Chapter 74 Lost Princess
Alessias pov
I remain seated on the edge if the bed in utter silence the voice inside my head is loud enough , my legs are folded in my chest . I still feel my skin humming with a kind of strange power just beneath the surface .My entite body trembles as I recall what happened moments ago how I felt as We levitated , the panic ,the sheer terror,how Alex talked me down and calmed the storm inside me .If I ever doubted if he was the man for me that single incident sealed the deal .
My heart has chosen him.
My body has chosen him.
My soul has chosen him.
My brain has chosen him..
I look around our room and it looks like a hurricane ploughed through it there are pillows everwhere , the shattered glass from the window is scattered on the carpet .The curtains are torn by their seams .What a scary out of body experience
I shiver.
So what am I now?
A witch like Angelica?
Pure blood?
An ache starts in my chest as it slowly spreads into my body I squueze my knees tightly trying to calm down . I worry about panicking and starting another wave of power. This is all so confusing a few months ago I was just just Alessia Molano 19 year old daughter of Margo . A maid in the Sirrano Household . That brings me to my mother!
Ever beautiful- Raven haired , fair skinned ,Ageless
Margo Molano.
Mother why did you leave ?
What was worth you leaving your home for?
The questions keep piling up with not enough answers.
My stomach hurts as apprehension fills me
Alexs voice echoes in my mind.
“You are never alone Cara mia”
Always supportive
Alwsys present
Always steadfast
His words hold me together more than I will ever admit .The door opens slightly and lifting my head my eyes clashes with Alex black ones .He crouches in front of me caging me between his heat.
“Alessia , we need to go out , I will tell you everything on the way okay?He sighs, “I promise you, have a quick bath and change .We need to go now!!”
My throat bobs up and down as I swallow hard “Is it because my power awakened ?Is something else going on ?” I stare at him as he shakes his head gently “Its nothing to worry about ,but your coven felt your awakening. they are expecting us.”
He runs a hand through his hair for a moment before adding “Do not be worried ,we face them together” I want to scream and say that is easy for you to say . You are not the one facing your entire life at Nineteen but instead I nod my head slowly “Okay Alex let me shower.”
Alex pulls me up gently “ I will walk you to the bathroom ” He pauses at the bathroom door “Find something comfortable ,we will be travelling by road and I don't know for how many hours . I nod moving like an auto pilot into bathroom my mind filling with resignation better to face it with Alex, Luca and Angelica than facing it alone. Once I am dressed I step out and join him shouldering my bag .He holds my hand squeezing then accept my suitcase as we step out together .We reach the door as my chest tightens.
Alex gets the door “We are going with a guide he is waiting in the lobby”
A guide
I hope he can be trusted
Angelica is still up for debate
Now this ,Guide
I hold on to Alex as we step into the elevator together and he pressed the lobby resting my head gently on his shoulder .
We step out of the elevator in silence , my heart in my throat the air is filled with urgency and something I cant name but I feel it prickling under my skin .We find Luca and Angelica waiting by the elevator .
Luca glances at me eyebrows knotted with worry “Alessia are you okay? Are you feeling better”
I glance at him giving him a small smile “Yes luca , I am okay” My eyes flicker to Angelica her grey eyes seem filled with worry and I see a flash of fear , you should be afraid I think darkly staring at her hands folded in lucas own .I want to confront her but I am not sure now is the time and she beats me to it.
“Alessia” her voice is full of regret “I did not know ,I knew you were a witch I felt it but -” I wave my hand impatiently “Not now the guide is waiting” She steps back hurt crossing her eyes, good be hurt it is what you deserve.
Alex tugs on my hand. “Luca lets go.” We all head towards the lobby .Every step I take forward feels heavier like I am being led to a guillotine . Upon reaching the lobby I sight a Man standing alone by the side and I presume he is our guide .
I nudge Alex whispering “Is that him?”
He answers softly “Yes Cara Mia.” I look at him taking in his looks, openly staring.
He is tall, his Hood covers most of his face and is standing as still as a stone.
As we approach his prescence feels very old and ancient like be has been walking the earth for far too long he lifts his head slowly .Then his ice blue eyes looks at me as if he is compelled by a power older than all of us he steps towards us and lowers himself in front of me bowing deeply.
He is not bowing for Alex!
Or luca!
Or Angelica!
But to me!!!!
I freeze mid motion as Angelica gasps and Luca mutters under his breath .“ The surprises just keep coming “
Then he speaks his voice full of respect and awe
