The Heart of a Dancer (Book 1 of The Heart of Three trilogy)

-Eleven-

Hanna P.O.V
It has been exactly one month since I returned back home and back to my mate. He is slowly getting better but slower than a human would heal. I haven't moved from my spot only to shower and I never let go of his hand unless food was being shoved in my face.

I would talk to him, tell him about my new family, tell him how much I love him, but I would mostly cry. I was currently washing his face with a wash cloth, wiping away all of the grime and sweat and I was telling him about how I met my new family.

"I walked down the stairs and saw my padre playing with my fratellino. Well, more like they were making each other's faces their canvases. My padre blamed it on Xavier and the look on my fratellinos face was priceless. Anyway, Xavier pointed me out and then my padre realized I was there and hugged me and told me how beautiful I was. I didn't believe him and still don't believe him. I am just average. I am no Tallinn or Crystal or Holland, even Holly is better looking than I am. I see why you rejected me. I am as plain Jane as they come.

"Anyway, enough of that merda, back to the storia! So my padre called my fratelli downstairs. Suddenly, Benson tackled me and spun me around. I then told him to get his fat arse off of me and he was instantly off of me and looking at me like I killed a puppy right in front of him-" I said but was suddenly stopped by coughing from below me. I looked down to see Jax was breathing heavily and he was for some reason freaking out.

"Shh mio amore. Calmati, io sono proprio qui." (T: Shh my love. Calm down, I am right here.) I said soothingly, rewetting the wash cloth and stroking his face with it. He started to calm down and his breathing went back to normal. That was strange. I will ask the doctor about it when he comes in to check on Jax.

"You know, you really aren't as plain as you think you are, my beautiful mate." Said a dry, cracked voice. I gasped and looked down at Jax, to see his eyes open and looking at my face. Tears rolled down my face and Jax reached up with his thumb and wiped them away.

"Why are you crying beautiful?" He said concerned. Why was he being so nice to me and why does he care? It must be the medication, so I will take what I can get.

"You have finally woken up amore mio. You have been in a coma for a month today. Mi sei mancato." (T: I missed you) I said, trying to hold back my tears. He reached up, grabbed my waist and pulled me down on the bed next to him.

I let out a squeak as I landed next to him. He chuckled at the sound and leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Well I think that you are gorgeous, even when you are crying. You are not plain, everyone is plain compared to you. You don't understand how beautiful you are to me. When you step foot into a room the whole room gets brighter. I am so sorry that things had to start off so badly. I didn't want to do those things but I had to. You will learn soon I promise." He then kissed my forehead. I was frozen. I wanted to love him, I do love him, I just don't want to get hurt again. I turned so I was looking up at him and tears started to fill my eyes.

"Un cattivo inizio ha una brutta fine." I said to him sadly.

"What does that mean?" He said with a hint of worry in his tone. I got free of his arms and started walking to the door.

"It is an Italian proverb, it translates to, 'A bad beginning has a bad ending'. I will go tell the doctor you are awake now." I said and shut the door before he could say anything.

"Well I think that you are gorgeous, even when you are crying. You are not plain, everyone is plain compared to you. You don't understand how beautiful you are to me. When you step foot into a room the whole room gets brighter. I am so sorry that things had to start off so badly. I didn't want to do those things but I had to. You will learn soon I promise." I said as I leaned down and kissed her forehead.

She froze and was still for awhile then she suddenly mumbled in a sad tone,"Un cattivo inizio ha una brutta fine."

"What does that mean?" I asked worriedly. I watched as she got up and walked to the door.

"It is an Italian proverb, it translates to, 'A bad beginning has a bad ending'. I will go tell the doctor you are awake now." She said quickly, with a hint of sadness in her voice and shut the door before I could say a word. I was speechless. She thinks that if she gave me a chance it will end badly? I really messed up, big time. I ran my fingers through my greasy hair in frustration. I have to win her back, but how?

Just as I thought that, there was a knock on the door. I told them to come in and in stormed an older man, with a calmer woman following after him. He slammed the door shut and turned and looked at me with and angry expression.

"Stupido ragazzo! Ho intenzione di ucciderti per quello che avete fatto! Sei un idiota. Come può un compagno di fare una cosa simile a lì altra metà, la loro anima gemella?!? È poco idiota, voglio scatto il collo ma non può, farà il suo sconvolto!" (T:You stupid boy! I am going to kill you for what you have done! You are such an idiot. How could any mate do such a thing to there other half, their soul mate?!? You little douche bag, I want to snap your neck but I can't, it will make her upset!) Yelled the angry Italian man.

"Caden, calm down. You yelled at the ragazzo in Italian. Let me speak, you go and sit down and calm down amore mio." (T: boy) Said the woman gently. The man huffed and went and sat in the far corner of the room and he began to shoot me death glares. The woman sat down in the chair that Hanna was sitting in and began to speak.

"Hello, I am the Moon Goddess or otherwise known as Arabella. That is my husband, the Sun God and his name is Caden. Now I am going to tell you a story and you have to listen from start to finish with no interrupting and I will answer any questions at the end, ok?" Said Arabella with a small smile. I was shocked that the Moon Goddess and the Sun God were sitting in the same room as I was.

Arabella began telling me their story and by the time she was finished, my mouth had fallen open in shock.

"So Hanna is your daughter and has two twin sisters making them triplets and you had to separate them?" I asked. Arabella nodded and waited for me to ask all of my questions.

"When will she meet her sisters?"

"When something tragic happens to them in their lives. Hanna, for example, was rejected by you and was pushed down five flights of stairs. I consider that pretty tragic." Said Arabella in a sad and disappointed tone.

"Look, I know I messed up. She practically told me I did. She quoted an Italian proverb that said 'A bad beginning has a bad ending'. She probably won't even give me a chance I messed up so badly." I said on the verge of tears.

"Ah that's my girl. But she forgot another proverb,' Amore domina senza regole.' That translates to 'Love rules without rules'. Keep fighting for her. But I do want an explanation on why you did what you did. Give me your hand." The Sun God said from the corner as he rose up from his position and walked towards my hospital bed. I held out my hand and I let him take it.

He closed his eyes and began to search my brain, a power that all gods and goddesses have. As soon as he found it he opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Your aunt has always been evil, it was right for you to keep this from her. She mustn't know too soon. That is her biggest enemy right now and I don't think your aunt knows about her. So you treat her as you see fit and we will support you. Just try not to hurt la mia bambina." (T: my baby girl)He said and walked out the door with his wife in tow. I sat there in shock and asked myself the same question over and over again: How does The Sun God know my aunt?
