《Devil's Affection [Affection Series 5] {Completed}》Chapter 28

"Devon, now" Devilin orders as he requests his brother to use his power to stop the time before Devilin connects his own power to take them back to the past.
"What are you planning?" Drag asks as he follows the boys.
"Where are we?" Devon asks as he feels a bit light headed.
"To the place where Thomas saved my mate's life"
"What?" both Drag and Devon asks at once.
"The last time I was here I could not see everything as Raine was in this place as well seeing exactly what I was and I got distracted on my task"
"What task?"
"There was a woman in here with Thomas, I could not see her face at the time and it's important that I see her...
To know who exactly she was"
"Okay but why did you ask me to stop the time?" Devon asks confused.
"So, the vision would not change before I get to see the woman's face"
"Oh, so you are using your powers to time travel while mine to stop the time"
"Exactly" Devilin replies as they enter the room where everything is frozen.
"Well hurry up bro, I am feeling a headache" Devon informs Devilin who walks towards the woman and kneels down a bit to see her face.
As he thought, his suspicions are confirmed when he sees her face.
"Who is it?" Devon asks as he rubs his head a bit.
"Jasmine's mother" Devilin sighs as they all wake up at once.
Devon starts to throw up at once when he wakes up, as he has never used his powers to all of its limits.
"Shit, are you okay?" Devilin asks as he goes to help his brother who keeps throwing up.
*******
After a while, Devon finds himself sitting on a chair with a glass of juice to throw away the nasty taste in his mouth.
"How are you feeling?" Devilin asks as he hands his brother some medicine.
"Dizzy" he groans clutching his head.
"Sorry about it"
"No, it's fine. I should have practiced a bit more to keep control of my powers. Well, did you get what you were looking for?" Devon asks as he smiles at his brother in assurance.
"Yes"
"And?"
"Now, we wait, for a new chapter"
"What do you mean?"
"Now that I saw it was Jasmine's mother who helped Thomas, I am sure I will soon get to see a new past in my dreams, the only thing is to wait till I get to enter a new light"
"And you will be staying in here till you see it?" Devon asks a bit worried.
"Yes"
"What about Raine?"
"What about her?"
"Dev, you said it took you months to see the past what are the chances that this one will take that much time...
You cannot just sit here and make your mate suffer"
"And I cannot go back without answers" Devilin grounds making Devon sigh.
"Whatever, I have no energy to fight you now"
"Thanks for your help though"
"Anytime. Guess my services are no longer needed" Devon teases his brother to lighten their mood.
"No, Drag and I will be going from here on"
"What are you exactly looking for Dev?" Devon cannot help but ask.
"Even I do not know, but somehow it seems important that I know about the woman whose face I could not see....
And knowing that it was Jasmine's mother, somehow I feel at ease as if now I will get some answer regarding Thomas" Devilin sighs rubbing his face tiredly.

"Well, good luck on that and may I know how you sneaked your dragon?" he asks sheepishly making Devilin smile.
"We are bonded; he does not have to physically appear in front of me for me to use his help, like mates we can connect through our dreams," Devilin explains to his brother who nods his head before groaning as pain shoots.
"Why don't you rest for a while before leaving?" Devilin suggests, leaving his brother alone.
*******
Devilin walks towards his room, he pulls out a book to read as he did not feel like sleeping or letting his mind wander off, as he knows all he would like to dream about is his mate.
Moreover, if he let his control slip he will want nothing but to be with his mate, as he knows she has been missing him terribly.
All of a sudden, Devilin falls down on the ground as if paralyzed; he cannot seem to move any part of his body, try as he might he cannot even call anyone.
Therefore, he just let the feeling take over and before he knows, he is welcomed to a new light on its own.
Devilin finds himself, standing once again where it all started on Summer's pack ground, he turns around to find Jade staring at him unlike the other time he met her, her gaze or expression on her face was not a welcome one.
"Do not seek me," she warns him but he just ignores her.
"I need some answers only you can give me, Jade"
"This power I gave you was to save the girl and nothing else, so do not take my kindness for granted Devilin...
Do not seek me again"
"Why?" Devilin asks stopping her as she was about to walk away.
"Why what?"
"Why did you give me this power?"
"Is it not obvious? To save the girl"
"But why? Were you not involved with Thomas in all of this? Then why bestowed me with this power?"
"To show the gratitude towards Adrian who saved my girl when no one did, so I returned the favor to him, nothing else, now go"
"Why do you look so scared?" Devilin asks as she was hurrying him to walk away but why.
"Just remember Devilin, if I gave you this power to walk freely between the past and present I can take it away from you or better trap you in here forever so before I do something that will end up with you dead get away from here"
"I need your help Jade, help me save my mate from Thomas. Help me end the madness of his; in his greed of power, he has created too much destruction...
Even your pack could not get away from him," Devilin pleads trying to make her see his point.
"You do not understand"
"Then make me"
"He cannot be defeated Devilin, you think I did not try to? Look where I am now, trapped in between this world where there is no one of mine...
To give you this power to save her, I am forever trapped in this place, walking alone these grounds and halls my mate and I swore to protect fill it with love and kindness" she states as tears fills her eyes.
"If you do not tell me everything then there will no longer be any love and kindness alive for anyone...
Think about Jasmine, your daughter do you want her to live her life in fear of that man or your grand daughter to live a life where she will not be happy with" Devilin asks taking a different route so the woman will help him.

"My grand daughter?" Jade asks with a sudden interest.
"Yes, her name is Blue, she is going to be four soon"
"Is my Jasmine happy?"
"Extremely, Advin is a good man; he loves both of them dearly" Devilin replies as he watches the woman's hardness crumble down a bit.
*******
"Thomas was a good friend of both me and my mate. He was in council and who would have thought a council member would do such things...
We welcomed him in our home, treated him like our family. You see even if I am a wolf, I am not a pure breed...
My mother she was a witch and I was involved in witchcraft myself, back then witches were not given the equal rights, they were looked down upon as if some pest...
After the fall down of the queen, witches were ban from our world, few did the witchcraft in secret yet it was not accepted fully by the world...
Thomas found out about me, I was scared. If anyone knew the female Alpha of the pack is a witch, do you know how the pack would look like?
They would have accused me that I did some magic and made my mate believe that we were mates. Thomas kept my secret hidden and in return, he wanted me to help him...
I did not want to, but I was too scared of the consequences if I being a witch came out to everyone so I helped him...
I helped him create those monsters with the help of Aria's blood and later on with the child's blood" Jade explains everything to him while he listens patiently.
"What about his appearances how can he do so?" Devilin asks next.
"Same way those mandrakes are created, to complete the mandrakes form there is one special thing and very crucial one...
It is the blood of the dragon master, without that blood mandrakes cannot be awaken that is why they answer to the dragon master, because of the blood within them calls for their master...
Thomas was smart, he had collected Oliver's blood, he had kept it bottled, even if Aria mated with Oliver's father, she did not have quiet the same appeal on the blood, it was not strong enough...
That is why they wanted Scar to test it, we did not know if Scar's blood holds the same power as Oliver...
However, the child's blood, it really is a miracle, the new mandrakes they were better than the old ones that Oliver created, they were a bit smart if I may add...
May be because of your blood that is running in her veins had that impact knowing how your bloodline is one of the oldest and strongest ones around...
Thomas needs your mate's blood more than anything in the world he does not even care for the dragon any longer as he wants the girl for himself" Jade's stops speaking as she watches Devilin's reaction to everything but the boy shows nothing in his face or bodily language.
*******
"So, Raine's blood is helping him change appearances?" Devilin asks for the last time.
"Yes, you may have known he mated with one of the mandrakes, because of that whenever he drinks Oliver's or Raine's blood he can easily change his body as he desires" Jade clears the things out.
"How can I kill him?" he asks and at that, Jade just smiles ruefully.
"I do not know the answer to that Devilin, I do not even know what Thomas is, for when I saw him last time he had already lost his insanity as well humanity...
And with all of this years hidden from everyone who knows what he has become and it's not so easy to kill him" Jade replies as she gets up from the bench they were sitting at.
"Thank you for the help Jade" Devilin states in all honesty.
"You are welcome Devilin, but never try to seek me again as I may get greedy for company and trap you in here with me...
Loneliness can make one do crazy things" the woman sadly smiles as she walks away from him.
"Jade, just one last question" Devilin calls stopping the woman.
"What is it?"
"Where is your mate's body?" he asks making the woman smile fondly.
"He always loved the flower Jasmine, that is why we named our daughter one" Jade replies sadly before she vanishes.
*******
Devilin slowly opens his eyes to find himself on his bed, he groans as his body aches.
"Thank god you are alive" Devon's worrisome voice makes him turn to face his brother who fusses over him.
"What happened?"
"What happened? You scared me to death, I was searching you so we could have dinner when I found you unconscious you idiot...
You were lying down cold, for a second I thought you died"
"Sorry, it seems we will not have to wait for months"
"What?"
"I met Jade and she told me everything on Thomas"
"Umm, okay but who is Jade?" Devon asks a bit unsure.
"Jasmine's mother, oh before I forget you need to go to the summer pack," Devilin asks as he gets up from the bed.
"Why?"
"To search for Jasmine's father body"
"Uh what?"
"We need to bury him and Jade together so she will not be alone any longer"
"Dev, I think you should rest a bit more, talking with dead people may have caused some harm to your brain and you are talking strangely" Devon pushes his brother back on the bed who chuckles.
"No, I am perfectly fine. She helped me a lot Devon and it's my turn to return the favor, she has been wandering in that place all alone and if I bury them together properly then I think they can meet and she will not be alone any longer" Devilin explains his action while Devon still looks his way unsure.
"So you mean she is still wandering summer pack even after her death?"
"Yes"
"And you want me to go there to search the man's body?"
"Yes"
"Are you out of your mind, I am your own brother, twin at that and you are sending me where the ghosts are walking freely just because you have to return the favor?" Devon shouts at his brother shaking his arms in disbelief.
"Devon, I am not sending you alone"
"No, I am not doing this; you do it if you feel so bad for the ghost. I am never putting my foot on that land" Devon refuses.
"Well then I will ask Advin then, I am sure he will do it without a second thought seeing how it's his mate's parents I am trying to help...
I am sure Ariel will be very proud of her brother who would do anything for his mate and to keep her happy, as I am sure seeing Jasmine sad even Ariel will feel bad as how she is family"
Devilin sighs as he finally gets out of the bed but once again finds himself, lying down on the bed as his brother pushes him down.
"Stop blackmailing me, you fucker, fine I will do it. Stop throwing around the Ariel card" he grumbles as he finally agrees to do it while Devilin just smiles innocently.
