Mates But Enemies novel Chapter 37

From what was happening, I knew something was amiss somewhere, Absalom and Logan had traveled to Logans adopted parents to inform them of their incoming journey and also to consult the oracle about what was happening and what could be done about it. I drove home after the interference and decided to ask my father about what happened and the reason it had to happen. I got home and went to look for him but I found him asleep. So I decided to see him the next day and went to my bedroom to sleep too.

I opened my door to find my son, Leo curled up on the bed sleeping soundly. Not intending to wake him up, I walked in silently but then I saw his eyes opened and staring at me. He gave me a little smile and I smiled back awkwardly, I had being caught. I went and sat beside him and he pulled himself into my arms and looked at me. His eyes turned from its usual gray to blue and he said surprising me,

“Mom, you were attacked by them weren't you? The next time they come to you please let them know that they have gotten the wrong person. And what they wanted to prevent has in fact come to pass, I have been born. ”

I saw that it wasn't my son speaking but his genie so I only nodded but he held my hand tightly and insisted,

“I am serious here, please tell them to come to me directly because i am not hiding from them. ”

I wanted to ask him about the questions I was curious about to see if he could answer them but I looked at him again to see that his gray eyes were back to normal. So i knew that my son was back. He hugged me and asked,

“Mom, where have you being?”

He sighed and went back to the desk and told me that the news about the werecrocodiles was nothing new to him. Then he narrated,

The Genasi and the werecrocodiles ruled the sea together and they had done that for a thousand million years. All they had to do was, if it was a genasi who was a king, he had to rule for a decade and leave the throne to a werecrocodile to rule for the next decade. And if anyone disobeyed this rule, he would become half genie and a human and it went the same way for the werecrocodiles. And they lived peacefully for so many years without any problems until, one werecrocodile decided not to leave the throne after his tenure. And because of that, a prophesy was announced that because that king was recarsitrant, a new king would be born for the genasis and he would be born of both a genasi and another being and because of this he would have eternal life and rule forever. Because of the prophesy, a war brewed among them and the werecrocodiles worn then killed every female genasi then drove them out of the sea.

He finished narrating the story and told me to make meaning from the story. I thought about it but couldn't understand, if every female genasi was killed then i was born, then it could mean that wanted to kill me too. But from what that werecrocodile told me, they were trying to stop me from meeting my mate. Why?..
