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
Natalia: “Nat…” “The bath is ready for you, Blake” I said, stopping him, not wanting him to dwell on the subject. I knew that he was well aware of the struggles that I have been through; however, I was never really one to actually voice them out like that. The fact that my parents wanted to choose to give me up as a child never left my mind, and no matter how old I got, or how many times I tried to convince myself to just let it slide, I couldn’t. I was too hurt by them to do so. “Natalia, don’t” Blake said, wrapping his arm around my waist, stopping me from taking a step forward. My chest ached, but I couldn’t say a word to respond to him, and my body wouldn’t even let me move from his grip if I tried. He pulled me to his chest, ignoring the fact that nothing should be touching his stomach or side just yet, at least, not with pressure. “I’m fine, Blake” I said, stopping him before he could say a word. The pressure that I was under lately was becoming too much, and the scary p
Blake:“Are you sure that you want to handle seeing him, baby girl?” I asked Natalia who smiled as she put her shirt on. “I can’t keep hiding here from him. Plus, we have to start with this stupid training; otherwise, we are in deep hell when Drake decides to pop up” Natalia said, looking at me. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her to my chest, feeling thankful for her being by my side. She didn’t even know how happy I was that she was actually giving me a chance to fix things between us, but the last thing I could think of right now was asking too many questions that could make her nervous about us being okay now or not.One thing that I knew for sure, I was thankful for the fact that the two of us managed to share a bed for the first time in weeks, OUR bed, and that is something that I couldn’t have been more grateful for. The night was the first peaceful night in the many nights of us either being in a fight, of us staying at the hospital. The warmth that we felt, and t
Natalia:People often say that to be in love is like walking on a knife’s edge.It hurts, cuts, and tears, but at times, it is worth every single pain that you can go through.I never understood what that meant until I saw Blake removing the portrait off that wall.The way he looked at me, and the way he spoke to me, everything about him was different, and I didn’t know what it was that changed him; but I was more than thankful for it.“You need to focus on what element you want to use, you can’t use them all at random.” Dad said, breaking my train of thoughts. I nodded at him, and starting a field, I made water rise from all around me, circling us, turning around before it rose to the sky, forming a dragon’s shape. Crystal, who was on my shoulder, looked at me then at the dragon above.“That’s me.”“Indeed it is, little one.” I told my dragon who purred and rubbed her muzzle on my cheek as a dog would to its owner. I looked at dad who nodded before crossing his arms over his chest.“
Blake:I fought to get to my wife who was now unconscious.The men had injected her with something to calm her down, ensuring that she didn’t end up burning the car that we were in, and I was held in a cage that I couldn’t break out of.“You need to relax, Blake. What you are doing is literally not going to get you anywhere.” Drake said coldly. He looked at me through the rear mirror and it took everything in me not to try and break the bars again, not that it would have worked anyway. “What the fuck do you want from us?” I asked my brother who laughed. “You already got the invitation for the game. I am wondering why you’re so surprised that you’re being taken to them?” Drake asked, his tone sarcastic. He looked at Natalia who was asleep, her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, and glaring at him, I shook my head.“Let my wife go, Drake. Kill me and end this madness, but she has nothing to do with this.” I said, shaking my head at him, trying to touch a spec of his h
Natalia: Now, if I have ever felt shaken before, then this was a whole different sensation that I was feeling. The woman, my one challenge in my relationship and love, stood right before my eyes, alive. Her picture on the wall which haunted me for days and nights was enough to make me feel insecure. But this, this was beyond explanation to how I was feeling, and I knew for fact that Blake understood and read my pain very well. Her eyes were fixed on Blake, her arms crossed over her chest as a look of betrayal masked her expression. An expression that I didn’t know whether to feel sorry for, blame her for, or hold a grudge against her for. All I knew was that my heart raced in fear as I saw the way she looked at the two of us as if we had committed a crime towards her. “When Drake first told me about this, I honestly believed that he was lying. I said that it was Blake, my mate, and he wouldn’t do anything like this. But it turns out that your ‘traitor’ twin brother was telling t
Blake:I wrapped my arm around Natalia who was sitting in front of me.Her back was to my chest, and despite her not saying a word, I could tell that a lot was going on in her mind. I didn’t even have the courage to try and get into her head to read what she was thinking. The fear that I was feeling was one that I couldn’t really describe. “Natalia, do you want to talk to me?” I asked, breaking her train of thoughts. She turned to look at me, and it broke my heart to read the pain that was in her eyes. The insecurities that I have fought hard to help her get over were back in her eyes, and I knew that the reason behind that was her seeing Myla alive in front of me. Hell, even I didn’t understand how that happened, but I didn’t even want to think about it. I would rather leave it vague for now.“I am scared of what you would say, Blake. I am scared of you considering…”“Natalia, I am not going to consider anything concerning this topic." I said, stopping her. “I am shocked, I won’t te
