We lay in each other hand through the night, it was the best night ever since the incident that happened a year ago. I was the first to wake up, I saw him sleeping beside me, I noticed that the sun rays is coming through the window and it might wake him up, so I decided to stand up and cover the windows, but he held me.
Where are you going? He asked with his eyes closed.
I only wanted to close the window.
Let it be, just remain in my arms, I only want to breathe the same air with you.
Is my breath nice? I asked he batted his eyes and pulled me closer, then he inhale me deeply, I was wondering what he was doing, I didn't push him away, I let him bury his face in my cloak.
Why is your scent stronger? He asked, I pulled from him and look at him.
What are you saying? He stared at me, then caresses my face.
You don't have to worry, it's a nice smell, a smell that I want to inhale all the days of my life.
Does it mean that you will never leave me?
Oh my wifey, why should I leave you again when you are my breath? You should know you are my everything, the reason I want to live, the reason I long for this life that I detested, when you come into my life, I wanted nothing more, but just you, you are the stubborn girl that catches my heart, the one girl that could invade my thoughts and dream, the one girl I want to torture everyone that hurt her.
When he said tortured, I raised my head and look at him, I wanted to ask him if the rumor about what he did to Damien was true, and he nodded to me, I blushed as my mind wonder to Leonid and Kira, Damien didn't hurt me that much, in fact, he only made advances at me, but Leonid he had to deprive me of food, water and had treated me like a slave.
Oh, dear wifey, you should stop worrying about Kira and Leonid, I am going to get them, I will make them pay for what they did to you.
Are you going to get into another fight with Leonid? The fear on my face is visible, I don't want that incident to repeat itself, I am scared, scared that this time I might die, scared about the prophecy that Jason talk about, I don't want that, I didn't know when my tears fall, I grabbed his hand.
Please don't leave me, I beg you, don't fight with him, I don't want you to get hurt, let's just live peacefully, let's go far away.
Do you think that Leonid wouldn't come back? If he ever found out that I am back, he will return to take the post of the alpha, up on till he is free, he will always want the throne.
Then let him have it. Stefan look at me, and our eyes meet, his eyes were filled with pain, anger, and betrayal, those were the things his brother had made him go through, he had hurt Stefan and me but I and Stefan are different, I had already let it go but Stefan doesn't think Leonid shouldn't be punishment.
I wish I could, no one wants to live a peaceful life more than I wanted, but I can't, so many people are hurting, Leonid leaves the pack in pain, pains that every pack members fear for their safety.
Stefan is right, the pack members need a good alpha they have suffered a lot, asking Stefan to leave with him, is acting selfish, yet I want to keep him safe, I don't want to be separated from him, is like he senses my worried, Stefan raised his hand and caresses my face.
You have nothing to worry about, I have people I could trust, Jason, Sky and...
Rex! He looked at me, he could see the uneasiness that filled my eyes with the mere mention of Rex's name.
Rex is a good person, you have nothing to worry about him, although he is easily manipulated.
Oh! That was the only word I said, he grabbed my hand.
I will be fine, I have no intention of leaving you again, all I need for you is to endure with me.
Are you sure you are not going to... I paused, for the past week I noticed that he had been apologizing to me and feeling guilty, I don't want him to feel guilty. Don't worry I will wait and endure till everything is perfect.
Thanks love, I will be off for a week, I will send Sky to be with you.
You don't have to, I can take care of myself.
Fine but don't ever leave without anyone.
Yes sir! He pressed his lips on my forehead, and we have breakfast together, before he left me, I decided to go to the garden, sitting in the garden, I was enjoying the fresh air when I noticed someone is behind me. Who are you?
It's me, Hazel. Her face grinned with that wicked smile of hers, something in me always see through her, her presence always cause uneasiness around me.
What do you want? I asked, she frown but she put up a facade that Is difficult to read.
Is that how you welcome your guest?
You should stop, you and I know that you don't like me.
Good then, since you know that I don't like you, there is no need to pretend because I don't like you. She moves closer to me, I move backward. Did you know that I hate you? She asked with gritted teeth, her eyes darkened. I don't like you because you are my worse nightmare, you are the reason Stefan couldn't claim me as his mate.
But you are not Stefan's mate. For the first time, I was bold yet again, I don't think that was me speaking, she glared at me and move closer, and she frown after inhaling me.
Stop acting as if I smell bad. I have no idea why her face look disgusted after inhaling me and Stefan had said something about a smell earlier, I don't know if it's bad because I can't smell it.
Of cause, it's bad, and I hate it, I detested that smell, it makes me want to end your life here and right now before it's become too obvious and he starts noticing it.
What are you saying?
What I am saying is, I am not a murderer and I have never murdered any innocent soul.
At least she spoke the truth, you are innocent. That voice is in my head, what is wrong with me?
Now come with me. Hazel said grabbing my hands.
Let me go, I don't want to come with you.
You don't have the right to decide, I need to give you to someone, that someone asked for you.
When Hazel said that, I knew I was in bigger trouble, Hazel is probably here to take me away, so I try to fight her off.
I don't want to leave, and I don't want to be separated from my Stefan again, but my power was no match for her, I am not talking about physical strength, she uses spells on me, and then I was almost passed out immediately, it's like that scent I had inhaled from those wolves in her pack that wanted to rape me, two years back.
That very minute, I was subconscious, I wasn't fully aware of my surroundings but I could still feel Hazel's grip on me, Hazel pulled my hand as she dragged me through the wood, and after some time, I passed out completely, I couldn't fight her anymore.
