Chapter 189: _I Love You
My eyes jolted open in the real world as I gasped, flicking my gaze around the dimly lit room filled with the scent of herbs and incense.
The first face I saw was my Aunt Althea, who quickly tightened her grip on my right hand, which she’d been holding while I was in the mental space.
"It’s okay. I’m here." She whispered but before she could even say anything else, I blurted.
"Kaelos."
My eyes fell on the platform beside both of us where he was lying. My left hand was on his chest, allowing me to feel how slow his heartbeat was and how hollow his breathing was.
Just when I wondered if the moon goddess had made some kind of mistake, his eyelids shook, causing me to adjust my sitting position as I stared at him anxiously.
"Odessa, what’s happening?" Elder Davina’s voice echoed from a corner as she stepped closer holding a steaming bowl of herbs and mixtures. "Were you able to find the Alpha King’s consciousness?"
"I felt your struggle there." Althea suddenly mumbled, staring at me with worry. "I felt you using magic. At a destructive level if I may add. And during that time, the threads connecting your mate bond with Kaelos pulsed stronger than anything I’ve ever seen."
As insightful as her words were, I barely took note of them. All my attention was on Kaelos and his handsome features.
Due to the wolfsbane and silver poisoning, his werewolf healing factor had drastically slowed down. A small slash was still present on his face, dripping with blood.
"Odessa..." My aunt called my attention again, but this time she used her free hand to grab my shoulder.
