Chapter 262: _You Don’t Have To Do This Alone
"I... I need..." I stuttered, getting on my feet but I didn’t even know what I needed right now after discovering all these things from Althea.
I felt caged. I felt like the gods had dealt me a fate that I definitely didn’t deserve.
"Odessa..." Kaelos wrapped his hand around my wrist, causing me to shiver a bit.
But then I brought my gaze to him and watched as he got on his feet as well, his cologne and the shampoo still lingering on his hair grounding me for a moment.
"You don’t have to handle any of this alone. That’s why I’m your mate. Your husband." He whispered, bringing his hands to my face and cupping it gently.
I blinked at him, my cheeks burning up with a blush as my eyes got watery.
No... No... Hell no!
I’m not going to cry.
"What if the Lord of the North is watching our lives through my mind?" I asked with a shaky voice. "He already made his presence known in a dream. What if he... What if he pushes me to use my magic and I lose control and—"
"That’s not going to happen," Althea spoke firmly, placing her palms on the table. "You’ll need to cut back on your use of magic now more than ever. In the meantime... It’s time I began teaching you how to control it. How to prevent it from surging in sync with your emotions."
I clenched my jaw, nodding at her but to my surprise, Kaelos brought his hands down and proceeded to hold my right hand.
"She can do all that some other time." He blurted, pulling me away from the table.
