The Soulmate Mark

C H A P T E R 50

Athena woke up on the floor by the tree.She looks at her hand to see if this is her normal reality.Again no ring. "Shit.Really Oryn.Again."She gets up.Charles is waiting for her.He opens the door to the car and she gets in.They head to the castle.She wonders what game it is going to be this time.She looks at her arm and her soulmate mark is still there.She sighs in relief.She goes in the castle once she gets there with Charles.She sees Vivienne,Roland,Sage,and some strange figure sitting in a table together. "Athena.There you are."Vivienne said.Xander walks in. "Hi babe."He says to Athena. "Mum,dad; who is this." This strange figure stands up and turns around.Athena gasps and Xander's eyes goes wide. "Anthony?" Xander said. "That's the guy from the ball who tried to hurt me.What he is doing here." "What.Athena.This is our son Anthony.Xander's brother as well as Sage's." "But isn't he supposed to be dead."Xander said. "Yes,but Nolan told us the truth so we did some investigating and we found him." "Ok that's all well and good but how come he almost killed me." "Hello Athena.I didn't mean to."He took off his hood and his face was just as handsome as Xander's.His voice was deeper too. "It's just.One night I had the strangest dream.This older women whose name I forgot was telling me to go to my home in Gantrick and claim what is mine.And when I woke up I had this strange mark on my arm."He lifts up his sleeve to reveal Athena's soulmate mark. "I did some research and I learned more about it.But anyway when I was little I was transported to the third realm where I was adopted.I asked my parents about the truth and that lead me here.I was determined to find out who this mark belonged too.I believe in the soulmate mark as silly as it sounds.I was at that ball to introduce myself to my parents but I saw you.You are the most beautifulest girl I have ever saw.I got closer to you and saw you had the mark.I was going to take you and ask you about the mark." "Really but you had a knife to my neck." "I'm sorry where I grew up we had to fight for whatever we wanted which means using weapons and all that.I would have explained but you stabbed me." "But I asked who do you work for though which doesn't make sense." "I work for myself.I did that willingly.Now that I am here.I want to get to know you Athena.Alex don't worry I am not going to tkae over as king." "Anthony,it's Xander.And Athena is mine.She is my soulmate not yours." "That's impossible because I have her mark." "Anthony I have Xander's not yours."

"Well then.Sage why don't you and Anthony go do some bonding while I take care of this."Vivienne said. "Okay Mum."She grabbed Anthony's hand and walked away. "I am so sorry Athena.But now I am confused." "Me too." "I can't believe this." "Xander calm down." "No.My whole life it was always about Anthony.He was going to get everything.But Athena is the one thing he isn't going to get." "Xander you were little when he dissapeared." "I know but you always brought him up and compared me to him." "I'm sorry son.But Athena is there anyhting that you know about the marks that this has happened with." "No."She paused and remembered what Nolan said. "Actually yes.Nolan awhile ago he told me that I was supposed to be with Anthony as his soulmate mark but he went missing so it changed to Xander." "You can't believe him.After him trying to take over the kingdom." "Xander can we talk somewhere please.Alone." "Yeah".She took his hand and lead him to the greenhouse.
