Chapter 34


    34 Times Up


    Pheobe POV


    I close my eyes after mymunication is broken with Lily. I feel like I just ran a marathon. Reaching


    someone you have no tie to is difficult. The only reason it worked is because I held onto Iris while I


    searched for her. “Pheobe, are you alright?” “I’m alright, just exhausted.” “Did you reach her?” “Yes,


    and hopefully she will believe that you’re really with me because I’m sure that Lucas has realized


    where we are.” “Well being amongst humans should buy us some level of safety from him.” Iugh to


    myself, she has no idea how wrong she is. “My brother would think nothing of killing every human in


    this city.” “He believes that humans are ants to be stepped on by the strong.” “Please don’t take offense


    but how are you rted to that evil ba**ard.” Iugh “just lucky I guess.” She takes my hand again and I


    look at her. “You are nothing like him and I am so grateful that you helped me.” “You are not defined by


    where youe from, only where you go.” I smile, just in a day Iris is starting to look better. “I couldn’t


    watch him keep torturing you.” “He has no mercy.” “He killed our father to take over the coven, I know


    he did.” “My father was a ck magic witch but he was nowhere as evil as Lucas.” “My mother has no


    idea and she would never believe me even if I told her what I saw the day father died.”


    shback


    I walk down the hallway toward my father’s office. I can hear him arguing with Lucas. “You had no right


    to take his beloved in trade.” “She is of no use to you.” “Lily is the one with the power that can make


    you more powerful.” “Why do you care father?” “Suddenly you have grown a conscious.” “Be careful


    how you speak to me Lucas.” “I am still in charge of this coven so you will do as I say and return Iris to


    her coven.” “We will find Lily without her.” Lucasughs “I don’t care what you are, I will do what I want


    father.” I hear him stomping toward the door and I hide inside a room looking through the crack in the


    door. Lucas stomps down the hall with my father on his heels. I stay a safe distance but follow them.


    Once they are away from the mansion, Lucas turns to my father.


    “Lucas, you will follow my orders or you will be banished from this coven.” “I don’t care if you’re my


    son.” Lucas steps toward my father until they are nose to nose. “You are only the leader as long as


    your alive, father.” “Are you threatening me boy?” “I don’t make threats father.” In the next minute they


    are both gone and I feel sick to my stomach at his words. I turn to head back and notice something on


    the ground. I brush the leaves a side and an amethyst ring is lying at my feet. I felt drawn to the ring. I


    pick it up, cing it in my pocket. I rush into the mansion looking for my mother. I find her sitting in her


    office. “What’s wrong, Pheobe” she says when I rush into her office. “I think Lucas just hurt dad.” She


    looks at me like I said the craziest thing she has ever heard. “Pheobe just because they had a fight


    doesn’t mean your brother would hurt your father.” “Mom, I’m telling you” she raises her hand at me.


    “Enough, I don’t want to hear any more of this nonsense.” “Go to your room.” She won’t even let me tell


    her what I saw. I head to my room.


    shback Over


    “The next morning when I woke up, my mother told me that my father had been killed by a wolf while


    he and Lucas were outside the coven.” I was destroyed. I loved my father. She wouldn’t listen to


    anything I had to say. Part of me wondered if she didn’t want to have to hear it so she could stay in


    denial that her son had killed her beloved. “I’m so sorry Pheobe, I had no idea that your father tried to


    help me.” “I still don’t understand how your father knew about Lily being special.” “I really don’t know


    Iris.” She pulls me into a hug and I enjoy the feeling offort. She pulls back and she heads over the


    dresser to pick up a menu. “Alright, let’s get something to eat because I’m starving and you need your


    strength.” “Then you need to rest and we can try to tell her exactly where we are.” I nod and we order


    our food.


    We sit down to eat and I feel someone is trying to connect to me. I pray that it’s Lily. Maybe she is


    strong enough to reach me. I rx my mind. “Well dear sister, I didn’t think you had it in you.” “F**k you


    Lucas.” “You are a monster.” “Mother may not want to see it, but I know what you did.” Heughs “oh


    Pheobe, you are too good for your own good.” “I aming for you and that b**ch.” “If you thoughtN?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    what I did was bad before it is nothingpared to what I will do when I have my pet back.” “I will die


    before I let you take her back to that hell.” “If that’s what you want, you already know mother will


    believe me if I tell her some dirty wolf killed you.” He cuts the link and any appetite I had is gone. After I


    tell Iris what he said, I go to lie on the bed and pray for sleep.


    Lily POV


    Amelia pulls back and I see such love in her eyes for me. “We will find her Lily, I promise.” I smile “the


    only thing I want you to promise me is that you will focus on growing my little bean.” She shoots me a


    re and Iugh. I’m saved by Dr. Neilsoning in to check on Amelia again. She looks at the


    monitors and checks her vital signs. “The contractions seem to be gone and with the IV fluid the


    evening primrose oil should be out of your system, Luna” “So can I go home?” “Amelia” I say because


    she needs to focus on the pup and herself. “Honestly, Luna, I would like you to stay here over night but


    you should be able to go home in the morning as long as everything stays stable.” I can see she wants


    to protest but she doesn’t. “As soon as Lincolnes back, I’m going to go see Aunt Jiselle.” “She


    might be able to help me do a location spell.” “The human city is big and we don’t have time to walk


    around and hope to find them.”


    A few minutester, Lincoln returns. I kiss Amelia and hug Lincoln before I head to my aunt’s room.


    She is sitting up in a chair and she looks so much better than when we found her in that f**king cell.


    She smiles when she sees me, but my look must concern her. “What’s happening Lily?” “A witch


    reached out to me that she is with my mother in the human city.” “A witch, what witch?” “I don’t know


    Aunt Jiselle but I have find them.” “Can you help me do a location spell?” “Do you still have the


    ne that your mother gave you? I smile and pull the ne out of my shirt. “I never take it off.”


    “Good that will help us.” She gets up, walking over to the table. “Come put the ne on the table.” I


    do as she says and stand next to her. “Think about thest time you saw your mother.” I close my eyes


    and remember thest hug we shared.


    I hear my aunt start to chant and feel her take my hand. A few secondster, images sh in my mind.


    A young woman and my mother walking through the human city. A few secondster, they are standing


    in front of the hotel. The hotel I worked in. I smile to myself and the image is gone. “Did you see where


    she is” my aunt asks with excitement in her voice. “Yes, she is at my hotel.” She looks at me confused.


    “I’m sorry, I mean the hotel that John and I worked at.” “Good find John and go to get her before that


    ba**ard finds her again.” I hug my aunt and head out of the room. Neal, Michael, and John are walking


    toward me. I tell them everything I just learned. “Well let’s get there now” John says. “Are you sure


    you’re up for this, Michael?” He smiles “I’m good Lily I promise.” I wrap my arms around Neal and we


    teleport to the woods near the hotel. John and Michael appear next to us. “I will never get used to that”,


    Michael says, and we allugh.


    We head into the hotel and Tammy is behind the desk. “Lily, it’s good to see you.” “Good to see you


    too.” “What’s up” she asks while she smiles at John. I roll my eyes “I need to know what rooms you


    booked in thest twenty-four hours.” She doesn’t even ask what for and turns to the book to me. I


    write down the three numbers and thank her before we load on to the elevator.


    Pheobe POV


    Iris is in the shower when I wake up. I walk over to the table and drink the soda that I had left from


    earlier. A knock sounds on the door. “Who is it” I say as I walk over to look through the peep hole. A


    man wearing a hotel uniform is standing there. “I’m here to pick up the dishes from your meal.” I smile


    and gather everything on the tray before I head back to the door. When I open it I feel sick to my


    stomach. It’s not the hotel worker. “No hugs for me sister.”
