Diamonds for Tears

Where is Daemon?

Matteo

My wolf is furious at me. He stopped talking to me since that day at the lake. Where I fell asleep.

Rose, I hope she is ok. It is all my fault. Why did I have to sleep?

But I cannot change that. What happened is in the past and I can’t change it. Problem is I don’t know what happened. She was fine, no injury, no weird smell. I checked, hell, even the doctor checked. He took some blood to run tests. But everything came back clean, except for a mild anaemia. She is fine.

She is fine. I kept repeating it like a song in my head. But my wolf will not come out. He is so far gone; I can’t even shift.

Rose must feel something is up, because she is looking at me with fire in her eyes, like she is scanning me. Maybe she is looking for Daemon, after all, she is a wolf-whisperer.

Here, I thought that my wolf needed his mate. That what I feel for Rose is nothing more than the bond. But it is more than that. I am starting to fall for her. I have been since I meet her. There is something about her that draws you to her, the way she looks at me like I am the most important person in her life. The way she likes to look into your eyes when she is talking. The way she gets so passionate when something is important to her. The fire in her eyes, her hazel, brown eyes, they have such a beautiful colour, sometimes they appear to be green, and sometimes brown.

I have to tell her how I feel. Even without my stupid wolf. If he does not want to come out, fine stay there hidden.

The fact that she slept for 3 days straight got me a little worried. Ok, I admit it, the big bad wolf got a whole lot worried. So, I wanted to get more information about this wolf-spirit. Luck has it that there are no details about humans being wolf-whisperers because they all died. Why is that you ask? Well because they wanted power, and by definition, you cannot form a sacred ritual with evil intent.

Thinking of it logical, the doctor said she was fine. It was the elders that made me worry. Because we don’t know anything about her situation.

First thing is first, I want to take care of her. And that means getting breakfast.

„I was asking about breakfast. What do you want to eat? So that after we can go to my office and talk about all of this. About what happened. Are you ok with that?”

„Yes. Yummy. Let’s eat. I am starving.” But I felt like she was miles away.

How do I explain to her that I might have lost my wolf? And that I don’t know how to keep her safe.

Rose

Breakfast was amazing. Like always. The food is orgasmic. I mean who would not love a tomato salad with feta cheese, scrambled eggs with natural dried pork meat, cheese muffins and on top of that fresh baked bagels.

Did I mention I love to eat?

What kept me from enjoying my breakfast 100% are the thought about Daemon and what they were talking about me that is so hush, hush. At least Matteo promised to tell me after breakfast, in his office. And you know what this means, that it is a serious matter because he couldn’t say it in front of the others.

----------------------------------

After finishing that amazing breakfast. No surprize, to me, that I was getting sleepy.

Noto to myself, stop eating like a pig. Or maybe like a wolf because I do not shift and do not burn the extra fat like them.

Moving on to my problem … if you can call it that.

Just because I might be the first human to become a wolf-whisperer that doesn’t mean it is a bad thing or that I should be afraid of it.

But I get the feeling that Matteo is a little.

„Where is Daemon?” I think I caught him by surprise, he just looks at me.

„I don’t know.”

„What do you mean you don’t know? He is your wolf, it’s not like he can run if you leave the front door open!”

„I mean, since the day at the lake he just … I mean … I can’t even shift … he is mad at me for falling asleep … and that I have no idea what happened to you …”

„I’m sorry. It’s not your fault. There is nothing you could have done to help me. I sometimes black-out. It is ok.”

„No, it is not. You f*****g slept for 3 days straight. And wake up like nothing happened, like you just took a f*****g nap.”

„Do not take that tone with me.”

„I’m sorry. Please forgive me. This is not how I wanted to talk to you. I want to tell you so much more.”

He cupped my face and slowly made his way to my lips. Like I was a deer in the headlights. Like he was afraid I might run. And he kissed me softly.

„Come, I want to show you something.”

Now this I have to see. What does he want to show me that made him like a child, so joyful?
