Chapter 39
Noras POV
It feels like I have been in this land for years at the end but I know in my head that I should have been here for just a few minutes, half an hour at most.
“Diane?” What will I do now?” I ask out loud and both Artemis and Aurelie stop with what they are doing and listen to me.
“Well, it’s your choice now, Nora. You can choose to stay here with us or go back to your body but without Artemis.” Diane
answer me
“I won’t be a lycan anymore?” I say confused.
“You never were, Artemis was the lycan, but yes you will be an ordinary human” Diane says and I feel down.
If I am an ordinary human I can’t have a bond to Helios and Ares, I won’t survive them. I sigh and start to cry.
“Wait, Nora’s parents are from the blaze kingdom and the knight kingdom, correct?” Aurelie asks and Artemis nods.
“Nora should have a lycan then, she has inherited the qualities of both of the kingdoms. So you can’t just send her back without a counterpart or she will just die again.”
“Hmm you are right as always Aurelie, I can’t send her back without a counterpart but then I need someone to volunteer” Diane says and starts to wander around.
I tilted my head and followed her with my eyes and then I noticed them, hundreds and hundreds of lycans and
werewolves. I stand up in awe and look around, all sizes and colors except black.
“Umm Diane, why is only Artemis and Aurelie black in their fur?” I ask and she stops and looks back at me.
“Isn’t it obvious? They are the firsts of their race so of course they are midnight black and the only ones as well” Diane smiles and continues walking around.
A perfectly white werewolf approached me and it took me a second to recognize it, I crouched down and hugged her hard while sobbing.
“I have missed you my friend” I say to Emily’s wolf.
“I have missed you as well, Nora.” she says and licks my cheek gently.
“Miss Diane, I volunteer to be Nora’s wolf, even if I am not strong enough”
“Oh my sweet wolf, you would be the perfect companion for Nora, but as I have said before, your counterpart is not yet dead and you are not released just yet” Diane answers and hugs her.
Emily’s wolf hangs her head down in sorrow but I hug her and whisper thanks to her as she was my friend even though Emily turned her back on me.
“Diane, I want to be Nora’s counterpart” Aurelie’s voice
sounds clear in the forest.
“Are you sure, Aurelie? You have not rested enough since the curse” Diane answers but Aurelie growls at her.
“I think Nora and my daughter will be a perfect match for one another, that way both my daughter in wolf form and my daughter in human form can be together” Artemis says and nods.
“Am I your daughter?” I ask Artemis confused.
“Not by blood but I have always thought of you as my daughter, you reminded me of Aurelie with your strength and kindness” Artemis explains and I blush a bit.
Aurelie walks over to me and looks me in the eyes. “Do you accept me, Nora?” She asks me and I take a deep breath “Yes, I accept you, Aurelie”
She holds her paw up and I put my hand on her paw and in that second the forest becomes lighter and lighter and everyone fades away. And once again I am in the darkness.
But come on!
*It’s okay Nora, I am here with you. You and I are in a coma right now, but we are alive. Since you were born with my mother who is a lycan, your body need to comply with a werewolf instead so you need to rest and we need to get to know one another* Aurelie explains and I get it. Not many will die and then come back with another wolf and just wake up and be fine, it’s not really magic. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
I wonder what is happening on the outside and I wonder when I will wake up.
Ares POV
I layed in the forest the whole night and the day after and so on. I was woken up by Helios and Uncle Dave when they lifted up my body from the ground, they told me that I had been laying there for the
past three days but I didn’t care.
I wished that they had left me there, my lycan refused to come forward and I can’t shift or heal properly either so right now I have a human sickness, a deadly one at that. My father is furious and Mia’s grandmother has been here two times already.
The first time to hit me and the second time to give me tea. I learned that Mia had played me and Nora. The mark would have gone away when she took back her rejection but instead Mia harmed Nora even further.
Artemis died of heartbreak and here I am now, my lycan has abandoned me and now I am feigning for myself. Helios had come over once a day and talked normally with me but I just wished for him to kill me and every time he punched me when I said my wish out loud.
I killed our mate and he isn’t even sad or angry over that. Today he comes in with our father and uncle Dave and a wheelchair. No way in hell will I be pushed around in that thing like I am sick or an old man.
But I don’t have much choice since I am weak right now and the fever is taking control over my body so I am seeing illusions right now. But they push me out of my room and down to Nora’s old room. Why would they torment me like this?
But as they open the door and push me inside I see that Nora is hooked up to hospital machines and that the heart monitor
is beeping, when it measures her heartbeats.
“Nora is alive, Ares, you didn’t kill her”
