Heart of Glass

The Vision

Uncle Henry, was stunned and was unable to speak for a few moments. Even I was. He quickly composed himself and spoke up before me, “Nicola, what’s the meaning of this.”

“Alpha, before I joined Royal Luna pack, you know I was a rogue, but it was not all that. Before my pack was destroyed high up in mountains, I saw a seer, who told me that my pack would one day be destroyed and I would be joining yours soon after. When one day I would meet the actual heir to the throne, I would quickly know when it happens, and after that I’m bound to the heir’s life as a bodyguard. He also told me that when the heir appears, they would help my wolf in ascending to the next level. Along with me, the seer also foresaw that there will be two more people important in the heir’s life, whom she will meet soon. But meeting me will be a crucial step.”

“Wait a minute. Bound to my life? What does that mean?” I asked her.

“My Queen, this tattoo on my arm here, shows that I’m your royal guard. We’re emotionally connected. Though you may not feel my emotions or thoughts, I, on the other hand, can sense every move you make or feel. In this way, I can make sure that you are safe at all times.”

“Now this, is embarrassing.” I said blushing. Uncle Henry quickly spoke up.

“What else Nicola?”

“Alpha, once my lady meets her mate, our bond will be in a state, where I can only sense danger, because she’s with her mate. Otherwise, I’ll be connected to her all time. It’s like even before anything happens, I can sense it. I’ll be the one taking the bullet, you can say.”

“Well then, El, I’ve no problem now. I was wondering how I would actually trust people, before placing them around you. All I’ve to do now is test others. Nicola, you know the rules. We test everyone with the truth potion. Prepare the tea.”

“Truth Potion?” I asked.

“It’s like one of our grandfather’s lover was a witch. Before he met his true mate, the witch and him were in love. When grandfather announced it to the witch that he found his mate and would be leaving her, she gave him a tea mixed with the potion. Soon after, grandfather started spilling everything, every dark thought, secrets, whatever it is. She saw the truth in his words and quickly forgave him for leaving her. Before she left for the mountains, she gave a recipe to the head warrior of our grandfather along with some herbs. She also quickly explained what and how and where to collect the herbs, if they ever were out of stock. But this was only explained to the head of the warriors and only of female warrior clan.”

“I don’t know why she was specific about  the female head warrior but she said that there will be a time, when one of the female of our family will be of very high status and of very great importance. She also said that when the female’s wolf comes out for the first time, she will herself come down from the mountains.”

Weird. Though I had a nagging feeling in my mind that I somehow was connected to all these things. Anyways, while me and uncle Henry were discussing some trivial things, Nicola came in. She said that the table was set and breakfast was ready for everyone. I quickly looked at the time and noticed it was only 8 in the morning, but I felt like ages in there. We were  wrapping up our discussion and then, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in”, uncle said and soon Megan, Sylvia and Cole came in.

“Come and join us, please” uncle said and quickly, we were all served breakfast at the table in the adjoining room of uncle Henry’s office. There was bacon, some sausages, toast, sphagetti and eggs and soon we were served coffee and Cole, Meg and Sylvia were served the tea with the potion.

We waited and soon they all started speaking up one by one. I then came to know that Cole, Meg and Sylvia were all related. Actually, Cole was their elder brother by 5 years and when their parents died in the rogue attack, the twins had been sent to the Royal Blue Moon Pack to learn etiquette under the supervision of their maternal grandmother, since they were all of noble blood. It was very surprising and yet I found it quite amusing at the same time, since the twins won’t stop talking and definitely not behaving like a noble ladies, but like kids on high sugar. I chuckled out loud.
