Let Me Find Your Omega - Ashe Moon Page 0,50

tail of a white snake. It dissipated when it hit the leaves of my fig tree and spread through the room, filling the space with its enchanting scent. I sat down across from Markos and took his hands in mine. I wanted to kiss him and get his body against mine again, but I resisted the urge and instead rested my forehead against his. He took a few deep breaths.

“Ready?” I asked.

“Let’s do it.”

“Shift into your wolf form,” I instructed.

A moment later, I felt his fur push against my forehead and his hands morph into paws. Soon he was sitting across from me fully shifted, his eyes closed. I fetched my floor desk and a divination paper and closed my eyes, my pen hovering above the empty page.

I felt the rhythmic pulse of my heart, and it was soon joined by his. Blackness all around—until the glowing river of the spectral realm slowly appeared. I dove into it, pulling him with me, and waded my way into his galaxy. Blackness became a grey haze. What was he going to show me? Sometimes, fortunes appeared as star signs that needed intense study to be interpreted. Other times I could see imagery, like dreams.

I lowered my pen. No star signs.

In the haze, I could make out a faded silhouette, a person… They were standing in… Was it a room? I couldn’t tell. It was like looking at a fuzzy image on an old TV screen. I tried to focus my energy, to bring everything into view like I normally could, but it felt like the harder I tried, the further the image got away from me. I was standing in a room filled with fog, so close to catching a glimpse of what was there.

Why couldn’t I see it? Was Markos’s fortune that obscured?

I pulled my wolf form forward and shifted—not something I always did for a reading, but I knew it would give me the extra power I needed to figure this out. The fog cleared. The room was draped in moonlight, but I still couldn’t make out where exactly I was. I could still see the shape of that person, just their silhouette, and everything continued to drift further and further away. In my mind, I ran forward, trying to close the distance. If I could just see what was there…

But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get the vision into focus.

How was this possible? This had never happened to me before.

All my focus, all of my energy was directed into seeing through the fog and materializing the full vision. I was nearing the limits of my stamina, straining with every bit of ability I had. It was like I was stuck at the entrance of it, at a stage that should’ve been easy to move past. But I just couldn’t.

The spectral realm pulled away from me, and I found myself dumped back into my body. I was in human form again, panting to catch my breath. Sweat immediately dotted my skin. Markos opened his eyes.

“Are you okay?” he asked, shifting to human form. He grabbed my hands and touched my forehead.

“I’m fine,” I said, nodding. My heart was racing.

“What did you see?”

“I saw…” I stared at the blank divination paper on the floor desk in front of me. “I don’t know. I couldn’t… I couldn’t make it out.”

“Oh,” he said. He sounded both relieved and disappointed. “I guess my future is meant to be a mystery, huh?”

“I couldn’t make it out,” I repeated. “I saw something, but… I don’t know why I couldn’t make it out.”

“Well, you said not everyone has a fortune to be told. Not everyone has a fated mate, right? Yeah, I’m not so surprised. I had a hunch that was how things would turn out.” He laughed, but I could tell he was hoping to hear something else.

“I saw something, though,” I said. “I just don’t know what I saw. I couldn’t resolve it.”

“That’s alright. I guess that just means I’m not meant to know. The mystery continues, right?”

“No, you don’t understand,” I blurted. “I should’ve been able to see it.”

He stared back at me, mouth hanging half-open, and I quickly collected myself and stood up.

“Tea,” I said, forcing a smile. “Oh, and the food you brought. After all of that exertion, I could use something to eat.”

“Sure,” he said. “I’m starving. You sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine,” I said, buttoning up my shirt and sliding my glasses onto my nose.

He came over
