Forgotten

Chapter 13

'You can't protect yourself from the darkness young one, little Leah will be consumed.' A shrill voice laughed.
Looking at my surroundings, I found out that I was in dark void, more of a vacuum, but with air.

"Who are you?" I asked in a worried voice.

'The thing your dear mother has been protecting you from. She thought she could keep me away, well too fucking bad.' the voice laughed.

"What darkness are you talking about?" I ask.

"The darkness within you is far greater than any power in the universe, that's why your union is an abomination.' The voice said in an amused tone.

'Ask your lovely mother about Ivanka Rodriguez.' the voice said again.

"How do I get rid of this darkness you speak off?" I asked the man.

'You were born with it. You should be asking how it can be activated.' The voice laughed.

"How can it be activated?" I asked in a scared voice.

'Only you can release it child. You just need the right amount of hate.' The voice laughed even harder. I'm starting to think this man is drunk.

'You must go back now, your mates are worried about you.' The man said.

"How do I go back?" I asked in a duh voice.

'You are merely in a dream child, I just used this opportunity to talk to my child.' He said in an almost sad voice. The moment he said those words, a bright light flashed in front of my eyes.

Third Person's POV

Aleah woke up gasping for breath, the man's words kept on ringing in her head, the fact that he had called her his child made goosebumps rise up on her skin.

"Are you okay Aleah?" Ezra asks in a frantic voice, making Aleah confused on why he was so worried.

"I'm fine Ezra, I was just sleeping you know." She started in an obvious voice.

"More like dying, you weren't waking up, we even slapped you and nothing worked. You were breathing but you weren't responding to anything." Ezra responded grumpily.

"Oh, so that's what he meant." Aleah trailed off, mumbling to herself.

"That's what who meant? Aleah, what the hell is going on?" Ezra asked in a confused but tired voice. The whole time, Asher hadn't said a word. He was just staring at her with a calculated gaze.

"I had a dream, it's about this man. He spoke about a darkness inside of me. He said my mother has been keeping me away from him, he said I was much more powerful than I know. He also said I should ask my mother about Ivanka Rodriguez." Aleah summarized her dream in a lost voice.

"I have to go home. I have a lot to discuss with my mother. What day is it again?" She asked her mates.

"We informed your mum about what happened. It's Saturday." Ezra said while looking at her.

"I've been gone for that long? I have to go you guys, Asher, will you drop me off?" She asked him while staring at him. He nodded in response while getting up and going to the door to probably get the car ready. Ezra on the other hand frowned on why she didn't ask him to drop her. As if noticing his sadness she said,

"I asked Asher because it would be bad if other passer-by's saw the prince in a car with two wolves. It would cause more to suspect what's going on." This made Ezra feel proud that his mate was so considerate and smart.
He just nodded in response and kissed her forehead.

Walking down the stairs, Aleah was lost in thoughts as she pondered on what the man told her. When she finally reached the car, she had concluded that she and her mum were going to have a long talk about that man.
She felt a hand on her thighs, looking up, she saw her mate looking at her with sad eyes. Feeling bad that her mate was going through sadness because of her pain, she decided that she was going to tell him about Amaryllis, because if they were going to fight through any battle, they had to be honest and open with each other.

"I have something to tell you Ash." She said, calling him by the nickname she suddenly just made up in her head. Asher nodded allowing her to speak.

"I have a wolf. A white wolf, her name is Amaryllis, I have been hiding her due to the fact that I'm a shifter and people might want my gift for evil." She said while looking down.
