His Nanny Mate (Moana and Edrick Morgan) novel Chapter 247

A little while later, Edrick and I were standing in the front doorway of the mansion and looking out at the scene before us.

The security guards were leading Michael, who was cuffed, over to the car. His nose was still clotted with blood from Edrick’s punch, but something about it was satisfying to see. I enjoyed seeing Michael finally face some consequences for his actions, and I especially enjoyed watching Selina scold him like a child.

What was even more satisfying, though, was seeing him being shoved into the back of the car to be driven down to the police station.

Kat was found by the guards, too. Not long after Edrick punched Michael in the face, Kat was found hiding in the woods. As it turned out, Michael paid her a pretty penny to get close to me and lead me off into the forest to get lost so that he could kill me. She looked ashamed as the guards cuffed her, and wouldn’t even lift her gaze to look at me.

Edrick had already called the police and told them what happened. They were waiting for Michael and Kat now, and I couldn’t wait to see them both behind bars after everything that they did along with Kelly and Ethan.

As we watched the security guards drive away with Michael in the back of the car, Edrick slipped his arm around me and let out a sigh. I couldn’t help but tear up as I gazed up at him; just an hour ago, I thought that I had lost him forever. And now, he was standing beside me without a scratch on him.

“Come on,” Edrick said, guiding me away from the door. “You should rest. Are you feeling alright?”

I nodded. “I’m fine. I feel great, actually. Maybe we should follow the security guards so we can give our statements to the police—”

Suddenly, Edrick threw his head back and laughed. It was a loud and hearty laugh, much like the way that he laughed when we went to the comedy show together. Hearing it after thinking that I would never get to experience his laughter again made me smile and made my heart feel full.

“You’re always onto the next thing, aren’t you?” Edrick asked, giving my shoulder a squeeze. “Always so focused on your goals. A little hard-headed, too, if you don’t mind me saying.”

I felt myself blush. “I guess you’re right,” I said with a laugh. “I guess I should have stayed here instead of going on that walk, huh?”

Much to my surprise, Edrick shook his head. “It’s not your fault,” he replied. “All of this would have happened one way or another. Those dreams that you had were visions of the future — you have the power of Foresight. There would have been no way to get out of what happened on that cliff.”

I couldn’t help but furrow my brow in confusion. “But my visions were wrong,” I said. “I always saw Michael killing me and pushing me off the cliff…”

“We’ll never understand it,” Edrick said. “Foresight is a powerful gift, but it’s often misunderstood. Someday, maybe you’ll learn how to harness it a bit better. For now, though, let’s just be glad that your visions prepared you for what was to come. I think that without those visions warning you about Michael’s plan, he would have been able to kill you.”

I stared down at the floor for a few moments, processing. If only the Mother Witch was still alive and could help me figure these things out. Now, I was alone in this. It was going to be a massive learning curve to teach myself how to be the Golden Wolf. Where would I even start?

But I supposed that I wasn’t really alone. I had a family now. At least we could learn together and be there to support each other through it all.

Finally, I felt Edrick’s hand under my chin. He tilted my face up and for the first time that day, I was able to gaze into his blue eyes deeply without any pain or worry. There was nothing steely or icy about them anymore. They were even more blue than the sky.
