~ NATALIA ~
Romeo smirked smugly when he saw me standing at the threshold, boiling in anger. He said to me that he was with my mother, and I ran over here without thinking that he might be lying but I couldn’t think of a reason why he would lie for something like this. He said that he was having fun with my mother, and how my mother was pleasuring him that made me so mad that I didn’t give it a thought before running over here on his one command.
I even lied to Caspian that I wasn’t feeling good when he asked me if I was alright after seeing me bathing into cold sweats.
However, the reason I ran over here and even attacked his royal guards was just a prank that he played on me with his whore. Those women were looking at me with mocking in their eyes. They were judging me by their eyes o
~ NATALIA ~“Nat...Natalia...Baby...Open your eyes baby....” a muffled voice was echoing in my ears and I was fighting to open my eyes to see the face behind that voice only to end up in vain. I couldn’t open my eyes, they were too heavy to open. I felt someone patting my cheeks lightly, it was light as a feather.Tickles ran down on my skin with that touch. All I wanted was to feel that touch forever, it was so soothing.What I was imagining was my boyfriend’s touch but when I opened my aching eyelids after so much effort, I saw the face of the person. It only left me in confusion. I fluttered my eyelids two times to wash away the confusion. However, it was not my delusion to see things, I was actually laying in Romeo’s strong arms. His face was just an inch away from
~ NATALIA ~“Great! Here comes the asshole.” I put my hands up in the air, dismissing my side, I didn’t want to hear what he had come to explain. I knew he was gonna lie about everything because it's the only thing he’s good at.My mom and Romeo both glared at me when I called him an asshole. I mean I wasn’t wrong about him being an asshole. He had been doing every possible thing to prove me right.“Nat. Watch your mouth.” My mom scolded me and I rolled my eyes at her. “You came here to explain, so start to explain. Let’s see how much you would explain.” I folded my arms in front of my chest. He scanned me up and down. His eyes were so intense that for a moment the thought of covering myself into a blanket occurred in my head so that he co
~ NATALIA ~“Tell her, dear, am I wrong?” Romeo had put on an entirely different self that was screaming only pure care. If only I didn’t meet his true self, I would have thrown my whole damn trust in him, too bad he never earned my trust nor my heart.“Tell me, dear, please.” my mother’s soft voice rang into my ears. It was so soft that I thought my ears would bleed to death.“You would never believe me whatever I say, so what's the use of this drama?” I scoffed. I stood strong in both of them. My mother’s gaze was interrogating me, trying to find out what I was hiding. Romeo, being a dick, was tapping his italic leather shoes on the marbled floor, as if he was desperate to hear what I would say.I
~ NATALIA ~ My mom was always a mystery, nobody could guess what might be going on in her head. She would be planning to kill you in the worst way you would have ever thought about but you couldn’t predict it because she always wears her pretty smile that hides so many sides and secrets. Being a mystery she was, I couldn’t decipher what was going on in her mind. Hell would freeze over if I ever got to guess, what’s going on in her upper level. Because of this, I couldn't guess if she knows about me and Romeo or not. “Why are you telling me this? What am I gonna do with all this useless knowledge you’re trying to enlighten me with?” I asked again but this time I applied some pressure. She chuckled lightly and elegantly as the royal blood she wa
~ NATALIA ~ I recognized that pair of eyes the moment they met my eyes. How could I not recognize it when those eyes were the reason for whatever I had been feeling. I had fallen for those eyes that I could recognize even in the crowd of a million people. Those were the eyes of Romeo Velasquez. However, I have learned to pacify my feelings for the man who was born with such a pair of eyes. I did have feelings for him, but he was playing his part so well that those feelings are turning into hate with every breath. “What are you doing here?” Romeo asked. “You shouldn’t be out in the wilderness when your wolf has been suffering from a fever.” “It’s not your business. Now fuck off.” I said and turned around to hike down the mountain. I didn’t want to spend a
~ NATALIA ~ It was absurd of him even ask that question. Man, I was suffocating in there. “I felt like dying there. You suffocate me, Romeo.” I hissed, taking off my elbow from his grip. His eyes were glued on my face and they were so focused as if I was the only thing his eyes could see. “I hate it when you look at me like that. Like you want me but you won’t let me be with you, no matter how hard I try, and here you are telling me that you hate how I smell like your brother.” I remembered letting out a breath of agitation. I didn’t know if it was because I felt so embarrassed for opening up my heart in front of him and I poured out my feelings even though I knew he was going to crush all those feelings under his feet when he would walk away as if it was nothing. “You should have met me earlier
~ NATALIA ~ His tattoo was gorgeous for me to look away. It was like it was telling a story. “Do you like it that much?” Romeo chuckled, his chest bounced when he chuckled. He caught me checking out his tattoo. It was like I couldn’t admire his tattoo and I was never a shy-away- girl, “Yes. It’s beautiful and my thought was clouded with guesses of ‘what could be a story behind this tattoo.’”I told him honestly. I wouldn’t have told him that if we were at the packhouse cause he let me around me and we never really spent time so that our bond could get stronger. In the packhouse, we stayed like strangers, who knew secrets and were forced to live under the same roof. I kind of felt intimidated by him, because of the thought that he could hurt my mom if I go overboard. But it never stopped me from m
~ NATALIA ~ “But how did that witch predict your future and how old were you when she predicted your future? I mean I’ve heard that when a witch predicts someone’s future, she can't say it out loud.” I asked. The curiosity was getting the best out of me. I couldn’t compose myself when I was alone with him, no matter how hard I was trying to keep a bitch face. “Yes, she didn’t predict out loud, instead she gave me this.” “What?” I raised my eyebrow. Romeo stretched out his firm arm to show me, “I was ten years old when Darla- I mean Danny’s mother predicted my future by inking my future on my arm with her magic. I gasped to imagine how much it must have hurt him when he had got that tattoo at that young
NATALIASitting there with Romeo, just shooting the breeze, out of nowhere, this crazy pain hit me like a freight train. Water everywhere – turns out my water broke, and I wasn't supposed to pop until next week. Talk about the unexpected, right? Now, our pack's got this rule about having to pop out your pups right here on our turf. No escaping that one. So, here I am, dealing with this delivery agony a week ahead of schedule. Romeo's flipping out, screaming for help. Pack folks start swarming in like bees, all wide-eyed and worried. Picture this: me, in the middle of a makeshift delivery room surrounded by anxious wolves. Pain's getting wild like some primal force taking over. Romeo's there, clueless as ever, and I'm just pushing through the chaos. Let me tell you, delivering twins is no joke. Contractions hit like a sledgehammer, each one dragging on for what feels like forever. The pack's trying to help, but they can't take away the grind of it all. It's a full-on battle, not just p
SYDNEYMy fingers danced nervously over the phone's keypad as I dialed Romeo's number. The urgency in my chest fueled the anxiety in my voice when he finally picked up."Romeo, it's Sydney," I blurted out, the words tumbling over each other. "I need your advice. Should I head to Natalia's now? Something just doesn't feel right, like there's an eerie cloud hanging over her due date."There was a pause on the other end, and then he asked, "What's going on?"It's hard to explain," I began, struggling to find the right words. "It's like there's something malevolent inside her, something beyond the ordinary. I can't shake this feeling that the child she's carrying isn't just a bundle of joy. It's like there's a darkness, and it's threatening both her and the baby."I could almost hear Romeo furrowing his brow on the other end. "Darkness? What do you mean?"I mean, it's as if there's an evil presence in her womb," I confessed, my voice dropping to a hushed tone. "And I'm afraid that once that chi
ELVINAAlone in the dimly lit chamber, the oppressive weight of my actions hangs in the air, suffocating me like a dense fog. The flickering candles cast dancing shadows on the intricately carved runes etched into the cold stone floor, each symbol a testament to the forbidden path I've tread. Natalia lies motionless on the altar, her presence a fragile vessel for the soul I sought to resurrect. As the cold reality settles in, doubt snakes through my mind like a relentless serpent. The initial madness that drove me to perform the forbidden ritual now morphs into a gnawing unease. Regret, thick and palpable, permeates the atmosphere, saturating the very air I breathe. What was once a desperate bid to bring back my sister now feels like a pact with shadows and echoes. A solitary tear traces a path down my cheek, its journey mirroring the torment within. Natalia, vulnerable and unconscious, is now the unwitting conduit for a force beyond her understanding. The chamber, once filled with th
DANIELI was seriously frustrated, like a fire about to explode, as I gripped Elvina's shoulder. My eyes shot a warning, trying to convey the urgency of what I was about to say. "I warned you, Elvina! Stay away from Natalia!" You could practically feel the echoes of my caution lingering in the charged air around us. Elvina's eyes were a storm of defiance as she forcefully pulled my hand away from her shoulder. Her words were sharp, cutting through the room. "You can't control me. Unless you want her to die, that is. The child she's carrying is the reincarnation of my sister, and her soul is not something anyone can dictate or tolerate."The room turned into an emotional battlefield, with unspoken truths and the weight of our complicated history thickening the air. I was torn between protecting Natalia and trying to wrap my head around the profound connection Elvina felt. The room's dim light created shadows on our strained faces, each expression revealing the depth of our internal stru

NATALIAMy heart raced like the staccato beat of distant drums as I approached Romeo, the flickering candlelight in the dimly lit room casting shadows on my face. The air crackled with the anticipation of finally meeting my twin sister, Dahlia— a reunion I had yearned for since the moment I discovered her existence. "Romeo," I began, my voice a delicate symphony tinged with excitement, "have you managed to reach Sebastian? I can't bear the agonizing wait any longer—I need to see Dahlia."Romeo's eyes, a canvas of uncertainty, met mine as he shook his head, "I haven't been able to get in touch with him yet, Natalia."A surge of frustration tightened its grip on my chest, like a vine constricting around my heart. I knew all too well the significance of Sebastian's elusive approval, especially in light of the unique bond he shared with Dahlia. "This is unbearable," I sighed, my impatience echoing in the hushed room. The scent of aged parchment and ancient secrets hung in the air, underscor
NATALIAAs the soft pads of my fingertips caressed the gentle curve of my burgeoning belly, I found solace in the quietude of the moment. The room was hushed, and the only symphony that mattered played within the confines of my body—the rhythmic ballet of life unfolding. A tender smile graced my lips, a testament to the profound connection I felt with the two tiny souls growing beneath my touch.Their kicks, playful and spirited, transformed my womb into a lively arena. Each flutter echoed the promise of an impending joy, and as their tiny feet danced beneath my skin, laughter escaped me—an involuntary melody in response to the enchanting rhythm of life within. It was as if my body had become a sanctuary, a haven where the language of kicks and twirls spoke volumes.Overwhelmed by the sheer magic of it all, tears welled up, glistening like dewdrops on the petals of a delicate flower. These were tears of joy, a manifestation of the profound emotion that coursed through me—a blend of grat
NATALIASo, picture this: I'm casually strolling through the garden vibes early in the morning, right? The sun's doing its thing, making the whole place light up like a chill paradise. The flowers are showing off their colors, and I swear, even the birds are in on this morning's party. Sarah, my partner in crime, joins me on this nature expedition. We're just soaking in the good vibes, you know? The air is all fresh and crisp, and there's this subtle aroma of blooming flowers, like nature's own perfume. As we mosey along, Sarah throws in some real talk and grabs my hand like we're in a cheesy movie. "Natalia," she says, "I'm seriously so pumped for you and those soon-to-be little adventurers." Her grin matches the sunshine, and I'm just standing there, feeling like life is hitting the perfect notes. Our garden hangout is like our secret spot. The flowers are like our cheering squad, and the whole scene feels like a happy conspiracy. At that moment, I was just overwhelmed with gratitud
NATALIA My body's like this bloated spaceship carrying two tiny passengers, and we're six months into this twin adventure. Let me tell you, it's a marathon of discomfort. Every step feels like I'm lugging around a ton of bricks – a constant reminder of the two little miracles growing inside me. Now, nights used to be my chill zone, but oh boy, that's changed. I'm haunted by these crazy nightmares like there's some evil plot unfolding in my belly. Mornings roll around, and instead of shaking off the bad dreams, they stick around like unwanted guests. The kicks and flutters? Yeah, they used to be cute, but now they're like tiny reminders of something I can't quite put my finger on. It's not just the physical strain; it's like I'm emotionally unraveling too. You'd think expecting twins would be all rainbows and butterflies, but there's this weird sense of doom hanging over everything. It's like there's this intangible darkness camping out inside me, and I'm starting to doubt if this is
