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
Natalia:My head throbbed as I opened my eyes.My heart ached, and looking around the room, I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes as I recalled what my grandfather, Alexander, told me.The risk that I was putting everyone through, my mate, and even my dragon…I understood now why my father chose to let his powers go. The man was fighting to protect himself and his kids. It was also why he fought to keep me hidden, and when he gave me to an orphanage, something must have been wrong if he did so. My heart ached, and sitting up, I looked at Crystal who was curled up by the fireplace. My little dragon must have been worried sick about what was to come, especially after what we heard and after our argument at home. “You don’t need to be scared, Crystal” I said, assuring her. My dragon jumped upon hearing my voice, and turning to look at me, I could swear that she took a step back despite me not moving from my place.“It was how he made him freeze before” she said, looking down
Blake:Natalia stayed quiet for a few seconds processing what I was saying before she laid back on the pillow, throwing the pillow over her head.“Nat…”“This is just getting too much, Blake” she said, stopping me “from one side, we are fighting a battle that we really have no idea where is going, and on another…”“Nat, breathe” I said, hovering my wife’s body, removing the pillow from over her face. She sighed and shook her head, her eyes meeting my own for a second, making my heart skip a beat. Her arousal’s smell suddenly filled my nostrils, and taking sight of our intimate moment, Crystal flew out of the room through the window that was open. “Blake, I don’t know what to do” she said, her voice lowering down slightly when she saw me leaning in, my lips brushing against hers for a second. Her eyes closed as she took a deep breath, processing our position before I connected my lips with hers, stopping her. I pressed my lips against hers, dominating them for a few seconds before pul
Natalia:“Nat, baby, are you sure that your back is okay? There’s still a bruise on it…”“I’m fine, Blake. It hurts, yes, but I have no better option right now, I want to be out of here as soon as I can” I said, stopping my husband as he watched me put my shirt on. He sighed but nodded, knowing that at this moment, I was right. The two of us wanted nothing more than to get out of this place, and no one could really blame us for that. We’ve been here for less than a day, and yet, here we were, already injured. “Alright, but you need to promise me that you won’t start another argument with Alexander. The last thing we need is him attacking you again, because believe me, I will be ripping his head off his shoulders” Blake said, making me laugh. I knew that it took everything in him to stay under control the other night, and that controlling his wolf was a lot harder than we ever thought that it would be. However, it was a funny game of life. Sometimes, we didn’t get to do what we wante
Blake:My heart raced against my ribcage as I saw Natalia’s father walking in front of us, facing Alexander who was furious. “Jaiden” he said coldly. Natalia and I frowned at the name; however, neither one of us commented as we listened to what was going on.“That is a name that I chose to give up a long time ago. Now, I am here to take my daughter and son-in-law back to their pack, and I give you my word that if you try to stop me, I will be sure to kill you” he said, glaring at Alexander who laughed. My eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the black tail of a small creature on his shoulder, and nudging Natalia, her own eyes widened when she caught sight of it. The dragon was on his shoulder, however, his tail was long enough to come out of his shirt. “Need I ask how you would do that? Last I checked, you were nothing but a human, and I don’t think that a human like yourself can actually afford to fight me. That is, of course, unless you wish to lose your life here and now” Ale
Natalia:I sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window as I tried to calm myself down before I felt Blake approaching the door.He knocked on the door twice before entering the room, and wrapping his arms around me, he pulled me closer to him, hugging me tightly as he sat on the edge of the bed beside me.“I don’t even know what to say, Blake” I said, staring out the window “but this is becoming too hard for me to both accept, digest, or even process. Whenever I think that I can trust someone, they just end up stabbing me in the back” “I am guessing that this is just a twisted game of our life” Blake said, trying to calm me down. A few tears escaped my eyes before I could stop them, and tightening his arms around me, Blake purred, trying to calm me down. His purrs which usually calmed me down made me breakdown, and I didn’t know whether it was due to the many emotions that were coursing though me, or because of what happened earlier. The fact that my father was lying to me thr
Blake:The two of us walked down from the bedroom to find mum and dad sitting with Jaiden over a cup of tea. Jordan put her hand on my shoulder, squeezing it gently, silently letting me know that she was the one who called them here, and looking at Crystal who was on my beauty’s shoulder, I smiled at the fact that she was standing strong.“I take it that you have accepted to finally start talking as an adult?” Jaiden asked, not bothering to turn to look at Natalia as she took a deep breath before walking toward the loveseat that faced him. She didn’t even open her mouth to say a word, and simply staring at him, she waited for him to continue. Mum and dad looked at me, silently asking what was going on, but I shook my head, wanting them to disregard the subject for now.It amazed me how much closer we got to one another after Natalia and I grew closer. The man that I was after losing Myla was now almost nonexistent. At least, not in terms of being as cruel, hell, I don’t even think tha
Natalia:“Alright, Natalia, you need to be very confident about your choice of movement. Yes, sometimes you are going to be very confused, and sometimes, you might even be scared or might not know what to do, but you are going to have to trust your gut” dad said, making me raise an eyebrow.“You do realize that trusting my gut against witches might burn ME alive, right?” I asked and dad smiled before nodding.“Yes, but on the plus side, you, as an element manipulator, cannot burn” he said and I laughed, shaking my head. His smile reached his eyes, and for the first time since as long as I could remember, the two of us were actually able to have a proper conversation without feeling the urge of wanting to kill one another.“Okay, what do you want me to do?” I asked.“I am going to be shooting a fireball, and you would need to dodge it. Now, I am not really supposed to tell you what I would be doing, but since this is your first actual training, I would guide you through” he said, looki
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
