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 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 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 POVIt's been three days.For three days I've been locked inside my room. I don't want to go out because I don't think I can face Valerian after what he did.Also, three days that I haven't eaten anything.After what happened-- after Valerian let go of me, I managed to move and I quickly ran up to my room.I didn't shut down or anything, it's just that I don't know what I'm feeling after that. I can't process shit for days. And all thanks to Valerian Fenrir.I always hear him leave at day and go to his work-- I think-- and I actually have the chance to leave whenever he's not home but I know I can't and I know I shouldn't.Again and again, I can't go home until I succeed with my plan. Also, one of the reasons is that Valerian told me that we will hunt me and I know he surely will. I don't want to put my family and friends in danger.I got to get out of this mess the other way.I buried my face in the pillow and let out a groan.Except for the fact that I haven't eaten anythi

Natasha's POVI cleared my throat as I looked at Valerian."Why can't I go with Elyse?" I can't help but ask.He said we have something important to do but I don't remember agreeing into doing something with him. And the last time I checked, we didn't talk after what happened."And what is that important thing are we doing?" I added.Valerian looked at me straight into my eyes and I have to avert my gaze and avoid his intense stare."You can't go out looking like that," Valerian spoke.I creased my forehead at him."Looking like what?"Valerian gazed at me from head to toe. "Men are going to gawk at you.""What?""Oh, Natasha. You're not stupid."I looked at him unbelievably. "What is your problem?"Valerian's eyes darkened as his jaw tensed. "I don't want people looking at what is mine."I was taken aback by what he said.Fucking Valerian Fenrir.I drew a deep breath. "What is yours? You-- you don't own me, Valerian."Amusement struck Valerian's face as he let out a low chuckle."Rea
