Hiding From My Mate Chapter 65
I woke up with a start and looked around. I was in my room, nothing was wrong. I closed my eyes and placed my hand over my chest, relieved. I lay back on the bed, laughing at myself. “It was just a dream, actually a nightmare.” I rubbed at the dull ache in my ribs then rested my hand on my belly. I felt my whole body tighten. Something was wrong. I was empty. I pulled the covers off me and pulled my shirt up. My stomach was flat; there was nothing inside me. My children were gone! “Ash! Ash!” I yelled in a panic. He had somehow managed to take them out of me. I stood up, ignoring the dull pain in my abdomen, back, chest and hips. I walked around the room looking for something to attack him with—something that would actually hurt. My door flew open and Ash appeared. He didn’t come near me he just stood there. He must have sensed I was pissed out of my mind. I picked up my hairbrush for lack of a better weapon and pointed it at him. “How did you do it? Did you have Joe knock me
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 66
“A few decades ago. There was a child who got hurt running away from the havoc we brought to his village. Fighting Baku always gets messy and innocent people get hurt. One of Baku’s men had him cornered. He couldn’t run anymore because his leg was broken. After I killed the man I went to help the child. My blood spilled into his wound. A few seconds later, his leg snapped into place and he healed.”“And the amnesia thing?”“You were my first. I figured if I could put things in your mind, I should be able to take them out, or hide them.”“Show me.”Ash leaned away from me. “Show you what?” he asked perplexed.“How they were born. That’s one thing I really wanted to experience.” Childbirth was one thing no mother should miss. I read in one of the baby books that it is the beginning of an external bond between mother and child. As unconventional as mine was I still wanted to know.Ash looked at me troubled. “I won’t be able to edit out all the bad parts.”I held his face in my hands. “J

Ash pulled me to the bed and sat me down. He took our daughter from Joe and brought her to me. I stared at her, then at Ash scared out of my mind.“Lee, take her.” Ash brought her closer.I moved back. “Are you sure, because I don’t know how to hold a baby? I don’t know the first thing to do with a baby.”“You read the books didn’t you? Think of this as a practical part of your health class,” Maria soothed.“Yeah, health class. They should combine that with Biology.” Ann laughed.“What if I do something wrong?”“You should have thought of that before you got knocked up.” And that comment earned Ann another swat on the head from Maria.“You’ll be fine. Maternal instincts.” Ash lifted my arms and placed her in the crook they made.She felt so tiny there, like a little doll. Her face creased before her pink lips puckered. I pulled the pink headband off and threw it aside.“Hey, that was a perfect outfit!” Maria complained.“It’s squeezing her head. Look she’s smiling, probably grateful I
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 68: Runaway
I looked out my small-clouded window and watched the sun rise, a flutter in my chest. I couldn’t help but smile watching the sunrays shoot up and push the night away making way for the bright sun. I felt a shiver and a tickle all over me like I had a thousand butterflies batting their wings against my skin just remembering the night I spent at the beach with Ash. We watched the moon disappear and the sun take its place, his arms wrapped lovingly around me, his body keeping me warm as the cool ocean breeze teased me with goose bumps. I hugged myself and sighed longingly. I could still feel his arms there, his breath in the nape of my neck, his warm body curve around me as I sank deeper into his embrace and his bouquet mixed with the sweet ocean scent that made all my senses tingle. “Ash,” I whispered feeling giddy. The touch of his name on my lips made me smile. He was the one man who’d managed to turn my life upside down and right side up again. He was both a curse and a blessing in

Ash didn’t need distractions if he was to catch Baku. I was a distraction, and so were the twins. He couldn’t keep pulling double duty, protect us and also search for Baku. It was taking a toll on him, mentally and emotionally. He barely slept because of the thought of having another family killed. It tormented him, and me- I couldn’t lose another family either.I closed my box of treasured memories and put it under my bed. I moved back to the crib my landlady, Shauna had generously loaned to me when I moved in two days ago. She’d also given me a job in the diner at the ground floor of the building. When I arrived she gave me a once over like she was trying to read me. She probably thought I was a teenage run away who got reckless and then pregnant. It was one of the few times I wished I could still read minds. But I was glad she didn’t ask questions, I hated it when people asked too many questions.Secrecy and privacy was something I’d always preferred since I was five. But after lea
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 70
The morning dragged on as the locals seemed to fill the diner in shifts. The five in the morning early birds were done with their breakfast by seven, then came the ones who worked locally who emptied out by nine and then the late sleepers who were mostly the older and younger age groups who had nothing else to do on a cold winter morning than to sit around in a warm establishment that also served hot tea and coffee for free. They were around and I would leave them there after my shift ended at twelve. The conversations were always the same- the weather, their kids and grandkids, their school holiday jobs how much they hated their bosses and my least favorite topic, the new people in town.I was still the small town gossip as people wondered where I came from and who I was and how amazingly strange it was that no one had gotten the low down on me yet. A family who had moved in the same time I had were already a topic exhausted as the town had all their information, down to the

“Are you okay?” Tory asked me when I stepped into the apartment.I gave her a quick smile and nod as I blinked my tears away, “I’m fine,” I whispered, “Thanks for looking after the twins.”She shrugged her shoulder as she got up from the carpet, “No biggie, they were asleep the whole time.” She skipped past me and out the door.I closed the door behind her and stood there for a second before I went to my kids. They were really asleep. I took off my jeans, sweater and my shoes and put on my sweats. My life had been confined to the insides of these four walls. I didn’t bother to go out or socialize; those weren’t the reasons I was here. My day consisted of mixing baby formula, blending fruits and watching my children and also trying not to agonize over Ash.My phone rang again and I felt my heart stopped. I walked slowly to my bed where it sat, wondering if this was the time I would answer hi
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 72
“Did you spend your night crying?” Ben’s familiar voice rang in my ears. Today I wasn’t in any mood to be joked around with. Yesterday’s conversation with my family had placed a heavier load on me. I felt like I was walking around with my own personal dark cloud. “Please, not today.” I said, arranging the sugar shakers on the counter. “I’m not trying to offend you, I’m just trying to make a new friend,” he followed me as I moved down the counter. “Who doesn’t part time as the town’s verbal tabloids.” “I don’t want friends,” I moved to the floor with sugar shakers in my hands, “and by the way, we aren’t opened yet.” He picked up five more shakers and followed behind me, “I know that. I work here.” I stopped and turned to him infuriated, “You what?” I didn’t mean to shout but it just came out. “Please don’t open a bottle of champagne on my account,” he said sarcastically walking past me. He placed the shakers on the tables before
