II THE SCENTS: Lycoris Mate

Chapter 24

As we entered the basement, there it goes the feeling I always felt each time I entered it. I ignored it and kept my composure as we both track where the office positioned in the basement.

"Jade, its dead end..." Leslie said since she was the one leading the way.

I went in front of her and she was right, there was only a huge cemented wall that made me think that it was the foundation of the house. I looked around and still nothing. I sighed but something caught my attention when I turned to look at Leslie.

"What's wrong Les?" I asked in my concern tone since she's pale.

"Nothing, I'm just not good in this part of the basement." Leslie replied with her quivering voice that I never heard from her.

I reached out my hand to her then pulled her into my arms. I began on soothing her as I looked around the place. It's full of cement but Leslie still felt uneasy about this place. She's even shaking.

"Let's get out of here. You're shaking too much." I told her but she just shook her head.

"No. let's get going and be done with this." Leslie said with a weak voice that broke my heart.

I sighed and pulled her even closer to my chest until I felt the relic - I mean, the ring began to heat up. It was brightly glowing in blood.

'I'm right here.'

I heard someone whispered through my ears that made Leslie's twitched. Her wolf ears were already visible and I was about to say something but I choose not too. She's relaxing herself into my arms. I smiled that she finally found comfort from my embrace.

"Leslie, look at me." I told her and she did.

Her eyes were watering like she was about to cry but it wasn't a tear but her wolf.

"What's the name of your wolf, Les?" I asked that made her smiled since I never tried to know about it.

"It's Sethaven. He's happy that you ask." Leslie proudly answered that made my heart melt on how innocent her smile could be.

"Can I talk to him?" I asked that made her grinned even more and nodded.

As if on cue, a triquet mark showed up to her right eye.

"So it was you." I whispered then let her go for a second but she held my hand tightly.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to find the other missing piece of you." I firmly told her and she nodded.

I looked more at her then I saw her wolf named Sethaven was a broken spirit wolf. I wondered why it was broken or how it happened.

I snapped from my ringing thoughts and went to look for a door behind the cemented wall. I touched the wall as I try to feel if there's any craving on it. As my hand touching the wall something flickering into me, it was like a mist of memories of the house itself.

'Aven! Don't you dare use that tone on me now that I'm pregnant!'

'W-what?! Since when? Let's go to the pack doctor!'

I was a bit surprised when I heard that and made me panted for a bit.

'Lielyn, he's beautiful. You're gorgeous.'

'See you can be soft you want to.'

'Well, if its my mate, my wife, and my Luna tamed me then I can.'

'Smooth talker.'

'I love you.'

'Oh Aven, I love you too.'
