Rejected, Broken And Forgotten
Chapter 108

Nina’s POV

Can it be? Will this powerful magical wolf help me? I do not know. No one has ever loved me, and I do not know how to react. I do not know if I can trust her. I only know dark magic, but my wolf was never happy doing it. I wonder how it will feel if I learn how to do white magic. Will it allow me to change? I look at the powerful red-haired wolf standing before me. Can I trust her?

“What is your name? My name is Miriam,” Mariam says.

“My name is Nina. I do not know if I can trust you,” I say.

“I know your mother hurt you, and the dark witches never accepted you because you have a wolf. They are using you to destroy this Kingdom. I know there are werewolves with you, and I know my father is one and my ex-mate. My father wants me dead, and my ex-mate wants my mate dead. They do not know about each other’s plans, as my ex-mate wants me back,” I do not want him, and I know my mate is strong enough to kill him,” Mariam explains.

“I know I am being a pain in your a*s, but I do not trust anyone. I want to speak to your King and Queen,” I say. I want to see if they are the strong warriors everyone says they are.

“You know I can not allow black magic near my King and Queen,” Mariam says.

“You and I know they are protected against all magic. I tried my magic on then, but it came back to me, and I had to fight off my spells,” I say.

“Nina, I want you to meet someone else first,” Mariam says. I look at her suspiciously.

“Who?” I ask.

“Your sister, Elena,” Mariam says.

“The one that everyone says is crazy?” I ask. I have heard about her, and everyone told me she was batshit crazy.

“Why don’t you make up your own mind about her? Please give her a chance and talk to her,” Mariam says. I am intrigued.

“Fine, I will meet her and want to talk to her. I want to see if she is as crazy as everyone says she is,” I say.

“I will call her to come in alone,” Mariam says. I can sense she is mind-linking someone. I wonder if I should message the witches to help me. No, I want to find out what this Kingdom is all about. The door opens, and a she-wolf walks in. I can feel our connection.

“So this is my little sister?” She asks.

“I am Nina. I have no family,” I say.

“You are wrong little one. I am your sister, and we want to help you escape the dark witches,” Elena says.

“Really? Why are you not crazy, Elena? Everyone says you are,” I say.

“Oh, it is because I am not really crazy. I acted crazy in front of our brother and father. They were pure evil and did not like women. They had no respect for women, no matter how powerful they were. I acted crazy so that I could help the Kingdom. I wanted the legend of one King and Queen and one Kingdom to come true. I am happy I could see it happen in my lifetime,” Elena says.

“I am not so sure about that. What stops the wolves from ruling the world if they are united?” I say.

“I can see the dark witches have brainwashed you. Werewolves are peaceful creatures, except for rogues and some other evil wolves you get,” Elena says.

“Besides, I can tell your wolf does not like doing black magic. You do not want to use dark powers to do your magic,” Mariam says.

“How can you tell? You were not that long in my mind,” I ask. I know she knows everything about me, which scares me, as I do not want my secret exposed.

“Nina, I know everything about you. I can read your mind. I was long enough there to know how to read your mind and feelings,” Mariam says.

“Can you really help me beat my mother in a magic battle?” I ask. I hate my mother. My whole life, she and the other witches put me in magical battles to humiliate me. She hated my father for using her and never returned to her when she told him she was pregnant. He laughed at her and told her it was not his problem and that she should use her magic to get rid of me. My mother hoped he would return after my birth, but he did not, as she was just one of many. I always thought if I could get my father to return to her, she would love me and stop making fun of me, but I knew I was dreaming. I was pissed off when they killed him before I could reach him. I was sad and lonely again with no dream, then my mother came to me and told me they wanted to send me on a critical mission to spy on my father’s killers. I was to turn the wolves against each other and mess up their Kingdom. I almost succeeded, but the King and Queen came home, and the magical wolves came with them.

“I knew I was in trouble when you started your magic on me. I know I am powerful, but my black magic is no match for your white magic. My mother is more powerful than me. They used to laugh at me before I got my wolf. I could not even destroy the weakest witch in the coven. But when I got my wolf, she helped me, and I am the second strongest in the coven now, but they still hate me. I know I do not belong with them, and I would love to become your student. I know I can never attack good creatures again if I turn to white magic, but you will help me to get rid of the black magic first, as I do not want my magic to become gray and make me a natural creature,” I say. I know about magic and how it works. I know I do not want to gray like you as not evil or good. You are just in the middle and only care about yourself. If you mix white and black magic, you become natural. I need to forget the black magic to become a white witch.

“I can help you,” Mariam says.

“I trust you,” I say. I know she will have to erase some of my memory, but only the part that knows the spells and how to use dark magic. If she erases everything, I will forget my whole life. I do not want to forget as I still want to get revenge on my mother and the other witches that will gang up on me sometimes and magically attack me when I am standing alone. Sometimes they will catch me off guard and almost destroy me. My mother would laugh and say it reminded me of what they could do to me if I went against the coven. I hate her as I had to run away then and live alone in the woods for a few days to recover. She and her witches are afraid of me. My power is growing, but I no longer want to feel dead inside. That is how dark magic makes me feel.

“Fine, stand still, and I will help you,” Mariam says. I stand still as I hear her chanting. I feel the darkness drained from me, and I hope it does not affect Mariam, but I think she can absorb it. Her strong wolf will reject it from her system before it can reach her heart. I can feel her turning the darkness into light. She replaces all my dark magic knowledge with her knowledge of white magic, and it can not be taken from her as she knows it by heart, but she can give me the knowledge as she takes my knowledge of dark magic away.

“Are you okay?” Mariam asks as I tap into my white magic. It feels natural to me, and my wolf seems so much happier.

“I feel free! I feel the darkness has left me, and my wolf is happy,” I say. I look at my hands and know all their chants and spells. I know Mariam has put the knowledge of all her books in my head, so I do not have to use it.

“Now, Nina, I will show you how to get power from your white magic,” Mariam says.

“I know it is not from chaos, death, or other tragic events,” I say.

“Open your heart and mind to mother nature. She will help you to use her and everything around her to give you powers. If we use mother nature, we do not destroy her like dark magic, as the dark witches will draw power from her by killing her plants and trees. When we use her to give us strength, we put it back simultaneously, and when new plants grow, we receive power from them. We feed mother nature instead of killing her. I hope you understand what I am saying. You need to give rather than take,” Mariam says. I do not understand what I am supposed to give. I only understand taking, but I open my heart and mind to nature and feel like I can feel the flowers grow and hear the calls of nature. I give them more life and feel my power growing inside me. I need to recharge. That is how magic works. The Dark witch charges by killings, chaos, or tragic event. I understand that a white witch charges her powers by giving life. I understand now. White magic is giving, and black magic is taking. I know both magics, and of the two, I prefer white magic. I am glad black magic is out of my system and that I forgot all the spells and chants of black magic.

“I understand now. I feel refreshed, and I think I should practice a few spells and chants. My mother will only know that I am a white witch when she gets close to me. They are still far away from here and will not be in time to ruin the King and Queen’s party, but we will have to be careful, as I know the two Alphas are in a hurry to attack the Kingdom, and all the dark witches and warlocks have joined them. They also have some bad vampires with them, and we need to protect the Kingdom and the King and Queen. I will not enter the Kingdom yet as I do not know if my mother and her magic can pick it up. I will wait until they ask me about the mission. I am in your father’s pack so that they can mind-link me. We do not use magic to send messages as my mother knows the gypsies, and you will pick up the dark magic. They are terrified of you. I would love to meet the King and Queen since I am a white witch now, but I will wait until the party tonight,” I say.

“Who said we would allow you to join the Kingdom,” Elena says. I feel sad, as I thought I had friends at last, but by the sound of it, they do not want me.

“She is joking and acting crazy. Do not be sad, little one. You are a part of us, as we know you are putting your life in danger by spying on the dark witches,” Mariam says, looking at Elena with a frown.

“I was only joking and did not mean to make you sad. You are my little sister, and I will always love you like that,” Elena says as she walks to me and hugs me. Can it be true? Do I have a family now? Have I come home at last?

“You are home, Nina! You are part of us,” Mariam says. I cry as I hug her. She feels like my mother, as she will be my teacher.
