Hidden Children (AL Series)

Chapter 5

Inara

  After hours of amazing s*x, my witch lets me have full control for a few more rounds of mind-blowing s*x and I thanked her for that. I’m awake right now laying in Trent’s arms, I couldn’t bring myself to leave when I woke up so I just stayed there looking at him and making sure I knew his face by heart. Something in me said I might not see it again and I never wanted to forget it.

    As my eyes run down his neck I notice a burn mark in the shape of a hand on the side of it. How did that happen? I go to touch it and images flash before my eyes of Trent thrusting into me like a crazy man before he leans over and bites me, marking me as his again as my hand start to get crazy warm and lights up before I place it on his neck causing him to release my shoulder and roar in pain and pleasure before our release. Is this my witch’s mating mark? Why don’t I remember it?

‘Because I wanted it to be between us.’ 

‘But why? Shouldn’t we be one?’ It kind of hurt me that she didn’t want to share that part with me. It seems like something that should be shared as it is my body, I am the one in control of it most of the time.

‘Yes we should but not for this. I’m sorry but it has to be this way.’ She does sound a little sad but there was something else in her voice that I wasn’t so sure what to truly think.

‘Why?’ Let’s try this again. She is hiding something from me why else would she not want me to see her mark our darn mate.

‘I can’t say right now but let’s talk about what you wanted to.’ Ugh, she is hiding something from me, that witch! Fine if she does not want to tell me I will let it slide but sooner or later she will have to tell me.

‘Yes let’s. Do you know what happened when you pushed me to the back of my mind?’ I asked. It felt like she knew and I needed to figure it all out.

‘Yes.’ Well that was straight forward. There wasn’t even a pause.

‘Is there a reason you did that?’ I’m not sure why I’m starting to get the feeling that this is not going anywhere too.

‘Yes, and it was something that you needed to see. You were meant to see that at that moment and you were meant to be there when you were.’ Yeah okay, that did not answer anything. Why is this witch part of me so elusive with her answers. I have a wolf who doesn’t really talk to me and a b***h witch, just great.

‘What does it all mean?’ If I keep asking but in different ways each time, normal people would answer the question. Then again this witch does not seem normal, she seems very smart.

‘What do you think it means? You can’t be that stupid can you?’ Okay, rude much. Like what did I do to her?

‘Damn you’re rude.’ 

‘Ha, just wait till we all meet and talk to you, you’re going to go insane.’ She says what now? Will all of them be able to talk to me? Cool, that might help me later on. No, it will help me but that’s going to be one f*****g headache, I just know it.

‘Great, just great. But really can you help me figure out everything I saw or not?’ I’m just getting tired of these games she seems to be playing.

‘I wish I could but unfortunately, I can’t.’ Ugh!

‘Well, you are no f*****g help. Why the hell send me there if you can’t help me understand it all?’ I said. Now I’m getting pissed at her.

‘I don’t even know what you saw honestly. I just knew you needed to be there at that time. I saw myself sending you into the back of our minds but I didn’t know what was going to end up happening. If I could help you I would, I really would. I am sorry that I can’t but maybe our brother can.’ Maybe he can help to figure this all out, I forgot about him. I’ll go and find him after Trent wakes up.

‘But you sent me there. How can you not know? You are a part of me can’t you hear, see, and feel everything I do?’ I may be starting to whine now but if she can help me then I want to know.

‘Yes and no. There are things that you can keep from all of us and it seems there are things that we are just not meant to see. I’m sorry that’s all I know.’ And with that, she leaves me to my own thoughts.

  I look up to Trent’s face again to see his eyes are open and that he is looking at me with a small smile but his eyes hold concern.

“You okay?” He asks in a sleepy voice.

“Yea but I have a lot on my mind. Do you think we can go find my brother later? I need to ask him about something with our family.”

“Anything you want my queen. I will ask everyone in the pack where he is and see if he wants to eat with us. Is that okay?” I don’t really want him there.

  I love him and all but I want to just have a moment with my brother. I just found him and we haven’t even really talked at all. Hell, we haven’t even talked about what the hell we saw and went through and now I have to add what I saw to the mix. This should be a fun conversation but will me saying I don’t want him there make him mad? I bite my lower lip and look down.

“As much as I don’t want to leave your side I was hoping to talk to just him. Would that be okay?” I ask nervously. I just hope he won’t get mad at me for asking. I felt him kiss the top of my head before I felt his fingers go under my chin making me look him in the eyes.

“Of course that’s okay my love. You just found him, I’m sure there are many brother and sister time that is needed. Now, why don’t we go and get some food in us then we will go and find your brother.” He smiles at me and this time I can tell he is happy. There is still worry in his eyes but not as bad as before. I nod my head yes, I’m f*****g starving, no way I would pass down food at this point.
