Chapter 8

Adeena's P.O.V

"I have been calling you all day!" Valerie panics, walking into the room.

I was seated on the floor, with a candle lit and my journal in hand. She paused and looked around curiously before closing the door and walking closer to me.

"I haven't really mastered the art of using your kind of technology" I answer putting my journal down and closing it.

"Whole point of me buying it for you, so you can learn" she exasperated throwing herself down onto my bed. "What're you doing anyway, what kind of spell are you working on?" she mumbles.

She kind of saw me levitating a piece of bread over to me once, I had to explain my abilities and she suprisingly took it with ease, not bombarding me with a million questions.

All she said was 'oh, cool', and then we went ahead to talk about what I did to that guy Collin. Apparently a few wolves know now that I'm here, I was so happy they didn't know who I really was, then, they would have to show respect because they would want my mother to give them a mate.

Even though I'm their Alpha's mate, I haven't gone through the ceremony to earn my title. I don't even know what happens at the ceremony, I need to read about those stuff before I go any further into this role.

"It's a protection spell, I've been working on it all morning" I answer with a shrug.

"Protection from who?" Valerie inquires, sitting up and looking at me.

"It's a wolf protection spell, to protect wolves, if I'm going to be one then I might as well need a spell to protect myself", blowing out a breath I pushed my hair back and opened my book again.

Didn't she come in here saying she was calling me, right, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help her out.

"Oh, you wanted to talk to me earlier?" I ask.

"Yeah, I know we haven't known each other for a long time but I need your help with something" she says in a soft voice.

Her tone made me shift in my position but I was attentive, sitting up straight so that she'd  know I was giving her my full attention. Valerie pushed her hair behind her ear and took in a deep breath.

"So I know you're the Moon Princess and all, your mom could see phantom wolves right?" she asks nervously.

"That's correct" I nodded.

Mother could see and speak to phantom wolves, she usually helps them to cross over into different realms regularly after they've died. But it was hard work, she would be drained after doing something like that, she had to use up most of her energy to push them, especially when they didn't want to go.

"I was wondering if you could talk to them also", this time her voice was lower.

It troubled me seeing her in this nervous state, her cheeks were red and she looked flustered. The shade in her eyes died out to a low vibrational color for a few seconds and stayed there after a while.

She was sad.

A heavy feeling came over, I tried to shake it off but I couldn't, it felt like guilt, remorse, burden and sadness, it wasn't a great feeling.

"I can, is there a particular reason why you're asking?", I kind of already knew the answer to that.

"I wanted to know if my mate crossed over yet" she says softly.

"Your mate?", I thought hadn't found him as yet.

I'm not one to pry anyone to talk, I always mind my business and wait for them to talk to me, naturally they do.

"Yes, I'm sure you've heard about Alpha Uriah", her eyes closed and then opened as she succumbed to her emotions.

I tend to cause that, I bet she was thinking about him earlier and my aura sensed that and just pulled it out of her.

"Yes, wasn't he the one that...." I trailed off, trying to choose my words wisely.

"Kalan killed him" she sighs after a few seconds of silence. "I just want to know how he died and if he's okay" she says, kind of pleading with me.

It was dangerous to do this without proper training, I've never done it before, I used to just glimpse them before Mother sent them off. I was as powerful as both of my parents, and it's obvious she needs some closure.

"Okay, I can try to help you but not today", I pat her hand, a weird feeling coming over me but I try to put it away.

I walk into the kitchen, seeing Isaac and Kalan there. They both turned to look at me as if I had just walked in on a secret meeting.

Isaac gave me side eyes as I sat down next to Kalan, I just knew he wanted to ask me something and I knew what it was already.

"Do you need an invite?" I ask Kalan, he doesn't say anything but glances at me.

"You already know what I want to ask" he answers blankly.

"You can ask nicely and I'll tell you" I mused tapping my fingers on the island.

He turns his head to look at me fully, our eyes locking and our stares held. The air in the room became dense, as if time stood still in this exact moment, the blue orbs staring at me with little to no emotion, they looked duller than all the other times.

It felt as if there was a force, pulling me into him, weirdly, I had no intention to fight it.

"You're just going to be cunning and deceiving, just like your mother" he spits, turning away to look at Isaac.

Never heard that one before, I've been told worse from various people. There are a lot of things my family goes through just because of my parents and their choices. My mother was never supposed to have children, and she definitely wasn't supposed to marry a dark wizard from the underworld.

Many people blame us for simple things that happen to them throughout their lives, especially my mother, she's blamed for everything this ungrateful beings do, all she does is try to make everyone happy but they can't handle the natural environment they live in.

"You know nothing about my mother" I retorted in a low voice. "And you know nothing about me".

"I don't need to know anything about you, I told you that I can reject you at anytime, and just having you around irritates me" he answers with the coldest tone.

"Then do it", it was obvious there was something wrong with him.

I've heard bits and pieces of stories about him, he can be bipolar most of the time but that's not it, I can sense that there's something wrong. I'm gonna have to go home and figure out and then come back one day.

"You guys, come on" Isaac stresses with a heavy sigh, "Kalan, don't do anything stupid".

"It's fine Isaac, he's not worth it", Kalan's face changed to a softer expression.

His eyes were now brighter as he stared in me, you have got to be kidding me.

I got up and left to my room, I'm leaving just to figure this out and maybe I'll be back, or I could ask Mother to put me somewhere else, maybe the desert, she didn't have to give me over to this lunatic.
