Natasha’s POV“You should have gone here with Draven to ensure your safety,” I frustratedly said to Sayna.Saya averted her gaze as if avoiding to look into my eyes.Seeing her reaction made me so much more nervous than I already was.“Sayna,” I called, which sounded out authoritative even if I didn’t want it to be, it just came out.The last thing I want is for Sayna to be upset with me after everything she did for me.“He doesn’t know I left town. No one knows I left and where I went,” she whispered, head down, looking at her feet.I deeply closed my eyes as I massaged my temple upon hearing what she just said.Why would she do that?!As much as I love my friend, Sayna, I think she will be the death of me.“Sayna, please. Please, you have to go home now,” I pleaded to Sayna as I held both of her hands tightly. Scared than I have ever been.“Natasha, but I—““Sayna, this is for your own safety. You have been gone for weeks and I know they are probably looking for you already and worr
Natasha's POV"So, is Elyse coming?" I asked Valerian.For the past hours, I tried so hard to avert my attention from worrying and thinking too much about Sayna. I could not do anything right now but find out what's the reason why Sayna can't track me because if Sayna could not track me, does it mean that anyone from my pack could not too? If so, why?I want to know. Badly.And for now, I can only think of one way to be close to the truth.Hanging out with Elyse in these times will not only clear my mind. I can maybe dig up some information too.Valerian just nodded at me.I smiled. Not a forced one this time.Valerian wasn't lying because not a long time had passed before Elyse arrived in his office."Natasha!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.As usual, this girl has a lot of energy. She just really never runs out of enthusiasm."Hi," I greeted back with a smile, feeling a little bit better now.Seeing Elyse calms my thoughts down. Probably because of her energy and maybe because she
Natasha's POV"It's late."Valerian's voice filled my ears as I entered the kitchen.The whole place is slightly dim that it was almost eerie if it weren't for the glow of the moon cursing through the kitchen windows.Knowing that the moon is illuminating the mansion; being in the dark with the devil doesn't scare me as much."It's late, Natasha," he repeated.I halted.I wanted to say that the sun had just set and it was not late but I stopped myself because he sounded so cold and authoritative.I wanted to turn my back on him and go out of the kitchen again but I gathered all my courage and stood up firmly."Sit," Valerian said curtly.I took a breath and walked towards the dining table.I sat on the chair opposite from where he was sitting.The moment I was sat in front of him, my heartbeat became slow and steady.I felt peaceful.As much as I hate to admit it, Valerian has the ability to calm my nerves down by just being in silence with him, solely because we are mates.Valerian's
Natasha's POVI deeply closed my eyes as I let Valerian's words register in my mind."Natasha," he called.He continued to softly caress my cheeks.It calmed me down and gave me comfort."Natasha."My name stumbled from his lips yet again.Valerian's touch traveled from my cheeks down to my chin and then my lips.He caressed my lower lip.I finally opened my eyes.He's deeply staring down at me."No," I muttered.Confusion came across Valerian's face but I felt him slowly removed his hand from my face.I was taken aback by how obedient he was.How he removed his hand quickly from my face the moment I uttered the word "no"And, this is exactly why I said no. Valerian actions confuses me and for some reason, it manages to disappoint me.Like how he was suddenly started to act sweet and being so careful with me and then the next hours, he's back to being arrogant, and heartless devil that he is.It's starting to become a cycle and I don't want it to be a cycle.I don't want to spend my t
Natasha's POVValerian kissed me on my lips.It started so slow and gently just like earlier when he first kissed me.It's like he's savoring the moment. . . It's like he's savoring me by the way he kisses me.And because of what he was doing, I felt so much desire.I want Valerian.I'm craving for him.I feel like I am going to die if I don't get what I want and I hate feeling this way.It was like the day after we first met; when I was craving for him-- for his blood.His blood. . .I want his blood."Natasha. . ." Valerian pulled himself away from me as he winced when I bit his lips.I bit his lips so hard that I tasted a metallic taste on my tongue.It's his blood.Valerian's blood. . ."What was that Natasha?" Valerian spit his blood out of his mouth.I subconsciously whined.Valerian looked at me, amused by my reaction. "What?""Don't be wasting your blood!" I protested."You want my blood?"I nodded.I didn't know what suddenly came into me but I craved for his blood."I'm righ
Natasha's POVMy hand was left hanging when the door of my room opened before I could even touch the doorknob."Good morning," Valerian greeted me."Good morning," I greeted him back as I subtly took a step back because I realized that we were a little bit too close to each other and I was starting to get flustered.I want to scold myself for feeling this way around him lately but I literally can't do anything about it because my feelings are so stubborn.I guess I will just let myself feel what I feel instead of trying to make sense of it because I can't— I will just lose my mind."I have things to do in the office, you want to come?" Valerian asked.I nod. "I guess, I have nothing to do here except rot in your house all day."It's true, whenever Valerian works and I'm left alone at his house, I literally have nothing to do but wait for him to come home.I like the peacefulness and silence in his house but it gets boring and well... lonely.Unlike when I'm in his office, even if he h
Natasha's POVDays went by so fast that the next thing I knew, I was already packing for my and Valerian's trip to Greece.Actually, I don't know what to expect since it's Valerian's business trip, if you think about it, it's not really a vacation but I'm keeping my hopes up that I will still get to explore because Valerian told me that we are going to Santorini. I saw how beautiful Santorini is in the magazines and I can't deny that I've dreamed of going there-- and now, I can't believe it's going to happen. All because of the devil, Valerian Fenrir."Ooh, you should pack this pretty dress. It will be perfect for brunch in Santorini." Elyse handed me a white beautiful sundress. She's right, I feel like I'll be so beautiful walking around a pretty restaurant in the city.Elyse volunteered to help me pack the moment she learned that I was going with Valerian for a business trip.She was more than excited for me and Valerian.She's so so so excited that I asked her to come with us becau
Natasha's POVTime goes by so slowly when you're so excited about something but it didn't take long for Valerian to get ready and prepare everything.The next thing I know, we're already driving to the airport where his private jet is.I've never ridden or even seen an airplane personally in my whole life and I don't know what to expect except it will be luxurious since Valerian owns it and he just naturally screams luxury and old money.The moment we arrived at the airport, there were people who welcomed us. They attended to our luggage especially mine because I have two suitcases and travel bags with me.When Valerian saw my luggage, he didn't say anything. He knows that Elyse helped me pack and I'm assuming he already knew what to expect.We were escorted to a secluded area with a number of private jets around.I was in total awe when we entered the airport and I didn't think I could be more surprised."Valerian," I called. "Do you own all this?"I have no business asking Valerian'
