The Twin Witches

Chapter 10

Memories

Anthony and Ariana stepped out from the portal and it disappeared the moment they were out. He felt slightly dizzy like he was going to vomit while on the other hand Ariana was beaming with joy of what she could do. He could feel it in their bond and it made him happy as well and forgot his dizziness. They froze when they saw that there were four wolves flanking them and ready to attack. The room was big but with four big wolves inside,it made the room small and there's no way for them to run. Anthony's eyes focused on the biggest and the most intimidating amongst them, he recognized him,he bowed his head to show his respect as the wolf shifted and in front of them stood a very naked King Maxwell. He felt Ariana’s sheepishness as she averted her gaze into the wall.

“Your majesties “, We are so sorry for this.” he begged

“The King growled at him as he and Dean cowardly winced but not Ariana. The two wolves he assumed to be the beta and his mate went out and came back into the room in their human form five minutes later. The King went into his closet to put some clothes. He must have it here for emergencies like this. The gray wolf followed the King behind, it must be the Queen’s wolf, he thought.

Freya was standing frozen in the spot as she stared at the male and female in front of her. Her parents were back in the room with new clothes on them. They lived at the palace but they have their office here at the packhouse and it has an emegergy closet if ever they need a change of clothes.

“You're really sisters?” Her mom spoke up.

“Twin sister to be exact, I'm Ariana”, she introduced. Freya couldn't believe herself she had a sister, a twin. She didn't know what to say, if only she could remember her past before she came to Crescent Moon pack. She could feel Ella’s excitement bubbled inside her. She could feel Anthony's gaze at her, she looked at him and met his green eyes with a confusing look all over it. Ella stirred in her mind, like she wanted to get out and jumped into Anthony’s arms. Freya knew that Alex is his mate but Ella did not act like this with Alex.

“I had a room prepared for the two of you to talk without someone interfering.” Freya heard the King say.

“Thank you, your majesty”, Ariana said

“After that, we will have a meeting and I will need you to explain everything. And I don't want you to make this a habit to just appear without informing me!”

“We're sorry King Maxwell, I just got a bit more excited and didn't think about the consequences it brings.”Ariana explained as she looked down.

They were ushered into the room which Freya recognized as one of the vakant offices they have. Ariana looked around admiring the paintings hanging on the wall.

“How many rooms does this packhouse have?” She heard Ariana mumbled.

“We are on the fifth floor and it mostly consists of offices and conference rooms. We had a little dining room but it's not often used.” she explained. Ariana looked at her. “Where do you stay?” She asked her.

“ The royals, elders and high ranking had their wings at the palace. It was protected by a barrier so enemies could not enter.

“Why not put a barrier in the whole kingdom then?” Ariana gazed at her and wondered.

“The witches who pledged their loyalty to the royals were not strong enough to make it happen.”

“Oh, I understand, so you live in the palace?”

“Ya” she answered Ariana as she smiled at her.

“Do you remember when we were little, you said that one day we will live in a palace? It was the day we came to the last cabin we had stayed in.” Ariana reminded her but she just hung her head down and hoped she could.

“What's wrong”, Ariana asked with worry in her voice.

“I don't have any memories of what happened before I came in the Crescent Moon pack.” she began.

“I don't even remember you”, she claimed frustratedly as she lowered herself into the chair, hands in her face as tears fell down into her cheeks.

Ariana sat beside her and took her hand as a white glow engulfed them. Freya was standing in the middle of a meadow. She was confused about where she was.”Hello”, "Ariana?" She called but it was silent. She tried to contact Ella but there's no sound from her. She tried to teleport but it didn't work either. “Did she lose her magic?” she thought. She felt worried and afraid when a melodisk voice called behind her. She turned around to look who it was as she met a beautiful woman, she had a white long hair and a white silky robes. Freya could sense that she had met her once but she couldn't make out when and where.

“Hello again child, I am Selene and we’ve met before.” the woman said to her

“Come and sit with me” Selene invited Freya as a bench made of vines appeared in front of them. Selene took Freya's hand and looked at her with full of love in her eyes.

“It is time to give you back your memories, dear child.”

“What?”

“I took it from you and now it is time for me to give it back to you”, Selene's soothing voice exclaimed.

“But why?” She asked. Selene touched Freya's hand gently.

“You will understand when all of your memories are coming back. Your destiny will depend on what choice you made. The visions I bestowed upon you will guide you to the right path, when you change the outcome of those visions it will lead you to a different path and it mostly brings you to the wrong one.” Selene advised as she touched Freya's head. She felt a warm sensation as a rush of memories flowed into her. It was overwhelming, it's like watching a movie and you push the fast forward button. Freya lost her focus as she was back in the room and darkness took over her.
