Part 2 Chapter 19
Ben’s POV
Well Anna showed those humans how much their words were worth but their faces were so d amn
funny the second before they fainted.
But something has bothered me for a while now actually. I feel like someone is following us, but I
haven’t seen anyone, strange.
We ate Chinese food, one of Anna’s favorites and me and Ares almost got thrown out of the restaurant.
Apparently we ate too much from the buffet but then why have a “all you can eat buffet” if you aren’t
able to eat everything there?
Anna laughed and I was happy to see a smile on her face. I see Anna as a mom since my mother died
while giving birth to me. But I am happy that my mom and dad weren’t fated mates because dad didn’t
break when my mother died.
He raised me and Anna was one of the females that took care of me as well. There have been a lot of
faces around the castle but it feels like Anna has always been there. I wonder if it’s because of the
curse that Anna hasn’t aged like she should
have.
She has been with us for almost 80 years and she still looks like she is in her mid thirties. She told us
once that her parents are pureblood werewolves but she has never shifted or talked to her wolf. But
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe can feel its presence like she is sleeping. I hope she will wake up when Uncle Dave marks her.
She
deserves to feel the freedom like a werewolf would.
We wait until the truck is ready and I have decided to ride in the truck with the driver and Ares will take
the car with Anna. I told her that she has to be fast at the radio because Ares has a weird music taste.
There it is again, that strange feeling, I try to shake it but there is something strange. I shake my head
again at the same time as the truck driver unlocks the truck and we get in. I sniff the air but it doesn’t
smell anything different and the driver is an ordinary guy. But his smile is beautiful. What?
Helios POV
Land Daniel took turns tearing down the kitchen. Dad told Anna and Ares to buy everything new and I
didn’t understand why in the beginning but now absolutely. After we had our turns and the kitchen was
completely gone we noticed something on the rug and we took it away.
But under the rug was a wooden floor and it had dark brown stains on it. The smell was gone long ago
but the color said everything, blood.
So we tore up the floor and the secret under it left us speechless. A blood drawn pentagram with old
symbols around it and a witch symbol in the middle. Dad called for Mariah and Melinda, they came in
an instant and I remember the horror on Mariah’s face when she saw the symbol.
I took the opportunity and asked Melinda about the library doors and she happily answered that the
tree dryads are still alive in the doors. But she was surprised that she had spoken to Nora and even
invited her inside.
Melinda called the coven to come and they were all scared of the peritagram and the symbols but they
cleansed the floor and the symbols sunk through the floor. It didn’t disappear
but took root inside the castle stones.
Mariah explained with tears in her eyes that the pentagram was drawn by one of their ancestors and
the symbols around give its meaning to the spell. The symbol in the middle means “eternity”.
So all curses that are placed on my fathers bloodline will for eternity hold its grasp until the very last
royal drop of blood disappears and then the long wait will finally be over. Or something like that.
Mariah believes that this pentagram is a power source for Mia’s and the other witch’s curse to stay
alive.
I didn’t quite understand that but when everything was done we put back the floorboards but we took
some new ones where there was dried blood and Mariah and the coven blessed the wood. Protecting it
from anything evil and by doing that, the kitchen will be protected and if something evil is happening in
the kitchen it will sing out.
Yep witches have their thing, strange and even more strange but we have our thing as well, instincts
they call it. And my instinct right now is to go outside. So I do and when I get outside I meet Felix and
Kara.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What are you guys doing here?” I ask them and they look surprised at that.
“What are you talking about Helios? Your father has invited every king from the lycan kingdoms for a
grand meeting in three days’ time.” Felix says and I stare at him in shock.
Why the hell did he do that for? Oh, goddess. I show them inside while Felix tells me that Pete is
running the kingdom right now and that they almost caught the witch that has killed so many of their
people.
I explain about Nora’s heat and Kara giggles at my mark that I had totally forgotten about. But she also
told me that it would fade, if Nora’s mark would truly stick, she needs to mark us at every heat wave
and then we need to mark her after the third heat wave but before it ends.
I thought it sounded crazy but Felix mentioned something about the “golden hour” and I got it. The hour
after the heat dies down but the scent is still strong. I need to tell Ares this as well so he knows about it.
Melinda comes out along with Daniel and Felix smiles large as he hugs Daniel. Bro hug…
Then Daniel introduces Melinda but before I can stop him he has already told Felix that Melinda is a
witch and then Felix attacked Melinda.
Daniel jumped into the middle and there was some fighting and a bit of chaos, they shifted into their
lycans and I sighed but just as I tried to step into the middle a voice interrupted all of us.
“Kara?”
“Nora?”
