Venom’s POV
“I found her.” I announced to the whole family as j entered the house.
Maya had been gone for far too long and at first, I had only chosen to go search for her by myself and then I planned to get more people involved the next day.
Luckily, she was found and she fell into my hands at the right time.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
My mom was the first person to throw herself at her. “My daughter, where have you been?” It was a rhetoric and a question at the same time.
Maya had narrated how she had gotten lost which sounded like the wildest thing I had ever heard, I was only grateful I didn’t lose her and nothing went wrong.
The night had ended for everyone and I and Maya were getting into the bed and pulling the duvet on each other.
Sleeping together had become a very common thing.
“Are you sure you feel well? I think your situation needs external interference. Don’t you think?”
She looked at me after what I said and I could tell she was skeptical about the whole thing.
“Maybe it’s something from hell’s pit and they’re trying to prevent me from escaping or anything. I don’t want to worry.”
The day had a taken a toll on her and it was obvious.
The matter died down and we both slept for the night. I held her closely and hoped that nothing would take her away anymore.
I had gotten extremely attracted to her and feared losing her every time. The first time, it had been sympathy, but later on, I was feeling more and more endeared to her.
“Sleep well, I love you.” I whispered in her ear, but she was fast asleep already and her mind was long gone.
I slept off too.
The next morning, I woke up to see her still sleeping beside me. I was surprised, it was unlike her. I thought about the possibility of her not desiring training early in the morning anymore after what happened.
I got out of bed and went to the living room where I met my parents. It was already their routine since we were younger and it was expected.
“Good morning dad, good morning girl.” I greeted them both.
“Come have a sit after washing your face, we would like to hold a discussion with you.” They both said in unison.
There was nothing I was more convinced of in life than the fact that they had probably planned the discussion and it was an important one.
Something was in my mind, but I doubted it. Even at that, there wasn’t really any plausible thing they would have said to me that would seem new, so j doubted myself too.
I got my face washed and drank some water, a morning routine on my part. My heart began palpitating a bit and I tried to play the drama off.
“Take a seat, darling.” My mother urged me.
I sat down and felt like a child once again. It was something then would do whenever I was younger if I had committed an offense. They called it the ‘big people talk’.
“We would like to speak about the girl you’ve brought over.” My dad started the discussion with me. Ig was just liked I had in mind and like I had predicted earlier on.
“I know we haven’t had a discussion on this before so I’ll wait on you guys stand before saying a thing.” I told them.
They looked pleased and began.
“Your father and I will always support you for whatever you desire, but you know this is an extreme scenario.”
“What do you mean, mom?” I asked her, confused at her statement.
“It’s about the girl you’ve brought over and things going on between you two. You don’t think you’ve taken things to far regarding the kind of person she is?”
“I thought you guys accepted her?” That was the illusion I always had in my mind from their behavior towards her until the statements they were currently making.
“Yes, we do.”
“But what can I do? I can’t do anything, she’s my mate and I have to accept her regardless of anything and I appreciate your care for me, but she’s my mate. ”
I saw the defeated look in my father’s face, but there was nothing I could do about it.
It wasn’t like I would sacrifice being with my mate and after the situation I found her in, I didn’t think I wanted to leave her for any reason.
“Alright, we will support you regardless of what you do. We just wanted to have the discussion with you for a bit since we never talked over it and I’m glad we did.”
My dad ended with the statement and we all parted ways to do things we did in the morning.
The rest of the day would turn out awkward after I found out that Maya had been peeping on us all along.
She saw me and went back into her room. “F**k!” I immediately exclaimed.
I went to the room and expected to be locked out, but it was opened and all I saw in there was a sunken woman.
“I’m sorry for what you heard.” I began with apologizing.
“It’s fine, you’re my master and they’re your parents.” Sh told me.
“I thought I told you to stop calling me your master. Please, stop that and I want you to know that there’s no one trying to get you out of here.” I tried to assure her.
The apologies and statements were doing little to pacify her from what I saw.
I gave up on it and decided I would just let time do the magic.
The training she had with my brothers was quite lackluster and I was sure they all figured that something was wrong with her mood since she was hardly out of her element.
They ended the training quicker than earlier and that was it for the day. I wasn’t expecting anything different and I felt entirely guilty for bringing her.
