The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Kayla Pov Elena nodded her head in acknowledgment.

“I did not know this realm existed,” she says.

“We do not let many people from the outside world into our realm. How have you come here? People who are not born in this realm burn to a crisp instantly,” Solem states.

“I am channeling the energy in my bloodline,” Elena explains. “I am a child of the Moon Goddess.”

I look at the energy around her. It’s like a cocoon of protection around her.

“I know well about your realm,” Solem explains. “My father has taught me a lot about your spiritual realm. There are many others as well,” he stated.

“Indeed,” she said.

Meanwhile, I’m still wrapping my mind around all of this. I take a seat.

“Kayla, you have people worried about you. We didn’t know why you had not awoken yet, but now I understand,” Elena explained. “Do not stay away from your body for too long. I have traveled to the moon spirit realm as well, and being away from my body for longer than 24 hours can cause permanent damage. You are already weak.”

“I don’t know how to get back,” I told her. I know Dr. Lauren must be worried about me. She has probably not left my body, knowing her.

“You have to take a breath and picture yourself floating back to where you are,” Solem says. I nodded to him.

“I will rejoin my body soon,” I told her. She nods in understanding.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Can you bring Dr. Lauren here by any chance?” I asked her. I want to let her know I’m okay.”

Elena nods.

“I will be back shortly,” she says, then disappears.

“The prophecy must be close if you’re already under the protection of the moon goddess’s daughter,” Solem states.

“Is this the same one our parents died for?” I ask, and he nods his head.

“Tell me what it says,” I told him. Before he can start, I feel the light energy, and I know she is back. I turned around and saw Elena with Lauren. I can tell she is channeling energy around her.

“Lauren,” I cried out, rushing to her and hugging her. I was happy to see her. She did save my life, after all.

“Hi, my dear, you scared me there for a moment,” Lauren tells me, scooping me up in her arms.

“I’m sorry I did; I only just found out where I was and my birth story,” I told her. I pull back from her.

“Solem, this is Dr. Lauren, the caretaker I have been telling you about.” I told him.

He stands up and bows to her.

“Thank you for taking care of my sister, Lauren,” he tells her.

He is looking at her with a funny face, and I look over to Lauren to see her blush. I was about to ask what that was about when I got a sudden rush of energy and two males appeared in the room. They both have the same energy around them.

Solem gets ready to stand up and get back in an attack position when Elena quickly yells out, “My sons.” He then relaxes. These boys seem so familiar to me. I then remember they were there before I passed out. I also remember them calling me a mate.

Something inside me is stirring as I look at them. I can feel it, like a warm feeling taking over my body. These boys are so fucking gorgeous. They are both the same height with jet black hair. They are both lean, but I can see they are well-toned due to their muscles. They are both wearing black T-shirts and black jeans. They look like two fucking gods. Two incredibly sexy fucking gods.

“Ahem,” Solem clears his throat, and I’m brought back to reality. I hadn’t realized I had been walking towards them, their eyes taking in my appearance and lustfully looking at me. I looked down out of shyness. What’s wrong with me? I don’t act like that. As I looked down, I saw fire engulfing my whole body, as if I were one with it, and I screamed.

Solem is in front of me instantly as I am trying to remove the flames.

I see the twin’s eyes: solemn, angered, and walking towards me to help, but Elena holds them back.

“Her brother!” she tells them, and they back down.

Lauren is watching with worried eyes.

“Katiana, calm down,” he said, looking into my eyes. “The fire will not hurt you.” After taking a deep breath, I realized he was right. The flames are light, and they barely tickle. It feels like energy is being channeled through my whole body. I can feel this power.

After a few breaths, I felt the flames calm down. I keep breathing until they disappear. I let out a breath and hugged Solem.

“Thank you,” I told him. He hugs me back.

“Did you say these are your sons?” he asks Elena, and she nods.

“They are your Syntrofos,” Solem tells me. I looked at him with a questioning look. What does Syntrofos mean?

“It’s Greek for a mate,” he explains. According to the prophecy, they are your Syntrofos. Together, you are all either the savior or destroyer of the world.

I think of myself as the destroyer of worlds. I could see a confused look on their faces.

I could hear Lauren gasp.

“We’ve been talking about a prophecy that led to the deaths of my birth parents, the King and Queen of this realm.” I explained what Solem told me.

“What is the prophecy?” the twins asked in unison. I try not to look at them, half-embarrassed from earlier and half because I want to know what he is about to say.

Solemn nodded, but before he could say anything, Lauren yelled. Her eyes turned white before she spoke.
