Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 69

We got home and I immediately went upstairs and took a shower where I bawled my eyes out until they were dry. I had no more tears to shed. My mate was lying in a bed at a random hospital, and I couldn’t even be there to help him survive. I hated this war, hated being put in this place. That bullet should have been mine to endure.

Lying in our bed, I reached over to Wyatt’s side and was met by the coldness. Grabbing his pillow, I hugged it tightly. It smelled like him still and it comforted me a little. Tomorrow, I must walk freely into the council’s arms and present myself to be questioned. Further away from where I feel like I should be at right now. I didn’t want to go before and now I really don’t want to go. I know I need to stay strong, but damn if I have to like it.

I, suddenly, felt really sleepy and so I closed my eyes. Next thing I know, I am in the most beautiful garden. Lush green grass, flowers of every color scattered around in a spiral, creating a path, leading to a bench where a woman sat. I recognized her instantly.

“Hello Sabrina!” I said as I walked over to her and sat down.

“Hello my dear child.” She said in her velvet smooth voice.

“Why am I here?” I asked, looking around. Last time I was here, I didn’t get great news, so I am a little nervous.

“I wanted to check on you before tomorrow.”

“Is Wyatt going to make it?” I asked, just getting right to the point.

“My child, I do not know. That bullet was not meant for him. However, I chose him for a reason for you. He is strong. You held on to the bond and sent him your energy and that will make all the difference. But you need to keep your energy, as you will need it now.”

“Is the war still going to happen? We got a lot of alphas on our side.”

“Yes, I still see the war happening. You must get the evidence. I am afraid that you will continue to see attacks if people think you just bested the council and you were rightfully their queen.”

Sighing, I just looked straight ahead.

“Don’t worry about Wyatt. I will take care of him. You need to focus on your job tomorrow. Remember, 3 days and you HAVE to leave.”

“Is Grant on our side?”

“Yes, he has an unusual way about things, but he will help you.”

I blew out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “So, I need to give myself up for questioning, handle being tortured, sneak out, find Devin’s office, get the evidence and escape in 3 days without being caught? Easy enough” I said, recapping my plan.

“I don’t minimize your sufferings, Nina. But I can only tempt fate so much. Things could be much worse if I did. All I can do is guide you and help you succeed. I have been waiting YEARS for you to be born and for my creations to stop hurting each other.”

“Why me though?”

“If not you, then who? Would you transfer this burden to anyone else?”

I hung my head ashamed, “Of course not.”

“And that’s why. You are good. You represent all that is good in this world and will make a warm and fair queen to them.”

“I just hope I don’t fail.”

“You won’t. Have some faith in yourself. As a parting gift, I’ll give you 10 minutes.” Sabrina said as she vanished.

“Wha…”

“Nina?” A familiar voice called out

“Wyatt?” I whispered and ran to him, hugging him with everything I had in me.
