Chapter 198: The Story Of Fire And Ice {19}

"I will not marry you", at my confession the clamorous thunder stroke.

Everyone gasped, and I moved away from Lawrence’s hold.

"I refuse to put duties over my own feelings"

It was like a weight was lifted off my chest like a chain was broken, and like my eyes were open to possibilities. And then Instantly time stopped around me, a pause I never thought could happen.

"Mother?" I said she was frozen like a statue, I whirled around, every single thing was in pause, every detail, they all looked like sculptures before me.

"How is this possible?" I murmured in total confusion, was I losing my mind right now?

"What happened?"

☆☆☆

"That was the very moment you broke your trial, and then everything fell into place, you became a piece to the mortal Realm that didn’t fit, which is why everything reversed to the way it was meant to be after you left"

"I don’t understand," I began shaking my head. "You intended for this to happen?"

"Yes my child... everything, just like I said I installed some of Magnus’ memories within him at his final rebirth so that he may be self-aware and I knew for certain both of you would meet and thus breaking the torment I put both of you in"

I sobbed, wiping my tears.

"It all began with your death Yelena I was eager to find the truth... I knew you remembering was the only way, so I played the villain once again" she said as with a wave of her hand the scene changed.

☆☆☆

"Hello child"

My body stilled instantly, this feeling, this power, and more this rush of familiarity from this voice I heard, could it be? I gulped not daring to turn because I didn’t want to think about it. This feeling was so intense that I couldn’t contain it. My chest rose and fell, I tried to steady myself, I tried to ignore, I tried to not turn my back and look at what was behind me.

But I couldn’t help it, I leisurely turn, very slowly and the white background cleared to a new view which was the forest I have always dreamed about, the same forest that houses my hidden memories and the same forest that kept calling me, it wasn’t until now that I realize it... my Realm, the Spirit Forest.

My golden gaze on the very person I never thought I would have the chance to see, my eyes shocking, my lips quivered, and then I knew exactly what she was and who she was to me.

"M-Mother" I stammered. My shaky eyes on the heavenly beauty before me, her silver hair was short on her shoulders, her eyes gold but a mix of blue in them like the skies, her face angelic although she looked like any mother would, her clothes golden, a linen material that hung her body perfectly, she had the curves and the style, her arms graced with golden bracelet shaped in that of a peacock.

A smile graced her lips. "How long has it been, millenniums isn’t it?"

I gulped.

"I can’t express how happy I am to finally see you after all this time, I was merely stunned when I found out you were no longer in the Mortal Realm"

I backed away slowly, my grip tightened on my gown.

"Are you scared of me child?" she asked, puzzled, noticing my actions.

As the wind whistled around us, there was a prolonged silence.

"You cursed me and my lover," I said faintly, my firm eyes on her, the angry building within me like a storm ready to blow.

"Oh my child, are we still going to do this?" she sighed. "I only did what I could for you, I love you," she said with so much sincerity that I almost believed her but I knew better.

"YOU CURSED ME!" I shouted, my breath raspy, the pain in my voice and the gravity it weighed like a ton. "You cursed your own daughter just so you could prove that duties come before love", I remembered the Mortal Realm, when I ended my curse.

☆☆☆

The scene played before us and then it followed when she tried to break into my head by false.

"I knew as strong as you are you would suppress me and awaken your Fox power. That was the plan because I knew only with your true nature can the Waterfall of truth accept you. But only half of your powers awakened but still enough"

"You cursed me!" I began.

"I had no choice, my child, Nicklaus being beside you wasn’t helping and I knew out of love he would try to keep you from remembering your own death, which is why I marked you with the curse of Mismatch with his brother. Only when your affections are removed do you see reason" she flicked her hand and an image showed.

☆☆☆

Mate!

My inner beast roared and then I paled, because my eyes were on Alaric right now! No... no no... no.

MATE!

My body jumped as I was drawn to him but stopped myself from doing so. This can’t be happening, this cannot be, why was my body reacting to Alaric?

MATE

No!

"Quick call the Emperor... the Empress is back!" Celeste barked to guard, even at the mention of Nicklaus I didn’t react I was still overly drawn to Alaric.

"Lena," He said, worried as he came to me.

I shook my head, my body was screaming at me to go to him but I couldn’t. I do not want him then WHY?

MATE

STOP!

"LENA!"

I was already running away before I knew it, in speed as I zapped out of the palace, tears gushing from my eyes.

"YELENA!!!"

☆☆☆

"Oh it’s about reason again..." I pointed.

"Yelena!"

"You took me away from him! Over and over again and you expect me to believe you accept us now huh?" I was angry and both stunned by her action, everything was her plan to get me to remember, funny isn’t it and it hurt! "I had to stay away from the man I love because I can’t so much as be near him because of a fake affection I feel for another" I pointed to the changed image and she followed.
