The Wolf and the Fae
chapter 79
Lucia snapped out of whatever Adrian had done as she looked at the twisted smile on Camille’s face, she shoved him back with a force she didn’t know she had, causing him to go flying out of the ruined door.
The smile was wiped from her face as there was no one in front of the two of them.
“look, I am sorry, okay? It was a tease, okay?” she moved back, trying to avoid the swinging of Lucia’s claws.
The scent of her mate, Helios, lingered in the air like a tantalizing promise, drawing her out of crazed state, she looked around, looking around to find the owner of the scent.
Her skin buzzed, the magic from the necklace. It was not like it usually did. She could feel it in her bones, something was wrong.
Helios.
Her mind raced a moment per second as she thought of him. 1
“Stay away from him,” Lucia growled, her voice laced with a primal edge that betrayed her inner turmoil. “He’s mine, and I won’t let you take him from me.”
The words were like a match to the tinder, igniting a blaze of fury within Lucia’s chest. With a roar that echoed through the forest, she unleashed the beast within, the transformation swift and savage and then she ran off, the necklace taking her just where she should be at the moment, in Helios‘ chamber
Camille’s eyes widened in shock, Lucia had teleported right before her. Only someone with a huge amount of power could do that and lucia?…

Constance stood before the towering oak doors of Helios’s chamber, her heart pounding with trepidation. She knew what she had to do, knew the weight of the words she carried within her, but that didn’t make the task any easier. For she bore a burden that no one should have to carry, a secret that threatened to tear apart the very fabric of their world,
1/3
of Helios‘ world.
With a steadying breath, she pushell open the doors, the creak of wood echoing throug the dimly lit room. Helios lid om the bed, his silhouette bathed in the soft glow off moonlight, a solitary figure lost in contemplation. But as Constance entered, he turner face her, his eyes looking almost lifeless.
“Constance,” he murmuret, his wove a low rumble that sent a shiver down her spine. “What brings you here att this hot?”
Constance took a tentative step forward, her hands trembling at her sides. “you know I wouldn’t rest till I’ve checked you in for the night”
“thank you, Constance”
“I would always be loyal to you, your grace. There’s something I need to tell you,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Something… important.”
Helios’s brow fumowed in concern, his gaze piercing through her with unwavering intensity. “What is it?” he asked, his tone edged with apprehension..
Constance track a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come.. “I know how to c you,” she said, her words hanging heavy in the air. “To restore your powerss, to free you from this..muse.
Helios’s eyes widened in disbelief, a flicker of hope dancing in their depths. How?” he demanded, his woice tinged with desperation. “Tell me, Constance,, what must II do?”
Constance swallowed hard, her throat dry with the weight off her acoffession. “You mus give up Lucia,” she said, the words tasting bitter on her tongue. “You must sever the bo thatt tiles you to her, renounce her as your mate.”
The silence that followed was deafening, a void that threatenuiltto swallow them whol Helios stood before her, his features a mask of conflictingganuitions, this hands clenche into ffists at his sides. But even as Constance waited for his musponse, she knew what it would be. For she had seen the depth of his love, hadifalttthieunbreakable bond that
bound him to Lucia.
“No,” Helios said, his voice a defiant whisper thattachawitthrough the room. “I cannot, will mot abandon her. Not now, not ever.”

“your grace, I know it would not be easy, but..”
“Constance!” he said, wheezing a bit as it took him a lot to command such air around him. “I cannot do that! You know I can’t. would you have me disobey the goddess?”
“I love her like my child, you know that and I would not want to see her hurt. The goddess knew of this curse before she paired you two together. This is cruel! Would you die then for this?”
“its more than that now” I love her and can’t let her go. He did not add the last part, fearing that if he said it out loud it would seem more real. “good night Constance”
