POV: Alcina

All in attendance were quiet.

Just a moment ago, Andrada was screaming and howling like she was being tortured. The sight of her on the white tile writhing in pain while I could do nothing for my mate was pure agony. It felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest every time she let out another blood-curdling scream

All of us were just standing there in shock while we watched on in stunned silence.

Even Karl made not a noise when Andrada finally succumbed to the darkness.

When my scrambled mind came out of its shock, I processed the words Mother Miranda had said and really saw for the first time what I had sprouted from Andrada's back.

Black wings.

Black wings had sprouted from my mates back.

I had so many questions.

I had so many questions and only one person could answer them.

One person seemed to know what in the world was going on and I needed to know if my mates was going to be all right. I looked to see my daughters with tears in their eyes looking scared for their father.

Not wanting this to be a spectacle any longer, I maneuvered Andrada in such a way where her wings folded and I could carry her without inducing any more pain. All eyes were on me as I did this and I finally found my voice.

"T-This year's Yule B-Ball is canceled. My mate is going through something terrible and I need to tend to her. All of you are allowed to remain in the castle and do as you wish." I said aloud, all in attendance soaking in my words.

Then I turned to Mother Miranda who was still crying and looking only at Andrada.

The Prophet of the Black god was actually crying.

I had never in all my years seen Mother Miranda cry.

And she shed tears for my mate?

It only made me more suspicious that she knew why the events that just occurred happened.

"Mother Miranda." I said coldly.

Mother Miranda seemed to snap out of her haze and her tear-laden eyes met my own.

"Yes, Alcina?" Mother Miranda asked quietly.

"Come with me." I replied, stalking quickly out of the main hall.

Our daughters were hot on our tail while Mother Miranda was beside me as I maneuvered us to where my chambers were. All I could think about while we walked in silence was that what just happened would change everything.

Was it better?

Or was it for worse?

Whose to say, but it would change.

Eventually we all made it to my chambers and I practically broke my own doors down because I was so rattled by what happened. I needed for Andrada to be all right and doing that was my top priority.

I quickly dashed for our bed and laid down Andrada in such a way that her wings would not bend in abnormal ways. They were still out, and I did not know if they were permanent, but the last thing we needed was a broken wing this day.
