And it didn’t take him long to spot Izaak. He was surprised to find him in the living area of the Wilson’s house. “Brother, what are you doing here?” Magnus asked. “Are you seeing the futures of these people?”
“No. But I saw something in Alora’s mother. That’s why I’m here,” Izaak stated.
“What do you mean?” Magnus was puzzled.
“She will die, Magnus,” Izaak replied.
“What? How?” He was well aware of his eldest brother’s abilities to foresee the future.
“I’m not sure. I do feel it will be because of Alora,” Izaak stated.
“You mean she will burn her,” Magnus said.
“Not exactly. It is tough to explain. I only see glimpses,” Izaak asserted.
“You’ve never seen anyone’s death before. Isn’t it strange?” Magnus raised a doubt.
“Yes. I cannot see Alora’s future. Can you read her mind?” Izaak queried.
“I can,” Magnus answered. He furrowed his brows together. “If Alora becomes the reason for her mother’s death, then she’ll never be able to cope with her loss.”
“We cannot stop anyone’s death. Humans are meant to die one day,” Izaak stated.
“But I need to make sure Alora doesn’t become the reason for her mother’s demise,” Magnus proclaimed.
Izaak smiled and shook his head. “Magnus, if we play with nature’s laws, something bigger can happen. Anyhow, you would have found out about this. That’s why I told you myself. Also, you were supposed to meet Gloria today and here you are. In a marriage. You should find out why you can look into her eyes. Also, don’t forget about the message you received.”
Magnus frowned to hear him. “Don’t you think someone doesn’t want me to be with Alora? She and I were fated.”
“And what if it was all part of someone’s plan to bring the vampires down? What if the witch, who passed such a unique ability to Alora for a bigger purpose? And you somehow fell into her trap. Have you ever thought that way?” Izaak questioned him.
“I love Alora. Even if it’s a trap, I’ll find a way to get out of it. She should not suffer just because of a power she was bestowed to her,” Magnus pronounced.
Izaak amusedly smiled to hear his response. “And I’ll have to help you since you cannot get out of this trap on your own,” he stated.
They both now returned to the garden. “Who is the man beside Alora?” Izaak asked.
“Her younger brother, Elliot Wilson,” Magnus answered.
“It seems he is sweet to his sister,” Izaak opined.
“He isn’t. Because Alora is married to me, he wants a favor. Both Venus and Elliot are selfish,” he asserted.
“Poor, Alora. She only has you who love her the most after her mother,” Izaak remarked. He stopped a servant and picked up the wine glass from the silver tray. The servant bowed to them and left.
“Don’t tell Alora about her mother’s future,” Magnus requested him. “She will stress out,” he added.
As the princes approached closer to Alora, Elliot took his leave promptly. Magnus and Izaak sat down in their seats. “The groom’s family is here,” Magnus informed her.
“How does the groom look?” Alora inquired in excitement.
“He looks good,” Magnus gave a plain response.
“Eugene is the Duke’s son. Does His Highness know Duke Benedict?” Alora inquired him.
“No,” Magnus refused.
“I know him. Benedict is the Duke of the North to look into the administration of humans and even werewolves. There were rumors that they turned into wolves,” Izaak asserted.
“There were?” Magnus arched his eyebrows.
“Yes. I know you have been away from all these matters for a long time, but you always ignore the important news. Tobias told me you didn’t even know about Alora’s eyes the day you brought her to Elmswood palace,” Izaak muttered.
“Because I never cared about all such matters,” Magnus shrugged his shoulders. “So what about the rumors? Has Benedict’s family converted to werewolves?” He inquired with a curious gaze.
“How is that possible? Father would not have given Venus’s hand to the Iverson family if he knew about it,” Alora stated.
“There were rumors. I don’t know the entire truth. There’s no werewolf scent emanating from them. So, I believe they are humans,” Izaak replied.
“They are werewolves,” Magnus said. “They have hidden the scent,” he affirmed as he read Benedict’s mind.
Both Alora and Izaak were shocked to learn that. “My sister cannot get wedded in a werewolf family. We should stop this,” Alora said.
“We should not get involved, Wife. Your sister will not believe us,” Magnus explained to her.
“But my sister will be stuck after marriage. Eugene will turn her into a werewolf. I heard they undergo a lot of pain. I don’t wish to see Venus in pain,” Alora said with a concerned expression.
“Magnus, why do you think they have hidden their scent?” Izaak asked. “It can be for a bigger reason,” he added, wondering what it could be.
“I want to see Venus. I should at least tell her the truth,” Alora asserted.
“And what if she doesn’t listen to you?” Magnus asked.
“I think she will,” Alora answered.
