Chapter 4

I was breathing rapidly with fear evident on my face but before I could open my mouth the door of his study room opened,

"Brother," I heard a familiar voice, I turned in its direction and saw the same woman who I first met when I came here, no scratch that when I was brought here.

"What's happening?" She asked while glancing at my scarred face,

"She wants to leave," he replied normally as if he didn't just scare the hell out of me seconds ago. He changed his demeanor completely in a split second in front of my eyes.

Oh my god! I stared at him, shocked at his sudden change in tone and demeanor. She turned to me and looked at me in confusion,

"Are you alright?" she asked while looking at the way I was sitting.

Do I look okay to you? I thought as I glanced at her instead of saying that out I just nodded my head and tried to suppress my anxiety.

She sat down on the chair beside me and turned to me, "Diannah right?" she asked while looking at me. I nodded my head at her question,

"My name is Eira, younger sister of... king Gabriel," she said while pointing her hand towards Gabriel.

"And that's..." She pointed at someone behind me, I turned and saw the other guy, who was with them yesterday, the blonde one. He was closing the door behind us before walking towards us and sitting on the couch beside us.

"Geralt, my second elder brother," she said, I glanced at him and saw him looking at me.

"Nice to meet you, Diannah," he smiled,

"You too," I replied with a small smile, he looked handsome while smiling.

"So.. The reason why you're here is..." She kept glancing at Gabriel, who was busy reading the book, "... um..." she glanced at Geralt, who nodded his head at her with an encouraging look on his face.

"I think you should tell her about who we are... first," Gabriel said all of a sudden making everyone turn to him,

Oh, so you're listening... great, I thought as I glanced at him. He was turning the page and kept reading the book,

"Yeah..." Geralt added,

"Okay... We are not normal...living...um...human beings?" she said while glancing at Geralt,

"Yeah, I figured that out," I replied while looking at these three,

It was obvious, looking at their clothes and this place they don't look like normal human beings not to mention they just pulled me through a fucking portal. Yep, a normal human being wouldn't do that.

"Good, we’re high ranked wizards... you're in Wizards realm," She replied, as soon as that word left her mouth my eyes widened in pure disbelief.

"Yes, Diannah... please don't panic, we won't hurt you, we promise," Geralt said with an assuring smile,

Oh my god! They're wizards... Fuck for real! Jesus, does that mean, Vampires, werewolves, dragons are real too?

"Yes... They are!" came a sweet boyish voice, I looked and saw nothing.

Where did that voice come from? I thought.

"Down here!" Voice came again and this time it made me jump,

I quickly looked down and when my eyes landed on the black and white fluffy ball, my eyes literally bulged out of their sockets.

Bloody hell!

I quickly looked at Eira and saw her smiling at it, I moved my eyes to Geralt and saw him doing the same.

What the hell is happening here? Is this tiny Pomsky talking? Or Am I just imagining everything?

I stared at him in confusion, He has tiny legs, black and white fur. He was adorable with his ocean blue eyes and tiny ears.

"Don't be so surprised, you’re in a wizard's realm, what do you expect!" He said while walking over towards Eira and jumping on her. It sat on her lap and she began

petting it and I was watching them with my mouth wide open in utter shock and surprise.

"It's talking!" I said in disbelief while pointing at the Pomsky and glancing at Eira.

"Yes, this is Diesel, he was gifted by a fairy to my brother for his help... He can talk and also read my brother's thoughts.. Surprisingly now, he can read yours too," she said while petting him with a smile on her face.

What!

"Stop talking about me and tell her why she's here, I'm sure she has tons of questions running in her head," Diesel said while looking at my face,

Oh, goddess!

"You're made for my brother," she said,

"What!" I exclaimed in shock and stood up from the chair.

Jesus, I can't handle this... What the hell, first, they are all wizards, Second, I'm in a bloody wizard's realm, and then, talking puppy, and now this! Bloody hell! I'm made for him? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I glanced at Gabriel who was reading the book not bothering to glance at us, “Diannah, please sit down,” Eira requested, “Let me explain everything clearly,” she said with a pleading expression on her face.

I sighed and sat down, “Have you ever heard about soulmates?” She asked,

“Yeah, Werewolves’ mates... Right?” I replied,

“Yeah… Wizards usually don’t have mates but there’s a prophecy… on the upcoming war… this prophecy claims that you are my brother’s soul mate… and you both have a crucial part in it… if you both… doesn’t mate or accept the mate bond… one of us may die,” she said,

Hearing her words my eyes widened in shock, “What?” I yelled in shock, 

“But… Am a human, I heard mates have to be of the same race!” I said while glancing at Gabriel,

“No… Mates can be of any race dear... and…” She hesitated while glancing at Geralt and Gabriel,

“You… are not human…” She said, “Although we are not sure what you are… you are not human,” She added,

“What do you mean I’m not human,” I asked surprised at her words, “I was born to humans, both my parents are humans…” I said while looking at her.

“Your parents are not your biological parents… they adopted you,” She said, “I know it’s hard to believe all this, Diannah…” I cut her off, “Yes, it is… All this is very hard to believe… Do you understand, You people literally kidnapped me from my home and… told me that I’m not human… my parents aren’t my biological parents… How should I believe you!” I almost yelled in frustration.

“Cut the crap and let me go… I don’t want to stay here and listen to your bullshit…” All of a sudden she grabbed my arm; the contact sent an electric jolt all over my body and shut me up. My breathing stopped for a sec and I was no longer in the study room, I was standing in a room filled with hospital cribs and babies inside them. I looked around and no one other than me was present in the room.

What’s happening? Where am I? I thought while looking around,

All of a sudden I heard footsteps coming from outside, I turned around and watched a young couple walking inside the room with a doctor, who was leading them. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about but as they walked closer I recognised them. It’s mom and dad, they looked younger. I don’t know what that Doctor said but it made them happy, they walked past me as if I was not present at all.

Why couldn’t they see me? I thought as I watched them walking past me,

The doctor led them towards a crib which was placed at the corner of the room, I followed them curiously and looked at the peacefully sleeping baby, who was wrapped in white fabric. She looked like a tiny angel while sleeping,

Oh, my goodness! She’s so beautiful I thought while staring at the baby.

I glanced at the doctor and saw him pointing at the nameplate which was attached to the front side of the crib, I looked at it and saw my name printed on it.

Diannah Valeron,
