Chapter 66 - A new journey

Sarah.

“I know you are nervous but are you excited too?” Milano asked.

We are in the car and he is driving. We are going to my kingdom. He did ask me to go with him in his chopper but I declined. I have never traveled in air or water and the thought of it makes me tense. I suggested we go in the car without any driver. It's just a couple of hours and I will get more time to spend with my man.

“I don't know what to say. I just can't name my feelings right now. Yes, I am happy that I am going to meet my family but I am also worried. What if they are behind my parents' murder? I know that they have been murdered and I need the answers. I just know one thing - I can't trust anyone there.” I said,

“I am actually worried about their reaction when they meet you. Are they going to accept you?” Milano asked.

“I have already informed Mr Buchanan. Well, he is the one who left me at my grandma's place. He is the only one who has seen me and can testify that I am their lost Princess Jovita Coleman. I don't care if they accept me or not. I just want to find out who killed my parents. By the way, Mr Buchanan wanted me to go with his son, as he still believes that I am his son's mate. I just declined the offer and asked him to be at the Coleman palace when I get there.” I explained.

“Did you tell him that I am with you?” He asked.

“Yes and no. I did tell him that I am not alone but didn't say who the person is.” I said,

“Let's hope for the best. I do have another doubt. When they meet you, they will get to know that you are a hybrid. What are you going to tell them? As far as I know, the whole Coleman family doesn't know that your mother was a witch. Mr Buchanan too doesn't know that you are no more a human.” Milano's question made me think for some time.

“I should actually hide my real identity. Whoever is behind everything does get the help of a witch. It's better to hide my identity. I will try to do it. Mary did teach me the magic to hide my identity as a hybrid. No one will be able to identify my wolf. I have never tried it. Just give me a few minutes. I will try and then you can tell me if you are getting my smell or not.” I said and he agreed.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on chanting. I carefully followed everything Mary had taught me. Finally, when I opened my eyes, Milano was still driving.

“Now tell me, do you get my smell, I mean as your mate?” I asked.

He first pulled over the car on the side of the road and looked at me in disbelief.

“You smell like a human. I can't believe this. You are awesome. I can guarantee you are going to continue the legacy of your grandma and mother. No one would believe that you have just started doing magic. I have heard that new witches make mistakes and it takes them a lot of practice to make it perfect. But you are already perfect and I am so lucky to have you as my mate.” Milano took my hand and kissed on the back of the hand.

“I am the lucky one. I would still be just Teddy's mama, if you didn't realize that I am your mate. You changed my life and it's because of you I found my true identity.” I said,

“By the way, I always wanted to ask you. Why did you name him Teddy? Usually, Teddy is given as a nickname.” He asked.

“What if I say that I like teddy bears? When he was a baby, he was just like a cute teddy bear. The moment I took him in my arms, I felt a connection with him. He became my reason to live forward. If it wasn't for him, I would have given up. Your wife was definitely a sweet, kind and lovely lady. She actually sacrificed her life to save her son. She left her magic of love with Teddy and that's what protects him from all the danger. There was a lady who helped me to stay for the night at her place with Teddy. She suddenly disappeared and I don't know what happened to her. But I now know that she was a witch.” I said,

“Yes, she was sweet, kind and beautiful. Even though she wasn't my mate, I fell for her after our marriage. That was just because of her behavior. She was kind to everyone and everyone in the pack loved her. We were really happy as we were going to get our heir. I still blame myself for not saving her. Her full body was covered with bruises. She was tormented till death and yet she saved our son. She is definitely an incredible mother.”

His words made me sad not because I felt jealous but because I felt as if I had taken her place in Teddy's life. Teddy doesn't know that I am not his real mother. He has no idea how his real mother sacrificed her life to save him.

“What's the matter? Did I hurt your feelings by talking about my late wife?” Milano asked.

“No, you didn't hurt me. I am sad because in a way I took her place. She deserves to be known by her son. He has to know that his mother sacrificed herself to save him.” I told him.

“Don't worry, we will tell Teddy about Emma. But only when he is 8 years old. He is too small right now. If we tell him now that you are not his biological mother, it might have negative effects. Let's wait for the right time. For now, just concentrate on our journey. We have already covered half the way. We will be there in an hour. If you want you can take a nap.” He said,

“Do you think I can take a nap? I am so nervous right now that my legs are freezing.” I said,

“You have me and you know I will never leave you. So don't be nervous. Just think about good things and let's talk about our future.”

His words brought a wide smile to my face. The thought of being with him fills me with happiness. I have everything and I have nothing to ask for. The present aim of my life is to give justice to my parents which can be named as revenge.
