บททั้งหมดของ My Unexpected Mate: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

CalyxAs I chanted the incantation, my magic fizzled and sparked, but ultimately did nothing. Frustration gnawed at me as I waited for some sign of success. Nothing … my magic did nothing. Perhaps because it had worked, and I just had to wait. It was something witches could do. Reincarnation would increase their powers. I had done it several times but there was normally a spell you had to say prior and the faint amount of magic Naomi possessed, I wasn’t sure if it was enough. The air hung heavy with disappointment as I realised my mistake and wondered if it was too late to fix it.My magic had been used to heal her wounds, and now she lay before me, seemingly at peace. Her cheeks, still stained with tears, were evidence of the pain she had endured. And yet, she looked ethereal in her white gossamer gown, which billowed in the breeze like an angel’s wings. I needed to complete the rest of the process by clinging to the hope that it might help her transformation.“Careful pet … you’re m

NaomiI sat by Cal’s side, watching him sleep as I tried to come up with a way to help him. Suddenly, time seemed to reverse and everything that had just happened was undone. Odette walked backwards down the stairs, meticulously retying Cal’s robe and sealing up his wounds as the blade slid back into place. Tobin and Ataz appeared before them, lifting Cal and carrying him back up the steps. The sun rose and set in rapid succession as they all came and went from the cellar. I even witnessed the disturbing interactions between myself, Odette, and Cal - how he used my body for his own pleasure without any remorse. Time sped up until the Manor around us transformed, its walls now adorned with unfamiliar faces that I could no longer recognise. It was disorienting and unsettling to say the least.As I stood in the open field, a sense of emptiness washed over me. The once grand Manor House, with its promise of luxury and opulence, was yet to be built. But even in its absence, the surroundings

NaomiI crept along the overgrown path that led to the grand Manor House, my heart racing with each step. This was a place I had promised never to return to, but now I found myself drawn back by a force beyond my control. My magic hummed beneath my skin, urging me forward. I took careful steps, avoiding any crunching leaves or twigs that might give away my presence. I couldn’t risk being detected here.As I approached the kitchen window, the faint murmur of voices drifted out into the open air. I paused, my steps sliding up against the outside wall closet to the window in order to remain hidden. I was going to help Cal and then find a cure for their curse, then leave them.I listened closer, trying to make out the words my magic seems to extend from me breezing in through the window until I was floating above the three of them. Odette stood in her kitchen wearing a luxurious silk robe that had slipped off one shoulder, revealing smooth, tanned skin. It was on purpose from the way the

NaomiCal guides me through the grand manor, up staircases and through hallways until we finally reach the library. The room is lined with shelves from floor to ceiling, filled with books of all shapes and sizes. In the centre hangs a stunning chandelier, casting a soft light over multiple tables and chairs for reading. “How do you even reach the books at the top?” I ask, amazed. Cal simply snaps his fingers, and a book begins to float down from the highest shelf, landing gently on my outstretched hand. “Of course... magic,” he smirks as I playfully roll my eyes and let go of his hand.“So, why did you bring me up here?” I can feel his eyes on me as I step into the room, the musty smell of old books filling my nose. There is a fireplace in one corner that lights as Cal snaps his fingers once more. The crackle and pop fill the silence as I arch a brow. He smirks again before his face becomes serious. “Training for you,” I must have gasped as he holds out his hands in surrender, an amus

NaomiThe dawn came and I could barely keep my eyes open after practicing so many spells. Cal had kept an obvious distance between us since I rejected him. Part of me wanted to explain, but there wasn’t time we needed to stop Odette and the others. I just hoped Ataz hadn’t told them I was alive. I could feel Cal’s gaze skitter over my skin when he thought I wasn’t looking. I knew he wanted me … part of me wanted him, too. But I needed to know the truth, and that wasn’t going to come until broke this curse.“Again,” he instructed, as a dull ache was pressing behind my eyes. “I need a break,” I groaned, but he wouldn’t let up. I still hadn’t managed to find the grimoire with the spell that Odette used. Nothing close either. “Do you not understand pet, that if she succeeds in her plans, my magic could be powerless. I won’t be able to do anything to stop her. I won’t be able to protect you and, most importantly, I won’t be able to give you your wolf back. You will end up just as doomed as
