Nalia’s POV. In the PastI looked up at Tyrus, my vision beginning to go quite blurry with tears as I struggled to move back. He just looked down at me grinning and licking his lips in a way that made nausea run through me.I wanted to puke so badly but I feared that if I gave in to my urges and closed my eyes, he would pounce on me. Not like not closing my eyes kept him at bay but at least, I was able to see the bastard.“Tyrus, please don't do this. I'm begging you, just let me go, I'll make sure than I don't speak a word about this to anyone.”He tilted his head sideways and sneered. “Oh really?” His tone was light and teasing.“Yes. Please just let me go. You know that even if I were to tattle, no one would believe me.”“I know, which is what makes this all so enjoyable, Nalia. You don't know how it feels to have to maintain an image of being a upright and loyal person to the whole pack when I just want to ravage whoever I want to anytime I want.”Goddess, he was so disgusting.“
GIANNA“His name was Tyrus.” The way she said that Tyrus in a low murmur and then she began fidgeting and her eyes began darting back and forth, I knew something was wrong or that something went wrong back then.I wanted to tell her to stop but I couldn't as she had been firm about wanting to continue till the end. So the only thing I could do was grab her hand and hold it tight while rubbing circles on it. I hoped it told her that everything was in the past and that I was here.It seemed to work as she stopped moving so much and instead continued. “Like Blaire, I accepted Tyrus as a friend because the way the both of them played their affection, it seemed like they were so into each other. I even especially ignored the weird gazes that Tyrus would throw at me when he thought Blaire or I wasn't looking. I kept giving excuses for everything. I regret that so damn much.” She bit her lower lip and clenched her other hand into fists until they paled.I grabbed that one too and held it in
Nalia's POVI watched as Gia's eyes widened like saucers as I began narrating what happened between I and Blaire.Honestly, I didn't want to go into it as it made me feel so vulnerable but looking at the concern and love that Gianna had for me, It gave me a bit of strength to open up.I might have been telling Gia everything about those bad times like it barely affected me but it did. If I said that, I would be lying to myself. I still felt as much heartache, pain and sadness as I felt back then. It's just that I got better at hiding it all within myself.Plus I kept telling myself that it was all in the past and that the terrible memories could only haunt me like a phantom and not hurt me physically.Out of everything I had been telling Gia all through, this was by far the worst as it was the one that made me feel fear and helplessness more than I had ever felt.“So back then, Blaire also found that I didn't hold that much of a grudge against her when I openly defended her when some
GIANNAAfter eating, we didn't get back into the storytime but instead, we both freshened up yet again and then changed into pajamas - Nalia borrowed one of mine - and then settled into bed, snuggling under my warm and comfy blanket.I had noticed that time had gone by a lot while we were talking and now it was quite late into the night. Even with that, unless Nal told me by herself that she was tired, I was fine.“Okay. Let's get back into it. Where did I stop again?” Nalia said after she turned to her side and faced me on the bed.“You were about to tell me how the fight between you and Enzo changed.” I replied quite eager to get her to continue.“Oh, Yeah. I'll try to wrap everything up faster so we can go to bed as it's quite late. As I was saying, Blaire also came back on that day so she witnessed the fight.” Blaire started and my ears perked up as I listened attentively.“The fight was not what I expected at all as even though I got as prepared as I could, Enzo was still stronge
GIANNAAs soon as the door closed behind Anna, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. A bell like laughter from behind me startled me and I swiveled around only to see Nalia giggling hysterically as she clutched her stomach.I scowled at her. “It's not funny.”“It is. It's so freaking funny.” She said in between laughs. I just stood there arms crossed and glared at her with a “seriously” expression plastered on my face.After a while, she finally stopped laughing and instead just grinned foolishly at me. “You're somewhat of a celebrity Gia. She seems to take absolute pride in being associated with you.”She seemed to have seen through Anna's motives just like I had. Thank the heavens I didn't have to explain it to her.I frowned. “That Anna is way too calculating for my liking. My gut feeling was not wrong when it ruled her out especially after the whole Xavier thing.”She raised a brow looking curious. “Xavier thing?”Oh. I forgot that she didn't know about that. I explained to her how I
GIANNAA knock interrupted us just then and I groaned in annoyance while Nalia just chuckled. Who the fuck could it be? When it just got to the climax, they decide to spoil it. I wasn’t expecting any visitors, and if it was Enzo, he would have already spoken up by now.Since I didn't answer the first time, our unwanted guest didn't go away and instead kept knocking.“Enough. Stop knocking, I'm coming.” I said loudly as I crawled off the bed and walked towards the door. I opened the door only to see a beaming Anna at the other side.It took quite a lot for me not to scowl at her. Since when did she start coming up to my room? I don't want to sound entitled or anything but last I remembered, she was a volunteer maid who was in charge of serving food and cleaning. We could have been close, except for that weird vibe I got from her the last time. Like she was just being nice and friendly to me just to increase her standing in the pack, or maybe even to get close to Enzo.“Gia.”She sudden
