Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 61

Chapter 48

As I angled my head to the left, the glowing words on the wall caught my eye, and my heart skipped a beat as I read the tender message

“You’re beautiful.” I turned back to wall in front of me, where another message shone bright: “You’re strong” My eyes welled up with emotion as I turned to the right, and a third message, equally heartfelt, greeted me: “You’re loved. “The gentle glow of the lantern seemed to infuse these words with a deep, abiding truth, filling my soul with warmth and comfort.

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I felt the weight of Deckard’s thoughtful gift settle in my heart. In a world where everyone seemed to be racing towards their own goals, often leaving others in their dust, it was a rare and precious thing to have people who cared so deeply, so selflessly. The messages on the lantern seemed to encapsulate the essence of their love and support, reminding me that I wasn’t alone in this chaotic, fast–paced life.
