DANIEL NEPTUNE'S POV

​​

To say I was happy would be an understatement. I was beyond ecstatic.

There were many reasons for my happiness today. Starting with how Victoria has started to trust me with the things that she doesn't even tell Alexander, how we might have a chance to save all of our mates and live happily, to how she let me kiss her forehead today and didn't repulse it.

Those were indeed the reasons, but more than that, I was happy because she said she understands. She understands that what I did in the past was only because I was blinded by love and the anxiousness to find my mate. She said it wasn’t entirely my fault that I was played and fooled by destiny and Gods like that.

Honestly, she has been the only person who has said it was okay for me to react like that, and that it wasn’t a big deal.

Something that I had been yearning to hear from someone.

I know I was falling for her. I was falling hard, and that there was no turning back now.

"The king of the dark witches, Neptune. What brings you here?" The witch friends I had been talking about asked me, bringing me out of my ecstatic land. Nodding my head at her, I placed my phone before sitting on the stool near her.

Sarah was a 1300 years old witch and was one of the witches that were naturally good at their stuff. I don’t usually respect all the witches. This witch had my respect because she was a friend of my mother apart from her strong magic.

"I am here to ask you about a source of water that I have been syringe to locate for something. You are one of the strong witches who have water as their powerful elements. Can you help me find a source of pure water where evil souls can't enter? The bed of that water is filled with crustal gems and has a flower in somewhere middle that has German engravings on it." I said whatever that Victoria told me and waited for her to answer my question, but rather than answering me, she started laughing hard.

And by laughing, I mean laughing maniacally, which I must mention that I hate a lot in these old witches.

"Can you stop laughing and tell me if you know anything? Because if you don't, then I don’t want to waste my time here." I said before picking my phone and keys.

"Hey, wait? Were you serious when you asked me this question?" Sarah asked, and I looked at her blankly to let her know I was indeed serious.

Does she think I will come this far just to have a little useless chat with her on how her kids were doing and entertain her?

"You are not serious, right? Because if you are serious, then drop this. The water you are talking about is the pure water that we teach to our kids in our witch schools. Do you understand what does that means? This is just a fantasy." Sarah said, bringing what looked like an elementary child book from the air.

"Here, see this. The chapter-4 of this book. Read the lines," She said, and I turned the book towards myself before reading the lines.

"I went there. The place that everyone had been talking about. The place that everyone thought was a rumor. The water was filled with crystals. Crystals that had the power to purify a soul. Only I was able to come here while my friends were left behind. Does that mean I have a pure soul and the evils can't enter? My friends were not evil. They just have a little bit of an off character. Walking deeper into the water bed, I saw it. The large rose, bigger than an oak tree. It was beautiful. I loved it. Maybe I can take crustal or two back to tell everyone that I saw it? Maybe that way they will that the fantasy was real?" The phrase read, making me widen my eyes.

What was this all about? The phrase almost mentioned the same thing that Victoria had told me. But when she returned after the dream, she was indeed drenched with water. However, it was at that time only that we discovered the water was her element. Was her drench body because of that and not because of the fantasy she was talking about?

Why things were becoming so complicated? It felt like we all have been forced into the biggest maze in the world, and there is only one way to go out of here that is impossible to find.

"Can we stop by here for some hours? My mate, I mean my friend and I wanted to take some rest before we head towards our destination." I said, looking at the book apprehensively.

"Sure, Daniel. Who can deny the witch king anyways? You and Victoria are welcomed here." Sarah said, her words catching my attention.

"How do you know that the person I am talking about is Victoria? What else do you know?" I asked, and the smile that she threw towards me was both creepy and weird.

"I know a lot, Daniel. Starting with how you are taking her to the Vampire's kingdom to how she had killed a werewolf just now." She said, making me squint my eyes.

"And what a painful death she gave him. Looks like a demon to me." She said before disappearing into thin air.

I wanted to know where she has been gaining this information from, but I had more pressing matters on my hand right now.

Like what death was she talking about?

Teleporting myself back to where I had left her, I looked around Panicked when I didn't found her standing where I had left her.

Following the trail of her powers, the smell of the blood, and something dark that was lingering in the air, I almost flee my way towards where she was, and the sight that came in front of me almost made my heart slump in the pit of my stomach.

There she was, stabbing a werewolf as if her life depended on it. However, it wasn't her stabbing that made me look at her with panic. It was the psychotic look that passed through her eyes when she kept stabbing the man again and again.

She had stabbed the person to an extent that I could practically see his guts.

If the earlier scene was considered to be a shocking one, the next thing she did had my heart.

Lifting her hands, she inhaled them before licking the blood off her hands.

It was a haunting sight, and no matter how much I have killed in past, this was disgusting even to me.

As if something inside her snapped, she suddenly started shouting that she didn't do it. That she can't do something like this. That she can't kill someone like this.

Stepping forward, I started walking towards her, wanting to console her as I could see that she was losing her mind and beating herself for what she did.

However, as soon as I stepped on a twig, making it break, she looked at me with those panicked eyes, and the next thing she said was something that left me both stunned and alerted.

"Madeline?" She whispered, her gaze fixated on me. I turned to look behind me and when I found no one there, I realized it was me she was calling Madeline.

"I am not Madeline, Victoria. Look carefully, I am Neptune." I tried, but her gaze was enough to tell me that she was still thinking I was Madeline.

“What the hell do you want from me, Madeline?!!” She shouted at me, and I know she was losing it because of her powers.

Chanting a spell, I tried to erase her memory of what happened just now before knocking her out.

I am sorry, Victoria. As much as I wanted to make it less painful, even I as a king have some liabilities. I muttered before I cast a cleaning spell on her and took her in my arms.

Things just keep getting worse, and even if we all are kings of our respective species, we were still helplessly running behind things to get a single clue on how to solve this problem.
