II THE SCENTS: Lycoris Mate

Chapter 22

[Back again finally... Something came up to our connection... So here it goes early update for u guys]

They were a bit shocked to what I just did but as Leslie returned my hug but she was a bit puzzled when I mentioned or called her King. She gently pushed me away before staring directly into my eyes as if she wanted to be sure whether she heard me right or not.

“You might not understand but maybe sooner or later you will.” I told her and kissed her cheeks before leaving the cell.
‘What do you mean by that?’

I didn’t respond to her I just smiled on my own before heading back to the living room since there was something I need to make a phone call.

“Alpha Alicia, the Crow is awakened.” I immediately said as my alpha answered my call.
‘I see. Hm, that’s why Eunice aura shifted.’
“You knew it was here that’s why you sent her?” I asked her directly yet with a respectful tone.
‘Yes and no. I sent her there because I sensed you’ll need help and her presence will help you get by from your Fallen state. I didn’t realize her other half will be there but something in my guts saying something good will happen to her.’
“So, is she there with her mate?” I asked as I wondered if I’m gonna ask some bothersome stuff in my guts.
‘Yes, they’ve been talking a lot and when I said talking, they’re teaching each other about some nature stuff.’
“Nature lovers; that’s good then.” I sighed as I walked to the garden porch.
‘You won’t call me if there’s nothing bothering you about my Mom’s quest. So, tell me what happen this time to her ‘out of nowhere’ tasks?’
“You got me. Anyway, I went to the basement where Crow’s being kept and there’s something else there waiting to be woken up by me this time.” I honestly told her what I really felt down there.
“It was like its calling me but when I reached the place, it was just there but not moving or awake till Leslie came.” I continued that made her sighed heavily, like she knew something.
‘Okay, tell me the details of what exactly you felt when you were passing through and being inside there.’
“Okay, first there’s heaviness around and the scent of blood everywhere like there were a lot of deaths happens there. Not just in the present but way back then. Then, along the way I immediately felt the cold breeze even if there's no room for windows only fluorescent light hanging on the wall. Then the atmosphere became heavier as I reached the isolated cell but it suddenly vanished when I entered the cell. It wasn’t cold nor hot, it’s more like warm and cozy then I felt a very careful eyes like I’m a porcelain doll that need to be taken care of then I sneeze because Leslie came by the door of the cell. Out of the blue, Alicia, I run to her and hugged her tightly as I said ‘My lovely King’. I get that I do start falling for her but calling her king was a bit odd, don’t you think?” I stated all the details about what I felt back then ask her.
‘Did Mom say anything as you guys got there?’
“No, I didn’t ask her either.” I said in such defeat.
‘I think Mom felt it something was there. Plus, do you know about the spirit wolf?’
“I think I’ve heard it before when Ceres and you talk about wolf thing, I guess.” I answered as I tried to recall about it but it still doesn’t ring a bell to me.
‘I don’t know the exact details but Spirit Wolves were the previews Kings of each pack. These spirit wolves only be awaken to a certain or a chosen one for the greater-good of packs. Their awakening can only be triggered by a crow, or a mate but the key was the lycoris blood. I still don’t understand it yet since I’ve been just awaken after I’ve been appointed as the Alpha of Moonlight Blood pack.’
“I see, I think I better research for it and ask Ceres about it as well.” I sighed since I have to learn something that has nothing to do with me being a vampire fallen but at the same time it does.
‘Good luck from talking to Mom.’
“Yeah, thanks for reminding me how twisted she could explain things.” I groaned when I recalled that Ceres was a bit - I mean much alike with the Goddess when they explain things. Twisted. Riddle.
