Davina
I sigh, watching Maliyah ride off with Aspen and Ada. She has been more confrontational lately and now getting into fights at school. I can remember when I was carrying Maliyah and her sister. I was so frightened of the world I would be raising them in but still had envisioned such a happy life for us. Even if it remained only us, we were happy. I sometimes feel guilty over these thoughts. I love Derek fiercely and the children we’ve had together, I’ll never regret having them in our lives. I just miss the simply life and running the restaurant at times.
“What’s got you thinking so hard darling?”
I look up and see my uncle Gabriel. He pulls me into an embrace, always knowing what I need in the moment.
“I don’t regret having any of my children or being with Derek, but I miss our simply life in the restaurant at
DavinaI wake extra early to ensure everything is taken care of while we are gone. I am sitting on our back porch having some coffee and reflecting. I can’t believe almost five years ago I was just living my life as a normal human, running my family’s restaurant and raising my daughters. I was completely oblivious to the fact that all my employees were werewolves and that my uncle is a warlock. Life was simple and easy back then. There are times I miss it but I wouldn’t have the twins or Aiden had my life not been changed when meeting Derek.I often wonder would Alastor still have found me if I never met Derek, though I know the answer. The seal would’ve only suppressed my powers for so long. I would have eventually learned about this world sooner or later. I tend to rub my left leg from time to time. It seems weird having my leg back after believing I would be wearing a prosthetic t
DavinaAs soon as we arrive in France, Luna Camille greets us. She looks exhausted as if she hasn’t slept in days.“Camille, please give me the authority to act as Alpha while I am here. I will take a look at your borders and ensure your warriors are ready.”“You have my permission. I have mind linked the pack that you are standing in as Alpha until Andre returns.”She visibly seems to relax, happy to have an Alpha here to help her. I look at her stomach as she runs her hand over it. I didn’t realize she is pregnant.“Camille, where is your pack doctor. All this stress must not be good for the baby.”“I haven’t even had the chance to tell Andre we are expecting. We’ve been trying for so long.”Luna Camille breaks down in tears. Maliyah and I help her inside and find her doctor to give her a check up. Thankfully the
DavinaLuna Camille has not been feeling well. I’ve been nervous to teleport her in her condition and her flock won’t leave without her so we’ve been stuck here for two days. Today is the first time Camille has gotten out of bed to eat. That is more that we had hoped. Losing your mate often kills you but we think the fact that she is pregnant is what is keeping her moving.“How is she today,” Derek mind links me.“She’s up, out of bed and eating.”“That’s good love. We need to move as soon as possible.”“Why? What’s wrong?”“There has been an increase in humans disappearing around these parts. I’m concerned they will attack again.”Derek is right. The longer we stay here the more likely they will find out we are here and attack. I send for the pack doctor to check over Camille again. I need her to be stronger so we can get out of here
DavinaDerek rushes outside immediately to aid in the attack. I am glad we’ve been preparing for one, our warriors and the flock warriors have quickly become in sync with one another. I need to ensure uncle has everything he needs before I aid my daughter.“Are you sure we are going to lose them both,” asks Beta Henri.“Yes Beta. The loss is too much for our Luna,” Dr. Clement replies.“My uncle assures me this will work, we just need a willing female to be the surrogate,” I explain.“My mate has already agreed to be the surrogate. We don’t have any pups yet. The young Alpha will be well loved and we will ensure he is prepared to take over the flock when he comes of age,” Beta Henri replies.I hear Terra roar from the skies again as the battle outside ensues.“Uncle, how quickly can you get this done? We need to get out o
Maliyah After mom took over fighting against her brother, Terra and I land to rest our wings and let our leg heal. We easily take out rogues that rush to attack us as we land. I even turn some of them into ice statutes before smashing them with my tail. This battle seems to drag on forever. I need to put a stop to it and I know one way that would be immediate and simultaneously put everyone down at the same time. “Maliyah, this is a bad idea. We could hurt ourselves or worse.” “Do you have a better idea Terra?” Terra is silent, she knows we can end this now but hopefully not at the cost of our own lives. Aspen is far enough away from me that I can circle a tornado around me. I can feel my powers flowing through me as the wind picks up. Lightning cracks across the sky as I prepare to use that to keep everyone away from me so they can’t stop me. “Maliyah don’t!” I can hear Aspen as I see him strike his sword to the ground so he doesn’t blow away. I haven’t used three powers at once
DavinaThe next day, Derek and I seem busier than ever. We now have our pack, the coven, the pride and the flock all residing on Palmetto territory. I popped over to the dragon realm to retrieve some earth dragons to help be put up some homes quickly for our new guests as well as a new office building to give all the leaders their own office on pack grounds and a bigger conference room for the council I created to meet. Aspen offered the cottage to interim Alpha Henri and his mate Sarah so they would have their own space and he took a spare room close to Maliyah. He’s up there all night anyway, wanting to ensure her safety.Maliyah also woke up this morning and other than feeling a little weak she is fine. My sister and I are going to have to train her more often so she doesn’t easily tire out from using her powers. The more she uses them, the stronger she will become. However, I don’t like her using th
Aspen“Aspen, Maliyah is awake.”I rush upstairs of the pack house and I let out a breath of relief to see her up and smiling. I know I promised her she would be fine but I was concerned I would be wrong.“I’m fine Aspen.”“Good to know kiddo,” I reply with a smile.“What’s wrong Aspen? Your smile doesn’t hide your emotions well.”“I am leaving for home to get her warriors and then I’ll be heading to the bear pack today. We are sure they are the next target.”“I’ll come with you.”“Absolutely not. You need to rest. We are more prepared this time. Your aunt, Kat, and wolf warriors are coming as well to assist. This time we will be ready for an attack.”Just as she is about to argue, the twins come rushing in and jump onto Maliyah’s bed. They are laughing a
MaliyahI didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Aspen and I know he snuck off on purpose while I was distracted with the twins.“Liyah, Liyah! You’re awake,” screams Accalia.“Yes, Accalia I’m awake,” I giggle back at her.“Can you play with us now,” begs Thierry.“Can I join you?”I look up and find Amara, the younger sister to Ghalen.“Of course, the more the merrier,” I reply. “Just let me shower and get dressed and I’ll meet you guys downstairs, okay?”“Okay sissy. Hurry, hurry.”I laugh at my little sister’s impatience as I head to my bathroom. I turn on the hot water and let it cascade down my back, relaxing my muscles.“Terra, I feel stronger. Like a part of me that has been in slumber is awake.”“I feel it too. I think we
