Chapter 129 - Fooled

"Oh no my princess did I do wrong?" She asked innocently.

I looked at her trying to control the rage I was feeling inside, "where... are... they?" I struggled to say keeping my voice down.

"That way," she said as I took off immediately to get the children, my heart shred thinking of what he might do to them.

My hands were shivering, as I struggle to keep my fears away and silence the voices in my head.

Leo notice my hands were trembling as he place his hands on them and we share an eye lock.

I walk at fast as I could, we run into Baby on the way, I let out a deep breath when I saw him, I wrapped my hands around his neck and hugs him tightly.

"Okay, I know you miss me but I'm here now," Baby mumbled hugging me back.

"What is it?" He whispered softly holding my face up as tears drop down my cheeks.

"One prince Nico is with the twin and she got like this," Leo explains, I lead the way as they follow behind.

We got to the garden and there weren't there now I couldn't hold back my tears, "I swear my lady, there were just here," Pana said nervously.

Where are my babies? I said holding my head.

"Who is this prince Nico?" Baby asked still can't understand my reaction, I ignored him and head back, Pana explains things to them as they tag behind.

I arrive at the cold palace, I push the door, I was surprised by what I saw.

Nico and the twin were playing and they looked excited, "Barbara, Barbie come to mummy now," I try not to scare them.

They look at Nico and smiled happily waving at him before running to me.

"Pana please take the twin back to their chamber and from today you are not allowed to go out alone with them," I mumbled as Pana lowers her gaze holding the twin's hand, and strode out of the room.

Maybe I was overreacting, Nico has fooled every one in the kingdom with his fake smiles.

"Relax I didn't bite them," Nico smirked getting down from the bed and walking towards me slowly.

"What! is that not the same guy I saw you with at the party?" Baby whimpers taking a closer look at his face.

"Yes and Nico you will stay the hell away from my kids!" I said as I close my eyes to fold a wave.

"Hey girl relax, don't forget I thought you everything you know," he smirks walking in circles when he got to the door he locks it with magic while Leo and Baby stand beside me.

"I should have never trusted you," I scowled.

"Yes you shouldn't have, it was so easy to fool you hahaha," he laugh out loud, what the hell is he talking about? he planned this all from the start.

"I wanted to rule the seven kingdoms but I was treated as a traitor instead they prefer a stupid weak human over me," he let out a chuckle, was I the weak human he is referring to?

"I wanted to show them how wrong there were to choose a human to be the goddess the link and bridge between humans and those from the moon," he chuckled as he continues to speak leaving everyone in a daze.

"When I approached you I wanted to use you to go back to the moon and you made it so easy for me but guess what? I want to stay here, I didn't know it will be this fun to live among humans now I want everything, I want to rule this lands," he pouts accompanied by a burst of evil laughter.

Now everything was making sense, why couldn't I detect this? I thought folding my fist.

"I will not let you have your way Nicobolmo!" I howl fuming in anger partially angry at myself for being a fool.

He laughed out loud, "I'm going to show you what I mean, so among the two select one," he said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"You are out of your mind!" I howl closing my eyes to concentrate, a strong wind starts to blow.

He spreads out his wings crossings his arms on his chest and breaks it with force, making me fall back, Baby and Leo try to attack him at once.

"Stupid!" He yells as he holds both of them in the air.

"Watch how things are going to be Nancy, from now on," he smirks as Leo and Baby groan in pain.

"No, no! Stop please!" I cried trying to get up from the floor.

Burning with rage within me, my hands coiled back as my eyes enlarged with my chest out and my head up release hue of light this time I was in control.

He quickly let go of them as they fall to the ground.

I run over to them, "are you guys okay?" I asked.

Just then Nico throw a fireball at Baby it happen so fast, I didn't know how to block nor did I have the time to think, but used myself as the shield.

I shut my eyes covering Baby, a few seconds later I still didn't feel anything hitting me, oh what happened? I'm impenetrable I thought, I turned to Nico's evil laughter.

My eyes broadened up when I saw Leo laying on the floor in the pool of his own blood.

"No no no Leo," I cried kneeling beside him. "What did you do?" I sob as tears drops rolled down from his eyes.

I held his hand as it jiggles, "I told you... I.. will give my ...life for ...you," he struggled to say with a soft smile.

"Please no.." I cried.

"Remember how you saved me that night... how brave you were, you drag me into your car and took me home, I will miss those moments when you use to tell me everything thinking I was your pet..." Leo coughs yet kept talking as tears rolled down my cheek.

"Please hold me I... feel very cold.." he coughs blood as I hug him.

"Now... It's better.. I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore," he said as he took his final breath.

"No please Leo no..." I cried as Baby hugs me from behind.

"The next time it will be your precious kids, or your brother perhaps your dear alpha," he smirks and walks out.

It hurt so much to lose someone I love right in front of me and unable to do anything.

With all the powers I possess, I couldn't save him. "Don't blame yourself Nancy this is not your fault," Baby whispers holding my hand.

"How could I not," I let out I groan, he squeeze my hand gently as he walks out of the room. We need to prepare Leo for burial.

I wish I could turn back time and I wish I did something to prevent this from happening.

I was in a complete daze, I look down at Leo as I gently shut his eyes, as tears twinkle down my cheeks, I manage to get up on my feet covering his face with my outer jacket before leaving the room.

Each step I took was heavy as if something was holding me back, I could hardly breathe, holding my tears back and pulling myself together was breaking me down from inside.

"What happened? Whose blood is this?" Roland whimpered when I entered my chamber, I was looking fine obvious the blood on me wasn't mine.

"Talk to us Nancy why are you like this?" Betty added as they all gather around me.

"Leo is gone," I said still in a daze as they look confused.

"What do you mean by Leo is gone?" Betty asked.

"Leo is dead," I let out a groan closing my eyes as the tears continued to flow.

"What, how?" Mary-Anne asked confused.

Just then Baby had entered the room, I left my head slowly to look at him. "I have found a perfect place to burial Leo and I have sent a message to Ashley and the rest of the family members," Baby whispers, it means his brothers know they will have more reason to hate me, and yes they have the right to.

"Come let me help you change from these clothes first," Betty said as she pulls me out of everyone's sight.

I could only go back to that moment over again trying hard to reverse time, I guess I'm not that powerful.

Later in the evening, we prepared a burial service for Leo, he was led to rest under a fig tree, Everyone had their turn to say goodbye to him.

"We never agree on anything but now I wish you were here, rest well Leo," Roland whimpers laying the rose in his grave.

"Rest well Leo we will miss you," Betty cried putting her flowers gently on the grave.

"You have been an amazing friend and companion and well and excellent pet," I whimper with a soft smile remembering those times I thought he was my pet as Betty holds my shoulders.

"Rest well Leo, I will miss you and I make you this promise I will make him pay for this," I groan as the tears won't stop flowing.

Baby stands beside me holding me in his arms, I lay the flowers down on the grave.

It was a short period but I made sure he had a proper burial.

We head back to the palace now it was time, to tell the truth, I head to grandma's room as her personal maid tries to thwart me from going in.

I still did anyway, I sigh and took a deep breath, I am ready for her reaction, after all, I sided with the traitor.

Before things get worst or she finds out from someone else I should be the one to tell her.

"Grandma I have something to.." I said as I enter the room, I pause when I saw Zenab with her.

"Nancy, why are you standing by the door come here?" grandma said with a smile as she waves her hands in front of me.

Looking at her face I don't want I don't know how to start.

"What do you have to tell me, dear?" Grandma asked as I got mute all of a sudden.
