SABRINA
I paced to and fro around my chambers, biting my upper lip in annoyance as I awaited the arrival of my mates. They had directly followed the guards in making sure Cory was locked up in the castle’s dungeon.
Cory’s words still echoed in my head.
He called himself my first love. If he was truly my first love then why haven’t I gotten any memory or awakening of both of us?
How can he even be my first love when he was the same person that murdered me in all my lifetime? Not to mention that he also sought to murder me in this life.
Was that what love meant to him?
I thought I was close to ending it all but Cory’s confession got me so perplexed and at crossroads.
The moment Cory said that, he passed out immedately.
“Sabrina I think you should rest” Asa adviced me. I stole a glance at her, having forgotten that she was in the room with me.
“You knew about Cory and I being lovers once and you didn’t bother to tell me?”I asked her for the umpteenth time once again after she had confirmed that Cory wasn’t lying.
Asa remained silent and adverted her face from mine.
“What the hell is going on? Why am I always kept in the dark?!” I threw my hands in the air.
“It was the kings instruction that no one revealed that to you Sabrina” Asa tried explaining herself but I was way too cross to hear her out.
As if on cue, the doors to my chambers were pushed open and my mates walked inside.
“What’s going on?” I asked them the moment I sighted their appearance.
“Mina calm down and let us explain” Nelyx said motioning his hands at me.
“Don’t tell me to calm down. Why did you hide it from me? Why didn’t you tell me that I and Cory were lovers before in Mina’s life? Were you scared of loosing me to him? Is that why you both hid it?!” I threw my questions at them.
“No we weren’t scared of loosing you to him Sabrina. Will you just calm down?” Aklyn replied massaging his temples.
“I shall take my leave now” Asa intruded into our tensed conversation before quickly walking out.
“Then why did you both hide it!?”
“So as not to hurt you Sabrina!” Nelyx matched my tone. I felt my skin recoil at that moment.
“How would you have reacted from the beginning if we told you that your first love murdered you in such a gory manner because fate had predestined you for us? How would you have reacted if we had told you that he murdered you in every other life time? How? Tell me!” Nelyx yelled more.
I was dumbstruck and I realised his points. Obviously I would be hurt and it would change a thing because I would still hate Cory.
“Exactly” Aklyn chuckled darkly.
“Sabrina we love you. We’ve always loved you and we won’t stop loving you. Everything we’ve done up till now was for your own benefit. We were devasted when you died as Mina and more broken when Cory kept on beating us to reach you. But when we finally found you right when you were in your mother’s womb, we made sure to protect you at all cost. Yes Cory was your first love but fate brought you to us and you loved us from the beginning” Nelyx said, his tone calmer this time.
I felt my heart melt at his words and few traitorous tears slipped past my eyelids.
“Why then can’t I remember Cory being my first love?” I prod.
“We don’t know” Aklyn replied.
The room went silent and my thoughts ran fast.
I sucked in breath and made a drastic decision.
“I want to go speak to Cory”
“What!?” Nelyx flared up again.
“He might kill you” Aklyn added.
I shook my head at him. “He won’t. I just feel he won’t”
“We will follow you then” Nelyx decided to my dismay.
“No”I declined. “Stay back. I want to see what is in Cory’s heart. I want to speak to him heart to heart and soul to soul”
“Mina we don’t trust that demon” Nelyx pushed further.
I approached him and softly caressed his cheek, “I know. But you trust me don’t you? I can protect myself now. I’m now a demon like you so please let me do this ok”
Moments passed and I got no reply from either of them. They were struggling with their emotions.
“Fine. You may go. But if you feel he’s going to harm you, do not hesitate to leave there and we will be just around the corner” Aklyn gave in.
I sighed with a faint smile and kissed each of them before walking out.
He won’t hurt me. I just knew he wouldn’t.
