Blake:I growled at Natalia as the two of us looked at one another. Her ocean blue eyes remained fixed on my emerald green ones. Her eyes were wide in both fear and worry, not to mention her racing heart which was throbbing against her ribcage. But nevertheless, she still got down on her knees in front of me. Extending her hand as she showed me that she was just trying to help and that she wouldn’t harm me. I couldn’t miss her shaking hand as she feared my reaction, but she didn’t move, she wanted to help me, and was showing it in every possible way.“Please” she begged. Her eyes stayed on my own, I growled again wanting her to stay away. I wasn’t stable, for now, I was in my wolf form, an injured wolf is far more dangerous than a normal wolf. The woman was crazy for being here.“I won’t hurt you” she tried again. This time, she slowly got closer to me. I growled again, exposing my canines. She hesitated for a second, but still kept her hand in front of me “I just want to help you, i
Natalia:I ran my fingers through Blake’s dark brown hair as he slept. His chest peacefully rising and falling with each breath he took. His features were finally calm, and the IV needle in his hand. His body having given up on fighting, the man finally got a little rest. His body’s temperature finally settling to a normal one, the man was no longer sweating or shivering with each breath he took. I couldn’t help but smile in contentment at the thought of him healing.My eyes stayed fixed on him as sparks ran through my body. The fact that I knew that he could have died had I not arrived on time made my heart clench with fear. Fear that I didn’t understand, nor did I try to. But everything seemed to be messed up anyway, from the sparks that I felt when I was around him, to the pain I felt seeing him in pain, I couldn’t understand any of them.“Natalia, you need to eat something” Ryan said, handing me a plate. I have been here since yesterday, only leaving Blake’s side to go to the bat
Blake:My heart raced against my ribcage as Ares came to his senses waking me up. The effect of the Wolf’s Veil running out of my body as I opened my eyes. My eyes searched the room which was once filled with her scent.I couldn’t help but growl when I saw Ryan sitting beside me.“Alpha?”“Where is she?” I asked angrily. My eyes scanned the room for her, but she wasn’t there, not that I didn’t know that already. Her scent wasn’t in the house, and it seemed like it hadn't been there for a while now.“What?”“Where is my wife?” I growled before shifting out of anger. The fact that she had left because of him angered me. She had stayed the night by my side when I was in my most dangerous state. When even my pack feared entering the room to help me, she took the risk and did it. Having heard his whole conversation with her, I may have been unconscious in the sense of being awake; however, I was completely conscious as I heard everything that happened around me.“S-She went to work, Alpha
Natalia:“Mine…”I stared at Blake with wide eyes. His own eyes not leaving mine for a second before I smiled and turned my attention to the bandage which was in my hand. I put it on the wound, careful not to hurt him before stepping back and looking him in the eye.“Do try not to rip this one, and if you do, let someone clean and cover the cut for you” “As long as you’re by my side when I wake up, there’s no need for the bandages to get ripped off, right?” Blake smirked and I raised an eyebrow.“What are you up to, Blake?” I asked “what’s all of this? Up until two nights ago, you wouldn’t even look at me, and now…”“You took care of me when my whole family feared approaching me. They would have either left me in the state that I was in, or they would have watched me die. You didn’t leave my side despite me kicking you out, you stayed here” Blake said taking my hand, he intertwined our fingers, or more specifically, tried to; however, I pulled them back before he could, making him fr
Blake:I smiled when I heard my wife’s footsteps as she approached my room.She knocked the door twice, making me smile “come in”She walked inside the room to look me in the eye and shake her head when she saw me waiting for her. Food was already placed on the table which I had the maids prepare for us “come on, let’s eat while the food’s hot at least”“You do realize that you could have left the room and walked to the dining room, right?” Natalia asked, looking at the table while crossing her arms over her chest. She looked around the room which the maids have fixed up in the past few hours as to be comfortable for me to stay in while I healed. The fact that I had to stay here didn’t mean that I needed to stay here with it being a disaster.“Yes, but that would have meant having dinner with the whole pack, and that wasn’t the intention of all of this” I said, pulling her chair back for her to come and sit. However, she quickly put her hand over mine not wanting me to do it “you’re s
Natalia:My eyes fluttered open as a feeling of warmth settled inside my body.However, that didn’t last long when I noticed that I was laying on top of a chest, an arm was wrapped around me, and that chest had a bandage over it.I sat up quickly only for my head to throb as the aftermath of alcohol kicked in. “Easy” Blake said gently. He sat up and put both his hands on my shoulders, softly massaging them. My body relaxed for a second before I processed that I had slept in his room, on his bed, and in his arms “Natalia?”“I slept here last night…”“Yeah, you got a little too drunk, and I couldn’t carry you to your room” Blake said motioning to his injured shoulder, chest, and neck. “I was sleeping on your chest, Blake! What if I hurt you?” I asked. Blake smiled at my concern before he cupped my cheeks which heated as I processed the whole situation.“Hey, relax, you didn’t hurt me, and I wanted you sleeping here anyway” Blake said, assuring me. I could tell that he was trying to ke
Blake: “Are you okay?” I asked a while after Natalia’s secretary got our coffee.She has been quiet since her parents left worrying Ares and I. She snapped out of her daze and looked at me with a smile. One which was professional and didn’t reach her eyes “I’m fine, Blake, I just have a few things in mind. But don’t worry”“Do they include your parents?”“Why did you come?” Natalia asked, shocking me. I frowned in confusion trying to understand her question, but she didn’t seem to flinch as she waited for an answer. “What?” I asked, still trying to process what she asked.“Why did you come here when I asked you not to?” She asked again. The woman was being bloody serious?“Natalia, I just saved you from a whole argument with your parents…”“I never asked you to, okay? I never asked you to fight my fights for me, nor did I ask for your help” she snapped. I put the mug down and got up from my chair with her following in suit.“I came here with genuine intentions. I didn’t want you to
Natalia:“Wait, you were serious about us sharing the bed?” I asked, looking the man in the eye. The causality that he saw in the situation confused me. Yes, I was his wife, it wasn’t something that I didn’t know, but the two of us knew that our marriage wasn’t a real one. The man proved to me that he didn’t want me as his real wife.“Well, I don’t think you expect me to be sleeping on the couch, nor do I think that you would be” Blake said sarcastically. I shook my head at the man who raised an amused eyebrow, clearly loving my reaction.“Blake, I don’t want to share your bed. I would rather sleep on my bed and come here in the morning if it would give you the sense of comfort that we’re pretending to be husband and wife” I said, raising my hands in mock surrender.“Natalia, princess, we cleared out your room. The maids have locked it based on my order, plus, we’d only be sleeping, what are you so worried about? I already promised you that I wouldn’t be hurting you, nor would I be do
