Chapter - 16 A touch?

As soon as the door closed, I put the tray aside.

I was not at all hungry. Not with him, lying on the hospital bed.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•

" I want to talk to them, Jose. Let me. " I yelled flaying my hands up in the air trying to make my point.

I didn't even have enough time to argue with someone at this moment.

I made up my mind that I will heal His majesty, despite his protests or not wanting anything to do with me.

This time, I chose.

" But Raine - "

" There's no but. "

" Fine. " He closed in eyes. A while later, a wide portal was created out of thin air.

I happened to feel a great pull into the multi-color portal, every passing minute.

Almost immediately I entered it. It felt like I stepped into an atmosphere completely different from the ones I was in.

I found myself in familiar surroundings, the woods.

" Greetings my queen. " I turned around to look at Stellan, looking the same as on our previous encounter.

He bowed to me, with his hand on the chest, something I grew accustomed to, the past few days.

" Hello Elder Stellan. " I smiled.

" To what do I owe you this pleasure, Queen Raine? "

" I was meaning to ask you something."

" Related to his majesty, I suppose. " I nodded. " Perhaps let's take a walk. "

" It's quite easy to heal him. Just your touch is enough. " He glanced at me sideways.

How on earth fid he know?

" A touch? " I asked uncertainly, as we made our way through the woods.

" Yes, just a touch. Considering you both are soulmates, he can be healed with a mere touch. I suggest you use it to cure fatal injuries. Sure, you can use it to heal little cuts, wounds, etc but it will drain your energy off or even to an extent that, you may gain them, with twice the pain. So, be careful. "

" I completely understand but what I don't is How can we be soulmates when he's in love with someone else? He doesn't even like me, of that sort."

" That's where you are wrong, My queen. In one lifetime, you may love many times, but one love will burn your soul forever. They are soulmates. And in this case, try to think the impossible. You think, your husband loves some other. But think again." He said smiling as if he knew something I didn't.

What was I missing ?

I stopped in my tracks, trying to wrap my head around with the new information.

What does that mean? What else could it be?

" C'mon. " He resumed his walk.

" You can trick the mind and maybe even the heart but never the soul. When a person is not free to love with their soul, that is not loving and that is why a love spell can never truly work." He smiled.

All of this was making me even more confused.

Was he giving me any kind of clue?

A love spell can never truly work.

What does that mean?

" Could it be that Rose put a love spell on him? " I asked.

" That's for you to find out. Unfortunately, our time is up and I hope you find your answers. Till then." He disappeared abruptly.

I craned my neck only to find the portal still visibly open with a mix of colors. I was perplexed knowing we didn't even walk that far or so, but it sure felt like it. It was like I was still standing where I stood a while back.

Even in the reality.

I shook my head before stepping inside and immediately found myself back into the garden.

" I am heading to the hospital. " I said walking past him, leaving him confused.

" Raine!! " I heard him yell, as he sprinted towards me. I turned to him.

" Be careful. " he hugged me.

" Always. " He kissed my forehead before I marched off.

It was about time I pay my prey a visit.
