Guardian's Obsession (Yandere Naga x Reader)

Chapter Thirty Eight ~ Casting Off Doubt And Shadows

Y/N POV

Taking a few careful steps forward I watched Asher for a few seconds as he bowed his head to me, finally pushing out something to say myself. "Just Y/N please" He nodded shifting a little before stopping, his smile becoming more unsure. "May I come closer to you Y/N? I swear I mean you no harm" Nodding I watched him move, the shift of his coils letting me see the shift of colour in his scales again. He stopped a meter away from me, keeping his body low which even then put him a good head above me. "Its good to meet you Y/N, I have heard much about you from those in my territory. Many miss your presence but understand why you made your choice to remain here, even if it is with a male so...dangerous"

 I couldn't stop the humorless laugh, shaking my head I tried to shake off the irony of what he said. "To others maybe but not to me, besides I've lived with far worse" The smile that had been on his features slipped, I felt my stomach drop a little as his head dipped his loose fringe covering his features a little. "Of that I have no doubt. That is another reason I came here, I must apologize to you Y/N" Apologize to me? What did he have to be sorry for, he had done nothing to me. From what I knew he didn't even have any contact with anyone who had known me until now. "My brothers actions will forever leave a stain, one I wish I could help wash away but sadly I know I cannot"

I opened my mouth to try and tell him it wasn't his fault, I never got to utter a single word as he lifted his head. Those blue and gold eyes locking onto mine leaving me to feel the weight of his clear guilt. Guilt that shouldn't be his to bear. "I however will do whatever is in my power to see to it you suffer no such pain again, and I hope you will allow me to know my kin when you are ready" Oh... so that was it. He felt guilty he didn't help when Karn was hurting me, and now he thought I wouldn't want him near my sons. I could understand why he might think that, he did resemble his brother slightly. Not enough that I'd be afraid of him and definitely not keep him from meeting my sons. It might seem stupid to most but I trusted my gut instinct, it hadn't been wrong often and I was certain it was how I survived so long since my life turned upside down. "Do you want to meet them?" 

The pure shock in his eyes hardly hid the sliver of hope and joy building behind it. "You will allow me to see them? After everything my brother did to you, you are willing to allow another male of his blood close?" Again my mouth just opened to move when the sound of crying echoed behind me. I had hoped the boys would stay asleep for a while longer, but apparently my time was up. Offering Asher what I hoped was a sympathetic look I turned turned to walk back inside. "You are not your brother, you haven't hurt me and I don't plan to deny my sons their family. I need to check with Bela first, but as long as he doesn't object you can come inside and meet them now" Heading inside I follow the sound of my sons calls, my gut telling me this was the right thing to do. Only time would tell if that was true though I guess.

ASHER POV

How could this female be so forgiving? Any of our females who had been neglected or abused to the degree she had been would not have been, which was well within their rights. I had come expecting to apologise and maybe even beg to see my kin if she asked it. Mai had told me of them assuring me they had been born strong and healthy, but refused me any details. I had spent much of my time since taking over as lord speaking with those within my new lands, all spoke my brothers mate name with adoration or admiration. Some of her actions while others over the sheer fact she had survived my brothers abuse, even returning sacrificing herself for others after she had escaped him.
