My heart broke at his words and I looked at him as he shook his head quickly. He took my hands into his and looked at me pleadingly. "I don't love you," he said again. He seemed taken aback by his words as he cursed under his breath.
"Wow," I said. I was hurt but I couldn't be upset at him. I just told him I didn't love him either for some reason.
"Wow," Eve spoke up. "Maybe you both shouldn't be getting married if you don't love one another."
I looked down at my lap sadly and shook my head. Syn didn't love me? This was a truth spell...so he was telling the truth when he said that?
Mia tapped my shoulder and shook her head. "No, what about that more than love shit?" She asked quickly as she turned back to Eve. "You're trying to confuse us."
"I would never," Eve giggled.
"Then ask them if they more than love one another!" Mia commanded.
Eve's jaw clenched and she sat up in her seat. "I'm not doing that bullshit. Love, more than love...it's all the same," she snarled.
Mia turned to us in her seat and moved her hair behind her ears. "Queen, do you more than love Syn?"
I nodded. "I do."
She smiled sadly and turned to Syn. "You?"
"I do as well."
"Okay, problem solved," Mia said and sat back.
Eve laughed and observed us quietly. She tapped her pen against her chin and twirled her brown hair between her fingers. "This is actually pretty sad," she said. "If the two of you knew your future..." she stopped talking as she began giggling and I frowned.
Her being a Seer and talking about my future didn't sit right with me at all. It scared the hell out of me. "What's our future?" I asked.
"You," she said happily as she pointed at me. "You end up very very alone." She zipped her lips and threw an imaginary key in the air and I shook my head. "That's all I'm going to say."
"What do you mean alone?" I asked softly.
"Nothing," she said with a shrug. She looked at her watch and smiled. "They should be here soon."
I turned to Syn worriedly and he wrapped an arm around me. My plan seemed to be getting away from me with each passing second. I wanted to kill Eve, but we needed to see the Seers first. There were penalties to running from them and I couldn't risk that.
Eve was rambling about random things, but I closed my eyes and snuggled into Syn's hold. I was terrified for Xavia's life. I had no idea about the curriculum of which they decided how they'd murder a baby, and I was anxious. I wanted to give my daughter some type of warning but I wasn't sleeping anytime soon.
The room brightened suddenly and white light flooded it. Syn covered my eyes with one hand and a few moments later it disappeared and the room was back to normal. I blinked a few times and screamed when I saw four people in blue robes behind Eve.
