That night, I lay awake in my bed. Tossing and turning. Him leaving made me fear the worst. What if he can’t return or worse didn’t want to return? What if something worse happens! What will I do if he returns to his old ways? If something like that happens, I don’t know how I will be able to recover. I wanted to believe his words. I wanted to believe everything he said. But something in me was afraid. I was afraid to get my heart broken…again. But my heart wanted to open up to him completely, at the time, was building up a wall trying to protect itself. And the fear of the unknown kept me awake that entire night.When the sun was by the horizon the next morning, I was on my way to the garden. The fridge was practically empty, so I took some vegetables from my garden and went to the kitchen. I wonder how he would behave with Sigrún now. And I wonder if he would share all this Anxo. If he does, Anxo will for sure tell him the truth. But before he leaves, I must tell him about Sigrún an
I stared at the healer with annoyance that I was trying my best to hide. I tried to be as polite as I could when she asked me questions. I just wished for everyone to leave me alone. I was a little dizzy in the morning, yes. But I know my body better than anyone and I knew there was nothing wrong with me or my child.“Well, everything seems to be fine.” The healer finally said putting away his instruments. “Your blood pressure is normal; your heartbeat is steady. And the child’s heartbeat is strong and healthy. You have nothing to worry about.”“Thank you.” I politely said as I glanced at my father who was standing by my bed, looking anxious. “See? I told you I was fine?” I shook my head.“Make sure to stay hydrated, eat well and rest when you need to. And try not to stress too much. I know how emotionally stressful time you all are going through. But remember, stress is not good for the child.”“I will keep that in mind. Thank you.” The healer smiled at me and turned around.“I will
I curled up on my bed, clutching a pillow to my chest. I was still waiting for him fighting the immense tiredness that threated to take over. I yawned as I checked the clock. It was almost midnight. Where was he? The fear really started to take over at that point and I assumed the worst. Perhaps he changed his mind. Maybe he ran out of time and went back. Or is way to exhausted to come. Or maybe, he doesn’t want to come. I buried my face in the pillow and closed my eyes trying to sleep. But all I could think of was many unknown reasons why he didn’t show up. And every single one of them ended up being he simply didn’t want to. I suppose there is no point of waiting then.I saw a shadow, a large and black shadow that shifted at the blink of an eye. I tried to look more carefully trying to make out what the shadow was. I gasped and took a step back when I saw the shadow take a more prominent form. It was a large black wolf, its golden eyes glowed as it dodged trees and rocks, jumping ov
“Well I didn’t miss you.” I grumbled and he knitted his brows together. “You didn’t?” “Not even a little bit.” “Then who were you just cursing out loud?” He asked and I looked up to find him struggling stifling a laugh. “Come on, love. Tell me.” “Someone who isn’t you for sure.” “Come on now. Don’t lie to me.” “Why would I lie?” I growled and he backed up. “Just so you know, your ears become red when you lie.” He said trying hard not to laugh. “Fine! I was grumbling about you! I hate you! There I said it. Happy?” I huffed and he stepped forward wrapping his arms around me. He pulled me into his chest. “How can I be happy learning that you hate me?” He whispered. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner.” “It’s okay.” I grumbled. “But this is the last time I will forgive you without any consequences.” “You won’t be allowed another situation like this.” After that day, he came to visit me twice in the next week. And he did call everyday as per promise. But the time only reduced with e
I impatiently stared out the window as the somewhat familiar landscape passed by. We hadn’t stopped once on our way here. And Ryko drove as fast as he could after I growled and threatened him multiple times.My heart refused to settle as tons of different scenarios played through my mind. I couldn’t help but think what if he changed his mind. What if he went back to that female again. I say went back as if I was completely sure he was fully mine for even a second. I wanted to trust him, I wanted to think positively but everything that has happened really doesn’t allow me to. And the time I spent with him, the way he behaved, so devoted, so passionate, feels like a fever dream now.We reached the gate to the pack, but it didn’t open for us. Two guards approached and Ryko rolled down his window. He spoke to the guards, but they didn’t seem to budge. It was taking too long for me to just sit around when I knew he was only a few meters away. I glanced at the guards and threw open the car
After Erdem had left that evening, I tossed and turned on my bed as I struggled to fall asleep. Sleep, though, seemed to escape me. I tried to wear myself out by moving about the house, but I was still unable to fall asleep. On top of that, the tiny beast I was carrying seemed restless as well. He, too, moved rapidly, not allowing me to take a breather. As soon as I was able to close my eyes, he would kick, waking me up. When the sun's early rays first hit my face directly, I found myself dozing off on the couch. I sighed as I pressed my palms against my face. I sat up and the little beast lightly kicked. I couldn’t help but shake my head and let the small smile escape.“You seem more restless than I am,” I whispered as I ran my hand gently over my belly. And perhaps in response, the little beast stirred.“Is it getting boring in there?” I asked and felt him move under my touch again. I gulped and closed my eyes.“Stay in there for as long as possible, my little eagle. This world is a
I pulled myself up and sat down leaning against the headboard of my bed. I sighed as my eyes drifted to the open window of my room. The white curtains were dancing with the gentle breeze as the soft rays of the sun filtered through them. I closed my eyes as my heart clenched. Three nights had gone by since that morning in the garden, and I haven’t gotten a single glance of him. He vanished like a ghost, yet I was here desperately searching and waiting. He truly knows how to play with me.“Nesta! Are you awake, dear?” Vesna’s voice came through the closed door of my room and got out of bed.“Yes! Come in!” I responded and she pushed open the door.“Breakfast is on the table; I am going to see Vera. I will return in a week.” She smiled as she fixed her hat. I smiled and nodded. She walked inside and pulled me in a hug.“Take care of yourself.” Vesna pulled back and walked out. She glanced back and smiled at me before closing the door and leave. When I heard the front door of the house c
I hurriedly washed my bloody hand in the lake as the water slightly stung the fresh cuts. I put the dress on and stood up slowly, afraid that I might startle him with any sudden movement. Arion watched me with curious eyes as I slowly made my way to him. I lifted my hand, and he took a small step back but didn’t run away. He glanced at my hand and my face. After thinking for a while, he took a step forward and truly astonished me by licking my palm. I could help but smile as he lowered his head, and I took it as a sign of his approval. Without any delay, I softly placed my hand on his head and my palm snicked in his soft, luscious hair. I gently petted his head.“Thank you,” I muttered, and he snorted in response.I sat there, under the shade of the tree and watched as the sun descended to the horizon. Arion hung around there all the while. Munching on the grass and standing beside me at times. He even went as far as bringing me an apple. And I enjoyed his silent company to the fulles
