On a Journey To Find Love. [Zarry]

Chapter 32

Zayn. That was his name. An ancient smoke demon who was trapped for a thousand years inside a coffin by a witch. Irene could only imagine his hatred for witches, yet he had not hurt her grandson so far. Still, she wanted to be careful, so she gathered all information she could get on him, all while keeping an eye on Harry. 

It was very well known amongst the witches that a powerful witch named Razia had trapped an ancient demon. Razia became famous for the act since no one had dared to trap an ancient demon before. But why she trapped him, no one knew. 

The demons who had lived long enough to know Zayn did not think that he was trapped. They thought he ended his life after some witches killed his family. It was not the kind of information she hoped to find. This would mean that Harry was in danger because this demon was not only ancient but vengeful as well. 

Irene didn't need to know more about him. Instead, she began to look for ways to protect her family from this ancient being. There were two options. Killing him or trapping him. Finding believable sources on how to kill an ancient demon was impossible and trying methods she was not sure would work would be too dangerous. The only person who knew for sure how to kill an ancient was Lothaire, but Irene knew he would not give her answers without getting anything in return. So there was only the option of trapping his left. 

But while she tried to look for ways to trap the demon, she could not ignore the strange things that happened. Why did the mark fade away so fast?

Even though she was curious, she had been relieved it was gone until she found out that Harry went to visit him. She remembered the panic that day, how close she was to tell her son that his son was in danger, but to her surprise, Harry came back to his room safely. And he was the one who brought him back. 

Irene became even more confused. What did he want? What were his intentions? 

If he did not want to hurt her grandson even after the mark had faded then what else could he want? He was acting strangely. 

But Harry was also acting strangely by going to visit him. He also seemed to care for him still, even after the mark disappeared. Irene could only find one reason for both's behavior. 

They both are true mates.

She did not sure if it was a good thing, but it kept her from wanting to trap Zayn before knowing the whole truth. If he was Harry's true mate, then trapping him would mean hurting her grandson. 

Irene needed to find out more about the mark. How did the mark work if it was caused by a spell? It was a difficult question that could only be answered by the most knowledgeable witches. The Azure coven. They lived in the desert. 

Irene had to seek them out. It was not easy to find them. They lived in tents and moved around often. When she found them, they did not accept to meet her at first, but Irene insisted, and eventually, they agreed. They took her to the coven leader, an elder woman. 

The elder witch sat on a mattress on the floor. She motioned for Irene to sit in front of her. 

"I see you have traveled a long way." The woman spoke. "I am sure you have come for an important matter." 

"Yes. Do you know a witch named Razia?" Irene asked going straight into the matter. 

"I have heard of her. She was the one who trapped an ancient demon."
