The Cold She-wolf

Chapter Fifty: good luck, mate

Raquelia's POV

   "I knew it!" Krystal shouted. "I knew this was a plot against my sanity. There is no way I am going anywhere with that…that…that…" she pointed accusingly at Lynn.

   "Handsome Greek god." He completed it.

   "Exactly!… No, wait! I meant to say this annoyingly and stupidly…"

   "Cute and sexy." He completed it again.

   "Yes… I mean no! Urgh! Stop confusing me! He's a prick and I won't go with him, full stop." She said blushingly, her mask covering her cheeks but I could see it as clear as day. Oh, my freaking mother universe! What the hell has he done to my cold-hearted foster daughter?!

   Lynn raked his hair seductively. The girls would have screamed if they weren't voiceless. "For you, cold shine, I'll gladly be a prick," he said with a suggestive wink. She understood what he meant and huffed angrily while blushing.

   "You are…"

   "Too glorious, I know. Thanks, babe," he said, putting his hand dramatically on his chest. "She loves me," he cooed, wiping off imaginary tears. The girl who is supposed to be heartless is behaving like a stubborn teenage girl. I averted my eyes at Jena and she stared right back at me, shocked. Damn, this mate bond must be stronger than I thought.

   "Krystal," I called. She looked at me with eyes filled with annoyance. "You are going,"

   "But Aunt…" I looked into her eyes. "But…but…b…fine!" She said defeatedly. Lynn grinned. Like father, like son.

   "You shall all leave through the jets I'll provide. You leave in three days, so prepare yourself. You can talk to your captains and arrange yourselves, make rules, and read the file concerning the universe you are visiting. It's up to your captains. You are all dismissed." I said calmly, returning their voices.

   "People going with me, meet me in the gym in an hour. I have a nitwit to kill." Aaron said, smirking menacingly at Frost while cracking his knuckles and neck. Frost gulped.

   "Krystal, see me right now." I stepped back, predicting her next move. As I predicted, she leaped up from the ground and landed on the half-destroyed rail. Jena giggled while Aaron scoffed and walked away.

   "Hey, Aunty J," she smirked at Jena. Jena smiled cockily. "What have you been up to?"

   "You know me, I'm never stable."

   "Whoo," I said unenthusiastically.

   "Jealous much?"

   "Humph," I shrugged and walked away. Krystal followed.

   "So, what's the catch?" She asked, bouncing behind me.

   "What?" I asked, looking over my shoulder.

   "You won't insist I go there without a reason. What is it you really want?" She asked calmly, nibbling on her nails. I smiled and looked ahead. "Does this have anything to do with—"

   "No, it doesn't," I cut in, "when you get there, you must find the winter witch of that universe. Tell her to give you ‘it’ which existed from old and do not let her know you have something to do with the seasonal guardians. You must resist using your powers the most. Understood?"

   "What is the thing?" She asked curiously.

   "You'll know when you touch it," retrieving that item or rather, snatching that item wasn't supposed to happen now, but she needed it. To be honest, it wasn't necessary but I also had my selfish interest. As this universe keeper, I wanted to make my subordinates as powerful as possible. Since I can't always interfere, there was nothing wrong with increasing the strength of those kept under my care. Krystal clicked her tongue uninterested. I knew what she wanted. "Yes, it's dangerous," I said, rolling my eyes. "You will have to fight her champion for it and he's strong." She grinned widely.
