Chapter 516 Life Without Mate
Frenchies peeked down at the letter, his blood turning warm after reading through the contents. He remembered the times when they had to turn down the entire Brightmoon World in order to capture him. It had already been a hectic journey to hostage him inside the coffin. Now that, he was roaming out there freely, his lord wasn't safe anymore.

Cedric crumpled the letter into his fist, his eyes narrowing dangerously to mutter in a sharp voice,
" He is here, Frenchies. I was fucking right!"
He slammed the crumpled paper down on ground, groaned lowly in anger. At least, he had a bit hope that his assumptions were wrong but unfortunately, he replied to his letter, confirming that he was out of coffin.
Frenchies whispered, afraid of triggering his rage anymore,
" What should we do now?"
Cedric had a frustrated expression appearing on his feature. His breathing came out as panting as he ordered sobering down his anger a little,
" Help me summoning my dark powers tomorrow. I don't know what he is planning to do out there but I can't take the rage."
Frenchies nodded agreeing and immediately turned around to go back somewhere which no one knew.
The morning son pricked through lavishing curtains, crawling over the bed barely. Ayra had her eyes deeply shut until the rays fell on her eyes and her pupils shrank instinctively. Groaning out lowly, she opened her eyes to greet a familiar ceiling.
Her eyes froze as she looked around to find herself in Basarisk. A shy smile formed on her lips to think that he might have taken her here last night after passing out. The memories were sweet inside her head but all the turning events flashed back to steal all her pleasent feeling.
She sat up groggily to discover no one around. Her heart swelled bitterly as she hoped to find him next to her. Her memories regained and she recalled the time when she confessed her love for him.
But why didn't he say anything as response?
Her insecure thoughts couldn't sink deeper as a maid knocked at her door, asking her in a loud voice,
" My lady, the water is ready. Would you like to take warm bath?"
Her lips twisted bitterly to think that Cedric even instructed the maid to prepare her shower. It felt sweet though to think that he had thought about her health first. She asked the maid to leave before dragging her sore body to the cabinet.
The shower really cooled down her body but she didn't know where Cedric was right away. She asked few maids out of curiosity but no one saw him since morning. Feeling a lot light headed, Ayra tiptoed for Alexander's room and found him in the library, buried under books. Though he wasn't obsessed with books like Nathan, from time to time Alexander nurtured his academic knowledge.
He teased her after noticing her on the door,
" Looks like my sister has finally time to meet her brother. Aren't you supposed to cuddle in his highness's arms?"
Her cheeks reddened slightly but she brushed it off since she had other serious issues to discuss. She snorted entering to take one of the vacant chair,
" Hmph! You are too annoying, brother Alex. I came to share with you something. Only you can help me out."
Alexander furrowed slightly, teared his eyes away from the bookshelf and came to sit beside his sister, giving her full attention. He spoke observing the fear in her eyes,
" Is everything okay with you?"
Ayra nodded meekly but replied with her words in the second,
" I..I went to search for my mark last night and met Enchantress, brother. She told me something weird.."
Her tears had already pricked from the corner of her eyes. Even the thought of killing Cedric shuddered her heart painfully. She didn't know when did she started caring for him that much.
Alexander blurted dropping his book aside suspiciously,
" What do you mean? How is it possible? What did she say?"
Ayra mumbled her words out weakly, looking down at her lap to avoid her tears,
" Something.. like..I am the slayer, killer and lover..She wished a pathetic love for me..I don't know how.."
" A life without mate? Isn't it?", Alexander interrupted her words by pulling his brows together tightly. His expression changed momentarily after hearing those words from her mouth. He read it before somewhere.
Ayra stared up at him wondering,
" What.. what do you mean? How do you know?"
Alexander exhaled through his nose heavily. Pushing himself up from the couch, he moved in a corner in order to put out the witch craft book that he read yesterday. Though no spells were mentioned, very few important notes were mentioned about witches.
Alexander turned on the pages anxiously to read the words. Ayra waited for him in silence and gripped her palms together secretly. She didn't wish to hear something more bad today. Her heart still ached to think that Cedric didn't give her any response last night in lake.
Did he love her really? Or she was mistaking his feelings towards her?
Alexander stopped at something and his eyes dialeted looking up at Ayra. He squeezed his words out, feeling his heart shaking for his sister in fear,
" Here this!! The first generation witch used to curse on other creatures to make their life worse than living. A long life without mate, lover."
Ayra shivered slightly, fluttering her eyes in pain repeatedly,
" What.. what did you mean exactly, brother?"
Alexander blurted the truth, closing the book in thud,
" The person that you will love would be killed by you one day. This witches wish lifelong pain for their enemies and want to see them in hell for eternity. If..I am not.. wrong sis.. It's the same curse that..we are talking about.."
