A New Beginning | Emma Petrova (TVD & TO) [BOOK 2]

Unexpected

I smile at the reflection on the mirror when I remember my wedding day. Even though there were some tragic events after our wedding, I'm happy that it united us all together. I'm still shocked Kai married the two of us, but I think he was punishing himself in some way because of what happened at his sister's wedding.

I walk inside our bedroom to see that Nik is not there and instead there's a letter laying on the bed. I furrow my eyebrows, stepping closer to it and picking it up from the bed.

I open the letter up and scan through it first, soon realising that it's Niks' handwriting. Smiling at the fact that he wrote me a letter I start reading it.

Dear Emma Mikaelson,

Along all of these years we shared many cheerful moments and others that I wish you could forget. Truth is that to me you're the only women that can complete me. Without you, I feel lost. And with a single hug you keep me sane and complete my broken soul. You better believe that even after all these years you still make me feel the same way about you. You're the only women that can make me feel this way. Family is where our story begins. In a near future we will have a better, unthreatened and stable family and our story will begin again. Nothing will separate us now, angel. I love you, Emma Gilbert- Mikaelson. Always and forever. And today marks 10 years that you let me make you mine. Today, I want to have a special day with you. Meet me downstairs, love.

Yours truly,
K.M.

I wipe a slight tear that left my eye, still smiling at the letter that he wrote me. I read it over one more time before placing a small a kiss to it and walking downstairs.

I concentrate on my surroundings to find out where Nik is, and soon I hear soft piano notes coming from the library, making me vamp speed towards it. When I reach the library, I see Nik playing and I lean against the doorframe, watching him play.

"I never meant for you to know me." He speaks softly over the music, making me stand up straight and walk towards him. "The dark me. The real me. I never meant to let you in. I shouldn't have kissed you, not the first time and definitely not the second time. I wanted to love you but at the same time I wanted you to fear me. I wanted for you to flee from me not get drawn to me." He tells me, making me frown and sit beside him on the piano.

"Why?" I question him, leaning my head on his shoulder and he swings his arm around me, pulling me closer to his side.

"You are my weakness. I loathe every single person that used you to get to me." He whispears into my ear, placing a sweet kiss to my forehead.

I sigh, knowing what he means and sometimes I'm still scared that someone will use the kids to get to us. "That's why I never wanted kids."

"I understand you, Angel. But now we have two beautiful girls. And we're going to protect them, no matter what. Together." I smile up at him, placing a peck on his lips as he rubs my side. "I'm glad you stayed by my side through all of these years."

"I'm glad I gave you a chance. I'm glad that I got to know you."  I confess, remembering everything that we have been through and the first night that we confess our feelings for each other. I will never forget that day ever.

"I couldn't agree more." He agrees, nodding his head down at me with a sly smile at me and I return it. "The light inside of you saved me along the years and made me want to be a better man for you. For our future. And even when I couldn't place my eyes on you, I still felt your presence and it was what kept me sane all of these years locked up. The thought of coming back to you and our little girls."

"I made many mistakes along my life but being with you, waiting for you and giving you another chance, isn't one of them." I grin at him as I move to sit on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck and bringing his face close to mine.
