FREE NOVEL DRAMA Chapter 0219
as he arched his brow I remembered he could read my damn mind.
"You are worried that you will not be able to wait, right? That the little game we are playing with The Moon Goddess will take too long and that seeing them with the girl will be too much for you to bear?" Slowly breathing in, I wondered for a second how he knew, but then "What if, in that time, that they are not really mated, they find their second chance mate or actually fall for Connie and take her as their chosen." I explained, my lips trembling as tears threatened to rain down my cheeks. "It's not just me at risk of losing them that scares me, it's..." My hand lowered to my stomach and I nodded gently.
"It's the consequences that may follow. Who will protect them against Sebastian? Against Connie? Against themselves?" I admitted. Fluffy, sensing my distress, pushed between me and a now kneeling Astaroth, his eyes locked on mine with what looked like a shred of decency.
"Me." He nodded. "I will be close by, and no one; and I mean no one will hurt your babies, you or take what is yours." He nodded, the tone of his voice telling me he was deadly serious, and given the howl that Fluffy let out as he rested his head on my lap, he too.. Was on team Lottie.
Was it wrong that I believed him?
Was I stupid to trust a demon?
Was this a mistake?
I guess there was only one way to find out, and my options were running out...
Looking at my mates, I ran my tongue over my lips and nodded. "Ok.."
"Is there a way... anyway... that she can remember... somehow... that she can remember that we love her, beyond what we ever thought possible? Is there a way to ease the pain for her?" Kane asked, his eyes on Astaroths, his lips pulled tight as he tried not to cry with me.
My eyes shifted quickly to Astaroth, his silence spoke volumes. He was anxious. He seemed to be mulling over something while we waited with bated breath.
"Maybe... But it's a risk." Astaroth finally announced.
"Then we do it. I can't bear the thought of her hating us." Knox sighed his eyes on Kane's, the pair nodding in agreement before both their eyes fell on me, my heart swelling with devotion to these two giant Alpha twins.
"I know it's selfish, but I need you to remember how much we love you!" Knox added. Chewing my lip I nodded, unable to speak, because I agreed. It may be a risk, but it was one we had to take.
"We are taking enough risks, what's one more then?" Astaroth grinned before he stood outstretching his hand to me. "I will need you to trust me."
"But..."
"Not you." Astaroth silenced me, his eyes pinning me in place. I felt Sage shifting under the surface as she pushed forward to watch from the back of my eyes. Her whole being vibrated with trepidation, which let me know exactly who he was talking to? But why?
"Sage, I know you are listening, and I know you don't trust me very much, and I get that, but I know that this plan working means everything to me." Astaroth explained with real emotion entwined within his words.
I felt Sage force herself forward like she did in the bedroom the day before. Like then, I felt her seize control of my mind, my body and somehow my bond with the two men I was fighting so hard to keep in my life and that of my babies.
"I know you have the gift of
foresight. Let me show you why this
means everything to me, and then maybe you will understand and trust me, because for me to do what they want and ease her suffering at least a little, I will need your help
"Foresight?" I asked, my mind whirling with confusion as I watched through purple-stained eyes as Astaroth held his hand out to me or rather to Sage. His eyes glowed with the deep red of the flames of hell.
"Sage?" I whispered nervously as I
quickly scanned the cathedral for my mates, to see them watching cautiously Knox was slowly edging forward, his movements getting the attention of Fluffy, whose ears perked with an alertness that told me she was cautious too. Kane stood quietly, his eyes locked on mine with a seriousness I had found somewhat reassuring.
