RAQUEL’S POV

“Tell him what he wants to hear. Act the way he wants you to act, and you would get what you want without having to raise your voice and still end up not getting it” Keira advised, and thinking about it. I found out she was right. How did I not think about that since! Gosh! I would make him think that he could control me, I would act all sweet and all so that whenever I had to do something he wouldn’t want to deny me from doing it

“Look, I know you don’t like Andrew for whatever reason it is. But I just want to talk to him. I want to find answers to questions that only he can -answer” I said softly, but the ice cold look didn’t break. Maybe it wouldn’t work after all “Seriously? That’s all the effort you could afford?” Keira’s voice echoed in my ear and I sighed

“Just…” I was forced to put a hold on what I planned on saying as his cell phone rang. He didn’t acknowledge the call and placed the phone back into his pocket, but from the look on his face I knew it was someone important. “You know, you surprise me a lot. You were almost kidnapped and you’re carefree. You aren’t concerned about it at all. You don’t even act like you care to know who was behind it. All you want to do is talk to Andrew And no matter how hard I try to figure out why, I just can’t I don’t know what I expected to hear, but it definitely wasn’t that. He sounded genuinely clueless. And now that he said it to me, 1 began to think

That incident definitely should have made me think about a lot of things like. What if Leo wasn’t there to save me? What would have become of my kids if the bullets had been meant for killing me? And I also didn’t thank bin. As a matter of fact, when I woke up this morning the first thing I did was check on my boys, then headed straight to where Leo was seated and began to throw tantrums) was ranting about how he had put my kids in danger and all. I had put all the blame on him because I had refused to see past the anger and hatred I had against him. Reflecting on it all, I started to feel bad about my behavior. Leo had been working his ass off trying to find the person behind it all and instead of offering help. I was only adding to his stress

“Isn’t that what you wanted? For him not to have peace of mind? For him to be restless at night just as you had always been because of him” You guessed right, that was Keira

“When did I ever tell you that? Her statement did nothing but make me feel more guilty than ever, I didn’t want that for him, all I wanted was for him to stop being bitchy to me. As I grew up, I began to understand that there might be a possibility that he only did that to protect me. “Walt…Can you hear yourself?” This voice didn’t belong to Keira, it belonged to my subconscious mind

“What?” I asked. “You’re justifying his bad actions against you. What could be possibly be protecting you from that warranted emotional and sometimes physical abuset i mean, he forced you into his home, forced your kids to know their real identity even when you didn’t think it was the right time. It didn’t end there, he forcefully marked you, I mean. Come on girl don’t start trying to justify his actions because of your dumb feelings. He is a heartless monster and has no reason why he hurt you. It was just a way to feel good about himself and have fun”

“Don’t listen to her, he definitely has a good reason why he acts this way towards you. Think about it, he bullied you alone and it’s not because he couldn’t do that to others. You should really think about it Another voice soad

I think it was a word war between my good and bad side.

“What are you standing there thinking about. Leo’s voice pulled me out of my trance

“I know you can take care of it, that’s why I didn’t bother asking. I didn’t want to burden my mind with the thought of that. And moreover it’s not like you would give me the answer even if I asked anyway” I hope that was a good answer. He nodded. “Yeah I wouldn’t have given you an answer because I also din’t have the answer. I’m working on finding that out anyway when I do I’ll let you know but of course, only if you care” He answered and I nodded

*I’ll be out for some time. News just came up” He said again and did nothing more but nod again. That was a good start. I might be able to get through him with the words that he liked to hear. With this, I would be able to talk with Andrew in a few days. The door swung open. Or maybe I could talk to him now God was on my side today

“You know you should really try knocking whenever going into people’s bedrooms” I said, and he gave a slight nod. “Where’s Leo?” He asked

“He just left the room not quite long ago, didn’t you meet him on the way?” I asked. “F1 did, then I wouldn’t be here asking you if he was here” Okay. Maybe he was in a bad mood because he had never spoken to me in that manner before. “Oh! LI was.. I was just, you know, asking” Came in my response. I was stuttering not because I was scared or nervous, but because I was still processing the tune and the choice of response he made

“Okay” He answered and made to leave but I stopped him. “Wait…I need to talk to you” I said, he turned to me and stared at my face for a moment in silence, then said “I don’t, I have a lot of important things to attend to Okay, no offense taken. His must have been in a very sour mood

“We need to talk Leo, it is very important” I pushed

“Make it quick“Wow! Never thought he had this side in him, but it’s all good. “Come have a sit I offered. He hesitated for a while before accepting the offer. When he finally did, I took my time to explain all that happened between Leo and I and how I got pregnant with the boys and so on, he listened carefully and made sure to not say a word till I was done Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry you had to go through all that.” He finally said after a minute or two of silence. “But I feel you should have told me, you know I really felt

12:56 PM

neglected the day I saw you and Leo in bed. We were friends and you..” He was saying but I cut him off

“I’m sorry, I just didn’t want to talk about it because the wound was still fresh in my heart. You know?” I explained and he nodded.

“It’s okay” He made that statement with a smile and I couldn’t help bait smile too. Now I had come clean. It was his turn to do so

“We good now right?” I asked, just to be sure, and he nodded.

“Great, so tell me about you” Let’s say he didn’t expect my question and definitely wasn’t ready to answer it. “What more do you want to know about me?” He asked. I could see that he was trying to dodge telling me everything there is to know, but i wasn’t having any of it

“How did you get here so fault it was barely up to ten minutes that we were on the phone and you came here, that’s like a journey of twelve to sixteen hours and you made it here within minutes. Care to explain that?” I asked and he sighed in defeat. Oh yeah, I got him in the book

“Maybe I wasn’t actually in Canada when you called” He said and I squinted my eyes “You followed us here?” I asked and he nodded. “Isn’t that like stalking!”

“Well, maybe it is,” He answered and 1 laughed. Wait, something wasn’t adding up and I stopped laughing abruptly “You’re lying” I challenged “What makes you say that?” He asked

“Your niece, I talked to her and I know that she definitely wasn’t here in Australia. You’re a supernatural being, just like Leo. And now I believe him, you’re brothers. Sandra isn’t your blood sister.” I put the pieces together and it all made sense. “Look, I couldn’t possibly tell you that. I incan. thought you were going to freak out” He defended and I nodded It’s not like Texpected him to just tell me his real identity because we were friends. And even if I wanted to take offense, I couldn’t. My own parents didn’t even tell me about their identity until after twenty four years. it was all good

Another thing crossed my mind Werewolves are fast, yeah, but there’s no way a werewolf could cover that whole distance in less than five minutes. I’m sure not even Leo, who is an Alpha, can cover that distance in such a small time” I reasoned out loud “What are you getting at?” He asked with a little smile curved on his lips

“You’re not a Werewolf” When he laughed. I knew I was right, but he denied it

“I am a werewolf, and it’s true that we aren’t that fast to be able to cover that distance in such a short time” He started. “So you’re extraordinary!“I asked and he laughed again

–

“I had help he said and I mouthed “Old” He nodded – From a witch” He continued and I mouthed another “Ob!” Witches were real too. “At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if vampires and wendiges also exist I voiced and he tilted his head sideways a little, while his right brow was raised. That was enough answer for me. And I laughed. It was the realest one I had done since I got back here. We did some catching up, and had fun. I was genuinely happy, and forgotten about all the troubles I was facing with that controlling jerk

“I missed you a lot, I couldn’t help myself, that’s why I came back here after so many years” He said on a serious note, while stroking the strand of hair that stood in my face backwards. I heaved a sigh and faced up, so that we could stare at each other. We did so for a considerably long time, and the next minute his lips were on mine. We kissed till we were out of breath And after catching enough we continued. His hands roamed around my body, then to the back of my dress, he pulled down the zipper and slid one sleeve of my dress downwards so that he could have access to my bare chest. His lips left mine and down to my cleavage

He was about taking down the other sleeve when the door crashed down in pieces, taking us by surprise. We Untangled from each other immediately and looked towards the door to meet the eyes of an enraged Leo
