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
Natalia:“Blake, you know that the last thing I want to do is see the man” I said, walking through the forest alongside my husband who had his arm around my waist, pulling me toward the empty arena where we knew that he was waiting for our presence.The forest moving to clear the path for our arrival told us that he was waiting for us to come, and knowing that he was, I got more annoyed with each step I took.“Baby girl, I know that you don’t want this, but what better chance do we have? If Drake is playing a nasty game, then we have to be prepared. I don’t know if anyone out there is against your grandfather and wants you as dead as they want him; therefore, I want you to at least be prepared for what we’re going to face. Yes, I know that it would be hard, and yes, I know that you are still angry with him; but we don’t know the whole story, we don’t know what kind of pressure he was also under, and no, I am not defending him, I am just stating facts” Blake said as we reached the empt
Blake: I kept holding my wife’s hand as she shook her leg, listening to what Nikita had to say. The fact that we both knew that there were people out to kill the two of us didn’t make anything feel or seem any better, and knowing that my wife was in danger only made my wolf grow a lot more protective over her. “Throughout centuries, element manipulators and witches were forbidden from getting married, and it was due to this prophecy” she said, handing us a scroll. She had been searching for something for the past few minutes, and I could only assume that she found it. Natalia took it from her, and putting it on the table between the two of us, I recognized the language that it was written in as ancient Latin. “A child was to be born…” I read, looking at my wife who nodded at me to proceed “out of the blood of a witch and manipulator. That child would be both the reason for the union between magic creatures, and the end of dark magic…” “And that is not something that they want” Ni
