Chapter 448 Images from the past (2)

She looked in those endlessly blue eyes directed at her, and even though that was not the face she recognized, she knew that the pleading gaze came from Sapa. Maybe the images he showed her were not true, but his desire for her to believe him was.

Liseli needed to share her side of the story. She owed him that much. She owed that to herself.

"Can I show you?", Liseli asked.

"Please.", Sapa responded right away.

And then another set of images started flashing in their minds.

It showed Liseli covering her ears with her paws in order to ignore words how Sapa moved on, found another, many others… The next scene was a small pool that acted like a television of some sort, and there Liseli saw a big black wolf running and her heart cracked when one chocolate-brown she-wolf rubbed on him, and he didn\'t snap at her.

There was a scene after scene of Sapa close to other wolves, hunting, running, and showing affection, and Liseli spoke with her voice cracking, "I mourned your death, believing that the passage of time got you while I stayed in the realm where the time was frozen. But then I heard that Selena gave you immortality and some of my sisters advised me to stay strong because as long as I live, we can reunite. But then I saw these. Tell me, Sapa, what\'s the point of me living if you forgot about me? You are my other half, and only with you I can be happy, but how can I be happy when you moved on?"

"I didn\'t forget about you, Liseli. I didn\'t move on. You should know that what you showed me was not true."

"Are you saying that I\'m making things up?"

"No. But I believe that Selena would test you. Test your resolve. Just how she tested mine."

"I want to believe you, Sapa, I really do…", her voice trailed. For centuries, she heard all kinds of stories and even saw images. Were all those really lies?

Yes, Selena separated her from Sapa, but she was a teacher, a mother, not someone who would lie. At least that\'s what Liseli thought. If Selena thought that Sapa was bad for Liseli, Selena might keep them apart but to break Liseli\'s heart with deception only to get her way was too cruel. Would a mother do that to her daughter?

Liseli flinched when Sapa touched her cheek with the tips of his fingers.

"Take as much time as you need, Liseli. I waited for so long, and some more won\'t make a difference. Now that I know you are here, my heart sings with joy." He glanced up to see the moon emerging from behind tree canopies. "While you are sorting out your thoughts, keep in mind that Selena always cherished you and she wouldn\'t allow you to meet me like this if she didn\'t think I\'m worthy. I hope you know my feelings for you didn\'t diminish and… I missed you."

Those words were loaded with heavy emotions that made Talia\'s stomach sink. She really wanted to comfort him, yet she knew that only Liseli could do that.

Talia felt her consciousness shift, and she was back in the driver\'s seat, blinking at Damon who smiled at her.

"Hi, kitten", he murmured. After the bomb how his wolf and Talia\'s have history, Damon was shaken. But he was also relieved to see that her eyes stopped glowing. His kitten was back.

"Hi", she responded absentmindedly, still processing what happened in the last few minutes. Or was it the last few hours? She was not sure.

"Are you alright?", Damon asked with concern obvious in his voice.

She wanted to say that she was fine, but she couldn\'t lie. Even without the overload of information, there was a whole new set of emotions running through her. It made her feel like her senses got an upgrade to the next level, and she was more aware of everything. Was that the effect of her wolf being present?

"I\'m not sure. How are you doing?", she asked in return.

"It\'s a lot to take in." For all of them. "How is Liseli?"

"She is confused, relieved, angry, hopeful. I think she will be alright.", Talia responded. "How about Sapa?"

"This is the first time my wolf gave me anything other than patronizing or angry. He is happy."

Talia pressed her lips into a line. Happy? Of course, he would be happy. Damon\'s wolf lived forever without his mate, without knowing how she was doing or if they will ever meet again, and now that wait was over.

She tried to imagine how she would react if that were her and Damon; if someone separated them right now and kept them apart; if she heard stories about how he moved on and found someone else. Talia was confident that her love for Damon wouldn\'t waver, but what about her trust in him? She was not sure, and it was eating her alive.

Talia wanted to believe Damon\'s words that she was his only one, she wanted to believe that nothing would ever change that because she was confident that Damon was the only man for her, and ever will be. However, she already doubted him more than once, and if she needs to withstand the trial of time…

"Hey, hey…", Damon said while scooping Talia into his arms and lifting her to sit on his lap.

"What are you thinking about?", he asked while tightening his hold on her. Her body was not cold, yet she was shivering and pressing herself into him, seeking his warmth and protection.

Talia gripped his back while taking deep breaths of his addictive scent, enjoying the safety of his firm embrace, and hoping that they will never be apart. She didn\'t want to tell him that her insecurities were resurfacing. "I\'m just sad. The story of Liseli and Sapa is so…"

"I know.", Damon murmured against her temple and then he kissed her there. "But they are together now, and that\'s what counts."

Talia nodded and buried her face into his neck, seeking comfort because her nerves were still strung tightly.

She let out a shaky breath. "Damon?"

"Hmm?"

"What would you do if we can\'t be together?"

"I would flip the heaven and earth to find you, and I wouldn\'t stop until I do."

Talia knew he meant it. She was confident that she was the luckiest girl in the world as their mate bond allowed her to feel how much he adored her. She blinked her tears away. This was not the time for crying, even though those would be tears of joy.
