They walked back to the house. Their walk back was quiet but then it was somehow not the same comfort she had had the first time she and he had had when she had just made two weeks at the pack house.“Do you have your hearing aids on?” he asked her as he entered into the room after his shower.Jacqueline had allowed her to get back home if she had drunk enough water and was eating enough fiber too.Coming back Xavier had carried her and she felt like she was a child but she knew from his facial expression that something bugged his feelings and just maybe she was going to receive the explanations if she asked.“Yes I do have them on” she replied as she signed not wanting to let him know that she had began her speech therapy and was getting better at it.“What exactly did the moon goddess tell you Nathalia?” he asked as he knew she had not told them everything back there.Ultimately he knew what could make her nervous and feel like the world was not a friend of hers but still.“Well, sh
Gasping she sat up super fast that she had a nose bleed and began to cough out some gold like stuff which somehow turned to blood when out of her mouth.Xavier instantly was by her side as his hands immediately found a space on her back as he began to massage her and then holding a glass of water out for her to take a drink.When she took a drink eventually she stopped coughing out the gold like stuff and now the blood was coming out but then stopped too.Groaning she slept on her back as she took her hands up and began to wipe her eyes and then she rolled her eyes to the side and saw Xavier seated there on a chair just looking at her having a worried expression plastered on his face.She looked back and forth and finally came to the conclusion she was at the pack hospital yet again and if she could give the room a name she would say it was her second home because she seemed to visit it quite often than not.She frowned as she looked at Xavier confused.“I can’t find anything wrong wi
A light breeze brushed through her body, waking her. She glanced up and saw her father in the middle of a lovely garden, the kind she had always promised him she would have when she was eighteen, a place where she could sit and reflect on her life.The grass was dotted with the greenest of bushes, and she adored the way all the other flower bushes were trimmed and shaved. Flowers were blooming, and they were all in vibrant colours.She slowly followed the butterflies that were floating past her side in all their beauty as she got up from where she had been sitting.Since it was a brand-new location, she had never been before; perhaps her father had done it.Was she dreaming?Touching her jaws in the hopes that she would not wake up from this dream, she forced herself to walk through the soft grass and headed for a stony path.Curiously, she started walking along the path, admiring the beautiful lilies and daffodils her father had undoubtedly provided for her because she had always enj
Nathalia was certain she could remember how letters sounded, and hearing Jacqueline encourage her after she spoke boosted her confidence even further.Opening her mouth, she attempted to say the letters and even form some words; she stuttered a little, but after a few attempts, she was successful, grinning when she noticed Jacqueline grinning back with a happy smile at what she had just said."Very good, Nathalia, you are doing absolutely great, and I promise you that if you continue in this manner, you will go a long way," she said, placing a letter card beside the pile of ones Nathalia had already read out.Nathalia nodded confidently; who knew she would one day be seated in front of another, smiling and receiving compliments for what she was doing? All of this was new to her, and she wished she could stick with it forever because she was still convinced Derrick was out there looking for her.Perhaps she thought that if she could wear the new hearing aid and use her words, she would
Jacqueline grinned as she approached Nathalia at the pack hospital reception and said, "Good morning, Nathie."She smiled and said, "Good morning, Jacqueline," or more accurately, she signed back.As she could swear she had just seen Nathalia's real smile, or a better version of her face, she said with pleasure, hoping her stay at the pack had been beneficial. "From the smile and look on your face you seem to be in a better mood.""I am doing fine, Jacky. How are you?" She asked again, her smile still visible as she turned to face the doctor."How is Xavier doing?" she enquired. "I am really great.""He is fine, I think, or at least mostly," she said."Oh! "Why guess?""Well, he is busy with some pack duties," she said with a smile."Since you are here, can we do your checkup?""That sounds good." I was thinking maybe I could try some new hearing aids and learn how to talk; not that these do not help, but I have pain in my ears," she said, pointing to the hearing aids she was given wh
“Okay” she responded as she looked at him deep into his eyes and somehow she saw that he was having now another eye flip but not the silver to bluish, almost like she was seeing a need in his eyes like he wanted to lay her down on the bed and then make her feel happy. She guessed that was what should have been done the day she had been marked.“Xavier?” she called out making him pull back abruptly trying to control himself.“I am sorry sometimes Mathias just has his ways of doing things and just right now you got to meet Mathias who had come out to have a kiss at you at his will” he explained.She looked at him nervously not really knowing what to say at this point as it showed that he not only like her but his wolf also had fallen in love with her and she could only say thanks to the Goddess for this.“Hello Mathias” she finally said as she bit her lip.Mathias lost his growl as he growled now a little harder which sent vibrations through her body and gave her a grin before Xavier’s
