Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Awake

Olivia’s POV

The seer stood across from me, her worried eyes fixed on mine. "Are you ready?" she asked for the last time.

"Yes," I breathed. "I’m ready."

She nodded once, her expression unreadable, then motioned for me to kneel beside the bed. My mother lay there, still as stone, her body pale and thin from ten years of being trapped in this cursed sleep. My hands trembled as I reached for hers.

"She’s been gone for a long time," the seer reminded me softly. "To call her back will take more than magic—it will take your spirit. Do you understand?"

"I understand," I whispered, my throat tight.

The seer began chanting in a low, rhythmic voice. Candles flickered, shadows dancing across the walls. A silver circle surrounded the bed, the runes glowing faintly as if waking from a long slumber.

"Place your palms over her heart," the seer instructed.

I did as told, pressing both hands gently against my mother’s chest. Her skin was cold, but under it, I imagined the faintest thrum of life—like a dying ember waiting to be fanned into flame.

"Call to her," the seer urged.

I closed my eyes, letting tears slip down my cheeks. Mama... it’s me. Please come back. I need you.

Heat began to build under my palms, slow at first, then stronger. My wolf stirred inside me, lending me strength. A golden glow spread from my hands, sinking into my mother’s body.

The seer’s voice rose, the ancient words flowing like a river. The glow deepened, brightening until it filled the circle with light. My body ached, my heart pounding painfully in my chest.

Her lips parted slightly.

"Mama?" I whispered, my voice trembling.

Her fingers twitched against mine. Her eyelids fluttered, just for a moment.

"She hears you," the seer said urgently. "Push harder!"

Pain lanced through me as I poured every drop of my energy into her. The light from my hands pulsed faster, stronger—until it felt like the air itself was vibrating. My breathing grew ragged, my vision blurring.

Then—

A gasp.

Her chest rose sharply, and her eyes snapped open, wild and confused.

My tears spilled freely as I leaned closer. "It’s me, Mama."

She blinked up at me, her lips trembling as if trying to form words. The seer’s voice softened. "She’s back... but weak. You must let her rest."

I nodded and held the shocked and confused gaze of my mother. She stared at me as if she was seeing a ghost, but even in that confused state, I could see the look of reconciliation in her eyes.

"Mom... it’s me... can you hear me?" I asked.

"Olivia... let her speak on her own..." the seer advised gently.

I swallowed hard and nodded, my gaze still on her. My mother’s gaze drifted past me, scanning the room before settling on the seer. Her brows furrowed, puzzled, then slowly—tremulously—she began to sit up.

My heart pounded as I watched, unsure if she would recognize me. Then her gaze returned to mine, and a soft, weary smile bloomed across her face.

"It’s you," she whispered, her voice shaky.

Tears gathered in my eyes as I nodded and took her hands in mine again.

"Yes, Mother... it’s me... your daughter... Olivia."

Her eyes, those eyes that looked exactly like mine, lit up with a soft glow as tears gradually gathered in them. Her lips trembled, and then, with a sudden burst of emotion, she reached for me.

Before I could even breathe, her arms wrapped tightly around me, pulling me into her frail but desperate embrace.

"I finally... meet you," she whispered against my ear, her voice shaking with a mix of disbelief and overwhelming love.

I broke. Completely.

"I’m here now," I said fiercely, pulling back just enough to look into her teary eyes. "And I’m neverleaving again." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
