Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen-Chapter 653 The Prophecy
653 The Prophecy
Yarin's POV:
It was still a boring afternoon. Heller, Lily, and I were lying in the lounge, enjoying the scenery outside through the huge French windows.
Just then, I heard hurried footsteps outside. Lily immediately turned over and hid in the closet. There was a secret door that led to another room. It was said that this sanatorium was originally an ancient house, and its owner had built many winding secret passages and secret doors.
It was Aunt Dorothy. When she came in, she looked serious and said to me, "Don't go out for the next three days, Yarin. Something bad will happen."
I was a little confused and asked, "You mean to say…"
"I saw some visions. Right here, someone will come and abduct you. It will happen really fast. In short, if you go with them, your life will likely be in danger."
Seeing this, I became serious. Aunt Dorothy's predictions had never been wrong. I was afraid I was really going to be in danger without knowing it.
"Did you see who it was?"
Aunt Dorothy shook her head. "No, you're just like your mother. I'll never see the full picture of your fate. Anyway, you have to stay here obediently. No matter who asks you to go out, don't go out, okay?"
"Okay, I think I have to tell Mom and Dad."
"Of course, I've already told them. They won't send anyone to look for you in these three days to prevent any accidents. Don't trust anyone you trust for the time being. No matter what, don't leave."
Aunt Dorothy looked anxious. I tried to comfort her, but it only made her situation worse.
"I think it's my fault." Her dark eyes were full of self-reproach. "I shouldn't have peeped into your fate that day, child. Every time I try to see into someone's life, fate will inevitably bring misfortune to that person. Your mother, and some old friends, all paid the price for having me pry into fate.
"This is why I rarely use the Eye of Insight. Fate is never merciful unless to reward you with a few words. However, after so many years, I've slacked off and become lazy. I was hoping for luck and rashly peeped into your fate. Now, I've really brought disaster upon you!"
Then, she looked at Heller and said sadly, "And you, my child. I don't know what fate has prepared for you next. Can you stay here obediently with your brother for the next few days? Before everything ends, before all the danger is over, protect yourself… Goddess, I will never do that again if you give me another chance!"
"Aunt Dorothy…"
We were held in her arms, and soon, hot tears dripped onto our collars.
Heller hugged her as he whispered, "I will be obedient, Aunt Dorothy. Don't worry. We will be safe, right? With you around, no danger can escape your eyes."
After Aunt Dorothy left demoralized, Lily walked out of the secret door.
"What's going on?" She asked in confusion, "Was that Master Dorothy? What about the prophecy?"
Aunt Dorothy's bloodline was an unwritten secret. The outside world only knew that she was a mixed blood of a wizard and a werewolf, and only those close to her knew that the other half of her bloodline had the power of prophecy.
Before I could say anything, Lily immediately said, "Alright, I understand. You don't have to answer me. I don't want to know secrets I shouldn't know. All in all, you and Heller might be in danger during this period, right?" 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕
We nodded.
"Alright, looks like this is the will of the heavens…" She mumbled, "Mother or Alfred have wanted to visit you these past few days, haven't they? I feared bumping into them, so I wanted to leave for a while.
"But now, since it's not safe for the two of you to stay with me, I'll stay. I can't do too much, but at least my years of wandering experience have taught me how to observe the dangers in the environment quietly.
She was not used to expressing her concern so straightforwardly. She blushed and said awkwardly, "In short, if you don't mind…"
Heller and I exchanged a smile with each other as we threw ourselves at her and gave her a big hug.
"Of course, please don't leave, Lily!" Heller chirped, "With you, I feel very reassured."
I nodded and looked at her expectantly.
Lily suddenly pushed us away and stepped back uncomfortably. She stammered, "Alright, alright, I got it! Get away from me, kids. It's hot!"
The air conditioner was clearly at the most comfortable temperature!
But a gentleman shouldn't make a woman feel awkward, so I pretended not to see Lily's red ears and curled fingers.
That night, after supper, Heller suggested watching a movie. Although he couldn't see, he could listen to the sound.
We chose a very old black-and-white comedy. Halfway through, a servant suddenly knocked on the door and said there was a delivery for me.
"A delivery?" I took it with confusion. I couldn't remember when I ordered it. I asked Lily and Heller, but they didn't remember either.
So I immediately put the package far away and asked the servant to take it away.
I recalled Aunt Dorothy's prophecy. I had a feeling that there was definitely something bad inside.
