*******************************Ethan’s POVI remained calm after seeing the sign Lena gave me. This witch keeps calling me "expressionless," probably because, during our first meeting, I refused to show any reaction on my face.“Do you both need seats too?” she asked, a mocking smile playing on her lips.Before we could even open our mouths to respond, seats appeared the same way they had before—hitting Lena’s leg. This time, they struck us with just as much force, shoving us into them.“Don’t worry, dears, you’ll need the seats. This will take a while.” She paused, scanning our faces, her gaze lingering on mine.“Mr. Expressionless still living up to his name, I see,” she teased, her voice dripping with amusement.I glared at her with as much disgust as I could muster. All I wanted was to rip her apart, but somehow she sensed my thoughts.“Haha, no evil thoughts in my lair, Expressionless, you hear me?” she said, her tone mockingly sweet.I nodded, suppressing the urge to throttle h
*************************Ethan's POV**Joey had teleported us back to the castle. For a moment, I thought it was part of her mischief, so I rushed outside to check if it was real. When I got there, I saw the horses we used tied down, and everything looked like our castle.“Oh, you’re back,” Sophia said as she stepped out of her chambers. She looked like she was getting ready to return to her pack.“Yes, we just got back,” I replied, trying to steady my thoughts.“That was fast,” she remarked, raising an eyebrow. “Did you guys teleport or something?” she laughed lightly.“Well, we actually did teleport back,” I said.“For real?” she teased, clearly not believing me.“Yes, Sophe, for real,” I replied, my voice serious.“Oh my goddess! You aren’t joking, Ethan. You guys really teleported?” Sophia's face grew serious, her eyes wide with surprise.“Who did it? Was it Lena? Or Lyla?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.“No, Sophe, it wasn’t either of them,” I replied.“Then who?” Sophia press
******************************Ethan's POVI stood up, went close to her, patted her head, and said to her."It's not your fault lena, you can let the guilt go now" She looked at me with tears in her eyes, I slowly drew her head closer to my chest so she could rest her head on it so she could cry out her eyes on my chest."Everything will be alright", I said, assuring her while still patting her head. "I have to get back to my pack now" Sophia said standing up from the sofa "As much as I would love to stay here and help out with figuring out what to do, I have a responsibility to go back to and I have been neglecting it for a while now" She paused scanning our faces"I promise to be in touch and to help out as much as I can from where I am,", she said, "Lena, I am grateful for your help. I am grateful for healing me and making me whole again, and I will forever be grateful."She was almost getting down on her knees when Lena quickly rushed up and stopped her from going down on her
***************************Lena's POVI was pacing up and down the room assigned to me, lost in thoughts. I didn't even know when Ethan and Sophia came in. I am sure they must have been standing there for a while trying to get my attention. I was brought back into the room by a touch from Sophia. Yes, I said I was brought back because, physically, my body was there in the room, but my mind was far gone from my body; I was lost in thoughts.Sophia Was about to leave, but she came to say her goodbyes before leaving and to thank me for saving her life. That was what got me into this mess I am in now. Maybe if I had not saved her, I wouldn't have wanted to know, or maybe if I had just died back there at Adrian's Castle, I wouldn't have been bothered with these things.Sophia finally left, after telling Ethan to take good care of me, at least he did a good job that night I was able to fall asleep in his arms but deep into the night, I had a dream, no that wasn't a dream that was a nightm
****************************Lena's POV"Enough now, Lena, Do not say a word anymore; we will think about what to do later in the day. Right now, you have to go back to sleep", Ethan said, wrapping me in his arms.We lay on the bed and he cuddled me to sleep. It took a while before I slept because I couldn't completely push away the dream from my mind. It was hard for me to sleep after having such a nightmare or revelation, whatever you wanna call it.Ethan was doing a good job of cuddling me; I felt safe in his wide arms; his arms were well-built ànd strong with firm muscles that stood, but when he moved, one could see the veins running across them, showing how powerful his arms were. Looking at his arm while standing his forearms looked thick, leading to his arms that seemed both strong and steady. There was a quiet strength in the way he carried his arms when he walked. It displayed signs of hard work and determination. I couldn't believe that this was the first time I was feelin
*********************************Lena's POVI ignored what he said, stuffing more food in my mouth; I almost choked, and I started coughing because I had put too much in my mouth."Oh my, sorry, Lena", he said, offering me a glass of water.I took ìt and gulped all of the content. I don't know why but what he said made me feel anxious and nervous. It's not like he hasn't made his intention known but I wasn't expecting him to put it this way. "I think I am full?" I said"But you barely touched your food,", He said, pointing at the plate.I quickly scanned through my brain to find something that was a suitable excuse, immediately I got one."The baby sometimes doesn't need much food" I lied "Sometimes I get choked whenever it's full" "Oh it does that," he askedI could see that he wasn't buying into the excuse; he disdainfully looked at me, but what did he know? He's not a woman who knows how a woman's body works, and I was glad his sister wasn't around, she would have caught on. Bes
********************************Lena's POV Lyla was affected by the whole thing; she seemed confused; for an ancient witch like her to be this confused, then who am I not to be frustrated? She was trying to avoid talking about my dream; I realised I hadn't told her about my dream, well technically, she would know, or she even probably saw the dream with me too. Please don't crucify me. I still don't know how all this works. Like I said, having another living being inside you does not come with an instruction manual. I wished it did though."You knew I had a dream last night?" I asked She wasn't responding, she was silent for minutes before she finally answered"I saw it too" she replied faintly "You saw it" "How" I asked surprisingly "I don't know how, but I think we are beginning to merge in a way, I am beginning to see the same things you see in your dream, I think very soon you will be able to see mine too," she said "You have nightmares, too?" I asked curiously "Yes I do
**************************Ethan's POV I never knew babies could be so demanding, or maybe she was just saying it so she could leave and go somewhere that's not around me. I felt like she was trying to run away from me.She barely touched her food, and she said she was full; she probably didn't know I was staring at her the whole time; I knew the exact number of spoons she took before she claimed she was full.How the hell does one get a full stomach with just five spoons of food? How, for goddess's sake? She's probably just trying to run away from me, trying not to give me a response yet, playing hard to get. I won't lie she was toying with my feelings.Just these few periods I had Bern closer to her, the love I have for her suddenly multiplied, and it's just not fair of her to keep doing this to me. I know I had hurt her in the past, but couldn't she just let bygones be bygones? I knew she wasn't telling the truth about the child being full; I guess she forgot that I am an alpha w
