Ethan's POV
I cancel every plan and meetings I have today so I can be there for my mate.
Today is the day we meet the sisters and brief them on the whole bracelet nightmares situation.
Claire is nervous. I can see it in the way she won't stop pacing around. She thinks it's a waste of time to contact the sisters adding that it's not necessary to involve them. But we both know it's important we involve them.
They helped with the bracelet the first time and I know they can help this time too.
"Little wolf I'm gonna need you to stop being nervous." I finally decide to pep talk her after watching her pace around.
"I'm not nervous." She stops and looks at me trying to hide the obvious.
I raise a brow at her and she sighs.
"Okay fine, it's just that, it's been a while since I last saw them. And calling them to ask for help is....weird." I look at her perplexed and she continues to pace around.
"I thought you ladies put your differences aside for the greater good." She looks a bit annoyed at my statement.
"Yes we did. And it still doesn't take away the fact that I stabbed them and tried to kill them.“ She states and I get a hold of her to stop her from pacing around.
"They did the same to you. Besides they know about this darkness more than anyone and you know deep down that they are the only ones who can help.“ She sighs at my statement.
"Everything is gonna be okay. I'll be there with you." I add for comfort and she immediately smiles before I pull her into a hug.
"Fine, let's go." She says pulling away from the hug and I crease my forehead.
"Go? Where are we going?" She chuckles at me.
"Oblivion." She adds smiling like the word is a good thing.
"I can't use magic. But the sisters made sure I can visit whenever I want." Claire says backing up a bit.
"And how do you do that?" I ask curious.
She extends both her hands to me and I gladly take them.
I watch her close her eyes to concentrate and before I can blink we are no longer in my office.
I find our surrounding to be that of an ancient ballroom and I gape a bit with surprise.
"This isn't nothingness? It looks like..."
"A castle." Claire cuts in with a slight smile.
"Well it is a castle, quite similar to yours." She adds then let's go of my hand.
I look around for a while quite mesmerized at the place when we hear footsteps.
Two ladies walk right through an opened door and I immediately recognize that red and white hairs.
"We thought it would take probably a year before you came looking for us." Quinn says looking the least surprised to see us.
"Hello to you too." Claire replies sarcastically with a smile and I have to stifle mine.
"I'm sure Quinn means to say she's surprised to see you." The white haired, Serena speaks but one look at me and she frowns.
"You brought your good looking boyfriend." Quinn addresses me whilst Serena facepalms and Claire smiles.
She thinks I'm good looking? I don't blame her.
"Yes, we need your help." I say my first sentence catching the sisters' attention.
We move to an office that is similar to mine but quite old with very old furniture.
The sisters walk over to the huge desk in the room and my mate joins hands with me.
I can tell she is nervous.
"So what actually brings you two here Samantha?" They turn to question us from behind the desk but I see my mate grimace at the name.
It has actually been a while since anybody called her that.
"Sorry, I forgot that's the name we gave to your darkside from birth." Quinn corrects Serena's statement rather rudely.
Claire sighs then let's go of my hand.
"It's about the bracelet, I don't think it working again." She says and they exchange looks.
"Claire if it wasn't then none of us would be standing here." Serena says and I narrow my eyes at them.
"Well then how come she has been having nightmares?" I ask and they look in my direction surprised.
"You've been having nightmares?" Serena asks and my mates nods.
"It started off as just dreams, now I think it's slipping into my reality." She adds and they exchange looks again.
"That's not supposed to happen is it?" I walk closer to them with the look of concern on their faces.
"Yes, it's not." Quinn replies slightly checking me out.
"This could only mean one thing." We turn our attention to Serena.
"She's getting stronger." Claire concludes with fear and guilt in her eyes.
I immediately move closer to her and hold both her hands.
"She's not getting stronger, the magic of the bracelet has just gotten weak over time." I try to assure her and look to the sisters for help.
"He's right. It could also mean that the magic of the bracelet is weak." Serena takes a step closer to Claire and I can see her words giving her some sort of hope.
"So what can be done then?" Claire asks.
"Well, we just have to strengthen the magic of the bracelet." We both nod seeing that it's sounds easy.
"And that means we have to take off the bracelet." Quinn adds and I have to frown.
Now that's the catch.
"Isn't taking off the bracelet risky?" I ask and they instantly nod.
"And is there another possibly safe way?" I ask and they shake their heads.
"Don't worry, we'll put her in a deep sleep to protect her and mostly ourselves." Quinn says and I sigh before staring at my mate.
"What do you think?" She exhales hard then pulls her lips into her mouth in deep thinking.
"Do I have a choice?" She says feeling dejected but I give her an encouraging smile.
"You're going to be okay." I add and she nods.
"Okay then." Quinn says and heads out of the office.

We're back in the castle and in our room but Claire is still asleep.
The spell was done and the bracelet placed back on her but the sisters said it might take a while for her to wake up.
Thank heavens my mother is away for a while. These past two days in her absence have been totally chaotic for Claire, and I can imagine her stressing her out with queen duties.
I watch as my mate sleeps peacefully and I feel at peace myself.
Finally those nightmares will stop haunting her.
I'm also actually glad she finally told me before it could get any worse. I'm gonna have to keep a closer eye on her even after this.
"Ethan. I hope you're back now?" Logan says through a mind link.
"Yes, and I'd appreciate it for you didn't disturb me until tomorrow." I retort sounding annoyed.
"Well, it's kinda important or I wouldn't be mind linking you. I hope the Luna is okay now?"
I exhale hard.
"Yeah, she's fine now. What is it that's important again?" I try not to sound irritated though I clearly am.
"It's your cousin, he has arrived." At that I grunt and run my hand over my face.
"I totally forgot about that." I say sincerely.
"Well he's about to move upstairs right now and I think it would be perfect if you met him."
"No, I'll do that tomorrow. I'm going to stay by Claire. But please make sure he doesn't get too comfortable."
Logan chuckles.
"Sorry buddy, that's your job. Your family would have my head for disrespect." I grunt out loud again.
"Whatever. Only contact me when someone is dying or dead." I say cutting off the mind link.
I pull a chair closer to the bed so my face can be the first thing my mate sees when she wakes up.
