Bound: Toxic Love (Book 2)

Chapter XV

Not edited.

Christian's POV

There were a lot of things that I kept to myself. A little from everyone.. But I told Lana almost everything, and I was at the edge of to start guilt crawling through me.. I almost slipped about Adam, and one mention of his name could make her completely involved in that same chaos that was hunting all of us for years. Yes, she was partly involved because of her father, but that didn't promise her death like the simple mention of Adam did..

Now, Amelia came and after trying to keep her out of it as well, she knew what was going on.. I was thankful to Lana that was honest with me and that she didn't call Amelia, but at the same time, Amelia was the one that took down Adam and she deserved to know every detail of my plan, no matter how dangerous. Besides, maybe with her help it would be easier to find him.

"And now," I finished, "the last track of the necklace we have is at Morpher's house." I heard footsteps as Lana walked in, still holding her phone and sat down on one of the armchairs.

"No, it's definitely not at there. If my father really had it, he was smart enough to keep it away.." She said, leaning backwards and releasing a sharp breath. Amelia sat across from me and listened.

She kept quiet for a while till she heard the full story then leaned forward on her knees and looked at me. "That necklace was made for me. Which means that it's connected with my blood only. It's what will help us find it." Her voice was clear and confident, but blood spells required a lot of energy and Calliope could possess that much.

"Calliope doesn't have that kind of power." I told her, still having no hope that it could actually work, but Amelia was determined to do it.

She sat up. "I do." I glanced at Lana the same second Amelia said it, and she looked back at me. I knew Lana was new to this, but she had good ideas before, and perhaps I was looking for an answer, but she didn't have it either.

"Uh, don't you need to like, get power from someone.." I heard Lana's voice as she sat up as well, before Calliope corrected her.

"Channel someone,"

"Right. Don't you need to channel someone?" Amelia glanced at her, and nodding her head just continued rounding the table.

She cleared her throat slightly. "Yes. I can't do this with Calliope, she doesn't do the same kind of magic." I was about to offer myself, but Lana was faster than me..

"Then channel me. If this has anything to do with my family, there are good chances that it's connected to the Vesnetsovs as well." I was about to interrupt her, because she was starting to connect everything with the answers she needed about the Vesnetsovs,

"Lana, no,-"

"No, I'm doing it." Amelia glanced at me for a second, but before I could shake my head no, Lana continued. "I'm a werewolf, there's no one more connected to the moon than me. You'll have the power." She told Amelia, and I don't think there was anyone that could change her mind at that point. But Amelia did powerful magic. It couldn't kill her, but it could exhaust her to the core, and I don't think she could take giving up that much energy in minutes. It was supernatural force and she didn't even understand it, yet she volunteered.

Calliope went to get some more candles, and I on the other hand was left to handle both Amelia and Lana. It was never an option, even though Lana refused to listen to me. I was not letting her do it. I mean, I did need her, and I couldn't let her die.. Yes, it was possible. Amelia was going through the spell book as I walked towards Lana, and took her by the elbow. She was surprised, but quick to join me a few steps outside the room.
