I let go of her hand, my own heart beating as I looked at the woman who had become my best friend.
“Mom…” Raihana said softly.
It was Maria who closed the gap between them and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“I am so sorry. I know it won’t take away what I did, but I’m so sorry, Ya Habibty,” she said, kissing her daughter’s cheek.
Raihana broke into tears, hugging her mom tightly. My own tears stung my eyes – a mother’s love… My mother came to my mind, and instantly, Rayhan hugged me tightly as if shielding me from everything. I closed my eyes, calming myself.
“Delsanra,” Maria’s voice made my eyes open.
Rayhan slowly released me, and I turned toward his mother. Raihana was hugging Papa Raf as I looked into the grey eyes of Rayhan’s mother.
“Welcome home, Delsanra.”
“Thank you,” I said, as she hugged me tightly.
“I am sorry,” she said softly in my ear.
“It’s okay.”
I hugged her back. I was glad she was ready to accept us. Even if it took time, or even if it took even longer, Raihana and I would show her that we were not evil like those witches that killed her loved ones. We moved apart, and Papa Raf enveloped me in a big hug.
“I am glad you are home!” he exclaimed, smiling down at me. I smiled.
“I am too.”
I heard Maria asking Rayhan for forgiveness, too. I turned and watched him hug his mother, a soft smile on his face. God, he was handsome.
“You’re not mad at me, are you?” Maria asked him.
“How can I stay mad at the woman who brought me onto this earth?” Rayhan asked softly, kissing his mother’s head.
“Oh, you can if she ends up being a fucking psycho,” the King muttered to Papa Raf.
“Well, Endora was… a rare evil species…” he replied as we all walked inside.
“So, her link to Raihana is broken. Is there any chance she can come back?” Maria asked, the worry still clear in her voice.
“No. I made sure to send her to hell. There is no way she can return any longer. Raihana gave up the link to her witch ancestors. No one can summon Endora anymore. I made sure of it,” I said firmly.
“I guess the Rossi men needed mates who could deal with Endora,” Raihana remarked. I smiled, knowing how Kiara had played a huge part in that battle.
“Well, all of you go get dressed into something pretty. I have had a delicious meal prepared,” Maria saidgently.
“I can’t wait to bathe!” Raihana said, and she was gone in a flash.
“I think we won’t see her for at least two hours,” Rayhan remarked.
“Probably not. Let’s say dinner in two hours then?” Papa Raf said. Rayhan smirked.
“Perfect,” he replied before pulling me up the stairs, leaving the two brothers chuckling. My cheeks burned.
“Rayhan!” I hissed.
“What? I just want to actually be alone with you,” he said, as he opened the bedroom door. He pulled me in, kicked it shut and pushed me up against it. I smiled seductively.
“Oh really? Why?” I asked, batting my lashes innocently. He smirked.
