Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 68

“No…” I replied softly.

“The north that your compass points you to is based on magnetic fields and so it can change and can be different from where the north pole really is. However, the True North never changes, it is always in one place according to the Earth’s axis. In that sense, the True North is true,” Edward explained slowly.

“I see…” I said while staring back into his gorgeous green eyes. Why is he telling me this?

“Don’t lose the necklace, Natalia. More importantly, don’t lose your True North,” Edward warned me slowly before placing a kiss on my neck.

I nodded silently as I ran my hand around my neck to feel the necklace. Regardless of what I said, I am quite happy that Edward gave this to me. Don’t lose my True North…

“Natalia, want to go outside?” Edward asked tugging on my arm.

“Y…yeah…Let’s go,” I replied without much thought.

“Where are we going?” I asked when we stepped outside. The weather was wonderful. The level of sunlight, the cool wind, and the breathtaking scenery of the green-blue lake. It was all so perfect. I wonder if that was the reason why Edward decided to purchase this place.

“What about a stroll along the lake? We could also sit on the swing like last time,” Edward suggesting with a smile. He held my hand and for a moment it felt like we were regular lovers on a normal date.

“Let’s go for a stroll,” I said as I squeezed his large hands in mine.

We strolled along the side of the lake feeling the wind brush against our face and hair. It felt so relaxing and such a big change from being locked up in the mansion. Once in a long time, I was enjoying myself just being outside without a clear objective in mind. It was late in the day already, people back at the mansion must have discovered that I’m missing by now. I wonder…

“Reiner knows you’re with me,” Edward said without much care.

He probably knows where we are as well, Edward thought to himself. But there is no need to tell My Princess that.

“Did he call you? Is everything ok back at home?” I asked with some worry. Reiner and Lucien are probably very angry and worried right now.

“Reiner texted. I’m not surprised he knows. Don’t worry, my guess is that he’ll hold the fort and keep it a secret from Lucien until we get back. Most of my guesses are spot on by the way,” Edward said with confidence. How can this guy be so cocky?

“Then, can you tell me why you brought me to this place a while back? I think I started having those dreams because I came here…” I asked.

“Nice try but I’m not answering this question either,” Edward shot back. This is harder than I thought, he won’t budge at all on this.

“Honestly! Why do you have to make this so difficult? If you know something, why won’t you just come right out and tell me straight?!” I shouted at him. Oh no…I didn’t mean to scream at him. I knew I was in the wrong immediately, but those words could not be undone.

The green of Edward’s eyes as he stared at me darkened immediately and I swear the color of the lake also darkened to match his eyes and his temper. Edward was crazy angry right now. I’ve never seen this look on him before and I started to feel fear.

“It’s not my fault that you forgot, and I seriously mean it when I say that you won’t believe me even if I told you,” Edward said in a cold voice. Although, he did not raise his voice at me, it was clear that he was boiling with anger.

“Edward…” I started my apology when my lips were sealed with his kiss.

“Let’s continue with our ‘later’ now,” Edward said temptingly as he pushed me down into the grass with his whole body on top of mine.
