Arnica (POV)

"Queen, are you sure?, that cave is very dangerous she has been here for just a few days at least let her adjust to this life isn't it too soon for her," I asked her, very worried for Fiora "she has to do it anyway, why not as soon as possible it's better she realizes who she is, the longer we'll take the lesser she'll be prepared, it's for her good " The Queen replied a bit worried too.

"But remember, if it gets too hard for her to take, abolish immediately no matter what" she orders me.

"I know it's too soon but, she is right our Fiora has no idea what is waiting for her it's better she knows about these all things"

I have been controlling her dream for a few days now, it's a very powerful occult and requires a lot of energy "I am exhausted, I need a break" I thought to myself and went home.

"Hi, pebbles how was your day? Oh heck! Arnica, why do you look so lifeless" Ethan immediately came and picked me up bridal style and placed me on the couch very carefully extreme worry matching his beautiful glass-blue eyes

I smiled and curled around him as close as I could get, mates are super helpful in regaining lost energy, though their possession is something not to be messed with, I learned that very early.

"I love you Ethan and I am fine just tired and lacking energy" I was happy seeing him relaxed but still a little worried, though he is my mate he knows nothing about us, he thinks I am a witch and I kinda felt guilty for that before anyone judges me, I and every other of my kind have a very solid reason for that.

I just hope Fiora would be alright too, powerful occult not only affects the doer but also the donee.

Zachary (POV)

I didn't expect someone would be here by the waterfall this late, though the waterfall does not fall into our territory, still, no one dares to come here as it is too close to our territory, forests are safe for humans there aren't that dangerous still, while roaming around humans should be careful.

I got close to having a look at, who it was but accidentally stepped on the twig alarming this woman, she turned around quickly and froze, ogling her eyes all over me, not complaining I kinda like the effect of me on her, don't ask me why... I don't know.

Her eyes are again kaleidoscopic to bright sapphire blue what kind of species is she, I am really curious I haven't seen any species with these kinds of eyes I came out of my thoughts when she said hi.

"I am attracted to this woman I need to keep my distance," I thought to myself, "Ummm Hi" I simply replied a little confused, as we are not friends for an informal hi "I am sorry " she bowed I didn't expect that either why doesn't it feel right, I mean she is an employee and technically she should have done that but I don't know.

"It's ok we are not in the office no need for formalities... Fiora right, our new manager," I kept my distance so as not to make her uncomfortable "Yes sir " She looked a little terrified have I said something wrong?

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"may I ask you what are you doing here" She looked around and replied, "I was... I am ..." She shuddered then sighed and answered, "Actually, I wasn't able to sleep so I came for a walk, I got so lost in listening to music, I didn't even realize, I came so far then, I got tired, heard a waterfall so I came here"

"Hmm" was all I said and smiled, then I moved forward and sat on the grass, she joined me a little far away, and we both were quiet I was listening to the melodic voice of the waterfall and forest when she interrupted"Sir, would you mind if I ask you something," she asked "go on," I said

"umm, what is that shining arch on top of the waterfall," she said "Shining arch" I turned to her quickly to see where she was pointing, and to my surprise, she was pointing in the same direction, can she really... "can you see it" she looked at me confused "what does that mean," she asked.

"Nothing" Maybe she could also see it just like us few, doesn't mean she could enter there anyway "That is a shining cave I tried but wasn't able to get through it " I saw her getting visibly shocked, she kept her silence for a very long time and spoke.

"do you know the way up there" I was slightly taken aback by her words but decided to put her curiosity to an end "Hmm, it will take half an hour, wanna go?" she nodded and we continued through our path.

During our journey, I thought to myself "Ethan was right there is something around her that makes a person extremely comfortable Now, my curiosity is at its peak, what kind of species is she?" "Are you feeling tired?" I asked her, "A little I guess, also I walked a lot and I went to the office, I think, I shouldn't have hurried " she stated with a very tired face

"If you want I can take you there later," I said little worried "That's very kind of you sir, but I guess I want to see it now," she said with firmness, I wondered why, what's so important that she's willing to trust a stranger.

"May I ask why?" I saw her getting a little stiff "No, particular reason" she replied "She doesn't want to tell" Theo spoke.

I still wanted to know I think she is having way too much effect on me, and I didn't want to, but I held back. She must have her reasons and I'm not gonna force that out of her. A while later we reached our destination.

The entrance of the cave is still as mesmerizing as I have remembered, in the moonlight it shines like ocean blue, with no actual gates it's open to all but, none can enter inside when I got out of my thought to look for Fiora, she was already very close to the entrance I shouted to warn her but she already entered and, when I touched it I was thrown back immediately

she came back after few seconds all excited and happy not realizing I was on the ground "It is so beautiful it's like, OH MY GOD! you have to see it," she grabbed my hand and dragged me into the cave this time I entered, to say I was shocked would be an understatement, I could feel the heavy amount of pure energy flowing through my body, It took me a considerable amount of self-control, not to turn into a wolf at least not in front of her

.The inside of the cave was like, I had entered into a completely different world it was a majestic forest every plant, stone, and rock was emitting its shimmers, even my body started radiating white shimmers and as for Fiora she had nothing.

"Isn't it amazing it's like discovering a whole new world," she was all excited like a baby, and when she finally looked at me " WOW! You look breathtaking, with all those shimmers," she looked at herself and then her face dropped

.I couldn't control myself and I cupped her face lightly kissing her on the forehead "You are glamorous even without these shimmers" I said and then realized what I had done I quickly backed out and turned around she was all shocked and red I don't know, either with embarrassment or with shyness

.There was an awkward silence for a very brief moment "Let's discover this cave" she said and I just nodded

.Continued.....
