Blake:“And where do you think you’re going, princess?” I asked Natalia wrapping my arms around her from the back, stopping her from getting ready. She was initially busy buttoning up her white shirt as she checked on whether or not to wear it. It was something that she usually did every morning, and I found it amusing that she could change the shirt three times before going back to the one she initially chose to begin with.Natalia laughed and leaned in to my touch as she looked at our reflection in her dresser’s mirror. I kissed her cheek from behind before she turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her. I smiled and nudged my nose with hers, admiring her beauty as she stood in front of me.“I’m yet to get an answer, baby girl” I whispered leaning down toward her neck, wanting to tease her. Natalia put her right hand on my cheek, catching on to what I was about to do. She bit her bottom lip as she smiled and I chuckled, shaking my head at her. She kn
Natalia:“Mrs. Knight” Mason said when he saw me entering the office. I had to fight back laughing at the name, but I knew that we were at the office, and he had to be formal “Mr. Knight is in his office”I nodded and walked toward the office carrying the bag of lunch, or more specifically, dinner. The man has been here throughout the whole day, and considering that it was a while past nine at night, and I wasn’t even sure whether or not he ate; bringing him something with me was more applicable.I knocked the office’s door twice, though I knew that he had already caught my scent; I waited until he called me inside. “Come in” Blake’s voice sounded like music to my ears. I smiled and entered the office to find him standing up from his chair. He fixed his jacket as I closed the door, and walked toward me, wrapping his arms around my body as he hugged me tightly. I smiled and kissed his cheek when we both pulled away.“I thought that I’d bring you something to eat while you worked” I sa
Blake:I laid my head on Natalia’s lap as she ran her fingers through my hair, while she scrolled through her phone, reading or texting.I came back from work exhausted and drained while she was already at home a while before I arrived. The two of us have been on our bed since after dinner, and she has been massaging my forehead or running her fingers through my hair in an attempt to help me relax since then. “You need to take things easy on yourself, Blake. You’ll end up getting sick, and believe me; no one wants that” she said gently. Water poured from her finger, wetting my hair, and lowering my body temperature. She tended to do that when she felt like my body was too hot for it to be normal, and as a wolf; my temperature was higher than that of a human.“I’m just going through a few issues at work, princess, don’t worry” Natalia looked me in the eye and leaned down to my lips, slowly connecting our lips. I stilled, kissing her back, but not forcing the kiss to go any further, wa
Natalia:My eyes fluttered open when I felt Blake’s scruff brushing my cheek as he kissed me.His finger ran over my arm as he kept his arm wrapped around me, and I couldn’t help but feel sore and tired. I knew that my body would be a little bruised considering the fact that he had to hold me in place, his tight grip on my waist would have left a mark as we both reached our climaxes, and I won’t mention the scratch marks which were probably on his back. The memory of him biting my neck, claiming me last night, marking me as his own was still fresh in my mind, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips despite my closed eyes. Chuckling, Blake connected his lips with my own in a gentle, loving kiss, one which I smiled into. I opened my eyes when he pulled away and ran my finger over his jawline as he hovered my body, holding me in his arms. The idea of him accepting me as both his mate and wife was something that I never thought I would reach after everything I learned about
Blake:“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked Natalia who laughed as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my chest. “I have work to take care of, and being on honeymoon wouldn’t get it done. Plus, you should be getting ready for work too, Mr. Knight” she teased, turning around in my arms and tapping my chest. She was wearing her jacket as she checked how she looked in the mirror.She wore a pair of black pants and a white shirt, her jacket was to match her pants. However, she quickly decided against it, hanging it on the hanger and back inside the closet “I’ll see you later today at the meeting, okay?” “Alright, princess, take care of yourself and be sure to text me” I said cupping her cheeks. I kissed her bottom lip, biting on it gently as I did before pulling away to look her in the eye “I love you”“I love you too” Natalia smiled. I watched as she walked out of the room, listening to her steps as she walked out of the house to call Ryan. I knew that she was aware that
Natalia:I frowned in confusion at the heavy feeling that suddenly settled in my chest.My heart ached and for a second, it felt like it was being squeezed. My hands shook as I tried focusing on breathing calmly, my heart racing with each step I took to the meeting room to find my investors waiting for me.I had to fight back my shocked expression as I couldn’t find Blake anywhere, and seeming to understand my confusion, my secretary, Kylie, shook her head, letting me know that he wasn’t here yet. I sat on my chair, his chair left empty as I waited for the investors to start their representations. The door to the meeting opened, revealing Blake who smiled when he saw me. His eyes were cold and void of emotion, and I could swear that he let out a breath of relief upon seeing me “sorry for being late, I got caught in a little traffic” I could tell that he was lying, his eyes spoke what his mouth couldn’t, and seeing as he wasn’t looking at me; I knew that something was wrong. I stood
Blake:I ran my finger over my wife’s fingers as I waited for her response, and though I already knew my answers, I wanted her to voice them out. Her speaking would make this a lot easier on her, and judging by the fact that she knew that I was aware of things, it would just make it easier on her. But there was a weight that she was carrying that I no longer wanted her to hold on her own.“I want to hear you out, Nat. I know that I could easily hear your thoughts, but I want you to speak through this, I want you to let the pain out to me”She looked down at her lap as the two of us sat on our bed. Her hands shook as she debated on whether or not to speak, but I didn’t want her being afraid of me. I wanted her to be able to speak her mind up to me, not keep things inside her.“My grandfather is the grand element manipulator” she said avoiding my eyes “I need to go there to learn how to control my powers, learn how to use them, and he’s the one person who can help me. Otherwise…”“First
Natalia:I stared at the man who smiled at me, waiting for my reaction. His eyes were mischievous, devious, and if I wasn’t mistaken, even angry.The way he looked at Blake and I only made me regret coming here, mostly because I wasn’t even sure what to expect, but I surely didn’t expect this. The power that I felt radiating from this place made my heart race, and sensing my worry, Blake let out a low growl, growing protective over his mate.Knowing that we were just attacked by some fireball, I didn’t know what this man could be capable of. Hell, I didn’t trust what he would do, and I didn’t want to think of how he could harm both Blake and I. He looked around the place, waiting for me to acknowledge anything about it, but I couldn’t help but fear getting distracted.“You’re my grandfather?” I asked frowning at his behavior. The man opened his mouth to speak only for a voice to be cleared behind me, distracting us.“Now, now, Alcazar, I told you not to scare my granddaughter. You jus
Blake:I smiled as I wrapped my arm around my wife, guiding her toward the flower field just like the vision that I showed her.Though I had to admit, the last thing that I expected was for her to be pregnant or the two of us as injured, but I knew that it was now or never. And I wasn’t going to lose the chance to make her the happiest woman on the planet."You actually had them making the garden?” Natalia asked and I smiled before connecting my lips with hers. I bit her bottom lip, pulling it gently before resting my forehead against hers as I pulled away from the kiss. “I take it as a yes?”“A thousand times,” I said, watching as she turned around to look at the flowers. The smells of roses, lilies, orchids, and jasmines filled the air around us, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips when she turned around to face me as I kneeled down on one knee. It was something that I dreamed of, but I didn’t know how things were going to be. But I knew one thing, I wanted to be a
Natalia:I frowned as we entered the room to find Myla dead on the ground with a knife dug deep in her chest.“Blake?” I asked, voicing out of my confusion and he shook his head.“It was the right thing to do, and she would have done it to herself anyway.” He said, and I frowned in confusion. I got inside his head and my heart dropped as I heard and saw what he was referring to. “Blake, that means?” I asked and he shook his head.“I don’t know how accurate it is, but I know that things are going to be complicated from here.” He said, and I looked at Ryan who was quiet throughout the whole thing. I knew that him being the Alpha’s current beta, he would be lost in so many thoughts, but right now, we needed to know whether or not they needed our help. “They are in their graves…”“We are just going to have to dig them out,” Blake said, stopping me. He frowned as he looked at the door behind me and it wasn’t until screams echoed through the walls that I frowned. I went to rush toward the
Blake:My heart raced against my ribcage as different monitors kept beeping. I squeezed my eyes tightly before forcing them to open, reminding myself of my ability to use my motors.However, that didn’t go as well as I planned for it to as I found myself squinting my eyes shut, trying to avoid the light that was in the room.“Blake?” My mum’s voice filled my ears, and though I was hurt by her and dad, I couldn’t describe the pain that I felt because of them, I couldn’t help but feel thankful for her presence.“Natalia?” I said, shaking my head as I tried finding her. My heart raced and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw her laying beside me, her chest rising and falling with each breath that she took. She didn’t have an oxygen mask, unlike the one that I had, but I could see the bandages that were almost all over her body.“She is just asleep right now. The doctors have instructed that she gets as much rest as she can as she would need to regain her strength after what happened.” M
Natalia:My heart raced as I looked at the demon who formed in front of me.The fact that she was burning the room that was beside me, the room that had my mate inside, made my heart race. And that was something that I knew she was going to try and play with, my fear, anger, and worry. But that wasn’t something that I wanted to give her. “I do believe that it would make things faster if the two of you choose to give up.” She said, her voice sending chills down my spine as I looked at my mate who was trying to stay as far away from the fire. I tried controlling it, but nothing seemed to work. The fact that I knew that Jaiden, the man who was supposed to be my father, was fighting his own dad at the podium scared me. If anything, the fact that they were a father and son getting into this was something that broke me inside, but I knew now that no matter what I was going to say or what I was going to do, nothing would matter. It wasn’t even about me and my husband, these witches were ai
Blake:I growled as I saw my brother shifting, no longer able to contain himself as his instincts took over.The portals revealed the manipulators that were summoned by my wife, and I couldn’t help but find myself growing proud of her strength. To say the least, I knew that she was going to grow a lot stronger now that she knew who she was and what she was capable of.Drake let out a low growl, and I couldn’t help but recall the fact that the man wasn’t even in his head. Whatever was going on, I knew that the witches were having some sort of control on him, and though it pained me to consider, I knew that I had to end this one way or the other.Natalia looked at me and I nodded in assurance as I watched Crystal take flight. The fact that she fought against the control of the witch made me proud of how strong her bond grew with Natalia despite the short period.I took a step toward my brother, my stance ready for his attack as I saw Ariana and Riya, the two who pretended to be on our s
Natalia:My heart raced against my chest as I felt my dragon being close and yet so far to reach.I could tell that Crystal was here somewhere, I just didn’t know where she was.Blake wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him as we entered the podium. No one really bothered to approach us, and I knew the reason; everyone now believed that we were either cursed, or they thought that they were going to watch us die.I looked at mum who was standing in the center of the podium along with Blake’s parents and the two of us frowned before being approached by them. Almost everyone else had their families waiting for them. Mum wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a hug before I could say a word, and though I didn’t understand her reason, I couldn’t help but feel my chest ache.This was the first hug that she has given me in years.She pulled away to look me in the eye before running her finger over my cheek, clearly in pain because of what was happening to me. Thoug
Blake:My chest ached as I found myself waking up beside my wife on a field of grass.Flowers were sprawled almost everywhere around us, and for a second, I could swear that I was back at the house, OUR garden. But I could also tell that it was different, this was a place that we knew, but it wasn’t ours, not yet anyway. Natalia frowned and shook her head in question before I got up from the floor. She sat up and pinched the bridge of her nose before turning to look at me. I watched as she stood up and looked around, taking the scene that was in front of her.Birds flew around and the sound of water could be heard from a distance, but I couldn’t catch a scent to let me know where I was, nor could I define the image that we were seeing. “Are you in my head again?” She asked, and I shook my head, making her frown. “Not that I know of,” I said, only to frown when I saw Alexander and Nikita standing in front of us. The two of us were wearing complete white outfits, my beauty wore a whi
Natalia:“How the fucking hell did you manage to get out of this one?” Riya asked, glaring at us. I smiled at the woman as my mate tightened his arm around me.To say that I was at peace was an understatement to what I was feeling. Hell, the man was not only giving me the love that I wanted and desired, but he was giving me the contentment that I knew I wouldn’t find elsewhere if their lives were taken for me to find it.“I believe that it doesn’t concern you, especially considering the fact that you too managed to pass.” Blake said, smiling at her. I knew that he was also feeling not only content, but at peace. His wolf has been purring lowly for my ears and I couldn’t help the smile that was plastered on my face regardless of how hard I tried wiping it off.Hell, as hard as this was, this day was the best of my life.“You two are playing the rules way too much for my liking.” Drake said, entering the hall where we were standing. Not even he could bother me tonight, that was one thi
Blake: I wrapped my arm around my mate once I’ve put my clothes back on, smirking at the fact that she managed to conceal my nudeness in front of the audience, not that it mattered to me anyway. It wasn’t like I would be having anything that they haven’t seen or don’t have, but it proved to me that she simply wanted the sight for her eyes. “Are you okay?” She asked, handing me a stone cup which she formed before filling it with pure water. I smiled and took a sip of it before handing her the cup to drink. She smiled at my concern and took a sip of it before handing it back to me. “You need it more than I do right now, and a sip is more than enough for me.” I kissed her forehead before drinking the rest of the water, not wanting to break her word before turning to the final round of the day. The Forest of Doom was engraved on the ground and both Natalia and I rolled our eyes as we read the words. The last thing that we needed right now was to deal with such a fact, and considering
