Natasha's POV“Hey! How are you feeling? Should I call Luke!” Ryan asked as he checked my body worriedly.“I…what happened?” I asked as he helped me rest my back on the bed.“Hey look at me.” He brought his face closer to my head.“Do you feel any pain at all,are you sure you are good…forget it I'm calling Luke!” He stood up and I held his arm.His eyes landed on my hand before looking at me,my throat burned when I tried to talk and I swallowed my saliva.“Don't leave.” I clung onto him.“I just want to call Luke, I'm not leaving.” He sat on the bed.I moved closer to him and wrapped my hands around his waist tightly,he stiffened for a while when he heard my son's he then pulled me closer.“I thought ….i…wouldn't be able to see you again Ryan.” I said amidst sobbing.“It felt.. like hell being separated from you…I .. tried escaping…but …I was weak..all this happened because I was weak!”“Hey!” He lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You aren't weak, you are the strongest woman I ha
Meeting Mother.Natasha's POVThe scenery that surrounded me was peaceful,my eyes roamed around the beautiful garden,the waterfall and the beautiful animal.I walked to the water body to check my reflection and I was surprised at what I saw. My skin was glowing and I was in a white flower dress. I heard footsteps and I turned around to see who was approaching.“Who are you?” It was a woman and I think we share a resemblance.She was also in a white flower dress but hers were longer than mine.Taking a deep closer at her she looked exactly like me. It was just that she was older and her hair was silver while mine was deep black.“Do you like what you see?” She ignored my question.My eyes followed her movement as she went to one of the trees,she stretched her hands and a fruit fell on her hands on its own.“Here.” She stretched her hand for me to take it from her.I eyed the fruit suspiciously contemplating if it was poisoned or not.“It's not poisoned.” She chuckled and I blinked.Did s
SubconsciousRyan's POVThe fury I was keeping in check to slay Gabriel dissolved when I saw Irene's clothes that was stained with blood. I couldn't blame her for killing him the way he treated her was to be blamed. I made sure Gabriel's head was separated from his body so there would be no chance of survival, although I didn't get the satisfaction of watching him suffer but the fact that he was no more and he posed no threat to my family anymore was enough assurance.“Where is she?” I asked Connor immediately when I got down from the car.“Luke is attending to her,she hasn't gained consciousness.” He answered and followed me from behind.“Take Irene to the pack hospital and let a psychiatrist attend to her.” I stopped walking and told him.“Okay.”“What about Elsa? Is she good?” I asked him before he turned around.I don't know if Elsa needed medical attention but it would be best if she gets a check up.“Elsa is good,she is with Lisa inside.” He answered.I left Connor to do his thi
Gabriel's POV I sped through the forest hastily, taking every shortcut to get out of the pack so noone won't catch up with me. I failed again! I paused on my track when I heard the howling of wolves.I sniffed through the air to check if it was rogues or Ryan's me.It appeared to be Ryan's men from the decent,I shifted back in my human form moving around in my wolf form would be too dangerous and they would catch up with me since my wolf was big and they will be able to spot me easily. I moved carefully and hid at the back of the tree when I spotted two brown wolves,one was bigger than the other. I looked around carefully to see if they were just the only two for now. I slowly brought out the silver pocket knife I had kept with me,I glanced around calculating the velocity that would take me to slit the two wolves' throats before they could make a sound. Without thinking much,I sped like the speed of light caught them unaware before slitting their throat. They shifted back into the
Ryan's POVI should have known that Gabriel was cunning and smart,I should have pointed out that he would creep in the silver claw pack. He has nowhere to go before no one to shield him.I stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed limit, Irene was In Front next to me as she described the route I should take. According to the painting that Elsa drew, Irene said the house was part of Gabriel's secluded area in the pack and there were rumors that it belonged to his mother but I didn't care about that. All I wanted was to get my mate back safely.“Stay in the car with her.” I told Irene as I dropped off.Elsa was unconscious and according to her she had drained all her energy in creating the spell and it would take weeks for her to recover so I had to go alone.“Please be safe!” Irene called as I walked away.As I took some steps forward,I perceived an aura,I wasn't sure if it belonged to Gabriel. I took my phone and sent instructions to Connor to order my men stationed in the pa
He is here.Ryan's POVA harsh knock on the door woke me up from my nightmare,I sprang up from the bed, my whole body soaked in sweat. It was a terrible dream, one I hoped wouldn't happen. In the dream Tasha was dead and I didn't find her alive. I found her dead body.“It's time.” Elsa Informed when I opened the door.“I'll be there.” I shut the door, went to the bathroom, washed my face,and the water relaxed my nerves.After that I joined them in the basement, Elsa's hair was now tied up making me discern her features properly. She had a striking resemblance with Tasha but I waved the Institution off.Irene sat in a corner as she watched Elsa draw some lines and arrange some pages of books around the line.I went over to Irene's side and sat on the floor and watched since there wasn't anything I could do to help at the moment.“Whatever you do, don't distract me or try to wake me up.” She said in a serious tone, before turning her back on us.Elsa took Gabriel's jacket,sat down with h
