Chapter 857\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nodded and nibbled on her lower lip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it wrong that I feel as though I barely know her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably because you don\u2019t,\u201d Gavin said, shaking his head. \u201cDid you know she used to go by the Alias Rachel?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They both blinked and looked at one another, frowns marring their lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Selene asked, her brows pinching together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe worked closely with Levi for a long time\u2026 acted as his mistress and stayed by his side while he tried to get his hands on Judy. I\u2019m not entirely sure what she was gaining from that\u2026 but a part of me thinks she might have known all along that Judy was the rightful heir and her ties lie with Levi\u2019s family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, weren\u2019t they lovers?\u201d I asked, confused. \u201cIf Lila was truly part of Levi\u2019s family\u2026 wouldn\u2019t that make them family as well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, but not by blood. Relationship by marriage. They have no blood ties,\u201d Gavin explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It still didn\u2019t make me feel any better about their relationship; Levi was so much older than Lila\u2026he was even older than Gavin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
>>\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can speak with Levi again and see if he can give me any further information. He\u2019s upset with Lila for leaving him as she did,\u201d Gavin said, sitting on the edge of my bed. \u201cI\u2019ll visit him in the morning.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go with you\u2026 I\u2019d like to find out everything that I can and I prefer not to be left in the dark. Now that this has to do heavily with my family, I won\u2019t rest until I know my daughter is safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I flushed at his words, and I couldn\u2019t seem to lift my head to look at them. But I knew all eyes were now on me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just can\u2019t believe our daughter is really Judy<\u201d Selene said, her voice cracking slightly. \u201cI should have known Lila was never mine\u2026 I felt it\u2026 I truly did. But I ignored it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now the magic is restored in Judy?\u201d Zachary asked, glancing at his mother. \u201cIs that correct?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d both she and Cora said at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Esme glanced at Cora and gave her a faint smile along with a singular head nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe will have to practice using it or she won\u2019t be able to control it,\u201d Cora explained. \u201cAs the only true witch in the family, I\u2019m more than happy to help her however I can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d do that?\u201d I asked, my heart swelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re my niece,\u201d she reminded me. \u201cI\u2019d do anything for family. Plus\u2026 I kind of owe you after switching you in the first place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I let out a low laugh; I couldn\u2019t believe that I was laughing about this now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
have been the same if things didn\u2019t turn out the way they did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s expression softened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI like your way of thinking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what does this mean for me now?\u201d I asked, looking around the room with a frown. \u201cI suddenly have magical powers? Is that why I feel so powerful?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They all pretty much nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are magic\u2019s host,\u201d Cora explained. \u201cAll magic runs through your veins and is powered by you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart started to beat rapidly in my chest; that was a lot of pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I was told that I could break mate bonds and curses?\u201d I asked, my eyes wide with realization.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cora nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes\u2026 You can break any curse and any bond,\u201d Cora explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful gift that you must not take lightly. But it can also be dangerous if it is not used correctly. Allow me to train with you, and we can make sure that you are always safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you think you can help me?\u201d I asked, uncertainty clear in my tone, but Cora didn\u2019t falter. She gave me a firm nod, and a small smile tipped the corner of her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe I was always meant to,\u201d she admitted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Gavin, and I saw that he was watching me, waiting for me to answer. I finally looked back at Cora and gave her a small returning smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d I said softly. \u201cI\u2019ll train with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExcellent,\u201d she said with a bright smile. \u201cAnd soon enough you\u2019ll be the most powerful witch to ever exist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The most powerful witch to ever exist?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pressure was on. (1\u00a0<\/p>\n
