Forbidden Mate: Awakening

As the days passed, the tension in the grove seemed to remain at a certain state. Tyler was always training with the warriors whilst my father and the elders planned how the impending war would play out to our favour. All in all, our unity grew stronger as we worked together to face the impending threat.

Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there was one thing that remained constant – the growing bond between Sarah and Theo.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

I often found myself stealing glances at them when they thought no one was looking. They had a unique connection that seemed to transcend the chaos surrounding us.

Sarah and Theo made a great match. Sarah’s fiery and bubbly nature matched Theo’s calm and thoughtful nature. When they were together, it felt like they brought comfort and hope in the midst of the difficulties we were facing, not just to themselves but the people around them also.

One evening, as the sun set, I saw Sarah and Theo sitting in the garden. They seemed to be having a serious conversation they didn’t want anyone else to hear as they spoke very softly. The beautiful sky above seemed to reflect the connection between them.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to approach them. As I walked closer to them, I caught snippets of their conversation.

“Come to think of it, Theo,” Sarah said with her soft voice, “this whole rollercoaster we’re on, it’s not just about the ring or the journal. It’s about the connections we’ve made along the way. Like I never really thought I’d ever talk to your boring ass…”

Theo rolled his eyes and put on a playful grin, “And Theo of four months ago would be enamoured if he saw me now, holding the waist of a hot and tempered beauty like yourself.”

Sarah yelped, “Oh, where your sights set on a ‘less difficult’ beauty, hunh?”

“My sights weren’t set on anyone. The only thing that mattered to me was training hard, pleasing Sir Henry and protecting the grove.”

She rubbed his chest, “And now what matters to you?”

“Still the same things,” she put on a long face and then Theo smiled and held her hand on his chest, “but your safety and happiness is my priority now.”

Sarah beamed and I swear she’s never looked more beautiful.

They continued staring at eachother, and in that moment, I saw a flicker of something more – a connection that went beyond the passion between them. It was as if the universe had brought them together, to find comfort in each other’s presence, in that moment. They were meant for eachother.

Sarah reached out and gently took Theo’s hand in hers, their fingers interlocking as if completing a puzzle. “I want you to know,” she continued, “that I’m grateful for everything you’ve done. You were there for me and Lily even if you didn’t know us very well. Thank you, Theo, really; from the bottom of my heart.”

Theo’s eyes held a warmth I had seldom seen before, and he squeezed her hand reassuringly. “There’s no need for you to thank me, Sarah. Infact I should be the one thanking you. You’ve brought light into my life in ways I never thought possible. It’s because of you I try everyday to be a better person. You should know that…”

In that moment, it felt like everything else disappeared, including me (lol), and it was just the two of them in the serene garden.

A smile spread across my face.

They stayed close and talked easily with each other. They seemed to understand and trust each other completely. I felt so happy for Sarah that she had finally someone who completed her, in all sense of the word.

I felt like I was intruding in their private moment so I quietly retreated, giving them the privacy they deserved. As I walked away, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope amidst the darkness that stalked us.

Where there was hope, there was love, and where there was love, there was always a way.

Adrian.

As I laid my back on the tree, memories of happier times with Adrian flooded my mind. One memory stood out – a night in the woods, far from others. The moonlight painted a magical scene, and we walked hand in hand down the trail. We felt so free and adventurous at the time. The air was crisp, and the scent of nature surrounded us.

We had so much fun walking through the thick bushes, teasing each other and laughing along the way. Adrian’s laughter was so contagious that it filled the night with happiness.

“When last did you transform into your wolf?” He asked with his sweet voice.

“About a month ago.”

“Why wait so long? It’s not too good for your powers and form you know.” He said and pulled me closer to him.

“I know but I only transform when it’s a full moon and my wolf needs a good exercise. She’s not really that demanding.” I poked his nose and he smiled.

“I guess you’re calling me demanding now.”

“Of course I’m not.” I chuckled.

Then, we found a beautiful spot with moonlight shining down on the ground. It looked like a dance floor made just for us. Adrian grabbed my hand, and we started dancing under the moon.

We twirled and moved together, surrounded by the sounds of nature. It felt like time stopped, and it was just the two of us, sharing that magical moment together.

As the night went on, we laid on the grass and gazed at the stars shining through the trees. We talked about our dreams, fears, and hopes for the future. It was a special moment where we opened up and shared our deepest thoughts, knowing we could trust each other completely. Exactly what I saw in Theo and Sarah.

In that peaceful part of the forest, surrounded by nature’s beauty, I was sure I had an unbreakable bond with Adrian. Our connection went beyond being werewolf and vampire.

As I remembered this moment, a smile appeared on my face. Despite the challenges we faced, this memory reminded me of the love and closeness we shared.

I closed my eyes, holding onto the memory for a little longer. When I opened them. I knew I had to bring back the happiness that was gone, not just for I and Adrian, but for everyone I cared about.

I would get Adrian back.

“Lily, what are you doing here?!” Sarah shouted in a whisper to me.

I turned and saw her beside me.

“Sarah. Oh…me? I was just-”

“Where you spying on me and Theo?” She raised an eyebrow up and held her hip.

“No I wasn’t. I swear.”

“Uh-un.” She rolled her eyes.

“I’m already going in. I just needed fresh air.” I held her arm and winked, “I’ll keep the lights on for you.”

She grinned and nudged me forward as I walked back indoors.

~THEO’S POV~

The night air was cool and crisp. I had decided to confess my feelings to Sarah that night. It was the perfect time and perfect place and Tyler had given me advice earlier that day,

“Just look into her eyes, hold her hands and let it flow.”

Sounds easier said than done.

She had gone to wear an overcoat because of the cold weather so I tried practicing the lines I had come up with it.

“Sarah…oh no, no, no.. Uhum. Sarah, I just want to tell you that you’re the best person I’ve ever met in a…no, no, no! Too generic.” I slapped my forehead. At that point, I’d just swallow myself.

“What’s the matter?” I looked back and it was Sarah, standing. Shit.
