The next morning, Bella and Blaze got ready for work.
"Come, let's go," he said and pulled her towards him to shift them together inside his cabin in the Hamilton corporation.
"No, I have something to do first. I will come after a few hours" she said softly.
Blaze frowned at her words. He noticed a change in her behavior since last night. But he cannot pinpoint exactly what it is. Her eyes no longer hold the doubts she used to carry whenever she looks at him. Now she is more trusting and he can see the love shining for him in her eyes.
"What is it? Can I help you with it?" he asked softly.
Bella kissed him on the cheek and then softly gave him a chaste kiss on his lips, which caught him by surprise. She is behaving like his Bella before she lost her memories. He looked at her intently, trying to see what is happening with her. But after she blocked him from her mind, it's becoming difficult to read her mind.
No one has the power
Drifters can do magic which is more advanced than a normal fae. Just like fae, each drifter has different powers. Like Graham, whose ability is illusion. Just like he made everyone believe that he is handicapped, even though his leg is fine. Grace is a low-level drifter, who can only jump from one world to another or from one place to another. She cannot do anything more than that. Graham and Grace are not exactly wife and husband. Drifters usually don't prefer to settle down with one partner. Couples in Drifters are very rare. They both are living together just to fool Bella. Graham remembers how he, Grace, and Cameron fooled Bella into believing that Cameron is torturing them so that Bella would agree to stay with Cameron and marry him. Everything is orchestrated by Stephen and they just acted based on his instructions. Stephen doesn't want Bella to go back to the fairy world and find her mate, who is the Dragon king Blaze Black. There is a prophecy t
Graham laughed at Bella. He began to walk around her, dragging his hammer behind him on the ground. It's making a loud noise in the otherwise quiet house. Bella is feeling betrayed. The two people whom she loved with everything she had betrayed her in the worst way possible.That's when she remembers the words spoken by the fairy goddess.'You love them so much. You will believe it when you see it with your own eyes ' the goddess spoke.Bella didn't understand it at that time. But she can see clearly why she said that. If she said that her humans parents are bad, then surely she wouldn't have believed her. But now that she seeing everything with her own eyes, she is stunned."You are just a pawn in the big game Bella. Silly girl. You were a very good daughter when compared to many teenagers of your age. But sadly, I never appreciated it myself. You were just a job given to me for money. Nothing more, nothing less. I never had any soft spot for you in all
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
