Breaking Silence

Chapter Thirty Five

Quick little notice. I apologize for the long wait for chapters, but I am very busy now as school has reopened. Also, chapters are going to be shorter than usual so bare with me. Anyways, on to the story....

A week has flown by but it seems like it has been way longer than that. Aracel has been growing way faster than a normal child and werewolf child which has me worried, even though the Goddess had already spoken to me about that.

Every mother wants to spend time with their child, but I don't even think I have time on my side when it comes to her. She has been growing at a fast pace and now have the appearance of a two year old.

She has short, curly blonde hair and her eyes seem to brighten with each passing day. I could say that her features are a mixture of mine and Ashanti, but they are always changing but maybe that's the result of the rapid growth.

Right now, she was out playing with Ashanti in the garden while I prepared food. It was just a plain simple meal of rice and spinach with a salad bowl, since Ashanti's garden is always filled with fresh produce.

I filled up two big bowls and a small little bowl with rice before setting it on the table for it to cool off. Ashanti and Aracel should be returning shortly and I couldn't wait to see my little ray of sunshine.

For some reason, it looks like I have been returning back to my old self. My confidence slips away whenever Aracel isn't around and I just wonder whether or not that I made the right decision.

I don't know why I am having these kind of thoughts, but they just randomly pop up into my head at any time. Always leaving so many questions behind when they fade away into the back of my mind.

The door burst open as a bubbly Aracel run straight towards me, her giggles filling the room. Her tiny arms wrapped around my legs before Ashanti came strolling with a basket filled with tomatoes, carrots, peppers and peas.

"Did you have fun sweetheart?" I asked, as I lifted her up and rested her on my hip as she nodded her head at me. She didn't really speak, however, she always used sounds and gestures instead which was another thing I didn't understand. If she was growing at such a rapid rate, why wasn't her speech also improving.

"Are you hungry?" I asked as she once again nodded her head. I placed her on a chair in front of her bowl while Ashanti was already seated and waiting for us.

"You should have seen her working in the garden. She even pulled up a good amount of carrots on her own," Ashanti said proudly as I smiled at her.

"Is that true sweetie?" I asked, as she giggled before eating her food as we joined her. There was nothing to talk about as we ate in silence until Ashanti and Aracel finished before me, after all, I was always a slow eater.

Ashanti got up and went to wash his and Aracel's plates while Aracel came bouncing over to me. Her eyes a darker shade as she stared at me hungrily waiting for me to extend my arm towards her.

I stretched my arm towards her which she hurriedly took before biting into my wrist. She was greedily sucking up my blood to quench her thirst which would cause her to throw terrible tantrums.

Like the last time I fed her late, she nearly destroyed the entire house by throwing stuff in all directions. That was also the time when I realized how strong she actually was. She managed to break the bookshelf and the center table with just three hits.

When she was done drinking my blood, she let go of my arm and let out a soft yawn while rubbing her eyes. Whenever she was done drinking blood, she would always be tired right after that.

"Let's get you to bed," I said, as I lifted up her sleepy form and took her to her room. By the time I brought her to her bed, she was fast asleep as I laid her body down on her bed and pulled the covers over her.

I made my way back into the living room to see that my plate had already been washed and there was nothing left for me to do. I felt useless not having any chores or something to keep my mind busy, because the thoughts would just come popping back into my mind.

Closing my eyes, I breathed in and out as I felt arms snake around my waist pulling me into a hard chest. His hot breath on my neck as his lips began kissing my flesh. My hands wrapped around his neck, closing the small gap between us.

His tongue swirling on my skin as I bit my lip. My thoughts were now scattered everywhere as I only focused on him.

I spun around as his lips captured mine. His tongue exploring my mouth as I explored his as his hands began to unbutton my dress as the cool air came in contact with my skin. He lifted my legs off the ground and wrapped them around his waist as he carried me to our bedroom.

Then clothes came flying off as the bed creaked with every move that we made, which was a lot, as the day came to an end.
