Chapter 119-Ryan’s POV – Dear husband
“My dear husband,
I know we haven’t exchanged the vows but in my heart you have and always been the one and only one. I don’t know how you will be able to explain this to all those waiting at that stadium. I don’t know how you will cope with what I am about to say.
Just know that this is not another betrayal.
I love you.
I am not leaving you.
But I have to go now. It’s not something in my hand.
Take care of yourself. Take care of our new pack.
I promise I will return. Wait for me to come back. So for now my dear Ryan, you are the deputy Alpha. You are in charge.”
That was what she sent me.
My mobile phone crashed on the floor as I ran towards my car.
I ran straight home.
The limo was still standing in front of the gate. Rose was waiting there with a smile but it faded as soon as she saw my face.
” Ryan? Why are you here? What happened? ”
She rushed inside as she saw me dart in without answering.
I broke into the room where her scent was still coming from.
“Sherry… Sherizad…. Sherry….. Don’t joke with me like this. Come out. Please come out. ”
I cried. I literally, a grown a*The werewolf was sobbing like a child.
And there her phone was.
I sniffed it hard. It still had her warmth. It still had the essence of her touch.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
” No…. Sherry no. You can’t do this to me. You can’t leave me alone like this again. ”
I fell with a stud on the ground.
” Ryan…. Ryan what happened? ”
Rose sat down beside me as she saw me grabbing my hair and kicking my leg. A side of me that she could never imagine.
” Ssshhhh! Ryan. Ryan calm down. Tell me everything. Tell me what happened? Where is Sherry. I just left her in the room and went out. Why are you even here? Where could she have gone? ”
I had no answer. I could not answer.
I handed over Sherry’s last text.
I was jerking as the tides of tears drenched the carpet below.
Rose suddenly hugged me.
“It’s ok. It’s ok Ryan. She must have had her reasons. She will come back. ”
I must have been really shocked or drained, I don’t know but I hugged her back.

It has been years now.
Sherry just disappeared on our wedding day like thin air.
I don’t blame her but I just wish she could have at least told me the reason for her disappearance.
I have tried searching for her everywhere. I am still searching in the mountains, in the clouds and even the deepest trenches on every corner of planet earth.
I stayed awake all night , a habit I had forgotten even since she had come back to my life.
Whenever the phone rings it used to send a chill of excitement down my spine. But now it’s alright. It doesn’t bug me anymore.
I sit with her picture on my desk and sometimes browse through her phone gallery and laugh at all the weird selfies that she had.
One such night, I was drinking on my roof and admiring her silly images when suddenly a message beeped on her screen.
Normally I avoided all her incoming calls and texts.
But this one I had to open because it began with my name.
The text read,
” Ryan, I love you babes. “
