Finding about mates

I opened my eyes slowly and I am still in the classroom and no one has found me in this state. It is a single room turned into a classroom and no one really visits this room other than me and the kids.

My body is so sore from all the burning and pain, I groaned lifting my body into a sitting position. I don't know why it is happening to me and I really can't figure anything out. My head is blank and buzzing.

I balanced my body by taking support from the wall and sat moving my knees close to my chest. I need a peaceful and painless moment to wrap my mind around everything.

I know a spell that will help to ease my aching body but I don't even have the energy to ease the aching. I closed my eyes and took a lungful of air and opened them ready to use some spell to heal my body.

"Ferula" I placed my hands on the parts where it was aching and chanted the healing spell and in no time all the aching eased and I felt alive.

I stood up from the ground dusting my skirt and took my bag from the table and took steps towards the door and opened it. There was no one in sight and I stepped outside and took the way to the library.

I will reach the library in nearly five minutes. There are so many thoughts in my head and I don't know which to concentrate on. I healed my aching body but I couldn't heal my headache which is so massive.

When I opened the door to the library there was no one other than the old lady who looked after it. The library is so old and very large with so many books and one can get information on everything. This is my best option to find everything.

" Hello, Miss Sofia!" I greeted her and she gave me a smile and a wave in greeting. She never married and had no children and she practically lives in the library.

" I will be in for one-two hour probably, is it okay with you?" I asked her.

" Yes, Sweetie! You can stay here as long as you want. I don't have any problem with it." I thanked her and turned around to explore the library and find some answers.

I went to the first aisle of the books and went through it just scanning the title and not taking out the books as they are not of use for me now. I did this for almost all of the aisles and only one aisle is left in the corner at the end of the library.

I want to first know about mates which have been nagging me from the time I heard it in my vision. I know my first priority should be about the attacks my body is having but Mates is the word that comes upfront in my head making my headache worse.

It is a huge aisle with a lot of books and it mostly consists of werewolf history. I will get to know about mates in their history only and I may find my answers here. I glided my fingers through the spines of the books and my fingers stopped at the title of the book I am looking for.

I slowly removed the book from the aisle carefully enough to not damage the old book. When I opened the book I was instantly hit with the scent of paper and it weirdly calmed me. I am never a fan of books as I always spend my time gardening and experimenting with spells.

I skimmed through the pages and it mostly requires information about how a werewolf is destined to get a mate and they will be connected by their souls and become one. The Moon goddess is the one who pairs up mates. They will get to know their mates by having eye contact, smell, and physical contact.

Once a werewolf finds his/her mate they can't even look at anyone or think about them romantically. Mates are for eternity.

Every single piece of my information is making me curious and excited to know more and my heart leaps at the thought of having a mate who will love me with all his heart, soul, and body. Unfortunately for Witches, we don't have mates.

My eyes stopped at the word "Infidelity" and I skimmed my eyes down the page and my eyes widened at the words on the page. If one of the mates cheats on his/her mate then the other mate will know it immediately as they will feel everything physically the entire time they are with someone else.

My body stilled when I stopped at the words glaring back at me. The things the cheated mate will suffer while his/her mate is cheating were the burning of the body like it's on fire, the stomach feeling like it's been stabbed again and again mercilessly.

If these are the symptoms of cheating by one's mate then why am I suffering when I don't have a mate? Nothing is making sense and my head feels like it will burst any minute. I stood up shakily supporting the aisle, I didn't even know when I sat down on the ground. I pick up the book and took it with me to the front so I could take it with me home.

I can't read anymore now as my head is throbbing and I don't have energy left in my body. I noted down in the register that I was taking the book and left the library. I don't even have the energy to walk home so I closed my eyes and imagined my home and clicked my fingers to teleport there. In a second I was standing in my room.

I hid the book in my closet and plopped my body on the bed to get much-needed sleep after the shocking revelations and the incident of the morning. I can get information properly when I wake up and read the book some more until then I will be saying goodbye to the world for some time. Sleep occupied me the second my eyes closed.
