I was upset. I didn't feel jealous, I didn't like him to be, but, I was upset. After all, he was playing with someone else while I had to lie sick in a bed without the slightest chance of seeing a man."I've had enough of this drinking plan. See ya" I say trying to pull away from him, but, he hugs me like a little boy as he sniffs my scent."I like the way you smell. Even if I'm angry, your scent reaches my nose and it's like it relaxes me." Helmut says and I fold my arms."I doubt that. Because you keep yelling. Every time I see you, you're screaming" I say and he hugs me tighter."When I get angry, I usually kill someone or leave them seriously injured. But, in front of you, I'm not able to show my violent side. You help me relax a little," he confesses."Even if you tell me this, I'm not going to ignore that you've been making out with someone else." I say would be."They died for that" he whispers and that doesn't calm me down even a little.So, my urge to test if it's true that t
The kiss warms my body, as he takes me to a place I don't make an effort to see, because I'm too focused on kissing him. Even though my mind sends alerts to the fear that it will kill me.It's when I feel my ass touch something hard, that I open my eyes and pulling away from him a little, I notice that we're on a pool table. Although I haven't had enough alcohol to drink, I feel quite woozy and judging by the excessive blush on his cheek, so is he. "I think your kisses are making me drunk" Helmut says and I smile at how sweet he looks being drunk."I think I'm drunk too" I confess and he smiles."You lasted a little longer this time to get drunk" Helmut says and I nod.'If you knew I cheated, you wouldn't smile like that' I say mentally.Again he kisses me again and as if that wasn't enough, his lips travel down my neck, warming everything in their path. The alarms stop ringing, as his touch makes me feel wanted. Something that since we've been married, I never thought I'd experienc
The kisses he was giving me, mixed with his warmth and the smell of alcohol, gave my taste buds the taste of glory. My body felt too hot and the desire to experience this first time, ignored any negative consequences that could come with continuing.The man on top of me, pulled away just a little and as if the light touches on my pleasure button were not enough stimulation, he brings his mouth to that wet part of my body, making me moan from the sensations.'Definitely, being touched by someone else is so much better than touching yourself' I say to myself mentally.Just when I think I will die from the movements of his mouth, he pulls away again and as if he knows what, when and how to do it, he watches me with a lewd smile and slowly, unzips his pants.Causing that noise, to be the most perfect music in my ears. Without taking his eyes off me, he pulls down his pants with his underwear, showing me that weapon he's undoubtedly proud of.'How can I not be? He has everything in the per
The next dayMy body aches when I stretch, so, I let out a groan and relax into the soft sheets that embrace me in such a way that I find it hard to open my eyes, feeling so good. "Wake up now" says a cold voice I manage to recognize."I'm exhausted, let me sleep a little, please" I ask covering my face with the sheets so I can sleep a little longer. My body aches, as if I have run a marathon of at least a hundred kilometers, surprising me that I have been able to endure so long having sex, when I only run half an hour and I am already dying."Wake up now, Yaitana," says the man who snatches the sheets from me so roughly that it causes me to wake up.The anger in his gaze makes me silence every complaint I was going to make as my mind tries to process why he is angry if last night he was so happy that even the fourth time we were together, we drank liquor and toasted with our mouths as the sweeping orgasm threatened to make itself known.'How is it possible that a man I was with lik
I hugged him, I wanted to glue those parts of his body about to fall apart, I wanted his cracks to close to the point of becoming scars with which he could live. I wanted to help him heal so he could live without fear, I needed that for our home to be strong and harmonious.However, he roughly pushed me away and his gaze exposed me in such a way that I regretted the method I had used to get him to open up to me. After all, it was not the most correct one."I liked you. It's impossible not to be attracted to you when you are like the warm light in the midst of my dark and cold life. That's why, I tried my best to be cold always. That was to keep you from dying because of me.""I'm not going to die.""It's not something you can control. That's how it was with women before you. I liked some of them, but, their hatred for me, kept me away from them. Others were so arrogant and self-centered that you felt relief when they died.>> But, if you die, woman, it will hurt. Not only because with
Night fell and I did not return home. I was too hurt to return to a place where his hurtful comments outweigh the good things he has said to me. Reluctant to stay in that place, I walk into town and when I arrive at a hotel, I transform into a human and walk to the lobby where several wolves are talking to each other."I need room and clean clothes," I say to the wolf woman behind the desk."I'm sorry, but we don't have..." the she-wolf whispers and when she looks up, her relaxed posture becomes rigid. "We'll get it for you right away, Mr. Baumann," she says."Aitana. Just tell me, Aitana, and please don't tell my husband I'm here," I say wishing he wouldn't find me, though that's impossible, because of where we are."Ma'am, I don't understand what is going on between you, but, I can't omit information to the owner of everything on this island, understand us." Says the woman transforming into a human."Please. I have a lot to think about and if he knows where I am, he will send me bac
Three days laterI was in lust heaven. I had spent three days where I might as well say it was my honeymoon. One where I never left the hotel room, where I met a new Helmut. A man who wasn't just death threats and cold stares, but also, sweet moments where he tells you in your ear how valuable you are, seconds, where he looks at you as the most valuable thing in his life and so much more.He was showing me the Helmut I had undoubtedly dreamed of as my husband. We would watch movies, although most of the time we would get lost in kisses that ended in us making love.We lived moments, where we gave each other massages and told each other things about our lives that we are not easily able to confess. All his fears and hopes, he told me, although it was difficult for him and he asked me for forgiveness for his indecision that only hurt both of us.So, we agreed to live in the now and stop thinking about things that probably won't happen. That's how we spent three days where it was him an
I couldn't describe my happiness when I saw the ring with our names written on it. It was just as I had dreamed it and he was giving it to me now. Without asking for it, he was giving it to me. Truly, I was immensely happy."This... I wasn't expecting this," I merely said."Sorry for taking so long to give it to you. Getting married without knowing each other, made me get the wrong idea about you and wishing it would end soon, I walked away and treated you badly so I could avoid a misfortune." Helmut whispers and I caress his cheek."It is normal to fear and doubt, when you have suffered so much. But please don't hurt me like that again. I doubt you can get me back if you do." I whisper and he kisses my hand."I think the curse is gone. You haven't felt bad and I feel good. If it is true that I am no longer cursed, we can live our romance little by little, without the fear of transformation that can kill you, we can live freely.>>Even, if you wish, we can leave this island and meet a
Fifteen years laterThe world continued its course, my pack had been consolidated thanks to Ariana's contributions. Albert, today he was returning home after fourteen years studying at the academy. Although he always saw for special dates or the anniversary of his mother's death, this time his return was different, because he saw to stay.Ariana gave orders to her people, while I had become a gardener who kept the garden where Aitana rests beautiful. Although to be honest there is little I have to do, because the islanders take turns every few hours to take care of the flowers and bring new ones in honor of the woman who fought to the end.So, I am almost all the time exercising, answering Ariana's tough questions so my brain doesn't rust and going to medical checkups at the insistence of my children.But, today, I would not be the boring man in his monotonous routine, today I would see my son. That one who had succeeded in that academy that now had t
Everyone on the island begins to show their respect for Aitana, while I watch as everything we experience here passes like a few seconds in a trailer. Remembering how I despised her and she wanted to leave here, throwing herself out of a window, makes me realize how much we have changed.Because it is in this place where she wanted to escape from, where she now wants to be forever. One by one they leave, leaving only Cleotilde's family and my closest men, those who knew our story.The night arrives and the castles are illuminated, at Aitana's request, we enter the one that was my castle, where the memories of my mistakes slap me so hard that I find it complicated to continue, however, a warm hand is placed on my hand and invites me to continue."Collect all the pain in here, I want to take it with me." Aitana says and I swallow hard."Aitana...""I am an expert in bearing pain, let me pick up all that pain clinging to those memories, I will take them with me
Six months laterWe had spent the time the doctors had given Aitana and although I wish that was the sign that they had made a mistake with the diagnosis, that was not the case. She had gotten much worse. So much that it hurt.There were times when she didn't remember who she was, others, where she didn't know how to move and at some, she would become so violent as she screamed for them to end her life. She would vomit, many times she would soil herself because she couldn't even warn them.Other times, she would wake up not knowing how to talk and with each step, her brain cancer would take over so much that we had to put the videos and photos we had taken on each walk, because many times she was suspicious even of the children.Today, for example, she did not speak, she did not move, it seemed that she was in a vegetable state, but, it was because her brain was barely functioning, being invaded by a tumor that looked like something full of spikes that were even
We had to let go and I was glad that even remembering all that we had lived and not remembering how well we had spent these months traveling, she decided to move forward. I couldn't say that I decided without knowing what I was doing, because Aitana knew it and I was glad she didn't hold a grudge."I want to leave here. I want us to resume our family trip today" Aitana says and I try to process what's going on."I understand, we will be leaving today" I say trying to get up."Although I don't remember what happened these past few months, there are pictures that give me an idea of it. Also, a few days ago, I had started to write down my thoughts of what I had experienced and although I left a general idea of what I had experienced, I know that I have enjoyed it. That we have been happy" says Aitana and I nod."We really have been. Even though we have measured time, we've spent time being happy the four of us." I murmur and she holds out her hand, which I take.
I could not understand what was going on. The woman who had been hostile when I asked her to come back, was now kissing me. I didn't understand what was going on and although I wanted to kiss her, I pulled away feeling that I was taking advantage of her confusion."Is something wrong?" asks Aitana and I stick closer to the back of my seat, to be away from her."I don't want you because of your mental confusion to feel like I'm taking advantage of you by kissing you" I say and she smiles."I'm the one who started the kiss.""But, I have my memories and I know you didn't agree to come back with me before the surgery or after you didn't have all your memories of the past like you do now." I murmur and she smiles."You are so cautious now. You don't look like the man who kissed me on our wedding day, just because I had another man's scent near me" she murmurs.I immediately, blush for having been so bold knowing I had a curse that could have killed he
The following dayWe had not been able to leave Amsterdam as we had planned, because Aitana was still not awake. Fortunately, the doctors said it was exhaustion that had her sleeping and not something serious.Exhausted from almost no sleep, thinking that she would wake up, I go out to have some coffee and with the computer working on the door of her room, I wait for the hours to pass. However, I have barely managed to sit up in the chair, when I hear a groan.Fearing that something bad has happened in my absence, I open the door to the room, which makes my legs weaken. The woman, who had not woken up, moans slightly as she tries to get up."I'll help you" I say running to her.Gingerly, I help her to sit up and I stand watching her, waiting for a scolding for allowing her to fall, an apology for scaring us or anything. I don't care if it's an insult, what matters to me, is that she speaks.That she tells my mind that she's alive. Because just seeing he
After the words he had said, the boys tried to be strong, but, again they walked away and in front of the pulpit they cried begging for strength to face this, I felt the same way.In silence I cried and when we ran out of energy, we looked at each other and I felt it, the connection of father and sons had been formed, there was no way for anyone in the world to deny or doubt that they were my sons, because this calamity, had consolidated the attempts of connection that in the past had been tried to be made.Something good had happened among so much suffering, but, I did not like the way it had happened. It was painful, we were united, but, it was painful to see my children suffer and me not being able to do something to be able to alleviate their pain."What should we do now?" asks Albert"Show strength to their mother. She suffers a lot, but, she keeps it quiet because she doesn't want you to realize what is happening. But, she didn't want to do that
The hours pass and we are finally allowed to see Aitana after several tests were done and confirmed that she was out of danger. Relief overcomes us and the boys thank God audibly as they wait to see their mother.Happy that my children are not violent like me, we advance to the room where the woman is still not awake. The doctor watches me and I understand that the time to know everything is now.So, I nod for the doctor to come to us and help me to tell what is happening with Aitana. Because I know that alone I can't and I can't disturb more Aitana who tries to look strong, although she suffers a lot."Guys..." I say calling their attention, after they both take their mother's hand, to then kiss this or her forehead."Is something wrong?" asks Albert when he sees that the doctor doesn't leave."I want you to hear your mother's health report. But, before that, I want you to tell me something, are you guys tough guys?" I ask and they look at each other"
I felt that the hourglass that showed me that I had little time left with Aitana, had run out of time from one moment to the next and it was all someone's fault. So, I run towards the people trying to run away from me.Seeing how they run, the desire to hunt takes over me and I run transforming myself into the wolf that never loses a prey. The beast that appeared when the curse caused me to only see my prey to kill it.I run after my prey and many people present scream when they see me turn into an animal, but, I don't care about that. My wife had been hurt and they had to pay for it. Without any fear that the man would die on the spot. I throw myself at him and he falls down with his face looking up at me."S-sir, please. Don't hurt me" the man says in a whisper, while in his gaze there is a fear I can't describe, the only thing that surprises me is that he didn't wet his pants because of the fear he feels.He knew how to do it. Just one bite, one scratch and hi
