Free Web NovelChapter 31: Chapter 31 I am Right
Abby’s POV
"We have, what?" I ask him, though it feels like my mind is numb. Aros sighs and sits down opposite me and Morgan.
"This is going to be a long story, but first I need to tell you; I am not evil, neither bad. I have been in love with Morgan as long as I can remember, but I will never interfere with the goddesses’ plan. She found her mate and I will let her be. She will be like a sister to me, one I will do everything to protect." Morgan sends Aros a bright smile.
"Abby, as he said, he is not bad at all. Everything was an act to fool his mother. Aros wishes to take her place as Head Wizard of the Water Coven. He wants her dead and gone, both her and her followers. He wants the Water Coven to be as good as when his birth mother was Head Witch." Morgan explains. I think over what I heard so far, and sense no lies from either of them.
"So if what you say is true, why would you treat Morgan badly or teleport us goddess only knows where?" I ask, my eyes narrow.
"I only treated her badly in public, and only when it was needed. I never wanted to do any of that or talk to you the way I did." Aros says. Morgan nods and he continues. freewёbnoνel.com
"Morgan and I had an agreement. The moment my mother showed interest in her, I made up the treaty scam to protect her. No one knows other than me and her, and now you." Aros pleads with me.
"We needed to make it as real as possible for everyone. I am very sad Miss. Meeri hates me the way she does, but in her eyes I have been treating her grand daughter terribly. She hasn’t even passed on the Head Witch position, even though Morgan was due to take over a year a go." Aros continues. I am so confused by now, but everything I have been told so far is true. It’s weird, everything I thought to be true was not. But what now? Matt will blow a gasket if I take Aros home, but I can’t just leave him be, and we have that spy problem, apparently.
"Aros, I need you to tell all of this to Matt and Jason. They need to know that you are not really an asshole or that you have been treating Morgan well after all. Brandon might still want to kill you, but he is Morgan’s mate and a gamma. The possessive gene is strong in him." I laugh at the last part. Aros and Morgan join me in the laugh.
"I need to hold off on the ’talk to the possessive Alphas’ for a bit." He says with a serious expression on his face.
"I risked getting figured out, because it is important for you to know all of this, and some of these things Morgan does not even know yet." He makes a grimace.
"My ’mother’ killed my birth mother to get the Coven. She gave me a choice to either be her son or be killed. I figured that buying my time as her son would be my best option. Sylla found out that Morgan is the daughter of Elise and the fay King Erik. This means that Morgan is part fay but not any kind of fay, a fay princess, the heir to the fay kingdom." Morgan looks at Aros with wide eyes, then she shakes her head.
"This can’t be? I can’t be a, a princess? This is.. It’s not possible. Grandmother always told me that my mother gave me and her position up, because she couldn’t handle the heart beak of her fated mate.. She, she’s dead." Morgan whispers the last part. I take her hand in mine and give it a squeeze.
"No Morgan. She is not dead, she lives with your father in the fay kingdom and rules as their Queen. I overheard Sylla tell her followers that your grandmother made your mother promise to let you be when she came back with you. She wanted to keep you, but she knew you would be a target, just like our Queen here." Aros explains with a side nod at me. Morgan’s eyes flashes with rage and suddenly a strong wind blows through the room. The power emanates from Morgan and Galaxy is coming forth. She is concerned with the sudden surge of power, and is prepared to make her submit if necessary, to make her control her powers. I decide to try another approach before we resolve to this.
"Morgan, look at me!" I say in a soothing and demanding voice. She turns her head and I see the grey swirling inside her deep brown eyes. It is outlining her eyes.
"You need to calm down and take control of your powers before something or someone is broken. The powers don’t control you, you control your powers!" I say calmly, even though the wind is picking up. I can hear her heart rate is beating fast, and her racked breaths.
"Breath slowly, in through your nose and out your mouth. I am here to help you and I will protect you, even from yourself! Now take control of these powers!" I demand the last part in my Luna and Witch Queen’s voice, full of authority. I create a barrier between the two of us and the rest of the house, including Aros, who are looking at us with wide, concerned eyes. Morgan does as I instruct and slowly the winds slow down as well. When they are all gone, but a little gale, I let the barrier fall.
"What happened?" Morgan asks in a pant. She looks bewildered, but I have a sneaking suspicion her new wolf just combined with her witch/fay powers and made her an air elemental. Galaxy hums in my head at this thought, making me sure I am right.
