Chapter 21:
In Azar’s head: Once our lips touched, we couldn't stop kissing. God knows for how long we stayed here like this. Not that I'm complaining, of course. Kissing her always was and always will be the most divine thing in the world. My addiction.
In Amaya’s head: After all those sweet words and confessions of love, I felt closer to him. There was still guilt in me that I allowed myself to forget him. But I'm human after all. When I came to the bar I didn't know what I would see. My dream seems so real that I was convinced it was a premonition. My blood was boiling. I wouldn't be able to survive seeing him with another woman. I'm glad I got rid of that aubergine.
Miranda: “What's going on? Again? I see this becomes a habit for you too. You gave us all a heart attack and we ran like crazy and what do we see? You two, making out!!”
Thorne: “Miranda!”
Miranda: “Don't try to stop me. You know how scared I was for her. And you young lady! I need you to explain yourself right now! Don't you dare chuckle at me. I was out of my mind when you left like that. Now talk!!”
Amaya: “I'm sorry for getting you worried. Long story short, I had a really strange dream. I saw Azar kissing Christine. I'll tell you about it later.”
Azar: “Okay.”
Amaya: “So I ran here.”
Miranda: “Is everything okay?”
Thorne: “You remember everything?”
Amaya: “Yes.”
Azar: “She does.”
Miranda: “I need all the details.”
Thorne: “Mir, baby.”
Miranda: “What?”
Thorne: “You can talk in the morning. She remembers him. They need alone time.”
Miranda: “You really are a ‘thorn’ in my ass. (all laugh)”
Amaya: “Nice pun.”
Thorne: “You know my name is not spelled that way.”
Miranda: “Well close enough. I think it describes you well enough either way.”
Thorne: “I think it describes something else. Weren't we in the middle of something, my mate? I think we should rush back and continue. Exactly what I thought.”
Miranda: “You and I are not done. We can go now, mate. Hurry up!”
Thorne: “See you in the morning, love birds. Have fun.”
Azar: “What’s the matter, doll?”
Amaya: “It's nothing.”
Azar: “I can feel that something is off, just tell me. You know you can tell me anything.”
Amaya: “Will we ever have what they have?”
Azar: “We already do, little flame.”
Amaya: “How can you say that when you know it's not true. We haven't completed our bond. Not even half of it and even if we do you'll be the only one to mark me. I'll carry your mark. a sign that I belong to you but you'll never carry mine. I can't mark you. For others it'll always be like you're free.”
Azar: “I know what you mean but I promise you that we’ll find a way. Don't worry about our future now. We agreed we’ll take things slow at our own pace. We’re extraordinary after all. Please don't be sad, you got your memories back. I was scared that it'll never happen and that I lost you forever.”
Amaya: “That reminds me…you were so sad that you got drunk in a bar with that girl?!”
Azar: “I was all alone. I thought drinks gave me some comfort and then she came and I didn't see any problem in her joining me.”
Amaya: “You didn't see the problem? You have a mate, so what? I forgot about you and you go around with other women?”
Azar: “It's not like that. I told you I had nothing with her and you've seen me reject her again but I don't know. It was nice talking to someone who understands. She lost her mate the day she met him so she could understand my pain. We just talked. I didn't expect her to make a move on me again. I thought I was clear with her the last time.”
Amaya: “Maybe I’d feel even sad for her but not after seeing her try to kiss you. Twice!!”
Azar: “Please, doll. There's no reason for us to fight over this. I'm sorry I was in her company but that's it. I swear I didn't have any intentions.”
Amaya: “Maybe you didn't but she obviously did.”
Azar: “Little flame what's with you and that anger?”
Amaya: “She wanted something that's mine. You're mine!!”
Azar: “Amaya…your eyes!! They changed again. I wasn't crazy the first time. I see it clearly now. What's happening?”
Amaya: “I don't know. I really have no clue what's going on but I do feel strange. What do you mean my eyes changed?”
Azar: “It happens only for a split second and it goes back to normal.”
Amaya: “How? You're freaking me out. My color changes?”
Azar: “No but under them veins appear and it seems like your eyes are glowing.”
Amaya: “What does that even mean?”
Azar: “I have no idea. I've never seen it like that before.”
Amaya: “What is it?”
Azar: “My mom's eyes change like that when she's really angry.”
Amaya: “But she's a hellhound. I'm human.”
Azar: “Doll…I don't think you're completely human.”
Amaya: “That's not possible. My family…they hated me because of it. If I was something else they wouldn't have treated me the way they did my whole life.”
Azar: “Let's go home, you seem exhausted.”
Amaya: “Will we ever find out what's the deal with me?”
Azar: “We will.”
Amaya: “You sound so convincing.”
Azar: “Didn't we say that we're in this together? No matter what happens, we’ll figure it out. We can go tomorrow and talk to my parents.”
Amaya: “You're right.”
Azar: “I didn't have the chance to tell you how stunning you look.”
Amaya: “I know. Let's go now. Stop looking at my ass and walk.”
In Azar’s head: Guilty as charged. (Azar’s room)
Amaya: “I think you need help with your clothes.”
Azar: “Go on. Like what you see?”
Amaya: “Extremely.”
Azar: “I can't explain to you how happy I am you came to get me. If I'm being honest, I almost fainted when I saw you.”
Amaya: “That reminds me. (Amaya smacks Azar)”
Azar: “What was that for?”
Amaya: “For kissing that bitch.”
Azar: “What the hell?! I never kissed her.”
Amaya: “You did. You were kissing her so passionately.”
Azar: “You completely lost your mind. What are you talking about? When did it happen?”
Amaya: “In my dream.”
Azar: “What?”
Amaya: “You heard me right.”
Azar: “You slapped me because I was kissing her and your dream?”
Amaya: “Exactly. You're not allowed to cheat on me. Not even in my nightmares. Now be a good wolfie and wait for me to change.”
In Azar’s head: She's so precious.
Blaise: “We have our make back.”
In Azar’s head: We do, Blaise, we do. Finally.
Amaya: “I want you…bed, now.”
Azar: “I want you to, so much but not yet, little flame. You're not ready for me. Trust me.”
Amaya: “Ugh!! We’ll just kiss.”
Azar: “Then your wish is my command. (in the woods)”
Man: “My dear, beautiful Amaya. I'll be there soon.”
