If You Feel My Love

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Dilemma

Fernando couldn't help but be a little more relaxed, he smiled as he watched the twins sleep it had been a week since they had moved into the cottage; the werewolf fought back a yawn as he held his wife close to him.

“It’s so quiet,” Analisa murmured as she moved closer to Fernando, she smiled to herself as he held her close; the two of them were alone and were enjoying the fact that the twins were sleeping more through the night.

“It is,” Fernando confirmed as he looked down at his wife, he couldn't believe how well their marriage had been doing since they had been able to spend some time alone; Flori was more than happy to have the twins so that Fernando and Analisa could spend time together without interruption.

“You know that we can have sex now right,” the brunette said making Fernando look at her as she smiled at him, the werewolf held back a groan as he realised what she was hinting at; he knew that they hadn't been intimate for a while now and he missed it.

“I think my Madre could have the twins tonight,” Fernando said as he kissed her lips, he didn't want any interruptions when he finally got to spend the night with his wife again.

Analisa nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around Fernando’s neck, she knew that this was just another step in fixing their marriage and she hoped that it would make things better for the two of them; she knew how stressed they had both been since the twins had been born and now that they were seven weeks old she was ready for more.

Analisa sighed as she ran a hand through her hair as she showered herself, she knew that she wanted tonight to go well for her and Fernando so she was making sure that everything was shaven and waxed so that she looked nice for him.

The brunette made sure that all of the shampoo was out of her hair before she climbed out of the shower, it was the middle of January and Analisa was sure that the couple were going to make it to their anniversary.

Analisa wrapped a white towel around her body before she stepped out of the bathroom, she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end as she shivered slightly; Fernando had gone to see his mother while the twins were down for their afternoon nap.

Analisa quickly dressed in a navy woven hem jumper and grey skinny jeans paired with black heeled ankle boots; she shiver slightly as she moved to dry her hair knowing that it wasn’t warm enough to allow it to dry by itself.

The brunette sighed as she pulled her hair back out of her eyes before she moved to check on the twins that were sleeping in the next room.

Analisa felt her body run cold as she spotted José standing over the crib where the twins were sleeping; she stared wondering what she was going to do, she still didn't want to be near the man that had killed her parents.

“José what are you doing here?” Analisa asked her father-in-law, she knew that Fernando had asked him to stay away but she didn't know what he was doing here when her husband had gone back to the main house.

José blinked as he tore his attention away from his grandchildren, he hoped they would forgive him for what he was about to do; he wasn’t going to lose them or Fernando and he knew what he had to do to keep them.

"I came to see you,” José said making the brunette look at him warily, she had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him after she had learnt that he was the reason that she had lost her parents.

Analisa shifted uncomfortable, she knew that Fernando wouldn’t be happy if he learnt that his father had come to see Analisa; she knew that Fernando was still struggling with his inner wolf.

“Listen José, I think you should come back another time,” Analisa said as she spotted the look that filled his eyes, she suddenly cursed at not having developed any abilities that she could use to protect herself.

José shook his head as he walked towards the brunette; he knew that he wouldn’t get another chance at this since Fernando wasn’t likely to leave her side again.

“I can’t let you pull my family apart… I’m sorry that it had to be this way,” José said making Analisa look at him confused before she found herself being slammed into the wall behind her; she choked softly as her hands flew up so that she could try and pull his hand from around her throat.

Fernando furrowed his brow as he walked into the cottage, he looked around wondering where Analisa was; he had hoped that the two of them would be able to spend some time together for lunch.

However he froze as he picked up his father’s scent, Fernando cursed as he hurried up the stairs following the scent; he knew that if his father was here then Analisa was in trouble.

Throwing open the bedroom door, Fernando felt his heart stop beating as he saw his father choking Analisa; he stared for a moment before a snarl built in his chest making José look at him.

“Nando,” José said as he tightened his grip on Analisa’s throat causing the brunette to gasp for breath as he started to crush her airway; she knew that if he continued like this then she wasn’t going to make it.

“Put her down,” Fernando snarled as he glanced over at the twins, they had somehow managed to sleep through what was happening and Fernando knew that if his father wasn’t going to stop then he would be forced to get involved.

“I’m sorry Fernando, I can’t she needs to die,” José said making Fernando pale as he realised that he was going to have to kill his father to stop him; he swallowed as he looked between Analisa and his father, he knew that there was no decision to make about this.

“Let her go José,” Fernando said as he felt his wolf taking over, he knew that his father wasn’t going to last a moment if he didn't back down now; he hoped that he wasn’t forced to kill his own father.

José stared at his youngest son knowing that this was going to be the last thing that he did, he took a deep breath as he heard Analisa struggling to breathe before he shook his head.

“I’m sorry,” José said making Fernando nod his head as his wolf took control, he couldn't bring himself to remember what happened next as he tore his father from his mate; he knew that there would be no going back now.

Analisa gasped for breathe as she clutched at her throat, she knew that her throat was going to be tender for a while since José had nearly crushed her throat and she knew how lucky she had been.

Analisa kept her eyes closed as her ears listened to the fight that was happening, she could hear the twins crying as their father was forced to deal with his own father; she knew that Fernando would be delicate after what he had done.

Opening her eyes as the room suddenly fell silent, Analisa swallowed back the bile as she spotted the blood that covered the room; she knew carefully pulled herself away from the scene before her eyes snapped to the dark haired werewolf that stood over José’s dead body.

The brunette swallowed as she realised that this was the first time that she had seen her husband’s other form.
