Chapter 187
"What do you need our help for?" Daniel questioned with a raised eyebrow.
“I've been trying to find Anastasia but she’s blocking me out" Daniel furrowed his eyebrows at the Queen of witches words.
“Aren’t you the Queen? How can she block you out?” She sighed.
"Our communication isn't like yours with your Alpha. Anastasia is stronger than I am and therefore, she can choose not to show me her location or listen to my calls. Anyway, I need your young energy to find her" Daniel sighed.
“Well Levi can help you with that one. I have to return back to the hospital and watch over Heather" Daniel muttered and was about to turn around and walk away when she grabbed his hand.
“Didn't you hear what I said? Anastasia is pretty powerful and if I need anyone's energy here, it would be yours because you are a wolf" Daniel groaned.
"Oh fuck, just make it quick” She nodded then led them over to her personal cave which was dark and had a lot of incense smell coming from it but all in all, it was still very clean despite the amount of things in it.
She walked towards an orb then turned to Daniel and Levi.
“Place your hands on it while I start the incantations” They both nodded and did as she said as she began chanting.
After a while, Daniel and Levi gasped as they began to see an image in their head and in the image, Anastasia was in it and so was an old woman but before they could decipher where they were, the image disappeared.
"What the fuck? How are we supposed to find out where she is with that?" Daniel questioned as he turned to the Queen of witches who had a complex look on her face.
“I know where she is now. You both are going to have to go get her and bring her back. The road she's about to take just to help Zane is dangerous” Daniel glanced at Levi before turning back to her.
“Look, I don't think I'm needed for this. Levi can go get her himself, I really have to return back” Daniel muttered and this time, when he walked away, she didn't stop him.
Instead, she turned to Levi.
“The Mafia King?" Levi tilted his head.
“Soon, why?" She smiled.
“Nothing. You'll go to Anastasia and make her come back. She's going to hurt herself if she continues with what she's doing” Levi frowned but nodded and after some seconds, he found himself in a forest almost identical to the one of the witches but this one wasn't as well kept. "Anastasia?" He called out her name as he glanced around. Where could she possibly be?
As he was about to take a step, an old wrinkly old woman appeared in front of him and just as swiftly as she appeared, he swiftly grabbed his gun and pointed it at her.
He furrowed his eyebrows when he recognized that she was the old woman in the image with Anastasia.
“I don't want any trouble, I just came to get Anastasia” The Old woman tilted her head at him. “Didn't your parents teach you manners? How dare you point a gun at an old weak lady like me?" His eyes widened as he immediately dropped his gun.
“Sorry, I didn't, I..." Margaret chuckled.
“I hope one day, your good heart won't be used against you by someone you love, Son and no matter what, never change. Come along, Anastasia is this way” She uttered then turned around and began walking into the forest while Levi was rooted on his spot with a confused look on his face. What the heck did she mean by that? She shook the thought away as he followed behind her. After a while, they got to a cave and at that moment, Anastasia walked out while mumbling something to herself but as soon as she saw Levi, she froze in her spot with wide eyes.
“Levi? What... what are you doing here?" His eyes trailed down her body and noticing this, she wiped away the dirt on her face and tried dusting off the dirt on her clothes but it was of no use. “Are you okay?" He questioned as he stared up at her face and she smiled before nodding.
"Of course I am, I'm more than okay. I feel so energized and I'm almost there” He tilted his head. "Where?"
“I've almost acquired the powers of a healer witch. See my foot? It was wounded before but I was able to heal it on my own. Isn't that great news?" He frowned as he thought back to what the Queen of witches said.
“Is learning this going to harm you in any way? I was told to stop you from doing this” He murmured as he moved closer.
Her heart thumped in her chest as his fingers landed on her face. She knew he was this caring and this probably meant nothing to him but to her, it meant everything.
She didn't know when she began to fall for him but all she knew was that she was attracted to his personality and his kind nature. He was different from every other man she knew and even though he appeared soft, she knew he wasn't someone to be messed with.
“I'm going to be fine. When I learn this, I can finally help Zane and Kiara. How is her pregnancy? The pain?" He sighed and she tried not to show her disappointed when he dropped his hand down from her face.
"Hopefully, it's going to get better but for now, she still cannot handle the pain but she’s a fighter, she's the strongest woman I know and I believe she's going to be able to handle it soon” She frowned.
She knew that Levi was in love with Kiara and knew how much admiration he had for her but she couldn't be blamed for being jealous.
“You should head on back. When I'm done, I'll be at the hospital so you don't have to come get me. I'm fine right here" He stared at her for a while then took off his coat with a sigh before walking past her and into the cave.
She furrowed her eyebrows as she followed behind him
“I said you can leave" He nodded.
“I heard you the first time but I don't want to leave. What kind of a gentleman would I be if I left a lady here all by herself. Plus, I want to make sure you don't hurt yourself doing what you're doing now. Just ignore me, I promise I won't interfere unless necessary” She watched him for a while then smiled.
How did Kiara not fall in love with him?..
