Sweet Affection [Affection Series 4] {Completed}

Chapter 38

Dante taps his fingers on the table as he listens to what Enzo had to say, he silently stays in his seat without a word.

When Enzo finishes explaining everything to the men in the room, everyone stares back at him but he just keeps quiet silently tapping on the table.

"Dante, what do you think..."

"It's not Ariel" he speaks which brings a frown on men around the table.

"What?" Ethan asks so Dante can speak more clearly.

"The marks disappeared from Scar's body the moment the mandrakes found their new master...

Ariel somehow was able to open the door of that part of portal even I do not have access to still there is no sign of any marks on her body...

So...who else?" Dante states clearly for them to hear it out.

"What about Adrian, does he still have his marks?" Enzo asks as this is the first time he was hearing about it.

"Adrian has his intact, not even an inch of those marks moved but it is completely whipped off Scar's body" Dante replies still deep in his thoughts to solve the mystery of it all.

"Just because the marks has gone from Scar's does not mean it has to appear on Ariel's body may be..."

"No, she had carried those marks from the moment Oliver made her and Adrian the guardian as well the protector to the new master, we all knew that one day someone will come to claim those mandrakes" Dante speaks interrupting Ryan.

"Yes, but we also know that Scar is the only link or shall we say the bloodline of Oliver, so whoever this new master is will definitely be Scar's and Adrian's child...

Ariel, did open the portal, she did hold the power and even Thomas said her blood can heal Engel so, there are still possibilities" Ryan argues trying to make him see the point but even before he finishes Dante starts to shake his head in denial.

"It's not that simple, Thomas, why would he give such vital information to us so easily, after wanting to get hold of the original mandrakes...

Pretending to be Eric for such a long time why would he leave Ariel just like that without a fight, why not take her away with him, there is still so much that we are missing" he speaks getting up from his seat and now pacing in frustration.

"You are reading too much into it, Dante" Ethan voices but stops as Dante starts to curse.

"Fuck if I am that bastard was right under our nose; he made a fool of everyone of us" he shouts before coming to a halt as Enzo speaks.

"From now on...everything I owe belongs to you, along with my heritage and powers...you will be the protector of my linkage and only the one with pure heart and soul will have the key to unlock it...

Take a good care of the child who will hold the key to this Scar, I leave it in your hands along with your mate, always be happy my child...

That was the very last words of Oliver, you remember right?" Enzo asks and all three of them nod, as they were there that day.

"What's the point of it?" Ethan asks not knowing what Enzo was speaking about.

"Whoever will have the power will have to be just like Scar, then and then only will the true power will awaken" he smiles as he looks around the room.

"The pure heart and soul...just like Scar?" Ryan asks with a smile as well.

"Ariel is her daughter, um...even if I don't want to say this but Ariel is not pure I mean not after"
