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
Natalia: “What are you doing?” I asked Blake, raising an eyebrow at him as he tried getting out of bed. “Natalia…” “Blake, we have literally been over this a hundred times right now. Come on” I said, shaking my head at his stubborn behavior. I swear, the man was as stubborn as a child who didn’t want to sit still. He sighed and laid back, knowing that I wouldn’t let him move, I haven’t been allowing him to for the past week, and I wasn’t going to do so now, at least, not until the doctors said that he could. “Nat, you know that I can’t stay in bed all day” he said, growing frustrated. I laughed at his childish behavior but didn’t bother responding as I helped him adjust his legs on the bed. The two of us have been together in this hospital room since they brought him in here, and despite him asking me to go home and rest, seeing as I needed it in his opinion, I kept refusing, not wanting to leave him alone in case he needed anything. “Blake, you are still injured, and you need t
Blake:I smiled as we entered the pack’s ground.Never in my life did I think that I would be forced to stay away due to being as injured as I was.The fact that they wouldn’t even let me go home to recover there was not something that I could easily forget or ignore, but I was also thankful for my mate who stayed by my side through it all.I didn’t even know how I would be able to repay her for what she did to me. Her putting all our fights, arguments, and issues aside to simply stick to my side, ensuring to be the one who took care of me regardless of knowing that there were nurses that could have done the job instead.My arm was looped around my mate’s, holding her close to me as we walked. Her father, who I knew was still confused about her leaving the way that she did, stood, watching us in silence, knowing not to interfere in such situations. Mostly because he was unsure of the reasons; however, I knew that if he knew, things wouldn’t go as smoothly as they were going now. The m
