Chapter 25 Elemental Magic

Io

Kiaria had powers and even as a beginner her strength was immense.

She walked past the yellow tape, all the way to the building like no one even saw her. I thought I was going to die from a panic attack if it weren't for my wolf telling me Selene said there was nothing to worry about. If Kiaria willed it, it would happen.

Then after an hour, I saw Kiaria and Winston come out of the building. I was so relieved nothing had happened to her. I had thought she had completed her quest and would walk back to where she left me and Marcus, but she waved at her father and gestured to call someone before going back inside the bank through the main entrance while her father was escorted into a dark van parked infront of his building.

I wanted to rip the heads of the police officers for just standing around, obviously doing nothing to take down the thieves. When a sudden noise of glass shattering into pieces was heard, the police officer, who was in charge of keeping the people back, ducked and covered his head. Such a coward.

"What's happening at the Wright's?" A blonde young lady asked from behind me.

"There's a robbery at the bank," I answered. "You look familiar. Have we met?" I asked.

"Michelle, remember? You're Kiaria's friend, right?" She looked at me and smiled. I nodded my head. "Where's Kiaria?"

"She's uhm..." I struggled to answer her question when, suddenly, a streak of lightning split the dark sky. I looked up towards the heavens and noticed the moon that was shining just a moment ago was now covered by dark clouds. Thunder rumbled after the flash of lightning causing the glass of the windows to vibrate and the ground to shake.

"Wow! The sky looks like it's going to unleash its anger any moment. I gotta go. I don't wanna get drenched. Bye!" And just like that, Michelle quickly made her way back through the crowd while I stayed behind with Marcus.

"Alpha, the storm seems to be upon us. The streaks of lightning are surrounding the building," Marcus said, pointing to the little flickers of light spreading through the dark clouds looming above us. The cool autumn breeze had suddenly become a powerful wind, swirling around us, carrying with it dust, debris, and anything lying in its path.

I checked my phone for the weather forecast and it read clear skies. It was strange. If there would be a change in the weather, it would not be as murderous as it was at the moment.

A flash of lightning hit the building causing the nearest windows to shatter and break. The electricity went out throughout the building including the lights of the nearby lamp posts. The crowd of people ran for cover, screaming, but the sounds of their screams were drowned out from the sudden torrent of rain that gushed down so angrily.

Marcus and I stood in the rain, waiting. The police officers around the building were still in place even if they were dangerously close to the flickers of lightning that continued to gain momentum before striking the ground below.

"Alpha, the High Priestess Celeste had the gift of the Elements. She could bend the forces of nature to her will, one being the weather. I fear, Alpha, the Luna...she is very angry."

"Marcus, are you saying this storm is because of Kiaria?" I asked, bewildered. She had only become a bona-fide wolf yesterday. She was only beginning to tap into her gifts. If she could do this now as a beginner, what will happen when she becomes skilled in her craft?

"Yes, Alpha. One thing about elemental magic, it begins with emotions. Luna is angry and so the weather reflects what she is feeling. I pity the thieves who have angered her. They will not survive lightning," Marcus said, matter-of-factly. "No need to worry, Alpha. Luna is quite capable. However, I would suggest to never get her jealous. We don't know how she'll react."

Another streak of lighting zipped down again, hitting the building. This time all the windows in the front shattered. Thunder rumbled almost immediately after it had struck. I watched as the blinds swayed, hoping I could get a glimpse of what was happening inside. While it was chaotic outside, it was so quiet inside. It was quite unsettling.

Suddenly, the doors of the main entrance of the bank opened and one by one, men were thrown out like pieces of garbage. Shockingly, all of them were utterly and completely naked.

To the crowd's delight, the rain finally stopped and the clouds moved to show the moon. The people once again gathered around the yellow police tape.

To the utter horror of the naked men, the moonlight shone on them. They all quickly laid flat on the wet pavement to hide their penises.

The crowd of people were laughing and pointing at the men. Well, if they didn't get convicted for robbing a bank, at least they'll be locked up for indecent exposure.

The police officers immediately handcuffed the naked men and the SWAT Officers rushed inside the building. Soon, people emerged from the building, one of them, looking scared and harassed, was Kiaria. Winston ran out of the van and wrapped her in his arms. The crowd, upon seeing the exchange between father and daughter, burst into applause.

I slid under the yellow tape and ran to them. I didn't care if the police were yelling for me to stop. I just had to get to Kiaria. She saw me and ran into my outstretched arms. I hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go.

"You will under any circumstances never do that again without me. You practically gave me a heart attack," I whispered in her ear. "So tell me, what happened to all their clothes?"

She lifted her head from my shoulder and smiled mischievously. "I wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine," she answered. I gave her a puzzled look, not quite understanding what she meant. She shrugged her shoulders. "They assaulted the women hostages, practically ripped their clothes to shreds. I just wanted to return the favor."

I looked over her head and I saw several female officers placing towels over the female hostages whose clothes were torn. So this wasn't just a regular heist. The thieves were also sex offenders.

"So, do you know who the mastermind of this money heist is?" I asked her.

"They have a boss named Magnus," she replied. Marcus gasped behind us while I kept a straight face.

"So they are rogues." I turned to Marcus and gave him my phone. "Marcus call the High Elder before these mongrels escape. The rogues should be placed in a detention cell of silver and the only one who has the capability to do that is the High Elder." Marcus nodded his head and proceeded to make the call.

"Alpha, the High Elder." Marcus handed me my phone while Winston took Kiaria to his side to speak with Sakura on Kiaria's phone.

"High Elder Alfred Evans, it is I, Alpha Io Hemming. I have a delicate matter to discuss with you. It is imperative something be done," I said.

"If this is about your Mating Ceremony, Alpha Hemming, I will be officiating it on Sunday," he said.

"That's great news, High Elder. However, that is not why I have called. There was an attempted robbery at Winston Wright's bank here in Montana. All the suspects have been apprehended, however it has come to my knowledge they are all rogues," I explained.

"Rogues? Are you certain?" The High Elder asked.

"Yes, High Elder. My soon to be Luna was the one who apprehended all the rogues," I said. There was a moment of silence.

"Are the press there? Have they taken a photo or a video of her?" He asked.

"I would suspect yes," I replied.

"I will be flying to Montana now. Please expect me at the Moonlight Palace around midnight," he said and hung up.

The High Elder will be flying here to meet Kiaria. I was speechless. The High Elder only did this one other time...when he went to see Magnus or so I've heard.

"Eveything alright? You look like you've seen a ghost," Kiaria said. I blinked, shook my head and smiled at her.

"There is an important person who will be flying in tonight," I said. I looked at Winston who was trying to console Sakura. "Everything alright at your end?"

"Mom is in hysterics. She'll meet us down at the police station. I hope your parents won't mind waiting," Kiaria said. My parents! I almost forgot.

"Marcus, any word on my parents and the men?" I asked.

Marcus took out his phone and shook his head.

"No word yet, Alpha. It's still early. I think they will be arriving at 9PM."

"Good. We have enough time. Come on, we'll go to the police station so they can take your statement." I looked at Winston and Kiaria. "Winston, Kiaria didn't help you. And you Kiaria, you were downstairs hiding from the thieves. Let's ride in my car so you can get your stories straight."

__________

High Elder

I dialed the number of Professor Johnson. He was an old friend, a wolf mage, who I had sent to Montana when I saw Kiaria Wright on the news helping victims of the forest fires a few years back. She was a splitting image of her mother with the same golden eyes.

At first, Professor Johnson said there was nothing remarkable about Kiaria, that she just looked like Celeste. He said he suspected she was human for she did not have a characteristic wolf scent. However, he did praise her for her good grades and humble demeanor even though she was the daughter of a very wealthy man.

That all changed when he saw the locket and Io Hemming at the University, the day after her eighteenth birthday. He confirmed Kiaria was indeed High Priestess Celeste's daughter, information that was more valuable than all the gold in the world.

"Yes. How may I be of service?" Professor Johnson said. We had a strict no name policy.

"I will be arriving in Montana. Have you been watching the news regarding the robbery?" I asked.

"Yes. She is on some footage however she appears to be a hostage."

"The thieves were rogues and she was the one who stopped them," I whispered.

"That just means he will be here soon," Professor Johnson said before sighing. "What do you propose we do?"

"Protect her at all costs," I answered.

    KiaraAfter the police took our statements, they allowed us to go home. They praised my father for his quick thinking and calm resolve while I was asked to join therapy sessions for post-traumatic stress disorder after being held hostage. Since I was bothered by that one rogue's untimely death, I toyed with the idea that I should go see a therapist.However, Selene argued I shouldn't feel guilty... that it was either him or my father. While I was waiting for my father to sign some documents for the police, I took a moment to imagine a different scenario, one where my dad was dead and the rogue wolf was alive. I wouldn't be here at the police station. Instead, I would be at a funeral home making arrangements while my mother would be seated in the car waiting for me, catatonic, broken and distraught. After burying my father, my mother would struggle to move on while I would live a life full of regret, constantly blaming myself for not doing what had to be done. My wolf was right. There

The High Elder would have said something to me," I answered. "But it is possible that he might be here. It could be the reason why the High Elder is flying out here tonight," my father said, his distress obvious in his voice. Even Kiaria began to look concerned."Father, let's calm down. We will know when the High Elder arrives," I said, looking at the wall clock. "He will be here soon.""Who is Magnus?

Everyone in the territory was preparing for tomorrow's Autumn Equinox celebration known as Mabon. I, myself, was supposed to be preparing for the Harvest Moon dinner but I was having contractions. I had thought it was Braxton Hicks contractions, but these contractions were bearing down on me within regular periods."It's too soon, Emma. She can't be coming yet. It's too soon." I started doing my breathing exercises so I could keep calm. I was two weeks shy of being seven months pregnant, so my shock when I began going into labor.Emma, my handmaiden helped me into my favorite rocking chair.

    Magnus"Stop destroying the contents of this house. I am planning to loot all their valuables and bring it to my estate." These witches have no idea how priceless most of the things are inside this house. High Priestess Celeste and her mate Alpha Blake have amassed a great deal of wealth over the years, profiting from Celeste's magic. She had asked for jewels, gold and rare gems from pack's who required her of her services. Many items in this mansion were antiques, precious heirlooms, given to her as payment for her protection charm. I wanted everything in this house, especially the contents of their vault."Magnus, you must be joking. You said we could destroy anything we wanted. And I for one, would love to destroy everything in this house as well as the mansion itself." Lilith picked up a ceramic vase and dropped it on the floor. The vase shattered into many small pieces. I shook my head. What a waste."My dear, Lilith, all these things I can sell so I can buy you all those trinkets

    CelesteI descended the grand staircase slowly, taking each step one at a time. I grabbed the banister for support as I placed one foot in front of the other, wincing in pain. I could hear voices coming from the parlor on the ground floor as well as the sound of ceramics breaking as they hit the floor. These dark witches didn't know how valuable those things were to other wolves. Clearly, they had no respect for other people's things."Where is she? If she isn't here, she must have escaped!" I heard Lilith speak. She was once my bestfriend until her jealousy tore us apart. Blake and I were fated mates, a mating blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. Lilith unfortunately believed she was Blake's fated mate and not I. So, she did the despicable. She disguised herself as me and paraded herself naked in front of Blake who was drunk after celebrating our alliances.They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die and it is true...all the good memories and all the people you lov

    Magnus"Painful for us to watch, painful for you to feel." I laughed at Celeste, who was writhing in pain, the mate bond broken from Blake's death. She blew him a kiss, how touching. Why didn't she save him so she could heal him? Honestly, she looked sick. Maybe pregnancy was taking a toll on her."Magnus, we agreed I would have Blake!" Lilith whispered to me in a deep voice. " You gave me your word." I grabbed her by her arm and twisted it. She yelped in pain. I pulled her towards me so she could smell my horrid breath."Blake doesn't love you and he will never love you even if Celeste is gone from this Earth. Why would he settle for someone ugly and used? He will find someone prettier and fresh. I am doing you a favor."I saw her eyes glaze over for a second, a clear sign someone was communicating with her. It must be the girls telling her to walk away. "How would you know? You have never experienced love. Not all wolves are like you, Magnus." Lilith pulled away from me so I let he

    SakuraIt was raining like a tropical storm outside. Lightning sizzled, loud thunder roared and the torrents of rain hitting the roof of the house was so loud, I couldn't hear the television. I wiped my hands on my apron and switched the channel to the news and waited for the weather forecaster to go on. Strange. She didn't mention anything about the rain tonight. Lightning flickered again like a light of a camera and thunder followed it, making the whole house vibrate. A moment ago, the full moon was shining, glistening so beautifully. Then, all of sudden, dark clouds appeared, covering the moon and releasing an angry burst of rain. Oh, well, the weather was always unpredictable.I was washing the dishes while Winston, my husband, went around the house making sure the windows were all shut tight. The wind was howling outside. He didn't want the rain water to stain our hardwood floors.Winston and I have been married for quite some time. I'm a first generation Japanese-Filipino while m

Although, I'm still ticked off I wasn't able to find that damn ring of hers. The Moon Goddess never plays fair especially for a big bad wolf like me.The Council of Wolves were starting to be a real pain in the neck. They had announced they were offering a bounty for my head, whether I be dead or alive. I mean, why would they care if I sell drugs or smuggle stuff? It's not like I'm doing it to the wolves."Magnus, kidnapping Omegas and making them sex slaves isn't something the Council of Elders would willfully condone. Why don't we just focus on humans? The Omegas are still our brethren," Lilith said, after she read the sheet of paper the Council Elders had put up at the gates of territories of all the wolf packs in the country. S

I just needed to focus and focus I did. I wanted the cameras to go Poltergeist on the police.I searched the utility room for something to hit them in the head with. These were wolves... and the stick at the end of a mop wasn't going to do any damage.There was some sort of locker type closet at the end of the room. If there were tools, that's probably where the cleaning staff would stash them. I was in luck. It was unlocked and stored inside were wrenches. I took the biggest heavy duty pipe wrench, hoping it would serve as a weapon.I had to think of a way to separate the two rogues. I decided to make the door creak. It worked. "Check that out, will yah," said one. I decided to name him Rogue Two. "It's probably the police.

    KiariaIt was fun shopping, but we had to get moving, if not, we'd be stuck here forever. I bought a cute mauve pink sleeveless tie neck sheath dress that went down just above the knee. It was pink, but not too bright which I loved. I had some neutral pumps and a clutch that would match the outfit so I didn't need to buy accessories. I also got a long sleeve white chiffon blouse and a pair of beige slacks for a business yet casual look for fall. Now, I had to go buy some pajamas for my mom and dad."Thank you so much. I'll definitely come here again if I need to spice up my wardrobe," I told the owner. She was someone in her late twenties who moved here from Idaho. When she heard I was Winston Wright's daughter, she automatically gave us VIP treatment. Apparently, my father's bank gave her the capital to start her own business."Please do and if you can, tell your friends to visit my boutique," Hannah said."I promise, I will," I replied.

I needed to double-check the books and see if all of it added up.For eighteen years, life has been good. I was rich, built my own city and because of the advancement in medicine, the doctors gave me a new face and smoothen out my scars. Unfortunately, nothing could mend my eye so I wore a patch. It gave me an edge around the people I mingled with.I still had my harem of witches with me minus Lilith. The bitch left and took everything in my vault. It was okay, some of it was hers anyway and she did leave me the formula of the "No-scent" elixir that helps wolves blend with the humans. Because of it, wolves have difficulty sniffing out a wolf from a human so it's a great thing for the spies I have scattered all over the country.
