If You Feel My Love

Chapter Five: Getting To Know You

Waking the next morning, Analisa winced as she pushed herself into a seated position; she had a feeling that she was going to ache for a while after last night.

“You okay?” Fernando murmured softly as he wrapped an arm around her tiredly, he hadn’t slept much that night since he had been watching Analisa sleep; it was the first night he had spent with her and he wanted to ensure that she was okay.

“I’ll be okay, he’s done worse before now,” Analisa whispered as she glanced at him, Fernando’s brown eyes looked at her sadly; he wished that he was able to protect her.

The werewolf leaned forward and gently nuzzled his head against her back; he knew that she would tell him today about what had happened the night before.

Running a hand through her hair, Analisa glanced back at Fernando as she climbed out of her bed; she was careful not to stretch as she did so.

“Ana,” the werewolf murmured as he stopped her from heading for the bathroom, the brunette looked at him; she had a feeling that he wasn’t going to let this go.

“Tell me… I can help you,” Fernando said as he cupped her face, the brunette swallowed as she looked at him, she knew that he wanted to protect her and she didn't know if that was possible.

Rubbing his thumbs over her cheeks, Fernando watched her patiently before she sighed and nodded her head in defeat making him purr gently as he pulled her into his arms.

“What is it that you want to know?” Analisa asked softly as Fernando moved them back onto the bed, he nuzzled her gently as he held her close; he didn't care that he had known her less than twenty-four hours, she was his mate.

“What happened?” Fernando asked making her sigh and pull away from him, he watched her sadly as she ran a hand carefully through her hair.

Analisa took a deep breath as she tried to sort through her thought about what had happened the night before; she hated to dig up the past, but she knew that she didn't have a choice here.

“My uncle hosts a businessman’s get together every Friday, those who attend are people who have pleased him in some way,” Analisa said softly making Fernando nod as he rubbed a hand gently up and down her back in comfort.

Taking a shaky breath, the brunette tried to hold herself together as she wondered how to explain these meetings to someone who had never been to one.

“They discuss business trends… how to destroy their company rivals… drink… smoke,” Analisa said making Fernando nod, he wondered why she was sent for if that was all they did.

“Ever since I was little I’ve been able to see the future… I can predict the trends in business, that’s why they summon me, so that they can stay rich,” Analisa said as if knowing what he had been thinking; Fernando stared at her shocked as he took in what she was saying.

“So they use you to make themselves rich?” Fernando asked making Analisa nod as she watched him, he was currently pacing the room as if he had an idea.

The werewolf ran a hand through his hair as he looked at her, he wondered if she’d help him; he wondered if she already knew what he was planning.

“What happens if you’re wrong?” he asked making the brunette flinch as she thought about some of the things that they had done to her for hiding the truth from them.

“I’m never wrong… they hurt me when I keep things from them,” Analisa said making Fernando stare at her, a heartbroken look on his face as he dropped to his knees in front of her. The two stared at each other for a moment before Analisa spoke.

“I already know, I’ve known for years what’s coming,” she said softly making Fernando nod as he pushed himself up and kissed her. The brunette wrapped her arms around his neck as they kissed.

“I’ll keep it a secret Fernando, like I always have,” she said as they pulled a part slightly; he nodded gratefully at her before he kissed her again.

The pair slowly moved back onto Analisa’s bed as their kiss started to heat up; the brunette moaned softly as Fernando kissed down her neck.

“Nando,” she murmured softly knowing that her Governess would be coming to get her sooner or later, the brunette pulled away slight from the werewolf making him look at her.

Nuzzling his head into her neck, Fernando sighed knowing that they couldn't get caught; he didn't want her getting hurt if they were discovered.

“Don’t ask me to choose…” Analisa said making Fernando look at her, he tilted his head confused as tears filled her eyes; she didn't know if she would be able to choose between him and the human race when the time came.

The werewolf nodded gently before he kissed her, he wasn’t sure what he would do if he were to lose her over this; Analisa was his mate and he hoped that one day that he would be able to show her off.

***

Fernando frowned as he watched Analisa sleep, she had been out of her room all day doing something for her uncle and when she had returned she had been covered in more bruises and marks.

He knew that he couldn't ask her to choose between him and her kind; however he was already starting to plan on what he would do to make sure that he wouldn’t lose her.

Running a hand gently through her hair, he felt anger build inside at the bruises that littered her body; he would give anything for a chance to make Roman pay for what he had done to her.

Fernando wrapped his arm around Analisa’s waist as she curled closer to him, her head buried in his neck as she slept; the werewolf rested his head against hers and sighed.

Trailing a hand over her waist and back, Fernando allowed his head to fill with the plan that had been installed within him since the human’s had taken over.

Licking his lips as he glanced at Analisa, he knew that all hell would break lose when it happened but he hoped that he’d be able to protect her when it did and that she’d be bearing his mark by then.

“Nando?” Analisa asked softly making him look down at her; he hadn’t expected her to wake up, he nuzzled her head gently confirming that he was also awake.

“You okay?” she murmured making Fernando nod stiffly, he wanted nothing more than to ensure that her uncle never laid a hand on her again; however he couldn't do that while he was a slave.

“I will protect you Ana… he won’t get away with harming you,” Fernando said making his mate look at him tiredly, she watched him nervously as she realised what he was thinking.

“You know you can’t do that Nando,” she said making him look at her, his brown eyes searching hers for a moment before he pulled her into a kiss; he cupped her face gently as he did so.

“He’ll pay for this…” Fernando promised her as he trailed a hand over the bruise that was on her face, his eyes darkened as he looked at her; she looked so fragile and he didn't like it.

Analisa licked her lips nervously, she knew that when the werewolves started their revolution that there would be no stopping him.
