Chapter 52: Disappointment

*LYCIA*

My blood froze.

What was my mother doing here?

Turning around to look at her I find the darkness of the night shroud her features but the aura she radiated is heavily clogging the air around me. She is more than just livid.

“M-Mom? What are you doing here?” I asked, unable to raise my eyes to look at her face. I had been reprimanded before, rather harshly too but this time I had made a blunder that I wouldn’t be able to rectify that easily.

“Are you sure you should be the one asking me questions here?” she thundered, “What were you thinking Lycia? That you would transport out of the coven and I, the queen and your mother, wouldn’t even be aware of it?”

I always had a doubt that my mother had been dabbling in tracking spell along with the protection spell she put on me but I hadn't been very sure. The potion too that she fed me occasionally had been similar to these qualities but I never cared about it before because I never had anything to hide, in fact it made me feel safe.
