Chapter 57 - Outburst
Sarah.
“Sarah, how long are we going to hide from everyone? We have to tell them that I have marked you and now you are my Luna.” Milano said,
“What's the hurry? First let me get familiar with my new identity. Then we can tell everyone.” I opined.
“Sarah, the smelling power of us werewolves is amazing. We can tell just by the smell if the person is a human or a werewolf. That's the reason why I was against keeping Mary here. Dad would easily find out that there is an outsider.” Milano said,
“Then, why didn't you tell me before allowing her to stay here? I wouldn't have forced you.” I said,
“That's fine because she is a witch. She can hide her smell from my dad. I think that would be the case with you too. You always smelled like a human and so did Teddy. Mary can hide her smell because she knows how to do magic. She is a trained witch. But that's not the case with you. You didn't even know you were a witch or a hybrid.” He said,
“Wait, I became a hybrid when you marked me. It might be because I have Alpha blood in me.” I said,
“No, you were always a hybrid. Your wolf told me that I just freed her. She was tied up for your own safety. I don't know anything about your parents. I just know that your mother was never marked and so she never became Luna. She was definitely the queen of your kingdom. Everyone believed that she was a human and that shows that your mother was a great witch. Even though your mother never became a hybrid, the blood and genes of your parents made you a hybrid. But why does Teddy smell like a human?” He wondered.
I have the answers to all his questions. I now know that whatever I saw in my dream was true. I know why my mother never wanted to be a Luna. But I am confused when it comes to Teddy. I also wonder why Grandma never told me about my truth. She could have taught me to do magic and save myself from the cruelty of Mrs. Salazar. Everything is really confusing but I have to get the answer.
“Milano, what if I try to do magic? I know I have to get training but still, there's nothing wrong with just trying.” I said,
“Try then. I have heard Mary saying that to do magic one should have high concentration power. Try to concentrate on what you want to do.” He said,
“After that?” I asked.
“I don't know. I have seen Mary doing some chanting but I don't know what. Just try your luck, Sarah. I am with you.” He gave his support.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on what I wanted to do. My hands began to move on its own accord. I don't know what I did but when I opened my eyes the room was back to its earlier form. Even the torn mattress was back on the bed as good as new. The only thing that wasn't back to its earlier version was my dress. The pieces of my dress were neatly piled up in one corner. I couldn't believe my eyes.
“Milo, did I actually do it?” I asked.
“Yes and you were amazing.” He said,
“Did I chant something?” I asked.
“You did chant something but silently. I couldn't hear what you were chanting.” He said,
“Well, that means I know magic but need to practice. Can I perform magic on your leg? I mean, what if I can fix your leg?” I asked his permission.
“You can try but as far as I know or heard from Mary, injuries can be healed through medications. Definitely witches can make medicine to speed up the healing. You can't fix my fracture through magic but you can definitely reduce my pain.” He said,
“Okay, I'll try to reduce your pain.” I said,
I helped him back to the bed and again I closed my eyes and concentrated on my aim. I just wanted to take away his pain and again my hands moved on their own. This time something really unexpected happened. The magic worked in a way that it reduced Milano's pain and at the same time I felt the pain. It started as a mild pain but soon it became unbearable that I couldn't concentrate on the magic. I opened my eyes which were filled with tears. Did I just take his pain in my body? That should be the correct explanation because he seemed to be happy.
“Is it still painful?” I asked.
“You are awesome. I don't feel pain anymore. Thank you, sweetheart.”
He made me stand up but I lost my balance and he caught me. It felt like all my energy had been drained. He helped me to sit on the bed.
“What happened my dear?” He asked with concern.
“I think it was not the right magic. I think I took your pain into my own body. I feel weak.” I explained.
“Do you still feel the pain?” He asked.
“No, I just feel drained out. I want to rest.” I said,
“I have the solution for your tiredness.” He said and went towards the small refrigerator in the room. His pain has dissipated but he is still limping. He came back with a small bottle. It contained a red liquid.
“Drink this and you'll feel better.”
He gave me the bottle and I drank it without thinking. It tasted like shit and I threw the bottle away.
“What was that Milano?” I asked.
“It was blood.” His words made me nauseous. I was about to run to the washroom when he stopped me.
“I am joking my dear, it's just a medicine made by Mary. She made it for me six months ago when I had an accident. I didn't have many injuries but it did cause intense body pain. So she made it for me. She gave me an extra bottle for emergency use. If you want to know the ingredients, you can ask Mary.” He said,
“I would have thrown up here, Milano. How could you crack such jokes?”
“You have to accept that now you are a werewolf and that too a hybrid. Tasting blood is not abnormal for us.” He reminded me.
Suddenly, we heard a scream. We both jumped up and ran to the door forgetting that Milano still had the injury and I was just wearing a t-shirt. He almost fell and I caught him in time.
“I'll go and see what's happening.” I said,
“Sarah, change your clothes first. You are wearing my t-shirt and everyone will know you were with me.” He said,
“But I don't have any of my dresses here.” I said,
“There is one in the bedside drawer on the right. I kept it so that I won't feel alone when I miss you.” He said,
“That’s so sweet of you. I'll go and change.”
I quickly changed into my clothes, and then went back to the room.
“I'll go and check what's happening.” I said,
“Can you please help me walk? It's not hurting that much. I just need support.” He said,
“Okay”
I helped him out of the room and the shouting is now clearer. It's coming from downstairs. I helped Milano to the elevator. When we reached the ground floor, we were shocked to see the scene in front of us.
Mary stood in the middle of the room and was getting chained. Milano's dad was giving instructions to his men at the top of his voice. Milano's Grandma and mother were standing at the side helplessly looking at Mary. I looked around and let out a sigh of relief when I didn't find Teddy there.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Milano hurried towards Mary ignoring his injury.
“She trespassed our boundary. I am going to punish her.” His dad said.
“I gave her permission to stay here. She is here because Liam is at the hospital and she wants to be with him. She can't stay at the hospital and that's why she is here.” Milano explained.
“How dare you keep her in my house without my permission?” His dad roared.
“Dad, I am the Alpha and I don't need your permission to make any decision. Now leave her.”
He ordered and at once his men followed his order. Mary was released and I went to her.
“I am sorry for what happened.”
“Why is this girl with you? I have already told you that you are not going to marry this girl. You will marry Miss Coleman.” His dad said, looking at me with disdain.
“She is Miss Coleman and I don't think you should have any objection to that. Dad, why don't you understand that she is my mate.” Milano was not ready to give up.
His dad suddenly came towards me and I had a really strange feeling. Something was wrong with this man. I knew it from the beginning but now I could see it clearly. He is bewitched.
