Realm of the forgotten

Chapter 8

Akara POV:

“WHAT!” Both me and Eric shout at them shocked.

I couldn’t believe it what I was hearing right now. Mates? Destine to be together, no way in hell was that going to happen. Like have you seen his behaviour? Not Prince Charming right there. This could not be true.

“Yes, darling. You and Akara are destine mates made to be together this is how I and your father came together. Usually with our kind it is rare to see destine mates come together so we arrange marriage.” His mother spoke to us with so much joy in voice. She was happy that Eric found his mate and you could see it on her face clear as day. His father was smiling also at us.

“Congratulations my son” he said to him smiling.

Both his parents were so happy and I was starting to get furious with all of them.

I saw that Eric was in shock just as I was but quickly changed his demeanour as though what he just heard did not phase his in the slightest. His looked at both his parents.

“Thank you mother and father.” He said to them smiling.

“Thank you mother and father?” I asked him with confusion written all over my face.

“What is there to thank when your life is not being ruined!” I screamed at him my anger now over flowing.

“I have been forced away from my family, taken to a different realm and then said to marry my kidnapper. Now I am hearing we are destine to be together that we are mates? What a load of crap that is!” I voiced my anger straight at him.

“Darling, calm down” he said to me while trying to take my hand.

I shoved his hand away and stood up from my chair.

“Calm down?!!!!. You want me to calm down when everything that has happened is because of you Eric! You took me away, you brought me here against my will and I will not sit here and hear how your mother tells me that we are destine to be together when we are NOT!” I said to him still voicing my anger. I could feel my anger boiling over and it’s as if there was something inside me that felt so much overwhelming rage.

He stood up and I could see he wanted try and calm me down. He held both his arms as to try and hug me.

“I SAID DON’T TOUCH ME!” I screamed at him and the next thing I knew Eric was blown across the room where he bounced off the wall and landed on the floor.

I was in shock what the hell just happened? Did I just do that? I looked at both his parents and both of them looked at me horrified at what just happened, I couldn’t stay there and see the fear and horror in their eyes. I ran to my room went inside and locked it from the inside. I was pacing now trying to figure out what happened. Replaying the event over and over in my mind. Was is really me that did that to Eric? How could I? What was that sensation that I felt? Could I do it again? Will I be seen as a freak as a monster now? I felt so overwhelmed and frustrated that I just started crying uncontrollably when I heard a knock on the door.

“Don’t come in!” I said to whoever was standing outside my door.

I heard a click sound and knew they have unlocked my door and in walked his mother.

I stood there with tears in my eyes and watched as she made her way over to me. She stood in front of me looked into my eyes and smiled.

I looked at her all confused like why is she smiling, I just threw her son against a wall and her she is smiling. Like what the hell?

“Are you alright dear?” She asked looking concerned.

“I don’t know what happened, is Eric alright? Is he still alive?” I asked her feeling dread creep inside me while more tears spilled over my face.

“Shhh, it’s alright dear. Eric will be fine. He’s stronger than he looks” she said as one corner of her lips pulled up as she gave me half a smile.

I was glad and relieved when she said that.

“Dear, I need to ask you a question is it okay if I asked you one?” She asked me with hopefulness in her eyes.

“Yeah sure, go ahead” I said waiting for a her question.

“This might seem as an odd question but do you know where your parents come from?” She asked concern evident in her face.

That is indeed a very odd question. Of course I know where my parents come from they are both from South Africa and both human that I am sure of.

“Yes, they are both human number 1 like me and both lived in South Africa in the human realm.” I said to her.

She stared at me for a few minutes while I waited for her response.

“Akara did you felt a strong sensation within you almost like a build up of energy when you threw Eric against the wall?” She asked nonchalantly as if what she was asking was normal.

I looked at her with wide eyes and my face clearly showing how shocked I am.

“Yes, how did you know?” I asked her surprised that she knew the feeling.

“Hmmm. Akara dear” she took my hand in with hers. “This might be difficult to hear but dear you are not human.” She said in a calm soft voice.

“What?” Is all I could manage to say while more tears stream down my face.

Then what am I?
