"The only thing to stop the bond from getting stronger is doing significant damage to it.”

“What kind of damage?”

“I think you know exactly what kind of damage Keenan, the worst and most unimaginable things you can think of? Do it. If the damage is bad enough, it could even kill the bond. The more you starve and neglect this bond, the more it will wither and hopefully... die. But you can’t half-ass it, Keenan, you have to be committed.”

And I WOULD be.

I once wrote a story, a brutal story

About a human girl who was destined for the alpha beast

Only he could not find her worthy

So he threw her to his wolves to feast

He'd taken everything from her

Her laugh, her love, her peace

He didn't know

That the bond was not meant for release

Your mate is a most treasured gift from the moon

and like an arrogant child

From the goddess's fury, he thought he was immune

He'd have to see her

As she rose from the ground

And finally, she grasped, that to him she was not bound

She had choices

A chance to claim the life that was stolen

Now by his hand

She could no longer be broken

All while she finds solace in the arms of his enemy, once his friend

He'd live life longing for her

Yearning for the future that could've been

But the moon's wrath he should've heeded

For with this karma

He realized he was never needed

Tame a Monster

“Alright, so make sure the lounging area is always spotless when you take clients at the desk, you’ll be giving the dogs baths and help me out with whatever I need, it’s nothing too difficult. You’ll be getting a check every week instead of bi-weekly, just come in to pick it up if you want it early, or you can wait to receive it the next time you work. 


I nodded, after three days of volunteering at the dog shelter and pet groomers, Ms. Randall, the owner of both, decided to offer me a position as her dog groomers assistant. I’ll be helping her with simple tasks like, washing and preparing the dogs, prepping the equipment, cleaning, and dealing with clients. 


Today was my orientation and Ms. Randall was giving me the rundown of her shop. I tried not to make it so obvious how excited I really was to work there, it would be my first job ever. I adore animals, but most importantly I’d finally have my own money!
