Chapter 195
Lelia watches with curiosity and close attention as Celina dips Amara's unconscious body into the half filled bathtub that contains water and some special herbs Celina got herself from the nearby woods. "Your hand," Celina says, taking Leila's hand, holds it over the tub and she slices it with a curved dagger allowing the blood to flow into the water.
She waves her hand over Leila's wound and it immediately seals up and then, she slices her own hand over the water.
"With your werewolf blood and my witch blood, her magic will be suppressed for a time," Celina says and she begins to chant.
Leila watches with bated breath and a racing heart as the water in the tub slowly becomes red, like the drops of blood in it and Amara's eyes fly open, still in her unconscious state. The water begins to steam and dry up and Amara yells in pain when Leila hears something snap.
She grits her teeth, purses her lips, clenches her fist her side and tears pour down her eyes in pain for her daughter's sake. Every instinct in her wants to grab Amara and save her from this pain but Celina already warned her not to interfere with the process, no matter how gruesome it gets.
"Mama help me! It hurts!" Amara yells as she becomes conscious, tears flowing from her eyes that are full of pain.
Kelvin rushes in when Amara's scream becomes deafening just as Leila crashes to the floor, crying her heart out, wishing she could take the pain for Amara as Amara holds the tub, stretching her hands towards her mother for help. Kelvin hugs Leila. "It's okay, you're doing the right thing."
Amara's limp body drops back into the empty tub and she yells one last time but when Leila looks up, it is not Amara that she sees, it is Amara's wolf, pitch black with golden eyes but there is something different about it.
It has a visible aura around it, multi-colored, bright and beautiful.
"She was not supposed to shift but I think this is the only way she could have survived it. That aura around her must be the presence of her magic, apparently they have both blended instead of her magic becoming suppressed, the ways of the gods are indeed strange.
Celina sighs in worry, looking at the wolf with surprise before she turns to Leila.
"Your daughter keeps defying the
odds, a truly special child. Never before in history has a werewolf shifted at such a young age. Even the powerful Lycans have to wait fifteen years to be able to shift. You must warn her and you too must take great care to keep it a secret. Not a soul outside this room must know this, it will attract the wrong kind of attention, the dangerous kind. No one is supposed to have this much power and certainly not a kid her age."
Elsewhere within the blood oak pack, as Amara is being plunged into a new phase of her life, Carmela pays an old friend a visit.
The guy she paid to kill the pack witch to frame Leila for it. He has been kept in prison all these years since he could not be persecuted in Leila's absence.
"You finally come to visit," the man says when Carmela steps in front of his cell. "I hope it is to get me out of this hell hole."
"What hell hole, Tristan? I make you very comfortable in here, don't I? You are secluded from the rest of the prisoners, you have the best food, wine, booze, entertainment and even women, I would say you are in heaven," Carmela replies in a curt tone.
"Fuck all that Carmela," Tristan barks at her, his eyes cold and vengeful, his voice low yet dangerous. "I want my freedom. I want to eat food, drink wine, booze, entertain myself and fuck out in the open, not in this crapped up place."
"Just fucking shut up, your head would not have a body if it wasn't for me protecting you."
"Oh....you're my fucking protector, aren't you? Like it's not your fucking fault I'm even in this mess at all. You promise me freedom, that I would go free when you become Luna but it's been," Tristan spreads out his pation in her face, "FIVE-FUCKING- YEARS."
Carmela bares her neck to him, pointing at it.
"You see the mark of the fucking Alpha on me Listen," her voicenoveldrama
drops an octave lower. "I'm going to rally some pack members to bring up the murder of the pack witch, now
puth Leila is back and we will
put her away for good this time. I need to be sure we are still on the same page."
