Mated To The Devil

Chapter 8: Punishment

Natasha's POV 

My breathing becomes heavier as the second goes by that it came to the point where taking a breath is becoming hard for me, and it hurts already. 

"Valerian," I whispered as I deeply closed my eyes shut and clung to my chest. 

I repeatedly cursed under my breath. "Valerian, fuck. Where are you?!"

I tried to stand up from the bed but my knees are just weak right now and I failed to. 

"I am so going to kill you." I gritted my teeth. 

A groan escaped my mouth as I caressed my stomach. It's burning. My stomach is burning from so much hunger and pain I'm feeling right now and I know even if I try to eat meat or whatever that there are it wouldn't quench the hunger I have because only Valerian could do that for me. I know. 

I swore that I don't want to feel this anymore but here I am again. 

I haven't seen Valerian for two days now and I can't help but think that he is punishing me for what happened the other day. 

Did I hurt his ego for what I did? 

Shame. I only defended my kind because what he said is so uncalled for and he was out of the line and he got mad because of that? 

Fuck him. 

"Ugh," I groaned. 

But I can't also deny that I need him right now. I need him so bad right now because I feel like dying if he won't show up anytime soon. 

'Say it.'

I quickly opened my eyes when I heard Valerian's voice. But, after roaming my gaze at the four corners of the room, I didn't see him.

'Say it, Natasha.'

The voice echoed again. 

My mouth slightly gaped when I realized that I can't see him here inside the room because he isn't here right now. I am hearing him inside my mind. 

He is inside of my mind. 

My heart started beating fast inside my chest. 

Can he read my mind now?

It can't be. No.

'Say the word'

His voice once again echoed inside my head. 

I drew a deep breath as I obeyed him. 

Being stubborn in times like this will get me nowhere because I indeed need him and I know I can be prideful sometimes but I can't think of my pride anymore, especially right now. 

"I need you," I whispered.

In just a snap, the door flung open and Valerian is already standing in front of me. 

Without thinking twice, I quickly ran up to him and bit hand. 

I automatically tasted the sweetness of his blood as I started sipping from his hand. 

It only took me a couple of minutes before I was completely satisfied. 

I was out of breath when I let him go. I quickly wiped my mouth with my hand because drop of his blood his still dripping. 

My teeth are just in normal form and I don't have fangs but I didn't know they can be so sharp and can penetrate through his skin so easily. 

Letting out a deep sigh, I looked at him. 

Our eyes met. 

That's just when I noticed that there's something different with Valerian. 

He looked. . . weak.
