"I still don't get why he had to come here." Andrew speaks with a high amount of disbelief and suspicion in his voice. It's clear that he doesn't like Nathan at all.
Nathan, who sits beside Shelia apparently hears him and tilts the side of his face to Andrew's direction. "I came because my mate asked me to."
The way he emphasises on 'my mate' is very odd. I can assume that he doesn't trust Andrew too. It also shows on his actions. Every once in a while, I see him looking my way through the corner of his eyes. He is accessing my relationship and closeness with Andrew.
After Nathan told me that Shelia is cursed, I managed to convince him to come with me. Even though he is not sure about it and it's just an assumption, I am still shocked and scared.
With my whole heart, I am hoping that it isn't true, that it is just a lie. A big lie, a joke. Just a joke, yeah.
Since we arrived here, Nathan hasn't let his guard drop. It's not like it was down before.<
"How did you know that?" My question falls into his deaf ears. He is ignoring me for no reason at all. After what he just said, I am puzzled on how he knows that. He refuses to talk, all he does is stare at me with a strange look in his eyes. At that moment, I forget that what he said and I fall into his dark abyss. It's almost too late when I find a way to look away, pulling myself out at the same time. Something in my head tells me that is his power, at least, one of them but I don't even know what happened. "You said that my plan is to seduce you, Nathan." I look down, biting my lips in thought. I don't know what brings about the action. "How did you know that? Is it one of your powers?" For some odd reason, I am been timid and gentle. It shocks and annoys me at the same time. I shouldn't be looking at my feet like a scared cat, I should be staring him on even if he is a god. The harder I try to raise my head up, the harder it is fo
I turn my attention to my food for a while before I look back at him. "Did you cook this?"As I open the plate covers what stares back at me is a lot of delicious food. My nose is pretty good in sniffing out things since I am a werewolf so I am able to know how delicious it is..."Yeah. I had a little help from Jasmine because I wanted to make it worth while."I frown. "Wanted? Sounds like it's not your objective anymore.""I still want to but it's your choice to taste it." He gestures to the food, waiting for me to take a bite and I slowly look down at the several plates full of cool dishes."If I eat this, will you help Shelia? I know that I am asking a lot of things from you right now but she really needs help."Help from this curse you sensed.Slowly, I cross my fingers under the table.Please don't tell me that the character he was portraying in the time he sensed that was the one of someone who lies. Please don't or I mig
The day that we planned to leave comes and I try to focus on packing my clothes in a bag even though I can feel the warmth of Nathan behind me.Nathan feels that it is irrelevant to pack but I am thinking ahead. I may have to stay in Andrew's house for more than what we planned and I will like to be prepared because I doubt that Nathan would like to see me putting on Andrew's clothes.I glance at Nathan and see him glancing at the house with a thoughtful look. It turns out that he is a neat freak, when I first saw him cleaning the house I was shocked but I guess that this is one of the attributes of the 'real' him."Is there anything I need to know before we go?" I ask him when we begin to walk out of the house.He glances my way then he looks straight ahead. "Don't get close to the forest and don't run away."I don't know if he is joking or not but I can't stop myself from rolling my eyes. Tell me something that I don't know. "I mean, things I nee
I can hear the blood rushing through my ears as I shake his body, waiting for a sign that he is okay. I see that he is still breathing, his chest is moving steadily so it leads me to believe that he is only unconscious, nothing else.But still, I don't know what is going on with him. He was fine when we came back, so what went wrong. Did the curse get him, is it killing him slowly right now? Is he going to die.My wolf whines in my head, reprimanding me for thinking like that. Even though she doesn't speak I am able to know that she is anxious about this situation too.Not knowing what else to do, I decide to take him to his room. It takes a while before I can get him there, to be honest, I don't really know where his room is. I just follow my nose and track the place that his scent is more intense.My anxiety slowly fades away when I remember who he is. A god. And he won't let this flimsy curse end him, right? No, he can't or I'll torture him."Is
I yawn loudly as I snuggle closer to my pillow. It's so warm and comfortable, it's actually better than the one in my room in the castle."Are you awake?"I hum and snuggle into the warmth. My pillow is extraordinary, it just spoke...Wait! It just spoke?My eyes open in an instant and I find myself staring into yellow eyes... It blinks for a second and turns to back to its dark colour."Ahh!!" I scramble out of the bed as fast as I can. My heart is beating widely in my chest as I stare at the half naked man in front of me.He tilts his head as he stares into my eyes and exhales. "I guess that answers my question.""What are you doing here..." I narrow my eyes as I pause. "In my room?"I watch him as he stands to his feet. His back is a bit more muscular than his chest, I can't take my eyes away from him."Don't ask me, I don't know. I woke up and saw you in my bed.""In your bed?" I mumble under my breath as a frow
After the kiss, I stay clear from Nathan for a while. My cheeks seems to be stained red permanently. It's a bit annoying how he affects me this much and frustrating that I like it. My mind is a mess and he is the cause of it. I think this is how it feels to have a mate.When his hands left my body the only thing I thought about was to run into the kitchen. Here he won't dare touch me...Yeah, this is where we cook food so he won't try to kiss me. Why am I panicking again?"Are you alright?" He speaks from behind, startling me to my senses."Sure, sure." I laugh out nervously and hurry out of the kitchen. "Just don't come near you.""Come near you? Is there a problem?"'Damn it, Isabella. Calm yourself and shut your big mouth up.' My wolf growls in my head. It's been a long time since she talked to me so I become a bit surprised.Not minding the fact that I don't like her tone, I take her advice. "It's nothing. Do you need anything? An
I tap my fingers on the table as I watch her work in the kitchen. It looks like she is super aware of my piercing eyes."Do you... have any special dishes I can do for you?" She asks, looking nervous.I shake my head. "No, just make whatever you want. I'll eat it.""Do you have any allergies?""No.""What about a diet plan?""Not in a million years. Like I said, you can make what you want.""Ooh." She looks down at her feet. "The thing is that I don't eat food that much so I hardly cook at home."I take a long look at her. "You look like you eat a banquet everyday."She makes a small sound as her face covered with a horrified look. I quickly rush to explain myself."It's not like I am saying that you are fat or anything because you aren't. You just look healthy, that's what I meant."She keeps mute and goes back to her cooking while I continue to look at her. After a few minutes, her hands stop moving and s
Jasmine wasn't kidding when she told me that she wouldn't take me to the café again. The next day, we head to another shop instead, an icecream shop to be precise.All the while, everywhere I turn I see little kids smiling and jumping with glee when they lay their eyes on the icecream of their choice.My eyes are immediately attracted to the little girl who asked for a chocolate flavoured icecream a few minutes back. In a way, she reminds me of Shelia.Speaking about that, I haven't had the chance to visit again. Even though it's been a few days, I wonder how they are doing."Hey mama, do you want some of my icecream. It's really good."Beside the little girl is a young woman, apparently her mother."You know that I don't like sweets. Why don't we buy one for daddy too.""Yea!"The young mother ruffles her daughter's hair in response."You're looking a bit in the moment." Jasmine's voice comes from behind, startli
