I guess I could see where he was coming from. If someone was trying to cause Sion harm. I dont think I would be for them having a second chance either. I only felt that way because it was myself. I guess I have some scars that still affect me. I feel like because it is me, they can have a second chance. I never realized the mental number the Sulfur pack did on me. I still believe in second chances.. but I understood. If someone hurt Sion… I could feel my blood beginning to boil just thinking about it.
“l understand… however, if any of them are being manipulated, it is different. Right?” I raised my eyebrows, pressing into his forehead. He chuckled and k!ssed the tip of my nose.
“As you wish, my queen. If they are being manipulated and they end up dying, I will spare their soul. Then it will be up to Reapus what happens to it.”
My l!ps parted in shock as I moved my head away from Sions. The whole time, I had been thinking about just eliminating the bad guys. I didnt think about those who were being manipulated. If we end up fighting against them, we might have to take their lives in order to survive.
It felt like my throat was constricting as I tried to breathe.
We might have to kill innocent people I just realized how vital it was for me to be able to use my powers. And even then, there could be casualties of the innocent. It was disgusting. How could they use people like that? How could they waste their lives so senselessly?!
Sions hand moved and gripped around my back. He pulled me back into him as his other hand cupped my chin. His head came back to mine and his eyes pierced into me.
“We may have to kill innocent people. What if I cant get my powers under control? The casualties will be even worse.” My voice trembled as his thumb tightened on my chin.
“If we do nothing, the casualties will be astronomical. It will spread through the packs like a plague. They will become mindless zombies doing someone elses bidding.” His eyes softened as he looked into mine. “We will do what we have to.
Innocent lives may be lost, but that is with all wars. Innocent people are always casualties. Dont put so much pressure on yourself, Clover. It is going to be okay no matter what.”
“I have to be able to help. There will be way more lives lost.”
I felt like l needed to become an expert in my powers, yesterday.
How long would it take me to be able to cleanse a pack from mind control? Can I master this in just a couple of days? We didnt have much time. We couldnt hold off forever.
His soft l!ps were suddenly locked onto mine. His hot tongue plunged into my mouth as he held me captive. He caressed my back as his other hand cupped my cheek. “Dont do this to yourself. We are not the ones who caused this. The deaths are not our burden to bear. We will do everything we can, but we have to stop what is happening.”
“What even is happening? What is the point of all of this?” I whispered against his l!ps.
“Right now, we dont have an answer to that… but does it matter? Whatever their reasoning is, they are hurting and manipulating others.”
“Maybe if we know why we can stop it…” I looked up at Sions golden eyes. He smiled at me and shook his head.
“We can only work with what we know Clover and the things we can do.” Sion was right. There was only so much we could do on our own. This was why we needed help.
“We need to get back. We need to go to the Nova pack and get in touch with the Diamond pack. We need to prepare to fight.” I could see the sadness in his eyes as his l!ps curled down some.
“I wish you didnt have to fight.”
I snorted and gave him a crooked smile. “Do you think I want you fighting?”
“l cant wait until this is all over so we can Concentrate on us” I nodded my head up at him. It was sad that we were new mates, and we hadnt gotten to enjoy the honeymoon phase. It has been nonstop chaos and danger. I looked forward to living my life with Sion quietly. learning to be parents together. It was like the dream was being dangled in front of me but just out of reach.
“Soon, my love… soon.” Sion cooed to me as if reading my mind. He pressed his l!ps against my forehead, holding me close. I felt the shift in the atmosphere as the colors began to swirl around us. The heavy, stagnant air was lifting, and color was beginning to flicker in. Sion was doing it.. he was transporting us between realms.
“Sion, Clover!” I heard Conners relieved voice, and I glanced around, seeing we were back in the living realm.
Taylors father was gone, so that must have been handled while we were gone. I wonder if he knew his daughter was alive and he was just playing the part.
“What happened?” Denny asked, looking between the two of us.
“Im still getting used to this new power I have. I just got svcked into the other realm and it took me a while to figure out how to come back.” Sion said, looking down at me. His eyes were his usual warm hazel coloring.
We need to investigate Hazels home and see if Taylors scent is there. Sion mind linked to me. I hated this part. I hated lying to them. I was an officer of the Sulfur pack, and it feels so wrong to not trust Denny. Luckily, we would pass up Hazels home on the way out. However, if someone sees us snooping around, it will get back to Denny. And I dont know what to say if he questions me.
I trust Denny and I want to believe in that trust. Maybe it was because we were mates, but I felt like I could believe in him. He came for me when I was being attacked. Jude told him I needed help and Joey always had my back. They wouldnt have ..right? If one of them was involved. I think something will break inside of me.
“Clover, are you alright?” Joey asked, looking at me intently. I swallowed and nodded my head. He tilted his head down and one side of his mouth twitched as he pursed his l!ps together. He raised his eyebrows at me as if to say I know you better than that.
“She is fine,” Sion growled, pulling me into his side. “It is a mental drain traveling between realms is all.”
“If you need to stay another day-” Denny began to say, but Sion instantly cut him off.
“We appreciate that, but we need to get going. We dont know what type of damage is being done each day. This has to end as soon as possible. So, if you have those travel supplies..”
“Yes, of course. This way.” Denny nodded his head towards the storage building. I could feel Joeys eyes on me, but I wouldnt make eye contact with him.
“What is it like over there, in the spirit realm?” Odell asked. I looked up at her and decided I would use it as a means to explain any weirdness Joey might be sensing.
“Its dark. It is as if the color has been drained from the world. The air is thick. It isnt at all what I expected. It is like a world of death.”
“Are you worried about living there?” Odell asked and I wondered if she was just asking questions or if she was trying to help me out.
I opened my mouth and paused as my brows furrowed. “It will take some getting used to, but Ill be with Sion.
We will manage.” I smiled up at him as he smiled down at me.
“Here are the bags. Take several of them,” Denny said.
