Chapter Sixty-Six – The dark energy's plan.
(The Dark Dynasty)
Margaret woke to come murmurings and scolding inside the room which she knew was the King’s.
His mother seemed to be scolding him for losing control? That he did surely. Margaret just laid there inclining her ears to hear more.
“She is the worst mate you can have but you have to tolerate her. Scott is close and you haven’t unlocked your gift” the Queen barked.
Gerard slurped down the remaining content of his drink. Did his mother think life had been easy for him since the so-called mate came to his life?
She shouldn’t forget he felt her pain so would be very careful to not hurt her but the dark energy was just out of control.
The same dark energy that directed her as his mate and warned him to not hurt her, was the one who nearly snuffed life out of her.
When he had left her unconscious in the room, the dark energy let go of him giving him all the pain that he’d caused upon her.
If his mother thought she was suffering to much for his being mate. Then he was suffering more with the dark energy.
“I know you don’t care about her as she’s an enemy but try to be softer. I can’t afford this!” his mother barked on.
He looked up at her before shaking her head, “Mom, did you ever wonder why the dark energy gave me a mate and not you?”.
The Queen shook her head disapprovingly, “Don’t try to avoid this topic young man. I don’t need a mate, you do”
Gerard sighed. His mother would never see things any other way than the way she wanted. He drew out his sword, startling her.
She watched him carefully. He cut a little into his arm. She watched in eagerness. Her eyes widened when the cut slowly healed, leaving a thin mark on his arm. .
She looked at herself and then at him, “You mean the dark energy gives us abilities to heal ourselves?”.
Gerard laughed humorlessly. Never had he thought his mother was so dumb. He saved her the trouble rather and elaborated.
Margaret shifted a bit on the bed as she felt the drama was getting interesting. She was also curious to know how he could heal.
So far she knew only werewolves did that or was she wrong? His explanation made her believe she was far from wrong.
The King could guess, by his mother’s facial gestures that his findings were delusional but even if they were, he’d stick my them.
He had noticed, on the day his was tricked by Margaret and his sister was captured, that Margaret seemed to have a smell of cinnamon.
He felt attracted to her which wasn’t his usual behavior as he rarely changed his bed maidens. He had felt troubled afterwards.
Another example was after he caught her on the night she saved Chan. He woke up besides her, at first, and had a strong urge to bite her.
Which was as barbaric as it was new to him. The dark energy referring to Margaret as his mate, yet had the guts to hurt her only poured it’s frustration on him for not being able to be with their mate. Or in other terms, mark her.
These characteristics, from the Gerard’s knowledge of all magician and mythical creatures, are common only with werewolves.
