Chapter 14
Zamyr's POV
My heart was breaking when I saw my Rose in so much pain. When I dropped her off at Sandra's place all I wanted to do was be near her. I knew why Sandra kicked me out. I was patiently waiting outside when the house literally started crumbling. I was about to rush in when the windows shattered and something came barreling towards me. To my surprise, that thing avoided me and continued its way towards the castle. Then there was an explosion. Then everything quieted down. I knew that my Rose was safe. I wasted no time and teleported to the castle. What I saw made me speechless. Part of the castle was now a huge hole and the roof was missing too. The protective shield was no longer around the castle. I started searching for Cedric and making sure on the way that nobody got injured.
“What happened here, Cedric?” - I asked him when I finally located him.
“A witch, that's what happened. The person had to be new to this and very strong too. The shield was totally destroyed so was part of the castle.”
“Damn! That was Savannah, my mate. We discovered that she's a witch, but she didn't know that. Her powers surfaced today and I had to bring her here or she would've died.”
“Okay, at least we know what happened.”
“Let's go outside and see if anybody got injured.”
Thankfully the injuries were just scratches. Being able to do magic is helpful after all. People were rushing somewhere, but most of them were cleaning up the mess. I spotted Sandra among the people and made my way towards her.
“Is everything okay?”
“Yes, everything is fine. Savannah is exceptionally strong and I couldn't channel all the excess power and this was the result. She's okay and she's helping inside. Her powers will be out of control for some time, but she'll eventually learn how to control them.”
“I'm glad to hear it. What about the shield?”
“As soon as the castle is whole again we'll restore the shield. It'd be even better if Savannah could help too, but we might have to wait for that. She'll be staying with me for a week and then she can go home with you.”
“I'm not sure that'll happen, but I really appreciate your help. I have to go now, but I'll be checking in on you later.”
I saw Cedric talking to the workers who'll be restoring the castle. It might take a few weeks, but it doesn't matter. Thankfully only the north wing got destroyed and we can live without that for a few weeks. I desperately wanted to talk to my Rose about everything. I wanted to tell her my identity and what she means to me. Now I had to wait for a few more hours.
“How long will it take to repair the damage?”
“He said around three weeks if they work simultaneously inside and outside. If they do it separately around five. They still need to assess everything when the debris is no longer in the way.”
“Okay, that's good news.”
“You! I'm going to kill you. Why didn’t you say anything when you had the chance? Why didn't you let Maddie tell me who you really are?” - said an angry voice from behind. I instantly recognized that it was Rose.
“Nice to meet you officially. I guess you figured out who I am, Rose. And I didn't tell Maddie to keep my identity a secret. She made that choice. I wanted to tell you once you're truly conscious, but the circumstances changed.”
“Don't call me Rose, you hear me? And when exactly did you want to tell me the truth?”
“As soon as Sandra helped you, Rose.”
“Do not call me Rose!”
“Savannah, calm down or your powers will get out of control again.”
“I can't calm down Sandra. Did you know who he really is?”
“Yes, but I didn't know that he didn't tell you. I promise. Now, take deep breaths and calm down a bit.”
Sandra tried calming her down and thankfully it was working. She looked hot when she was mad. By the time the guards realized what was happening around them was late. After things calmed down I needed to talk to them. If it would've been an enemy, I'd have been dead already. Then suddenly everything went downhill.
“So, this is the bitch who caused this mess? Pathetic. You should go back from where you came from and destroy that realm, not ours.”
When I heard the sentences leave his mouth I became furious, but so did Rose. She lost her cool and her powers went rampant. There was another loud boom and her powers collided with the castle again. Dust and debris was falling everywhere. This time there was no shield that could protect the building for some extent. Her powers collided with the walls directly. Most of the people were laying on the ground except the one who said those hateful words. He was pinned to a tree by Rose and her powers.
“Sandra, do something before she destroys herself.”
“I can't, I'm too weak to control her powers. She's no longer in control of her actions and powers. Rage is controlling her. The only way to stop her is by calming her down.”
“How do we do that? I'm no use either. She's just as mad at me as she's mad at everyone else.”
“I don't know. Do you know from which bloodline she comes from?”
“No, why?”
“There's a way to calm down witches when they're out of control. If she connects with her bloodline the powers inside her will recognize where they belong to.”
“I didn't have the chance to ask Maddie given the circumstances. I'll call her and ask. How much time do we have?”
“Ten minutes tops before she destroys something else.”
*“Hello Maddie, it's Zamyr.” - I said as soon as she answered.
*“Oh God! How is she?”
*“Let's say she's okay. Listen, do you know who's her ancestor? I'll tell you everything later.”
*“Iris Russeau, why?”
*“Thank you. Like I said later.”
I knew that I was an asshole for hanging up on Maddie, but we had more important things to take care of.
“Iris Russeau. Do you know anybody from that bloodline?”
“Crap! Yes, but now I know why she is this strong. Iris was just a little girl when her mother left the realm. She was the sister of the coven leader. They left because originally her mother should've been the coven leader, because she was stronger than her sister. But their father favored the older daughter and changed the law when he figured out that Cecilia is stronger. However, I'm not certain how that could work. The powers of the coven leader chooses the strongest witch. When she discovered this she left. They're still the coven leaders, but since Cecilia, nobody has possessed so much power. I guess Iris inherited her mother's powers. I'll have to take Savannah to our realm.”
“Do that. While you're gone I'll explain to everyone what's happening. What do you need?”
“Something that can knock her out. She can't be reasoned with at this moment. Then I'll open a portal to the realm.”
“Consider it done. It's an injection that can knock out even the strongest fae. It should work on her too.”
I was right. She didn't even register that she was injected until she collapsed and she was out like a light. Then Sandra quickly grabbed her, opened a portal and disappeared. Everything was quiet and everybody was waiting for an explanation.
“This was no how I planned to introduce my mate, Savannah, to you all. We discovered that she's a witch, but she didn't know that. She's stronger than most of the witches. Her powers were surfacing today and she was in pain. Only a witch could help her, so I brought her here. The explosion earlier was the result of her powers surfacing. And this one was caused because of some hateful comments. I hope this won't be repeated in the future. There won't be a punishment today. As you can see, the castle was further damaged. We need to work together to repair everything.”
I looked back at the castle and sighed. This time the south wing suffered. That meant I became homeless for weeks. I knew that the following weeks would be hard on everyone. I took a glance at Cedric and he was in shock. I guess he wasn't expecting my mate to be a spitfire. My phone has been buzzing in my pocket ever since I hung up on Maddie. With a sigh I answered the call.
*“Finally! What the hell is happening to Sav?”
*“She's okay and conscious. She's too strong for one witch to deal with her powers. When her powers surfaced she destroyed part of the castle. Then everything was okay until she figured out who I was and got mad. One of my people cussed her out and she flipped. Her powers were uncontrollable and she destroyed another part of the castle. I needed to know the name of her ancestors so Sandra could ask for help from them.”
*“Wow, okay. At least she's okay. What will happen to her now?”
*“She has to stay a week with Sandra to get the hang of using her powers. Then I have no clue. I have to go now, because everything's a mess here. If there's something I'll update you.”
*“Thanks and don't let anything happen to her.”
*“I won't.”
I looked around and dust was still in the air. Everything we've done so far went down the drain and we had to start from the beginning. I looked around and I knew that people needed a more detailed explanation. That had to wait until the two women came back.
“Cedric, what's the possibility that all this can be repaired in five weeks?”
“I'd say it's impossible, but I know that you know this too, so I won't.”
“Yeah. This will take longer. We have enough resources, right?”
“Of course, but we will need volunteers to help out too.”
“They will help. They always do it even without asking. I just hope they'll accept Savannah after this.”
“They will, it just might take more time than it usually does. She's insanely strong and she needs to learn how to control the powers she possesses. You seriously didn't tell her that you're the King?”
“I didn't have the chance. At first she didn't see me and when she finally did, her powers surfaced. You know the rest.”
“It wasn't the wisest thing to do, but you can't change the past. Once she's back you need to tell her everything. Keeping secrets won't get you anywhere.”
