Chapter 759

How was it possible to be so enraged at someone and yet simultaneously want to hug and soothe them? Natalia's heart broke for Agony, but another part of her wanted to stomp on his shins. She surprised me with how strong her feelings were. She would have said she didn't care what he did before she saw him cut himself beside the lake. When she first noticed his bleeding, that was when it changed.
Something deep inside had broken free. Some part of her had felt pulled towards the volatile Vârcolac. She didn't understand what it was, but something had connected between them in that moment. Now she was just confused and hurt at him opening up and then turning on her. She wished her mother was here so she could speak to her about it. She knew it was forlorn to wish. Her mother wouldn't even know who she was if she were here. Still, she needed someone to talk to and she didn't know who to turn to.
"Is everything okay, Tali?" Dara asked, coming to sit beside her.
