Avalyn
"This is the only time we have." I told everyone at the table.
Nik and Max just left and I told my family about my plan. Nat was still in shock. She couldn't believe that the devil had captured his soul.
Nik didn't believe in me either. It hurt but I understood. He has known Max since he was a child. And he didn't want to think that the brother he grew up looking up to was evil.
The thing is, Max isn't evil. He just has a little part of Devil inside him.
"Are you sure?" Natalia asked me.
"Yes." I nodded.
"I believe you." Dimitri spoke and then gave Mikhail a look.
"Fine. Let's do this." Mikhail stood up.
"Good. Mikhail, sit at the back windows. Dimitri ready the wolves and hide by the patio near the beach. And try not to get hurt." I bit my lip as I eyes both the men.
Max is strong. Like really strong. Maybe even stronger than Nik.
"Yes, Luna." They both nodded.
"Let's go, Nat." I said and we both walked to her bedroom.
The curtains were pushed open and the the balcony windows were open. For which I was glad, because it removed the decaying smell that had saturated here. The bedsheets were changed and the room smelled much better than before. I mentally noted to reward April. She is a good female.
We both sat on the bed and Nat got noticeably quieter.
"You can talk to me, you know?" I told her softly.
"I know. But it's not really his fault. Deep down, I know you are right Avalyn. I saw his eyes. They turned black. And his whole demeanour changed. That wasn't my Max. I can't be upset with him for something that wasn't in his control." She sighed.
"You're right. He can't be held responsible for that. But you can be upset about it. You were hurt. You have the right to be hurt." I looked at the frail girl.
She has been through something no woman should go through. The betrayal of your own mate, under whatever circumstance, is something one can never just let go.
A tear fell down her eye and her hands cupped her lower belly. "I felt every stroke, every thrust. And it burned. It hurt so bad." She cried. "I could feel him cum."
I gathered her in my arms, tears rising in my own eyes. She doesn't deserve this. I don't know what I will do if Nik did the same thing to me. I'd die. Surely.
But Nik wouldn't ever do that. He loves me too much for that. And his soul isn't captured by the devil either...
Nat stiffened. He's here. I could feel him. He was standing on the other side of the door.
"I hate him, Avalyn. I hate him so much. He ruined me. He ruined everything we had." She sobbed, going according to the plan now.
"But he is here now. And he is your mate. Maybe with time, you can forgive him." I wiped her tears.
"I can't." She cried. "I'm sorry but I can't follow through Nikolai's plan. I can't be with him like that anymore. I can't." Tears streamed down my cheeks at her words that were laced with pain. "He hurt me too bad. I could feel every single thrust of his inside my vagina, literally slicing me open from the inside. I can never forget it." Her voice broke. I couldn't decide if this was her acting or not. I could feel her hurt and heartbreak. It was rolling off of her in waves.
"You should talk to him." I whispered.
"I want to reject him." Her small voice came. A gasp felt my mouth and the door slammed open.
Max's eyeballs had turned red and the rest of his eyes black. The devil was out.
Now we have to push him back in.
I looked at Nat and gave her a short nod.
"Max!" She called softly.
His chest was heaving, taking quick short breaths.
"Max." She called again. "Come back to me." She whispered.
His eyes flickered before going back to his normal blue colour.?
"Talia." He whispered and stepped forward, as if he didn't even know what just happened.
Giving her a nod, I stepped out of the room.
I caught Vanessa standing outside.
"It's past your bedtime, baby." I picked her up and walked to her room.
"I wanted to talk to Max." She pouted, crossing her chubby arms.
"Can't you talk to him tomorrow?" I asked.
"I want to talk right now!" She said stubbornly as I entered in her bedroom.
Adrian was reading a book. His head snapped up at our arrival and he threw me a quick smile before he continued reading.
"Max is busy right now but he said something about being free all day tomorrow." I placed her down. "Adrian, it's her bedtime, can you please help me by putting her to bed?" I really can't afford her going near Max right now. And I need to leave quickly.
"Yes, of course." He nodded and slid off the chair and walked to us, taking a hold of Nessa's hand.
"Goodnight. Don't stay up too late, Adrian." I ruffled his hair and chuckled at him trying to set it back and exited their room.
I saw Nat and Mikhail making their way down to the beach from the balcony in my bedroom. And I couldn't see Dimitri but I knew he was hiding somewhere near the patio. He would be able to reach them in half a minute if anything goes wrong.?
"I've been searching for you." Nik whispered in my ear and I jumped a bit at the suddenness.
"I was with Nat and then I put Nessa to bed." I whispered and turned around to look at his smouldering grey eyes.
Now I need to keep Nik away from there and keep an eye on them so nothing went wrong. This was a good place to do that.
"And what about your little plan?" His hands came to rest on my ass before he squeezed.
I gasped, heat instantly pooling in my belly.
And how did he know?
