Chapter 111

Natasha's POV

"Hey! How are you feeling? Should I call Luke!" Ryan asked as he checked my body worriedly.

"I…what happened?" I asked as he helped me rest my back on the bed.

"Hey look at me." He brought his face closer to my head.

"Do you feel any pain at all, are you sure you are good…forget it I'm calling Luke!" He stood up and I held his arm.

His eyes landed on my hand before looking at me, my throat burned when I tried to talk and I swallowed my saliva.

"Don't leave." I clung onto him.

"I just want to call Luke, I'm not leaving." He sat on the bed.

I moved closer to him and wrapped my hands around his waist tightly, he stiffened for a while when he heard my son's he then pulled me closer.

"I thought …. i…wouldn't be able to see you again Ryan." I said amidst sobbing.

"It felt.. like hell being separated from you…I .. tried escaping…but …I was weak.. all this happened because I was weak!"

"Hey!" He lifted my chin so I could look at him. "You aren't weak, you are the strongest woman I have ever met." He wiped my tears with his palm.

"Don't blame yourself, after all it is my fault I failed to protect my mate."

"No." I held his arm. "Let's not blame each other…please." I held his arm.

"I'm.. sorry." He muttered. "Please forgive me." He kissed my lips.

Ryan deepened the kiss when I opened my mouth to give him entrance, our tongue danced in rhythm he groaned lowly when I slid my hand into his hair his grip on me tightened. And I could tell he was fighting with his wolf not to take me right now.

"Hey." He whispered slowly.

"He tried to mark me."

"What!"

He lifted up his hair in a hurry and took off to check the crook of my neck. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mark was still there.

"How did you find me?" I asked him.

"It's a long story but I got help from Irene and someone." He answered.

I bursted Into tears when I remembered that Xavier was dead because of me, I bowed my head in shame.

"What's wrong?" Ryan pulled my hair aside so he could see me.

I hid my face in my palm as I cried painfully

"You are making me worried Tasha."

"Xavier…he…died.. because of me, aren't you angry at me?" I removed my palm from my face.

"Xavier isn't dead, he is still alive." Ryan answered.

"He isn't.." I gasped. "But…I.. saw him.." My mind went to the event that happened that day.

I gritted my teeth in anger, my eyes swiveled to Ryan who was now looking surprised at the sudden change in expression.

"Tasha?"

"Don't tell me Vanessa is still here in the pack!" I flung the duvet away from my body.

I regretted my actions immediately. My legs made contact with the floor. I hardly my butt making a friction sound.

"She is a traitor Ryan!!" I yelled at him when he tried to carry me back on the bed.

I held his arm and tried to stand up, he pushed me back and hovered over me. My fangs flashed. I was going to kill her and Ryan wouldn't stop me from doing so.

"I locked her up in the dungeon!" He yelled and I blanched.

"Part of the long story that I was talking about, we found out the wicked deed she did." He released his grip on me.

I sat upright and I heard his explanation of how he met a witch named Elsa, how she revealed Vanessa's true colour, how she saved Xavier and how she helped them in saving me from Gabriel.

"I want to meet Ryan." I couldn't shake the feeling of indebt that was creeping on me.

"You will, after you rest." He tapped the bed signalling that I should sleep.

"I want to see my son." I pouted.

"Not now." He countered.

"Please.. I.. only came back because of you guys."

"What do you mean?" He frowned and I stiffened.

I almost let the words out.

"Um.. it's.. nothing." I chuckled nervously.

"Fine." He shrugged and carried me in a bridal style.

"Ryan? What are you doing?" I held his collar tightly.

"You need a bath, and I'm going to give you one." He answered and kicked the bathroom door open.

I chuckled when he placed me inside the bathtub, I smiled in relief seeing Ryan again. I kept pondering on the words Elsa told me, she didn't tell me when it was going to happen which made it scarier.

Who was the dark one?

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"What?" I lifted my head.

"Your thoughts are clouded, what's wrong?" I forgot he could feel my feelings.

"Um…nothing."

"Hmm." I moaned when his fingers soaked into my scalp.

"You are a bad girl." He sputtered a laugh.

After Ryan bathed me, I wore his clothes. I wanted his scent all over me. We both walked downstairs and as we climbed down the stairs, a smile formed in my face when I saw my family.

"Natasha!!!" Lisa jumped on me and I almost fell.

"She is awake!!" Connor ran to join the hug.

Soon I was surrounded by all of them before Ryan pulled me away from the hug so I could breathe.

"Hi." A young lady waved to me.

I glanced at Ryan, I didn't know who she was.

"Elsa, the witch." He answered.

"Oh." I went forward and shook her hand.

"I'm Natasha, thank you for everything Elsa."

"It's nothing, it's an honour meeting you my lady." She shook my hand.

"My… mother's name is Elsa too." I rambled.

"I've heard a lot about her and I will be glad if you will allow me to teach you the little things I know, you know so you will be able to use your power." She said everything in a breath.

From my view she was shorter than me and I guess she would be in the same age group with Lisa and I. I heard the muttering of a baby and I turned around, Jayden was on the floor as soon as he saw me he crawled to me and I gasped.

"Baby!" I took him in my arms.

"Oh…I've missed you…mommy is back okay." I threw kisses at him.

"So now that Natasha is back, what is the punishment for Vanessa's crime?" Dante said suddenly.
