Natasha's POVWe have arrived at our town after hours of driving.It's been months since I've been here, it has been months since I last saw my parents, it has been months since the last time I was here, and in those times, Sayna was still alive.I thought it would be nostalgic being in here again but it does not feel like it. It feels different, it feels strange. And I know because my comfort is not here anymore.I thought of the city, of the people in there, of Elyse, of Valerian. . .Valerian. . .Hurt is an understatement to describe the pain that I'm feeling in my heart right now.I lost the most important person in my life and it feels like I'm going to lose someone that had become important to me, too.It hurts.It hurts so much I don't have any words to describe what I'm feeling.The heaviness that I felt in my heart was so hard to contain that my eyes would not stop tearing up.I lost Sayna.I lost Sayna and the reason for that loss is the man that I love.Is the man that I l
Third-Person Point of ViewAll Elyse could do was stare at Natasha's back as she ran away.Elyse tried to call out for her but Natasha was dedicated to not turning her back to look at her. She just continued to run until she was out of the mansion's gate.Elyse's eyes followed her as she watched her get in the car and drive off.Realizing that Natasha was gone, Elyse suddenly came back to reality.She quickly got her keys and went inside her car, deciding to follow the old red Chevy without thinking about anything.Elyse was more than willing to help Natasha because she strongly felt like her friend was in trouble even though Natasha would not tell her anything.She wanted to give as much help as she could and she thought if Natasha would not tell her what was wrong, she will going to find out about it herself. She can't just sit around and stand by knowing that her friend, Natasha might be in great danger. She knew that she would be in danger because of what she saw in her vision whe
Valerian's POVI am known to be ruthless.I am known to be a devil.Both by humans and vampires.I am often labeled as cold.As stern.As hard.I've lived hundreds of years in this lifetime and I already came to terms with that, that even I, myself believed that I am. I had to.But, upon hearing my sister's voicemails to me, I felt weak. Upon hearing that Natasha was crying and that my sister is also in danger in the middle of nowhere, I once again hated being immortal because the pain and worry that I feel felt like it could kill me but I could not be killed and it's the fucking worst. It's hell."Drive faster, Ezra," I ordered Ezra and he did so.I could see him gripping the steering wheel tightly as he drove my car, almost wanting to make it fly."Tell me what happened to Elyse, Valerian." He gritted his teeth.I fell silent.I had outlived my parents years ago. I saw my friends die. But there's nothing like the pain of losing my sister.I breathed sharply as memories of me and Ely
Third-Person Point of ViewAcanthus and his pack prepared everything— from weapons to their skills and strength— before they fled their town to go to war.Acanthus had prepared his whole pack for years and years, getting them ready to get his revenge on his mortal enemy, vampires— the Fenrir's specifically. And now he is ready.Acanthus firmly believes that he has the upper hand upon seeing how devastated Valerian Fenrir looked earlier staring at his daughter, Natasha.He believed that he could surely use that to win and kill Valerian Fenrir.When Acanthus sent his daughter to the city to kill Valerian Fenrir, he was overly confident that Natasha could kill Valerian because he trained her starting from the day that Natasha learned how to walk and he's also aware of Natasha's skills and strength but Acanthus was more than disappointed when instead of killing Valerian, Natasha fell in love with him. He thought that he had already done everything for them to stop being mates.And so he h
Third-Person Point of ViewAs the sun started to rise, more damage from the fight became visible.The fight may have already stopped but the damage it has left from the hearts of the ones that survived can never be forgotten."Valerian!" Victorio yelled at Valerian upon seeing him with Natasha on his arm.Victorio's heart hammered inside his chest as he quickly ran in their direction."Is she okay? What happened to her?" Victorio quickly asked as he kneeled down in front of Valerian who was sitting on the floor."She's fine, she just passed out," Valerian answered. "How about you? Are you alright?" he asked when he saw the blood scattered all around Victorio's clothes and face.Victorio nodded. "Ezra is fine too, I kept him safe.""Thank you," Valerian thanked Victorio.Valerian feels so bad for Ezra. He knows he's been hurting so much from losing Elyse as he is too. They share the same pain so he understands Ezra with all his heart."It's done," Victorio whispered upon seeing Acanthu
Natasha's POV5 years later. . ."Don't be scared. There's nothing to be scared of riding an airplane. You wouldn't even know we're up in the sky.""But, that's scary, Daddy!"I frowned as I glared at Valerian.I remember him telling me those exact words 5 years ago and me getting even more scared of the plane ride."Come here, baby. Mommy will hold you so you will not be scared anymore," I said as I grabbed my daughter from her father.My daughter pursed her lips. "But, I'm really scared, Mommy.""I know, I know, baby. But I'm here, Daddy is here too, we will protect you," I reassured her as I hugged her small body, fragile body."Darling, I think we should not force her, I can drive us to the place," Valerian chimed in.I shook my head. "The car drive will take over 10 hours, she will have a hard time."But, we should not force her, love," Valerian reasoned out."We are not forcing her, we're teaching her to be brave." I turned to my daughter. "Right, baby? You want to be brave, rig
Natasha's POV"I'm going to miss you!" Sayna, one of my friends in the pack said as she clung to my arms.I held her hand. "I know, me too."I'm going to miss everything here in this town. From the people up to the beautiful sunset and sunrise, my favorite."Promise me you're going to be careful there, okay?" she said, as if asking for assurance. She had already told me to be careful once I got there for the nth time already, but instead of getting annoyed with her for repeatedly reminding me that, I chose to understand.I know Sayna. She's the sweetest among all my friends and she's always looking out for us.I quickly nodded at her. "Of course, I promise I will. And, I'm sure I'll be back, so you should not worry too much."She heaved a sigh. "Why can't we come with you? Why can't I come with you?"I laughed lowly at her words. Sayna's been nagging about coming with me ever since she found out about me leaving the town to go to the city to do something."I want to explore the city t
Natasha's POV"Good evening, madame."I smiled at the man who greeted me. "Good evening," I greeted him back."Your invitation please." He offered his palm, waiting for me to give him the invitation that he was asking.I repeatedly cursed inside my head.I don't have any invitation because I'm not invited to this party. It's my first time being at this kind of event in my entire life and I have no idea that this is how it works. All I know is that I need to wear a long sexy dress that exposes half of the skin on my body and a red mask that covers half of my face, and I'm glad I did that, but the invitation. . .I smiled at the man in front of me. He's a big man and looks scary, but at the same time has a gentle aura and smiles back at me.I removed my mask so I could look at him and he could see my eyes clearly."You are very beautiful, madame," he said.I smiled at his words genuinely because I truly feel beautiful right now. I am wearing make-up-- a thing that I haven't done in my l
