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 mindlinkedand toldthat 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 glanced in the direction but didn’t say anything. It knocked again but this tI growled and the knocking stopped so I thought it went away when the door blasted open. Witchcraft. A thick white fog cinto the room and Ari warnedso I backed up closer to Nora. Then I saw it or rather her, her eyes. were blue and her hair black 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 1/4
playing hide and seek now?” her voice cout as a whisper. What in the wide world? Is it the gift I got before? She is truly looking foras she can’t seebut I need to focus on Nora right now, I can deal with the mate thing later. “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 tas he growls at the words “guard dog”. “Oh you are in here then but I don’t feel any ill intentions coming 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 succeed in killing her, will you cafterthen?” 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 hindersfrom seeing you but it doesn’t hinderfrom paralyzing you.” She tauntswith 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 can cand help us and right on tthe king shows up but he too becomes paralyzed by the fog and can’t move. All we can do is stare at Nora as she loses her life. r 3/4 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 stalone and hid somewhere in my mind. My body still feels heavy but I can hear them speak toand 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 them laugh and tellingthat 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 play. 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 accept for me. I am not my mother and neither are you, so just accept the truth, accept yourself andand you can wake up and we can be together. St upid human girl Aurelie yells atwith sorrow in her voice. r 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, playing with him. Then it says it is going to kill me. Oh da mn and I can’t do anything but lay 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 killand 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.
