I guess that I just gave a teeny, tiny hint that we MIGHT have a Natasha story after Vladimir, hehe.
Eleanor: “Killian, where are we going?” I asked, shaking my head at my mate. The fact that he chose for the two of us to go out was something that I didn’t understand. Normally, I knew that he wasn’t the type to like that, but then again, it was probably because I was no longer on the run that he knew that the two of us could actually go out without me feeling threatened. “We are going out as normal couples would,” he said, making my heart swell. “The two of us haven’t had a moment alone since…” “Killian, I never did complain about anything. The two of us knew very well that things were messed up as they were, I wasn’t going to be pressuring you over something that I know for fact that you had no control over. If anything, I would have been surprised if you didn’t react to them.” I said, choosing to be honest as I stopped him. His eyes softened, and I could hear his heartbeat calming down a little, especially since I knew that the topic itself was hard on him. I had to admit, thi
Third Person point of View: “Killian, he is still your beta…” “No one touches what is mine and gets away with it, Eleanor.” Killian said, stopping his mate. Her eyes widened at the hardness of his tone, knowing that the man that he was referring to was his beta. The fact that he had tried kissing her was something that she did not understand; but right now, she knew that she shouldn’t be asking her Alpha for mercy when he saw what happened. “Killian, please…” “Go to our room, Eleanor. I do not want you seeing this,” He said, stopping her. She looked at Vladimir for a second, her chest aching, but the man looked calm. Despite the beating that he got and the blood, he didn’t seem to be worried or frightened, if anything, it was as if this was something that he wanted to do all along. And even that surprised her. The man that she considered as nothing more than a brother, a man who was her mate’s best friend; she couldn’t understand how things came to be the way that they were. “Elea
“This is going to get us killed,” she said, looking her mate in the eye. She knew what it was to be caught and she knew that it was the last thing that they needed. The man that she called her husband was never going to let her get away with it. “Vladimir, you don’t know Konstantin, he is not…” “Oh, I know him, malyshka.” He said, stopping the woman. “The question is, are you willing to stick till the end of this? Would you be willing to fight for me?” “Vladimir…” “Because I am more than willing to kill for you, malyshka.” He said, stopping her. “All I need is a yes, my beloved Elena, I am more than willing to go all the way for you…” ****************************** Elena: I had to fight back flinching as my bedroom door opened, knowing that he was going to be more satisfied with me doing so. He walked toward me, and though I had my eyes on my lap, avoiding his gaze, I didn’t need to know that his eyes were cold and menacing toward me. Any other woman who saw him would have be
Vladimir: “We are going to have to end his reign one way or another,” I said, looking at Killian. His eyes studied my expression for a second too long before he nodded. “Are you sure that Eleanor won’t be affected by this? You know that she won’t be forgiving herself for something like this…” “I am going to be sure that she isn’t. Though I hate not letting her know, but you know in such situations, the less people know, the better it is going to be.” He said, and I took a deep breath but nodded. He wrapped his arms around me, and I did with mine. The three people that were to know were my father, his, and my mother. The last thing that I wanted for her was to feel the pain of this too. She had lost my father years ago when he went on a similar mission, and if anyone knew the pain that she went through when that happened; it was me. “We will be uniting again soon,” he said, and I smiled. “As victors, forever and always, brother.” He said, and I smiled and nodded. He put his hand on
Elena: I walked out of the bathroom, having been done with my shower, knowing that I was at least going to get myself a night’s rest. Considering that Konstantin was now with the man, whoever that was, I knew that unless he called me, he wasn’t going to be paying me a visit tonight. I opened my bedside drawer and popped a pill, knowing that it was the one thing that kept me from carrying the man’s child, the one genuine favor that his right hand gave to me. And I walked toward the water jar that I had in my room, filling the glass cup before swallowing the pill. I knew that I was going to have to have Batrov bring some for me soon, and knowing him, he was going to be bringing them to me without me asking anyway. My sore muscles ached, and I sat on the edge of the bed massaging them, hoping that the pain would somewhat soothe itself, but I knew that it wouldn’t; it never did anyway. “Everything that you see here, belongs to you.” I heard Konstantin say from behind the door. His voi
Vladimir: Mate… I had to admit, I was curious. Who the woman was, and what she looked like. But the last thing that I expected from her was not to make a sound in my presence. Hell, the woman didn’t even call for help, nor did she react to me being in front of her. It was as if she was just studying who I was, and was probably trying to figure out what I was doing in her room in the first place. I walked out of the room, knowing not to make a sound so as not to catch anyone’s attention. The fact that she had Batrov, the man’s right hand, being here to supervise her told me that she would be getting in trouble if anyone saw me walking out. But that made it even more intriguing for me to enjoy. To say the least, there was always a little more fun when it came to danger like this one. “Mr. Vladimir,” I heard from behind me. I raised an eyebrow, shaking my head in question as a woman walked up to me. She wore a white gown, and her hair was left over her shoulders. Her heartbeat
Elena: I walked out of the bathroom, frowning in confusion when I saw Batrov inside my room. His eyes met mine for a second, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding his gaze before he walked toward me. He handed me the plastic bag, and I looked up at him, knowing that he got the pills for me. “I didn’t forget them, but I didn’t want to bring them when he was around.” He said, and I nodded in thanks. He looked at me, taking a deep breath as I took a step back before walking toward my dresser to hide them between my clothes. It was the one place where I could keep them, and I was always sure to keep changing their place to ensure that none of the maids saw them. “Do you want to go to the garden for a bit? Get some air?” He asked, and I shook my head. He sighed and walked toward me before putting a hand on my right shoulder, making me flinch. He was quick to remove his hand, and slowly pulling the sleeve of the dress down, I knew that he saw the bruise that I had on it. “Elena, I can h
Vladimir: I knew that I was playing with fire with what I was doing, but I also knew that I caught the woman’s attention. Her eyes were fixed on my extended hand for a few seconds before she allowed herself to extend hers to shake mine. And I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips as I felt a spark coursing through my veins. Her eyes studied my expression before she pulled her hand away, and I nodded, watching as she took a sip of her tea. “Do you spend your whole day in this room?” I asked, and she looked around the room for a second before she nodded. “Don’t you go out?” She shook her head in response before nodding at the window. I looked at it and she got up from the edge of the bed, making me smile as I watched her walk toward it. She put the cup of tea on the table, and she stood in front of it, crossing her arms over her chest before looking at me and walking toward the bed again. “You stand like that when you want to look out the window?” I asked, and she
