And this is getting heated, isn't it?
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
Natalia: I stood, ready, as fireballs formed on my hand, glaring at my mate’s twin who entered the room with a bunch of witches. Two witches who tried to attack me were shot by my fireballs, making them scream out in pain as their bodies burned. I stared at them, watching as the agonizing pain hit them with each second as their bodies burnt, and catching the burning smell of their flesh, Drake froze before looking at me. Crystal, who was somewhere near, flapped her wings, and I smiled feeling her presence around me. Blake’s eyes met mine as he snapped a witches neck before he shifted. His body landed on top of another witch whose eyes widened in surprise before he went to bite her neck. But before his canines could touch her neck, my mate was pushed off her body, his twin brother, who was frozen at first, shifted, challenging him. I had to fight back burning the Alpha alive, not wanting to affect Blake more than he already might have been. I knew not to interfere by getting in his
Blake: I growled as I glared at my brother who was announcing us as if we were some sort of game up on the podium. His eyes met mine and I shook my head as my heart raced against my chest, processing everything that was happening. My wife, support, and mate, stood by my side, her eyes wide in both anger and fear as she looked around us. “Blake, we are going to get screwed in this, and the fucking bastard is literally doing it publically. How bad could this be getting?” “I am just as lost as you are, princess, but right now we have nothing more to do than survive. The man is having a public execution, and these people don’t know about it.” I said, looking up to find Jaiden and mum sanding, looking down at us with wide eyes. Mum shook her head as she covered her mouth, not believing what was happening. The funny part was, I did warn them about this. It was them who chose not to believe it. Dad, who was somewhere close by, had his back to the podium, refusing to look at me, knowing
Natalia:“You fucking…”Blake wrapped his arm around me, not allowing me to approach his brother, knowing that I might end up doing something stupid. If anything, the man deserved what he was going to get. “What did you think of the tasks? I was honestly waiting for what you were going to have to say.” Drake said, giving me a cold smile. I glared at the man, wanting to move from my husband’s arms only to frown when Blake tightened his grip around me. I knew that it was the number of witches who were around, the last thing that Blake wanted was for me to get in trouble with them, but that still didn’t mean that I was going to let Drake go. He knew what he was doing, and either way, regardless of whatever result, he was going to kill Blake. “I told you not to put my mate in this, Drake. She has…”“Whatever it is that you are going to tell me, Blake, does not matter.” Drake said, stopping Blake who let out a low warning growl. Drake returned the growl despite the state that he was in,
Blake:I ran my finger over my wife’s back as she lay on my chest.I could tell that she was scared of what was going to happen. It was something that I didn’t need her to tell me about. It was something that killed me inside, and just the idea of something happening to her was enough to have my heart aching. And I had to admit, it was at that moment that I felt like I was stuck between two thick walls with no way out. Whatever the outcome would be, I knew that it would cost her life, and though I didn’t voice it out loud, the fear that I had because of that. “Natalia, I know that you are awake.” I said, tightening my grip around her. She ran her finger over my chest before sitting up to look at me. “What’s on your mind, princess?”“We both know that you can easily read my mind, Blake.” She said, and I smiled, pulling her closer to connect my lips with hers. My kiss was both gentle and loving. The way she felt helpless was something that I didn’t like. If anything, it was something
Natalia: I woke up to Blake letting out a low growl, making my heart race. The fact that we managed to sleep last night to begin with came as a surprise to me. Especially since I knew that the night had been rough on the two of us. I frowned in confusion as I opened my eyes, and looked at my husband who was sitting up, glaring at two women, witches, standing by the door as Drake entered the room we were sleeping in. I had to admit, it took me a few seconds to recall the fact that the two of us were not alone in the room, and though we both had our separate beds, we still chose to sleep in one another’s arms. The last thing I wanted or needed was another night without him. The two of us have had enough nights of that. “You seem to grow more aggressive as days go by, I have noticed, brother.” Drake said, shrugging his shoulders. I frowned at the sight of the man who looks like he has lost more than half of his weight in less than a day. His eyes met mine and he smirked, angering me m
Blake: I wrapped my arm around my wife, pulling her to my chest as the two of us ate. I had to admit, I was still in pain after our conversation last night, but right now, this was not what I had to keep in mind. With everything that was going on, I knew that I had to understand her own point in this. The woman was in more pain than I was, and that was something that I couldn’t deny. I, as her husband, caused her more pain than she was supposed to handle, and that was something that I needed to make up for. I knew that if it were Jordan, I wouldn’t have allowed this to happen, and therefore, I knew that I needed to earn her forgiveness rather than expect it. I, myself, wouldn’t have handled what I put her through. “You need to eat, baby girl.” I said, breaking whatever train of thoughts she was having. I knew better than to get inside her head right now. There were things that I needed to respect when it came to her privacy and thoughts. And the fact that I knew that she was
Natalia: Drake stood in front of me for a few seconds before shaking his head. “You really don’t get it, do you?” He asked, his tone mocking. I had to fight back rolling my eyes at his current ignorance. The man was too full of himself to even understand what I was referring to; however, it wasn’t the other way around. I wasn’t as stupid or blind as he currently was. I understood very well what game he was playing at, but I was going to make sure that we all got out of it, even if it meant me dying. My mate and husband were not going to suffer the consequences of his brother’s actions, and considering that me winning would also mean me dying, I knew to put them first. “You would be surprised about what I do and do not understand, Drake Knight.” I said, putting a finger on his chest. “But I think the main issue here is YOU not understanding what you’re getting yourself into and that alone could be a problem.” “A little too confident, aren’t you?” He asked, his tone mocking, and I
