Chapter 41

You Are My Obsession (Part 11):
"When you finish telling her everything, what am I supposed to tell her so that she can hug me?" Ruthless asked angrily.
"What will you tell me that you make me hug you, in case you have forgotten, you hugged me all through last night and in the bathroom." Vala reminded him.
"And so? What I am going to tell you will make you kiss me senseless," Ruthless said.
"Okay, then tell me I can't wait to hear it."
"Pula, tell her," he said crossing his arms across his chest and turning so that his back will face Vala.
"But you said I shouldn't t-"
Askance, "Pula," he said in a threatening way.
"The elves Queens put an enchantment on you that made you look like this. You weren't born this way Vala, when your egg broke and you came out without the cracks except for the chains, then they did an enchantment on you which suddenly made you have these horrible cracks on your face and body. They had thought the cracks on the egg would make you ugly but it did not so they did this by themselves." Pula explained. "So Ruthless knows about the enchantment and he sent me to go and fetch the cure from the Valley of Death which I did and now here I am here with the cure." She added, showing the flower to Vala. "You will become beautiful like the way you are meant to be."
"So you mean I have been living another lie since?"
"Yes, I did not want to tell you because you got use to your face and you were proud of it, besides you were under them and two against one....you won't be able to live to tell the tale, your mother trusted them and look what they did to you in return," Pula said sadly.
"They are going to pay for all their lies."
"Not now, I need to know who gave them the enchantment first before anything. They are Elves and Elves don't practice such strong enchantment."
"So you are saying someone else might have given them the spell to cast on me?" Vala asked.
"Yes, and that person might be the one blocking me from seeing the future. It has to be the person."
"Thank you Pula for your effort and you Winter for wanting to bring back your mate's true look," Vala said, going to hug Pula first then Ruthless from his back, kissing his neck. "Thank you my love. I love you."
His heart swell as he heard those words. He was getting and adjusting to it, he liked it when his Vala used it on him, maybe one day he would say it back to her.
He turned around in her arms to face her, "I really like you too Vala," he said and kissed her passionately.
"Uh, how do we apply the flower on her?" Pula asked, interrupting their kiss.
Taking the flower from her hand, Ruthless made Vala sit down on the bare ground,.he knelt down in front of her. "Open your palms," he said and Vala opened both palms together, he made sure both palms were touching before he placed the flower in it.
He closed his eyes and when he opened it, his white eyeballs were now rainbows, he started speaking in a strange language Vala or Pula couldn't understand. His left fingernails before sharp like talons and with it, he cut his other palm, his blood dropping on the Black Willow Flower and right before their eyes, it changes, first to rainbow and then white, Ruthless stopped speaking as soon as he saw a little silver water in the middle of the now turn White Willow Flower.
"Drink it," he said and Vala drank it without hesitation.
They waited, nothing happened.
"I did it well, I spoke according to what the Fox told me."
"What language is that?"
"I can't really say Vala, I don't know and my Fox has refused to tell me."
"I haven't heard of that languag-" Vala paused before she gave a loud shout and Ruthless was quick to stop her body from hitting the floor, he rested her body on his. Smoke has started to come out of the cracks in her side face and body. The smoke destroying Vala dress in process.
"Leave," Ruthless said, covering Vala's almost naked body and Pula didn't need to be told twice before she quickly rushed into her room, locking it. Ruthless places a hand on Vala's head, trying to help her ease the pain by taking some of it. "It's okay Vala, you are going to be alright." He added smoothly.
Vala fainted.

Realm of the gods:
Ares who was just returning from his 🚆 stopped by his sister room to ask her why she failed to appear in the training. He saw her sulking.
"Why that look, my beautiful sister?" He asked.
"It's Ruthless."
Ares rolled his eyes, "And what did he do this time around? Haven't I told you to stay away from him."
"I can't help what I feel for him brother, sorry for that."
"Okay, so what seems to be the problem?"
"Yesterday was the full Moon,"
"Yes, what's our business with that?"
"He would have summoned me right away but he didn't, something is wrong."
"Again, none of our business."
"Ever since she came into his life claiming to be his mate, he has changed a lot."
"You don't expect him to summon you when he already has a mate Athena? Look my dear sister, just forget him because he has. There are many gods who want your attention but you are giving your attention to someone who doesn't want you, who doesn't need it. Let him go sister."
"I can't brother, I can't let him go. I have wanted him all my life. I love him, he just has to see how I could die for him."
"This a one sided love sister, and I will tell you, Ruthless doesn't love you get that fact. Don't miss your next training if you want to beat his new girl." Ares told her and left her room heading for his.
