Valerie drew our attention when we were almost done. “On the night of the crescent moon, the witches and I will be divided into two groups. One will be at the witches’ quarters while the other will be at the pack house performing the mating ritual.”
I creased my brows. A mating ritual?
My eyes fell on Killian, and his gaze was on Valerie’s, just as confused as I was. In fact, everyone’s gaze was on Valerie.
“What do you mean?”
Killian questioned
“A mating ritual must be conducted between the cursed alpha and the gifted one. It is part of the ritual of breaking the curse. The gifted one must bear your mark, thereby linking her to you and the wolves.”
I couldn’t breathe. My eyes fell on Thea, and her eyes were on me, regarding me with a sinister smile. I listened to every word that Valerie said, and each word pierced deep into my soul just at the thought of Killian and Thea officially mating, and she would bear his mark.
I could barely think straight during the rest of the meeting. I could feel worried eyes sent my way. As soon as the meeting ended, I went straight to my chamber. I felt a banging ache in my head, and no matter how I tried to get some rest, I just couldn’t.
I felt angry and restless at the same time. I couldn’t stay in my chamber for another second, so I changed out of my dress and into my training clothes. I wore brown leather pants and a brown leather vest. I pulled my hair up in a ponytail and left my chamber. It was already dark outside. By now the witches must have begun the cleansing spell with Thea’s blood.
I went into the woods and trained for a while, but training alone was no fun. I still couldn’t release the rage and frustration in my bones. I went to the Pack’s training field. In training, I met some warriors, both male and female. I joined them. We trained for hours. It didn’t even bother me how fast time flew. I didn’t care.
I fought against some male warriors. I managed to win over a few while sustaining a few broken rib cages. But I’ll live. It was better to bathe in the pain than in the frustration and rage that threatened to kill me.
I trained with the warriors till early dawn. Even after so many hours of training, I didn’t feel exhausted. My mind was clear, and though my body was aching, everything felt fine. I walked back to the castle, and quietly made my way to my chamber. I jerked the door open and entered. As soon as I swerved around, my eyes fell on Killian. He was waiting for me.
I sighed. He was the last person I wanted to see at the moment.
“What are you doing here?”
I stalked to my dressing table and removed my boots.
“Naomi,”
Killian began, but I put my hand in the air.
“You don’t have to say anything, Killian. Frankly, I don’t want to hear anything you want to say. None of these is your fault, and I am not mad at you.”
I said, stripping off my training clothes.
I grabbed my silken robe and put it on my body. I meant every word I told him. I was not mad at him. None of these were his fault, so it’ll be useless to be mad at him. It wasn’t his fault he was cursed or that his father was a vile monster or that I wasn’t the one he needed. And I certainly won’t be mad at him for doing whatever it takes to free the pack and himself from this curse.
My rage and frustration stemmed from the harsh and bitter reality that Thea would always be the one he needed, and even worse, once the curse was broken, there would be no way to remove her from the pack because she would be mated to him and would bear his mark, which was supposed to be mine. I felt my eyes sting with tears, but I fought it hard.
Killian came to me. “I am truly sorry.”
I could see the pain and sadness in his eyes. It made the tears I fought so hard to fight escape my eyes.
“I know.”
I brushed off the tears from my eyes, stepping away. “I need to shower and get some rest,”
I told him. I just wanted to be alone. He could see that, and thankfully, he nodded, placing a kiss on my forehead.
I took my bath and retired for the night.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside. I woke up with a banging ache, drenched in my own sweat from last night. I had a nightmare again. It was the same, and this time it drove me crazier than I already was. It was torturous and frustrating.
I showered and got dressed quickly. I left my chamber without even having breakfast. I was tired and frustrated, and it was time I asked for help.
I went to Valerie’s room, but she wasn’t in it. In fact, no one was in. I left the castle and went straight to the witches’ quarters on the east side of the park. I walked to the Witches’ spell room in search of Valerie. But instead, I found Lorenzo. He was wearing his black cloak and was in the corner of the room. It seemed like he was in the middle of a spell as soon as he saw he was up on his feet.
“Naomi,”
“I apologize for barging in. I came looking for Valerie.”
“She had some matters to tend to outside the pack,”
he said, studying me briefly. “What it is, I could help.”
Perhaps he could. I shut my eyes, sucking in the pain in my head. “I’m in dire need of some help, Lorenzo.”
Naomi’s point of view
“I am in dire need of some help, Lorenzo,”
I said, rushing to where he was. He led me to the large table in the middle of the room, helping me to sit. “You don’t look well.”
He noted, staring intently at me. I didn’t feel so good. Aside from the banging ache in my head, I felt a growing heat in my stomach.
“I just have a hammering ache. But that’s not why I am here.”
I said. Enzo pulled his hand back to cup my face, and slowly it moved to my temple. My eyes pierced into his magenta eyes, and slowly the ache in my head began to vanish. He removed his hand when he was done. “Thank you.”
“So, what is the other reason you are here?”
He asked.
I rubbed my palms against each other. I wasn’t sure where to begin, that wouldn’t make me sound insane. So, I decided to start with the dreams I have been having, and then I told him about my childhood, which I can’t seem to remember. He kept his gaze fixed on me until I was done.
“If these dreams are somehow memories I have forgotten, then I want to remember. I want to remember everything I have forgotten.”
“If these dreams were memories from your childhood, did you ever consider that maybe it was for the best that you couldn’t remember anything?”
He asked me and I fell silent.
I did. Ever since I began having these dreams, I have considered that thought. I don’t know what I’d do if these dreams were memories of mine. That would mean everything was real. The fights, chaos, and deaths would mean it all happened, and that woman, the one my younger self seemed to recognize as my mother, was really dead.
I felt fear travel down my spine and confusion soon found me. If that woman was my mother, and she was a witch, then who the hell was I? And why can’t I find my father in any of these? I didn’t know when tears rolled from my eyes.
I felt Enzo’s warm hands on me.
“Even though remembering my past might bring me more pain, I want to remember it all,”
I said.
Lorenzo nodded. The skin around his eyes knitted. “Alright. If that is what you want.”
He was on his feet. He moved to the wooden shelf at the end of the room, with his woolen black cloak brushing the floor.
When he returned to me, there was nothing in his hands except a small black stone. He handed it to me. I looked at it with raised brows.
“You will need it.”
