Guardian's Obsession (Yandere Naga x Reader)

Chapter Twenty Six ~ Instincts That Guide You

( Y/N POV )

There was no fear when my eyes clashed with Karn's, before I would have shuddered under their heat; but now my hand lingered over my lower stomach reminding me to be strong. I wouldn't let him hurt my baby again! "You. Almost. KILLED. My. BABY!" I watched as Karn seemed stop and still at my raised voice, even I was surprised at how my voice became a roar in accusation towards him; but I couldn't stop it even if I tried. The magnitude of emotion inside me was over powering, I couldn't pin just one down as I moved back at Karn's advance; especially as he for once stilled as I did. He seemed hesitant as if he wanted to come closer, the fire in his eyes being pushed down as he kept himself in check; it was a reaction I hadn't seen before in him which gave me a touch of confidence. Karn however seemed unwilling to give up his control just yet, his tone reeking of authority even as it tried to be gentle; the two conflicting as his hands tried to offer calming gestures. "Little One you must be calm for our young, the healer assured me it is well but you must rest; return to our bed now" I felt my frown pulling harder at my lips, he was talking as if he wasn't the one to cause the harm; like he hadn't nearly killed his own child.

 I didn't even feel my feet moving until I was right in front of the large mass of coils, hitting them with both fists feeling the throb of pain that followed; no doubt hurting myself more than it affected him. "Do you even care?! My baby almost died and it was because of you, YOU almost killed your own child-" The moment the accusation left my lips Karn seemed to lose control, his hands snapping down as his coils surrounded me; the large mass kept me restrained but was far gentler than I had ever known it before. I whimpered at the hold on my wrists, unlike his hold on my body the one Karn used on my wrists was brutal; the pain screaming into my blood making me want to fall to my knees. My watering eyes locked up with Karn's as I forced myself not to look away, he was already baring his fangs at me as he moved closer; the heat of his breath burning my skin as he finally stopped just short of my skin. "Do NOT push me Mate, I know you are with young so I will treat you more gently; but I will not take this disobedience from you!" My gut burned with anger driving away the remaining water misting my vision, the tears that had burned a path down my face distracting me from the pain in my wrists; just enough to focus other sensations. Like the odd tightening in my stomach warning me I was getting too wound up, I closed my eyes reminding myself I had someone else to think about right now; this argument could turn dangerous in a split moment and not just to me.

Forcing deep breathes through my nose I re opened my eyes, glaring silently up at Karn for a moment before speaking again; this time in a slow quiet tone letting my anger seethe rather than boil. "I have never been obedient, and you have never treated me gently; I doubt you could be if you tried" I hoped my eyes burned his as I bored into his slitted pools, searching for any sign what I was saying was having an affect; finally finding a small spark of apprehension I clung to it. Finding enough resolve in that crack in his tough exterior to finish my threat. "But if you do anything to hurt my baby again... you will find out just why mothers are natures most dangerous creation" I meant every word that left my mouth, each one dripping with my own kind of venom I didn't even knew I owned; but then I wasn't defending myself. Before with my friends they had fought back themselves as best they could, I had wanted to protect them but it was a different force pushing me on; nothing drummed into my very DNA to push me to my very limits like now. It was easy to tell it was an instinct driven by hormones, the bodies way of ensuring I kept my child safe and spotted danger to both of us; and one of the many things that made all mothers dangerous. For the first time I saw my threat be taken seriously as Karn leant back, his eyes wavering along with a twitch of his lips as the apprehension I saw before reappeared; growing like a rooting week killing off well grown plants. That alone gave me strength to stand firm, pulling my hands slowly I almost let surprise show as I was released; the coils around me moving away slowly to allow me to leave. Their touch lingering as it was clear Karn was reluctant to release me at all. Turning away I headed for the bed my body already far too exhausted, the warm water had helped but now every muscle in my body felt wound tight after the argument; I could only hope sleep helped me feel better tomorrow. "Y/N" I stopped at the sound of my name a sigh leaving my lungs before I could stop it, I could already feel the slight adrenalin rush fading; refusing to show just how tired I was I only turned my head to show I was listening. "I might have harmed our young but I did not do so knowingly, I will learn from this so when you carry I am more gentle with you... but you are MINE and I will let NOTHING take you from me; not even my own blood"
