Tricky to answer, but to be honest, yes. As a shifter, if you hate someone, you fight against them that way. Witches don't fight head-on. They're sneaky and will do everything they can to set you up so that by the time you realize what's hitting you, you're fucked.
"Like assassins."
Essentially.
"I hope she can find the happiness she yearns to embrace."
Her words made me smile slightly as I lifted the lingerie set off the rack.
She'll find it. I know how strong Aurelia is. I think she just needs to acknowledge that she's not alone. Funny how I'm thinking that. I feel a bit hypocritical.
"You're not. You were briefly blinded by the intense despair and weight of having a wolf that was locked within yourself. At least you're now free and surrounded by light and love. You learned from your mistakes and the damage your actions can do to those you love and cherish. Experiences make you stronger, wiser, and a better person. Though I'd never wish you to experience such again, you should not punish yourself for what's already been forgiven."
Thank you, Bria.
"I'm here to support you."
Her warm words helped me feel more relieved as I admired the set.
"I wish we could do something about her assistant though," I quietly muttered. "I wonder if Neo would like this."
"If it's on you, I like it."
I flinched and looked over my shoulder to see Neo casually standing there. My eyes widened as I took in my red blindfolded mate. He wasn't trying to blend in with his outfit that consisted of a red t-shirt with a splattered black design in front, black jeans, and red runners.
He looked so casual and yet fucking hot, making it hard for me to not drool over him -while taming my obvious spike of arousal with his arrival.
"Neo, what are you doing here?"
"Hello, Sweetness," he greeted with a smile.
I further blushed and replied, "Hello, mate."
He didn't hesitate to move to stand next to me and lean right over to kiss me on the lips, all while his arm hooked around my waist.
"Are you buying lingerie because you're not wearing panties?"
For once in a long fucking time, my whole face was red as fuck, while our closeness was already making it hard for me to think.
"N-N-No?!" I stuttered and put the set of lace lingerie between us so I could think properly for a few seconds. "Do you actually like it?"
"Do you know what section you're in?"
"Um, no," I replied and lowered the piece to stare at his blindfold like I could see his eyes. "I just came here out of instinct."
He leaned in to whisper, "The lingerie glows in the dark." His husky response sent chills down my spine. "But more importantly, I can see every detail without my sight."
"No fucking way," I whispered and leaned back to see his smile.
"Mhm."
I gawked at him before turning my attention back to the rack -and proceeding to grab every other color.
He burst out laughing, and I ended up losing it as well. The two of us laughed like this was our date. I noticed since our bond activated that Neo was calmer and would express his emotions more. It made me feel extra important in this blossoming relationship because I was contributing to a chance I felt wouldn't have transpired without this unique connection.
I wondered if I could have this connection with the others, if I could get to learn more about each of them and unravel all these tiny moments where our emotions flourished without the pressure of the world.
Just us getting lost in the moment like normal individuals in this world of scrutiny.
