Twisted Fate

Chapter 3 (Kym)

I look at Jace as he looks stuck in time. My heart breaks as I realize this man is his mate. As I realize that I could be the one person that can keep my twin from happiness, my heart breaks. I see as the alpha male looks confused not being able to identify who his mate is. So, I do the one thing I can think of. The one thing that can guarantee my brother's happiness. I hide my scent every aspect of it besides the fact of me being a witch.
I whisper a chant through my breath as I swipe my hand through my hair casting the spell over myself. After I do that, I proceed to back away a little and the male's eyes land on my brother. I look at them as I hear Crystal cry in pain in my head. Her howls are heartbroken.I zone out of the whole interaction for a while only hearing bits and pieces of it. I feel my brother pull me behind him but I do not do anything. as I am lost in my thoughts.What a sick joke is the moon goddess playing with us. We already share a soul because of being twins, much more being hybrid twins. We share each other's magic, power, and weakness, and we complete each other. That is what hybrid twins are like. But they are not known to have survived long enough to figure out if they have mates. We share the same mate. But we both can't have him. The moon goddess had designed it so that only one wolf can mate with one another.It was either being selfish and taking my brother's one chance of happiness or being selfless and heartbroken and feeling my mate slip away from my grasp. I look at Jace. My love for my brother is growing. I would do anything for him. Even gave up my chance of happiness to give it to him.As I finally make up my choice of keeping my scent hidden until they have fully mated I hear the commotion of what has to do with me. Of course, the Alpha would not want a witch on his pack ground unless passing tests. Tests that could clearly kill any normal witch. But I am not a normal witch. I am a hybrid and much more than that I am a hybrid twin. I know I can pass any tests. So before my brother opens his big mouth and gets into an argument with our mate, his mate, I stop him.I walk in front of him and speak to him through a mind link. When have I ever lost any test? I will pass Jace. Be with your mate. I'll be okay. And you know because of our strong bond you will be able to mind link me whenever no matter how far apart we are. I am your twin. I will always be here for you. And he is your mate, your other part. You are destined. I will be okay, My voice is controlled as I proceed to echo reassurances to him. Knowing that he needs them.I then look back at the Alpha and my head tilts to the side as I let my instincts kick in removing emotion from my body besides that of confidence. I walk right in front of him and I hear the echo of growls surrounding me from his pack. Of course, they wouldn't want a witch around their alpha. So much can go wrong with that, mostly one without a clan. Once I am at the distance I desire I feel my heart skip a beat, his scent driving my wolf crazy but I keep it hidden as I speak, "Bring it on big bad alpha." Confidence is being expressed in me as I hold back the feeling of hurt, the feeling of sadness that I know if I let even the slightest bit slip then I will be overwhelmed.I turn to Jace one last time before getting cuffed and walking out with the pack warriors. I feel Jace watching me leave and I hold my head up high not having anyone break my dignity. I feel my brother's heartbreaking and once I am a great distance away I whisper into his head one last time We will be together once again my dear brother.I continue walking through the market before we soon are out. Once we are out of the market I feel a witch's presence and I look up and my eyes meet with Faith. The witch at the market. I see her eye me with suspicion before she puts a spell over the cuffs to try and cut off my magic. Though what she doesn't know is even though she can cut off my magic she can't cut off my brother's magic. And I can very much use his magic. The benefits of being a hybrid witch I suppose. You can stop my magic but unless they stop my Jace's magic too then I can still use his magic. And I know they will not stop his magic because they first off don't know it exists and second off he is their Alpha's mate.As we walk we enter the forest but it seems like we are entering a very well known footpath. They are either leading me to a dungeon or to a magic locked environment. I feel the guards holding my arms back, their grip tight holding my cuffed hands. It slowly starts to annoy me and finally I snap, "Let go of my bloody hands. I'm already in magic locked cuffs and I do not plan to escape you morons. I am going to do your Alpha's stupid tests and be back with my twin. Now back the hell off before you lose your hands." I have to hold back the growl that wants to escape my lips. It would be weird if a witch were to growl.The guards don't let go at first, instead they grip onto me tighter anger filling them. But, before I can do anything about their grip I hear the voice of the witch, Faith. "Those cuffs will keep her from using her magic. She will be useless even if she is not held down. She has no chance against 4 werewolf guards without her magic." The guards look at Faith for a moment before letting go and just walking around me making sure I do not escape. I look over at Faith for a brief moment. She is young, yet her word holds so much power. I wonder why. I will soon figure it out though at least that is what I believe.After walking for about an hour we reached a field. The trees stand tall surrounding the field. It seems more like a meadow though. But something seems off. The grass is greener and brighter, the flowers tall and vibrant. A mixture of wildflowers and my favorite flower of buttercups scattered across the meadow. I look at the trees surrounding the meadow we are entering and I notice carvings in the tree. This is a witch trap. A witch trap holds a witch's power useless and actually attempts to drain her of her energy. It is a much stronger spell then the one cast upon these handcuffs but one that nonetheless will not affect me from using magic thanks to Jace.The guards walk me into the field but Faith stays right outside of it. If she were in here she would be defenseless. If I can correct once they enter a witch in here she will not be able to leave without the company of someone from this pack. Though this spell by the seams of it is just a trap for witches so if a nonwitch or warlock at that point where to enter they could interact with me but not take me out. Though they themselves would be able to leave because they are not a witch or warlock. Quite a throughout spell but the feeling of it is quite powerful and ancient. This must have been made in the times of the war between the witches and the other supernatural beings. Some witches were traders and sides with the other supernaturals and made spells like this for them to save their own asses. But what can you expect from a clanless witch. This is what they expect of me. To be a trader.The guards uncuff me and leave the meadow. All I do is sit in the middle of the meadow with a smile on my face as I watch them walk out and I then look at Faith as I see she is about to commence speaking, " You will remain here as the trails get prepared and the pack gets united so that you can be judged. The Alpha will meet with you before the trails and you will either live and be established in some sort of way with the pack or you will die. You have made your choice to participate. And now I can not go back. You will be fed only once a day to keep you alive and that is all you must know now. This is goodbye for not till we meet again." She goes with the guards, but does not head back north to the direction of the market, instead she heads east with the guards on her tail, then having a conversation. If I am correct they are probably on their way to the packhouse. Good to know.I look up at the sky and whisper, "I will be with you again my dear brother." I then let my eyes close as my mind drifts off and the pressure of the magic barrier flows through my body but does not harm me. Though on the other side it is quite soothing.
