Chapter : 857
She nodded and nibbled on her lower lip.
“Is it wrong that I feel as though I barely know her?”
“Probably because you don’t,” Gavin said, shaking his head. “Did you know she used to go by the Alias Rachel?”
They both blinked and looked at one another, frowns marring their lips.
“What?” Selene asked, her brows pinching together.
“She worked closely with Levi for a long time… acted as his mistress and stayed by
his side while he tried to get his hands on Judy. I’m not entirely sure what she was gaining from that… but a part of me thinks she might have known all along that Judy was the rightful heir and her ties lie with Levi’s family.”
“Wait, weren’t they lovers?” I asked, confused. “If Lila was truly part of Levi’s family… wouldn’t that make them family as well?”
Gavin nodded.
“Yeah, but not by blood. Relationship by marriage. They have no blood ties,” Gavin explained.
It still didn’t make me feel any better about their relationship; Levi was so much older than Lila…he was even older than Gavin.
“I can speak with Levi again and see if he can give me any further information. He’s upset with Lila for leaving him as she did,” Gavin said, sitting on the edge of my bed. “I’ll visit him in the morning.”
Zachary nodded.
“I’ll go with you… I’d 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’t rest until I know my daughter is safe.”
I flushed at his words, and I couldn’t seem to lift my head to look at them. But I knew all eyes were now on me.
“I just can’t believe our daughter is really Judy<” Selene said, her voice cracking slightly. “I should have known Lila was never mine… I felt it… I truly did. But I ignored it.”
“And now the magic is restored in Judy?” Zachary asked, glancing at his mother. “Is that correct?”
“Yes,” both she and Cora said at the same time.
Esme glanced at Cora and gave her a faint smile along with a singular head nod.
“She will have to practice using it or she won’t be able to control it,” Cora explained. “As the only true witch in the family, I’m more than happy to help her however I can.”
“You’d do that?” I asked, my heart swelling.
“You’re my niece,” she reminded me. “I’d do anything for family. Plus… I kind of owe you after switching you in the first place.”
I let out a low laugh; I couldn’t believe that I was laughing about this now.
“Honestly, it worked out for the best.
my
I have an incredible family and met nay mate, im not sure things would have been the same if things didn’t turn out the way they did.”
Cora’s expression softened.
“I like your way of thinking.”
“So, what does this mean for me now?” I asked, looking around the room with a frown. “I suddenly have magical powers? Is that why I feel so powerful?”
They all pretty much nodded.
“You are magic’s host,” Cora explained. “All magic runs through your veins and is powered by you.”
My heart started to beat rapidly in my chest; that was a lot of pressure.
“That’s why I was told that I could break mate bonds and curses?” I asked, my eyes wide with realization.
Cora nodded.
“Yes… You can break any curse and any bond,” Cora explained. “It’s 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.”
“And you think you can help me?” asked, uncertainty clear in my tone, but Gofa didn’t falter. She gave me a firmnod and a small smile tipped the corner of her lips.
“I believe I was always meant to,” she admitted.
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.
“Okay,” I said softly. “I’ll train with you.”
“Excellent,” she said with a bright smile. “And soon enough you’ll be the most powerful witch to ever exist.”
The most powerful witch to ever exist?
The pressure was on.
