Chapter thirty eight - Ready to face my destiny

It's been so many days since I woke up and found myself in this beautiful castle again.
"You have to go back eventually" she says again.
We have been arguing about this non stop everyday since when I woke up and find myself here.
It was the same place I went when I had that accident.
"No, I want to stay here forever, you said I can, didn't you?" I ask.
"Yes, but they need you there and as it is, it's only your soul that is here, your body is far away" she says again, just like she says every time we're arguing about this.
"And the more you stay here, the Kore you get drifted from your physical form" she adds.
"Let them have it, I don't care, as long as I'm happy over here, that all that matters" I argue.
"OK have it your way, but you'll eventually have to go back there one day" she says as she descends her throne.
"So are you trying to drive me away from here then?" I ask as I get up from my seat, which is right next to hers.
She stops walking but didn't turn.
I walk over and face her.
"Ah...".
"Just tell me, if you're tired of having me here, then I'll gladly go back and have them kill me, if that's what you want" I say, broken hearted.
I have always been treated like a royal over here.
Even though we are the only ones around, I mean only I and her, but it is the most amazing days I've had since I left home.
The only problem I have with her is she always tries to persuade me to go back there, where I'm wanted to be gone forever and ever.
So I just came up with the conclusion that she's tired of me living with her.
"I'd never want you dead my dear, I mean what mother..." she stops and walk past me.
Sometimes I don't actually understand this woman, she'll start talking but only stops halfway, making me wonder what she really meant.
I follow her to her room.
I knock but she didn't answer.
Did I really upset her by saying if she wants me to leave.
Gosh! Why did I say that in the first place.
She has been kind enough to let me stay with her for the past six days and I said that to her.
I'm such a bad person sometimes.
Now I've hurt this kind woman's feelings.
I knock once again, hoping that she will answer this time and lucky for me, she finally speaks.
"Come in" she says from inside the room.
I push the huge glass door and enter.
This is the first time I've actually entered her room since when I found myself over here.
I walk into the huge room.
It's actually more bigger than mine. I mean the room where I'm staying now.
She quickly turns around when I walk in, as if she's trying to hide something from me.
Wait a minute! Did I see her hair colour is actually the same as mine. She has red hair too.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
She wears her cape on all the time, so I've never seen her without it.
"Come on, have a seat" she gestures for me to sit in one of the couches in the room.
I walk over and sit on the couch close to hers.
"So, what brings you here?" she asks.
Her voice seems so dull and cracked.
Has she cried because of what I said to her.
I'm such a bad person. I made this nice woman cry for no reason.
"I'm really sorry about what I said earlier, I really didn't mean it" I apologize.
She stays quite without saying anything for a while.
I hope I haven't not made her angry.
She finally looks at me and smiles.
Phew! I feel so relieved to see her smile again.
"It's OK, I really didn't take what you said to heart" she says.
"Thank you so much, I'm glad you're not angry at me" I say happily.
"No dear, I'll never be able to be angry at you even if I want to" she says and cups my chin in her hands.
Her touch always warms my heart and I don't know why.
"But I need you to understand that it is important for you to go back too" she says.
"It's not that I'm tired of you staying here with me, no, if it were up to me, I'd have you here with me all the time but you have to go back and embrace your destiny, many lives will be saved if you are there, not here" she says.
I don't understand what she's implying but I still nod my head in agreement.
"And besides, you can always visit if you feel like it" she says.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes, of course" she assure me.
"And if you're scared of being killed, I can assure that you'd never die until you fulfill your own destiny" she says.
"Then what's my destiny?" I ask.
"That I can't actually tell, but I'm sure you are born to fulfill a great deal" she says and that makes me a little relieved.
"Then can I leave by tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure" she nods and draws me into a hug.
I feel like I don't want to even let go of her, ever.
She makes me feel warm and comfortable with even a slight touch of hers. It's pretty much indescribable. I get up from the couch after she releases me.
"Good night" I wish her.
"Good night, love" she wishes me and smiles again.
This lady really knows how to smile.
I walk out of the room and head to mine.
I sit down on the bed.
I'm gonna miss this room too. It has everything that a princess needs.
I know I'm not one but whenever I'm here, I feel like I'm one.
I walk inside the bathroom to have a quick shower.
After I have showered, I walk out of the bathroom.
I change into my night gown and finally lie down on bed.
I fall asleep immediately even though I'm not that tired. I don't do much work around here anyways.
I'm glad I fell asleep immediately too because I wouldn't have to think about what it so happen tomorrow if I go back to that horrible place.
**********
The next morning
I woke up early today and I don't know why, but I'm so excited to go back there now.
Even though it's horrible and all the people there trying to kill me but it's true that my destiny is waiting for me and I'm the one responsible for it.
I can decide if it will be good or bad, that's only up to me.
I quickly get up from my bed and run out of the room like a teenager who's waiting for Christmas to finally come and it's here.
She's waiting for me in the garden when I walk out of the castle.
"Morning dear" she says and draws me into a hug.
"Morning" I greet her too.
"I think I'm ready to leave, I've thought about what you said yesterday and I'm ready to face my destiny" I say, with so much confidence.
"OK, but you haven't even changed and you haven't taken your breakfast" she says.
"Yeah, I know but for some strange reason, I feel like something is calling out for me to go back" I say.
I hope she will not think of it in a bad way, that I just want to leave already.
"OK then, I guess your destiny is calling out for you" she says and smiles.
I'm glad she didn't think bad of it.
We walk over to the portal that will send me back to the land of the living.
I walk in but then I stopped and run back to her and hug her.
It's like I'm never seeing her again.
"I'll miss you" I say.
"Me too, but always know that I'm always here for you" she says and pats my head.
"It's time to go" she says as she releases me.
I walk inside the glowing light once again and this time I didn't look back. If I did, I might decide not to go back again.
I sit up immediately. I just feel as if I'm drowning or something. I look around me and see that I'm no longer in the castle but in a hospital bed. Wait a minute! What happened to me.

It's been seven days since she went into that coma, seven f*****g days.
A week for heavens sake.
I've tried all that is possible as a doctor to revive her but none seem to work.
The house is quite and empty now.
After the festival, everybody went back to where they belong.
I even forced my sister to go back to the main pack house. I don't want her to see me in any bad condition as of now. It would only make her more suspicious of my behaviour.
I know I have changed so much since the arrival of that girl.
Things have not been the same since the time she decided to pass out.
Why did she even decided to do that.
That's a pretty much good welcome gift she gave to me there.
Thinking about the fact that I wanted her dead, well, that's a pretty small thing she did there.
I'm laying on my bed doing nothing but thinking about how and what I'm I gonna do to make her come back to normal.
I smell like alcohol all over and it's preventing me from thinking properly.
Yes, I subjected myself to drinking again.
The pain is eating the life out of me.
On the other hand is my sister whom I promised to avenge her mate's and my pack's death and on the other is my mate, whom I want to be with and is currently in a detrimental condition.
Why on earth does the moon goddess gives someone a test he can't possibly pass?.
At first, I thought that I can hand my mate over since I didn't really know who she is to begin with but the past seven days that I've spent with her, even though she's unconscious, has made me realize that I can't let her go just like that, never.
"What on earth am I gonna do now?" I shout.
I'm an Alpha so I gotta act like one.
I get to from my bed to have some bath and regain my decency. I walk over to the door but I was stopped by Emily, Harry's mate.
"Sir, you have to come immediately" she says in between heavy breaths.
It's like she has run all the way here.
She's in charge of my patient, I mean my mate, now.
She's a nurse and I trust her, even though she doesn't know that she's taking care of my mate too.
"What?" I ask, annoyed.
I don't even care how horrible I look now.
"Sir, she's finally awake and she's making a mess all over" she says, worried.
"Who?" I ask.
I'm confused right now, who is she talking about?.
Is it one of the maids?.
If that's the case, it's none of my business.
"It's...It's the patient, she has finally woken up and she's making a mess everywhere, we tried to stop her but she wouldn't budge" she says, trying to avoid my eyes.
I didn't wait for anything before I storm out of the room like a hungry lion.
She's finally awake, I'm glad she's finally awake.
I storm into the room to she how she's doing.
To my utmost surprise, she's standing there by she side of the bed naked, yes naked.
She's also holding a knife in her hands too.
