The Midnight Hour: A Violet Hour Series Novella (Book 0.5)

  Chapter 5

  Dear Logan,

  This, by far, is the most difficult thing I’ve ever done because, if you’re reading this, it can only mean one thing. I regret putting you through this – no child should have to suffer the loss of a parent at such a young age. But I hope the pain you feel now is temporary and pales in comparison to what could’ve been a lifetime filled with suffering.

  When you were born, you were a miracle beyond measure. I can’t begin to describe how much you changed our lives for the better. You were everything I ever wanted and the one thing I feared I would never have – a daughter. Everyone was certain you had a divine destiny awaiting, but I knew they were wrong. Since your birth, you’ve brought so much joy to not only me, but everyone that meets you. You’ve matured into a strong and confident young woman whom I’m proud to not only know but call my own. I’ve tried my best to do everything in my power every single day to care for you, love you, protect you, and above all, to make certain you could choose your own path.

  I’ve always believed that the only true destiny is love.

  As you know by now, your father and I chose to become werewolves – it was either that or die. Bittersweet because that decision ultimately led me to you – the absolute love of my life. But it also forever changed me. I would not change a single, life-altering step, not a heartbreaking decision, nor a calculated choice. Don’t think, for one moment, that I made any decision because I had to – I made them because I wanted to. I chose every path I’ve been down because of my devotion to you. My love for you has no bounds.

  And love is not always about happy endings.

  You were forged from my hopes and dreams and born from my heart. I leave everything I am with you. Though the pain of loss never completely fades, there will come a time when there are no more tears. Trust me, you’ll see. Wherever I am now, I’d rather be anywhere but here without you.

  This is the time, that chapter in your life, when you find out who you are.

  I’ll always love you. Far beyond forever.

  Love, Mom
