Alpha’s Rejected Mate Returns as Queen - Chapter 185

185 Returning To The Rocky Mountains

Selma Payne’s POV:

My father was still working in the study, and only my mother was reading under the light in the bedroom.

“Mother! Dorothy is in trouble!” I said breathlessly, “There’s a strange fluctuation between her and my mind link. I’m sure there’s something wrong with her mental state.”

My mother put down the book in surprise and said, “Take a breath, child. How do you know? Did you have a nightmare?”

“No, I swear it’s true. For the past few days, I’ve been communicating with Dorothy every night before I went to bed, and she would always say good night to me before ending it. But today, not only did she not do so, she even sent me an abnormal fluctuation that made me feel uncomfortable. I can’t tell what the problem is, but it’s obvious that Dorothy has fallen into a coma and can’t control his mental state!”

My mother chose to believe me, so we went to the study to explain the situation to my father.

Due to the inconvenience of communication with the uninhabited Rocky Mountains, there was an unavoidable delay in communication between the palace and the various bases. My father had not received any news from the ruins of the witch clan.

I wasn’t sure if I was too fast or if they had not noticed Dorothy’s abnormality.

…..
After learning about this, my father immediately activated the emergency communication channel. Ten minutes later, Master Kevin sent back a message. Dorothy had been attacked by unknown sorcery. Her spiritual domain had been sealed, and it was currently producing extremely unstable vibrations.

The changes were too drastic. From the looks of it, if the problem could not be resolved quickly, Dorothy’s mental domain would be destroyed in less than twenty-four hours. Even if she survived, she would become a lunatic for the rest of her life.

I was shocked when I heard the news and immediately wanted to rush to the Rocky Mountains.

Of course, my parents did not agree. “Calm down first, Selma. There are currently unknown threats in the ruins of the witch clan. It’s too dangerous. We can’t let you take the risk.”

“But what about Dorothy? She will die!”

“No, Dorothy will be safe with the werewolf grandmasters watching over her.”

“Don’t try to fool me, Father. If the werewolf grandmasters had a way, they wouldn’t have announced Dorothy’s life in such a helpless tone!”

My mother frowned and said worriedly, “We don’t want to see Dorothy in danger either, but we’re even more unwilling to let you be in danger. Besides, what can you do even if you go? You don’t know sorcery, and if even the werewolf grandmasters can’t solve the problem, you won’t be able to either.”

“I have a way, and I can guarantee that I can save Dorothy.” I retorted, “Have you forgotten about New Flow? I can completely devour the curse that attacked Dorothy. Without the interference of the curse, her spiritual domain will naturally calm down.”

“But the side effects…”

I could freely control my power to break it down. You’ve already seen it. It doesn’t affect me at all.”

This time, both my parents were silent.

I continued, “Let me go. Father, Mother, Dorothy is my friend, comrade, and follower. Didn’t you always teach me that I should be responsible for everything as a leader? Now that Dorothy is in danger, and I have the ability to save her, how can I watch her lose her life for nothing?”

Under my repeated insistence, my parents had no choice but to agree.

“The plane will be ready in an hour. Go pack your luggage immediately,” my father said. “I will get a team of warriors to accompany you. Master Hayley and Aldrich will need time to prepare and will leave tomorrow morning.

I quickly packed my luggage. As I had been planning to return to the Rocky Mountains, I didn’t move much of my luggage, so it was ready very quickly.

“Be careful.”

My mother’s hair was gently swaying with the night wind, scattering around her worried eyes.

“I will.”

I exchanged a kiss with my parents and left on the plane.

When they arrived at the corner of the Rocky Mountains, Dorothy had less than twenty hours left. Frank, who came to pick us up, immediately led us up the mountain without saying a word. We only stopped at the three bases for about ten minutes to replenish our supplies.

By the time we arrived at the ruins of the witch clan, we were all exhausted.

The sun was high up in the sky, and I could not be bothered to rest. I immediately went to check on Dorothy’s condition.

She was lying in her sleeping bag like Sleeping Beauty. Her face was calm, and her cheeks were rosy. If I hadn’t been able to detect her chaotic mental domain, which was like a tornado passing through, I would have thought that she was sleeping.

“The curse is gradually affecting her soul,” Master Kevin said. “If we miss the best time frame to save her, I predict her soul will undergo permanent changes.”

“What will happen?”

“I don’t know yet. From past examples, it’s either because of the distortion of the soul that she becomes a mentally deranged cripple or because of the mutation of the soul that she becomes a stranger.”

“A stranger?”

My heart immediately clenched.

Thinking about the unknown location of the devil’s seal and its loose condition, I couldn’t help but guess – could this be the doing of the devil’s seal, plundering Dorothy’s body as a carrier to escape?
