Prophecies (Book 2 in Young Mate Series)

Chapter 25

Aria Pov~

Pacing - Pacing is the only thing keeping me from smashing everything in this dark room. I was foolish, I let my stupidity get the prime of me and now my pack and family is in danger. 

"Aria stop pacing your making me nauseous!" Bella begged.

"Where is Rose? By the time she gets here we will all be carcasses." I declared.

"She will be here. Aria stop." She said grasping my arm and making me stop infront of her. 

She looked me in the eyes and smiled.

"Take a breath, stay composed and be indestructable!" Bella uttered, while glancing over to the kids in the play pen.

"If not for yourself, then for them." She murmured.

Rose barged into the room, trying to catch her breath.

"Whats wrong Bella, Alpha?" She asked frantically.

"Rose thank you for getting her promptly. But I need your help. Marcus's men are in this mansion and around the territory. I need you to cast a spell to block them from crossing the boundary line and leaving the territory." I entreated.

"Alpha I would love to help but I am afraid I can't be of any assitance." She said sorrowly. 

"Why not Rose?" Bella asked. 

"I am being hunted by a man that I have tried too long to stay hidden from. If I use my magic he will find me." She desperately.

"What if I ensured your safety. Will you do it then? Please I beg of you Rose, the entire pack and werewolf community are in your hands," I stressed.

She stalled, contemplating whether to help or not. She looked me in the eye and asked:

"Do you promise to protecct me?" 

I took her hand and looked dead in her eyes

"Yes." 

She drew in a shagged breath and then walked over to the mahogany table. She picked up a candle placed it on a book and closed her eyes taking another breath. 

"Do you have an object that belongs to any of the men?" Rose asked.

"Uh yea. This ring." i said handing her Trey's ring we found.

She smiled and closed her eyes again, she concentrated enough and the flame lit on the candle. She placed the ring on the flame, melting it into liquid gold. She summoned some words. causing the ground beneath to shake a little. 

The runmbling stopped, Rose opened her eyes, and the fire went out. 

"It's done." she breathed out. 

"Thank you Rose, your end of the bargain will be held up i promise. Just don't leave this pack house." I commanded

"Thank you Alpha." She said bowing before leaving the extremity of the room. 

"Bella you stay here with the kids I am going to check on Blake and Henry." I say turning to depart the room, before she stopped me. 

"Aria are you idiotic, your pregnant you cant get hurt." Bella bellowed.

"I dont have a choice Bella. This is the only thing I can do right now. I am out of options!" I said through gritted teeth.

She dropped her vexed face and looked at me with sympathy. "I'm sorry." she whispered

"For what?" I asked

"For not having a choice." She murmured.

"Me too...." I muttered.

I turned and left, walking to the elevator, with blurred vision. The elevator "ticked" and i walked in sniffling. 

I agressivly pushed the basement button and angry wiped away the stray tear that dared to slide down my cheek. It wasnt suppossed to be like this! I was suppossed to find a mate at the right age, have kids and grow old together, be a normal family. The hardest decision I was suppossed to make was whether or not I would let my daughter go out with the bad boy that my mate just happened to dislike. 

But the Moon Goddess chose me as her slave for her people, and I have no way to go back to the normality of this world. 

Then again I am a werewold with special powers, how normal is that? I was chosen for a reason, to make the hard decisions and live with the guilt. 

The elevator opened and I hesitantly stepped out and walked down the cemented hallway, frantically looking around for the group of guys. 

I fast walked (since i cant run), to the prison cells. Blake and Henry were locking the last 2 cells filled with Marcus's men. 

Blake was bruised on his cheeks and arms, he had scartches on his eyesbrows and a huge gash on his stomach. Henry was scratched on his face and arms, plus he had a black eye. 

It seems like they were healing already, which is good. i met blake half way and wrapped my arms around his neck, soaking up the comfort of my mate. 

"Are you ok?" I asked as I put my hand on his bruised cheek.

"I will heal. Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yes I am fine." I said reassuringly.

"No your not. What did you do?" Henry asked walking loser to us.

I looked at him and I guess my confusion showed because he said:

"I protected you. The Guardian has been fully activated."He smirked.

"Do you feel any different?" I inquired.

"Yes, stronger. I can feel my mind connected to you and 3 others. I'm guessing those are your kids. All my werewolf abilities has been heightened." He gushed.

"I'm happy for you." I say smiling and giving him a hug.

"Aria what is it that you dd?" Blake asks.

"I seeked out a witch named Rose.  We made a deal, she sealed all of Marcus's men into the territory so they cant leave and in turn we offer her protection." I reply.

"Aria are you mad. Do you know what Marcus has the ability to do now? They set him free Aria. Marcus is out of prison." Blake exclaimed.

"Why? How?" I asked flabbergasted 

"When you summoned The Elders over here that gave one of Marcus's men the oppurtunity to go over there and free him. They have the masking spray and they got in and out. The guards had no clue." Henry informed.

"Ok but I dont understand why is trapping them into the territory so wrong?" I asked, utterly confused.

"Marcus will be looking for his minions and when he realizes they are not by his side he is going to come here and take them away." Blake says.

"Attacking us and the pack in the process." Henry added.

"What did I do!"  I breathed.
