Chapter 206: Call
Master
"Give it a try dearest" Celeste intoned. "Your one hour is almost up"
I took a step forward stretching my hand forward and closing my eyes. I should think of it, feel it, I should also rember the connection I had with Nicklaus to sense his study.
I took a deep breath. "Imagine..." I whispered to myself, cracking my neck. I felt absolutely nothing and it was egging .
I felt Alaric’s hand on my shoulder. "Don’t give up yet, feel it from deep inside you" his voice guided . "Sothing gleaming and sothing certain"
I took a deep breath, my eyes remained close and I tried to focus as Alaric told
to, I searched deep and I saw a dim light within.
"Can you feel or see it?"
"Yes"
"Good, now reach for it"
I gasped, opening my golden orbs which I was certain glead. Before
was now a portal.
"You did it," Celeste said with a smile on her lips.
"I did it!" I said excitedly facing Alaric but his looks puzzled . "Are you okay?" I asked worried, noticing how the purple highlight in his eyes seed to wave.
"Y-Yes," he said with a forced smile. But it didn’t sound convincing, I was about to speak.
"You should go on now, portals don’t open for long"
I stroke a nod facing the portal and stepping within it.

Alaric orbs watch as the portal closes but Yelena seed to take a look at him before it did, but he quickly looked away feeling unsettled. The portal vanished.
"Alaric, what’s wrong?" Celeste asked in a worried tone, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I don’t know what is wrong with " he whispered, closing his eyes and his hands balled in a fist and his jaw tightened.
"What do you an Alaric?"
He faces Celeste with confusion written all over his face. "My damn beast fell silent again"
Celeste’s eyes went wide. "What?!"
"The first ti I overlooked it because it was a mistake, so why did it happen again?!" he ran his fingers in his hair, frustrated. He understood it and he didn’t accept it, why was this happening to ? Not once but twice now?
"T-There must be an explanation, maybe it was a mistake or"
"It happened twice Celeste!" he snapped at her and she could see the confusion, anger, and sadness swirling in his features. She wanted nothing more than to take it away but she didn’t know how to.
"I felt this deep connection, I don’t know Celeste I can’t explain it"
"I understand but what I don’t get is why Yelena, she’s not your mate brother, then why are you feeling all this"
"Don’t you think I would know if I had an answer?"
She took his hand, hoping to reassure him everything would be okay but for what?
Alaric’s confused gaze still settled on where the portal vanished from, the feeling was deep this ti and more profound and that scared him.
"Alaric," Celeste said with worried features.
"I’m fine," he said in a ragged whisper before taking his hand off Celeste’s hold and whirling to walk away, pulling so strand of his dark hair that fell on his face behind, he knew exactly what he had to do to quench this forbidden feeling.

I stepped out of the portal into the all too familiar lobby, my mind still lingered on Alaric’s troubled gaze, I was worried, but I knew I could only ask him properly about it when I get back, so I chose to focus on my training with Nicklaus. I sauntered the hall, making a turn and his study hall ca into view.
"You are a minute late" Nicklaus’ luscious voice caught
and I was forced to look at him, my breath seem to only catch as I gazed upon him on the couch, leaning against it, his elbow against the arm of the couch, his fingers pressing against his lips, his other hand stretched out resting on the other arm, but his palm tilted up and swirling in the dark and green aura in a mix swirling around his dark Grimoire which floated just above his palm.
I gulped, the re sound echoing in my ears, the look he gave
was firm and strong, like a master looking at his student.
"Co closer" he states, I resisted the ways his words made
feel and tried to concentrate as I stride towards him in slow steps until I was finally before him.
"Master," I said hoping to get a reaction from him but he didn’t seem to flinch.
The Grimore shut close.
"Good," He said in a stern voice that I didn’t even recognize, my eyes narrowed in question. "Because right here right now... I’m your master, not your husband"
I blinked and then I folded my arms. "Okay, master" I stated, and yet no reaction from him, but still I held my ground. "What is my first lesson?"
He hoists to his feet, his Grimore levitating back to the stance. "The basics," he said walking around
as if inspecting
and I only seem nervous now.
"Basic?"
"Yes"
He was behind
now. "As of now you don’t understand magic, tell
Yelena... how did you manage to get here?" he closed the distance behind
and I could feel the cold feel of his body against mine but I welcod it with my heat.
"A help from Alaric and Celeste"
"And what did you learn?"
I took a minute. "That... magic is deep within, I just have to find it"
"Good"
I closed my eyes because this ti he spoke just in my ears, and I loved the feel of it.
"Magic is deep within as you ntioned" his hand moved to my arm sliding through it, the movent caused my body to stir against his, I’m sure he felt it too but seems like my lovely Husband was playing master right now.
"A deep glow that can be forged into anything
