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
Natasha's POV"Tell me, Natasha." He stares deep into my eyes. He then smiled mischievously. "What is your secret?"Sh*t.I was taken aback by his words but I quickly put on a smiley face and think of anything to say.Why is he asking me that kind of question?"Am I that obvious?" I chuckled. "Well, maybe I am."The corner of his lips rose and formed into a smirk but he didn't say anything."I was admiring you from afar for a long time now," I added which is half the truth.I just have no idea what he looks like but I know him too much.I knew him ever since I was a little because my father would always tell me things about him and how cruel he is. And, ever since I was a kid, a responsibility fell upon my shoulder and that is to kill him."How is that I only saw you tonight?" he asked.The sound of his voice always sent shivers down my spine but I tried so hard to compose myself and never lose focus."Well, maybe I'm good at hiding," I answered smiling at him.When I left my town and
Natasha's POVThe rays of sun cursing through the windows and hitting my face woke me up.I rubbed my eyes as I opened them.It's already morning and the sun already set high. I also turned back into my normal form. I turned back into being a human again after turning into a werewolf last night because Valerian Fenrir provoked me.I sighed as I got up from my bed. The ring that mom gave me is on my bedside table so I quickly grabbed it and put it back on. I can't lose it because it's one of the important things that I have right now. We turn into a werewolf every full moon and we have no control over it unless it's just an ordinary night so I really need this ring because I can't turn into a werewolf especially because I'm in the city. I'm just lucky no one saw me last night.My gaze fell on the door when I remembered something.I didn't kill Valerian Fenrir. . .My father will be so disappointed with me.Sh*t. No. . .But, why did my father hide the truth from me? Why didn't he infor
Natasha's POVI woke up in the middle of the night thirsty.So thirsty.I quickly got up from my bed and went to the small kitchen of the apartment I'm renting and opened the refrigerator to get water.I didn't bother grabbing a glass from the cupboard anymore and just directly drink from the bottle.I had a hard time catching my breath after finishing all the water in the big bottle.The water is so cold and refreshing but I don't understand why I'm still thirsty.Beads of sweat started to form in my forehead and neck."Ugh, f*ck!" I groaned as I deeply closed my eyes.Now, I'm not only thirsty- I'm so hungry. So hungry and thirsty like as if I was deprived of food and water for months.What is happening to me?I peaked at the window to see the moon but it's not a full moon tonight. I also don't feel the urge to turn into a werewolf.I don't understand what is happening.My stomach is not growling and it doesn't hurt but I am so hungry.And now my throat feels like it's as dry as the
Natasha's POVThe feeling of a hot breath touched the skin in my neck woke me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes and I flinched when I saw Valerian leaning on me with his eyes staring deep into my soul."W-what are you doing?" I stuttered as I moved away from him.I don't want to be scared of him or even show signs of weakness but the way he's staring at me makes my knees wobble. He makes me nervous and I don't know if it's because of his aura or the way he looks at me or both. He's just really intimidating.I just woke up and yet he managed to make my heartbeat erratic.Everything about him screams danger in an unexplainable way."Are you hungry?" he asked as he stood up straight and put his hand inside his pocket.I studied him and noticed that he was wearing formal office attire except his coat.I shook my head.I don't know what time is it already but I can see the rays of the sun shining through the window. And surprisingly, I'm not hungry. I don't feel any hunger or thirst-- the
Natasha's POVI heard several knocks on the door before it opened.Elyse entered the room, which made me crease my forehead.What is she doing here?I mean, wasn't she mad at me? She was glaring at me and all earlier, and I have no idea why.Well, it's because I choked her-- I got to give her that. But she provoked me! She wanted to kill me, and I wouldn't just stand there and wait for her to do it. She wants to end my life because she's threatened that I am in their territory-- her brother's lair, and I got to protect myself, but I got out of control. And if it wasn't for the arrival of Valerian- I don't want to think about the possible things that I might do to her.I watched Elyse as she sat on the seat in the corner of the room.I wonder what she and Valerian talked about when they left the room.Not to be nosy or anything but was it about me?"I'm sorry for what happened," she apologized.I automatically looked at her.She's sorry? For what? I was the one who did something to her
