Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 14

CARLYLE’S POV

The Talican was like an ancient tree that can be found in the Canthrastra region only. It was said to be the root of their emergence but no one knows how true the story was except themselves. However, every supernatural being at that time had come together to put them behind this world forever. They didn’t give other people the chance to find out more about their being.

The elderly supernaturals back then had sealed them in Aridah, a very dry space, far away from every other being. Everything they were going to do would be within that space only without interrupting or interacting with anyone. A region that was always referred to as; ‘Aridah, a space between the living dead.”

After sealing them, the elders went ahead to burn down the Talican completely with the aid of the three supernatural elements that comprises the Canthrastras; the werewolf, vampiras, and the sirens. And it was nowhere in existence since then.

“Where and how did you get this?” It left this world a while back. “Alpha Rex was still full of surprise.

“Yes, it did. And now, it’s back. That piece was found at the spot where the last sign was drawn. Seems like it fell off the person that drew it or it could be that it was left there on purpose. Whichever way, it’s obvious that the Canthrastras are back and they are making sure they do everything in their power to leave the seal. They want to leave. Aridah and you know what that means to all of us.” I explained. Dating to decades back, the Canthrastras had been an irresistible force to us and they seemed so powerful and undefeatable.

“If they should come back, it means we’re back to square one. And when they are back, we won’t be able to avoid what the elders were trying to avoid back then even if we aren’t that sure of what it is exactly”

“You’re right since you know what I’m here for, let’s proceed.”

“How can I help you and what part am I to play in it?” Alpha Rex asked. Finally! Exactly what I was expecting from him but I knew right away that he wasn’t going to ask right away as he has always been wary of me due to the struggles and rivalry between us.

“Wait, but how did you know that this piece of wood is a piece of the Talican?” His brows furrowed as he stared at me with questioning eyes.

“You can check it out yourself, Alpha Rex. We all know there’s a legend about it. The legend says whenever ivis burnt together with the power of a witch, the Talican is going to emit a bluish–greenish flame. I tested for it and I brought out just that.”
