“Well I didn’t miss you.” I grumbled and he knitted his brows together. “You didn’t?” “Not even a little bit.” “Then who were you just cursing out loud?” He asked and I looked up to find him struggling stifling a laugh. “Come on, love. Tell me.” “Someone who isn’t you for sure.” “Come on now. Don’t lie to me.” “Why would I lie?” I growled and he backed up. “Just so you know, your ears become red when you lie.” He said trying hard not to laugh. “Fine! I was grumbling about you! I hate you! There I said it. Happy?” I huffed and he stepped forward wrapping his arms around me. He pulled me into his chest. “How can I be happy learning that you hate me?” He whispered. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner.” “It’s okay.” I grumbled. “But this is the last time I will forgive you without any consequences.” “You won’t be allowed another situation like this.” After that day, he came to visit me twice in the next week. And he did call everyday as per promise. But the time only reduced with e
I impatiently stared out the window as the somewhat familiar landscape passed by. We hadn’t stopped once on our way here. And Ryko drove as fast as he could after I growled and threatened him multiple times.My heart refused to settle as tons of different scenarios played through my mind. I couldn’t help but think what if he changed his mind. What if he went back to that female again. I say went back as if I was completely sure he was fully mine for even a second. I wanted to trust him, I wanted to think positively but everything that has happened really doesn’t allow me to. And the time I spent with him, the way he behaved, so devoted, so passionate, feels like a fever dream now.We reached the gate to the pack, but it didn’t open for us. Two guards approached and Ryko rolled down his window. He spoke to the guards, but they didn’t seem to budge. It was taking too long for me to just sit around when I knew he was only a few meters away. I glanced at the guards and threw open the car
After Erdem had left that evening, I tossed and turned on my bed as I struggled to fall asleep. Sleep, though, seemed to escape me. I tried to wear myself out by moving about the house, but I was still unable to fall asleep. On top of that, the tiny beast I was carrying seemed restless as well. He, too, moved rapidly, not allowing me to take a breather. As soon as I was able to close my eyes, he would kick, waking me up. When the sun's early rays first hit my face directly, I found myself dozing off on the couch. I sighed as I pressed my palms against my face. I sat up and the little beast lightly kicked. I couldn’t help but shake my head and let the small smile escape.“You seem more restless than I am,” I whispered as I ran my hand gently over my belly. And perhaps in response, the little beast stirred.“Is it getting boring in there?” I asked and felt him move under my touch again. I gulped and closed my eyes.“Stay in there for as long as possible, my little eagle. This world is a
I pulled myself up and sat down leaning against the headboard of my bed. I sighed as my eyes drifted to the open window of my room. The white curtains were dancing with the gentle breeze as the soft rays of the sun filtered through them. I closed my eyes as my heart clenched. Three nights had gone by since that morning in the garden, and I haven’t gotten a single glance of him. He vanished like a ghost, yet I was here desperately searching and waiting. He truly knows how to play with me.“Nesta! Are you awake, dear?” Vesna’s voice came through the closed door of my room and got out of bed.“Yes! Come in!” I responded and she pushed open the door.“Breakfast is on the table; I am going to see Vera. I will return in a week.” She smiled as she fixed her hat. I smiled and nodded. She walked inside and pulled me in a hug.“Take care of yourself.” Vesna pulled back and walked out. She glanced back and smiled at me before closing the door and leave. When I heard the front door of the house c
I hurriedly washed my bloody hand in the lake as the water slightly stung the fresh cuts. I put the dress on and stood up slowly, afraid that I might startle him with any sudden movement. Arion watched me with curious eyes as I slowly made my way to him. I lifted my hand, and he took a small step back but didn’t run away. He glanced at my hand and my face. After thinking for a while, he took a step forward and truly astonished me by licking my palm. I could help but smile as he lowered his head, and I took it as a sign of his approval. Without any delay, I softly placed my hand on his head and my palm snicked in his soft, luscious hair. I gently petted his head.“Thank you,” I muttered, and he snorted in response.I sat there, under the shade of the tree and watched as the sun descended to the horizon. Arion hung around there all the while. Munching on the grass and standing beside me at times. He even went as far as bringing me an apple. And I enjoyed his silent company to the fulles
“Shut up! You little bitch!” I spat and the smirk on her lips grew. I was overcome with the intense need to see her bleed. I wanted nothing more than to rip her head off and finish this. I had let my animal instincts take over me. And the want to kill took over my being and all I saw was red as my hold on her throat tightened. My chest vibrated with threatening growls that took over the sound of her whimpering in my hold.My head shot to my right when a large palm grasped the hand that was wrapped around Sigrún’s throat. “Let her go, Nesta,” I growled in response and Anxo’s hold slightly tightened.“This is not you.” He calmly said never breaking eye contact with me as Sigrún continued to whimper and gasp for air.“You will regret this. Let her go!” His voice wasn’t commanding, yet I was tempted to give in to his requests. I could feel the rage that had consumed me slowly subside. Allowing me to breathe and understand what I was doing.“Let go.” He murmured and his hold on my hand loo
“…I heard he is back?” A warrior asked and the other one nodded.“You heard right. I just escorted him to his residence.”“Are they…?” I looked up at Anxo and he nodded, “He returned a few hours ago.” Anxo said in a monotonous voice, and I nodded. All kinds of thoughts started playing in my head as I started to walk.The conversation and the things she told me started to play in vivid details as I barely managed to keep walking. Hundreds of scenarios played in my head as I started to rush back home. And all of them ended up being the same. I don’t want to see him. I have to go away. And for that, I can not return back to my house.“I-I’m going to visit the garden,” I murmured as I turned around and started heading to the forest.“What! Let me come with you!” Anxo shouted as I rushed into the forest.I shook my head as I frantically blabbered. “No. Don’t follow me.”In a matter of moments, I started running as my mind tried to navigate through the forest amidst thousands of soul crushi
The slightly thick crimson liquid that coursed through my vein slowly filled the clear long tube and dripped into the tiny glass bottle. I watched as the blood swirled and filled the glass bottle. Andjela removed the needle from my arm and waited till the tube was emptied into the glass bottle. She sealed the bottle, and I sat up.“We need just another half bottle. Come by whenever you want tomorrow.” She smiled and I nodded. Andjela is the healer whom I have been visiting from the very beginning of my pregnancy. And she has been like a rock to me when I had the breakdown in her office last week.“I will,” I murmured, and she handed me a pill and a glass of water. The pill is supposed to help me gain blood really quickly.“I will see you tomorrow then.” I smiled back at her and nodded my head before walking out of her office.The house was just as I left it a few hours ago. Vacant, cold, and dark. Vesna wasn’t back yet. She had called though, informing me that she has to stay there fo
