Natalia:My heart raced against my chest as I felt my dragon being close and yet so far to reach.I could tell that Crystal was here somewhere, I just didn’t know where she was.Blake wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him as we entered the podium. No one really bothered to approach us, and I knew the reason; everyone now believed that we were either cursed, or they thought that they were going to watch us die.I looked at mum who was standing in the center of the podium along with Blake’s parents and the two of us frowned before being approached by them. Almost everyone else had their families waiting for them. Mum wrapped her arms around me, pulling me in for a hug before I could say a word, and though I didn’t understand her reason, I couldn’t help but feel my chest ache.This was the first hug that she has given me in years.She pulled away to look me in the eye before running her finger over my cheek, clearly in pain because of what was happening to me. Thoug
Blake:I growled as I saw my brother shifting, no longer able to contain himself as his instincts took over.The portals revealed the manipulators that were summoned by my wife, and I couldn’t help but find myself growing proud of her strength. To say the least, I knew that she was going to grow a lot stronger now that she knew who she was and what she was capable of.Drake let out a low growl, and I couldn’t help but recall the fact that the man wasn’t even in his head. Whatever was going on, I knew that the witches were having some sort of control on him, and though it pained me to consider, I knew that I had to end this one way or the other.Natalia looked at me and I nodded in assurance as I watched Crystal take flight. The fact that she fought against the control of the witch made me proud of how strong her bond grew with Natalia despite the short period.I took a step toward my brother, my stance ready for his attack as I saw Ariana and Riya, the two who pretended to be on our s
Natalia:My heart raced as I looked at the demon who formed in front of me.The fact that she was burning the room that was beside me, the room that had my mate inside, made my heart race. And that was something that I knew she was going to try and play with, my fear, anger, and worry. But that wasn’t something that I wanted to give her. “I do believe that it would make things faster if the two of you choose to give up.” She said, her voice sending chills down my spine as I looked at my mate who was trying to stay as far away from the fire. I tried controlling it, but nothing seemed to work. The fact that I knew that Jaiden, the man who was supposed to be my father, was fighting his own dad at the podium scared me. If anything, the fact that they were a father and son getting into this was something that broke me inside, but I knew now that no matter what I was going to say or what I was going to do, nothing would matter. It wasn’t even about me and my husband, these witches were ai
Blake:My heart raced against my ribcage as different monitors kept beeping. I squeezed my eyes tightly before forcing them to open, reminding myself of my ability to use my motors.However, that didn’t go as well as I planned for it to as I found myself squinting my eyes shut, trying to avoid the light that was in the room.“Blake?” My mum’s voice filled my ears, and though I was hurt by her and dad, I couldn’t describe the pain that I felt because of them, I couldn’t help but feel thankful for her presence.“Natalia?” I said, shaking my head as I tried finding her. My heart raced and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw her laying beside me, her chest rising and falling with each breath that she took. She didn’t have an oxygen mask, unlike the one that I had, but I could see the bandages that were almost all over her body.“She is just asleep right now. The doctors have instructed that she gets as much rest as she can as she would need to regain her strength after what happened.” M
Natalia:I frowned as we entered the room to find Myla dead on the ground with a knife dug deep in her chest.“Blake?” I asked, voicing out of my confusion and he shook his head.“It was the right thing to do, and she would have done it to herself anyway.” He said, and I frowned in confusion. I got inside his head and my heart dropped as I heard and saw what he was referring to. “Blake, that means?” I asked and he shook his head.“I don’t know how accurate it is, but I know that things are going to be complicated from here.” He said, and I looked at Ryan who was quiet throughout the whole thing. I knew that him being the Alpha’s current beta, he would be lost in so many thoughts, but right now, we needed to know whether or not they needed our help. “They are in their graves…”“We are just going to have to dig them out,” Blake said, stopping me. He frowned as he looked at the door behind me and it wasn’t until screams echoed through the walls that I frowned. I went to rush toward the
Blake:I smiled as I wrapped my arm around my wife, guiding her toward the flower field just like the vision that I showed her.Though I had to admit, the last thing that I expected was for her to be pregnant or the two of us as injured, but I knew that it was now or never. And I wasn’t going to lose the chance to make her the happiest woman on the planet."You actually had them making the garden?” Natalia asked and I smiled before connecting my lips with hers. I bit her bottom lip, pulling it gently before resting my forehead against hers as I pulled away from the kiss. “I take it as a yes?”“A thousand times,” I said, watching as she turned around to look at the flowers. The smells of roses, lilies, orchids, and jasmines filled the air around us, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips when she turned around to face me as I kneeled down on one knee. It was something that I dreamed of, but I didn’t know how things were going to be. But I knew one thing, I wanted to be a
Natalia: “Mum, you do realize that I am marrying a man over a contract?” I asked looking at my mum who just handed me the paper which had arrived with the man’s lawyer. The idiot hadn’t even bothered showing up to sign it along my side. He had signed his and sent it for me to ‘read’ and ‘sign’ before coming. “Natalia, it’s not like you wanted a wedding to begin with” Mum argued, trying to convince me that this was okay. “I can’t even have one, mum” “Then I don’t see what the issue is, Natalia…” “Mum, the man is a billionaire, don’t you find it a bit odd that he wouldn’t want an extravagant wedding where paparazzi would be swarming the place?” I raised my hand in confusion. Mum shrugged and I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I looked at the paper which has been on my dresser for the past twenty minutes as I debated whether or not to sign it. There was no backing out now, I knew that for fact. “Natalia, the man is the best that you would be able to find. You saw his pictur
Blake: “Alpha” my second beta, Ryan, said avoiding my eyes. He could already feel my anger, and I had a feeling that whatever he was going to say wasn’t going to make things any lighter. “What is it, Ryan?” “We have a little problem” I nodded dismissing him and looked at the woman who stood in front of me. My wife… Her brown hair was neatly curled, though remembering the picture mum had shown me; I was already aware that her hair was naturally curly. I pulled my phone out my pocket and called the maid to come over. I had already assigned the maids that were to be at her service. “Alpha” “Jodie, this is my wife, you and the girls would be tending to her needs. For now, I believe that she would want to go and rest, her trip had been a long one” I said walking past the women out to the front porch where I could hear my pack members. The smell of a foreign wolf made my own wolf stir, and a growl escaped my chest before I could control it. “What is it?” I asked walking out of the ho
