Blaze was working in his office when he felt it. The pain was so excruciating, that he couldn't breathe. Only one thought came to his mind.
"Bella"
This is the pain you experience when you lose your mate or when you are about to lose her.
"No no no no" he chanted over and over again.
He found out from his guard that his Bella is visiting her parents. She informed the guard that she would call Blaze when she is done here. Blaze is actually waiting for her to call him.
But instead of that, he is experiencing this pain. Without wasting a second, he shifted in the middle of her parents living area. The scene he saw there brought him to his knees.
His Bella is lying in the pool of her blood and her parents are nowhere in sight. He crawled towards her and tried to understand what might have happened here.
"Bella?" he called her.
When he reached her, he turned her and let her head rest on his lap. There is a wide gash from where
Brandon looked at his brother who seems to be lost in thoughts. "What is it, brother? What's bothering you?" he asked. Blaze sighed. "I sensed drifters inside Bella's parents home. In fact, the whole house is reeking with their scent. And strangely, I didn't sense any human presence there" Blaze revealed. Brandon is shocked to hear his brother's words. "Drifters? Are you sure brother? As far as I know, they no longer exist?" he asked with a frown. Blaze is sure. That scent belongs to the drifters. The airy drifting scent only belongs to them. "I am sure" Blaze confirmed. Brandon is now in confusion. As far as they know, Drifters are a Myth. They have powers and they can drift between worlds and one place to another without being detected. Just like the fae who can shift from one place to another, all the drifters can drift from one place to another. It's their nature. There was a time when their services are
Bella wanted to scream and yell at everyone who betrayed her like this. The betrayal of her fake parents is hurting her the most. This is the worst kind of betrayal. Everything she believed since she was young is just a farse. They all played with her emotions. Suddenly she remembered the fairy Goddess's words. She told her that her human parents are not her real parents. 'You can call me mother' Bella remembered what the fairy goddess asked to call her. "Mother, help me mother" Bella screamed in her mind. Suddenly her surroundings disappeared and Bella is standing inside the cave. She looked in the direction of the statue and noticed that the fairy goddess is standing there with her arms wide open, in a 'come and hug me gesture'. Without thinking much, Bella ran and hugged the goddess and cried her heart out. "You were right mother. They are not my parents. They kidnapped me from my real parents. They already know I was the mate o
'Create an imaginary wall?' Bella thought with puzzlement."But mother, how can I do it?" She asked curiously.The fairy goddess smiled as if she is expecting that question."Every fae has some natural abilities, with which they are born. You are not exactly a half-Fae. You are fae, but as your father is a human, your features don't resemble the usual fae. But still, your Fae genes are dominant. So even you would have some natural-born abilities. Like warding off another fae from using their abilities against you. Every fae can do this with some practice. This wall is invisible and will not allow another fae to use their abilities against you without your permission. So all you have to do is Channel your inner strength to build a wall around yourself, brick by brick" the goddess explained.Bella frowned after listening to everything the goddess just said."But mother, how can I channel my inner strength, when I don't know how to access it?" B
The fairy goddess is satisfied to see that Bella successfully created the wall around herself. She is so proud of Bella. Slowly Bella opened her eyes and saw the fairy goddess, who is grinning with happiness. "Mother, I did it. I connected with my strength. I named it after my sister Ari" Bella shared excitedly. "Of course my dear. I know you are smart and a quick learner" the goddess praised Bella, who is beaming with happiness. "Thank you mother" Bella expressed her gratitude sincerely. "I did nothing, my child. Everything you did is with your own hard work. Don't thank me for your success" the goddess said humbly. Bella shook her head. "No mother, you are the one who is guiding me in the right way. I cannot thank you enough for that" Bella said. The fairy goddess smiled. "My child, this is just the beginning. Your shield cannot protect you from the fae who are more powerful. You need to buil
After talking with the goddess, Bella is feeling much better. She now has an understanding that she is not the only one who has been dealt with a bad hand in life. No matter the hurdles, we need to get going. We should not let the hurdles bring us down. Instead, they should make us strong. She loved her human parents, or fake parents very much. They were all she know until she met Blaze. She could only depend on them for everything. But everything she loved is just fake. Her entire life is nothing but a farse and that broke her heart. The life she lived until now is a lie. The only thing that's true and real is Blaze. Her mate and the love of her life. Now she has to start living for him. She needs to make herself strong for him. She has to be in a position where Blaze could rely on her. Slowly she opened her eyes and touched her head where she hurt herself. To her surprise, there is no wound or pain. She tried to feel for the injury around her forehead
Blaze frowned."You saw Scott? Like in a dream?" he asked her softly. He wanted to know what triggered her memories back.Bella nodded slowly. It was like a dream, but it is not."Yes, like in a dream. So that's when I remembered everything. How we met each other and how I ended up in the tower and then the kidnapping" she said slowly, trying to gauge his reaction.Blaze nodded his head slowly. There is nothing for him to doubt here. Things like this usually happen. You will never actually forget anything permanently. Memories just fade away a little, until someone or something reminds us of what we forgot. So he nodded his head thinking that her dream might have reminded her of everything that was faded because of the fairy haze."That's actually great Bella. After you lost your memories, I was worried that you might not trust me again. I know our bond will never let you leave me. But then again, trust is the main thing that holds a relation
Blaze is shocked to hear her words. "What? Do you mean someone intentionally separated you from your parents when you were a baby? So they know you were my mate since the time you were born? But how is it possible? They were trying to kill me since when I was 9 years old? That's the time around which you were born. You must be a baby when I turned 9. But how come your real parents never realized that one of their daughters is missing? Do they even know that they had twins?" Blaze asked. Nothing is making any sense. Everything was planned and orchestrated since he was just a child. But why? Bella shook her head. "I don't know Blaze. We need to go talk to my father" she said, and Graham's face popped in front of her face. She shook her head to clear that unwanted image. "I mean, my real father," she said. Blaze squeezed her hand assuringly. He can understand where her mind drifted back to. "Hmm, but I don't thin
Bella's heart fluttered after listening to his words. She cannot believe someone tried to separate them permanently. But something in his previous statement caught her attention. "Wait, you said you seized their powers. And now they are similar to humans. But they are already humans" she asked him with confusion. Blaze shook his head. "No, they are not humans. They belong to an almost extinct race now. Only a few of them are alive. They are called drifters. They are a part of the Fae race, but more refined and powerful than an average fae. All of them have the common power of drifting. They can shift from one place to another within seconds. And they can even shift from one world to another without any trouble. The fae doesn't have this ability. They cannot shift between worlds, even if they can shift from one place to another" Blaze explained. Bella gaped at him with shock. She always thought Graham and Grace are humans. But she never suspected that
