The Beast And The Blessed Chapter 92

Ninety-Two: Natalie

Natalie’s P.O.V.

‘You seem disturbed.” Aurora’s soft voice called out, and I glanced over at her with a forced smile.

I trained for hours with Tobias, exhausting myself as I learned new ways to fight against vampires and avoid getting bitten. He still wouldn’t talk to me, and I refused to pressure him into it. Whatever his reasons were, they were none of my business.

His silence only seemed to make him all the more terrifying.

I closed the book I was studying as she approached me. She sat in the armchair to my left, staring into the fire.

“My people are about to go to war tomorrow. Many will die. That should disturb anyone.” My eyes raked over her features as I still failed to locate any apparent similarities between us. Even though Joslin never had the chance to test my blood with the council arriving, I knew Aurora was being truthful about our connection, but it was still unsettling.

“Yes, I suppose you are correct.” She sounded distracted, and I waited patiently for her to tell me why she had sought me out. I had my own questions, but I wasn’t in a hurry. I would be getting my answers from her sooner or later. “I’m afraid that I won’t be much help tomorrow.”

My eyes narrowed when the sudden fear of her leaving settled into my gut. Was this it? Was she going to abandon me again? “What makes you say that?”

She smiled sadly as she turned to face me, leaning her head against the chair. ‘You’re growing stronger every day.”

‘You’ve said that already, repeatedly.’ My annoyance must have been evident in my tone because her smile fell. Her look reminded me of when the mother who raised me would scold me for something.

I wasn’t going to apologize for my irritation when she crashed into my life and refused to give me anything other than vague statements that didn’t answer any of my questions.

‘We share in the Goddess’s gift.” She stated as she pulled her eyes away from me, looking dejected. “But yours is unlike anything I have ever seen before. My mother and every woman before her had it. We are at our strongest in The Sanctum. The longer we are away from it, the weaker we get. We didn’t know if the gift would die if we were away too long, so we were never gone for more than a few weeks. It is how we recharge.
