Mated to Four Alphas-Chapter 199: Velric is sick - 6

Silas’s POV

When I had seen that ghost, I was really freaked out that I passed out. And when I opened my eyes, I saw Theron beside me. Seeing him, I sigh in relief.

That’s why I hugged him tightly. And when I saw Velric, he was fit and fine. Seeing that, I was so happy. And now that we are sitting in the living room and everything seems fine...

Then I noticed Damon, who has been looking at me since earlier. I know, even though I haven’t glanced back at him.

But I’m still shocked about how Theron can do all this.

That’s what I asked him.

"Silas, don’t worry about anything. You just passed out. It means you’re taking too much tension. Just calm yourself down. Everything is fine now." Theron said

Yeah, Velric doesn’t have any more fever and he’s looking fine, which means everything is fine. I shouldn’t take too much tension.

But what if something like this happens again? And as Damon said, it was black magic.

And as far as I know, no one can do black magic unless they are near us, or they have something that’s a part of us, like clothes, hair, etc.

I haven’t forgiven Damon yet, nor will I, but this is something about Velric — which is why I need to talk to him.

That’s when I glanced at him and found he was already looking at me, as I had guessed.

" Damon, can you tell me how you found out that it was black magic on Velric? Because I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to find that out just by looking at him. And you said that you saw black aura coming out from Velric, but I didn’t see anything."

Of course I would ask these questions — it’s not like he has divine eyes that can see all the bad things and black aura.

"I can sense dark energy. Even if it’s near us or inside someone, I can sense it. And see that black aura too. And talking about black aura, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it coming from someone unless it’s black magic — as far as I know."

"But who did this to Velric?" I asked.

"This is what I wanted to ask you. Did he go anywhere strange? Like an abandoned building? Or maybe you were just passing by one, and this kid was kept staring at it — something like that?"

"Damon, do you think we were shooting a horror scene that we would pass by an abandoned building? Do you think I’m a fool? Why would I have passed by an abandoned building with a child, when I myself am scared of the dark? And ghosts?"

Did he even realize what he’s saying? And why would Velric go to an abandoned building, man? Just thinking about it is making me... shiver. And just then, Theron said—

"Wait, you went back to your pack, and Velric fell sick. Did you encounter something unusual? Like they gave Velric something to eat to make him fall sick, or did something strange happen?"

"No, nothing like that happened. In fact, as soon as we stepped into the mansion, he started getting a fever. He didn’t eat anything, he didn’t meet anyone. We just encountered Ciel, who was greeting me and... yes, my friend from childhood. He was with us in the taxi."

"Your friend? Which friend are you talking about? How come I don’t know anything about him?" Theron raised his eyebrow while asking

"His name is Van. He’s my friend from childhood and he’s a priest now. We met by chance on the way. He was also going to my mother’s anniversary because Father had called him to perform the ritual for her death anniversary."

"So, when he sat inside the car, did something strange happen? Like, did he sit beside Velric or beside you? Try to remember," Theron asked.

Wait a second. Now that I think about it, I do find it strange. Because Velric was fine before Van came inside the taxi.

And as soon as he got in and sat beside Velric, he started to feel uncomfortable.

And I thought Velric was just a shy person who feels uncomfortable around strangers. But, I guess I was wrong.

And when I put him by the window and was talking to Van, Velric was clinging onto my back.

I think now he wanted to tell me how uncomfortable he was feeling, and that he was getting a fever — but he wasn’t able to say anything to me.

He just hugged me when he was feeling bad, miserable. And what kind of terrible person am I that I couldn’t even guess that he wasn’t well?

That he was unwell. Now I’m feeling more guilty. And did Van really do something to Velric?

Because the moment he sat inside, that’s when Velric started to feel unwell.

But he only sat inside — he didn’t even touch Velric. I didn’t see him do anything either. Then what happened? I don’t understand now.

Did I miss something? But I was right beside him — how could I miss something?

"Silas, don’t pressure yourself."

As I heard it, I snapped out of my thoughts and glanced — it was Damon, who was telling me this.

"Van didn’t do anything. He’s a priest. How could someone like that do such a thing? But I can’t say that I fully trust Van either. Who knows if he really did it or not." i mutter

Just then, Velric tapped on my hand and my attention went to him.

"Yes, baby?"

"Mumma... why are you looking so worried? Are you unwell? Is it because of me? Or... are you also scared of those ghosts?"

He said while pointing his fingers at the door of the room where we had seen the ghost earlier.

"Wait, Velric... are you able to see those ghosts now too?"

I asked, because there wa nothing there now. So when he pointed his finger at the room, I flinched and asked.
