Chapter 62

I don't answer and a few minutes later Shawn comes into the living room and sits down next to me.

-I've called you a few times.

-Sorry, I didn't hear you.

-Don't lie to me, Anaève.

I sigh and put my cup of coffee on the table behind me.

Present

-What's wrong?

I look away and look out of the bay window.

-Love...

He turns my face towards him and looks at me with incomprehension, a tear running down my face.

-Please talk to me, I hate seeing you like this.

I turn my gaze back to the bay window.

-I lied to you," I say in a small voice.

He stiffens.

-About what?

-I'm not a virgin any more.

He breathes a sigh of relief.

-That's all it is, why does that put you in such a state?

-The night you saved me from that rape, you brought me home to you.

-And?

-You were in a rage and what do you do when you're in a rage?

He leaps to his feet.

-No, no...I didn't...

-You raped me, that night you raped me, but I don't blame you, you're my soul mate and despite the fact that you raped me, I have to admit that I enjoyed it, in part. I stand up and put my hand on his shoulder.

-I love you, Shawn, despite everything you've done to me, I love you with all my heart and nothing can change that.

He hits the wall.

-You're not telling me everything! What else was there, seeing Lara pregnant, feeling the baby move...

-I was pregnant.

He turns to me, his eyes red.

-You had an abortion! You killed our child, how dare you!

He pinned me against the wall and held my throat tightly.

-I didn't have an abortion...

He lets go of me and takes a step back.

-What the hell happened?

I slide back against the wall and pull my knees to my chest, close my eyes and try to catch my breath. I hear Shawn's footsteps coming closer and he steps in front of me. -Ana...

I throw myself around his neck and cry.

-It's okay baby, I'm sorry...

He kisses my forehead.

-It was when I was at the human boarding school, I was going to leave in a few hours to go back home. I'd decided to keep the baby and go back home, when the alarm at the boarding school went off. Everyone went to the basement and we waited. My mother called me telepathically and told me that lone wolves had surrounded the school. So I went outside and that's when the leader pounced on me, digging his claws into my stomach. I transformed and we fought. My family arrived a few minutes later and they left. I was rushed to hospital where I was told I'd lost my baby...

Throughout my story, Shawn listened attentively and comforted me.

-When I saw Lara and felt the baby move, I said to myself that I too could have gone through this, even though I was only 15 at the time...

-Would you like to have another one?

-I don't know if I'm ready, with the history of lone wolves, I'm afraid he'll come back and take my baby away from me again.

-I think you're ready, you'll make a wonderful mother and now I'm here, I'm going to protect you from him. Nobody can hurt my wife and baby.

I smile and lean against his neck.

-I love you so much Anaève, you don't know how much...

-Mark me.

He turns me round and looks me straight in the eye.

-Are you sure?

I nod, he lays me down and gets on top of me, kisses me passionately and makes a beeline for my neck. When he replaces the perfect spot, he sinks his fangs into my flesh and makes me his. When he licks my neck and signs off, I return and kiss him, do the same and after marking him, look him straight in the eye. His eyes are gold, filled with desire. Before I knew it, our clothes were on the floor and that night we had become one.

The next day, I woke up alone in bed, which had the effect of making me angry. After giving him my 'first time', he left as if...

He comes into the room with breakfast in bed, puts the tray on the bed and I jump on his neck.

-I thought you'd gone...

He tightens his grip.

-No, I'm here and I'm going to stay forever.

I smile and we start eating.

-What time's your training session?

-Around 1 o'clock this afternoon.

He nods, and when he's finished he tells me he has to go to work.

Around 1pm, I walk into the training room and get a surprise attack.

-Always be on your guard, never trust anyone.

I grumbled and he held out his hand to help me up, but I pushed him away and got up on my own.

-Well, at least you've learned your lesson: your friend today could be your enemy tomorrow. Don't trust anyone, not even me, there's so much witchcraft around these days that you never know if the person you're talking to is under the influence of a sorcerer. Be very careful, lone wolves are very good at sorcery, their leader is a sorcerer, don't forget that.

-Why is he looking for me? Why is he after me?

-That's not the question, Anaève, the question is why not? Why wouldn't he take someone else?

I'm thinking about it.

-Now we have to get ready, you never know when Jonas is going to attack.

I stop dead in my tracks.

-You know his name!

He stops and turns to me, his face white.

-Why didn't you tell me?

-Because I'm not allowed to. Promise me you won't tell anyone, otherwise I'll be taken to the witches' council and executed...
