Chapter 47

Eric’s p.o.v

“Brother!” Ian came rushing towards me.

“Brother” I said with a sigh as I allowed his embrace. I was tired.

I needed a break from all the things that had been happening.

“How are things? I heard she is unwell again” he seemed genuinely worried about her.

“She was dying. I had to change her,” he froze. It was the most dangerous thing to do, undeniably.

“Have you gone mad? How can you do that? Does she know?” He looked even more pissed when I shook my head no.

“Eric-“

“Well it’s not like I had anytime to tell her anything. Immediately she woke up, she went into a fit and started having multiple visions at once.” He sighed and sat on the chair nearest to me.

“You are suppose to be with her, why aren’t you?” I bowed my head in shame. How was I going to say it out without sounding like a dog?’ I thought to myself as I buried my head in my hands.

“Eric? Why aren’t you with her?” I kept mute.

“don’t tell me you are planning to give up already?” I shook my head no. There was no way I was going to give up at my second chance at happiness, at love.

“Then why are you not with her, at her side? There to comfort her when she needs you the most at this time?” he spoke just like my father would. Chastising me for not doing the right thing this instance.

“because I cannot.” I wished he would end it there, but obviously not. Knowing Ian, he would be more than determined to get the reason out of me, even if it meant we go get over it .

“What do you mean you cannot? Is she spelled? A harm to you? Does your presence make her situation worse? Can she not stand you anymore?” I shook my head no at all the guesses he made.

“Then what is it? What is it that would make you not be at her side this period? What would be so important than your mate?”

“I am in heat Ian” I said in a low voice, unable to look at his face.

My mate was fighting for her life in there and I could not be with her because my animalistic side was showing.

“I am in heat in the midst crucial time of my mate’s life and u cannot be near her because I want to jump her pain filled and unconscious bone.” I scoffed at myself.

“How pleasant” I said in pain.

I muted out his voice as My mind went back to how It all started.

…∆∆

“Where are you taking her to?” Melissa yelled in panic.

“To the fields. She is going to change. And if she is to do that she needs a spacious area” I said as I carried her bridal style out the room.

“Ahhhhh!!!” an ear piercing scream was let out by Eloise, Making me loose my footing a bit.

“Make it stop, please make it stop. My eyes. They hurt” she mumbled, clutching my shirt tightly. I looked to Melissa for help. Maybe she could understand what was happening. She too looked terrified, which to am extent was calming. At least she was not being indifferent about the matter.

Again she looked like she was having a seizure but her eyes where white this time.

“She is not meant to have this much visions at once” the calm I was felt seeing her being terrified was replaced with a fear of my own. One that I only felt last, when I met the dead body of my mate.

“What do you mean what could happen…..” I didn’t get to finish what it was I was saying as I felt Sparks and was simultaneously was hit with the most amazing smell ever.

Luckily for me, Melissa did not notice my breakage of words as she was very occupied with the almost unconscious body of Eloise.

“Take her” I struggled to say.

“No. You hold her. I need to go to my sisters and get some portions that would help her. On hearing that, I held her a little bit more close to me.

“Are you witches?” If there was one thing, it was to never trust witches. Her mum and her coven was a good enough reason as to why.

*Your majesty, I think this is not the right time to ask who is who. Rest assured that I. Her guardian in this life as I want her to achieve her success. Killing her right now would be pointless for me.”dhe had a way with words I would not lie.

The way the words flowed smoothly without any obstruction or breakage.

I nodded. Right in front of me, she disappeared. I tried not breathing, it was pointless. The sparks were more than enough

Before she had gone, she had done something to make he visions lessen a great deal.

“I am sorry I took your life away from you and gave you one that you may not be prepared for, and this may seem selfish as I do not want you to leave me in this world as it would be empty with out you to be in it. But I promise that I would be with you in the best way that I can.” I said to the most likely unconscious woman that lay in front of me, with the palest skin and the darkest shade of red hair.

I looked at the plum lips of hers. I wondered to myself how this was the first time I noticed how fine and kissable they looked.

She took in a deep breath and my eyes went from her face to her breasts.

I could not help the nagging feeling that kept in reminding of how wrong this was.

And then again, there was this voice telling me how it was okay since she was my mate.

Her scent was intoxicating. Dreamy to say in the least. I wanted nothing more than to bask in that scent go goddess knew how long and then bury myself in that scent.

“Please, wake up” I pleaded, adjusting the hair that had dared to try and keep her face away from me.

I bit back another wave of arousal that hot me in this state as I looked at her, vulnerable.

I hated myself for loving, wanting and craving her under my arms, not even be caring that she was unconscious.

Somehow, In some way, I had managed to climb into the bed with her and cuddle her tight.

“This is wrong” I said to myself, but it did not stop me from placing a kiss on her cheeks and then on her lips.

“I am messed up!” the scolded myself and I then pulled myself out of the bed where she lay and then continue to watch her.

I placed around the room, trying to clear my head. Nothing was working. It only seemed to worsen the situation as her scent followed me everywhere infiltrating my brain and daring not me to you her, to complete the already started mating process…
