The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 791
I felt a surge of rage coming, I think it was pent-up fear, anger, and fatigue, but I felt it coursing through my veins in those moments. It was as if I had been forced to look in the mirror and was suddenly faced with an ugly truth.
I walked up to the vanity table where my lotion and perfume were, and just like that, my wolf tried to take over when I cleared the table violently and broke the mirror. Unable to handle my reflection and emotions.
"Claudia!" Vino said and rushed to me.
He held me from behind, and I began to growl. I had reached my breaking limit.
I growled so much.
"Shhh, it's okay darling, it's okay, I am here," he said to me, holding me tightly and trying his best to calm me down. The anger dissipated, and in its place, I felt a deep sorrow and fear. I began to cry.
Vino held me to his chest and tried to calm me down. He kissed his mark on my neck, but it wasn't enough to drive away the demons looming in the corners of my mind.
I had held it together for a while and was suddenly broken.
"Please don't go," I pleaded with him, and he held me.
I pushed myself away from him, shaking my head vehemently like a mad woman trying to make sense of my thoughts, letting the words that come to mind escape my lips without restraint.
"Let's run away from here. Get the triplets, and let us leave. We can hide, and no one will find us. The King will understand. He will forgive us," I said, and he advanced towards me while I backed away until my back was against the wall.
"Claudia, please, I need you to calm down. Let's not spoil our moment like this. I need you to be strong for both of us. Please. I know you have tried, and I commend you for all you have done. I also know you are strong enough to chase the demons away. I promise I will come home to you, Claudia. I won't die. You won't lose me. I promise. If it means running away from the battle, I will do it but do not ask me not to stand with my brothers and fight. Yuri is equally my cross to bear. If Sylvester falls, he will come for the rest of us, my children too, until there is no Volkov left to claim the throne. Please, Claudia. You heard Tamia, failure is not an option for us, so I need your support. Please. I need you to be strong," he said with a shaky voice, and I saw tears welling up in his eyes.
Vino reached me and pulled me back into his arms.
"I am so sorry, my love. Had I known there was something this dangerous looming in the corner, I wouldn't have dragged you into this. I would have rejected you so you could have peace and not endure this amount of trauma. I would have walked away…" He said, and I shook my head.
"No, no.. do not take it back. Do not make what we have to seem like a mistake that you regret. Don't," I pleaded with him.
"I do not regret it, darling; I just want you to know how much I wish I could protect you from this fear," he said, and I held on to him.
"Please come back to me. Make sure you come home no matter what," I pleaded with him, hoping he would be strong enough to make that promise.
Vino gazed into my eyes and stared deep into my soul.
"You and my daughters are all the reason I need to come home. I promise you. I won't fall in Gad," he said and kissed me. I held on to him tightly. Holding on to his promise.
"Make love to me," I said, and he lifted me bridal style to carry me to bed. There were emotions words could not express.
