Chapter 231: COME WITH ME

Chapter 231 COME WITH ME

Seraphina lips curled up in a smile as she stood listening the Alpha’s silly mate question the other girl about her identity. She happened to come just at the right time, in the middle of this interesting conversation. How will Haven react if she learnt of the truth, she wondered.

“ Then explain this... “ The silly Alpha’s mate kept blabbering. “ How is it possible?... I just don’t understand.”.

Seraphina let out a sigh of annoyance. She disliked people who talked too much. If it was up to her, she wouldn’t be seen near the Alpha or anything that had something to do with him but the Moon Goddess had other plans of course. She should just get this done and over with already.

“ And you won’t.” She finally said, crossing her hands over her chest. This grabbed the attention of the other two girls, causing them to turn to her direction with the speed of light.

“ Who’s there?” One of them asked. It was the second girl, the taller of the two. Seraphina could clearly hear the fear hidden beneath her voice. As a reply, Seraphina began to move towards them, her eyes fixed on the main reason she was here, Haven.

“ You..” Haven growled. “ Why are you here… Seraphina?”

“ Oh wow.” One of Seraphina’s brows raised in surprise. “ You’re able to recognize me even in the dark? I feel flattered.” She chuckled stopping a few steps before them.

“ Who’s Seraphina?” Avena asked a bit lost. She glanced between both women, none willing to answer her.

“ This witch..” Haven gritted her teeth remembering their previous encounter. She had almost lost her life in this wicked witch’s hands— twice!

“ Aw..” Seraphina feigned a hurt expression. “ Hearing you say that hurts a lot. We also have feelings you know.”

“ You can go to hell for all I care Seraphina. Tell me why you’re here?! What is it that you want this time? Aren’t you tired of trying to kill me? ”

Seraphina frowned hearing this. “ I have no idea what you’re talking about and I have better things to do than waste precious time on something as worthless as you.”

Her reply made Haven gasp.

“ How dare you—”

“ Aren’t you interested to know why she has silver hair too?” Seraphina ignored her and turned her attention to Avena instead. “ Aren’t you? I can tell you what you want to know..”

“ And what’s it to you? I don’t need your help—” Haven started.

“ You can never find out the truth without me.” Seraphina smirked.

“ I don’t need a witch’s help—"

“ Then I guess you don’t need anyone to tell you that this girl here is your sister.” She dropped the bomb.

“ I SAID I DO NOT NEED— Wait.” Haven paused, allowing Seraphina’s words sink in. “ What? What did you just say?”

Avena’s head too sprang towards Seraphina when she heard, her mouth slightly open in shock. “ What?”

Seraphina smirked, loving the reaction she saw on their faces. She shrugged. “ Well it’s a pity, I guess I should be off then.” She turned to leave, the smirk on her face growing even more.

“ Seraphina!” Haven’s yell stopped her, causing her to look over her shoulder. “ Where do you think you’re going? You can’t just leave!”

“ What do you mean by sister? How- How is Avena my sister? I’m the only child my mother birthed. How can you say she’s my sister?” Haven was completely confused.

“ Your mother was once pregnant with a child, correct? ” Seraphina glanced towards Avena.

Haven nodded. She vaguely remembered a time her mum was once pregnant. If Haven remembered correctly, the child was born dead and her mother nearly lost her life. She never conceived again after that.

“ Yes, but- but she lost that child .. she almost died too after—”

“ The child never died.” Seraphina shook her head. “ It was taken away from her during birth. And that child is standing before you right now.”

Haven’s eyes travelled to Avena who was staring back at her, completely lost for words.

Her sister? The child her mom conceived was alive? And she was Avena?

Haven felt her head was going to explode from all this. She couldn’t understand. She didn’t know if to believe what the witch was saying or not.

What if Seraphina was lying? But she had no reason to lie to her. Besides, everything of Avena was just like her mum’s. And the silver hair was enough proof that she indeed related to her. But was she really her sister?

“ Alpha? Alpha?! ” Kai’s voice brought Lucious out of his long train of thoughts.

“ Huh?”

“ You didn’t hear a word I said, did you?” Kai shook his head. Well, he shouldn’t be surprised. These days, the Alpha was always lost in his own thoughts. He’s been like this ever since the Luna went missing.

“ We’re here Alpha, just a few minutes drive to the old healer’s house.” Kai informed and Lucious nodded his head.

The rest of the drive went on smoothly.

Lucious eyes drifted out the window, staring up at the dark clouds which were like a huge blanket covering the sky.

“ The sky.. looks quite unusual today..” He said loud enough for Kai who was driving to hear.

“ It looks like there’s going to be a heavy downpour tonight. I wonder if we could make it home today if it rains.”

Lucious went silent. It’s been a long time he’s seen rain. The phone in his pocket vibrated yet again and this time, he brought it out and switched it off completely. Natasha had been calling over and again since he left home. Lucious had no time to listen to any of her antics right now. His mind was already occupied with the thoughts of his mate.

Haven… he wondered where she was right now. Would she have loved the rain? What was she doing? Was she also staring at the clouds like him right now?

Lucious sighed. He had so many questions, so many questions that didn’t have an answer.

“ I’m not going anywhere with you.” Haven said firmly, eyes staring at the dark clouds. “ Have you lost it? Can’t you see it’s about to rain?” She looked back at Seraphina.

“ I thought you wanted answers?” Seraphina frowned.

“ I don’t trust you one bit, why should I come with you?”

“ Fine then, I’ll take her instead.”

“ Avena isn’t going anywhere with you.” Haven hurriedly pulled the confused looking Avena yo her side. I’m not coming with you, neither is she.”

Seraphina rubbed her forehead in frustration. Gosh, this Alpha’s mate is really something else. How can anyone be this stubborn.

“ Look, Haven.” Seraphina glared at her sternly. “ I really do not have much time. I know you have so many unanswered questions. You both have to come with me if you want answers to all of your questions.”

“ We’re not coming with you.” Avena who had been silent ever since finally spoke up. It took her a while to register what this strange woman with orange hair was saying. Saying she was Haven’s sister sounded simply unbelievable.

How can she be her sister? Was it really true? And if it was, where had she been all her life? Where were her parents? Why didn’t anyone come for her? Why was she abandoned?

Avena had a lot of questions she wanted answers to. And this woman said she would answer all of them yet Haven wasn’t ready to listen. Avena had no idea who this woman was and though she would give anything to know the answers to her questions, she couldn’t simply trust a woman she barely knew.

“ Neither me nor Haven are coming with you, I think it’s best you leave our home.” She said politely.

This made Seraphina chuckle loudly. “ Home? Seriously? Do you two want to gang up and kick me out now? Sisters power?” She chuckled again.

“ I believe you heard what she said? Get out Seraphina!” Haven’s words made Seraphina clench her fists.

“ And I believe you heard me say you have to come with, I do not have much time—”

“ We’re not going anywhere!” Both girls replied simultaneously.

Seraphina’s lips pulled up in a smirk. “ I guess I have no choice then, I’ll have to take you myself.”

“ What do you mean?” Haven’s brows pulled into a frown. At the same time, the sky thundered and a huge lightening bolt struck the window behind them causing both girls to shriek. The wood caught fire immediately, roaring and spreading to other parts of the house.

“ Are you out of your mind?! What do you think you’re doing?!” Haven yelled in alarm seeing the fire grow even more.

“ Stop it! My house! Stop it!” Avena shrieked watching her home burning before her very eyes.

“ Like I said, I don’t have time.” Seraphina rolled her eyes and within the blink of an eye, closed the gap between her and the girls. “ You girls are coming with me.” Her hands landed.

“ Right now.” She added as another thunderbolt sounded in the sky above them Before any of them could say a word, Seraphina snapped her fingers and just like that, disappeared from the tiny room. All that was left amidst the burning house was the lif

eless bodies of the two girls falling to the ground with a great thud.
