_Heyley’s POV_I paced outside the room, unsure if to go in our not.“Just go in to know if he is alright," Nafira urged me, rolling her eyes at me." That's not a good idea, he seemed really mad at me,” I argued, still pacing.How was I going to go in after cutting him? What explanation do I have to give him for cutting him up.“And cutting him was a good idea?" Nafira asked sarcastically, sounding as if I was stupid.“What else could I have done? I saw Anna heal– WE saw Anna heal and of course I had to check if he healed fast,” I tried to make meaning of my actions but I knew they didn't make any sense."There are other ways to check that. You could have done something else. But you cut him!” Nafira said.“Just go and find out how he js doing. Go!" She urged me.I was about to go when she reminded me about the first air Kit I came with.Having no choice, I push the door open, peeping in.Atlas sat on the bed, his bleeding had stopped but his hand was resting on his thigh.When the do
I watched as Atlas let out a breath, a million thoughts on his mind.He looked like he wanted to ask me a lot of questions so I waited patiently for him.“Did the evil princess know the other woman was her sister? Did she knew rhat she tried to kill the sister she loves so much and had sacrificed her life for once?" He asked, staring at me as he waited for an answer.“No," I answered without hesitation. He was about to speak but I didn't let him." But that doesn't make it any better though. She still did evil. Even if they were not related, it still doesn't justify all she did. For a while she was broken to see her sister and know she had done all this things to the very girl she once gave her life to protect. Though a part of her was resentful. Why? You may ask. Because she had sacrificed all that she could. While Neha lived the kind of life she wanted, she could only suffer. Neha had enjoyed everything that she wanted, the life, the family, love, everything! While she didn't get any
Next chapter.We both pull apart and I look away awkwardly.I was just about to kiss Atlas.My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I looked at him, waiting for him to pick the call.Atlas reaches over for his phone, picking it up. The call was from Bren and so he immediately picked the call.“Hey?" Atlas asked the moment he picked the call, wondering why Bren was calling him by this time.I could hear Bren speaking over the phone but I couldn't make out what he was saying.My curiosity is sparked as I watched as Atlas’ face darkened and he pushed off the bed.“I would be there right now," He said to Bren, hanging up.Atlas immediately picked his phones and keys, about to head out.“What's wrong? Did anything happen?" I asked him, leaving the bed too.I could tell that something had happened and I knew it was going to be because of the company.Is Gabriel causing trouble for them?I couldn't help but think that it was all because of me and I was making life difficult for Atlas.He was
Next chapterI get startled by Atlas’ suddenly arrival and I gasp lightly.My phone slipped from my hands and I tried helplessly to catch it but to no avail.It dropped to the floor, the sound of it crashing against the tiled floor loud. And I flinched.I hear Atlas walking to where I stood.With shaky hands, I bend to pick up yhe phone at the exact moment Atlas does.Our fingers brush as we both reach for the phone, but Atlas is able to pick ut up before I do.He takes my hands in his as we both stood to out feet, a frown on his face.“Have you been standing the entire time?" He asked me.I had indeed beem pacing in front of the door sinxe he walked in and he seemed like he was going to get angry if I told him the truth.I looked at the door he just walked out from and I looked back at him, unable to open my lips and talk.I couldn't lie to Him so I just had to tell the truth.I nodded my head slowly, waiting to see his reaction.His eyes darken and I gulped.“Why would you do that?
Next chapterI was in the car with Atlas, driving back home. His question still lingered in my mind and I turned to look at him.“What is it?" He asked me after a while, keeping his eyes on the road.I know he could feel my eyes on me.“It's nothing," I said, shaking my head. I turned my eyes away and looked at the road.I don't know why I had said yes to his question. I agreed without hesitation and I found thst unsettling.I couldn’t forget that I was supposed to be getting divorced after a few years of getting married.Atlas was only helping me get my revenge.I knew I was going to get attached to him if this continues this way, and what would happen after I get attached and Atlas still wants a divorce?I was about to say something when something catches my attention from behind.“Atlas thar car seemed to be going too fast," I said, talking about the car coming from behind us.”It spes up just now and if care wasn't taken it was going to ram into us.Atlas looked at the rearview mi
Next chapter.It had been hours since Gabriel had walked in, and it felt like every part of me was sore and bleeding. The cuts from the broken car glass plus the bite wounds I got from Gabriel stung badly and I let silent tears slide down my face.Each movement I made, made me want to cry out in pain.I cursed Gabriel in my mind, promising for revenge… i wouldn't let him go after this.I would destroy him and make him regret everything that he had done to me.I couldn't move an arm without it feeling like a thousand needles were pierced into it. I didn't want ro scream out in pain, I didn't want Gabriel have that satisfaction of hearing me anymore.“You know I can geal right? Let me heal you," My wolf suggested but I stopped her. I couldn't afford her healing me at such a time. I knew she was onky concerned about me, but that was only going to put me in more problems.“Why? You're hurting badly, you need to heal,” She argued, trying to make me see reasoning.I knew she was only conce
Atlas walked to me, closing the distance between us in rushed steps. “Atlas," I breathed, my ribs hurting. I felt relieved to see him, tears stinging my eyes. He pulled Gabriel off me, throwing him away. He immediately cuts the binds holding me, covering my body with his jacket. I shivered as I held the jacket tighter, my body quivering. I ignored the pain I felt when I brought the jacket closer, reveling in the joy of being in his embrace. I felt a sense of safety in his arms. “You'd be fine little witch, you can heal yourself," Atlas whispered to me, holding me against him. I paused when I heard what he said. Did I hear hun correctly? What does he mean I can heal myself? Does he know that I could heal myself? Does he know about my being a wolf?? My head snapped around to look at him, shock all over my face. How did he? I was about to ask what he meant when Gabriel yelled loudly. “I would make you both pay," he said. He wanted to turn around and run, but Atlas was quic
Next chapter. I opened my eyes slowly, taking in my surroundings. I was now at home on the bed and Atlas was nowhere to be found. I pushed up from the bed, expecting it to hurt but I was surprised when the pain didn't come. Huh? Moving my body around, I realized that I had been healed by my wolf. “Nafira, Why did you heal me?" I hissed at her angrily. I had specifically told her not to heal me yet. Now what would I tell Atlas after he discovers that I healed fast? What excuse do I have? To him, I was just a human. I wanted to heal naturally no matter how long it took or maybe have her heal me slowly on a daily, not to heal me all at once. “You would have died if I didn't. I didn't have a choice. Your body was hurt too badly and you had some internal bleeding, if I didn't then–” she started to explain but I cut her off. “Then they would have taken me to a hospital and I would have gotten treated. Why did you have to… “ " You would have died even before you got to the hospital,
