366-Give Up The Powers
She had tied me to a bed in one of the rooms. I could not tell what room it was, nor do I remember
which floor.
All I could think of was my body and how numb it was.
âI am preparing everything,â she whispered to herself. "It is the only way to make things right," she
hyped herself, placing the candles around the bed and then straightening her back.
âThe midnight will arrive in a few hours,â she finally spoke to me, âTry opening your mouth. I want to
hear your last thoughts,â she said, smiling through some sort of pain. Her eyes were watery the whole
time she was preparing for whatever sick game she had in her mind.
"âWhây are âyou doing this?" It was true; I was able to speak, but my tongue felt too heavy. It was
useless to speak to someone who I knew wouldn't tell me the exact truth. But I still tried.
"Well, for starters!" She stood in front of the bed and mumbled, "You don't deserve this life," she said.
âBy that, I don't mean the harshness these powers brought you. What I truly mean is that the blessings
you receive are not what you deserve. Your mother was an evil witch, Enya! she was a horrible
person," she sighed as she spoke about my mother.
"You k----now my mother?" I asked, blinking away the tears. Why is it that I cannot escape what she
has done in the past?
"I think it is time you learned about your mother." She dragged a chair and put it in front of the bed to sit
on it.
âYour mother was one of us. There were two students of Mother witch, one was your mother and one
Emelia. Mother Jolline was supposed to pick one of the witches to take over." She paused because she
noticed the frown on my forehead.
âTake over what?" I asked, feeling my tongue taking my side this time.
"To take over all the powers of the ancestors. She was supposed to inherit them and then keep them
safe for the next witches that were going to complete the coven. Your mother was supposed to transfer
the powers to them and keep a fair share for herself. The process needed virgin witches. Well, to be
honest, your mother was never the first choice. Everybody wanted
Emelia to be that witch, but she got kicked out for mating with a werewolf. Thanks to your mother, she
planned her fall perfectly, and Emelia fell for it. Then your mother was given the opportunity to inherit
the powers, which she did. Little did we know, she lied about being a virgin. The moment she took the
powers; she began to feel pain. She was supposed to give the powers back, but she denied it. The
ancestors were already angry, and then your mother fled with their powers. She caused turmoil in our
coven. We suffered the wrath of the ancestors while your mother built a life for herself in the werewolf
land. She then did what the ancestors feared the most. She used sacred magic to help the werewolves,
who were our biggest enemies. Your mother has ruined everybody's life, Enya." She explained the life
story of my mother to me ina few seconds, and in those few seconds, not even once did I hear her say
my mother was maybe not that bad. It confirmed that my mother was an awful person who ruined many
lives.
"Now! Tell me why is her daughter living her best life with the alphas, whom she ruined, taking care of
her? Oh! Not to mention, enjoying the powers too?â She got up from the chair and reached my side,
saying, "These powers belong to us. We should have gotten these powers," she yelled as she bent
down on my face.
"What did you say to Thiago?â I asked, looking her in the eye while being tied miserably. I still didn't
beg her to free me because there was no point in doing that.
"What he should have known from the beginning. I told him the truth about your mom." She rested her
hand on the wall behind the bed and smirked, keeping her face and feet away from mine.
âYouâ," I gasped, not able to respond to her.
"Yes! The day you were all busy running around taking care of Walsh, I took the opportunity to tell him
all about your mother. I am glad I did that. He deserved to leave your sorry ass.â She muttered, her
eyes spitting hate for my existence.
âThat's when he probably decided to leave, because he didn't want to stay close to you. And I can
already see your other mates walking away, abandoning you. They have all seen your true face." She
laughed when walking away from me and peeking outside the window, "Corbin was the only who
wanted to stick by your side but thenâ then I figured out why?" she turned to me with a proud look on
her face. It confused me to see her so happy and confident.
"He wanted a powerful mate beside him." She shrugged her shoulders, making me feel like I was going
to shatter inside. I didn't want him to love me sincerely, but it just proved that maybe all my mates were
only with me because of my powers.
âIsn't it a thing in werewolf packs that the alpha should marry a powerful mate so that their kids can be
even more powerful and can challenge an alpha king?" She stroked her chin, trying to think, and then
smirked at me.
âSo, now that nobody cares about you, why would you want to continue living?â She stared at me from
afar, "Just give up." She added.
âWhat do you want from me?" I asked, while struggling to free my wrists.
âYour powers. Just give me the powers that belong to us," she muttered, not smirking anymore.
âI know you must be thinking why you would do that. Why keep those powers that are upsetting your
mate?" she asked as she hunched over.
âGive me the powers, and I will contact Thiago and let him know you are ready to be a better person
than your mother,â she said with much confidence.
She knew where he was.
