As the night came to an end, Jessy and Nick exchanged numbers, happy to have formed a new friendship. The next morning, Jessy woke up feeling a sense of happiness. However, her mood quickly shifted to sadness when she saw the wolf bear that Nick had given her. The bear reminded her of Bram and brought back memories that made her miss him.
Feeling the absence of Bram, Jessy placed the wolf bear on the other side of her bed, imagining it as Bram lying there. She hugged the bear tightly, expressing her longing by saying, "I miss you." Afterward, she proceeded to take a shower, hoping that the comforting water would ease her sadness.
While getting dressed, Jessy received a message from Nick that read, "Good morning, Jess. Last night was fun!" She read the message with a smile, appreciating the friendly gesture. However, she couldn't help but notice that Nick had called her "Jess," a nickname that no one had ever used before.
Amused by this newfound nickname, Jessy chuckled to herself and replied, "Yeah, me too! I'll be heading to the diner in a few minutes. See you there!"
Nick replied with a simple "See you!" message, and Jessy couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing him again. However, as her gaze fell upon the wolf bear, her smile faded, and a wave of sadness washed over her.
Taking a deep breath, Jessy shook her head gently, as if trying to clear her mind of the lingering memories and emotions. She whispered to herself, "Enough, Jessy. Let's just move forward."
Determined to focus on the present and embrace the new possibilities that awaited her, Jessy gathered her strength and headed to the diner. She knew that healing and growth required her to let go of the past and open herself up to new experiences and connections.
In Bram's world, he carried on with his life, assuming the role of an alpha, as his nature dictated. Despite the pain he felt deep inside, he made a conscious decision to keep moving forward. Bram chose to live his life, even though he regretted leaving Jessy behind.
With a heavy heart, Bram pushed aside his regrets and focused on the responsibilities that came with being an alpha. He immersed himself in his duties, leading his pack and ensuring their well-being. Through his actions, he projected strength and resilience, masking the inner turmoil he carried.
Though the memories of Jessy lingered in his mind, Bram understood that he had made a choice, and now he had to live with the consequences. He couldn't undo the past, but he could strive to create a meaningful and purposeful future for himself and his pack.
Despite the pain and regret that haunted him, Bram resolved to make the most of his life, finding solace in his role as an alpha and the bonds he shared with his pack.
One day, as Bram stood on the brink of a towering mountain, his eyes fixed upon the distant shore, he found himself engulfed in a sea of memories that he simply couldn't erase. Thoughts of Jessy flooded his mind, intertwining with the breathtaking view before him.
Every recollection of their time together, every shared laugh and tender moment, tugged at his heartstrings, breaking it into fragments with each passing thought. The pain of their separation weighed heavily upon him, a constant ache that seemed to seep into the very depths of his being.
As he stood there, the wind whispering through his hair, Bram couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right choice. Regret gnawed at him, as he questioned whether leaving Jessy was truly the best path for both of them. The memories of their love and connection haunted him, a bittersweet reminder of what they once had.
Yet, despite the anguish that consumed him, Bram knew he had to find a way to move forward. He couldn't let his broken heart hold him captive in the past. With a deep breath, he made a silent vow to honor their memories by living a life filled with purpose and growth, even if it meant doing so without Jessy by his side.
As he turned away from the edge of the mountain, Bram carried with him the weight of his shattered heart, but also a glimmer of hope. He knew that healing would take time, but he was determined to find solace in the beauty of the world around him, embracing the journey of self-discovery and finding a new sense of purpose.
Liyah, Bram's best friend, always took the initiative to approach him, determined to bring a glimmer of happiness to his saddened heart. She made it her mission to make Bram laugh, going above and beyond to lift his spirits. Liyah assured Bram, saying, "I am your best friend, Bram. I'm here to help you move on."
Bram found solace in Liyah's presence and appreciated her unwavering support. However, deep within himself, he grappled with conflicting emotions. He questioned whether he truly wanted to move on from the memories of Jessy or if he should remain in the state of longing and sorrow.
The idea of moving on seemed daunting to Bram. He feared that by doing so, he might forget the love he had shared with Jessy or betray the depth of his feelings. The thought of embracing a future without her felt like an insurmountable challenge.
"Thank you, Liyah," Bram expressed with gratitude, "but I think I need to figure this out on my own." With those words, Bram retreated into the solace of his room, leaving Liyah feeling saddened and disappointed.
Liyah understood Bram's desire for independence and respected his decision to navigate his emotions in his own way. However, it pained her to see her best friend withdraw, fearing that he might isolate himself further in his struggle to find healing and move forward.
As Bram closed the door behind him, Liyah couldn't help but feel a sense of longing to support him, to be there for him through his pain. She knew that sometimes, the journey of healing required the strength and resilience of an individual, but she wished she could alleviate some of his burden.
With a heavy heart, Liyah made a promise to herself to remain a steadfast friend, ready to offer support and understanding whenever Bram was ready to reach out. She hoped that in time, he would find the courage to open up and allow her to walk alongside him on his path to healing.
That night, as Bram slept in his wolf form, he found himself caught in a dream where Jessy was in trouble. Startled awake, Bram's mind raced as he contemplated what he should do. He paced back and forth in his room, a mix of emotions swirling within him.
Frustration and anger welled up inside Bram as he realized that his responsibilities as the leader of his pack prevented him from immediately going to Jessy's aid. The conflict between his desire to be there for her and his duty to his pack weighed heavily on his heart.
Bram made up his mind to leave that very night. He devised a plan to ensure his absence would go unnoticed by his pack, intending to return before they could realize he was gone. With a singular focus on Jessy, he set off, running as fast as his legs could carry him, his thoughts consumed by her.
As Bram arrived near Jessy's house, he stood at a distance and observed from the shadows. His heart pounded with anticipation as he contemplated taking a step closer. However, just as he was about to make his move, his gaze fell upon a scene that filled him with a mix of jealousy and anger.
