Diannah's Pov:-
I glanced at Gabriel, who was reading the book not bothering to glance at us, "Diannah, Please sit down," Eira requested, "Let me explain everything clearly," She said with a pleading expression on her face.
I sighed and sat down, "Have you ever heard about soul mates?" She asked,
"Yeah, Werewolves' mates... Right? " I replied,
"Yeah… Wizards usually don't have mates, but there's a prophecy… on the upcoming war… this prophecy claims that you are my brother's soul mate… and you both have a crucial part in it… if you both… doesn't mate or accept the mate bond… one of may die," she said,
Hearing her words, my eyes widened in shock, "What?" I yelled in shock, "But… Am a human, I heard mates have to be of the same race!" I said while glancing at Gabriel,
"No… Mates can be of any race dear... and…" She hesitated while glancing at Geralt and Gabriel,
"You… are not human…" She said, "Although we are not sure what you are… you are not human," She added,
"What do you mean I'm not human," I asked, surprised at her words, "I was born to humans, both my parents are humans…" I said while looking at her.
"Your parents are not your biological parents… they adopted you," She said, "I know it's hard to believe all this, Diannah…" I cut her off, "Yes, it is… All this is very hard to believe… Do you understand, You people literally kidnapped me from my home and… telling me that I'm not human… my parents aren't my biological parents… How should I believe you!" I almost yelled in frustration.
"Cut the crap and let me go… I don't want to stay here and listen to your bullshit…" All of a sudden she grabbed my arm, the contact has sent an electric jolt all over my body and shut me up. My breathing stopped for a sec and I was no longer in the study room, I was standing in a room filled with hospital cribs and babies inside them. I looked around and no one other than me was present in the room.
What's happening? Where am I? I thought while looking around,
All of a sudden I heard footsteps coming from outside, I turned around and watched a young couple walking inside the room with a doctor, who was leading them. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but as they walked closer I recognised them. It's mom and dad, they looked younger. I don't know what that Doctor said, but it made them happy, they walked past me as if I was not present at all.
Why couldn't they see me? I thought as I watched them walking past me,
The doctor led them towards a crib which was placed at the corner of the room, I followed them curiously and looked at the peacefully sleeping baby, who was wrapped in white fabric. She looked like a tiny angel while sleeping,
Oh my goodness! She's so beautiful I thought while staring at the baby.
I glanced at the doctor and saw him, pointing at the nameplate which was attached to the front side of the crib, I looked at it and saw my name printed on it.
Diannah Valeron, I widened my eyes as I read it.
It's true! Mom and dad adopted me! I thought as I watched mom carrying me and walking out of the room.
I blinked and I was back, I looked around and saw that I was back in the study room with Eira, Geralt and Gabriel. I glanced at Eira and saw her staring at my face,
"I wasn't lying," She said, "You're not human," she added.
I was adopted! Why did Mom and Dad never let me know about this? Why did they hide it from me? There were a lot of questions running inside my head and I needed answers.
"Maybe they did it for a reason!" Diesel replied,
I looked at him, "They might have forgotten about the adoption and raised you as their own," he replied while glancing at Gabriel with adoration in his eyes.
"Humans are greatly emotional," he commented while looking back at Eira,
"If… I'm not human then… Who am I?" I asked, staring into space with tons of questions running in my head, my head was aching as it was about to explode with all this information.
"That's what we have to find out?" Geralt replied,
"How?" I asked, glancing at him,
"I think you need to rest for a while… you need time to process all this information," Eira said, "Till then we will find a way," She added, "I'll ask Adora to show you around," She said.
I nodded my head and stood up from the chair, "If you don't mind... Will you take him with you? " She asked while lifting Diesel in her arms and giving him to me,
"Sure," I replied while taking him from her.
"Bye," He said to them while I turned around and began walking towards the door. I opened it and stepped out while closing it behind.
"So, what do you think?" he said while I was walking to my room.
"About what?" I asked,
"The mate thing?" he said while looking at me with those big eyes.
"You know, For a puppy, you talk too much," I said with a hint of irritation while rolling my eyes,
"Don't puppies talk in your realm?" he asked innocently,
"No, Animals don't talk on earth," I replied.
"Oh," He said and suddenly went silent.

As I was walking down the hallway, I saw Adora coming out of her room, "Adora," I called, she stopped and turned towards me and smiled as she saw me.
"Here," I handed Diesel to her as soon as I reached her, "Oh!" She took him, "Did he irritate you?" she chuckled while holding him while stroking his head.
"No," He replied instead of me, "I was just asking her a question," he said while glancing at her, "Put me down," He said while wiggling in her arms.
"Okay, Okay," She replied and put him on the ground, as She put him down he ran away.
"Get ready, We are going out," She said,
"Where?" I asked with rising curiosity,
"Princess Eira asked me to show you our kingdom," She replied, "There are plenty of beautiful places… I'm sure you'll love them," she said with excitement on her face, "Come," she grabbed my arm and began pulling me with her.
She opened the door of my room and pulled me inside, "Let's select a dress," she said while walking towards the walk-in closet, she walked to the wardrobe and opened it. I followed her and gasped when I saw tons of clothes hanging inside.
"Jesus," I whispered while I stared at them, they're so fancy and far more stylish than on earth.
"We are extremely picky when it comes to fashion," she commented while going through the dresses, "I can see that," I replied with my mouth wide open and eyes wide.
"Yep, this will look great on you," She said while grabbing a dress and putting it on me.
It was a full sleeve, off-shoulder black and green dress, it had an A-line V-neck "Go change it," she said while pushing me into the changing room.
I stripped down and wore the dress, I pulled the back zip up. I walked back to her, "Adora," I called, she stopped searching for the right shoes and turned back.
"Wow, You look beautiful in this," she complimented, While pulling me towards the big mirror, I looked at the reflection in awe. I do look beautiful in this dress, it fitted my curves perfectly and the neckline was pretty awesome. I sat quietly watching her reflection as she did my hair and natural makeup,
"Now you're ready," she said while stepping back.
I smiled at her and stood up from the chair, "Let's go," she said and I followed her.
We walked out of my room and were strolling through the never-ending hallway, "Let me show our palace first, and after that, I will take you to the Scrum," She said with excitement evident in her voice.
"Scrum?" I asked, confused,
"It's a… What do you say… giant market place," she said, "It has every single thing for people's needs, it is always crowded but you will love it, " she replied, I just nodded my head.
As we reached the stairs, Eira followed by Geralt and Gabriel were walking towards us. Their eyes landed on me, "You look, lovely dear," Eira said while pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, I just smiled at her.
All of a sudden I got a chilly feeling all over my body, goosebumps rose up as I felt piercing eyes on me. It was strange and I never felt this way before, My breathing became unstable and my palms began to sweat.
Eira, Adora and Geralt were busy talking to notice my condition, Jesus what's happening to me? I thought as I tried to look everywhere but at a certain man standing beside me, whose aura was making my legs go jelly. I could feel the heat radiating from his body and it was becoming unbearable for me.
Gabriel was standing too close to me, suddenly his long and soft finger brushed against my bare thigh. A small gasp left my lips as he began to move it upwards extremely slowly, I swallowed hard and tried to control myself but I couldn't. His small contact was somehow turning me on and it was shocking me to see my body so damn responsive to his touch.
With shaky breathing and hand, I grabbed his finger and pushed it away from my thigh. I glanced back at him and saw the corner of his lips moving upwards.
Oh, Jesus, I have to stay away from this guy! Far away!
