Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Artemis POV *So this day finally came, huh. Melinda the very switch that created the curse and at the same tkilled off her wolf, my daughter, for a petty thing called revenge. I can never hate humans even if they have done sterrible things like killing my family. Nora showedthat they do have value, I cto her way early because I saw that she was worthy ofso I appeared inside of her mind and I was there for her. I told her the truth that I wasn’t ready to cout in front of everything and everyone. I was still grieving from the loss of my daughter and I needed to gather the energy that I needed to find the witch and stop her for all tto come. I told Nora that she needed to be stronger before we could shift. But I didn’t mean that she needed to work out, I meant that we needed our mate. Then she found her mate and I finally could gather more strength but than it happened, Nora met her other mate and I felt my strength going away. I was trapped inside the very scurse which my daughter was sacrificed for. I am going to die finally but without taking the switch. withand now it dawns on me, I have fallen into the very strap, I want revenge, just like a human. I will not die before I get revenge on her. I told Nora to go forward the ceremony so I get the witch. 1/4 she still had powers. So when she showed Nora her memories of when the curse was created and I saw how my daughter died, I becdevastated and in that moment the witch lockedup in Nora’s mind alongside with Nora.
I sighed at how stu pid I am, sigh. I am one of the oldest lycans that ever existed and I was once again weak and let that stu pid witch tra mple right over me. Nora was crying as the witch that had taken over Nora’s body hurt Ares’ one of Nora’ s mates.
And now the stu pid witch is trying to hurt the king by rejecting Nora’s mates but as I gave Helios a warning, the other one acted as I wanted him to he gave me back the control of Nora’s body. As Ares marked Nora by force he gavecontrol of her and I shifted partly in a way to attempt control of the witch. It hurts. Nora like hell but the witch can’t do anything and that was the plan all along. I hold the witch in place while Helios and Ares can take care of themselves. I watch as the king gets really angry and how his brother actually punches Ares but I hold my sight on Helios, trying so much for him to understand that I need help. Mia groans and stands up slowly, touching her head, since Nora knocked her on it. I glance behind at her and put my hand around her neck and squeezes, witches has this nasty habit to always know when another witch is in danger and they cright away and it look like I was right again. Mia’s grandmother Maria shows up along with Carol and My Head at them and they all stop, I try to show them what is wrong but the words won’t cout of me so I mindlink Helios. “Artemis is in control of Nora’s body and the witch inside her is under ssort of control but they need your help” Helios explains and all three witches nod. I release Mia and she coughs, I try to say that I am sorry but she backs away from me. Maria, Carol and Helene placed themselves in a formation aroundand so did Helios, Ares and the king as well. Mia stayed on the floor besides Ben, who kept her in her place and kept watch over us. In sway I feel connected to him and his lycan and I haven’ t understood why yet, but I will find the connection before it’s too late. Maria started chanting while Helene had a bunch of herbs in her hands. I recognized them, they were in the tea that Nora drank. Fa nny lights a candle that is red; red as blood. Then I felt her, Melinda, she was trying so hard to stay in Nora’ s mind but I still had strength and power in here to fight her off.
“Why are you fightingoff, wolf?” Melinda asks “Because you stu pid human, killed my daughter to create the st upid curse” I answer I feel her surprise and her regret. “I liked her so much but we couldn’t shift because I was weak, 3/4 she toldso.” Melinda answers. “She needed her mate, your second half, and you had him right beside you but you were blind, too blinded to see it.” I said and felt sad, sad over my daughter, that she died in vain “Who was it, can you at least givethat answer?” Melinda asks “I didn’t want to in the beginning but yes I can give you the answer if you promise to let go of Nora” I answer her, still not certain if she is going to leave or not. “Yes, I am sorry, I just wanted to hurt him, just as he harmed her” Melinda answered and I can feel her honesty through her words. “I understand but let go now and I will take you to your mate, he is still alive even now” I reluctantly answer her “Thank you” Melinda answers and she goes away without resisting. I feel her leaving Nora’s mind and I retreat as well. Letting Nora have her mind to herself so she can kick Ares’ a*s and mine as well, later.*
