the ache that comes rushing into me. Why does the goddess hate me so much?! It literally makes me want to hug a silver wall.
"It's ok. Just relax!" I look back at the most handsome person I have ever met but I got lost between looking into his forest green eyes and full pink lips as he spoke. Star, this is your last warning, or so help me God... but my threat is cut short by my stupid mate!
"You're in the doctor's office where he's been treating you. But don't worry you're all good now, just don't put too much pressure on your hand you don't want to cause any further damage." I nod not saying another word as I start getting up again making sure not to hurt my hand. Roman comes closer in an attempt to help me but I stop moving and flinch away from him trying to give him the message that I can do it myself, but he doesn't seem to get it as he tries to help me again.
"I can take care of myself." I say in harsh tone that I know it might've hurt him, but I'm not going to sugar coat it to him and lead him on when I wasn't planning on staying here any longer. "I'm not a kid. I don't need your help..." again I know I'm being hard on him but I don't want him to get close to me so that it won't be that hard on him when I leave.
I take my time in moving around so I don't make any wrong move. I stand up making sure that I'm steady before I start to make my way to the door. I can sense Roman's eyes as they follow my every move as he tries to read my mind. And I guess that he directly figures my intentions out since I find him by my side in less than a second putting his hand on the door preventing me from moving any further.
