Chereads / The Beauty in a Wolf / Chapter 4 - IV

Chapter 4 - IV

Watch Striker leave I turn away to return to my position of the roses when I suddenly smash into a wall, well what feels like a wall. Losing my balance I expect to feel the ground but Instead I do not, opening my eyes there met with a shiny blue ones "Liam" I think smiling gleefully; "Still as clumsy as when you first came here" He says to me with his muscular voice "I am not" I huff as he helps me to my feet "If you say so" He murmurs to himself, "Connor told me, that you were hoping to walk through the rose garden this evening, perhaps I can be of some company on this fine night, what do you Nika?" Liam questions. My heart suddenly begins to ping as it pitter, patters against my chest and I hope he cannot hear how loudly it is beats; Of all the wolves Liam has never called me Princess instead he had reverted to calling me by the name given to me by the Black Wolf though I wanted him to call me Veronika, Just as the other wolves and their pet name he refused to call me any other but what he wanted. "Well?" Liam questions awaiting my answer I huff and reply "It will be an honor if you could join me on my walk".

Walking through the garden with Liam has always put a calm sensation over me for I knew of the dangers that lurked in selfish humans outside the border and that we were seen as monsters and enemies of the people but in reality, they are the real monsters. Feeling death, no being dead and being brought back to life is not something one person can just get over, I still see my death being played out in my head everyday sending anger and through me as I clenched my fist to my side "Nika, you must let go of that life" I hear Liam say as he takes my hand in his "You have been reborn, you should rejoice and celebrate that you are alive and with us. With me." He whispers sending butterflies through my stomach "I will Liam, for you" I smile "Don't do it for me, do it for yourself" He says turning his head towards me as I nod in agreement.
