Chapter 63: Can't Be True

Did he just say that? Does that mean that he will take me and let them go?

"Yes, If you come to me, I will let them go," I am trying to think of what to do, but I can't think without him knowing what I am thinking. It is so frustrating.

"You don't have to be frustrated. There are plus sides to knowing every little thing someone is thinking."

"What would that be exactly because I don't see the upside to that," I reply, getting more aggravated that he can hear all my thoughts.

"Well, I am sure if you really thought about it, you could figure it out. I am going to spend some time with my guest and give you some space. I will drop in later to talk to you." He tells me like we are talking on the phone, not he is in my head and can hear every thought and feeling I have. I let out a huffy breath and lay across my bed. I would take their place if it meant they were home safe, but how do I trust a psycho to do what they say. I also know that Luca and Levi will not let me walk into the enemy's hands. Hell, no one else will agree to it either. The knock on my door startles me, and I jump.

"Who is it?" I ask.

"Its mom dear, May I come in?"

"Yes," I tell her, and she comes in, shutting the door behind her.

"How are you doing, dear?"

"I am not sure how to answer that, mom. I have a psycho in my head talking to me. My sister and best friend are with the said psycho. I have no idea what to do, and oh yeah, I can't think of what to do because he can read my thoughts." I tell her, giving her the most sarcastic smile I can manage. She sits down on the bed beside me and places her hand on my knee.

"Yeah, a lot has happened in a very brief time for you, dear. I know it can be scary, but we will get your sister and Emma back. We will figure out how to get him out of your head, and we will all be ok."

"I don't know this time, mom. It feels like this is different. I have a bad feeling." I tell her, not holding back as the tears start to form in my eyes.

"You feel this way because there have been a lot of changes in your life that you have had to adapt to fast. One thing after the other has hit you and us. But, we will face this and overcome it like always. You have to believe that, Raine. You are the light for a reason." I let what she said sink in as I sit and let the tears roll down my face. If I am the light, I need to find out what all that really means and why me.

"I think I need to talk to Barrett. I have some questions about this prophecy and what it means."

"That sounds like a good idea." She says with a smile. My mom always seems to make me think of things in a better light. We both start toward the door.

We go into the kitchen and find all the men at the table eating sandwiches. I want to ask him to leave now, and we talk, but I figure I should let him finish his food.

"Hey ladies, want a sandwich," Bastien asks as we walk further into the kitchen.

"I'll take a BLT," I say as I take a seat at the table.

"What is a BLT?" Barrett asks, and we all laugh.

"It's bacon, lettuce, and tomato. That is one of my favorites, and it's good any time of day." I say, smiling at him.

"Well, bacon is good on about anything," Barrett responded, and we all agreed by shaking our heads.

"After we are done eating, can we talk?" I ask Barrett, and I get confused looks from everyone in the kitchen but mom.

"Yes, I think that may be a good idea." He replies, and we all finish eating without saying much. Finally, when we are all finished eating, Luca leans over.

"Do you want us to join you while you talk to Barrett?"

"Thank you, but I want to ask him about the prophecy and me being the light. I will be ok." I tell him as I go to stand from the table. Barrett joins me as we both head outside to the backyard. It takes me a minute before I finally spit out my question.

"What exactly is the prophecy and me being the light."

"Well, as I said before, the prophecy speaks of a hybrid being born." He says, but I cut him off.

"I know what you said before, but there has to be more to the prophecy than what you said."

"The prophecy itself is long. That was the summed-up version, you could say."

"Well, how about you tell me the prophecy summed up but without leaving out anything," I tell him with a smile. I don't want to upset him. I only want to know what I have to worry about. However, I can tell by the look on his face that there is more, and he is debating how much to say to me or if he should tell me at all. He finally lets out a breath and starts walking further away from the house, so I follow him.

"It says that you will have to choose between light and dark. You will face the choice of the two through love...." I can feel myself stop breathing as he pauses after the word love. "It says that you will have a choice, and that choice will decide if you choose the light or darkness."

"What exactly is this choice? Does it say what I am choosing between?"

"From everyone's understanding that has ever studied the prophecy, it is believed that you will have multiple mates and have to choose between them. That choice is what will lead to the light or darkness."

"So Luca and Levi represent the light and dark?" I ask because they are my only two mates.

"I am not sure. It could be that, or there could be another mate. It does not say those details in the prophecy. But, in the end, no matter what, it comes down to your choice of things. It says that you will face many choices, and it is the combination of those choices that will have the absolute outcome."

"Lucky me," Is all I can think to say on the subject. Then I remember the psycho in my brain.

"Is there a way to cut the link that is in my head now?" I ask, hoping he can help.

"I can help with him knowing all your thoughts, but I can not keep him out entirely because I am not sure what he did that gave him access like the mindlink. That is usually only done between mates." Then it hits me his words from earlier and now hit me like a tone of brinks. I stopped walking and almost hit the ground.

"Wait, he has said in my head that I am his, and he is mine. Could he have done something to form a mate bond with me?" I ask, hoping that what I am thinking is not valid.

"There is no way to fake a mate bond." He says while giving me a sad face. There is no way he can be my mate Luca, and Levi are my mates.

"Then it must be something else. I have Luca and Levi. They are my only mates." I tell him.

"I hope that is the case. But, until we know for sure, let me help you keep him from knowing all your thoughts, and then we can work on finding out why he can mindlink you at all." I shake my head yes as he takes my hands.
