CHAPTER 97NATALIAI was feeling as if my chest was being pressed down with invincible pressure when Romeo barged into my room with my brother Daniel. The sudden entry made me jump, and I looked at them in confusion. My mind was racing with questions, wondering why they were there, and what had happened. I had barely managed to catch my breath when I realized that I was in the washroom.My stomach churned, and I felt sick again. I vomited once more, and my head felt lightly weighted. My ears were buzzing, and I felt dizzy. I tried to call out to Daniel, to let him know I was okay, but I couldn't find the strength to speak. The only sound that escaped my lips was a weak, raspy gasp.I felt helpless and weak, and the weight of the situation was starting to sink in. My mind was a blur, and I couldn't think straight. I felt like a burden, and the fact that I couldn't even communicate properly only added to my frustration.Then I heard Daniel's worried voice coming from outside the washroo
CHAPTER 98NATALIAI dragged my heavy luggage out of my room and I had to struggle to drag it down the stairs. No one was there to help me and I was too stubborn to ask anyone to help me out. My pride didn’t let me ask someone to help me with my luggage. It looked like My brother Daniel refused to come to help and I know that he was hurt because of my decision of leaving this pack. I don’t blame him either, if I were him I too would have reacted the same way. As I was dragging down my luggage. I heard Elvina’s voice, I stopped and turn carefully so that I won’t slip down the stairs along with my heavy luggage. As I stopped to hear why Elvina stopped me, she didn’t say anything and walked down to be followed by a maid. I didn’t know she has bring her personal maid along with her from her Elven kingdom. That’s the type of luxury you get to experience when you’re a queen on the Elves. “What is it, Elvina?” I asked. “You shouldn’t pick so much weight, your health has not recovery full.”
CHAPTER 99NATALIAThe ride from my pack to my college campus was taking longer than usual, and with each passing minute, my anxiety grew. The once-familiar route now felt like an endless maze, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was going in circles. I watched the world outside the cab window, but nothing looked familiar. It was as if I was in a foreign land, disconnected from everything I knew and loved.As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about my pack, the place I called home for so many years. I had grown up there, made lifelong friends, and found love. But all that changed when I realized that I needed to leave the pack to keep my unborn child safe. It was a difficult decision, but one I knew I had to make.I had left the campus without telling anyone, not even my boyfriend Knight Adriatico. I knew he would try to convince me to stay, and I didn't want to hear it. But as I drew closer to the campus, I felt a pang of regret. I missed him, missed the life we had toge
CHAPTER 100NATALIAI sank back into the leather seat of Knight's sleek, expensive car, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. It had been over a year since I had last seen him, and the awkward silence between us was almost suffocating. I had asked him for help after leaving my pack house, and he had agreed, but now I wish I had found another way.As Knight drove down the road toward his home, I tried to distract myself by looking out the window, but my mind kept wandering back to the uncomfortable situation I was in. I had never been in his car before, and the luxurious interior only served to highlight the distance between them."Nice car," I said, trying to break the silence."Thanks," Knight replied, his voice strained. "I got it last year."We lapsed back into silence, the tension between us growing with every passing moment. I wanted to say something, anything, to make the situation less awkward, but I couldn't think of anything to say. I had never been good at small talk, and n
CHAPTER 101NATALIAI took a deep breath as I stepped into the bathroom. I had never seen anything like it before. The marble floors were pristine, the counters were made of the finest granite, and the lighting was perfect for creating a calming ambiance. I felt like I had stepped into a spa.My eyes were immediately drawn to the shower, which was an enormous glass enclosure that could fit at least four people. I ran my fingers over the smooth glass and smiled to myself. It was a luxurious touch that I had never experienced before.Next, I turned my attention to the bathtub, which was a freestanding masterpiece in the center of the room. The tub was big enough to stretch out in, and I felt my excitement growing as I imagined myself soaking in the warm water.I noticed that Knight had left a few scented candles on the counter, and I grinned as I lit them. The sweet smell of vanilla filled the room, adding to the relaxing atmosphere.I pulled my hair into a loose bun and began to undres
CHAPTER 102NATALIAI followed Knight through the French doors that led to the garden, and I was immediately struck by the beauty of the landscape. The villa's manicured garden was lit up by the last rays of the setting sun, and it glowed in a myriad of colours. The tall trees and lush bushes cast a soft, dappled light across the grounds, and the winding paths led her through an enchanting world.As we walked through the garden, the scent of blooming flowers penetrated her nose, and I breathed in deeply. The fragrance was intoxicating, and it seemed to fill my entire being with a sense of peace and tranquillity. The flowers bloomed in a rainbow of colours, their petals open to the sky as if offering themselves up to the sun's last rays.Knight led me along a path that wound its way around a small pond, and I couldn't help but gasp at the sight before me. The pond was bordered by a profusion of brightly coloured flowers, their petals shimmering in the fading light. A gentle fountain in
CHAPTER 103NATALIAI took a deep breath as I stood outside Knight's room. I could hear the sound of his steady breathing through the door. The thought of facing him after so long filled me with both excitement and apprehension.I hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out to knock on the door. The sound echoed through the silent villa, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. It took a few moments before I heard the sound of movement from inside the room, and then the door slowly opened.There he was, Knight, looking as handsome and stoic as ever. He was shirtless, and I couldn't help but notice the defined muscles of his chest and abs. But I quickly pushed those thoughts aside and cleared my throat, determined to stay focused on why I was here."Hi, Knight," I said softly, looking up at him with a mixture of nervousness and determination.Knight's expression was unreadable as he looked back at me. "Natalia. What brings you here so late?"I took a deep breath, trying
CHAPTER 104NATALIAI lay in bed, tossing and turning. My mind was consumed with thoughts of Romeo. Even though I had rejected him, I couldn't shake the memories of our time together. I felt guilty for even thinking about him when I was with Knight.I had confided in Knight about my fated mate, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I had rejected Romeo. The thought of Knight thinking poorly of me made me feel even worse. I didn't want him to believe that I was only with him because I had no other options.Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my thoughts. I told myself that it was okay to keep some things to myself. I didn't have to tell Knight everything. After all, I had already shared so much with him.Closing my eyes, I attempted to drift off to sleep. I was exhausted from the long day, but my mind refused to rest. I kept replaying moments with Romeo over and over again, wondering if I had made the right decision.As the minutes turned into hours, I grew more and more restl
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
