She nodded “When you succeed, that’s when I too can leave this world in peace”

“Do you think we can trust witches?” Drake asked Titus and I after we returned from our 3 pairs of eyes to talk with Lola, who was currently outside with the werewolf protectors of Trazmoz.
“We have no choice” Titus pointed out and I nodded in agreement with his comment.
“After all, she has something that can defeat the black witch Pearl, all that’s left is to find her mortal body” I added to the others who nodded.
Although the surviving core of Trazmoz is a former castle, there wasn’t much furniture inside, so we all sat on the floor cosily around the festive fire to warm ourselves from the piercing cold.
The only furniture available was a few beds but not all of the rooms were usable, so the rest of the members slept in these rooms with only clothes.
“So, what are we going to do?” Asked Jose and everyone seemed to be waiting for orders from Titus, but the man beside me sighed which made me raise a confused eyebrow, especially when he looked in my direction.
What? I mouthed him.
He didn’t answer and just continued to stare at me “Rest again tonight, I will discuss everything first with your queen” His answer surprised me, but the other members just nodded their heads obediently without daring to argue with him.
Then, he asked about what had happened since we arrived in Spain to get here.
One by one, we began to recount what had happened, from the meeting with Raul, as well as the guards and the ambush that we thought was attacked by rogues but turned out to be Lola and the Trazmoz guardian wolves who were actually the real owners of the fake guardian bodies that greeted us in the city of Zaragoza.
We spent the night together in that room and I fell asleep on his lap while he continued to talk with the other members as if he had no fatigue.
A warm hug and a stroke on my cheek woke me up and I saw him still awake while staring outside.
It turns out we’ve gone back into the room without me realising and I get up to sit beside him while resting my head on his shoulder “What are you thinking about?” I asked softly. He looked back at me before kissing my forehead as a matter of habit and wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
“Many things…” He said “About the things that happened up to what I know today” he paused and sighed “Regrets for past. actions and also fears for the future… about you… everything about you… all of them.”
I understand why he thought that, because all of this happened because of him or that’s what he thought.
“Destiny is unpredictable or so Destine once said” I said and looked back at him with a smile before lightly kissing his lips “Sometimes if it’s not you there will be a way when it’s destined to happen, so it’s not your fault…. The most important thing is now let’s work this out together” He smiled as he looked at me with a gaze that made me weak again.
Yes, the look he always gives.
Approaching him, I stroked his cheek before giving him a warm and intimate kiss which he returned.
“I love you, Gwen” he whispered before kissing me back and holding my body with the warmth of his love.
Third Party Point of View
Replacement dolls all died in Zaragoza?!” I was shocked to hear the information from Peter, one of the Alphas I managed to spell into my subordinates in Spain “Now where are they?” I asked quickly and hoped the answer wasn’t what I thought I would hear.
Please don’t…
With Morena gone, then this?
