Chapter 141
Jenna nodded, understanding Miles concern. “I know, Miles, I understand your reservations, but right now, our priority is to find a way to help Alexia. Axiel claims to have information that could lead us to Seraphina, and in this moment, I’m willing to accept help from wherever it comes
Miles sighed, his expression conflicted. He couldn’t deny the truth in Jenna’s words. The love he had for his sister and the desperate need to see Alexia recover outweighed his personal feelings towards Axiel.
Jenna, I may not trust Axiel, but I trust you,” he said finally, his voice filled with sincerity. “If you believe that his information can lead us to Seraphina and help Alexia, then I’m willing to put aside my personal opinions for now. We’ll do whatever it takes to bring Alexia back to us.”
Jenna’s eyes softened with gratitude, appreciating Miles willingness to set aside his own reservations for the sake of their sister. She reached out and squeezed his hand gently, a silent acknowledgment of their shared determination.
“Thank you. Miles, Jenna whispered, her voice filled with emotion. “I know this isn’t easy for you, but your support means. the world to me. Together, we’ll navigate this journey and find the healing Alexia needs.”
Yes! Miles was beyond desperate. In that case, he would accept help from even the devil himself. That was how desperate he was. He would do anything.
Miles and Axiel stood together, a sense of tension lingering in the air. As Jenna excused herself momentarily, leaving the two men alone. Miles felt a surge of protective instincts welling up within him. He looked at Axiel squarely in the eyes, his voice laced with a firm determination.
“Axiel,” he began, his tone edged with a warning. “I need you to understand something very clearly. If you hurt my sister, Jenna, in any way, I won’t hesitate to make sure you pay the consequences. I will protect her with everything I have.”
Axiel met Miles gaze, his expression serious as he acknowledged the intensity behind Miles words. He knew the depth of Miles love and loyalty to Jenna, and he had no intentions of causing her any harm.
“Miles, I want you to know that I care about Jenna deeply, Axiel responded, his voice filled with sincerity. “I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her. I understand the gravity of your warning, and I promise to do everything in my power to ensure her safety.”
Miles‘ eyes bore into Axiel’s, searching for any signs of deception or ill intentions. After a moment, he nodded, acknowledging Axiel’s response.
Tm holding you to that, Axiel, Miles asserted firmly. “Jenna has been through enough pain already. We’re putting our trust in you because we believe in the love you share with her. Don’t give me a reason to doubt that.”
Axiel’s expression softened, his gaze filled with a mixture of gratitude and determination. “I won’t let you down, Miles. I’ll protect Jenna with everything I have, just as you would.”
As Jenna rejoined them, the duo pretended that they didn’t have the confrontation they had minutes ago. Like everything
was normal.
Then, Axiel led Miles and Jenna through the path in the forest, their journey was marked by playful banter and flirtatious exchanges. Axiel’s charm was on full display, accompanied by Jenna’s coy smiles and occasional laughter. Miles, on the other hand, couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Axiel’s persistent flirting.
-Miles said sarcastically, “Axiel, do you ever stop with the smooth talk? We’re on a serious quest here, in case you forgot.”
Axiel returned, grinning. “Oh, come on, Miles. Can’t I have a little fun along the way? Life is too short to be serious all the
time.
Jenna added, giggling, “Miles, don’t be such a killjoy. Axiel’s just trying to keep our spirits up.”

Miles sighed. “I understand that, Jenna, but can’t he focus on the task at hand? We’re searching for Seraphina to save Alexia, remember?
Axiel added, playfully sensing the tension in the atmosphere. “Relax, Miles. We’ll find Seraphina soon enough. But in the meantime, why not enjoy the journey and make it a little more interesting?”
Miles grumbled in response. “I didn’t sign up for a romantic comedy. We need to stay focused and find a way to help Alexia.” Jenna smiled in return. “Miles, Axiel has a point. Laughter and lightness can sometimes bring us clarity and strength.”
Miles finally relented. “Fine, but let’s not get too carried away. We have a mission to accomplish, and time is of the essence.”
Their journey continued with the familiar interplay of Axiel’s charming remarks and Jenna’s playful responses. Miles couldn’t deny that amidst his annoyance, there was a certain energy that flowed between them, a connection that transcended their differences.
As they ventured deeper into the mystical forest, the atmosphere seemed to respond to their banter. The leaves whispered secrets, and the wind carried their laughter like a melodious tune.
As the trio continued their journey through the mystical forest, their eyes were met with a peculiar sight. In a clearing ahead, a figure stood, cloaked in an aura of mystic energy. Axiel’s eyes widened, recognizing the figure as Seraphina, the renowned witch they had been seeking.
Axiel whispered to then both. “Look, there she is. Seraphina, the one we’ve been searching for.”
Miles‘ gaze shifted from the intriguing figure to Jenna, who had instinctively reached out and clutched Axiel’s arm, a mixture of excitement and nervousness evident on her face. It was a sight that made Miles feel uneasy, stirring a sense of protectiveness within him.
Miles interrupted, clearing his throat. “Jenna, we should approach Seraphina with caution. Remember, we don’t fully know what to expect from her.”
Jenna was startled, releasing her grip, she said, “Oh, right. Sorry, I got carried away. Let’s proceed carefully.”
Axiel’s presence exuded confidence, his arm gently disengaging from Jenna’s grasp as he took a step forward. Miles observed the interaction, a flicker of discomfort crossing his expression. He reminded himself to trust in Jenna’s judgment and to set aşide his personal feelings.
The trio approached Seraphina cautiously, her wise eyes peering through the folds of her cloak. Her presence radiated both power and serenity, captivating them as they stood before her.
Seraphina welcomed them in a soothing voice.” Welcome, travelers. I have been expecting you. What brings you to my realm?”
Miles responded respectfully, “Seraphina, we seek your guidance and assistance. Our mate, Alexia, has been poisoned, and we need your help to find a cure.”
Seraphina nodded. The forces of destiny have guided you here. I sense the urgency in your hearts. Come, let us discuss the details of your quest.
As they engaged in conversation with Seraphina, Miles couldn’t shake the unease that lingered within him. He watched Jenna’s expression soften as she listened intently to Seraphina’s words, her trust in the witch evident. It was a reminder to Miles that his protective instincts should not cloud his judgment.
Seraphina said, in a wise voice “The path ahead leads to the Veil of Whispers, a mysterious place with challenges and tests. You’ll face illusions and puzzles that will challenge your mind and spirit. There, you will find the antidote to your mate’s Wolfsbane poison.”
Miles listened carefully. “What kind of challenges are we going to encounter in the Veil?”
