SILVER-HAIRED-Chapter 133: It’s a Mortal Woman Thing

"Will she be okay... will she be alright?"

"Calm down Nicklaus!"

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down, I let my beast take over me, I shouldn’t have let that happen"

"I understand Nicklaus, your beast is the most untamed dark side of you... truth be told you went too far"

"What have I done!"

"Nicklaus"

The voices, they were familiar, it was like a heated conservation. I tried to move but my body ached badly, gosh what happened, the last I remembered was Nicklaus and I was very intimate, VERY.

"Will the bleeding stop?"

"I do not know, the healers can’t figure out how, you have to calm down"

"Do not tell me that!"

I groaned, opening my eyes. I was on the bed. The curtains were down but I could see shadow movements. I instantly remembered the voices, it was Nicklaus and Celeste arguing about something.

"If the damn healers can’t do their jobs I will burn every last one of them!"

"Did you try using your blood to heal her?"

"Of course I did, if I didn’t would I have asked incompetent healers who don’t know what the F**K to do!"

Nicklaus sounded very angry, that was a first, I needed to find a way to calm him down, the feeling of him arguing with his sister I didn’t like it, siblings was supposed to get along, and more there was nothing for them to worry about for I understood the situation perfectly well, I sat up but my back rested on the pillow, gods I was exhausted.

"Nicklaus"

I saw the shadow turn, there was a prolonged silence from him like he was hesitant.

"Nicklaus"

There was another minute of silence, was he scared of coming to me?

"Nick... go, don’t just stand there," Celeste said but he did make a move. "Ugh!", Celeste came instead and the curtains automatically parted.

"Yelena... how are you feeling?" she asked gently.

My orbs were on Nicklaus standing far ahead and he didn’t meet gaze with me.

"Do not worry the healers will do their work"

"No"

"What?"

I sighed, great now I have to explain this out loud. "Yes I’m exhausted because of what happened" My gaze shifted to Nicklaus, I blushed, I cleared my throat "But it’s normal being tired after an overwhelmed night"

"I don’t think you understand the situation here, you’re bleeding Yelena"

"Yes, I know..."

She blinks trying to catch up with me. "Seems like you know what’s happening to your body"

"Yes and I assure you it’s not severe as you think it to be... so Nicklaus I want to see you please"

He sighed heavily before his gaze fell on mine, I sighed feeling relieved but he still made no effort to come to me and that hurt me. But I needed to explain to them, this wasn’t as critical as they thought it to be, gods this was embarrassing, but I have no choice.

"As a woman and Mortal, a very fertile one, I’m obligated to see whatever is happening right now to me, monthly"

"What?" Celeste said with wide eyes.

Nicklaus stilled where he was, I resisted the urge to laugh because this was funny, Nicklaus had no idea and more importantly, Celeste didn’t.

"So whatever is happening to me right now is not as a result of what happened, but a natural cause of a mortal woman"

Nicklaus let out a breath of relief like he was holding it in.

"I’m sore from the event but the blood is a totally different thing"

"My word! Do all Mortal women experience such?" Celeste asked with wide eyes. I nodded and then my abdomen twisted in pain, I groaned holding onto it.

"Are you in pain?" Nicklaus asked he was suddenly beside me, worry flushed his features, I forced a smile.

"Usually before this I take something so I won’t feel the pain but-"I groaned, gods so this was what it was like if I weren’t prepared, Olivia always made sure this never happens, but right now this wasn’t Mortal Olivia but Vampire Olivia.

Nicklaus held me tightly but he was shaking. "Nicklaus, this is not your fault... this is natural", but he didn’t say anything, his looks were still and I saw regret?

"Yelena you must tell us what you need to see through this and how long does it take"

"Three days at top"

"What?" she almost screamed, before clearing her throat. "Very well... Tell me what you need"

☆☆☆

Olivia came by and I was able to explain everything to her and she seemed to understand the situation quickly and brought everything to my request, Celeste seemed to adapt although I could tell she was still bothered by it, but Nicklaus haven’t, I had a feeling he was still blaming himself and he wouldn’t even near me.

I turned on the bed still in pain from what happened last night and cramps too, next time I would have to prepare to avoid the pain, gods I can’t wait for it to be over. I rubbed the spot Nicklaus was supposed to lay on, I sighed, that does it! He can’t just avoid me like this, we are supposed to talk about what happened not to avoid it.

I was already off the bed, marching to his office, which he purely preferred to spend his time in than with me. I folded my arms standing in front of the desk, he shifted his gaze to me and he sat up abruptly, worrying, flushing his features.

"You should be in bed"

"You’re not there... it’s like sleeping on a cold bed without my husband"

He looked away. "Forgive me," his jaw tightened, he was still tense. "But I have so much work to do"

I did not expect him to say that something was really wrong. "Nick-"

"I will join you when I’m done"

I frowned, but I knew he planned to bury himself here. "Fine then, have fun with work!" I walked away, I had expected he would stop me but he didn’t.

"Ugh!"

☆☆☆

I groaned curling in a ball, the pain was still prominent but it was subsiding a bit, I could finally breathe now, I sat up taking a glass of water, sighing in relief, times like this I wish I was like the Vampire maidens, they did not need to worry about stuff like this. Nicklaus hasn’t come to bed for the past hour, I was hurt and angry by his actions. Of course, I knew his work was important but I needed to speak with him. I expected us to talk about this but NO he chooses to avoid me.

"Yelena"

I froze hearing his voice from behind, but I had no intention of turning, I was still upset by the way he was acting.

"Shouldn’t you be indulging yourself with work? As it seems overly important right now", I got silence in return.

"Do not worry about me, I will go to bed alone"

"Yelena"

"We should talk", I faced him, he looked away.

"What this is about, what happened last night I’m not angry, I’m upset you do want to talk about it"

"Forgive me Yelena..." he came towards me to the bed, taking my hand. "I lost control I shouldn’t have-"

"You were always holding back weren’t you"

His gaze met mine, I could see the sadness in his eyes and regret. "I want nothing more to be gentle with you believe me, what I did was-"

"You’re always gentle with me Nicklaus, you love me so, but..." I sighed, and then a blush tainted my cheeks. "That doesn’t mean you can’t be rough with me sometimes," I whispered.

"You do not mean that do you?"

"I agree I was surprised, stunned even about how you..." I gulped, I was never the one to talk about shameless things. "Truth is, I enjoyed last night even if you were rough, it made me know that you were holding back and the reason for doing so"

He sighed. "Yelena from the moment I meet you centuries ago my beast has never known solitude,"

"What?"

"Not in a bad way trust me... when vampires have their mate, their beasts are usually possessive and aggressive, in ways of loving their mates and protecting them, the mate’s soul calms them in time"

"Then why have yours not calmed down?" I asked.

His eyes grew wistful. "It did... centuries ago before you" his jaw tightened, I subconsciously tightened my hand against his.

"When I lost you... it was hard Yelena, so hard, in time my beast got darker and untamed, I have the strongest, and it’s hardest to tame, even in your past life, it wasn’t an easy journey" he confessed.

I see now, my past life as goddess Yelena with Nicklaus, it must have not been an easy love, I have thought it was all white and roses but it seems like it must have been difficult, which only made me wonder, how was I able to tame the great powerful dark god of the vampires?
