Page 27 of His Sold Fated Mate

We headed down a hallway and into a small room that was set up like an office. There were two desks facing different walls and a round table in the middle of the room. Books were piling up on the table and all over the floor. There was paper everywhere, and the room smelled like ink mixed with something I couldn’t put my finger on.

“Victoria.” Elize chirped as we stepped inside. An older woman who was sitting at one of the desks turned. She had white hair and a sweet face. “I have Aubrey with me. She’s here to see if we can unlock her magic.”

Victoria gave me a big grin. “Of course! It’s lovely to meet you, Aubrey.”

“You guys have a lot of books in here.”

They both nodded. “We recently unloaded all of the books from our old healing center. We haven’t gotten to an agreement on how we want to catalog them. I want to go by Alphabet, but Elize wants to go by Genre.”

“It would be easier when we are in a hurry.”

“Yes, it would be easier when we are in a hurry to go by alphabet.”

“Alright, we aren’t going to argue about this right now,” Elize added. “Do you have time to help with this?”

“Of course. Take her to room four so we can have some privacy. “

Elize and I continued down a hallway until we pushed open a door. It was a simple room with a smaller table and a couple of chairs. There were stacks of papers and test tubes next to them. The room smelled of disinfection.

I sat down, and Elize moved around with a skip in her step. “Alright. We are going to try a few spells first. Hopefully, we can get something to come out.”

I nodded. “Is it going to hurt?”

Elize shook her head. “No, but you might feel some tingling. Everyone is a little different.”

Victoria joined us a few minutes later, popping a book onto the table. “Alright, let’s begin.”

After a couple of hours of nothing happening, we decided to call it a day. I still had a drive home, and they had patients they needed to help. The car ride back with Julia was awkward, but I at least had Eliza’s number now so I could text her. I didn’t think I could stomach being stuck with Julia in a car another day, so Elize and Victoria agreed to come down every other time until we could finally come to a conclusion. They said it would take a few different tactics since their first idea hadn’t worked.

Over the course of a couple of weeks, we worked. Victoria tried using spells to pull my magic out, which showed nothing. Elize was looking in every book they owned to see if there was some way to unlock someone’s magic. Victoria even suggested looking through my body to see if she could pinpoint where the magic was.

I found myself growing physically and mentally exhausted every time they were there. I was trying to pull it out and focus. Even when they weren’t around, I was trying to see what I could learn. We went into the woods because we hoped being in nature would help, but it hadn’t. We spent some time in the library trying to see if our pack had any books they didn’t.

We were outside in the backyard today, and Victoria grew a circle. “Alright, this is my last attempt. We are going to place you in a bubble, and Elize and I will use our magic to search you. It should be able to detect it.

I nodded, feeling like I’d been pulled every which way. I was starting to lose hope that this would work.

“Shoot, I forgot the book in the car.”

“I can grab it,” Elize said.

Victoria shook her head. “No, I have it. You two stay here.”

Victoria rounded the house, and Elize softly smiled. She turned to me. “We will get there.”

I sighed. “I feel like a lump of clay that won’t form.”

Elize snorted and nodded her head. “Oh, trust me. I understand the feeling. I thought I was going insane until it all clicked.”

I tilted my head. “How did it click? I’ve been meaning to ask you. When did you magic and everything just seem to finally make sense?”

“I think it takes time. Just getting to know each other’s bodies and an orgasm helps.”

My hands paused, and my eyes widened. I looked at her, but she kept talking, staring at the sky. “They say sex is the trigger, but I think it’s more than just sex. I think it’s the internal connection. Like your minds and your souls finally know that you are meant to be together. I thought it was insane at first, too, but now that I think back, they were right. When we finally stopped fighting the feelings and just accepted it. Welcomed each other in, it all just felt right. It clicked.”

I waved a hand. “I’m sorry, what?”

Elize looked at me and froze. Her face fell. “Did… did Klaus not tell you that?”
