Chapter 27 – Ancestors
It had already cooled when everyone returned to the hut. Jae Hyun began to translate the spell and Sera and Karim set up a fire outside, as they were not useful for such a task.
Karim looked at Sera and smiled. He wished to kiss her. But he should be responsible.
“I need to tell you something.” – he said, holding her hands and smiling, looking deeply into her eyes.
Sera shook his hand, worried. But he waved asking to continue.
“I’ve been here in these woods, near your house. I’ve seen you before Wolf Paws. The clan that was here the day before you arrived at the school was mine.” – He said finally, looking away.
Sera walked away on instinct. She lowered her head, upset. Several thoughts passed through her mind. How could she trust Karim now? Something inside her believed in him, the other made her feel fearful.
“I’m so sorry. I should have told you before, but… but when I started liking you, I was afraid you’d walk away.”
She looked at him again and Karim continued:
“That day, we heard a rumor that some trace of the Cohens was in that forest. It came from an ancient prophetess of the clan, I confess I do not believe. Anyway, I smelled it. Since you’re not a wolf, it seems disposable to my father. But, I felt it and my instinct made me follow you.”
Karim looked at the cabin with a smile.
“This is where I saw you dancing in the rain. And even though it was wet, I could still smell you. At that moment, I had to let you go. I didn’t know what we were yet, but I knew I couldn’t give you to my father. so I lied and I decided to protect you. That’s what my alpha wanted.”
Sera stroked his face while he continued:
“The wolf that protected you was me. ”
This time, Sera was not surprised, she already expected.
“I’m sorry for keeping this from you. I swear what I promised you is true. I just don’t want my father to cause discord between us. And sure enough, he’d use that suit against me.”
Sera waved and kissed him. Karim smiled and understood that she trusted him.
However, her gaze was soon taken to the place they passed when their encounter with the Goddess ended.
“You don’t have to say anything if you’re not ready.” – Karim kissed her hand.
Sera smiled and wrote:
“Thank you.”
Sera wondered if she would tell anything about her past when they were interrupted by Jae Hyun.
The girl looked away, ashamed. However, the man did not seem concerned about them. He stared at the role of the spell. And with a gesture, he asked them to come in.
The younger ones followed him and he presented the paper before the candle to be illuminated.
“I’m sorry we don’t have better lighting conditions.” – Sera wrote.
“No problem. It reminds me of the past. When these novelties did not exist and we had to use nature to live. ” – I said smiling.
Jae Hyun showed them the paper and began to explain:
“This is a ritual done on the family omegas that can get pregnant. This cuts the mother’s connection at the root, creating a barrier. If the connection with the Mother was already scarce, what they did was a sin, a heresy. Against the Mother and against all the omega that went through it. – He spoke angrily, squeezing the paper. ” It’s a painful process and I’m sure they didn’t want to go through it just for a chance to have a chosen child. ”
Sera also felt enraged. What did your clan have to go through for selfish reasons?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Shortly after this thought, his head began to ache. Sera shrank, holding the spot.
“Sera, Sera. What was it? ” – Karim asked.
She couldn’t hear his voice. The only thing she heard was screams. Several people from her clan appeared before her. But they weren’t from that time. Sera was sure of that. The clothes were very different from what she knew.
They all had a look of pain and sadness.
She heard every cry and it made her scream, she saw every tear and it made her cry and felt all the pain they went through by losing the connection with the divine source of life, the connection with whom she would bless her children.
Sera felt all the anguish and distress of losing this bond. She cried and cried, as if something essential was taken from her. A feeling of emptiness gripped her chest for a few minutes.
And when everything calmed down, she could feel all the power of those omegas and all the force that had been taken from them and their lineage.
Her eyes turned yellow and she let herself be filled with this power.
“Sera, you have to cleanse the sin your clan has committed. Cleanse all the filth that has contaminated these wronged omegas. That is your duty. This place is no longer useful. Let the fire purify you and at least cleanse the dark energy of everything you’ve been through here.”
Mother looked at Sera closely. Almost swallowing her with her eyes.
Sera watched her and accepted her challenge. All the omega of her clan turned into wolves and howled. Her wolf appeared beside her and also howled.
Sera stopped crying and returned to reality. She took a deep breath, calming down. Karim touched her shoulder, worried.
She smiled at him, tired. The sensations still remained in her body. Even so, Sera wasted no time and told what she witnessed. In both encounters with Mother.
Jae hyun smiled at her.
“That’s wonderful, Sera. It’s proof that you can clean up your lineage’s mistakes and change its pattern and future. This began with his mother who, by not being born into the Cohen family, had not been the victim of such a spell and it was broken by his birth. Do not worry, your children will not inherit such weight. And now, you have freed those who carried you.”
He stroked her head and stood up.
“I think we should obey the Goddess’s wish then. ”
And having said that, Jae handed Sera a lighter. They left the hut and she threw the object at the scene.
When it all began to burn, she felt relief. The wolves of her pack appeared, now running free through the forest.
Sera smiled and got into the car with Jae Hyun and Karim.
But something was still bothering her. She looked back and saw nothing. However, as she closed her eyes, she saw Linlcon.
This made her realize that her greatest fear still existed within her. And there was no ancestor who could help overcome it.
