Chapter 44

MILA

I wake up the next morning feeling tired. I haven’t slept for long, that image replying in my head didn't exactly help me. I look towards the clock on the bedside table and it read 7AM.

I go to move as I'm in this desperate need to go to the bathroom but I can feel an arm around me, I forgot Nate stayed with me. I turn around to see his face, he does look handsome. He looks peaceful when he sleeps. I don’t want to wake him but every time I move his hold on me gets tighter.

“Mila, what’s wrong? Why are you trying to leave?” he says with a sigh and his eyes slowly open.

“I need the bathroom, desperately” I say.

He looks at me “Sorry” he lets go of me and I had run straight into the bathroom to relieve myself.

When I get back, Nate is sitting on the side of the bed, looking at me “Miles, Anna and Archer are waiting for you in the hall for food.”

I look at him “How do you know?” I asked.

“Ah my father mind linked me to tell me and also he wants me to see him” I nod and he stands up and moves around the bed. He comes right up to me and I have a hard time looking up at him. He smirks and leans in “I will see you later Mila, by the way, you are one beautiful woman in the morning.”

I blush ‘Thank you” I say as he takes a side step and walks through the door but stops to turn around with the same smirk plastered on his face “I had a hard time controlling my wolf last night but I have to say you look good wearing one of my tops. Please keep wearing them. It makes us happy” as soon as he says that he has gone but in steps Emily who is smirking wildly at me “Oh ai, what happened last night?”

I look at her and blush hard but recovered quickly “I had another one of my dreams about Devon’s wolf, he appeared to me in a dream again but completely different” I say to her and I relay all the dream to her. She looks at me; I can sense her magic building up as her eyes are purple. I take her hand into my mine. “Em, its ok I will explain everything to Archer when I see him.”

I notice she brought some clothes into my room; I grab them and walk into the bathroom.

“And Nate, What happened there?” she asks, leaning onto the doorframe.

I sigh “He heard me scream and he came in, he stayed as his scent calmed me down. We did nothing.”

“Did you want to do anything with him?” she suddenly asks.

I nearly choked on my toothbrush, I spit out what’s in my mouth and I look at her “I didn’t Em, I don’t know if I can trust him enough yet to do anything with him.”

“What does Sapphire want?” she says as she goes back to take a seat on the bed as I step out of the bathroom.

“Sapphire is a horny dog and wants our mate” I say but I start to feel weird.

But before I can say anymore to Emily adn gather myself, I am being pushed back into the back of my mind.

Sapphire has taken over too my surprise and she puts a block up.

She blcoked me.

She promised she won’t do that again!

SAPPHIRE

I had to do it.

I needed to talk to Emily.

“Sapphire why are you forward?” asks Emily suddenly feeling uneasedby my presence.

“Emily, I had to come forward. I needed to tell you. She’s not going to be happy with the block I put up on her” she gasps but I carry on “Mila is not taking this whole mate thing seriously. She can feel the mate bond I know she can but she can’t trust Nathaniel. She still replays what happened outside the house with him and that whore. I have seen her replay it over and over

“Sapphire, Alyssa was killed by rouges alongside her parents. Alpha Leon banished them for what Alyssa did to Sam” Emily says “I thought Nate had told Mila.”

I shake my head “He hasn’t, I think he is scared to mention anything regarding that girl to Mila just in case she goes nuts or something.”

“Do you want him as your mate?” she suddenly asks me, I’m taken back by the question as I still don’t know. I know his wolf didn’t have anything to do with his humans actions but his human hurt mine in the worst possible way.

“Sapphire” she calls me.

“I don’t know Em, I know Ox didn’t want anything to do with that whore but he didn’t try everything to stop his human for doing what he did. I want Ox but I'm not going to decide that until Mila accepts Nathaniel first” I say with a hint of sadness in my voice.

“You would sacrifice your happiness with your mate for Mila?” she asks looking shocked but also serious. “Sapphire, you can’t do that.”

I smile at her “I want to, Mila has been through a lot and we are one” I say with a little hope.

I can feel Mila trying to break the block I got on her.

I look at Emily one last time “I have to let her come back, don’t tell her anything. She is going to be so mad at me for doing that, I promised I wouldn't block her or keep her out of anything."

I close my eyes, I take down the block and I am shoved back into our mind.

“What the hell Sapphire?” Mila screams.

I know she is ignoring Emily at the moment, but I can sense she has left the room as I put her in an awkward situation.

“I had to talk to Emily” I say but before I can say anything else.

“Sapphire I want to know everything you just said” she asks abruptly.

“Mila, it’s nothing too wrong about” I say but she's not convinced.

“Well I'm blocking you out for a while then, you can see how it feels when everyone is hiding stuff from you” she says angrily towards me.

Before I can say anything I can say anything, I am pushed into the darkness. The block is up. I know I deserve it. I did it to her so many times in the past. This is going to be hell; I need to know that Mila is alright. I have to sacrifice my happiness for Mila, I’m hoping Nathaniel will change her mind but the wound Mila has is so deep that I don’t think even our mate can heal it. She found out she has a brother, a dragon for a guardian and also shares his heart. But I think the one that throws her off more even though she knows his scent calms her; she might not even accept him.

I want my mate Ox but I don’t know what to suggest.

I look into the darkness that I’m in and I know I will be here for a while. I might as well rest as I don’t know how long I will be here.

I hurt my human again, Mila and I are one and we are the Moon Goddess creation.

We need to be on the same page with each other.

Hopefully we will soon when Mila calms down.
