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 walked through the pack as I searched the grounds for anything abnormal.Having actually called my brother here, I honestly did not expect him to show up; however, seeing as I caught his scent, deep within the pack’s grounds, I had to admit that I was surprised that he came.“I am not sure whether to be happy, surprised, or annoyed by your presence” I said coldly.“You called, and I was curious” he said, raising an eyebrow at me. His blue eyes met my green ones, and crossing his arms over his chest, he waited for what I had to say “and don’t worry, with that mate of yours creating storm after the other, the last thing I would do is try to attack you”“I take it that Natalia did leave an effect on you”“You were simply lucky to find her, but you are stupid enough to believe that she wouldn’t be causing this pack more danger than it needs. I do believe that you are already aware of it” Drake said coldly. “The only one inflicting danger on us is you, Drake, and I think that YOU
Natalia:I cried my eyes out as I watched Blake run out of the room, and it wasn’t until I saw my blood on my shoulder.My hands shook and shaking my head, I got up from bed and wiped my tears. My heart aching at the fact that I was being treated the way that I was. I knew that I did not deserve it, but one way or the other, I often felt threatened, compared, and considered less as a mate than his first mate ever was.And the thing was, I knew that opening up about it should have cleared things, at least, helped us solve something, but it seemed to only drive us apart whenever I did try to do so. However, this was the last straw for me. Whatever it was that he was dealing with, he had no right to think that it was okay to break me the way that he just did, and that was something that I was not going to let slide.Therefore, walking to the bathroom, my blood dripped on the tile floor, but I didn’t care. I knew that he lost control of his anger and that he would have never hurt me, not
Blake:“What the fuck do you mean she filed for a divorce?” I asked my lawyer, my eyes widening in surprise as I processed what he just told me. She had sent her lawyer here earlier, but the last thing I expected was for her to do something like this. “She sent the papers that needed signing, boss. Her lawyer says that there is nothing for us to worry about when it concerns the business partnership, she is more than willing to keep it running; but she does not wish to proceed with the marriage” His eyes avoided mine as he handed me the divorce paper with her signature on it. And staring at the papers, I felt like my heart dropped to my stomach.“Get out” I said, not bothering to look up from the sheet of paper, now realizing and understanding how much damage a small paper could do to a person. My world itself felt like it was breaking apart, and I couldn’t even bring myself to accept or believe that she would do such a thing with everything that the two of us were going through.“Bos
Natalia:I was quiet as I sat on the edge of the couch of my office, thinking of what Blake told me. The office was already empty right now, and the only one downstairs was the security man. The night’s air, despite being as cold as it was, felt warm and tight with each passing second, and I couldn’t help but feel small with each breath that I took. The man, my husband, who had come here to accuse me of simply being jealous despite all the things that I was trying to prove to him. He didn’t see that I was scared of losing him, and that was something that bothered me more than I could describe. In his eyes, I was jealous of his past relationship. But he didn’t understand that he knew what it was like to love and be loved. I, on the other hand, didn’t. Blake was the one man who I have ever been with, and he was the ONLY man I fell in love with; therefore, the idea of losing him and getting my heart broken was scarier than I ever thought it would be. Even filing the divorce and signin
Blake: I opened my eyes to frown when I saw that my mate was sleeping on a chair with her head laying on the edge of the bed. She rested her head on her arm as her hand held on mine despite her being asleep, and judging by the frown on her face, I could tell that she only slept out of exhaustion; however, she was nowhere near being okay. If anything, I could even tell that she was still somewhat conscious despite her being asleep, her body just needed the rest. I ran my finger over her hand, gently stroking it, making her stir. And opening her eyes, Natalia’s eyes met mine before she released a breath that she was holding. I smiled weakly at her, the effect of painkillers starting to wear off, and taking my hand in both of hers, she kissed my palm gently. I nodded at her, wanting her to get in bed beside me, and she froze, waiting for a few seconds before making a move. Her eyes met mine and I smiled at my beauty, my eyes softening “I won’t sleep in bed while you sit on a chair
