Valeria POV
We went back to Tyson’s office, and I smiled when I saw Emma and sister Athena holding on to each other like they never wanted to let go. Most of the witches stayed behind downstairs, and I saw Garrett mindlinking the omegas to tend to them.
I carefully sat down on Tyson’s lap, and he inhaled sharply, taking in my scent. His breath on my neck sent tingles down my spine and I took a deep breath to calm myself. I was still relieved that Tyson’s touch had that effect on me after everything that happened.
Maybe there was hope for us after all.
Kayden, Garrett, Evy, Alex and Violet also joined us in the office, and I saw Jasmine glancing nervously at all the powerful lycans around her. I tried to give her a reassuring smile.
“Can we start from the beginning?” I asked. “You’re telling me that the witch coven that Celeste came from is preparing for war against us?”
Sister Athena nodded.
“According to my visions, they want to strike while they know that you’re weak.” She replied. “Your reputation precedes you, and everyone knows that you’re too strong to face in battle. That’s why they sent Celeste first, to give them a fighting chance.”
“And now that I’m dying, they sure got the chance they were waiting for.” I sighed. “I’m getting weaker. My wolf is gone and as my body is deteriorating, my powers have gotten weaker too.”
I looked down to avoid seeing the pain in everyone’s eyes and the room fell silent.
“I’m really sorry.” Sister Athena whispered.
“It’s okay.” I said softly and smiled. “I’m just really glad that you are here now, and that you want to help, even if it means going against your own kind.”
“Our species don’t define us.” Sister Athena huffed. “Our choices do. I might be a witch, but I’m not going to go along with the Black Rose coven just because they happen to be witches too. Besides, my visions are telling me that something greater is coming, and supporting you in every way I can is better in the long run.”
“Umm- okay.” I replied. “Have you seen anything else about the prophecy you told me about when we came to see you a few months ago?”
“I haven’t.” Sister Athena shrugged. “Most of my visions have been focused on Celeste and her movements.”
“Sorry to interrupt, but Mr Sampson just arrived outside.” Kayden said.
I immediately perked up and looked at Tyson.
“Did you ask him to come here?” I asked.
Tyson shrugged.
“Kind of.” He replied. “He called me earlier and asked how you were doing. I told him everything and he immediately wanted to see you. I’ve been meaning to tell you, but it slipped my mind.”
I smiled and we waited for Mr Sampson to come into the office. When the door opened and Mr Sampson walked in, I stiffly got up and gave him a hug.
“Hey kid.” He whispered. “How are you doing?”
“I’m okay.” I replied.
He cupped my cheeks gently and looked me up and down.
“Sorry kid, but you don’t look okay.” He said and shook his head before pulling me into a hug again.
“I know.” I whispered.
“That’s why we’re all here.” Tyson said. “We need to find a cure for Valeria.”
“And if the witches are preparing for an attack, then we don’t have much time.” Kayden added.
“Count me in.” Mr Sampson nodded and I sat back down on Tyson’s lap while Mr Sampson took a seat on the sofa between Alex and Evy.
“So what do we know?” Alex asked.
Sister Athena turned to Emma and took her hands.
“In my vision, I saw that you were given the answer.” She said.
Emma sucked in a breath and shook her head.
“I don’t know what I saw.” She replied.
“Yes, you do.” Sister Athena said encouragingly. “You just need to sort it out first. Close your eyes.”
Emma closed her eyes squeezing sister Athena’s hands. The room fell silent while everyone watched, hoping for Emma to give us an answer.
“Think about the vision that you had.” Sister Athena instructed. “What do you see?”
“I’m in a room.” Emma replied, her eyes still closed.
“What’s in the room?” Sister Athena asked.
“It looks like a hospital room.” Emma said. “There’s a hospital bed. A girl is lying on it. It looks like she’s in pain.”
“Get closer.” Sister Athena whispered. “Who is the girl?”
A frown formed on Emma’s face as she concentrated.
“I don’t recognize her.” She replied. “She’s blonde. She has a tube in her arm and a hospital gown.”
“Do you see anything else?” Sister Athena asked. “Anything that can help?”
Emma gasped.
“Her eyes.” She whispered. “They’re glowing white.”
My eyes widened.
Could it be?
“A woman just walked in.” Emma continued. “She looks like a doctor.”
“See if she has a name tag.” Sister Athena said while I felt my insides turning cold.
“Emma, does the woman have black glasses, light brown hair in a bob and a tattoo on her right hand?” I asked.
Emma nodded and looked up while my mind started racing.
“Rollins.” Emma said.
I nodded.
“She has a cure?” I asked.
“I think the cure is already inside you, your majesty.” Emma replied.
I leaned back, my mind trying to make sense of it all.
“Rollins? As in Doctor Rollins?” Tyson asked, and I could feel him tensing.
“I-I think so.” I whispered.
“No way!” Tyson almost shouted and hugged me tighter to himself. “There’s no way I’m letting her anywhere near you. Not after everything she’s done.”
Garrett raised his hand with confusion and bewilderment written all over his face.
“Umm- question…” He said hesitantly. “Who the hell is Doctor Rollins?”
