Chapter 41 | A Mini Adventure
My mind was exploding with questions. Meeting witches and sorceresses always left me with more questions than answers.
The sea witch couldn't tell me where or how to find the other opal stone that she talked about. She said it was even possible that it was destroyed at some point. Time travel was only possible with those stones if our souls were tied together in another lifetime, she said.
If I come to think of it, it must be several lifetimes. We were together in the Iron age; I saw us in the eighty's and somewhere in the medieval times where I had that baby with another guy; and Marcus saw me in the Chicago suburbs, which means he was somewhere out there too!
Did our cursed story end up tragically in every lifetime?
What made our souls be tied together?
Why and how did gemstones get bound to our souls?
Why were we cursed? When? By who?
Can the curse be lifted somehow?
The minute we came back from our little strol

The druid disappeared through the portal and I followed him slowly. I landed on the cold ground with a thud. The cave was surprisingly dry and there was no dripping sound anymore. The druid was looking at the cave exit that would lead us to the outside.So this was what Max and the others who walked out of the tunnel were looking at. We were so close to emerging out on the other side of the river, and I stopped them to stay the night and take the longer route. They must have hated me for that.I walked to the emerald grotto with perfect looking creamy white steps. I wondered what lied beneath but didn't dare to touch the water. Everything about this place gave me creeps."There is no river outside!" The druid exclaimed."That explains the dry cave, I guess.""I can only see dense forest, and the sun is about to set in a bit. Let's hurry!"He dug into the bag that he brought with him."Hold onto this for a second," He said, handi
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 43 | Cold Heart
After dinner that night, my ego lost the battle against the longing for Marcus, and I sat down to write a letter to him, telling him how much I missed him and how I wished he was here with me.His marks on my skin were gradually disappearing with each passing day; the bruises that he gave me on my arms and thighs were almost healed or replaced with fresh bruises from training with Aiden.We were growing apart with not much to hold on to. I brought nothing with me as a souvenir. I saved his shirt that he tore off during the heated moments but I was so mad at him before leaving that I forgot to pack it with my stuff.With not a picture to look at, not a present to cherish. I remembered then that I did have something from him; the wedding ring, a simple piece of iron that never failed to make my heart leap with joy.But why should I be the one to write to him? He fucked up and hid such a big truth from me. He just let me be instead of coming to get me like S

The house was unusually loud today. Marcus's sudden arrival had my whole family, including the extended members go crazy with whipping out several dishes."He's just one person! And he doesn't eat much at other people's homes." I tried to stop my mom from serving huge heaps of a dozen items.Marcus's forehead creased with a frown. I closely observed his eating habits when we were traveling back from the fortress."You talk like you know a lot about me." He muttered while looking at my mom for more colcannon."So buttery, I love this!" He said, eating it too quickly."Your wife made it." My mom's words made my face turn beet red."It's nice and buttery but a little too salty for my taste. I am not a fan of cabbage."He changed his opinion on the dish.What was he trying to achieve by pissing me off more?"Looks like you are not the only one that's pissed off here," Iona whispered to me."What the hell should he be ma

Marcus got hold of me when I was slowly sliding out of bed."Stay for a few more minutes," He said pulling me close and pressing a kiss on my cheek."Aren't you starving? It must be lunchtime already. I can smell fried onions and garlic.""Mmm me too! I have to go out for a little bit after lunch... will be back before dinner.""I was looking forward to spending the day with you.""I would have loved to. No one knows that I am here. I was supposed to take care of more useless peace treaties further east. I sent Max to do that for me. But I have to meet Dumnones today.""Who are Dumnones?""Dumnonii tribe is another tribe like yours. We have plans to build a Roman settlement there. But right now the harbor is only accessible by water. The military enclosure will need access by road. Exporting tin will be a lot more efficient too if there's a road. They are known for tin mining.""So if that tribe had silver mines and mine had ti
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 46 | Heart-to-Heart
Training with Aiden was a nightmare today. Marcus promised to talk more at night and left to meet the Dumnonii tribe after lunch. He figured out most of the crazy stuff on his own these last couple of days. The weight of many things untold got lighter unexpectedly this noon. I just had to reveal one last thing and the hardest thing... that I was not Allena.I rehearsed my lines several times, imagining a different reaction from him each time."Allena, why the fuck didn't you go with him if you were going to think about him all day anyway? Aiden spat in irritation."I need this. I feel stressed.""About what? You have to focus, or just get the hell out.""I'll do better, I promise!"It was much easier on other days when Aiden had me do a mix of things for hours; sprinting, working the core, thrusting heavy wooden weapons at a fast pace, and my least favorite of all, wrestling.Today was the fateful day where wrestling was the main focus. Allena was good at kicking and hitting but unfort

We laid on the grass, feeling spent and blissful."I have been meaning to ask you something since our wedding night," Marcus said with a sudden frown on his face.He yanked me into an embrace and pulled me on top of him, staring at me. His moves were gentle but his face and body looked tense."Ask what?""Who the fuck is Jon?" His tone was lightly admonishing."Er..." I cracked an anxious smile at him."I wanted to lay next to you that night, even if it was just for a little bit. I wasn't very confident because I expected you to have feelings for Neill. I was careful not to wake you up---""So you did kiss me that night? And untied my knot?!" I asked interrupting him, almost forgetting about his previous question.He paused for a few seconds before saying, "I did. I wanted to take you into my arms too but you had that silly thing in your hair that scratched my face when I got close.""It's your silly custom. You have no
Love Without Time Limits (AC2) Chapter 48 | Mourn Me Not
There were wounded bodies lying all over the hillfort grounds, soaked in blood and rain. Everything happened so fast that we couldn't wrap our heads around the events of the night until around dawn.It started raining right after Marcus left me with Iona in the house, which was probably around 3 AM. The fighting continued for another hour or so until all the attackers were either dead or had fled.Aiden and Marcus captured four people alive but they succumbed to their fatal wounds before they got medical help. No answers could be extracted from anyone as to who planned the attack.Neill's father was severely injured before he got hold of one of the raiders. It proved futile though because some of these raiders were just paid fighters who were clueless about where the orders came from."This happens all the time," Selma said. "The hillfort offers some protection but we still get attacked a lot. Most tribes do. We had some peace for the last several weeks b

We stayed at my home for two more days, making sure that Devin was back to being all healthy and his usual goofy self.While returning to Marcus's family home, he had an idea when we reached the river crossing."I think we should try to see how the stones work. The caves are perfect places to create portals without drawing attention.""You mean now?""Why not? If it works, we will just see where it takes us, and we will be back in a couple of hours.""Time works differently though. If we go to the future, a couple of hours spent there equals a day here... I think. One day there is a week here, so you do the math. I suck at it.""Holy smoke!""But I think it's a great idea. We should eat some pizza and come back! Yes!! There's this awesome place in Chicago, we should go!""What the hell is a pizza?""Oh, it's the best thing! We have to see if this takes us to Chicago because we are going to need some money, and I can't ge
