SWNOVELS Chapter 65
Rain pov.
My mate disappears from where she was tucked under my arm, and I look over at the only other Fledgling in the room with a murderous glare. Reaching out for her through our bond makes me hit a wall and growl that fills the room makes the windows shake.
"Bring her back, right now!" I demand and his stupid smile widens.
"I can't. She'll have to come back on her own." I'm in front of him with my hand wrapped around his neck within seconds. "You kill me, you lose her forever." He tells me and so I do the next best thing and toss him against the wall so hard it cracks when his body hits it.
"Magnus, stop joking and bring her back. She can be a bit much but she's young and she's hurt." Benjamin comes to Morgan's defense and while I appreciate it I know her actions have nothing to do with being young and hurt. She's lost her trust in each and every one of them and they don't want to admit it to themselves.
"She's also the best chance we have at winning this war." Luca says and Magnus's left eye twitches.
"Fuck your war. Bring back my mate now!" I glare at him, and he sighs.
"You don't understand. There is no way for me to bring her back. I placed her in a prism. The only person who can bring Morgan back is Morgan herself." He explains and Isa lets out an agonizing sound.
"Tell me you're joking." The Fairie rages, her wings turning a concerning color deep red, something I've never seen them do before.
"I'm afraid not." Magnus says, looking a little unsure of himself at the Fairies reaction.
"What does that mean?" Agness beats me in asking the question.
"A prism is a prison for disobedient Fairies. They're locked in there and left a series of clues to help them get out but it's not obvious and it's a grueling process. You're all alone, watching the days pass as you try and figure out what the person locking you in there wants you to learn but some Fairies never come back. I took two years to escape from my own prism and I didn't even do anything bad. My parents just wanted me to know what it's like. It's the last resort for a reason." Her ice-cold glare settles on Magnus and Rain howls in the back of my mind.
"Why can't we kill him?" River asks and though I'm surprised that she's the one asking the question I can't help but be proud of her.
"He's the prism holder. If he dies, she's stuck in there forever." Isa explains, her face looks grim.

"You locked her in there because she didn't warm up to you like you expected she would? Because she didn't conform to your idea of accepting you as her father like you thought she would?" Agness asks and Ragna whistles. "You're even more fucked-up than Sinclair." The hybrid comments and I can't help but agree.
"If she's as smart as you all say she is, she'll be out in no time." He shrugs his shoulder and Isa shakes her head.
"You and I both know that's not true. You hate the girl, don't deny it, so you've probably put her at more of a disadvantage than anyone ever before. If we lose this war, it will be all your fault." Isa blinks herself away and Agness walks out of the room soon after. Magnus looks over at Benjamin, the old man having been silent since Morgan vanished. The ancient being shakes his head and then speeds out of the room. "Yeah, I'm leaving too." Ragna mutters and Luca blinks himself away as the hybrid exits the room.
"When she comes back, I won't stop her from killing you." I promise him, taking my sister's hand and leading her out of the room, leaving Magnus alone to the mess he created.

"Can you still feel your bond?" River asks after we've been walking in silence for a while. Where we are going, I have no idea, as long as I'm not in the same room as Magnus. I might just end up killing him and then I'll resent myself for the rest of my life for dooming my mate to an eternity without us being together.
"Yes, but I can't reach out to her or feel her emotions. I can just be sure I'm still bonded to her, other than that there's an unnatural quite in the space she's supposed to be in." She nods, like she understands, but I know she doesn't. "Can't she just use magic to get back here?" I shake my head.
"If she could, she would have already." My heart aches at the thought of her being all alone and not knowing how long she'll be that way. I stop in my tracks, almost sinking to my knees at the thought that she might be pregnant. "She'll be fine, she's smart." River says, running her hand up and down my back but I shake my head.
"Luca!" I call the Fairie who appears seconds later. "Get me out of here." I tell him and he doesn't waste time doing so. I'm plopped somewhere in the middle of the colorful forest that grows in the Gloss. I shift into my wolf and run until I can't anymore before letting out the most heartbreaking howl of my entire life. If I lose both Morgan and the pup that could be growing inside of her, I might as well die myself.
Somewhere in my daze of wondering I find myself back in our bedroom and I know either Isa or Luca has something to do with it but I'd honestly rather be lost in the woods than be in this room all by myself. I manage to take a shower before sinking into bed, grabbing her pillow and sniffing her scent that's still clinging to it. Images of this morning rush through my brain, how desperate she was and then the constant feeling of joy that flowed through our bond as we got ready to meet everyone for lunch. If I knew Magnus would do this shit, I would have stayed in bed like she wanted to. Would have provided her with the needs her body demanded she sustain. My heart shatters, the longing of being away from her this long starting to set in and for the first time since my parents died I cry heartbreaking sobs for the only person who can mend me.
