Chapter 76
Screaming in my head no as I feel a small hand slap my cheek hard. Blinking I look up at the sparkly ceiling and the sounds of running water tell me I’m back in the bathing pool room. Tears welled up in my eyes at the memory I just had. It's not I keep repeating over and over. A shuffling noise brings my eyes to the entryway of the room. Rhett is coming through the door with a pile of furs in his arms. Sitting up I look at him. “what are you doing?” I ask. His eyes snap to me dropping the furs he rushes to me. “are you okay what happened one second everything was amazing then you started screaming and trashing around?” pulling my knees to my chest I relive the horror I saw in my head. It felt so real because it could be my fate. Pulling me to him “that will never happen we will get you and that witch back in your time and fix what is broken. “
Laying out the furs I ask again “what are you doing?” “well I didn’t want to move you too far you have gotten sick on yourself twice so I figured making a bed here would be the best option. Do you want to talk about it?” shaking my head and nodding at the same time. For the next, I don’t know how long I told him everything I remember the panic in my voice at carrying a pup with Kane. Pulling me close running his nose up and down my neck as I spill everything. And I mean everything like who Kane is what he wants and this last memory. Places a kiss just under my ear before he says “if you are caring for a pup right now my dear little wolf it would be my offspring. This Kane will have to go through me if he thinks he could even breath the same air as you.” jumping up pissed “that's just it Rhett my father already killed him. My father ripped his head off with his bare hands. I mean my father had many reasons to do this Kane was a horrible horrible blight on the earth but it was his claim on me that sealed his fate. If I didn’t have magic as I do now I would have never been able to save myself. And in these visions, I have no magic I barely have my wolf. “ huffing out at the end of my rant.
Pulling me to him he just holds me while I let my frazzled emotions settle back down. “little wolf didn’t lady Synaya tell you the timelines are in flux and it's you who will settle it down? Did she give you any reason to believe the future you will go back to is the worse version you see in your head? If your timeline is changing so much what about the witch?” shrugging “I don’t know I don’t think she would have had such a drastic difference in her life one way or the other.” I shrug. “well we now have her contained it's just finding a way to get you two back and find a way to never lose you to. Is it selfish I don’t want you to go back?” for the first time I heard his hard strong male ego crack. The sadness I feel seeping in is from the bond, not me. “Sinnann told me I would have both my mates in the future so I guess the question is how? I was born 200 years after you?” unable to stop from pushing into him pulling him to me never wanting this time with him to end. In such a short time I have come to need him in my life. We may have had a rocky start but being without this man in my life would kill me.
The room is filled with our breathing Allister snoring and the running water of the bathing pool. The tingles from where our skin touches lull me to sleep as I relax into him. The last things Sinnann said to me along with the visions. Just as the blackness started to take over I shoot up in bed. “what happens if the lake is frozen solid?” “huh? I don’t know. How would you freeze the lake and for how long? What would be the purpose?” “bare with me okay frozen water is reflective right so if the body of clear like super clear water was frozen what would it be?” “little wolf I don’t know it's late. What is this about?” “the visions and what Sinnann said. She said she will miss me when it's gone and ill need my home water to bring her back. She's the spirit of the lake I know she is she has to be why else would she.. what if we froze the lake how long could it stay frozen?” “not long the weather here is too warm for ice and snow. We can talk to my mother about it if you want. We can head up the mountain tomorrow.” “up the mountain?” looking at him in the dimly lit room. He just nods and holds the fur up for me to come back and lay down. “fine you win this time only because I am tired but don’t think you will always win.” I huff as I crawl back in bed and let the tingles lull me to sleep.
My dreams are a mix of happy endings and nightmares. They are bleeding to one I don’t know what is real or not. Kane and Rhett keep changing places their faces morphing into one. Now standing in front of me is a stranger with golden green eyes glaring at me. Ice covers me as he looks me over. Licking his lips smirking at my discomfort. Looked around for a door or window finding I am locked in a windowless room alone with this monster. The scent of iron burns my nose looking around and finding nothing. But then I feel the drop hit my foot. .looking down standing in the middle of a huge puddle of my blood. Dripping down my arm from my elbow.
“nooooooooooo”
