Moving On

Cley's Pov:

It feels like hell. Without her by my side? I feel like my heart turned into pieces. I can't think properly. I can't do this anymore. I can't make it without her.

I feel so weak right now. I have so many dreams about me and her, together. But when she suddenly disappeared and I don't know where she is, everything fall apart.

It's been 5 years since she runaway from me. I don't know why she do that. I still remember the notes she left saying:

" I'am Berlyn Somer, from vampire/werewolf race, rejected you, David Cley Del Valle as my mate."

What the heck! I felt so left out. The last time I remember were so happy and getting better each passing day and then suddenly, without any explanation, she left me?

Five years has already past. But the feelings and love I felt for her still remain in my heart. Nothing's change. It still hurt me a lot.

I'm still waiting for her to come back. I want to find her everywhere. But how can I do that? I don't even know where to start.

For five years, there's so many things that happened. I'm already an alpha of Del Valle Pack. Beta Andrei already find his mate and guess what? It's Leslie for pitty sake! Their both happily in love now.

Andrei explained everything to Leslie about our race. Leslie already accepted Andrei as her mate. On the last quarter of full moon, Andrei already marked Leslie and turned her to be a werewolf and he succeeded.

Andrei was supportive about Leslie's dream as a model and fashion designer at the same time. They don't have a child yet coz Leslie needed to go to New York for fashion show there.

After that fashion show, I think Leslie already promise Andrei that their going to have a baby soon and I'm glad for them. Our pack was doing great, well and strong.

I've already graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management. I'am the new president of Dell Valle University (DVU). I'am also the owner of Del Valle Fashion Industry where Leslie is the famous designer and model at the same time.

Andrei also graduated Business Ad. like me and he's the vice president of Del Valle Fashion Industry (DVFI). If i'am busy in the pack house, Andrei take over and vice versa.

In everything that I've been through, I'm still not contended at all. I feel incomplete. I'm still longing for her. I'm still thinking about her. Is she doing fine? Is she feel the same way?

"Hey, bro. What's up?" I didn't even notice that Andrei and Leslie already entered my private office.

"What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Leslie and I were going to New York tomorrow." Andrei said.

"Oh, is it tomorrow? I tought it's next week?" I said. My personal secretary didn't informed me at all. Or she did, but I've forgot? I don't know.

"Tomorrow. And guess what? We have a surprise for you." Leslie said.

"Whoah, what is it?" I asked.

"We've reserved you a ticket too. Meaning to say, you're coming with us." Leslie said.

"Are you kidding me? You know I can't leave here. Andrei will take over. You don't need me there." I said.

I trust Andrei and I know that he can manage that fashion show all by himself and of course with the help of Leslie.

"Yes, you can. We've already talked about it. Your dad already agreed. You're coming not because of the fashion show but because you badly needed a vacation. You need to enjoy life to the fullest, Cley. I hate seeing you like that. You need to move on. To loosened up even for a while."

Leslie said. I know that tone. She's using her convincing power towards me. She's great in convincing someone.

"I don't need to do that. And what I'm going to do in New York? No, I'm staying here." I said.

"Really? Can't you see yourself? You badly needed to relax. Stress free, you know? Fresh air. New environment. Trust me, you really need it, Cley." She said.

"Fine! Whatever. How long are we staying there?" I asked.

"Three weeks perhaps?" She said with victory on her voice.

"That long? Tsk. Tsk. Andrei, is Leslie really sure about this?" I asked Andrei.

"Yeah. Were serious, bro. I agree with her and your parents too. We need to bring you there whether you like it or not. We are worried about you, bro. I know you're still holding on to Berlyn but, you need to move on for a while. You need to forget about her even for a days, I think? Or even for hours?" He said.

I just rolled my eyes. I stand up on my swivel chair and walk away through the door.

"Where are you going, Alpha?" They both asked.

"Packed my personal belongings, I think? I'm not prepared for this, you know? And both of you have a point. I needed that so bad." I said. They both nodded.

I proceed to my room, pack my things and take a rest. New York is far away from here. Maybe five hours travel by plane? Yeah, Andrei and Leslie was right. I need to freshen up my mind.

I need to enjoy life also. I need to move on even for a short period of time coz I know that this feeling will be back again once I'm alone. At least I'll be able to rest my heart for a while and that's what I needed right now. That's enough for me...

Berlyn's Pov:

It's been 5 years. Yeah, years already past since I run away from Forks. Since I run away from Cley. My first days, weeks, months and years here in New York was not that easy.

I need to live on my own way, again. I need to work hard to provide my necessities. I work as a janitress first. And then messenger.

After that, Mrs. Halder help me to start again. She establish a branch of Halder's Italian Restaurant here in New York and she assigned me as a branch manager.

She let me stay on a staff house of her restaurant and she let me to continue my studies. I'am almost 24 hours awake everyday. I'am studying in the morning and working in a restaurant in the evening.

At first, it's really hard. I'm just thankful that I'm a hybrid. I can't feel any pressure, pain and stress in work and studies. I can handle it properly. I need to do this to survive. To reach my goal in life. And I did it!

I graduated Bachelor of Science in Criminology, passed the Licensure Examination for Criminologist and apply as a New York Police Officer.

I undergo training for almost six months and now, I'm a police officer in New York Police Department ( NYPD). I've already reach my dreams. And I'm proud of myself.

But why do I feel like I'm not contended at all? As if there's a missing piece inside of me. And I know what it is. Him! All these years, he's all I think about.

I never forget him at all. Even though he's the reason of my heart aches. Still, he's the one I'm longing for. I'm dying for. He's the only dream that I know I'm not going to achieve no matter how hard I try.

I want to have my own family. That's what I'm planning after I became a law enforcer. But how can I do that, if the only person I want to be with, I want to be my better half was far away from me and if I'll meet him again, it's my denouement.

I think I need to accept the reality that I'am going to be a spinster for the rest of my life. What about him? Is he doing fine? Did I ever crossed his mind? Did he searched for me?

Maybe he's an alpha now. And since I left him a letter that saying I rejected him as my mate, maybe he already mated with someone and have his own family now. While I'am here, alone.

Still loving him unconditionally. Life sucks, huh. Maybe this is my punishment. Punishment that I need to bear for the rest of my life...

"Officer Somer, Chief Inspector McDonell wants to talk to you." Officer Roseshell Lincoln said.

She's my buddy and partner in crime since I was assign in NYPD. She's my colleague also in New York Police Academy. She's nice and she became my close friend since then. But of course, Leslie still my only bestfriend. I missed her so much!

"About what, Officer Lincoln?" I asked.

"Fashion show? I think we're going to be a security officer this time?" She said.

"Really? That's what I always expected. I mean, were always here in the headquarters. And if we conduct a checkpoint and field assignments, it's a little bit few." I said.

"You said so, officer Somer. Sometimes I really want to do some thrill and twist in our work. You know, captured criminals, encountered serial rapist, murderer,holdapper, kidnapper. That's what I want to do. But now, I don't think so. I'm getting bored in here." She said. I laughed.

"That's what I want too. I want to use my firearms and ammunition also. You know, I think their going to taint soon. I just don't get it. Why almost female officer encounter this kind of discrimination? Because we are female? And female supposed to be weak than men?" I said.

"Exactly! Male and female enforcer equally trained well, but when it comes to work description, were still in limited access. I need action in my life too. My love life was boring, and then my work too? What the heck!" She said. I laughed again.

"We're really compatible on that matter. I think I gotta go. We'll talk again later." I said.

"Sure, buddy. Good luck." She said.

I just rolled my eyes and walk towards the office of Chief Inspector McDonell. As I entered his office, I've salute automatically as a sign of respect.

"Police Officer3, Berlyn Somer, reporting sir." I said with salute.

"Carry on. Officer Somer, I need to inform you that there is a fashion show being conducted in Broadway Theater this coming Wednesday. I want you and Officer Lincoln to take charge on the security of the event." He said.

"Yes sir." I replied.

"And also, I've got this report that there's a killing incident happened in V-Bar yesterday. I want you and Officer Lincoln to investigate about what happened." He said again.

"V-Bar sir? Is that the famous bar here in New York? How many casualties, sir?" I asked.

"Seven if I'm not mistaken. Here's the police report. You can keep this while conducting investigation." He said.

"Okay, sir. Thank you." And before I leave, I salute him again.

This is it! This is what I'm waiting for! For the first time, I'm being assigned on under cover work. I smile widely while walking towards my table. I'm excited to share this with officer Lincoln. I know she's going to be excited about this mission too...
