Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 109

As we chanted, the energy swirled through the room. I stood beside Miranda's bed as Melissa stood beside Brent's bed. The words spewed out over and over and more feverous as we pressed on. I felt heat rush through my bloodstream and suddenly I felt blind as a bright warm light escaped my body. My hearing, though, seemed to advance as I could hear, even over our chanting, what was going on outside.

I swear I heard Everest's voice on the other side. He said "What is the bright light?"

"I am unsure, your Majesty. Would you like me to check?" I recognized the voice of Doctor Howard.

"No, no. We will stay put. She isn't in any danger. I can feel her. She is just warm. She is okay." Everest told him.

Is the window open? No, hospital windows don't open, do they? I was curious as to where that breeze was coming from. I wondered why the breeze felt warm and comforting. My mind seemed to separate from my body as my thoughts wondered about the wind, and how I could hear myself still chanting. My voice sounded cold yet still strong. Melissa, on the other hand, sounded angry as the words spewed from her mouth. She was truly giving it everything she had.

Then suddenly I felt as light as a feather. What an odd sensation to feel. I wondered, no, I knew that we were both floating in the air as the chant was working. We were practically screaming as the warm breeze swirled around my body, hugging me tightly. I was still blind, that was until I saw her shadow. Our Moon Goddess, well the shadow of her. I knew it was her, without a single doubt in my mind. She reached for me. I reached for her. Our fingers touched and when they did I could feel her power.

Her power coursed through my veins, giving me everything I needed. I cradled it gently, scared to release such energy into the world. I wanted to learn how to use it properly, afraid it might rebound and strike Melissa or myself. I blinked my eyes and I could see again. What I was looking at was not the hospital room but a white room. Everything was pristine and white. I looked around and my eyes landed on her.

"Do not hold back the magic I have granted you. Release it into Miranda. When released she will wake up." She told me.

"What of Brent?" I asked her.

"He will wake up when she does. It won't be right away, it will take him a while to be fully himself. Give him an hour or so for his eyes to open. Do not be alarmed when he does not move though. All will be well." She smiled. It was a sad smile. She turned her head to the right as if she heard something.

"What is it?" I asked her, also looking in the direction she had been. I did not see nor hear anything. I looked back at her.

She let out a long sigh "I must tell you this. I told Miranda there would be a price to pay. She will never be able to have children of her own."

"What? No. She must have children." I protested. "Take that ability away from me. I have my boys. I do not need anything more." I tried my best to sacrifice myself but she only shook her head.

"To make this sacrifice happen the way you would like, I would be taking away the next heir to the Kingdom." She approached me and placed a hand on my belly. It was warm and comforting. A light shone from her hand and I frowned at her. "You are with child, my dear. I just placed protection over your womb. It will last until Miranda is awake. Please, let her know of her sacrifice."

"I, I, I am with child?" My hand went to my belly out of a protective instinct.

She smiled at me. "Yes, my dear you are. Only by a couple of weeks."
