The Lycan king-Chapter 42

*Leonora*

Luke motioned for me to stand up and I did. I walked out of the hut and waited for him to come outside. It seemed like the interview went well with the smile on his face. I don’t know why I felt so happy. It had been a while since someone looked at me the way he did. He had a look of pride, like he had scored a goal or something and I wondered what ran through his mind.

I wouldn’t lie to myself and say that I wasn’t missing Jax. That was the only thing that filled my mind. But at the same time, it pained me that every moment I spent with Jax was a lie. My first sex was a lie. I thought he meant it when he told me loved me. I was too stupid to even think he meant it. How would he mean it? I was nothing to him. I was just a stain on his cloth. He wanted me gone.

As I thought about Jax, I realized that I didn’t accept his rejection like he wanted. He was going to look for me. He was still going to search for me and maybe this time he would hurt me. He might send people after me and finish me off. It scared me to think of what next, he would do to me.

I didn’t want to risk myself anymore and I just wanted to rest and be myself. I was tired. Tired of everything. Tired of having to be Jax’s slave. Tired of putting up with Jax because he was my leader. Tired of the rat chase we had involved ourselves in.

"you did good." I heard someone say and I turned to the door. Luke stood there with a big grin on his face. I wondered why he was so interested in me and what was going on with me. I was not special. I had nothing going on for me. I was just a teacher in the human world and a slave in Jax’s pack. I wasn’t worth all this trouble. "Now we would go to the Shaman to get cleansed. Have you done that before?" He asked and I shook my head. I had heard so much about a Shaman. Jax had a shaman. They were used to cleanse and heal people. Meeting a Shaman was a dream come through. There were so many things I wanted to ask. How does someone become a Shaman.

Luke took my hand in his. It felt so warm against my skin and I sighed. I don’t think Jax ever held my hand in his. The most he did was grab my forearm and pulled me where ever he wanted me to go to. I hated it but who was I to complain. He wasn’t just my mate. He was the King of his pack- my pack. There was only so much I could do.

He led me to the Shaman’s hut which was far away from most huts in the clearing. He knocked on the door and it opened. Luke entered into the hut and I followed suit. The woman was seated on the floor with her back to us.

"Leonora." She called and I gasped. How did she know it was me? "Sit." She said and Luke and I sat on the floor, crossing our legs. She turned to us. "Luke, excuse us." She said and Luke got up and walked out of the hut. It was just this lady and i. I mean this Shaman and I. "I’m a Shamanic witch. Most of my spells involve healing the soul. There’s no way I can cleanse you if you are troubled." She explained to me and I nodded.

"Okay, is there anything- "She motioned for me to shut up and listen but there was nothing for me to hear. I couldn’t hear whatever she was listening to. Maybe it was just me.

"Your soul is not at peace. You’re so sad. It almost seems like you’re broken. You are filled with so much resentment, anger and love for the person that hurt you the most." Hs explained and I gasped. How did she know? How did she know about Jax. This wasn’t real. It felt like something out of a movie. Maybe I needed to leave this place. "No, don’t go. This cleansing with make you undetectable to your enemies including this man you are running from." She said as she held out her hand for me. I placed mine in hers and she began chanting. The walls around me rumbled and I looked around. I wasn’t sure if I was running mad because I didn.t see anything shake but I could hear it shake.

She lifted her head and increased her voice. The more she spoke, I felt something move around my boy it was weird. So weird. A part of me wanted to run back to Shirley and Bethany and tell them that there were psychos in this place but I couldn’t. I couldn’t risk going back to Jax’s pack. He may never let me out again.

I felt a lot of emotional pain consume me. Memories of Jax torturing me flooded my mind and I wanted to scream out in pain instead I cried it out. It was way better to cry than to make them worry about me. I closed my eyes shaking my head trying to get rid of the thoughts of Jax but I couldn’t. After a while, the thoughts vanished and I felt relieved. I don’t know what she did but I felt different. I felt new.

"Your scent is now undetectable. No one, Not even the man you’re running from can sense you." She said and I smiled. "I also got a revelation from the spirits. You have the gift of healing." She said and I frowned. "Be careful, so many people will be looking for you when they find out what you can do."
