Hells Heaven

Chapter sixteen

Before she could say anything I asked her, "how long of you been here?"

She gave me a look, as if to say this conversation wasn't finished but answered me anyway, "Alpha brought me over when they seen what was in the blue box. He knew they were magic but he didn't know what the were used for. Normally, I wouldn't be allowed to leave, but he deemed it necessary and safe for me to come. We're in a lot of danger here. " she looked at me, c****d her head to the side then full on laughed.

"Oh my Goddess! You were looking for me that's what you meant about finding me and the book." still laughing she walked over to a shelf, muttering a few words, I realised that there was a false back behind some books. Turning back to me she had a large hardback book that looked like it could fall apart at any moment.

" You need a spell to enchant the bangles so you'd be able to enter realms undetected. Your a demon, so the heaven realm would be a no go zone for you, and your friend. This is why they called me in because you could temper the bangles to enter our realm. All you need was the blood of someone from there. " she gave me a glare, then again started to laugh her emotions were all over the place ranging from anger to pride to sadness and excitement. All I was feeling was relief.

" How else was I suppose to find a shifter who apparently had the spell I needed to go and find my sister? How long has the Alpha had a tattoo of me on his chest?" yeah I know I changed the subject on her again, but her emotions are everywhere and I'm getting motion sickness just trying to decipher them. Plus I don't feel bad for what I was going to do. Anyone in my position would do the same. Or so I hope.

With a sigh she answers me softly, "about two years ago he came back in a bad way, half his body was burned and he was suffering. The pain he was in was so bad it was threatening to turn him feral. You know what that would mean right?" I nodded my assent. If a shifter is in a lot of pain either physical or mental then they're human side can shut down. They become they're animal.

" I ended up having to put him in a coma to get him under control, so he could heal without having to go through that amount of pain. When he'd healed with a lot of help from me. I woke him up he immediately started screaming and calling for his mate. No one knew who that was. His brother and him faught for forty-eight hours straight. Then he walked away, just stopped and walked. Everyone thought he'd broke and gone feral. We started to prepare a hunting party. There was no way we could leave him out in the wilderness as a feral. He's way to powerful." she looked at me searching my face for something. Only when she carried on did I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding.

" Three weeks and we couldn't find him. Not anywhere. We knew he hadn't left the realm. Everyone was beside themselves with worry, some were just plain terrified. Then one morning he just walks back into the settlement with that tattoo on his chest. At first we were weary. After a while we realise he was our Alpha just changed. What happened shut down something in him. He focused all his energy on finding the witches. On trying to break the spell. Its like everything else didnt exist. He'd interact with us but he is apart from us. He's not the man he used to be."

When she had finished speaking we were both silent for a while. I felt so sad for him, but it still doesn't explain how its my demon. But It does explain why he's been an asshole instead of a mate.

"teach me some spells or some thing, how about that really cool lifting thing you did to Gavin?" I ask.

"sure, we can do that." both of us start moving books off surfaces so I can practice lifting the table. I don't ask anymore questions unless they're to do with the task at hand. I don't know how long we practice for but I know it's time to stop when my stomach let's out a very audible grumble.

"Come on let's drop you at the cafeteria. I need to talk to someone about retrieving those bangles." I look at her with shock.

"what? Your going to help me find her?" I ask in disbelief.

"why wouldn't I? Firstly, your my coven sister. Secondly, she could be too. Do you not remember what I said? One from each realm." I cannot keep my excitement at bay. The smile on my face makes my cheek bones hurt I skip along with her in search of food. The happiest I've been in a long time.

When we arrive Emmie leaves me with Eric again. Then tells him to take me back to my room when I'm ready. We sit at a table with our food, and eat in a comfortable silence till I'm done.

"So why me?"

I watch him closely and can see the sweat pop out at his hairline. "Do you want an honest answer?" he looks at me and takes a quick sip of his coffee.

"Would be nice to have someone who's upfront and honest with me from the start." he takes another sip of his coffee. He nods an I watch as he places his coffee on the table then wraps his hands around it. He hunches over it like he's trying to keep its warmth all for himself.

" I'm not a born shifter. I was bitten. Against my will I might add. There was a hearing etc etc. She was sentenced to death. She was the alpha of a pack. I was supposed to then be a part of that pack. Unfortunately, everyone took exception to me being there and getting they're beloved alpha killed. I was beaten daily. Until finally they beat me to near death. I was found by someone close to my lord. He took me in. He brought me here. But no one here, really wants me here. I'm an outcast." he looks at me like he's expects me to start screaming at him to get away from me.

" okay, you can be part of my pack now. " he looks at me with relief in his eyes.

" mi'lady. " he says softly. He takes my hand and kisses my fingers." let me escort you back to you quarters. So tomorrow can come sooner." he gets up and gives a courtly bow and leads me back to my room. The day might have started off bad, been a bit touch and go in the middle but I'll be going to sleep with a smile.
