Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 146

Nora

My power activated.

I'm time traveling with Blake merged with me. The plan worked, but I still can't find it in me to fully relax.

Going back in time is the weirdest feeling ever. I had Raphael threaten my life to activate the power, and now I'm surging through what feels like warm bubbles with images from my life. I see my school, past boyfriends and dates, and friends I've made, and every memory is breaking.

Disappearing.

Vanishing.

These things will never happen again.

I look around and grow sad from all the memories that are getting destroyed by going back in time. My heart and power are taking me to the time before my relationship with Lily was ruined.

But it seems we will be traveling further back in time than I initially thought, making me feel incredibly lonely.

I miss Leo already. His touch and his voice. Those lips...

'Hey, don't cry, Blake says from within me. His voice is gentle. 'At least I'm here. I will be with you from the start to the finish, even if Leo won't be onboard from the start.

A smile tugs on my lips. 'You know, I actually feel better having you travel with me... But it's pretty weird and embarrassing that you're here and able to see all of my memories... 'Are you really embarrassed?'

'You've seen every moment of my young adult life...

'True...

'Yeah, I'm afraid you will leave me after finding out I'm a total klutz and kind of an idiot!'

There is laughter. 'If anything, we are better friends than ever, little wolf. I've seen the most embarrassing moments of your life, and I think I've figured you out...!

'You have?'

'Yes, you've been lonely your entire life, Nora. So I have realized you won't miss the life you're leaving behind. This second chance isn't only good for saving Leo and your sister from the darkness. It will also save you from loneliness!

Right at that moment, my eyes fly open. I'm sitting inside a bright room and immediately recognize it as my old apartment. It means I'm attending the school at Black Howl City.

After finding out I was bullied, my parents helped me buy it, and under William's supervision, they let me live inside an apartment at an extremely young age.

"So I got the apartment. This means the first demon is defeated. William and Rebecca are together, waiting for their first child... I could be anything between the ages fourteen and twenty..."

"You're fourteen," Blake replies, and I peer down to find him sitting on my lap with a sleepy expression. He looks the same, probably because he doesn't really age that quickly.

A hesitant smile takes over my lips. "How do you know that?"

"When I was still inside you, I saw your latest birthday and stuff... You're fourteen, and you're going to be the new girl at school this semester. But like we both know, I think you should change your mind and go back to attending your school in Lunaris." "Yes, that's the plan..." I grimace. "I can't feel my wolf..."

Blake's lips curl into a reassuring smile, tapping my leg. "She will be ready when you're sixteen or something. That's a normal age to awaken, but don't worry. You still got me even if there is no wolf."

"Oh, we can still merge?"

"Of course..."

My legs are bent. I'm sitting in the lotus position, which makes it possible for Blake to get comfortable in my lap.

A yawn leaves his lips, and the fairy smiles. Stretching his iridescent wings and then laying down like a dog, all bundled up. He reminds me of a pretzel, and I stroke my finger down his back.

Such a fascinating creature. Blake can bend his size at his will, and he is also capable of controlling the water element. Powerful, yet gentle.

My voice goes soft. "And you don't mind helping me?"

Blake relaxes under my touch, seeming to like the attention. His black hair is spread over his back, and his eyes are closed. I carefully brush it over his shoulder in awe, still not used to his smaller size. Blake is cute, though.

"You and I are a team, Nora. Of course, I will keep the bullies away from you. No problem. We will also use water magic if your sister or Leo tries something."

"Really? You don't mind doing that for me?"

"I'm not leaving your side," Blake cracks one eye open and hands me an easygoing smile. "You made me your most trusted companion in the other timeline, and I will keep that role. Consider me your beta. Even though I'm not a werewolf, I'm your most loyal friend. More than that actually. Maybe you should call me your fairy godfather?"

Tears swell up in my eyes, and I laugh a little. "You're so nice... But I refuse to call you that..."

"Hey, no crying!"

"I can't stop the tears!"

"You should be smiling!"

"I'm smiling on the inside! You being here made me emotional!"

"Emotional?"

"Yes, because you're nice and I just want to hug you!"

Tenderly, I pick up the fairy from my lap with careful movements. Blake doesn't even fight me but chuckles and rubs his cheek against my chest as I hug him.

I kiss the top of his head. "Thank you for coming with me."

"You're welcome."

"You really are amazing," my eyes are closed, and my lips are caught in a bright smile. "With your help, I think I can make a huge difference even without my wolf."

"We definitely can, and if we are lucky, I can make your wolf wake up earlier than expected. But then you will need to train with me, and it won't be easy."

I hold him up, eyeing his face. There is no hint of hesitation. Blake looks entire serious, yet I whisper. "But it's possible?"

"Of course," he flashes me his pearly white teeth in a smile, unbothered by being held up like a toy. "But it will take a lot of discipline and uncomfortable training hours."

"I think... I think I can handle that."

"I know you can..." Blake yawns yet again, and his expression turns sleepy. I realize it must have been harsh for him to travel with me.

"Are you tired?"

"Very," Blake replies, studying my face with a curious expression. There is something like humor dancing in his eyes. "Do you mind if I sleep in your bed? I promise not to size-change, and hopefully, it won't be awkward for you."

"Of course, you can sleep in my bed..." I blink repeatedly then. "Wait, why would that be awkward?"

Blake has already tumbled out of my lap and is busy pulling a blanket over him. Daylight is dancing through my curtains, but the birdsong and the light give the room that coziness needed for a great nap.

"I'm still a man, Nora," Blake tells me, and his lips form this amused smile when I stare down at him. He seems to repress the urge to laugh at my reaction.

I take a deep breath. Suddenly, my heart is pounding. "Of course, I know that you're a guy-..."

Blake snorts to interrupt me. "I'm messing with you, Nora. I'm only interested in my mate, and you're interested in yours. You're also way too young to be having boyfriends."

"Oh," I blush. "That's right."

He smiles again. "Right, anyway... I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, we should find our way back to Lunaris, okay?"

I hand him a smile back. "Definitely."
