SPELLBOUND Chapter 633: Trigger

Chapter 633: Trigger

Evie could not believe what she was hearing. Shock and disbelief coloured her face. She had to force herself to continue asking him questions. If she stopped, she might end up snapping at him or perhaps even strangling him.

"You're saying, you knew Gav and I are mates?" her voice cracked a little as she asked that. This sole information was enough to cause her frozen emotions to melt in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, it was recorded there in the Icyrian's vision. The forbidden bond between darkness and light will occur." He narrated the exact line from the vision before adding, "No one is called light but you."

Evie staggered back a little. Her mind told her not to immediately believe what Klauz was saying, that she must confirm it first but… her heart and soul had already started rejoicing and wholly believed in it.

She wanted to smile, cry with joy, run and tell Gav about this. This news… she had waited for it nearly every minute since Vera and Gideon's mating ritual. At night she even dreamt about it, wis.h.i.+ng that Gav was her mate. Now it happened. But why? Why would it happen at this moment?

The tears threatened to fall as she turned to look back at her trapped husband. "Did you hear that, Gav?" she asked him in her mind. Then a smile curved on her lips. It was happy at first, but it slowly turned pained. Bitter.

She suddenly remembered what Gav had told her before. That there was a reason why both Gavs were separated. Who would have thought that this was reason? Why? How could fate be so cruel to them?

Swallowing past the painful lump that seemed to be lodged in her throat, Evie shut her eyes to control her emotions. Then she turned to look at Klauz again.

"Then why? What's the point of you doing what you did then? Weren't you supposed to just inform me or Gav about it?" Evie asked him, the anger that was simmering now surged within her chest again. "Gav and I performed a spell to postpone the mating bond's trigger."

"That spell is useless for you both! Gavrael is not a mere dark fae! The darkness literally flows in his blood and also with the powerful light that you possess, it will never work. The spell can only bind creatures not stronger than the spell itself. And Gavrael lied to you. He didn't go through that spell because he knew it wouldn't work!" he raked his hand through his hair as he said those words. "The only way for the bond between you two not to happen is to have you get marked by another. And that was why I kidnapped you."

Before Evie could ask again, Klauz just continued speaking, as if he knew exactly what she would ask next. "I know an ancient spell no one else knows about. It's a spell no one could find even in the King's library because that same b.a.s.t.a.r.d king who destroyed Ferber, had destroyed the book that contains it. That forbidden spell could force a mating bond to trigger between a male and female who are non-mates." Raw anger flashed in his eyes. "I still know about that spell because that was the very same spell that b.a.s.t.a.r.d king used on my mother, the lady of Ferber, to claim her as his mate and then wife!"

Klauz was breathing hard after those words left his mouth. Then he looked at Evie with a serious gaze. "All I wanted was to make sure that the mating bond between the you two will not happen by marking you. And don't tell me I should've told you about this. I'd never. After I saw how crazily you respond to him, you would never agree to let the bond happen between us. And most especially Gavrael. There would be no way in h.e.l.l that he'd agree to this even if he hears of the reason!"

Evie let go of his collar. She had been itching to strike at him again but this time she refrained. Knowing that she might cause a serious blow to him this time that could actually kill him, since he had already suffered multiple serious injuries from Gav earlier.

"All I had wanted was to secure you and mark you. In doing so, the awakening will not happen. But it seems nothing can stop it," Klauz continued. "Whether I kidnapped you or not, Gavrael's awakening would still happen."

"That's true. But whatever it is, today you have committed a grave mistake and hastened his awakening that I was so desperately trying to delay." Evie said through gritted teeth, still not able to fully come to terms that Gav had been awakened and was now trapped in her crystal.

"What made you think that you can delay it?" Klauz retorted again. "According to the vision about your mating bond, it would have been triggered any time within a few hours from now."

"No. You are wrong. I've seen it in… my dreams. Gav's awakening should not have happened this early on." Evie told Klauz. Her tone and eyes were so serious that Klauz was compelled to believe what she said was true.

"Really? Are you certain you've seen it?"

"Vera also saw it in her vision. Gav would still be with us for a quite a long while, maybe even months from now! You've grossly miscalculated and caused a disaster by doing this!" Evie shouted.

"No. I am right. It's meant to happen tonight. Because the night of the Emerian festival is tonight. It was clearly stated in the vision. So even if I didn't kidnap you, the awakening would still happen. I can show you the vision right now and you can see for yourself that I am not lying to you as I know you are suspecting me."

Evie shook her head. This does not make sense to her right now. The vision he was talking about, and the vision that Vera saw was contradictory.
