THE MYSTIC ELEMENT

CHAPTER THREE

"You ....... you're ........ but how? ........ how do you heal so fast?", she asked more to herself than to me. I laughed as I saw my best friend lost in her own thoughts.

"Calm down, Diana, I'll answer your questions". She breathed deeply as she sighed loudly.

"Okay. How do you heal that fast? I mean, you don't have a wolf yet and you heal really fast, how is that possible?", she asked and I sat down on my bed.

"You are aware that I'm not from this pack, right?", she nodded. "My dad died when I was two years and around that time, my mother was pregnant with my younger sister, according to what my mum told me. My mother and younger sister also died when I was eight, but one thing people didn't know was that their death wasn't ordinary. Presently, my mum is the Queen of the underworld while my sister is the next to the throne". Her eyes widened as she sat beside me on the bed.

"Then, why ain't you the next to the throne Why are you here?An Omega to be precise?", she asked inquisitively.

"I was actually born for another purpose. I'm a Star", I admitted and she looked at me, not understanding what I meant by that. I lifted up my top and showed her the tattoo on my side waist and she scoffed.

"Just because you have a star tattoo on your waist, does that make you one?", I giggled and she furrowed her brow

.

"It's a birthmark. It tells who I really am, Sydney Gold".

"Does that have anything to do with your hair being double coloured and your eyes being gold?", I nodded.

"Ohhhhhh", she teased, tickling me.

"I also have a wolf", I confessed.

"But you said you were wolfless?".

"I lied. Her fur is black with strips of gold at each sides and her name is Gold".

"Is everything about you now gold?", she asked and I snorted.

"I'm sure you also have powers like in movies", she joked and I hum in approval.

"Wait ....... it's a lie ....... really? ........ seriously? girl, what the f**k?", she screamed in excitement and I rolled my eyes, amused at my best friend's behavior.

"You're lying, ain't you? Please, tell me the truth, don't keep hanging", she pleaded. "If you really are not lying, prove it. Show me your powers", she demanded and I twitched my lips. I looked around my room , looking for what I could use as an experiment. I saw my hair comb lying on the floor and I smiled in victory.

Using my index finger, I initiated my air power and used it to lift the comb, move it to my table and drop it there. Diana clasped her hands tightly and yelped in excitement.

"You have powers.Why don't we tell the pack and raised your position from an Omega?".

"I can't. Didn't you wonder why no one knew about it?", I broke it to her and her smile faded as she sat up.

"Why? You have the powers, why can't you use it for your advantage?". I stood up from the bed and walked around the room, sighing as I did.

"I don't know the full details but my mum told me to tell no one about my powers, my wolf and the reason why my hair is double coloured".

"Why?".

" .......... because my life is gonna be in danger if I do. A lot of people will be after my life. Actually, I'm not believed to be in existence, I'm believed to be a myth. Someone who parents used as a bedtime story or to scare their kids", I looked down, fidgeting with my fingers.

"Then, how special are you for your life to be in so much danger?".

"I don't know. I don't know who I am, what I am or what my purpose of existence is. But my mum told me that only one person can find the answers to my questions for me".

"Your mate?".

"I really don't know", I answered defeated.

JAMES WESTON

"Hey babe", Samantha entered into my office, came over to my desk and pecked my lips.

"What have you been up to? I haven't seen you since today and you were already out of bed when I woke up?", I asked her as she stood at my back, giving me a massage.

"Well, nothing really much, just dealing with an Omega".

"You're too into dealing with Omegas, must you punish them every time?", I looked at her, amused and she shrugged.

"They just don't know their place, they're too rude and disrespectful".

"Even still, Sam .........", I tried to reason with her but she cut me off.

"C'mon James, we have less than one week to spend with each other before our break up, let's not use the little time we have to argue about those disgusting slums and enjoy our time together", she said as she began to caress my face.

"What if you're not my mate?", I asked with concern but all she did was to shrug.

"Then, your mate and I will have to duel till last breath, unless you reject her and choose me", she winked at me and I sighed loudly, giving up.

"C'mon babe, give me some of your time", she whined, pouting and I smiled at her. I stood up from my chair and drew her closer to me, taking her lips in mine as she moaned in delight.
