The Hybrid Queen's Mate ✔ GxG

49

I rushed Lauren to the faes emergency room and they immediately started to check her vitals. I stood to the side, along with Celestine and Amoya. The others were still at the area doing God knows what.

"She's perfectly healthy." The doctor said with furrowed brows as she rested the stethoscope down. "Everything is okay, her heart rate is normal and it appears as if she's just sleeping. There's something slightly off but I can't seem to place my finger on it."

I looked at my mate and tried feeling her presence through the mate bond. She was there, but it was faint.

"We'll keep her for the night and examine her, if thats okay with you, your majesty?"

I nodded and the three of us left the room, leaving the doctor inside.

"What happened back there?" Celestine asked, still in shock.

"I don't know." I mumbled. I was confused.

"Every single life force that I have put in there has died immediately upon touch. Lauren was there for a good few seconds before you notice her and nothing happened to her. It was almost as if... she was immune to the darkness." Amoya said as we left the ER.

I was silent the entire time, thinking of all the possibilities of how this could be possible.

One lingered.

One possibility lingered.

"Amoya." I stopped walking and so did they.

"Yes, Athena?"

I rubbed my hand over my face and sighed.

"Do they have any pictures of Ophelia's child?" I asked and she looked at me in thought.

"Yes, I suppose so. I can have Venice check the archives for you."

"Please do."

"Why?" She asked and I resumed walking.

I licked my lips as I stared out to... hole of darkness. It still looked the same as before, no changes to it.

"When she was seizing, her skin went pale and then back to normal, her eyes turned black - like the portal and it coursed through her body. As clearly shown, she's immune to the dark magic. Like you've said, any living thing that touches it, perishes. What other logical explanation could it be other than she's the daughter of Ophelia?"

"She's human! So what if the magic doesn't work on he-" Amoya and I glared at Celestine, shutting her up.

"I'll have Venice check the archives and in the meantime, we can do run a background check on Lauren to see if we find anything about her. Celestine, you can keep tabs on Lauren and report to Athena if any thing."

Celestine nodded and headed back in the infirmary.

Amoya led us to their library and asked for a guy named King. The fae soon presented himself - except, he wasn't a faery. He was a horse- half man, half horse. My eyes widened slightly.

I've never met a centaur before.

They were rare, very rare.

"King." Amoya nodded at him and he did the same back to her. "This is one of the queens of the vampire nation and she is asking for your help. Athena, this is King, a centaur, one of the best I know at doing anything that requires virtual assistance."

We shook hands and he led us to a small room that was hidden in the walls of the library. It seemed to be his lair as he led us into the extremely tall room. There was a portrait of a few centaurs running wild and another of him.
