Chapter 108 - A temporary mark and a huge gift.

Arora

Chaos erupted a second time and Bernard silenced everyone again, so he could explain a little better. I watched his family closely as he explained and noted how their worry slowly turned into relief. Especially when he told them it would stop my heat. I had heard the stories of what happened, and I was kind of glad I was zoned out. I never imagined it could get that bad!

“Arora, we have yet to hear what you think about all of this.” Queen Emily turned to me and I smiled.

“At first, I thought it was just Bernard’s way of trying to get me to accept him, but I’ve read some of the research and if he believes this will work …” I looked at him knowing the impact my words were going to have. “I trust him.” I shrugged. It was as if someone had taken ice-cold water and thrown it over all of them. They sat there just staring at us blankly.

“If it is permanent, well then I guess …” I hesitated. “We will be permanent.” I looked at Bernard, who was beaming before he pulled me under his arm.
