My Mate Is A Witch
Chapter 23

“Really!! I will love to see you try, Bolt. I swear I will break your hand for touching me without my permission.” Caroline hissed and grabbed her bag, which was almost packed. All she had to do to pack was a pair of clothes that she had been wearing before.

“Sarah! Sarah! I’m so sorry on behalf of my wolf. He… can be a jerk sometimes, but he didn’t mean that. You know him, right?” Artemis said, holding Caroline’s hand. “I’m sorry on his behalf, Sarah. Please forgive me, considering it as his first and last minutes. He can never force you for….”

“You don’t have to explain yourself, Artemis. Neither do you have to explain Bolt’s behavior. I know his behavior, okay?”

“Then… then why are you leaving?”

“Because it is the need of the time, Artemis,” Caroline replied calmly. “You need to think properly about your proposal because I’m clear that I don’t want this.” She added clearly. Bolt whimpered, hearing this. Caroline caressed his cheek.

“I’m not mad at you, Bolt. I swear. Because I know that you won’t forcefully take me anywhere.”, She said so that Bolt wouldn’t blame himself for her leaving her.

“Then, please don’t go.” Bolt whimpered.

“I’m not rejecting you, Mate.” She explained. “It’s just that along with you, even I too need time to think straight, okay? I’m not that type of woman who used the man for pleasure, you know. What happened between us meant a lot to me, but I need time to think about it.”

“Just… just think what you want, not what your parents want,” Artemis said because Bolt gave control to him when the conversation came about the topic of patience. “And how can I reach near you in case I want to?”

“You can’t,” Caroline replied. “You can’t replace or reach near me not until I want to. On the top, Artemis, you can’t walk on the path of marriage alone. You have to give me space to walk me too.” She added.

“As for now, just… just let me go. My mom is hopelessly romantic, and she says, ‘if you need someone, then fate won’t let you lose him/her. Fate will bring him/her back. It may not be soon, but he/she will come back.” The moment Caroline said this, Artemis didn’t try even once to stop her. He watched her packing her bag, and that was when her eyes landed on her torn panties.

She tried to reach near it, but Artemis was quick to grab it. “I will throw it on my own.”

“Oh… okay then…” Caroline nodded and closed the zip of the travel bag, and left the room and the VIP suite. The steps that Caroline was taking were getting heavy, and her heart wasn’t really happy with the thought of leaving him.

A day had passed since Caroline reached moved to a new city in Spain to explore and have fun, but all she could do was stayed in her room and think about the days spent with Artemis. She didn’t know that he had made such an important place in her heart until she was away from him.

Long gone, the pain that Mark and Alice had given to her because all she could think was Artemis, his cheesy lines, his care and concern, his romantic gesture, his time-to-time k**s, and many more things.

Damn, she was too miserable without him.

“Ahhhh!!” She g*****d in frustration and left the bed to look at the sky. “I’m sure he is warlock or wizard.” She muttered. Holding her Talismans, she muttered. “Nana, please guide me on a path. What should I do?” She asked, and after a while, she saw the spirit of Helena Morgan, who was like a godmother to her, smiling at her.

“Sorry, Caro. But I can’t help with your decision.”

“Why not?”

“Because it’s your life, Caro. So, it should be your decision.” Caroline pouted, hearing her. She wanted to hear that whatever she did was right and her miserable condition would go away soon. “But I can guess that he is not the right one for you. You deserve better than him. He will cheat on you like Mark. In fact, he has a mistress back in Rome, and he just wants you as a mate for showing off.”

“WHAT? That’s…. That’s impossible, Nana. Moon Goddess paired him with me for some reason so that he would be the right one for me. And I… I don’t know the definition of GOOD, BETTER, BEST. But Artemis will fall in under the category of WORSE than. I don’t any better than him. And how can you say that he will cheat on me? You can’t see the future. And how can you say that he has a mistress? You can’t see his past or present, can you? Hell, you can’t stay away from me, so you can’t even say that you travel to Italy to replace this out.” Caroline reasoned out, trying her best to argue politely with her, and by the time she finished, she saw Helena had a sly smile on her lips.

“Strange, Caro!! You want someone to say the same thing, and now that I’m saying the same, you’re trying to argue with me, huh?”

“I…I..”

“Follow your heart, Caro.”
