Venom’s POV
Somehow, we managed to get the worry of hell’s pit out of the way. We had gotten the news from the Alpha of the mountain wolves and we were told that Maya would be exempted and returned back to a normal life.
I assumed we would have to go through so much so as to get them to check her out, but nothing of that sort went on and we were fine already.
“How does it feel?” I asked her while we both sat side by side, spending time together had become a really frequent thing between us and it was just like we had planned it and imagined it.
“I don’t know yet, it’s still the first day and I’m not sure I can comprehend my emotions fully yet.”
The news had come to us by surprise and when we found out, everyone was all smiles and celebratory.
“This calls for celebration, doesn’t it?” My father had suggested since we were all in the same place when the news was delivered to us.
“I would advise against that because it would show our vulnerability but it’s still a good idea. Maybe we can do it without stating reasons after a while, how about that?”
He took the counter suggestion well and I celebrated with everyone there. The most emotional person that evening was Maya. She ran away as soon as the news was delivered to her.
“Go after her son,” my mom had pushed me.
“I think I’ll just leave her to herself. She’ll be fine. She just needs to process what has happened. I think that’s the issue.” I told them, but I left and went to the door where she had locked herself in.
I could hear sobs being suppressed and I was sure she was crying. After I stayed for a bit and I felt I couldn’t take in what was going on with her, I opened the door into the room so I could console her.
“Heyy, baby girl. What are you crying for? Everything has been won,” I tried to say something uplifting.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s just so much to process. I wasn’t expecting it at this time. Not even after the times I was getting moved from place to place to beg sold.” She said amidst her tears.
Her eyes looked a little swollen from the crying she had done earlier, but she still looked cute.
I moved closer to where she was and rubbed her head before pulling her to face my chest. She held me tight for some seconds, maybe minutes. That short time was one of our most intimate times and I loved it. I loved every time with her and how we worked out well.
“Everything’s fine now. See, you’ve gotten what you’ve always wanted. Your freedom, you can mow live like a normal being. You can be my mate peacefully without fearing about so much.”
Even as I spoke about the prospects of everything in her ear, I realized how much we had achieved with getting her freedom back for her. I was amazed.
She calmed herself down and when we went back outside, everyone was there to congratulate her and share her joy with her.
Maybe something felt incomplete for her, I could sense it, but I knew how much she had gone through and she could be easily justified. I watched her as she went from one person to the other, hugging them.
I was sure every person she left, she dropped some tears on their body. It was finally my turn and everyone began to hail us. It was the most typical drama out there.
“Thank you so much for standing by me.” She said as she hugged me tightly one more time. That night, we left everyone and went out for a breath of fresh air and a different environment.
We took a ride to a nearby beach which had exclusive access to the royal family and we stayed there, not being interrupted by anyone and their talks. Passerbys and their shenanigans or any other thing.
It was just us there, discussing her speaking to each other.
“Why did you pick this place for us? I’m surprised you did.” I just wanted the quiescence for you and I didn’t want something that would disturb your mind or try to invoke too much interest. Just something simple.” I explained like I had come up with a science formula already.
Maybe I came up with one because she was smiling throughout the time we spent with each other or the fact that she wouldn’t let my body go but just keep holding on to me like I would be leaving any time soon.
“Would you like to enter the water?” I asked her, it didn’t come off as much of a question since I was already grabbing her hand to lift her on her feet already.
“I’m not so sure I can swim.” She protested playfully.
“I’m sure you’ll do fine, you just have to feel the waves and you’ll survive every other thing, I promise you.” I tried to assure her. “And don’t struggle.” I quickly added.
She squinted her face in a type of way that gave off the idea that she didn’t understand what I was saying, but I led her in anyways and we started from the shallow part. I held on to her through out.
“How does it feel?” I asked her while her body was immersed in the water.
“I’m not sure,” she replied. “But it feels good and I like it.” She finally gave in.
We continued for a bit and we were making progress at getting her to swim well. She adjusted and left me alone to move by herself. Trying to turn differently and swim inside the water.
Every time I feared she would drown, she would magically pop up to the surface and my paranoia would quickly come down again, even if i made sure yo keep my eyes on her.
“Thank you very much for today, master.” She said.
