Chapter 186
Daniel sighed as he listened to what Zane had to say through the mind link and at that moment, Levi barged into the room.
[I don’t think I feel comfortable leaving Heather all by herself, she’s pregnant too] He mind linked back.
[Please just do this, you’ll be back immediately] Daniel sighed as he turned to Levi.
“I heard you want to go find Anastasia,” Levi nodded.
“Kiara needs her right now and she’s taking too long. We need to know if she can do it or not so we’ll look for another option” Daniel ran his fingers through his hair as he glanced at Heather who was staring at them with curious eyes.
“I don’t think I can leave Heather here all by herself,” Daniel muttered.
“Of course you can and I won’t be alone. One of the nurses will come watch over me” Daniel frowned.
“But I don’t trust them. What if they don’t attend to your needs properly?” Heather sighed.
“Daniel, this has to do with Kiara and if you helping Levi to find Anastasia is going to do Kiara any good then you have to find her” Daniel sighed.
“You don’t have to follow me to search for Anastasia. I just need to know the Coven and I’ll do the rest from there” Daniel sighed.
“Okay but we need to be quick. I’ll have a nurse come in here to be with you and she won’t be allowed to leave your side” Daniel muttered, earning a smile from Heather.
“Anything you want. Just help Kiara” Daniel nodded then turned to Levi.
“Let’s go then”

“So why are you doing this again?” Daniel questioned as he drove Levi to the coven.
“Isn’t it obvious? I want to help Kiara and maybe sort of lift the burden off Zane. They have both been kind of down lately and as much as I hate them being lovey dovey with each other, I’d prefer that over them being this way any day” Levi muttered earning him a smile from Daniel.
“Who would have thought you would actually care for Zane? Aren’t you in love with Kiara anymore?” Levi rolled his eyes.
“See, I’m not a monster, okay? I love Kiara and that’s why I’m willing to help but I can also notice when someone else is suffering as well. Zane is not a bad guy, it would have been easier to hate him but he really isn’t and he makes Kiara happy and that’s all that matters to me. I’ll find love one day but obviously, it isn’t with Kiara” Levi sighed sadly as he stared out the window.
He didn’t want to admit it but right from the start, he knew Kiara was never going to be his because it was obvious her heart yearned for another but he kept holding on to hope, hoping a miracle would happen and she’d eventually fall in love with him but he should have known better.
It was hard to fall out of love with one’s first true love and that was something he was going to have to get over If he ever intended on loving someone else.
“I know your intentions mean well, it has always meant well. Just don’t get to be Zane’s best friend, alright? He’s my best friend and I don’t like sharing” Levi chuckled.
“We are far from friends. He hasn’t even accepted that he’s my cousin yet” Daniel smiled.
“He has. He has acknowledged you already, he just doesn’t want to admit it and don’t expect him to because he’s never going to say it out loud” Levi chuckled.
“I’ll make him say it out loud”
“Good luck”
They arrived at the coven soon after and Levi wasn’t surprised that the coven was in the wolves. In most witches’ folktales, they were in the woods.
“So where are they?” Levi questioned as he glanced around. All there was were trees and greenery.
“Patience is a virtue” Daniel muttered as he walked towards a huge tree, the biggest tree Levi had ever seen, and gave it a slight knock.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Levi questioned as he stared at him with confusion written on his face.
Before Daniel could say anything, a door suddenly appeared on the tree, startling Levi and making him scream like a child.
“Gosh, I’m never going to get used to this supernatural stuff” Levi muttered as he placed his hands on his knees while breathing heavily.
Daniel chuckled at his reaction.
“You better because I have a feeling you’re going to get intertwined with the supernatural world” Daniel uttered before opening the door and walking in.
Levi sighed before following behind him. What he saw wasn’t what he expected at all.
“This place is beautiful” Levi uttered as he glanced around. It was like mother nature took her time here.
All the grasses, even the tree leaves were greener than usual and everything was covered with the green leaves. The place looked like a place straight out of a kid’s storybook.
“The witches take pride in the environment so don’t believe in those folktales that call them dirty. Let’s go to the Queen mother, I need to hurry back” Daniel uttered but before they could take another step, a woman appeared in front of them.
“No need. I know why you’re here and I was about to come ask Zane for his help but I’m glad you’re both here” Levi and Daniel glanced at one another before Daniel sighed.
He was never going to get to Heather on time at this rate.
Kiara groaned slightly with her eyes closed as she suddenly began to feel uncomfortable. She could feel an arm around her so she knew Zane was right beside her.
She tried to ignore it but then a sharp pain shot through her stomach, making her cry out so loud.
Her eyes immediately flew open and at the same time, Zane woke up, staring down her with worry in his eyes.
“Kiara?” He called out her name as he held her closer firmly.
“It’s happening again, Zane. It hurts, it hurts so badly” She muttered as she flailed around in his arms while he tried to calm her down.
“Kiara, just calm down, okay? Try to breathe, it’s going to pass, just breathe” She shook her head frantically as tears ran down her cheeks.
“I can’t do it Zane, it hurts too much” His heart ached at how much pain was in her voice. He wanted nothing more than to give her the pill to calm her down but it wasn’t good for her and she needed to learn how to endure the pain.
“It’s going to be okay. Just squeeze my hand as tight as you wish, inflict any kind of pain on me and I’ll take it” He murmured softly into her ear as she grabbed onto his hand and dug her fingers into it while she groaned.
“Zane” He grabbed her face and began caressing her hair.
“It’s going to be okay. You can scream as much as you want and you can cry as much as you want, I’m the only one here so let it out, okay? It’s going to pass” He murmured as he caressed her hair lovingly while she continuously dug her nails into his hand. Even though he was bleeding because of that, he didn’t stop soothing her because he knew the pain he felt didn’t amount to hers and that’s what he hated.
“It’s going to be okay, just keep breathing” He murmured as he kissed away her tears.
After a while, he noticed she was starting to calm down and he smiled.
“See? I told you you could do it” He muttered as happy tears fell down his cheeks. He placed a long kiss on her lips before wrapping his arms around her.
“I did it, Zane. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore” She murmured as she cried on his chest.
“Yes, you did my love” He placed a kiss on her cheeks then pulled back a little to stare at her face.
“I hurt your hand. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…”
“Shhh, all that matters now is that you did it, my strong woman and I’m so proud of you”…
