Stepbrother Mine A Son For Alpha Zoren (Ciara) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Ciara

“To lead us.” Another added.

“Guide us.”

“And fulfill the prophesy none of us could for centuries.” Another reflection added and everyone of them hooted happily. I kept taking backward glance, my eyes darting around and panic filling my entire insides as confusion filled up my head even

more.

“What the- what’s going on? Why are my reflections talking to me? And how did I get here?” I cried out as my eyes darted around fast. “I’d like to leave please. Please!” My voice rose on the end of the sentence.

In an instant, everywhere darkened and it was like I got sucked into a tiny hole. As I screamed, I closed my

Eyes tightly while it felt like I was spinning in air, and when I returned back to reality. I was still screaming-

With a startle, I swallowed the rest of my scream, but to my utmost disbelief, no one other than Gregg was right In front of me, looking baffled and worried. He was holding my shoulder and sitting beside me and that’s when I realized with a yelp that I was seated beside him in the couch and not outside the room.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? You zoned out and suddenly began to scream at some point. Are you fine?” He asked, worry filling his voice. It completely caught me off guard cause I thought that even though he was now gonna tolerate me for his son’s sake, that he still hated me so much.

From nowhere, a sob caught in my throat and tears filled up my eyes as well. As I sniffed, I wiped at my face fast, but it was too late. He pulled me into his arms, startling me and rendering me breathless.

“There, there, child. It’s okay.” He murmured quietly as he patted my back. I remained stiff, unsure of what to say or how to react, but after the initial shock passed, I completely broke down.

All the emotions that have been bottled within me for ages, all of them tumbled out. I clutched him tightly as I cried, unable to control my tears. I felt deeply soothed, perhaps it was because I’ve always missed the loss of my father and this is the time that I’m feeling something close to getting a father’a hug, but it completely broke me.

After a long while, I finally quitened down. As I sniffed, I let out a long, shaky exhale, feeling utterly embarrassed cause Gregg’s shoulder was completely wet and he was still patting my back.

“Uh, sorry…” I began as I started to pull away but he pulled me back, shushing me and making me blush in utter embarrassment. He was still patting my back, making me feel like a five years old once again.

“There’s no need to apologize. You needed to let all that out.” He pointed out and I sighed shakily again.

“I shouldn’t have burdened you with all of this… it’s pretty embarrassing.” I mumbled quietly as I attempted to pull away again. However, it seemed like everywhere suddenly dimmed around me, and when I felt something close tightly around my chest and start to pull, I stiffened and panicked cause now I recognized these signs. This happens before I get pulled into that room filled with mirrors. I tried to speak, to ask Gregg to help me or something, but when I blinked once. I was able to breathe properly and as I looked around, I realized that I was in an opened area. There was no mirrors present. All that was present was the sky, some trees, and a bright yellow flower right in the middle. It felt like the flower was calling out to me and so I inched closer, feeling beyond skeptical but unable to resist the pressing pull within me until I was crouching right in front of it. The flower resembled a sun flower but it wasn’t. It was shaped like a lily, smelt like fresh roses and had no other color aside yellow. It’s a completely different flower that I couldn’t recognize.

The world suddenly tilted around me and as I blinked once, I realize with a startle that I was back in where I previously was, in Gregg’s arms. He dropped his arms and asked me if I was fine, and from the way he acted, it didn’t seem like I zoned out this time. But I was beyond sure of what just happened even though I couldn’t explain it.

Chapter 56

What the hell was that? What was that flower? Those words danced through my mind that was already filled with so much confusion and even as I assured Greg that I was fine, I couldn’t shake off the cery feeling off my chest when I exited the room for real this time.

Was that some sort of… vision?

That thought made zero sense to me. I let out a long sigh, scrubbing a hand over my face.

What the fuck was all of this about?
