Chapter 114

Soma’s POV

Opening my eyes, I wasn't sure where I was. I couldn’t see anything it was like the room was dark and cold.

“Hello?” I called but there was no answer. I didn’t know if I was still with King Gideon or if someone finally saved me. I was afraid since I couldn’t see anything. I still wasn't sure if it was because I was blind again or because this place was so dark. “Please is there anyone out there?”

“Don't be afraid.” a woman’s voice spoke. “I am Seff, I am your wolf,” she said I could feel her getting closer to me, but I could also feel like she was taking some caution.

“How?” I asked taking a deep breath. “Why can't I see you?” I said with tears threatening to come out of my eyes.

“You lost your vision again,” she whispered. “I am trying to heal your eyes, but I don’t think we will be able to,” she said sadly. “With what the vampire King did to you, I almost lost you. You are still fighting for your life, you are confused and lost and I am trying to help you find your way back to your mate.”

“My mate?” I asked confused. “He abandoned me,” I said as the tears fell. “I know he didn’t want me anymore otherwise why isn't he here? Why can't I feel him?”

“Soma, you are far too weak to feel anything, you have to understand you are part human. If you were full Lycan you would have been healed by now. But you don’t know anything about our world, and until we learn it together we are going to be stuck in this world.”

“How do we get out of here? What happened?” I asked still dazed from where we are. I wanted to see where we are so I could help us get out of here but it didn’t seem like I was going to get what I wanted. I was scared for Oliver, did he come and find me and he is keeping me safe?

“Is Oliver okay?” I managed to ask.

“Yes.” She said. “He is worried about you just like everyone else is. I know you feel abandoned but I promise your father, mother and mate are with us. They have been trying to help me heal you but this is something you and I have to do together. This is the only way we can have a connection and be able to be together in our lives.”

“But I don’t even know anything about wolves. Before I met Oliver I didn’t even know people that had wolves existed.” I said with a sad face. “Now I am one of those people? Why didn’t anyone prepare me for this or tell me about my past?”

“I don’t know.” She sighed. “All I know is, we have to figure this out together, and I promise you nothing will ever happen to you again. Your real mother put a spell on you to protect you from those that wanted you for harm, when you met Oliver things kind of turned wrong, and of course, you and Oliver didn’t get to mate. Because if you did, I would have been here already to protect you and nothing like this would have happened.”

“So this happened because I found my mate?” I asked.

“Yes, that is how the spell worked. Your mother thought if you found your mate, things would be okay but you already had a lot of people looking for you. Gideon lied to the Council and forced their hand that is why you ended up in London.”

“Did he mark me?” I asked trying to hold the tears back.

“No, he wanted to force you when he came back, but Oliver killed him before it happened.” She said pacing around. “The vampire King tried to force you to become a hybrid which gave me enough power to take over and kill him before he could complete it.”

“So why are we here?”

“Your father.” She said. “He remarked you and forced me back into my prison. I don’t know why you are here other than me trying to heal you enough to send you back.”

“So how do I get you out of here too?”

“You have to mate and mark Oliver and he has to do the same to you.” She sighed. “I know this is a lot to take in but I think we’ll be fine, once we’re back in your world I am sure you will understand a lot better.”

I didn’t know what to think, I wanted to mark Oliver whatever that meant. I wanted to have my wolf around so if something like this happens at least she could help me when I feel powerless. I still didn’t remember anything beyond the beating that I received but that doesn’t mean anything. I wanted to know more about what happened, but I wanted to talk to Oliver about it. I wanted him to help me bring my wolf to the surface.

“I know you feel like you are lost, but I promise we will find our way back. I just have to keep healing you.” She said touching me, she had fur it kind of tickled but she was comforting and I felt safe with her. I knew where ever we were safe.

“I keep feeling this power and then it goes away after a while.”

“I have felt that too, I don’t know what it is but I feel like we know it.” She said. “But we have to wait until it comes back around again, it might even be our mate trying to wake us up.”

“I wish we would wake up, I am dying to see Oliver.” I missed him more than I thought, and I wanted to hear his voice and be able to tell him I was sorry that I couldn’t hold on a little longer. I was afraid he was going to be mad when I woke up, but I knew that was just because I was insecure. I knew he had feelings for me, he told me he did when we went on our dates.

“Seff I want to get out of here, help me wake up. I want to bring you to the surface, I promise I will get you out of your prison too.”

“I know you will Soma, I know we have a lot to talk about. I have a lot to teach you, but I want you to understand you may not be able to see when you wake up.” She said sounding sad. “I know we can get around being blind, but I don’t want you to think of it as punishment because I don’t think the Moon Goddess did this.”

“I don’t think she did it either.” I didn’t blame anyone for doing this except maybe the vampire King, but Seff said he was dead so I didn’t care, I just wanted to find a way out of here. So I could explain to Oliver what we would have to do when things are ready. I wanted Seff out of here, this dark place was scary even though I couldn’t see I didn’t like it either. I wanted to get out as soon as I could.

“So have you been here before?”

“Yes, this is my prison that I was placed in when you were a baby.” She said sounding sad. “I know your parents wanted to protect you, but they didn’t even give me a chance to protect you. I was sent by the Moon Goddess and they tossed me somewhere dark because they wanted to save you from me.”

“I don’t know if it was like that Seff. I know it might seem like it, but I promise they wouldn’t have done that because they hated you. They gave me up for adoption, and I never knew I was until I left Colorado. They abandoned me right then and there even though they raised me. I feel like that was on purpose.”

She didn’t say anything and that was okay. I knew my heart was telling me the truth, I knew we would find our way out of here and I knew things would be okay. I knew Oliver wouldn’t give up on me, even though when I first came here I thought he abandoned me but I knew that was because of what happened to me.

I wish I could remember what happened, but maybe it was for the best I didn’t know. I would ask Oliver about things when I woke up, and I hoped he wouldn’t lie about anything. I needed to know what I went through, that way I could help Seff come out. I needed her to be released, maybe my parents knew how to get her out of this prison. I hated this place and I had only been here a few minutes. I couldn’t imagine how Seff feels with her being in here, and being freed and then put back in here. I hoped she wasn’t feeling negative about this, I needed her to stay positive otherwise it was going to be a lot harder to get out of here. We needed to bond I knew that part because we don’t know anything about each other. Maybe she knew more about me, but I had a lot of questions and it sucked I couldn’t see her, but maybe that will change soon enough, I hoped at least.
