~ NATALIA ~His laugh was the evidence of his evilness, his ruthlessness, the way he was playing with a strand of my hair, and the way it was making my throat pulse, then something between my thighs pulse, too.However, his attention was not on me. It never was. Whether he was staring at my father or somewhere in the surrounding, he let his gaze wander on me. It was like he was afraid. Afraid that his eyes will tell me something that he might be hiding. Or maybe it was just my heart that was telling me to worship him even after I saw him torturing my father.My heart was never ready to accept his ruthlessness and betrayal towards me and my father. My heart still forced me to suppose it was just a show. A show to make me hate him. He was trying to show me that I should be scared of him. But I couldn&rsquo
~ NATALIA ~“Everything you saw until now, wasn’t real. But what I’m gonna do with you now, will be surreal that you will beg for my mercy. I will squeeze this fragile neck of yours, but I will not snap it, rather it will bring tears to these mesmerizing eyes of yours. Then, you will feel endless suffocation that will bring you to the verge where your knees will slowly start getting numb, you want me to stop but then you will be asking for me to keep going. To keep tormenting you, till the point where you will accept the fact that death would be more pleasing than whatever I will be doing with you, my little thing.” He said. He said all those things without being unfazed by the fact of how much it was affecting me, maybe he already know how much effect he had on me.My heart was ready to leave the ribcage. It felt like spilli
~ NATALIA~ “The fuck you did to her…” I heard a male voice but I couldn’t interpret whose voice it was, all I know, as I was struggling to breathe, I could hear my heart beating furiously in my eardrums, I could feel the cold sweats covering my body and something liquid was flowing out of my nose. I brought my shaking hand and touch my nose to see the blood. And it was the last thing that I remembered before it seems like gravity has left me. I saw my surroundings revolving in a swift blur and felt strong arms around me before I felt like I had died. It was all the darkness and some indistinct chatter that I was aware of. Someone was yelling that was obviously pleasing to my ears, it was like someone was arguing loud enough that it was forcing me to open my eyes but I couldn’t, my eyelids were too heavy to open them. I tried my hardest and eventually, my eyes fluttered open and the loud argument welcomed me to the daylight. My head was spinning and was splitting into pieces, I groan
~ NATALIA ~ The one, two whom I ran to get the answers to my wild questions, the question that was eating me inside at a leisurely pace that, was hurting me even more than it should. But the one who has the answer was sitting in front of me, not paying any attention to me. I was standing in his throne room, my feet were giving up but I forced myself to stand tall in front of him to an extreme extent that my body was aching, yet I was standing nonetheless. My breath was shaking, the cold sweat that was covering my body, making my clothes stick up to my body, making the curves more visible. “Did you really do that?” I was expecting him to answer me by asking what I was talking about. I was expecting him to already know what I was asking and why I was there at that point. However, he didn’t answer, he walked lazily toward the wine counter and poured him his usually expensive wine, which he got as a gift from a friend of his, Alpha Silas forest is his name. “Answer me.” But he stayed
~ NATALIA~ I was wrong for the thought that there might be something else Romeo want to tell me. He might be trying to give me a hint or something. But I was a fool to even think about it, indeed he was right I was a fool. I was being fooled by the fucking mate bond that never mattered to him. For him, I was just someone with whom he had a fling and then he dropped me. I gritted my teeth, I was angry, at him and on me, for still expecting something out of this stupid conversation. He definitely had tortured my dad till he died. He was the reason behind all the misery. I was miserable and I am miserable because I was still searching for a hope that we could be together, that he might be doing all this with a reason, but again I was wrong. There’s nothing but pure hate for me and lust toward my mother that he cannot deny and I have to swallow this harsh truth. “I was half doped up on fucking mate bond that we have, I wouldn’t say I fucked you with a sane mind, did I?"
~ Natalia ~Suddenly my body was feeling warm. Suddenly the coldness that I was feeling was gone. It was I was floating in air. My body was weightless. I could feel was warm ripples of water around my body, taking away all the pain and agony. "Ahh, this is it...." I thought to myself. The darkness was comfortable. A/NI'm really sorry guys. I just wrote a small paragraph. I couldn't get a chance to write today's update as there was power cut in our place. But i promise, I'll make up for this one in the upcoming chapters. Again, I'm sorry. Please be understanding.
CHAPTER 43 ~~ NATALIA~Suddenly my body was feeling warm. Suddenly the coldness that I was feeling was gone. It was like I was floating in the air. It was like my body was weightless. All I could feel were warm ripples of water around my body, taking away all the pain and agony.“Ahh, this is it…” This is what I thought to myself. The darkness was comfortable as it was clawing its nails into my flesh.“Natalia…” The voice was muffled and I tried to follow the voice but all I could see was the darkness. I looked here and there, to find a source of that voice. I waited once again to be called. One, two, three, four… I counted my breath as I waite
~ NATALIA ~I coughed out the remaining water that was stuck in my lung and Caspian kept patting my back to help me out as much as he could. I gasped after choking and coughing so hard, Caspian was still beside me, he was close to me and his closeness was like a rope around my throat that was getting tighter with every passing second.“Don’t fucking touch me,” I yelled. And he looked at me bewildered by my sudden change like the weather. “I’m just trying to help you, for dickhead sake, lemme fucking help you!” He raised his voice and continued to help me.I scream my tears not stopping. "You said yourself that you'd protect me from your brother, isn’t it what you were supposed to do if you are going to be my fiance? You said you won’t let him touch me, that
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
