The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

We walk through the courtyard, and I see Yiselda sitting by herself. She appears troubled.

“How about you two go on ahead? I’m going to see if Yiselda is okay,’ I say.

Magnus and Alec peer over to Yiselda and see her moping on a bench seat. They nod and walk away together.

Sometimes I don’t get Alec and Magnus. They argue and fight, yet they are by each other’s side more than mine at times. They truly are like brothers. I roll my eyes at the back of them again.

‘Yiselda,’ I say in a chirpy tone and sit beside her. ‘You didn’t come to the orc trials?’

“No,” she says quietly.

‘Oh, I was hoping to see you there, but that’s okay, I smile.

She waves her wand at the ground in a circular motion making the leaves float from the ground and swirl into a tiny whirlwind.

‘So, you seem pretty quiet

and glum?’ I say. ‘You don’t like it here?’ I add.

‘It’s not that I don’t like it here. It’s absolutely beautiful here. I miss Pandora’s box, though. It’s always been my home, and to see it burn down like that and to know we won’t be returning to the human world. I can’t rebuild my home there. I think I’m feeling homesick. I’m sure I’ll adjust over time, she frowns.

‘What if we were to rebuild a Covenstead here for you on Emerald Island? We have people with the knowledge and skills of different trades, and with the help of some magic, we can have it built in no time at all!

‘Really?’

‘Truly,’ I smile, ‘You gather the coven, and I’ll gather the tradesmen.

With a ‘Skedaddle Dash, Yiselda has disappeared to gather the witches.

I approach each workshop and ask them to help build a new Covenstead. Yiselda, May, Fern, Ela, Lilac and Ria appear behind me, startling me.

‘Sorry, Yiselda laughs.

‘Alright, let’s find a spot to build our new Covenstead,’ I say.

We come across a clearing a few yards behind the castle.

“Here would be great. I don’t want to be too far away in case anything bad ever happened, and my help was needed, Yiselda says,

‘This is Mysteria, Nothing bad will happen,’ I assure her.

‘There have been wars before,’ she points out.

“True, but we aren’t a threat to anyone, I shrug.

‘Let’s hope it stays that way then’ Yiselda smiles.

We return to the courtyard and tell the tradespeople where we will build. The men look at the materials and then the distance to carry it all, giving each other a worried look,

“Lifto Levitatous, we all say, lifting bundles of wood, stone, and other materials off the ground. The men, relieved they don’t have to carry the materials, follow us to the building location. We place the materials down, and they begin building right away.

Hours later, we are running out of wood. ‘Spawniate,’ I say, turning the last wood plank into a hundred new planks. Kadva joins us and casts his magic to help move things along. By day’s end, we all stand proud and admire our work. Although it’s not the same as the old Covenstead, it’s close enough.

‘Let’s go inside,’ Yiselda beams.

We all cast our wands and say, ‘Materialise’ furnishing the Covenstead.
