Chapter 189: Consoling
Lyra ignored Lucas’ call and continued to walk toward her room. She hurriedly climbed the stairs and soon reached her room.
Just when she was about to enter, she felt a pair of strong arms encircling her waist.
’’I’m sorry.....’’ She was ready to struggle out of his hold but stopped when she heard his earnest plea.
Lucas dipped his nose in the crook of her neck and whispered, ’’I’m really sorry, Ly. It is not that we don’t trust you, but we are just scared that you could feel hurt after hearing everything’’
’’I’m not that weak, Lucas’’
’’I know, I know" he nodded at her words, ’’It is just our insecurity getting the best of us. It is us that are afraid about you leaving to your old world’’ They never saw her as someone weak. In fact, the only one who could stay calm during bad situations was her. They were a little impulsive when it came to their mate’s matters and Lucas admitted it. He also knew that she would never go back to her old world leaving them behind but in a corner of his heart, he was still scared about the possibility.
There were some things that even the most powerful can’t predict and handle. And the ’Sapphire of wish’ was something like that. They did not know much about it and the things that they knew were either informed by Darcio or someone else.
Lucas still remembered the day he first met his mate. She looked lost and confused. Like someone who saw the beast world for the first time. Like someone who did not belong here. She has spent all her life in a place they didn’t know about, so how could he believe she did not miss that world and the people that lived there?
He knew that she had her adoptive parents in that world. Even now, sometimes when she talked about that world, the first thing that she would remember was her parents. She missed them. Anyone would feel the same too but the mere thought of her missing that place unnerved them.
There were so many what if’s in their mind. What if she decided to leave this world? What if she falls in danger and the gem has no other choice than to send her back? What if she accidentally opens the portal and goes there?
Questions and doubts like these always filled their minds. It was stupid and they knew it but they couldn’t help themselves from feeling this.
