Chapter Twenty-Five
Natalie's POV
Dream
"You can't catch me!" I shouted to my best friend Carly and ventured in the forest.
I could hear her shouting to me and sensed her when she entered the forest too. I used my magic to push away branches and make a path for myself because the trees in the forest were really thick. I made sure to bring them back the way they were to avoid leaving a trace for Carly to follow me. Soon, I couldn't sense her near me which meant I had gone far and left her behind.
Carly was a werewolf and she would soon sniff me out and find me. She was the beta's daughter, a year younger than me. Me and my brothers had turned seventeen years old this year which meant I had a year to go before I took over my high priestess duty completely.
Once I was of age eighteen, I would move out with my coven and live somewhere. I knew father was building me this community and intended to make it a surprise for me on my eighteenth birthday. My powers had ruined the surprise because I knew of it before the houses were even built in the beginning.
I suddenly stopped running and looked around me. I felt strong magic and it scared me because I didn't know who it belonged to. This magic was more powerful than mine, which meant a lot because I was stronger than an ordinary witch.
I decided to run for it but when I turned back, the forest was gone. I looked around me and all I could see was snow. The good thing of this situation was that I wasn't affected by the cold. I only had on a sports bra and shorts that didn't reach my knees.
"Don't be afraid Natalie." A voice sounded and somehow, all my fears were erased in me. I felt comfortable with the voice and the surroundings no longer gave me fright.
"Who are you?" I asked looking about the empty space around me but then a man appeared from nowhere. Nothing could escape my mouth because his sight was stunningly beautiful. I didn't know how angels looked like but one look at him, I could swear I had finally seen an angel.
"My name is Justice. I am your daddy's mate." His voice was like music to my ears. I was about to deny that he wasn't my daddy's mate but then I remembered something.
I had heard dad crying a week ago that he hasn't heard from Ice for two months. Father was consoling him and encouraging him to have faith in Justice and that he would be back to them soon. This wasn't the first time I had heard about Ice or Justice. At first I thought it was two different people but then I figured it that it meant one person. Another thing was that because of my powers, I had a memory when I was conceived. I was the first to be born and there was the image of the first person I had set my hands on. Growing up, I didn't see this person and I willed the memory to the very back of my mind. But now I could see the resemblance of that person and this man standing before me.
"I'm glad that you have recognized me faster than I expected. I wish we had time to get to know each other but I'm afraid our time is limited. Your cousin, Roman, is in need of your help. You have to leave at once and stop his mate from leaving to search for him." He went on explaining the rest of his reason and clarifying what was going on.
I didn't really know cousin Roman like I did cousin EJ because Roman left when he was young, seven years ago. By the change of voice when he mentioned Roman, I knew how serious this was and it was a matter of acting fast.
"Will he really not go after his mate? Roman seems to be in serious trouble."
"I am not sure. I've been shown two visions. One is when he listens and not go and the other is when he blush off my warning and go. I'm not sure what will happen and my hope is that he does not go." Justice answered and I could only nod.
"I haven't contacted your daddy because I know how emotional he gets when it is something about me. Tell him I'm doing fine and that I will contact him when the time is right. He should not lost hope because we will meet again soon." He paused and walked to me until he stood before me. He brought his hand and touched my shoulder gently. My eyes were set upon the hand on my shoulder and when I saw it slowly vanishing, I looked up and saw him gone and my surroundings back to the forest.
"Hurry up and go my dear. You know what needs to be done." His voice sounded far away.
I started running back home because I knew what needed to be done. I didn't even sense Carly and the next thing I knew, her wolf had jumped on me and I started falling...........,..
End of dream.
***
I woke up with a gasp and sit up in bed. I raised my hand and opened the windows after tying up the curtains. The sun was shining brightly which was a new thing for me to wake up this late. It must have been the dream. The dream!
The dream flashes in my mind like a movie being fast forwarded. I remember everything and quickly get up from the bed. In a flash, I'm proper dressed and run out my room. I have to tell my parents and leave immediately to also tell Uncle Elijah and Kacper. They had to know about their son and possibly help.
"Dad!" I shout loudly.
Eldon's (EJ) POV
I smirk at Red as he gets up from the floor with a bleeding nose. Today is my day since he hasn't hit me anywhere.
"You little shit! I will break your arms." He growls and spit blood to the ground. I smile knowing it isn't just the nose bleeding now.
"Oh please. You know you don't have a chance to touch me let alone break something on me today. Just admit it. I'm better than you." I taunt him with my tongue and he growls and throw a punch my way but I dodge it and move away from him.
Alfred is my best friend and I call him Red. Him and I started to train with the warriors when we were ten years old but he was better than me at the time because he had already been training with his father, the beta. When we were paired to fight, the other warriors didn't use their strength to fight me because I was the prince and soon to be alpha. I hated being favoured and eventually stopped getting paired with the others. I started training in order to stop worrying about my baby brother leaving. It was very hard for me to watch Roman go because at the time, he was my only friend.
With Roman gone, our parents were busy most of the times with their duties and hardly had time for me. I think everyone was dealing with the change in their own way by getting stuck in their works. So I started training as a way to cope with my loneliness and luckily I met Red.
Red was the only person who took me as a friend and not a prince. He told our mentor that he will be pairing with me and that's when the beatings began. I got beat due to my luck of skill in combat and I was thankful to Red because every time he beat me, I knew I had to work harder on my skills.
Dad was the one who started noticing the bruises on my body. That was when he also realised how lonely I was when I was home. He started coming home on time and sometime he even didn't leave to his office but stayed home with me. He never asked about the bruises and when he did, he made father train me every night so that I'd be able to beat Red. I finally got it and started throwing in some of my punches on Red.
Now at seventeen years old, it's either I win a fight or he does. And today I am the one winning.
"Prince Eldon, your presence is needed in the meeting room. I suggest you clean up fast before going there." Liam announces while standing in the doorway of the training room. I nod at Red and he vows to kick my ass tomorrow. I wave him goodbye and exit the room with Liam.
"What is it about?" I ask and before he replies, I barely smell my cousins before they jump on me. I scoff and push them off me and they both smirk at me.
"What are you two doing here?"
"We have a family meeting and uncle Kacper sent us to pick you up." Nicholas replies to me and I sigh.
It is obvious that they had over heard my dad telling Liam and they came as well. Nicholas and Nathaniel were really a trouble pair and the only one I get along with is Natalie. I ignore them and their stupid chatter. I open a bathroom door and close it before they follow me inside. They knock on the door and I don't mind them as I discard my clothes and get ready for a quick shower.
**
The door is opened by the guards when I approach the meeting room. I walk towards my father and sit on the empty sit beside him.
"Since that isn't our message, I suggest you tell us what need to know." My father says and I follow his eye sight to see who the words where directed to. My wolf ears don't betray me as I hear the whispered conversation between my dad and Liam. Natalie, who my father was addressing earlier, stands up to say the message but my dad halts her as two girls enter the meeting room and walk in my dad's direction.
The two girls are my cousins, daughters of uncle Chris and Layton. They are twins and there name are Maria and Martha. They greet everyone and then look at my dad.
"Uncle Kacper, we were sent by father to deliver a message." Maria says and my dad nods for her to continue. "Great evil has fallen the secret pack omegas. We have lost our ability to heal. Mother said you would figure out what is wrong."
"It is as I feared when I first heard that Roman is missing. Since he is the Rolyn, if something has happened to him, then the power to heal will be lost in this world forever. We have no time to waste now." My dad calmly says and I wonder how he can be so calm about Roman missing. What happened to my brother? And since when did the whole family knew about Roman? I can't be surprised with how things are going that the secret is out.
"Your parents are calm because I made them like that just as I did you. This is a shocking news and to avoid you guys being angry and vengeance, I need to talk to you and using my magic to dissolve your angers is what I thought best.
I look at Natalie when I hear her voice in my head. She smiles at me and I smile back. She is right on this one. Getting angry at the moment won't help and it's not like my parents would see reason and be calm on their own.
"I'll call Kenneth and let him know of our visit. This meeting will proceed with him attending." Father states.
After calling Kenneth, father tells us that his beta is the one who answered and that we are welcome to visit Kenneth who is at the Central city of his kingdom, at the King's palace. The transportation to reach the kingdom is the next discussion that follows. In the end, it is decided that Natalie and some of the powerful witches in her coven will help make a portal to get us to the palace. This is the only fastest way to get there because it is very far from here. People will be in cars and once the portal is created, they will drive through it.
Once everything worth discussing at the moment is done, we all wait for the witches of Natalie's coven to get here. The moment they get here, the plan will be put in action. I look around the room at all the present relatives. It's been a long time since we were all gathered in the same place. Roman's missing is what has brought us all together. The reason of the meeting is sad but what is really important is the unity of the family in a crisis time like this. I can only hope that Roman is safe wherever he is. We will all fight to get him back to safety.
