***** Stella's POV *****
I watched kyle with a broken heart, when i found out that the queen was dead, i was devastated. To others, we were just a queen and her personal knight, to me she was more, she was my best friend.
When i lost my family to supernaturals, she was the only one that was there for me. Although she didn't fight along side me against them because of her unique love for them, she was there for me anytime i needed a friend.
Do you know who the father is? Kyle question broke my train of thought.
I Couldn't dig anything up about him, whoever he is, he wishes to remain hidden i replied
Do you think he is human? or a supernatural he asked
I am not sure, i don't think she possess any supernatural powers i said
Does she possess any qualities of a Hunter? He asked but i didn't reply.
I would have questioned her identity if she didn't look exactly like Clarissa he continued.
She hasn't shown any sign of being a supernatural kyle so you can't just jump into conclusions yet.
Her hair and eyes are enough proof he said standing his ground
That is not even considered a proof, humans also have red hair and green eyes i defended
Not hair as red as that, those emerald eyes are not ordinary eyes and the fact that she was born with black hair that suddenly turned red is enough proof. If she has the blood of a supernatural then she can't be queen, we might have to kill her. he said and my eyes widened in shock, this was so unlike kyle, i knew that he didn't mean all he was saying,he was just angry about the death of our queen.
You know you can't do that, you have no right. we are not even sure she has the blood of a supernatural and even if she did, she also has the blood of a hunter, She is one of us and she is the future queen i said
That's it, she cannot be queen when she possess the features and as the blood of a supernatural, people will not accept a supernatural ruling them, remember that we are sworn enemies he said
They eventually have to accept it, she didn't make this choice, so why does she have to suffer for it, all we need to do is support her through this. Who knows, she could be the one to end all these hatred between us and them. i explained
You want to make peace with those monsters? You want all this to end?
After what they did? They've killed thousands of our kind he said with a raised and i signalled him to reduce his voice.
Somehow, we've killed millions of their kind as well, Now they have a new leader, a powerful one and we have only grown weaker without a leader, we need a queen. i said
You mean the same leader i met today? Why do you think i came looking for you after 21 years, there is a new prophecy. he said with a serious face
Prophecy? who is it about? i asked
It is about the new leader of the supernaturals, he is unstable he said
What do you mean by unstable? i asked
It means that he is unable to control his powers, he is at his weakest form and the only one strong enough to help him, is his mate. he said
Has he found his mate? do you know who she is? i asked again, then i saw his eyes move to the direction of sleeping Kalypso and shook my head in disbelief
I saw the way he looked at her, i felt the connection between them, she is his mate he said standing his ground
Then maybe this is the twist we need, the leader of both clans uniting i said
Impossible, for all i know, she is not one of us, she may smell like a hunter and look a lot like clarissa, but she has no qualities of a hunter and that is enough proof that she doesn't belong here.
Now you have two choices, Let her go and let her mate find her, he can decide what to do with her or You end her quietly or i will. Either way, she will die.
That's not fair, once the masking spell fades, she will smell like a hunter, they will not accept her i said with tears threatening to drop from eyes.
This is the only way, and as your superior, you have to heed my word he said and tears dropped from my eyes
This is unfair, she has done nothing wrong i whispered as more tears dropped from my eyes.
Yes she has done nothing wrong, this is the sin of her mother but nothing else can be said or done, i know you love clarissa like a sister, and that why you've grown so close to Kalypso, but it is time to let her go, before she realizes the blank spaces in her memory and begins to ask questions. he said and stood up to leave
Give me some time to say good bye i said with a cracked voice
You have a month to do the needful, if after that time, you are still hesitant to fulfil your duties, then i will be forced to relive you of your duties as a hunter and i will kill her he said and bent down to kiss me but i tilted my head to the side.
You know that this is for the best, i'll see you tomorrow he said and then left.
I looked at Kalypso with pity, she doesn't deserve this kind of punishment, i must find a way to help her before the end of a month.
I already lost Clarissa, i won't loose you too i said and she moved, still sleeping and rested her head on my shoulder. This action brought a smile to my face and i caressed her hair lovingly.
