Chapter 144

“Are you sure you won’t grow bored of me if I drink from the well?” I ask Lucas with a gleam in my eye. I already know my own mate could never get bored of me, but I would like to hear him say it.

“Bored? Oh, come here, you!” Lucas pulls me into his arms, his heart, and chest right in my face as he hugs my smaller form. His fingers gently trace my back, stirring a familiar warmth in my chest. “I wouldn’t have taken you here if I didn’t want to share my life force with you, you know that, right?”

I smile into his chest. “Are you sure you want me to stay this age forever, though?”

He pulls back to look at me then. “For me, it doesn’t matter, but what’s important is what you want. Do you want to age a little before drinking from the well, or are you ready to stop aging here and now?”

I don’t have to think about my answer. It doesn’t seem like my sister is aging anymore, and I kind of want to stay close to her age. I also wouldn’t want to be older than my own Mom. It feels right that she stopped aging later than me.

“I want to drink from the well now,” I say, knowing Irma is smiling in the background somewhere with Lucas‘ parents and mine, who have all already had a taste of the magical water.

“Good,” Lucas grins and picks up his backpack from the ground, handing me a cup. “Fill it up and drink.”

I take the cup in my hand, feeling its lightness. I turn to face the well, its shimmering surface pulsating with an energy that’s both ancient and timeless.
