My Mate's Betrayal

Chapter 29 Is This Real?

 Alkira's pov-

My eyes snapped open the moment I realized what I had done!

I bit him!

How could I do that?

'It is very easy. You only have to open your mouth. Your canines will elongate automatically and sink into the flesh of your destined one.

My mind cleared a bit when a sweet voice reached my ears.

The voice was indeed very sweet but it did not match the owner, especially in looks.

As the girl standing in front of me was wearing black ripped jeans with a shimmering red crop top. Her hair was dark brown that hung in loose waves. There were also purple-colored highlights that stood out in a good way. She was standing at a foot's distance wearing black boots, hands on her hips she looked like she came from a rock concert.

I also noticed that I was no longer in "Iceland" but instead the weather was pleasant.

I was in a meadow. The grass was green with white dandelions scattered here and there.

I looked at the girl and found that she was looking at me. I was feeling a bit conscious as she kept looking at me like she knew me already. I scanned my brain if I knew her from before but I got nothing.

'You don't know me, so please stop stressing yourself.' Her voice was soft completely opposite to what her dress was screaming.

She saw my facial expression and laughed a little before uttering her next words.

'Don't be fooled by my outfit I had to wear that to help someone and I came here directly. I am a little over a hundred years older than you.'

She brought her right above her head and slowly brought it down n a sweeping way. Her whole outfit changed in front of my eyes.

Now she stood wearing a light blue colored ankle length gown with her hair in a bun at the nape of her neck. The outfit did not change in her age as she still looked like my age but now her sweet voice was definitely matching her outfit.

I was getting more confused but stopped myself from fretting about it.

If she knows me then maybe I will get some answer from her.

I smiled and opened my mouth to ask for her name but she lifted her hand indicating me to be quiet.

I became quiet as I was occupied by the imprints on her hand.

How did I not notice them before?

They were breathtakingly beautiful.

I was in a trance.

Her hands were covered in tattoos of wolves.

Silver wolves.

A single silver wolf adorned each arm. From the second finger arose two to four green vines that intertwined and crisscrossed all the way to when they reached wolves they got mixed in the outline making it appear dazzled.

The wolves were facing each other and their head was drawn upward to the red moons located at the shoulder blade.

I didn't notice when she came near and sat in front of me.

It was only when she took my hands in her that I was able to steer my gaze away from her hands to her face.

Her face was beautiful like the rest of her body.

Her silver irises were outlined by a red hue, giving them a little dangerous and unearthly look.

'My name is Evaline. I am here to tell you about yourself and your heritage.'

'My heritage'.

'Yes, that you gained by marking your other half'.

'Other half... mark...'

I was not able to form complete sentences. My thoughts were all jumbled.

'How... when... how...?'

Still stuttering like an idiot I shut my mouth to stop myself from making a bigger fool of myself.

I was a mess.

'Don't worry. I am here to help. Let me start by telling you why your wolf is not responding. She will be back as soon as you wake up or sometime later. When she will be ready. You are in a deep slumber. But you will wake up soon and everything will be changed.'

I merely nodded for her to get started.

She smiled and began.

'You remember about your great great grandma, Jenelia. She was a healer and so are you.'

My eyebrows disappeared in my hairline at that. I was not a healer. I was about to deny it but she continued without a hitch.

'Your healing abilities were guarded because they were very unstable. When you were a kid your parents made them go recessive. I put a spell on you that would hold your powers till you found your mate and either of you marked each other. You have marked Keith so now know your full power will surface.'

'But Keith is not my mate. How can I mark him?'

'No sweetheart, Keith is actually your soul mate from the last seven births.'

I gasped at that.

It was unbelievable.

'Let me explain. You have a healer spirit. To protect yourself from enemies your mate shares some of your abilities after you mate. Your bond is very strong and it continues to strengthen till your fourth birth then it remains steady till your seventh birth and in eight births you both get a chance.

An opportunity to change your mates. If you are happy with your soul mate then you would be with them till the next seven births and the cycle continues. But if somehow your mate in eighth birth rejects you or dies then the moon goddess gives you an opportunity to meet your past mate and let you decide.'

'So you mean...' I asked hesitantly, daring to voice my inner conflict and a chance at happiness.

'Yes. You had the option to choose between Keith and Zen. And Keith has the option to choose you or someone else.'

'Had?'

'You already marked Keith, now it is his turn to choose.'

I am happy with my choice. I know that Keith will never betray me if he chooses me.

I have a chance... hope that I will be loved too.

I smiled and hugged her.

'Thank you'.

'As why your wolf is not talking to you is because she is resting. When your healer abilities will kick in then it will be very hard on your wolf so she needs preparation. When she sensed Keith's wolf both of them went to sleep. Depending on how he will react his wolf will come to surface accordingly.'

If he accepts me.

'Both of your wolves will be changed. You can think of it as transformation. They will be better in many ways.'

I broke our hug and saw that she too was smiling.

'This is it for now. I will talk to you later.'

Saying that she closed my eyes and kissed my forehead.

I was trying to comprehend what happened to me in the past few days.

My emotional state, Zen's unpredictable behavior, my wolf's disappearance, and the ever-empty space in my heart that constantly craves someone.

Now this... my healing abilities and my soul mate... my Keith!

Oh god!

Is this real?
