Chapter 52


    Chapter 52


    Daniel POV


    I was by Nora’s side when everything went down but I got updates from Prince Helios in the beginning


    and I also had fun about Dave and Anna, they both needed someone and why not each other? I would


    love to meet my mate, perhaps I can do that when Nora breaks the curse.


    But when Ares mindlinked me and told me that Helios was out cold, I was on high alert, I shifted into


    my lycan, Ari. Ari and I shared control as we guarded Nora, we stood between her bed and the door,


    silently watching her and listening for intruders.


    After 30 minutes there was a knock on the door and I nced in the direction but didn’t say anything. It


    knocked again but this time I growled and the knocking stopped so I thought it went away when the


    door sted open. Witchcraft.


    A thick white fog came into the room and Ari warned me so I backed up closer to Nora. Then I saw it or


    rather her, her eyes. were blue and her hair ck but she was solely focused on Nora but I choked as


    Ari was conflicted.


    Ari was certain that the witch is our mate but I couldn’t leave


    Nora defenseless.


    “What do you want?” I growled out and the witch turned her head towards us and seemed surprised.


    “Where are you?” I can hear you but not see you. Are we

    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ying hide and seek now?” her voice came out as a whisper.


    What in the wide world? Is it the gift I got before? She is truly looking for me as she can’t see me but I


    need to focus on Nora right now, I can deal with the mate thingter.


    “Hmm, this is not good, why can’t I see you? Are you protected by something or someone? But I can


    see the sleeping princess right there and I took out her mates. That leaves.. the guard dog. ” She


    mumbles out the words and I can’t stop Ari in time as he growls at the words “guard dog”.


    “Oh you are in here then but I don’t feel any ill intentionsing from you. Strange, after all I am here


    to kill the princess..” she says and I can feel that Ari is conflicted.


    “Hmm this was fun, if I seed in killing her, will youe after me then?” she wonders as she moves


    slowly closer


    towards Nora.


    I try to move my body but it’s like I am frozen to the ground. No matter what I try, I can’t move my body.


    “Oh please, don’t try to move I paralyzed you, the protection hinders me from seeing you but it doesn’t


    hinder me from paralyzing you.” She taunts me with her sweet voice.


    I watch as she walks slowly towards Nora and she looks at her and then puts her hand over Nora’s


    nose and mouth and suffocates her slowly. Nora begins to twist her head in a way to get away from her


    but she can’t.


    I send out a mindlink to everyone so somebody cane and help us and right on time the king shows


    up but he too bes paralyzed by the fog and can’t move. All we can do is stare at Nora as she


    loses her life.

    Nora POV


    So alone in the darkness again and all I am doing is floating around like I am nothing. Nothing, alone in


    space. Aurelie took some time alone and hid somewhere in my mind.


    My body still feels heavy but I can hear them speak to me and sometimes I enjoy listening to them but


    other times I just want to crawl into a ball and cry. Cry because I also want to be there with them. I don’t


    want to be in this bottomless


    darkness anymore. I am tired of crying, tired of hearing themugh and telling me that they miss me.


    I want to wake up and eat pancakes again and kiss my mates, I will never reject them, I love both of


    them and I want to be with them. Only them and no one else.


    *That is the problem, Nora* Aurelie huffs from somewhere


    “What do you mean Aurelie?” I ask her with a sigh


    *You aren’t alone but you refuse to see it and so we are stuck, in the darkness together, forever. Don’t


    you think I want to be let out as well. I want you to shift into my body and then we can run alongside


    with your mates and we can hunt and y.


    Feel the ground under our paws, smell the earth and jump over rocks and logs inside the forest. Chase


    rabbits or a deer. I want out as well but that won’t happen if you don’t ept me


    for me.


    I am not my mother and neither are you, so just ept the truth, ept yourself and me and you can


    wake up and we can be together. St upid human girl Aurelie yells at me with sorrow in her voice.

    I stare in her way in the darkness and I am lost for words, while I ponder over everything she said I feel


    strange. Like I want to jump out a window or something. Something feels wrong like I am in a burning


    house or I have been diving too deep into the water. It feels like I am suffocating.


    “Aurelie, do you feel that?” I ask her and she whines in


    response


    *Yes, something is happening to your physical body but I thought your friends were protecting it?*


    Aurelie answers


    I strain my ears and I can hear Daniel growl in warning. “What do you want?” he asks and I get


    confused. There must be an intruder in the room. But it feels familiar.


    Then there is an unknown voice, taunting him, ying with him. Then it says it is going to kill me. Oh


    da mn and I can’t do anything buty there on the bed. Yay for me.


    I feel a cold sensation over my face and I try to fight back this invisible thing as it tries to kill me and I


    hear the king from a distance but I think he can’t do anything as my surroundings die out and my final


    thought is that I miss Aurelie.


    I really wanted to merge with her, I bet we would be wonderful together.
