Natasha's POV"I didn't know you drive," I commented as I stared at Valerian's strong arm and hand gripping the steering wheel.I roamed my eyes inside his car.I just know this is one hell of an expensive car by the looks of it.It looks so classy and beautiful, although I can't see everything since I'm in the shotgun seat with a seatbelt on, and the moves I can make are limited."Why won't you just use your speed to go to places that you want? Gasoline is expensive," I remarked.Valerian just remained silent, and his eyes stayed focused on the road with his forehead slightly creased.Why is he so serious?Instead of bugging him, I just closed my mouth and remained seated neatly in my seat.He let me out, and if I did something that might piss him off, he would change his mind, and worse, he would do something terrible to me. It's true that he needs me too, but it's Valerian Fenrir that we're talking about here. He's vicious and cannot be trusted.I should always be careful.My eyes
Natasha's POVAfter running in circles for a couple of minutes, I finally found the exit of Valerian's company. And I was right; the building is so big that my feet started to hurt already from all the walking and running that I did.Now that I'm finally outside, with all the noise of cars in the street and people walking on the sidewalk, I don't know where to go.I'm new here in the city, and I didn't get a chance to explore, so now, I'm as lost as a newborn child."Hi, can I ask?" I approached a woman walking in front of me, and she stopped in her tracks, nodding at me."Where do you think I can find--" I trailed off, unable to finish what was I'm saying, when I realized that I shouldn't talk to people because Valerian might use it to find me so quickly if I interacted with humans. I have to be careful."Never mind, I got it." I smiled at her before I turned my back on her.I'm in downtown right now, and I know it should be easy to find what I am looking for here.I started walking,
Natasha's POVI woke up earlier today just like what I planned to do.I'm used to waking up in the wee hours so this is not a problem for me.With extra caution, I went out of my room and went downstairs.From what I know, vampires don't sleep but I hope Valerian is in his room right now so I could freely do what I need to do.The whole house is so quiet when I walked across the living room to the kitchen. It's so cold and peaceful but it's almost eerie. All the old paintings hanging on the wall are pretty but the view of it is adding to the spooky ambiance, but I'm more scared by the fact that I live with a vampire. A dangerous one.The moment I was inside the kitchen, I quickly started doing what I need to do. I opened the cupboards and grabbed everything I will need in cooking. Every pot, ingredients, and spice.I carefully started cutting ingredients as I enjoy the peacefulness in Valerian's kitchen.Having to experience this kind of feeling after everything that happened is such
Natasha's POV"Tell me, Natasha." I took a step back scared of Valerian coming close to me.Our eyes met.His eyes are as sharp as a dagger and it's enough to make me tremble in my spot."Why do you want to kill me so bad?" he asked.His voice came out cold and bitter like as if he just got betrayed.Like as if I just betrayed him. . .I swallowed hard.I was already so scared but hearing the way he talks right now, I'm more than terrified."D-don't come near me." I managed to voice out my thoughts with a shaking voice.But saying those words have no use. It was just like a cue for Valerian to come closer."N-no," I stuttered as my palms touched his chest to stop him from coming closer.I know he's going to choke me again and I don't want that. I don't want to feel that anymore. Feeling helpless is the least of things I want right now."P-please," I begged.I am so dumb. I know he's a powerful vampire and yet I let my stupidity get over me.I should've thought this through. I should'v
Natasha's POVThe loud sound of things breaking woke me up from my deep slumber.I automatically sat down in my bed making myself alert in case something terrible is happening or about to happen."I should be used to unusual things happening," I whispered to myself."I'm living with a vampire after all," I added as I shook my head.A loud bang suddenly filled the silent night.Shit.What is happening?I quickly stood up and went to the door.The noise is coming downstairs and I have to find out what's causing it.I slowly opened the door and carefully went out of my room.I have to be very careful because danger might be just lurking around. And when I say danger, I meant Valerian Fenrir, the devil himself.I felt shivers the moment my foot hit the coldness of the stairs but I tried to ignore it and carefully went down.The light coming from the half moon is cursing through the windows but it's not enough because it's still so dark downstairs and I can barely see anything clearly.Cur
Natasha's POV'I own you'Valerian's words keep on playing and playing inside my mind like a boomerang.Non-stop.I slightly gasped when Valerian started tracing my collarbone with his fingers.I hate that the shivers he is giving me with his touch feel good in some way.It feels so good that I want to slap myself for feeling this way."Valerian--" I gasped when he suddenly replaced his fingers with his lips.I can feel his hot breath on my skin as he planted soft and most kisses all over my collarbone.Shit.I could just throw my head back as I feel the sensation of what he is doing to me."U-ugh--" I gripped the bedsheets when Valerian softly suck the skin in my collarbone."You like that, huh?" he whispered.I want to deny it. I want to tell him that I don't like it and I despise him but my body is just betraying me right now.These feelings-- sensations are all foreign to me and I didn't know that they feel so good.So fucking good."You like it, Natasha?" Valerian repeated.I lis
Natasha's POVWe're sitting in this beautiful resto inside the mall having breakfast but I can't help but think about what Elyse saw when she hold my hand.As she said, it wasn't clear but it is still something and I really wonder what is it. It can be something interesting or something about me-- something important.I need to know what is it but I don't know how to ask Elyse because she already dismissed the topic and I don't want to bug her because we were just getting along just now and we might end up trying to kill each other again if ever.Now that I think about it, if I were to stay with Valerian or in his lair, I need an ally, or at least just someone I can run to if things get ugly.I mean, of course, I can't say that I can trust Elyse for now since we don't know each other that much yet and he's Valerian's sister but she can be that someone.She might give off rich bitchy vibes but she's nice after all. We just happened to meet in the wrong situation and scenario. I think I
Natasha's POV"I'm not going to go inside and greet my brother anymore, it's already getting really late," Elyse said.I just nodded at her.Just like what Elyse said, it's already getting late. When I thought we were going home after shopping for clothes, I was wrong. Elyse would drag me to another boutique and another and another that I lost count of how many boutiques we went to anymore. We would also go to different expensive shops and restaurants that we didn't notice the time.It was already dark outside when we went out of the mall.We were both so tired after but I can say that it was worth it. It's the first time I did something like what we did back in the mall, and I really enjoyed Elyse's company, and I'm confident to say that she enjoyed my company too. She may be didn't tell me directly and verbally- she showed me; which is far better than saying it.It's like I have a new best friend of all of a sudden. It's like she's a replacement for Sayna while I'm here.If only I'
