She Can Hear My Thoughts

Daniel's POV

I gritted my teeth as I stared at Isabella.

“I thought I asked you to stare in the room, Bella?” I said as I approached her.

She pursed her lips and balled her fist, “Daniel, I need an answer, who is she?” She yelled.

I turned and saw her staring at us with large eyes.

I faced Isabella, “Sshh,” I tried to make her calm down.

“Why should I keep quiet?” She yelled out again.

“You'll scare her, keep your voice down Bella,” I said through gritted teeth as I grabbed her arm.

Isabella looked down at her hand where I held her tightly, “You're the one scaring me Daniel,” she looked back at me with wet eyes.

I gulped. I had never handled her this way before. I was sure she was feeling so bad right now.

“Isabella, why can't you just stay calm, I'll talk to you about this later, okay?” I said to her softly.

“No Daniel, right now,” she said.

I closed my eyes as I breathed out slowly, “Fine, let's go out from here first.”

Isabella nodded and was about to move out, and I closed my eyes and thanked my stars.

I can't risk scaring my mate again and making her run away.

I don't know how she got back here, and she is even in Damien's room and wearing his clothes.

I turned to her and gulped at the thought of what might have transpired between them last night.

“Daniel?” Isabella called, and I blinked out of my thoughts and looked up at her.

“Let's go,” Isabella said, and I nodded as I was about to go with her.

“Sir Daniel,” I heard her call my name from behind me the most softly and sweetly anyone had ever called me, or so it sounded to me.

I turned to see her staring at me, my heart rocked in my chest as I locked her large green eyes in mine.

I walked up to her and stood in front of her as I asked her, “Is there anything you need… are you in pain?”

She smiled softly at me, my Adam's apple popped up and down as I beheld her beautiful smile.

I was lost in the moment until she said, “No, sir Daniel, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me tend to my wounds.”

I stared at her lips as she spoke, “It's fine,” I looked back up into her eyes.

“I'll be in my study doing some work. If there is anything you need or any questions you want to ask… do well to come to me, tell the maidens to bring you up to the study, okay?” 

She nodded her head twice and looked down.

“Daniel!” Isabella called out as she stomped her feet impatiently.

I raised a finger to Isabella, signaling her to be quiet as I spoke to Serafine.

Her?

What is her name?

“Serafine,” she said and looked back up at me.

I furrowed my brows, “How did you know what I was about to ask you?” I wondered out loud.

She shrugged, “I just knew.”

I pursed my lips and stepped back from her.

I had to control my urge to take her into my arms.

I'll be back, I'll go back to work and come check up on you… later.

“You don't have to worry yourself, Sir Daniel, I'll be fine.”

I bit my bottom lip and smiled, “So you can hear my thoughts?”

She shrugged.

I touched her shoulder and said, “Take care of yourself, and don't run away… I'll check on you from time to time.”

She giggled and looked down.

“Are you the one that brought me here?” She asked softly.

“Have you not met Damien?” I asked, surprised.

She shook her head and looked up at me, “Who is Damien? Is he the one who brought me here earlier?”

I shook my head and took her hand, “No… that is David, the youngest of us triplets.”

She had a look of surprise in her eyes, as though she had so many questions. She turned and I followed her eyes and met her gazing at Isabella who had a deep frown on her face.

Serafine, can you hear me? I asked in my head.

She turned to me.

Blink if you can hear me, I said again in my head.

She blinked her long lashes at me.

I smiled.

I'll answer all of your questions. Right now I need to go and get some work done. Is that fine by you?

She nodded her head at me and I turned towards Isabella who was already running out of patience.

I sighed and walked up to her.

“Come with me,” I said to her, and we both started to leave Damien's room.

I turned to Serafine and she waved at me as I walked away.

I winked at her and walked off.

I reached my study and sat on the armchair in the center, my work table was in front of me with my laptop and some office files on it.

I was going to get some work done and head to the office, but right now, I am just going to rush this and go to Serafine.

I don't trust these women alone with her. I looked up and saw Isabella fuming.

“Is she the reason you left me untouched last night?” Isabella asked with her arms crossed over her chest and one of her legs shaking.

I squinted at her, “Yes, is there anything wrong with that?”

Isabella stared down at me in shock.

Before she could say a word, I stood up to my feet and walked up to her.

“Isabella, whatever we had was beautiful, but you know I don't love you… we were in this for fun,” I blurted out.

Why are her eyes watering?

She fixed her eyes on me as tears dropped from her eyes.

“But I love you, Daniel, I want you,” she said softly as she walked up to me.

“I am sorry, Isabella, you are just my girlfriend, but I have found my mate… don't make me choose between you both, because I'll choose…” I paused.

She closed her eyes as her lips whimpered.

“You'll choose her? Right?” She said with her eyes still closed.

I nodded my head slowly, “Yes, Bella, I'll choose my mate.”

She shook her head as she cupped her mouth, with tears flowing down her eyes.

I held her shoulder, “I am sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you, I thought you were aware of this, and that is why I gave you everything you need and will ever need.”

“But it's you I want,” she said and she threw her hands over my shoulder and pulled me down to her level as she took my lips in hers and started kissing me passionately.

 I widened my eyes in shock as she kissed me, I pushed her off me and wiped my lips with the back of my hand.

“Get out!” I growled under my breath.

She stared at me in shock.

“Get out of my sight, Isabella,” I yelled at her and she flinched.

Without wasting any more time, she raced out of my study.

I balled my fist and gritted my teeth, I was about to kick the table in anger when my eyes caught someone standing at the door.

“I thought I told you to get out!” I yelled at her before I turned to the door to see Serafine staring at me with large eyes as she flinched in fear.
