“What was that you were battling with?” he asked Amelia as soon as they were out of the area.“The same black smoke I saw the other day but this time, it was more powerful and deadlier,” Amelia stated."It was twirling around you and I couldn't risk knowing what would have happened if it had touched you."“The fire wasn’t an ordinary fire,” Arthur concluded from Amelia’s words.“It was a trap meant for you,” Amelia told Arthur. “How are you feeling?” Arthur asked worriedly.“A bit weak but I’ll be fine,” Amelia answered. However Arthur didn’t seem too convinced, especially as he remembered her falling.A portal suddenly opened and Arthur drove the car into it. When the car came out of the portal, Amelia saw that they had arrived at the mansion.She opened the door and got out but as her feet touched the ground, it gave up on her and she collapsed. “Amelia!” Arthur exclaimed and he rushed to help her up. “See I knew you weren’t fine,” he told her and he carried her up bridal style.“A
“Come, let’s go,” she said and immediately left the house. She got into the car and as soon as Horrace started driving, she called Cara to inform her about what was happening.“I’m on my way,” Cara said and disconnected the call. Amelia then proceeded to text Arthur about what was happening so he would know about it as soon as he came online.They reached the border and Amelia saw that Cara was already there. Amelia quickly got down from the car and approached her. “Do you know who these people are?” she asked Cara as they walked towards where the women were. “Soothsayers,” Cara answered irritably. “Damn, I hate them!” she exclaimed as they got to where the four old women were.“Well hello to you too, Cara,” one of the old women said.“You have five minutes to say what you want to,” Cara said irritably.“We’ve come to warn the girl,” another woman spoke, her eyes focused on Amelia. Amelia shifted uncomfortably in her spot as she felt like the old woman was looking deep in her sou
“See I told you that there is something wrong,” Amelia stated. When she had first told the witch that she felt something was wrong, Cara shrugged it off, thinking that Amelia was just being paranoid because of what the soothsayers said.However, she could no longer say that after trying to reach Alphaeus. “They’ll be fine, we just have to wait for them,” Cara said and as soon as she finished speaking, lightning struck in the sky showing that it would rain soon.“I…” Amelia started but her words were cut short when she was hit with a vision. In the vision, she saw a white lycan standing under the rain, however, something was different about it.The rain was making it difficult for her to see what was wrong with the lycan and so, she made her way over to it. When she got close to it, she stopped abruptly and her insides froze when she noticed the black smoke around the lycan.“No!” she yelled and the vision stopped, bringing her back to her environment. “What did you see?” Cara ask
"You should stop all these silly tricks, dear sister,” Leticia said as she looked at the countless clones of Cara. “We are witches dear sister, have you forgotten that playing tricks is part of our nature,” Cara retorted. Leticia shook her head and she brought down lightning to strike everyone of the Cara. They immediately disappeared and she saw the real Cara standing at a distance from her. She positioned herself to attack when she felt something hit her from behind.She turned and found Alphaeus standing behind her. “Ahhh, it overwhelms my heart to see how your mate always comes rushing to you,” Leticia said sarcastically.However, inwardly, she was looking for a way to get out of there. She didn't mind dueling with Cara however, it was a different thing when it came to Alphaeus.“I know, it’s obvious that you’ve always been jealous of me,” Cara said. Leticia had always thought that their parents loved Cara more than her. Well it was understandable after all she was Cara.And
“When we got to the forest, Alphaeus was attacked out of the blue by Leticia and the next thing Arthur and I knew was that we were being thrown into a portal.”“Let me guess, you had to deal with hydras?” Lance stated and Adrian nodded in affirmation.“Hydras as well as Leticia,” Adrian stated. Lance wanted to say more but he decided against it as it wasn’t the right time to do so. The Luna was more important than his curiosity “How is she now?” he asked instead.“Not too good, she has lost a lot of blood ,” Adrian said. He wanted to add the grave consequences that came from her being marked without her consent but he didn’t.Even though Arthur wasn’t saying anything, he knew that he was still able to hear them and saying that would just add to his guilt even though he wasn’t at fault.Over an hour passed before the door opened and Cara came out. “How is she?!” Arthur asked.“I have done everything I can, all we can do is wait and see whether her condition will improve or not,” Cara
“Why would I need to come back to you?” Amelia asked once again as she was confused.*****She looked around and saw that she was standing in the middle of nowhere. She had a feeling that she had been there for a while but for how long?‘An hour,’ Amelia muttered to herself. She couldn’t have been here for more than an hour. But what was she doing there?She felt like she was waiting for someone but the question was who was she waiting for? There was no one in sight at all.“Did I keep you waiting?” someone suddenly asked from behind her. She turned and found a woman in front of her. Where did she come from? Amelia wondered.She was about to ask her when she noticed something about the woman. She was dressed in a white flowing gown and her hair was white just like hers when she was in her protector’s form.The only difference was the fact that her eyes weren't white but it was a normal brown colour. “You’re a protector?” Amelia asked but it was more of a statement than a question.Th
“Well he deserves it, he is the reason I was in that position,” Amelia said in irritation. If he hadn't forcibly marked her, he wouldn't have suffered and she would not have this thick bandage on her neck.“Well he wasn’t himself, he was poisoned by Leticia” Cara told Amelia.“Doesn’t really make more of a difference to me,” Amelia shrugged casually. Her words made Cara do a double take at who was sitting in front of her. Was it just her or did Amelia seem a bit different? “Are you okay?” she couldn't help but ask.“My neck feels like it’s going to fall off any moment, so no I’m not okay,” Amelia answered in irritation. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as the pain was getting even worse.“Am I talking to the protector or the human?” Cara probed.“Both!” Amelia answered. “I can now control my powers,” she told Cara.“Really?” Cara exclaimed.“Yes, the reason why I couldn’t control it earlier was because I had not yet been marked by Arthur,” Amelia stated.“I had a feeling
“What are you hiding from me?” Amelia asked and her voice turned serious.Even though Arthur didn't show any reaction to her question at all, she still had a feeling that something was wrong.“What makes you say so?” Arthur asked with a stoic expression on his face. Amelia at this point had to inwardly salute him on how great of an actor he was.“In case you’ve forgotten we now have a mate bond and I can feel you’re hiding something,” Amelia said.‘Ahh, why can’t I read his mind,’ Amelia thought to herself. "Reply to this and I swear, you won't recognize yourself after I’m done with you," she quickly threatened, still in her head as she remembered that he could hear her thoughts.And knowing him, he would definitely say something that would make her feel more embarrassed than she already was.That immediately stopped what Arthur was about to say. Amelia was right; he was about to say something he knew would just make her more embarrassed.“I’ve blocked my
