Rejected His Miracle Luna (Dorothy and Ignatius)

Chapter 96

-Dorothy-

The party was still going on when Ignatius and I slipped away to take a walk along the beach in the

dark. Ignatius had carried me on his back down a small, narrow pathway in the cliffs and then two of us

stepped onto the cold sand in our wedding

allire.

My dress billowed in the breeze and Ignatius had pulled his the loose, ditching his jacket on the sand

and taking my hand in

his

The sounds of the party atop the cliffs echoed down to us as we walked along the pale sand and stared

at the dark roaring waters of the sea. Salty spray rained over us with cach crashing wave and the moon

beamed down over us, bathing the entire stretch of sand in a silver glow,

Ignatius and I were quiet at first, enjoying the comfortable silence and exhausted by all the socializing

we had done in the past few hours. The children had slozed off ages ago and had been carried away to

be tucked into bed in the small cottage on the property..

Ellias had tried his best to keep his eyes open but his head lolled to the side as I had carried him away

from the dance floor. Amelie hadHaken initiative and she was found curled up on top of her father’s

jacket, already dozing amidst the ruckus of the party.

When Ignatius finally spoke it caught me by surprise. His whispered words were almost swept away by

the wind. “Do you think we’ll be together forever?”

I pulled a tendril of hair from where it had been swept into my face and k*ssed him. “I’m not going

anywhere without you, that’s for sure.”

“I mean like, in a different life. Our souls. Do you think we’ll find each other again?”

“I don’t doubt that for a second. I wouldn’t be surprised if it has happened already. His cool hand in

mine squeezed tighter at my words. “I think we’ve known each other for a very long time.”

Music and laughter trickled down the cliffs like rain over our heads Ignatius ran his hands over my

shoulders and k*ssed me in the dark. “You look beautiful by the way. When I saw you coming down the

aisle I thought I was going to die on the spot”

“Oh shush, you’ve just had too much champagne.”

“I mean it, Dorothy. I love you. I’ve never loved anything or anyone the way I love you.”

I was quiet for a moment before I answered him, “I think I loved you from the day we met. I think we’ll

be together forever. I know we already gave our vows but I promise that to you now!

Ignatius pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around my waist. “I couldn’t be happier with our

growing little family.”

And growing it was. After the wedding, Rita had pulled me aside to tell me that she had discovered

something important. I followed her away from the dancing and celebrating and we sat down on a

bench in a quiet spot in the garden.

Rita had been teary-eyed through the entire ceremony and her eyes were brimming with tears once

again. She had taken. my hands in her rough one and whispered her words to me, I’ve been following

up on some leads, Ignatius told me that he once met a healer who seemed to know a lot about our old

pack and your healing abilities:

I tilted my head in question, not following where she was going with this information. “What kind of

leads? I don’t understand.”

Kita looked down at my hands in her and ran a finger over the Peridot ring that twin kled in the yellow

glow of the candles. that had been lit around the garden. Fairy lights twi nkled in the trees and the

golden ribbons dazzled in the dark

“Not all of the Silvanne Pack was wiped out, Dorothy. I found some survivors. They managed to escape

the attacks and lett

the country entirely afterward.”

I could only stare at her with my mouth o open. To know that there were members of my original pack

somewhere out there was a comforting thought, to know that not everyone had fallen because of our

enemy’s attempts to get to me..

“There’s more though,” Rita murmured. “I got in contact with them. And they know a lot about the

healers. Healers like you and your mother. The bloodline is not completely gone. Aside from you, there

are others living overseas in places as far as Asia. But they’re alive. And they might know how to

prolong your own life and that of your children,”

It had been a sore topic up until that point, the fear that my unique abilities would be passed down to

my children, dooming them to a short life like mine.

While I had tried to ignore the fate that awaited me and chose instead to preserve my powers for as

long as possible thus prolonging my life, Ignatius and Rita refused to give up on their searching for

answers. And now, it had apparently paid off.

I touched a hand to the silver strand in my hair. “What now? How do we find them I can’t exactly drop

everything and backpack around Asia looking for answers.

“No, you can’t.” Rita winked at me as she spoke. “But I’ve always wanted to go traveling.

“Really! Rita, I can’t ask you to do that for me!” My eyes were wide and I held her hands in my lap, “You

don’t even have the same abilities, it’s not your burden to bear.”

But the old lady wouldn’t listen to me. She folded me in a tight embrace and promised to be back by the

time our third child came along. I had no idea what she was talking about then because Ignatius and I

had both decided it would be a very long wait if we ever were to have any more children,

She told me to be strong and brave as I always had been and then she sent me back to enjoy the

celebrations without another word on the subject. Rita had set off a few days after the wedding and we

were all sad to see her go.

Standing there on the sand, I told Ignatius everything and he listened with a furrowed brow. A smile

broke out the thought of there possibly being a way to break the curse or blessing that I had inherited.

In his excitement he lifted me into the air and swirled me around on the windswept beach, my dress

billowin like a flower unfurling

After Ignatius had finally calmed down, he let my feet touch the door again and held me close to him.

We stood t Jong time in that embrace and the wind howled around us and the sea hushed and trickled

across the shores.

“Do you still get nightmares?” Ignatius lips were close to my ears, whispering into my hair so the wind

could not steal his words “You don’t wake up panicking like you used to. I just realized that”

I tightened my arms that wrapped around him like a vice. I never wanted to let him go. His scent was

still apparent even with the salty sea air surrounding us and the ocean itself rained seafoam over our

heads

My dress was getting wet as the rushing tide closed in but I didnt mind in the slightest. The cold clear

water rushed over our bare feet and the sand sunk a little beneath us, sealing us in place like we were

always meant to stay.

“No, I don’t get those had dreams anymore,” I answered him and then looked up to touch my nose to All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

his. “I still dream though. All the time. But these are good dreams, pleasant dreams. I’m still running

through the woods. Only this time there is no creature stalking me and no snapping jaws leaping out of

the dark.

“This time the moonlight shines down through the trees as I run, And my family is running by my side.

You and Tor, the children and their future wolves who I can’t wait to meet. Nothing is chasing us, we’re

running for the fun of it. It’s a beautiful dream. And I don’t doubt that it will be a reality one day.””

There was no time for me to continue, Ignatius’ hips met mine and they tasted of the sea. I curled my

fingers in his hair as the wind howled around us in the night like its own kind of dark wolf. It swept my

hair into a frenzy of bright red locks and my dress whipped and flowed in the wind.

It occurred to me then, as he lay me down on the soli sand and preled my damp dress from my b*dy,

that we had lived on the cliffs for some time by then, and yet we had never bothered to explore each

other on the wide empty stretch of sand and
