Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 732

CHAPTER 77 : DO YOU MISS IT?

As soon as I fell asleep, I came face to face with Helen. She looked so thin and pale, like she’d been starved and badly hurt since the last dream.

I still didn’t know if these were real interactions with her.

“My dearest Mila,” she said, holding shaky arms out to me.

“Helen!” I ran to her and hugged her.

Her whole body was frail in my arms, and she felt like a stick figure or a scarecrow.

“Listen to me, my darling. You are on the brink of facing great danger. Please, please be careful of the Alpha King,” she begged.

“Helen, where are you? I want to find you. I’ve learned a lot about magic and I can help you,” I insisted.

“It is too late for me. Do not look for me because you will not find me and you need to focus on your own safety,” she insisted. Her voice was still firm despite her weakened body.

“No…”

“This is the last time I will come to you in your dreams. Soon, I will take my last journey and join your mother,” she said, smiling weakly. Her lips were thin and pale.

“No!” I snapped. “Aunt Helen, we need more time. I still have questions and need to know more about my past. And the artifact…”

“The artifact is your responsibility now. There is no more help I can offer you, Mila,” she said, touching my cheek gently.

“You can’t die! I only have two of the artifact parts and I’m not ready… not ready to lose my family,” I said, tears springing to my eyes.

Helen’s eyes filled with warmth and bittersweet sadness. She looked relieved and peaceful.

“My dear Mila, you have done so well. I am proud of you and your parents would be too,” she insisted. “I’m glad I got to know you, in what little time we had.”

“This can’t be the end. You’re all the family I have left,” I told her, hugging her tighter. I was a little afraid I’d break her if I wasn’t careful but I couldn’t control my emotions.

“For better or for worse, my mission in this world is complete and my time is up,” she told me again, running her fingers through my hair.

I shook my head, clinging to her like a little child scared of a monster under my bed.

“As for the Blade of Souls, you’ve already found the majority of it. The rest, leave it up to the Moon Goddess. Have faith in your heart,” she told me, pressing her hand to my chest.

My heart thudded against her palm.

“Listen to me. I don’t have much time left but I need you to know this. I made a mistake when I was young… I tried to interfere with the future. My mind was always so full of the future and I couldn’t let it happen…” she trailed off, coughing.

“What was going to happen? What did you see?” I asked urgently. It didn’t feel like she was going to answer my questions because she had something she wanted to say before dying but I had to ask.

“I tried to change fate and in the end, nothing changed… rather, what I did caused the future I was trying to prevent,” she told me.

“I forgive you. You don’t need to worry about that now,” I assured.
