Give me Karina!
Klaus
The pain I feel is something like no other, my whole body feels like it is tearing itself apart and rebuilding itself at the same time. Everything burns, from my eyes to my feet, and my fear turns into an uncontrolled rage. The feeling walks inside me, expanding and turning into something dark.
— Back off, Vrunsni, or I'll let go of the female! Back down or you'll never have the
you human! — The voice of the male holding my female, smelling of fear, makes me want to tear him in two.
My breathing is heavy and now I can hear even better than before. It's as if Karina's pounding heartbeat were punches in my head, and she still has another one. A lower one, but it's there. It's my puppy's heart inside her.
— Give me Karina! — My voice comes out with great difficulty. A part of It tells me that I should act cautiously, but I can't understand why I should act cautiously when Karina is right in front of me with our child being born inside her.
— Karina is mine now! I will have her all to myself - speak and mine thoughts become even more chaotic.
Only I can have Karina. She is pregnant with my puppy! She is mine to own! She is mine forever!
So I ignore this idea of caution and jump on him, who is forced to leave my wife. I take him by the throat without giving him time to beg and I don't even have to make an effort to sink my new teeth into her jugular. I shake his body with all the strength that his body gives me, supporting him on my four paws, and the redhead's head flies away, separating from the rest of his limbs.
I begin to tear him apart, limb by limb, without paying attention to anything around me. I want the intruder completely destroyed, I want to scatter his remains across this roof, I want them to know what happens to anyone who threatens what is mine, until I hear someone approaching.
—Klaus! — A man screams desperately. I know I know him, but I don't
I know from where, because at this moment there is only Karina for me.
He tries to go to the edge of the roof, where Karina is, so my instincts say I shouldn't let him because she's mine and no one else should touch her.
I drop the torn body of the male thief, with my snout and paws covered in his disgusting blood, and growl at the older Persian.
The wind up here is very strong and makes his clothes fly, as well as my hair.
- My! — My voice goes far, even the small animals of the forest get scared, I hear them running.
— Karina fell! — he shouts and only then do I realize that he's right, my female It is no longer where Niflin left it. — You need to control yourself and save her, or at least let me try to rescue her without ripping my head off!
In the midst of my animalistic fury I didn't realize what happened and it could have cost my wife her life. All I could think about was the intruder's blood gushing out for daring to defy me, and now I may have lost my female and my cub.
Without thinking twice, I throw myself off the roof, plummeting at least fifty feet. My body is heavy and makes me fall even faster, but my perfect night vision sees Karina at the bottom of the pool with the water churning, so I brace myself for impact, to catch her no matter what the cost.
I do my best not to hit the water the wrong way and without effort I grab the female by the arm, using my teeth. Holding my breath I try not to hurt her, but I can taste her blood, which makes me want even more.
I take her to the surface, using my four paws to swim, and the female is unconscious, with blood coming out of her mouth due to falling into the water.
I take her to the ground next to the pool soon and suddenly my body starts to shrink. I feel a lot of pain again, but not as much as hearing Karina's heart beating suddenly much lower than normal. She's dying, she's leaving.
— Mon polar nonni coyn fohan — I say, with great difficulty, because I I feel very weak. I already said “Mon polar einyn fohan” to Karina, which means “my destined moon came to me” and now I say “nonni coyn fohan” because she must return to me. — Mon polar nonni coyn fohan.
Her eyes are still closed and her body is soaked and inert. I don't know how humans take care of something like this, I don't know first aid and I don't think I even know what I am anymore. However, I have instincts and they tell me to sink my fangs into my arm, tearing off a chunk of my own skin, and let my blood flow between their pale lips. That way, if she survives, we're mated.
— Mon polar nonni coyn fohan — I repeat a dozen times, with my chest burning in horrible pain while the full moon helps me and gives me its power. The Vrunsni, my shapeshifting ancestors, were the kings of the night and the moon was always their mistress, so she is mine now too.
I can't lose my little human, she's all I need in my life. If the moon wants to take my baby, I don't mind, as long as Karina stays with me.
— Mon polar nonni coyn fohan.
***
Karina
— Are you awake, Karina? — A low male voice spoke to me.
he asks, which makes me slowly open my eyes. A bright light almost blinds me, but then I get used to it a little, especially with the strange swaying I feel.
— W-where am I? — I ask and try to sit up, however, a pang of pain searing pain makes me lie back down on this strange, soft bed, where I've never been before.
— We're on my boat, leaving Italy — explains Vladimir, his uncle.
Klaus, who I immediately recognize, sitting at the foot of the bed.
He's like the last time I saw him. His face is slightly tanned, his body is strong and massive, just like his nephew's and his hair is brown, except for the sides which have white streaks. I can understand why Crystal would be obsessed with this guy. He provides great security. And you can also understand why he might not want her, the two have a big age difference and she is more agitated than he is.
- Italy?
How am I going to Italy if the last thing I remember is falling off the roof of that club? Have I died and am in some kind of weird purgatory?
— Klaus didn't want to wait and took you out of the United States immediately. As you improved quickly, I realized that it was the best thing to do — he explains and I pay attention to where I am.
I'm in what must be a room on that boat, which is simple and not big. It has the double bed I'm lying on, a closet built into the wall and a small door that must lead to the bathroom. It also has a round window, through which I can see the blue sea stretching out, which is terrifying.
— I-I don't understand. — I try to sit down again and this time the Vladimir's reflexes are quick to place his hand in front of my forehead, which makes me hit it and return to the pillow.
— I'm sorry, but you have to stay still — he says and I frown.
— The fall damaged your internal organs, Karina. Falling from a height like that would kill any human being, especially in water, which becomes like stone. But Klaus gave you his blood to drink and saved your life.
I try to imagine the scene, however, I'm a little groggy, which makes the process impossible. Even so, I still remember a conversation I once had with Persanes about his saliva healing scratches and his blood being able to save someone.
“I don't remember drinking his blood,” I mutter, with my stomach becoming upset with anxiety.
— Klaus said you were already unconscious, but the cameras around the room pool caught him transforming back into his humanoid form for sure. The owners of that club must already know everything by now. So Klaus decided to take you to Cosmos Island, which is actually an archipelago. The information hits me in a strange way and it takes me a while to understand.
— Because of the prophecy about the first Persian to become a a wolf?
As Klaus even said when he was transformed, I think I would call it more of a werewolf. A very scary, giant and fatal one.
— That is, if they know that he was chosen by the gods to have this
power, and that you are the soul mate and are pregnant with the child of the chosen one,
they may want to do something. Never know. — He shrugs and I spend a while absorbing his words and the sway of the sea.
How did I end up in all this?
— Am I really pregnant then? — I ask and lift my wrist, where the black line is still there.
— Yes, Roranis never make mistakes. — Your tone becomes even more serious and I feel a shiver runs down my spine.
I don't know what I think about this, because less than two weeks ago I was a virgin and poor as hell. Now I'm on what looks like a yacht, broken down, very dizzy, and pregnant with the weirdest, most selfish guy I've ever met.
— Did you tell my mother something? I ask, already hoping that have lied. I don't want my sick mother to worry.
— Klaus' assistant sent a message to his best friend, saying that you were going on a trip and that you hadn't had a cell phone for a
while, she must have passed it on to your mother. As any call can be traced, we prefer not to give too much information.
- I understood…
I take a deep breath and suddenly I notice something strange. I lift a thin sheet and realize that I'm wearing a big shirt that I've never seen in my life and no underwear. Did Vladimir see me naked?
My face heats up with embarrassment, until the memory of the club comes back to me. A lot of men saw me naked and from different angles…
— Klaus took off your wet clothes, gave you a hot bath and put this blouse — he responds, as if reading thoughts. — He didn't let any doctor touch you, so we don't have an ultrasound of his stomach, but my nephew said he knows a healer who will be able to tell if everything is okay. He prefers to trust a Persian and said he feels your baby. — From the look on Vladimir's face, even he doesn't quite understand what he just said.
— Can you feel the baby? — I arch an eyebrow, even to my face.
aching.
— After he turned into a beast, he was a little… different.
But don't worry, puppies between Persians and humans are quite common, it's only in very rich families that this isn't welcomed — he explains and I give a curt nod, unable to stop my gaze from wandering around the room.
looking for a certain male.
Where is him now?
— Driving the yacht. I'll let you know that you're awake, before you go crazy, but don't wait for him, Karina.
Your words leave me with mixed emotions.
Why?
If it was Klaus who was wrong, why am I being punished with distance treatment? He should give me a chance to confront him. Do you even care about trying to tidy things up? Or even worse, did he really lie about everything and doesn't want to find me awake so he doesn't admit that everything was even worse?
— The transformation into a wolf left him very volatile and Klaus very trapped for your safety and that of the baby, that's why I'm here now. He's afraid of hurting you.
— During the execution of that plan he tried to find crazy Dante day and night without caring about hurting me — I mumble, with a lot of sadness inside me.
— Klaus explained to me everything that happened between you and he is afraid of How will you react now that you know why he wanted a human companion. But I wanted to say that before meeting you, Karina, that male would never jump from a mansion almost twenty meters above the ground to save anyone but himself. He didn't even look down to see what he had there, he just jumped after you. I saw everything.
I squint my eyes at Vladimir, not liking his words, even though they give me a strange feeling of doubt.
— How do you think I should feel after what your nephew made me? How can I live with someone who wanted me so badly? — I
look into his eyes deeply.
— I understand your anger and your sadness, but I just wanted you to know that he He had a very difficult childhood and adolescence. — Vladimir's tone is low and authoritative. — Before we went to live with humans, the Persians had a notion of a broad family, everyone in the group took care of the puppies. But in the city, families are fierce towards each other, I did what I could for him, however, Klaus changed after the torture and didn't let me get close.
— Do you want me to forgive you?
I understand that Vladimir is related to Klaus and will defend him, but he should at least consider what his nephew did better.
— The torture affected something very deep inside Klaus and I see that this The relationship between the two of you may have resolved some of his problems. In addition to you being part of the prophecy, which talks about soul companions. He only turned into a wolf, for…
— Please, I don't want to talk about this right now. — I can stop your sentence in the middle. — What Klaus planned to do to me was sick. He wanted to let a man rape me for money, for fame, until he killed me! This is disgusting and inhumane. — My eyes fill with tears just saying that and Vladimir's face softens. — So please, just leave me alone.
He takes a deep breath, considering my request, and then gives a short nod.
— I'll bring you something to eat and drink. — He gets up from the edge bed. — In a short time we will be on the main island of the archipelago and you will see the healer.
