Natalia: My heart throbbed with each step I took away from the bedroom, knowing that I left Blake lost and confused. The way he looked at me and the way I knew his eyes were trying to study my expression shattered me, but I also knew that him crossing his limits with me wouldn’t be getting us anywhere. Our relationship was one of respect, and just as I am to respect him, I would expect to be respected back. “Well, if it isn’t the little Luna” Sasha said, looking at me. She stood by the stairs, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked at me, waiting for me to respond to her. The last time the two of us spoke was months ago, and at times, I honestly forgot that she lived at the Estate, Blake’s orders. “Go find yourself something better to do, Sasha” I said, glaring at the woman. “Well, I came to check whether your Alpha grew tired of you. You know, rumors are spreading about the two of you arguing and I figured that I would come and lend a hand” she said, smiling at me, her sm
Blake:“You are only kicking me out because of her” Sasha snapped, glaring at me. The woman hasn’t dared approach my mate since the two of us have made things official, but it seems like she had that audacity last night and that wasn’t something that I was going to let slide so easily. Especially since it only ended up angering my mate, and that was something that neither I or my wolf accepted. “I am not kicking you out, Sasha. If I was, you would have been rogued, and that is not something that I want for you. I know that you wanted to be with me for the power that I would have provided. It was the reason why you rejected your mate, and despite that, I am choosing to ignore that you wanted to take advantage of me, and I am sending you as a bride, to a man that would follow your certain taste. If I were you, I would be grateful” I said, glaring at her. Sasha let out a low growl of displeasure, and returning the growl, the woman looked down at her feet.“Is there a way for me to…”“No
Natalia:I never thought that I would dread going back to my mate as much as I did today.His conversation with Crystal played in my head, over, and over again, and regardless of how busy I tried to keep myself; I kept finding myself going back to thinking about it. The way he looked at me, and the way he’s been speaking to me since everything has happened with Ryan played in my head, and despite trying to keep my thoughts positive, I couldn’t help but feel insecure. I laid my head on my desk as I knew that it was time to go back home. Half the company’s employees left already, and those who stayed behind still had work to do; however, it was me who was unable to function as I kept getting distracted whenever I tried to do so.“Boss…” Kylie said, entering my office. She also had work to finish and was required to stay back to complete it before going home and calling it a night.“Yes, Kylie?” I asked, raising my head to look at her. She entered the office carrying a tray of food, sl
Blake:I kept my arm wrapped around Natalia as she lay on my chest. Her finger drew random patterns over my abdomen as I looped my fingers with her curls, knowing that she enjoyed the feeling.“What are you going to do about Ryan? Did you find any solution that would possibly help?” Natalia asked, looking up at me, breaking the comfortable silence. I sighed and shook my head, not knowing what to do in this situation either, and the more I thought about it, the more it hurt me. However, Damon and I have been searching for different solutions to try and fix what Drake did, and so far, we haven’t been lucky with any of them. Most of the magical creatures that were stated in the scrolls of our elders and historians hated dealing with witches who had dark magic, and it was for known reasons. “The doctors suggested that we inject him with something that would put him to sleep, and I know that we can’t keep him asleep forever. But he is struggling to keep up with everything, and I can see
Natalia:“You want me to do what?” I asked Crystal who was expanding in size.“You are going to get on top of me. I am your dragon and you’re going to need to learn how to trust me” she said, motioning for me to get on top of her. She lowered her head for me to get on top, and looking back at my husband, he smiled and nodded, encouraging me. “You could easily drop me…”“And you could use wind to levitate your body” she said, stopping me “look, Natalia, I am your guardian, I am literally there to protect you; therefore, I won’t be harming you on purpose. If anything, I would be dying if you died. If I died, you would be losing your powers and a part of yourself, but your advantage, as a human, you would still be alive”“Crystal, I don’t want you putting that as an option. What happened with others would not be repeated with me; therefore, I don’t want you thinking that it would. But what I am more concerned about is the height and the fact that I am not experienced in what I’d be doin
Blake: “You want me to call for the other Element Manipulators?” Natalia asked, frowning in confusion. I nodded, showing her a scroll that I’ve been reading through about this. Flashback:“Alpha, are you sure that we can put Luna Natalia under this much pressure? I know that she is strong enough to handle it, but how is she going to be able to withstand a witch’s hex when she needs to be trained to control her own powers?” Damon asked, reading through the scrolls as we tried to find a way to break the hex off Ryan. The two things that we found were to either kill the witch, and finding who she or he is would be almost impossible as we didn’t even know where the witches were hiding. They were outcasts who knew that they weren’t wanted around, but it seemed like my twin brother Drake had his own plans when it came to bringing them back, or at least, working with them for his own benefit. For now…“I know that Natalia can’t do this” I said, reading through another scroll that had a pi
Natalia:It was a while into the night when Crystal decided to make an appearance. Her eyes avoided mine as she landed on the ground in front of us.I knew that she was still angry after our earlier fight; however, I was not going to please her over something that the two of us knew was a risk for her. I did not want to be put in a position where I would have to make such a difficult choice, because like my father, I would choose my mate over myself any day.“I do hope that you’re ready”“I am not, but we have no other choice than to try” I said, making the temperature drop around me as I started floating. Blake, who was standing one step behind me, crossed his arms over his chest, and I was thankful that we were already entering winter; otherwise, after Crystal’s little stunt earlier on the military base, and this drop, people would really think that Earth was being invaded by aliens.“Natalia, hold the temperature now, I will be casting the light. It would be a little hectic for you
Blake:I kept my eyes on Ryan as he opened them. His heartbeat was calmer than it usually was, and looking at me, he frowned in confusion as he processed the fact that he was in the infirmary room.“Alpha?”“Ryan” I said, smiling, happy to have heard his voice without him fighting me for the first time in weeks. He sat up, shaking his head as he fought off his nausea, but I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around him, hugging him tightly. He hugged me back, and standing back, Natalia watched us in silence.“Luna, I was not aware of your presence, I apologize” Ryan said when I pulled away from him.“You needn’t worry, Ryan. You had us all worried about you, do you know that?” Natalia asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she took a step forward “but it's good to have you back”“What happened?” He asked, frowning at Natalia’s statement.“You really don’t remember, do you?”“Not at all. I remember going to Drake. The two of us worked together for a while and everything was actually fi
