Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

366-Give Up The Powers

She had tied me to a bed in one of the rooms. I could not tell what room it was, nor do I remember which floor.

All I could think of was my body and how numb it was.

"I am preparing everything,” she whispered to herself. "It is the only way to make things right," she hyped herself, placing the candles around the bed and then straightening her back.

"The midnight will arrive in a few hours," she finally spoke to me, "Try opening your mouth. I want to hear your last thoughts," she said, smiling through some sort of pain. Her eyes were watery the whole time she was preparing for whatever sick game she had in her mind.

"Wh—y are —you doing this?" It was true; I was able to speak, but my tongue felt too heavy. It was useless to speak to someone who I knew wouldn't tell me the exact truth. But I still tried.

"Well, for starters!" She stood in front of the bed and mumbled, "You don't deserve this life," she said.

"By that, I don't mean the harshness these powers brought you. What I truly mean is that the blessings you receive are not what you deserve. Your mother was an evil witch, Enya! she was a horrible person," she sighed as she spoke about my mother.

over all the powers of the ancestors. She was supposed to inherit them and then keep them safe for the next witches that were going to complete the coven. Your mother was supposed to transfer the powers to them and keep a fair share for herself. The process needed virgin witches. Well, to be honest, your mother was never the first choice. Everybody wanted Emelia to be that witch, but she got kicked out for mating with a werewolf. Thanks to your mother, she planned her fall perfectly, and Emelia fell for it. Then your mother was given the opportunity to inherit the powers, which she did. Little did we know, she lied about being a virgin. The moment she took the powers; she began to feel pain. She was supposed to give the powers back, but she denied it. The ancestors were already angry, and then your mother fled with their powers. She caused turmoil in our coven. We suffered the wrath of the ancestors while your mother built a life for herself in the werewolf land. She then did what the ancestors feared the most. She used sacred magic to help the werewolves, who were our biggest enemies.
