Chapter 193
Leila stares sullenly at Amara's sleeping body, sitting beside Amara on the bed. Whatever Tatiana did seems to be working, the colour is gradually returning to Amara's body and her breathing is not as silent and shallow as before. Tatiana only touched Amara, she didn't utter a word or use any items for a spell and yet she did something a pack witch could not do. For someone who claims she only just discovered she has witch blood, she seems to be very strong. "Uncle Alpha, why doesn't mama like you?" Amara mutters in her sleep.
It is the first time she is saying anything since she came down with the curse.
"Amara, baby," Leila says, her eyes coating with tears, her heart flooding with relief.
She leans closer and holds Amara's hand but then the strangest thing happens.
Immediately Leila touches Amara, she is pulled in by a strong magical force, she sucks in a sharp breath, throwing her head up and her eyes change from their natural blue colour covered by a glowing golden hue and she is thrown out of the room and into vision, Amara's vision.
"Uncle Alpha, why doesn't mama like you?" Amara asks, sitting on a bench at the pack playground, slurping on a giant lollipop with Tatum beside her.
"I did a very bad thing to your mama," Tatum replies with a wry smile.
"I do bad things all the time but mama always forgives me if I apologise. Have you tried to apologise to mama?"
Tatum chuckles and ruffles her hair. "All the languages in the world won't be enough to express my apology to your mother but there are some things that a mere apology won't fix."
"Really," Amara pops the lollipop from her mouth, looking at Tatum with rapt interest. "Like what?"
"A few things," Tatum replies calmly, "but don't worry, I'll make sure your mama and I become friends again, I promise."
"Pinky promise?" Amara holds up her pinkie finger.
"Pinkie promise," Tatum takes it with his own.
Leila sees the love and affection Tatum has in his eyes when he looks at Amara despite him not knowing that she is his daughter and when he looks away, she sees the pain and regret in his eyes and suddenly, she is thrown out of the vision and back into the room. Leila pants heavily.
How did that happen? How is it even possible? That was Amara's memory she just saw and it felt so real, like she was there.
She looks at her child sharply, worry filling her again at her grandmother's arrival. Amara is a special child, how special she doesn't know but there is nothing ordinary about a child that can lift things many times her weight and throw people into her memory.
"Mama," Amara mutters, fluttering her eyes open.
Tears of joy break forth from Leila's eyes and she sweeps Amara into a tight hug, relief and gratitude takes over her heart as she sobs, kissing Amara's hair and her face. "What happened Mama?"
Leila pulls Amara away from her, gazes at her with disbelief and joy before she hugs her tightly again. "You're fine, you're fine now. That's all that matters."
"Mama, forgive uncle Alpha, he is really sorry," Amara says out of nowhere, pulling away from Leila's hold.
Leila makes a face at her but she is not so surprised, considering the vision she just saw.
Forgive Tatum, can she really do that?
She's about to reply when the door opens and Amara bolts from the bed towards Liana who enters, seemingly back to her full strength but she freezes when she sees the
older woman that enters behind
Liana.
She is dressed in a white flowing gown with black pearls around her ankles and wrists, her hair

completely grey and even though
she is much older than Liana, she will pass for an older sister
"Mama," Amara turns to Leila, the shock evident in her wide eyes and agape mouth, "it's her mama, the woman from my dreams, the one who calls me daughter of the kon."noveldrama
"Now that is no way to say hi to your great gran gran now, is it?" The older woman says with a smile.
Amara sucks in a sharp breath, her eyes widening even more as she spins slowly, full circle, looking at the three women in the room one by one. "Mama, grandmama, great grandmama, wow......" Leila stands up from the bed and curtsies. "Grandmother."
"Nonsense, my name is Celina, don't feel too young to call me that, you'll be doing my old self a favour," Celina says with a hearty smile, pulling Leila into a hug. Leila stiffens for a moment before she pulls away.
"It is so glad to finally see you in person," Celina picks up Amara and immediately, she looks at Leila sharply and the worry in her eyes slices fear deep inside Leila.
