Aurelia had a newborn baby in her arms and Hendrick was beside her. She was smiling contentedly while people congratulated them continuously on the birth of their son.
"She looks happy, everything seems to be fine. I'm really not seeing the consequence of their wish," I blurted out before I could stop myself.
"You should be patient. Everything in life has its own natural order. I can see you're really enjoying your ability to speak. Just be careful not to misuse it too much," Voithós said in a light tone. I clenched my fists in anger, but Kayden held my hand, and I felt my anger instantly disappear. How is it possible that only he has the power to change my mood even with the slightest of gestures or contact?
"You don't have to be so strict. She didn't say anything wrong; she was just asking questions." Kayden defended me, and a smile lit my face.
"I never said she was doing something wrong. I only said to be careful with the ability she has been granted. Selene seems to consider her special for some reason and that's the reason the both of you are getting a private tour into history. The least you can do is keep quiet and let me do the talking," Voithós said so calmly and sweetly that his words directly contrasted his tone. His words didn't even sound offensive, but I knew it would be better to keep my mouth shut until we were done with all of this.
"I'm sorry," I apologized. "There's really no need to apologize, but apology accepted," he said, and I rolled my eyes. Haughty, much?
We were teleported to the next scene, and it was when their son, Daniel, found his mate. The final scene was when Daniel's mate, Elizabeth, was in labor.
Elizabeth gave birth to her child successfully, but her baby girl was born blind, and that's when I finally understood what Voithós meant. Goddess Selene wasn't inclined to do us favors; every blessing we receive is given as a reward for our hard work, and the same thing seems to go for a wish.
