Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 39- Amara

“Fine then.” She said taking a seat on a pouf. Dad sat beside her on a similar poof. Where did it come

from though? I don’t remember seeing it there. “The spirit walkers are very powerful beings. We are

practically human before we come of age. That is at the age of eighteen. When the last known spirit

walker was being hunted for her powers, she decided to go into hiding. Her mate had already cheated

on her so she didn’t had anyone to go back to. She went into hiding for around thousand years.

When she came out of hiding, the world had forgotten about the spirit walkers and as she never mated

to anyone, their was no heir, keeping her alive all these years. While roaming the world she met the

wolf spirits. The protectors of the forest. They were dying out though. She helped them by restoring

their health. She also helped around the village that was living near the woods. They knew her as the

spirit goddess.

Her ex mate was a demon. When he came to know about her powers, he became greedy and wanted

her back. He was still keeping an eye out for her. He found her in the woods but he couldn’t see the

spirits. When the time to protect their protector came, the wolf spirits decided to merge with the strong

males of the settlement, leaving one behind to reproduce the lost number. Her magic helped them to

merge without complication and the shifters were born.

The demons weren’t expecting that and they lost. Every single one of them were slaughtered to keep

the secret. She killed her demon mate with the help of the Alpha spirit. She stayed there till the spirit

wolves had multiplied and the shifters were without threat. While roaming the world she found her

second chance. A warlock. They mated and the second Spirit Walker was born. Their third born

daughter. The first two sons were warlocks.

She trained her in secret. She told everyone that their daughter had died during birth. The daughter

was forbidden to tell anyone about her heritage. When she was sixteen, she found her mate, a vampire

lord. He was cruel and a man whore.” Mom had a very bitter expression on her face. “He didn’t want a

human mate so he cheated on her. She heard him talking to one of his ministers about spirit walker.

She knew then, she shouldn’t stay there. She ran away with the help of a vampire princess, Elizabeth

Astely.”

Steven gasped. Cassidy and Austin were looking at mom with wide disbelieving eyes.

“The princess was already married to her mate then. She also had a boy. He was a teen at that time.”

Mom continued. “Elizabeth helped her hide in a coven of her friend in Britain. The coven didn’t knew

about her hiding there other than the leaders. The monster annihilated Elizabeth’s coven for hiding the

spirit walker but he didn’t knew it was his own mate. The spirit walker helped Elizabeth’s son to escape

and removed his memories of her on Elizabeth’s last request.”

Steven’s hold on me had tightened painfully.

“Her ex mate didn’t stop their. He destroyed Elizabeth’s friend’s coven as well. Till then they had moved

the Spirit Wlker somewhere else. With them gone, nobody knew about the spirit walker’s identity. The

trail was lost. She met her second chance after more than two hundred years. A human. She was

becoming a human after mating with him. They had a son but there were a couple complications in the

pregnancy and she couldn’t give birth anymore as her healing was reduced to bare minimum.

She knew a spirit walker is always a female. Baffled with the events she contacted her mother in the

spirit realm. The mother explained to her about the soul splitting. Two months later she met her heir.

The unwanted child of her husband’s younger brother. My ex mate is still searching for the spirit walker.

The same vampire you guys are talking about, Vincent Clifford.” Mom finished looking at me.

No one moved or talked in the room. I can tell everyone was beyond shocked. Steven, Austin and

Cassidy must be hating me after hearing all this. Because of a spirit walker two boys lost their parents

and an entire coven was killed. Cassidy lost her best friend. Will they treat me the same after knowing

this? Their grief is because of my mother. Because of my kind.

“Why does he want a spirit walker?” Leo asked breaking the silence.

“Mating with a spirit walker gives you a certain protection and power. The mate can’t be killed unless

the spirit walker dies which is a very hard task after she had attained her full power. That is come of

age. The mate heals with an immense speed. Their present abilities enhances ten folds. The spirit

walker on the other hand evolves to what her mate is. Just like I became a human completely after

Amara came of age. I still have my powers but my durability is of a human. In short if the mate already

has enhanced abilities then after mating with the spirit walker it will sky rocket. That bastard will be

invincible.” She said gritting her teeth.

Steven growled behind me and buried his nose in the crook of my neck.

“But she is already mated.” Cassidy said.

“He doesn’t know that.” Mom said smirking. “We can hide the marks on their necks for now. We will let

him think that she isn’t marked yet. He won’t be able to kill Steven anyways. We spirit walkers destroy

anything and anyone who hurts our mate or our loved ones.” Mom said smugly.

“Every mate is like that.” Carter said confused.

“Yes they are but we are actually capable of doing that.” She said looking at dad with goofy eyes.

Nope. Don’t want to see that.

“So what do we do now?” Leo asked. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Wait for them to come and fight for our land.” Mom said with finality.

Our land? Why did she say that?

“Mom what if they come early and we are not prepared?” I asked.

“The spirit alpha will let us know about it, won’t he?” She asked.

“How the hell did you know that?” I asked.

“Language young lady.” She scolded making me pout. “Why wouldn’t I know about it? I am a spirit

walker after all. Besides I granted you your wolf. The previous alpha knows about me and you from that

moment.”

“WHAT?” I shouted in shock.

“I did tell you earlier that the wolf spirit is merged with the human by the Spirit Walker. He asked me

permission and I granted it. I was quite taken back by his love for you. Alas! Who am I to stop him? He

wanted to be your wolf and I made it possible. Besides, now we have an advantage over the attackers.

He trained you quite well. The spirit walker they want is not even defenseless now beside being coming

of age just a few days ago. I think he had an inclining of what you are. Maybe that’s why he

encouraged you to learn about spirit powers and healing.” She explained. “You will be looking after the

spirit wolves after this is over. I am retiring.” She said stretching. “I was going to try to continue my job

till you graduated from college but my human body can’t keep up anymore with this. It takes a lot of

energy to merge a spirit with its human. I don’t think I will be able to do that.”

“Mom! That is so unfair.” I said pouting.

“Life is not fair sweet heart. Your mother and I are going on a vacation from here.” Dad said grinning at

me.

“What? You are not taking us with you?” Alec asked.

“Nope.” Mom said folding her hands on her chest.

That’s her no argument pose. She then opened her arms for us to hug and Alec and I ran to her like

toddlers running to their parents. She hugged the life out of us and so did dad.

“Now shoo. Go cuddle your own mates and give me back mine.” Mum shooed us away as we were

taking too long with dad.

Daddy pulled her on his lap after we let him go. Those two are just perfect together. We went back to

our respective mates to ‘cuddle as instructed’ by our mother. Steven was too quiet all this time and so

was Austin. There must be a lot going on in their minds.
