Genevive 's POV....
My sister walked in and sat around my desk.
" What's the diagnosis? Ash asked
"Do Lycans usually get cold?" I asked them back.
They shook their heads.
" Lycans as well as werewolves are always around 80 degrees. The don't get cold." James answered.
"Did you all notice how he was dressed?" I was asking and thinking out loud. Trying to organize the information.
" Maybe he's a fashionista." Talia joked.
" No, when he shook my hand he was cold. It almost felt like shaking Henry Carver's hand. He lost his warmth. He doesn't hold his tongue. He speaks as if he doesn't care what anyone thinks... Or can't care."
" What are you thinking Gen?" Sonya asked her.
"It's almost like he lost his humanity." Goddess I wasn't making any sense.
"You're right . He's losing his humanity."
I turned to look at Camila , she looked in a trance. I walked up to her and tried to get her to look at me but she wouldn't.
"Cammy?" No answer.
"Camila!"
She turned to look at me, and I saw gold circling her iris.
This wasn't Camila. I took a step back and warned the others not to come close.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
Her stare pierced right through me and made me feel small. But I refused to back down, this was my baby sister this thing had a hold of.
Taking a few steps closer to her I asked again.
"Who are you?" Trying to sound firm and strong.
She gave me a half smile, "No wonder it's you. You don't back down."
"What's me? Who are you? I won't ask again."
My eyes began to glow and I could feel the flames appearing on my hands.
" You're powerful. Good you'll need to be…The Alpha …he needs help."
I didn't know how she knew about the Alpha but I needed all the help I could get.
" Do you know what's wrong with him?"
"It's his soul…it's fractured."
I was fearing something like this. How are we supposed to fix a soul?
"You can do it. Don't look so surprised I know what you're thinking. And the answer is only you can fix it. Your sister may help but ultimately it's you that will save him."
"How? He doesn't trust me."
"Make him. Gain his trust."
" You still haven't answered my question, Who are you?"
" I am Circe."
The mother of all witches. My sisters all bowed and took a knee. But not me she was responsible for our curse. She was the reason why every being on this earth had mates but us. Even humans had mates.
"You must save him, Genevive."
"Why? Why is he so important to you?"
" Oh sweet child, he's important to you. You have an opportunity here but the Alpha must be saved."
What the hell was happening? Why is this guy so important?
The mother has never manifested herself but she does for him?
“Not for him, my child for you. I had to wait until one of our kind felt the pull. And you do, don’t you? Even if it's small you know it’s there.”
"How do I do it?"
"Trust your instinct. Trust your heart. Do not give up on him."
"What if I can't?"
"Then he'll be lost. He'll lose what's left of his humanity, and if you think this isn't your problem you're wrong. If this happens nothing will be enough for him. He'll end up conquering everything including Hecate."
She walked to me until she was right Infront of me.
"But if you do. The curse will be lifted. Your partners will remain yours and fated mates will no longer appear to tear them away from your sides."
I stared at her frazzled. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I saw how a streak of gold left Camila’s eyes and she fell to the ground.
My sisters quickly picked her up and laid her on the bed that was on the second floor in the office.
I was in shock.
Everyone was with Camila except Sonya that stayed with me.
"What did she mean 'you feel the pull' the mate pull?"
"Goddess no! I just feel compelled to help him, thats why I agreed to help in the first place." That was half true. I felt something but I doubt it was the mate pull. It was more like when you help an injured pony.
"So what are you going to do?"
"If there's even a speck of hope for all of you I'll do anything. I hate seeing my sister's fall in love and then be heartbroken. We almost lost James, remember? If I can help it I will not let that happen again."
"So we save the Alpha?"
"We save the Alpha."
“How ?” Sonya asked me.
"Sisters! We need to talk."
They all returned to their seats around my desk except for Cam that was still passed out.
“Talia you have to conjure up a potion to make him open his heart. Open to every possibility."
“Then what?” Camila asked.
“Then we make sure he sees love still exists. He lost his faith in love so we have to make him see it still exists.”
"How are we going to give it to him?" Row asked.
"That's were Samuel comes in, please call him and tell him we have to meet tomorrow."
"Yes master."
"Do you think it's true? Do you think our curse will be gone?" James wondered.
I shrugged,"I guess there's only one way to find out"
Later that night I was sitting out on my terrace. Thinking, thinking about the day,Circe and thinking about Dean. When I saw him walk into my office I thought I wouldn't be able to lie to him. Betta Samuel was handsome but Dean…Dean was gorgeous. Something told me not to lie to him but I had to. I just hope that he never finds out and if he does I hope he understands why we had to do it this way. The idea of him mad at me is very unsettling .
