Forty three
N A T A L I A.
I made him lay on the bed, I was very consumed as to what to do because he was unconscious, I couldn’t get a human doctor because they wouldn’t know what to do because he is a supernatural being. I was very scared, I picked up my phone from my back pocket where it was lying. I immediately dialed Rowland’s number, he picked it up very quickly.
“Hey, fireball!” He said.
“It’s Rome, he’s sick, he fell unconscious,” I said at a very fast pace.
“Rome? Don’t tell me you are back to the supernatural realm.” He said I was out of breath and very scared.
“It’s a long story, please have your dad teleport here or something,” I said.
“Okay, I’ve to mind-linked him, he should be there in” I cut him off as soon as Rome’s dad appeared in the room.
“He’s here!” I said I cut the call immediately, I felt very nervous.
“Good day, Mr. Miller.” I said, he looked very disturbed as he stared at his soon.
“Good day, Queen Natalia, what happened to him?” He asked.
“I came and found him laying on the floor in his blood, though, then he was awake. He said something about his demon!” I said at a very fast pace.
“Osaki!” His father said, he looked very troubled. “Did you hold him?” He asked and I nodded.
“He’ll be fine, as long as you are here.” His dad said. I couldn’t understand.
“Who is Osaki?” I asked, his dad looked away, he walked over to his son and lovingly placed his arm on his cheek.
“Osaki is his Demon, the strongest demon in the world.” His father explained.
“Was it he who made Rome bleed from the nose?” I asked.
“No, Rome was probably trying to control Osaki’s anger from getting to him, Osaki is very strong.” His father said.
“Osaki manipulates his anger?” I asked, his father nodded. I didn’t know what to say, could it have been Osaki who had killed my brother and not Rome?
“But then, Rome can control him, and it might result in him bleeding.” His father explained, I nodded attentively as though I was listening to my primary school teacher coach me.
“Oh!” I said, all my rays of hope crashing. But then, it wasn’t like I loved Rome or anything like that. I have managed to push my emotions for him behind me and I’m glad I did that.
“I’ll come to see him later, I had to come here while I was in the middle of something very important.” His dad said, from the way he spoke, I felt as though I was speaking to Rome, they looked so much alike.
“Bye!” I said to him, he nodded and teleported in a very stylish manner, he didn’t even need to snap his fingers like Rome. Who, I couldn’t help but shift my attention to, he was looking very pale and still stained in his blood. I couldn’t leave him in this state, I decided to sit beside him and the urge to hold his arm was very strong. I did it, I held it and he tightened his grip.
“Rome,” I called softly.
‘It's the mate bond, I’m sure he can see you in his dream,’ Bradox spoke, he had been very distant for a while.
“Hey, Buddy! Where have you been?” I asked, he breathed in very softly.
‘I’ve been here, feeling all your emotions, and I’m certain you still love Rome very much’ He said, I rolled my eyes, and I heard him chuckle.
“I don’t love him, he’s still a person, It’s my duty to care about the creation of God!” I said, Bradox chuckled again.
‘Keep on deceiving yourself Natalia, I’m certain you love him and you’ll understand your emotions just like I can.’ He said, I try to let go of Rome’s arm but his grip was firm.
“Natalia!” I heard him call out to me, my eyes flickered a bit, tears threatening to spill.
“Rome!” I called out to him softly. His eyelids were still shut, I was certain he was still unconscious.
‘Alpha’s!’ Bradox rolled his eyes, and I chuckled. I was feeling very sleepy so I decided to lay on the bed next to him and sleep, he didn’t let go of my arm, I still held onto him as I lay beside him. I stared at his face intently, the scars were still eminent, and his face looked very worried, as though he was having a very big argument in his head.
Suddenly, sleep began to take hold of me, I was very tired and I dozed off in no time.

The strong scent of perfume was the first thing I perceived when I opened my eyes, I was very weak, I opened my eyes calmly to find Rome standing before the mirror that stood in the room. He was brushing his hair, and he looked ready for work he was neatly dressed in a tuxedo that fitted him perfectly. I stared at him intently, absorbing his features, Rome was a very handsome young man.
“Are you done checking me out, my Queen?” He asked, I could tell he had a smirk on his face from the way he spoke.
“I wasn’t checking you out, what’s the time?” I asked in realization, I got down from the bed
“It’s 8:30 pm, you still have time to get ready for work,” He said, I nodded, and I tried to arrange the bed. He was staring at me with his eyes wide as a saucer, I didn’t understand what had happened until I stared at the bed and saw the deep stain of blood, I screamed and immediately sat back on the bed.
He busted into laughter. “Why are you screaming?” He asked, I couldn’t lift my head to stare at him.
“Please can you help with a towel or something?” I said, he chuckled.
“I can help you teleport to your room,” He said, for a second, I forgot he had powers.
“Please do, I’m sorry, I didn’t know my period would come very early, I’ll wash your bedsheets and bring them back to you, okay?” I said to him, and he chuckled.
“There is no need for that, Natalia, it’s blood, it’s a normal thing.” He said. He was speaking very nicely, I had to raise my brow a bit, was something wrong with him?
“There's nothing wrong with me, my Queen,” He said. “I’m ready to change everything about me for you, and I’m happy that I have you back in my life.” He said I didn’t have anything to say to him.
“Can you help me teleport?” I asked, he nodded and I suddenly teleported and appeared in my toilet, in the bathtub, NAKED! His powers are very scary, how did he even do this? Nevertheless, I decided to take my bath, when I was done, I put on my pad and got dressed, we have a meeting today and I’m his assistant, which means I have to take care of everything. Well, I wore a very corporate dress and decided to head downstairs immediately. My stomach was rumbling so I decided to head to the dining room, where I found Rome and Eden having breakfast.
“Yo! Natalia!” Eden said cheerfully, I ambulated towards them cheerfully.
“Good morning boss!” I awkwardly greeted Rome, and he nodded his head as he sipped from his cup of coffee, Eden, on the other hand, was flashing me his million-dollar smile, I walked over to him and sat down. I didn’t fail to see the disapproval in Rome’s eyes.
“Morning, Eden!” I said to him, he smiled and handed me a cup of the juice that sat before him.
“I made this for you, I hope you’ll love it.” He said, he handed me a cup of coffee but it had so much foam vanilla and sprinkles on it.
“Wow! How did you make this? It looks so tasty.” I commented, I heard a groan in my head, I looked up to see Rome staring at me with so much disapproval in his eyes.
“Don’t drink it, you’re on your period.” I heard Rome say through our mate mind link.
“You can’t tell me what to do!” I snapped at him and took a sip of the coffee, it tasted so nice.
“Oh my God! I love this.” I said to Eden, Eden was so pleased to hear that.
“I’m glad you love it, it’s my mum’s favorite.” He said cheerfully. I was about to say something when Rome’s voice blared through the room.
“Enough bickering, we have a meeting to attend.” He said, the meeting was not until 11 pm, and I was certain he didn’t want me to continue having the coffee.
Anyway, Eden and I stood up. Rome did as well and I could see the hatred in his eyes for poor Eden. “Eden,” Rome called, Eden happily responded with a smile on his face.
“Yes, boss!” Eden responded to Rome politely.
“Uhm, I want you to do something for me, okay?” Rome asked, Eden looked surprised but he still nodded respectfully.
“I want you to go to the main office, and get me all the files from the secretary,” He said, Eden’s jaw dropped.
“The main office is very far away, I won't be able to make it back today,” Eden said.
“Yeah, that is why I’ve had the office bedroom ready for you just in case,” Rome said, I knew this was a plan to get him and me alone.
“Boss, I can go get it for you if you wish,” I suggested, Rome nodded his head no.
“I want Eden to do it,” Rome insisted. From the way Eden stared at him, I knew he knew something was up.
“Okay sir, I’ll do it, there’s no problem,” Eden said.
“Okay, please leave now, the car should be ready, here’s the key!” He handed over a Mercedes key to Eden, Eden looked very excited holding onto the keys.
“Thank you!” Eden said. The key seemed to fascinate him. I was sure it was a new model of Mercedes from the way he was smiling like he had won the lottery.
“Bye Natalia, see you tomorrow!” He said to me, I waved at him as he walked away. I then shifted my gaze to Rome.
“You’re very smart!” I said to Rome, from the way he smiled, my doubts were clear, he sent Eden to the main office on purpose.
“The meeting was canceled, I wanted some time alone with you.” He said. I gasped, was I that bad of a PA not to notice that the meeting was canceled again?
“Too bad, I wanna sleep,” I said, I tried to move but I couldn’t, I was stuck to the ground and I knew it was his doing.
“Let me go, Rome!” I said. He smiled a very dashing smile.
“No, you’ll have to follow me to the gaming exhibition.” He said, I raised a brow at him, was he kidding me?
“I’m going nowhere!” I said sternly, and he chuckled.
“I swear you are!” He snapped his finger and I was teleported into his car and seated in it with my seatbelt crossed.
“This is kidnap!” I said, he chuckled.
“I can’t get arrested, I’m not a human, I can teleport and they’ll never find me.” He joked, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
He ignited the car and reversed and drove out of the gates of the mansion. “I’m not getting out of this car!” I said.
“Oh, you sure are! Aren’t you tired of making empty threats?” He asked, I rolled my eyes.
Since he noticed I wasn’t going to reply, he drove real fast until we got to the front of a huge skyscraper, it was really beautiful and it had “HELLO GAMERS” written boldly on the screen.
