Derek That’ll keep her occupied long enough for Dimitri to search Gabriel’s mind for the memories he erased from his consciousness. It could take a while since these memories occurred so many years ago It’s nice to see her have some friends over and be a normal kid for once. She’s been too focused on adult issues to enjoy being a kid. “You ready Dimitri?” “Yes, it would be best if we did this in the clearing. I don’t know what to expect when rummaging through Gabriel’s memories.” “Of course. Let me grab Davina. Everyone else will remain at the estate as a safety precaution.” I head into the house, finding Davina in the nursery spending some much needed time with the twins. I hate to interrupt it. I walk in picking up Thierry and tossing him in the air. He giggles but I can feel Davina glaring at me. She hates it when I do that. Her heart races a bit each time I do it. “Is it time?” “Yes love. Dimitri is ready. We are going to head to the clearing.” I hand her Thierry and pick up
DavinaWell at least that explains why the fairies never showed up for the wedding or luna ceremony. They are protecting my sister just as my mother wished. I guess it’s time for a trip to the fairy realm. If we are going to travel to another realm I am taking all the children. I don’t want anything to happen to them while we are gone. Mark will have to stay behind with Daniela. She can’t shift and we still don’t know what will happen to a baby if teleported. My sister is sixteen years old than me. I feel bad she has been without family all this time and unable to find her mate. “Well alright then. Let’s start prepping to leave for the fairy realm and bring my sister home.” Dimitri insists on coming and is taking care of things in his coven to cover his absence. Derek is not happy that I want to bring all the children but he understands my worry with what had recently happened to the coven. Maliyah is super excited about getting to travel and meet a unicorn and a pegasus . Aspen tr
Everyone finishes breakfast and gathers outside to prepare to leave. Derek and Mark are going over some business details that need to be taken care of while we are gone. Mark is also going to have the elders followed. Aspen is sure it’s elder Carole but believes it’s magic masking her, preventing him from truly seeing whether her intentions are good or bad. I’ll deal with her when we get back. “Is every body ready,” asks Dimitri.“The fairies are aware we coming,” I ask Dimitri.“Yes, they new this day would be coming and they’ve done their best at explaining to Katerina. She is not taking the news very well. Luckily her mate is there comforting her.”“Wait? How does she have a mate if she has been stuck there this whole time,” asks Derek.“We can ask them that after we get her to trust us. She also has a son,” Dimitri replies.Derek is trying to warp his mind around everything he has just learned. I had not had a chance to speak to him after Dimitri told me this earlier. I can’t wai
“It appears the deer died of old age. We will ensure the deer’s soul is set free,” says the boy. He stands at stares at me curiously“Hi I am Davina,” I say reaching out to shake his hand, hoping he’ll introduce himself. I more curious about him rather than their weird animal ritual.“This is River. Your sister’s son,” Cedar replies. River has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is slightly shorter than Derek and his muscles are well defined. I can smell that River is a wolf. He must’ve noticed our scent as he continues to stare at us with curiosity before his facial expression turns to a smile. Instead of shaking our hands he pulls me into a hug. At first I am shocked before I hug him back, I can feel his warmth at his touch letting me know we are really family.“It is nice to know I have family out there. I’m River, your nephew. Mom is having some anxiety since she can’t remember anything before she was sixteen and this news is quite a shock for her. My dad’s name is Kale and he’s tr
AspenMaliyah is so happy right now with meeting the unicorns and the pegasus. She is very fascinated with the hippocampus in the water and meeting the merfolk. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen her relaxed. Even when we are riding I can see her anxiety for her sister. I see Cedar walking up to us out of the corner of my eye. I need to stop him from reaching Maliyah. I never considered the possibility of meeting a seer while here in the fairy realm and I am sure it was my future with Maliyah he saw.“Maliyah, stay here. Don’t wander. I am going to go talk to Cedar real quick.”Maliyah smiles at me with those warm, innocent eyes. I know elves don’t have fate mates but I feel the pull towards her making me feel like I need to protect her. It’s not a lustful pull like shifters get when they find their mates but like a little sister that I need to protect from the bullies who want to hurt her.“Okay Aspen. I promise I will stay here by the water.” Maliyah returns to her conversation with
Derek I can feel Davina’s worry. She doesn’t know her sister yet and already feels the need to try and preserve what family she has left. I will do all that I can to ensure she doesn’t lose a sister on top of everything else she has lost. I wake before Davina due to the broken sleep I got last night. She struggled to get to sleep, tossing and turning throughout the night. I can hear movement outside and decide to join who ever it is and let her sleep a little longer. I quietly close the door behind me and notice it’s Kale and River. “Good morning Derek. I hope you slept well,” says Kale. “Not really though that has to due with Davina not being able to get to sleep last night.” “Katerina was the same way last night. She wouldn’t stop tossing and turning, it was driving me nuts.” I can’t help but laugh. The girls sound as if they are twins. “So how did you end up here in the fairy realm? From what we were told it was just Katerina that was brought here.” “I was approached by a spi
Davina “I don’t know why father didn’t tell me about you when he and my mother came to me but I am here now.” “You’ve been through so much. I am sorry I wasn’t there to protect you like a big sister should.” “Do not feel bad. Our father made the choices he did to protect us both.” Davina reach’s over to my mother and grabs Accalia and I grab Thierry. Maliyah walks over with Aspen and joins us. She smiles at my kids, reaching out for Accalia. “Katerina, this is my daughter Accalia. She is a wolf but will have powers like us. This is our son Thierry and this is Maliyah. Malayah has been taken by our brother.” I know Derek can feel my rage and sadness at the mention of our missing daughter. Katerina reaches for her son, River. “I am so happy to meet my family. I can’t believe I am an aunt.” Katerina look at Accalia in her arms and gives her a squeeze. Accalia giggles and hugs her back. “Why don’t you have more kids Katerina?” “Maliyah, that was rude,” Derek scolds. “It’s fine De
Maliyah Something is up. I can tell everyone is worried about something and River is trying to distract me from finding out. I catch mom and the others glancing over this way several times and I can tell River is aware I noticed. “What is going on River?” “Honestly they haven’t told me anything but I can something is troubling our parents. I think it’s best you just let them handle whatever it is Maliyah.” “But I can help. I am stronger than everyone thinks.” “I don’t doubt that one bit cousin but how do you think your mother would feel if she lost you and Malayah?” I hate that he is right. I can’t risk my life, it would kill my mother if we both were lost. But that doesn’t mean I can’t help to save my sister. I promised to not abandon her and I won’t break that promise. I am distracted in my I thoughts that I am not focusing on my parents conversation but I can tell River has been. His head snaps up in their direction and I see a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes. He hear
