• Unlikely mates, Unleashed hearts    Chapter 86

  Simeon had left right after the meal, and I returned to my room, where I stayed the entire day, doing absolutely nothing. By the time night came, I was restless. Tonight, I would finally see Varek again, after a whole month and I had no idea how to feel about that. When Simeon first told me he was back, my heart had started pounding… and that was weird, completely weird. I was supposed to be angry, furious, even. Not feeling like I missed him or something. I had so much bottled up inside and the first thing I’d do when I saw him was break his head for vanishing without a word, or maybe break each of his fingers for daring to invite me to dinner like nothing had happened. The rest of the day dragged on painfully slow and I spent it lying on my bed, rolling around and lost in thought. Wouldn’t it be pathetic of me to show up after he acted like I didn’t exist? Was I really going to run to him the second he clicked his fingers? Shouldn’t I be the one ignoring him now? Give him a tast

  All I could remember was Varek carrying me and running like he was heading somewhere urgent before everything went black. When I finally woke up, I was back in my room, lying on my bed and above me stood a strange figure, staring into my eyes.I remembered Varek saying he couldn’t leave the realm by himself, so how did he manage to bring us back? Where was he now? I tried to look around for him, but before I could move, the strange figure jabbed something into my armand I lost consciousness again.The next few days passed in a blur. The strange figure, who I learned was a healer, was treating my wounds, which were healing much slower than normal and that was strange. .He had the lower body of a lizard and the upper body of a human. He said he wasn’t a “he” or a “she,” but told me his name was Loid. I decided to use “he” for him since he looked masculine, even with the long hair covering his head down to his tail, I tried not to judge him, when I wanted to. I also chose to not ask h

  I was suddenly jerked awake by a heavy force landing on my body and seizing me up. Gasping, I sat up, only to freeze in horror.I wasn’t in my body, instead, I was staring at it. My body lay still on the ground, pale and cold and I felt my heart drop in fear. What… what is happening?I reached out, trying to touch myself but my hand passed right through. There was no feeling and I couldn’t even hold my body. I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. I tried over and over again, stil nothing came out. Panicking, I turned my head, searching. “Varek?” I tried to say. But again, no sound came from my mouth.He was still fighting with the horned monster and it was pushing him back, winning but Varek was still giving it everything he had.I ran toward him, desperate to grab him and also get his attention but my hands couldn’t touch him either. They slipped right through his fur like mist.I was losing it. What exactly was going on? Was I… dead?“No,” I whispered, tears blurrin

  Varek didn’t say a word to me after that. Even when I asked him why I needed to keep my clothes on, he ignored me.So, we just walked and walked on and the heat was gone now, completely gone. In its place was a bone-deep cold that stole the air from my lungs. Every step drained what little strength I had left. My teeth chattered uncontrollably, and I couldn’t even feel my fingers anymore. I regretted ever complaining about the heat. I would take that over this in a heartbeat.It wasn’t snowing. It wasn’t raining. But the cold, God, the cold felt like we had been dropped straight into Antarctica. I hadn’t been there, but I imagined this was what it felt like.I blew warm air into my hands, rubbing them together in a useless attempt to stay warm. It didn’t help.Shifters aren’t supposed to feel cold like this. We can usually handle extreme weather better than humans, especially the cold. But this… this wasn’t normal and if I was freezing, then that meant it was something far worse.I pu

  I burst into laughter, not just a soft chuckle but a loud, full-belly kind of laugh that shook my whole body. I bent over, clutching my waist to stop myself from falling to the ground. My eyes stung from the tears forming at the corners, and I could barely breathe.“A witch?” I wheezed in between gasps. “Did you just say we’re going to see a witch? Is this some kind of joke? Because if it is, it’s so funny!”Varek didn’t even flinch. He just stood there, arms crossed, staring at me like I had completely lost my mind. “You don’t believe witches exist?”“Everyone knows they don’t!” I said, wiping the sweat from my forehead. “Witches are extinct. They were wiped out years ago, every last one of them.”“Not all of them,” he said quietly, tilting his head slightly. “You don’t know half of what goes on beyond your little realm and I don’t blame you. It’s your kind’s fault they’re nearly extinct. Power-hungry, always killing anything you don’t understand, even those that aren’t threats.”“H

  “Enough!” I snapped, my voice echoing off the stone walls. “Enough of you saying this has something to do with me! I don’t know what’s going on! I never called for you. I have no idea why our wolves share the same fur color, so can you just drop it already?”My hands clenched at my sides. “What’s your obsession with making a fuss over nothing? Yes, fine, you helped me and I thanked you. The next logical step is for you to let me go my own way, and you go yours.”“You can’t!” Varek’s voice boomed, fierce and deep. “Destiny has tied us together, and our fates have aligned!”I froze. “What?” I whispered, eyes wide. “What did you just say?”But instead of answering, he cursed under his breath and ran a frustrated hand through his thick hair.“I don’t understand any of this,” he muttered. “And for the first time in my life, I’m completely confused and it all started the moment you entered the picture.”He took a breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly.“I’m trying to find out what thi
