Her Descendant
Hot angry tears started trailing down my face but I am trying so hard to hold them back because I am not weak and I can handle the rejection very well. I just need to calm Lora to avoid the disasters.
When I entered our room, Emily was not there and for the first time, I was thankful that she was not there so I could calm myself down without telling her about my embarrassing story.
I closed my eyes to calm Myself and Lora Down, we are the same but at the same time so different. I don't know much about her as I didn't even know what she is and how I got her in the first place. I need to visit the library again to know about Lora and my family background.
" I know you are hurt, Lora, and I am too but we should know that we need to be calm to not hurt anyone or anything like last time." I let the words sink in and she just grunted in response but I know that she is agreeing with me. I may not know her entirely but slowly I am getting to know her as her emotions and my emotions are the same.
I don't have time for heartbreaks and the guessing game of mates. My priority is to know about my identity and my purpose so that's what I am going to do.
I stood from my bed and went to the bathroom to clean the last traces of my tears because I am not going to cry anymore.
Leaving the room I walked through the long corridors which are clear of people so I don't need to hear what is happening in the palace. I may seem closed off and not care about him and her but it hurts and I am not in the mood to get hurt again.
I can teleport to the library but I want to clear my head till I get to the library and I need fresh air in my lungs to kick out his intoxicating scent which is still lingering in my senses.
Throughout the hallways, I was still haunted by his thoughts and touch. I don't want to think about him but with each second it's being hard and I know I am going to get that cheating pain soon as Veronica has came and they will soon start doing things and this time I am not going to numb anything because the pain will be the reminder that he will never be mine and we will never be together.
I opened the heavy doors of the library and entered, I took a large gulp of air filling my lungs with the smell of old books and earth. I feel calmness washing over me for the first time today.
I started looking in the aisles about my kind to know about our ancestors and mainly about my ancestors Lora talking about. I need to know why a witch and a Demon are mates and why I can feel the mate bond but he doesn't.
My fingers stopped at a book tingles spreading through my fingers and Lora Whispered " This is the one." I pulled out the book which looks so old and I opened it to see a language I don't know.
" Do you know this language, Lora?" I asked my companion and waited for her answer.
" Yes , Aiza! You sit back and let me take control." I pushed myself back of my head and gave the way to Lora to read the words from the book.
" This book contains the history of our kind and how the first Witch was born and what magic she possessed." I hummed at the information as I know most of the history thanks to my grandmother.
"Aiza! She has the same visions you are having and the other gifts too." She whispered, doubt and curiosity clearly be heard in her voice.
" Do you know who you are?" I asked her, waiting for her to tell me about her as I didn't ask her till now as I was so indulged myself in mates drama that I should have talked with Lora first.
" No, I don't remember anything prior to the events we both encountered." Everything is so jumbled and messy and I don't know whom to ask.
" I have a slight insight about our Situation Aiza!" Lora muttered, making me perk up curiously.
" What is it?"
" I think you are the descendant of the first Witch looking at all the similarities between you two and we have her picture in this book too and you look like her." She pushed me to the front so I could see the picture she was talking about and to my surprise I was looking at myself in the old book.
" I think you are right, Lora and we need this book with us to know more about her and us." I tucked the book under my arm so no one could see it. I don't know if I am allowed to take books from here but no one is going to stop me.
" Hmm! I knew I was going to find you here." I was startled by the deep voice that sounded from behind me.
" Oh my god! Damien, you scared me." I clutched my heart as it was beating so fast like it's going to come out of my mouth. Damien always has bad timing.
" I am so sorry. I didn't know that you would be jumping like a scaredy cat." A chuckle left his mouth seeing me scared because of him. Men and their sense of humor.
" What are you doing here!" I rolled my eyes at him and started walking towards the door to go to the room and finish reading the book.
" I can ask the same." If I roll my eyes one more time then my eyeballs will be stuck in my head.
" I just came here to read some books about herbs and plants." The lie easily slipped out of my mouth. Damien knows so much more about me and I can't risk more.
" Oh it's boring stuff." He started walking beside me in the hallways leading to my room.
" Yeah." I am not in the mood for a talk as my head is on the book and I am thankful that Damien is not talkative.
" So what happened with Quentin?" My body went rigid and Lora whimpered inside my head hearing his name. She hadn't forgotten about his rejection and the way he hurt us.
" What happened with Emily?" I countered back knowing he won't tell me anything why they behaved so awkwardly in each other's presence when they never were like that before.
This time his turn to go rigid and I know he will drop the topic.
" You should ask her." I hummed knowing I shouldn't have to ask her as my best friend would spill her guts out once we were alone in the room.
We were standing in front of mine and Emily's room and from the lack 9f heartbeat from the room I know Emily is still out there.
" Thanks for walking with me, Damien." I gave him a warm smile which he returned and bowed slightly and turned around to leave not before a lingering stare towards the door and I can see longing in his stare.
I turned the doorknob to enter the room but the voice behind me stopped from entering.
" Aiza!" I turned around my stilled body towards the voice to see her standing in front of me looking gorgeous and regal with her head held high. I am stuck in shock and surprise. I thought she would not be leaving her room as she would most likely be traumatized by her abduction but she is standing in front of me like nothing happened.
" Yes, Your highness!" I bowed in greeting with the eye contact still intact.
" I need your presence in my chambers, follow me." She didn't wait for my answer nor waited to see if i'm following her or not and why is she asking me to come to her chambers?
Did she get to know from someone what I had done in her mate's chamber?
Is she going to punish me? Every single negative thought started swirling in my head making my head throb in pain and whatever is going to happen in which I was not the only one in the deed and the Devil king has to own up his mistakes too.
