Derek I think Davina purposely took longer to get ready tonight. I know for a fact she can get ready faster than she has tonight. I’ll definitely get her back for that one. I slowly walk to Maliyah’s door. I cringe as I knock not wanting to know what lies on the other side. “Maliyah? You ready to go?” “Almost!” “Can I come in?” “Yeah, I’m dressed!” I cautiously open the door and find all her dresses she brought laid out on her bed and the mountain of shoes she brought with her all over the floor. Maliyah walks out of the bathroom in a beautiful rose colored dress. It’s a spaghetti strap and the front comes all the way up to her collar bone. It has a pretty floral design in the lace at the bottom of the dress. She twirls to show me her dress. “Do you like it?” The back stops at her mid back with this lace design up each of her shoulder blades and ties together between her should blades. “You look beautiful darling.” “I just need to put on my black gladiator sandals and I’ll
Maliyah “I think you’d really like this book Aspen. To Kill A Mockingbird.” “I look forward to reading it. Would you like to meet some people.” “I don’t know, this really isn’t my thing.” “Don’t worry. I’ll be with you the whole time.” Aspen stands holds his hand out for me. I hesitate but eventually take his hand and let him lead me towards the crowd to a group of elves he seems to know. “Hello everyone. Maliyah I’d like to introduce you to Lindir, she’s a long time friend. And this is Rohan and his sister Tauriel. We all grew up together. Everyone this is Maliyah, a silver dragon.” “It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” I greet. “So you are a silver dragon, the youngest one to ever transform,” asks Rohan. “That’s what they tell me,” I reply. “You must be very strong then. I’d love to test your powers against my combat skills,” says Rohan. “Umm…I’ll have to clear that with my parents first but I’d be happy to go one on one with you.” “Ignore him Maliyah. He tries to fight ev
Derek The next morning Davina is up early sitting by the window drawing. I am assuming with last nights events and the meeting with the dragons today she must be quite stressed. “Well that was quite the eventful evening,” I say as I stretch out of bed. “What is King Bjarki going to do to the girl,” asks Davina. “I don’t know. Don’t worry love, he doesn’t execute his people just because they said something stupid. He may force her to be a maid for a certain length of time which to someone of high ranking as Lindir would be the end of the world to her.” “Maliyah is only eight and her emotions, especially anger, get the better of her. I’d hate to see what happens when we hit the teenage years with her.” “I am not ready to think about that yet love. With that age comes boys and I’m not ready to deal with boys.” “Well if she starts to take a liking to Prince Aspen that won’t be an issue. He seems like a nice young man.” “It does seem good for her,” I reply. “Have you spoken to Mali
Davina These last two weeks have flew by me. Maliyah and I spend every other day with the dragons learning about our history and training to better control our powers. Maliyah got to meet some dragons her age and they typically take off flying playing tag. It’s nice to see her playing with kids her own age. When we are not with the dragons we are spending time with the royal family. Maliyah trains with with Aspen as much as she can. She has gotten very good at protecting herself. She is looking forward to returning home to see if she can best Mark. Today we are training with the dragons again. “Hello Katla how are you all doing this morning,” I ask. “We are well thank you.” I transform into my dragon and tower over all the other dragons. “It’s amazing. I’m quite fascinated with how you transform.” “I do wish I was able to give you all that ability. You wouldn’t have to hide in fear anymore from the humans.” Aspen said Ryuu visited him once. It’d be nice if I could speak with Ry
Derek Davina never ceases to amaze me. She may not know who she is granting gifts but I think it has to do something with wanting to help others. I think it’s her good heart that allows her to grant these abilities. The girls head to the garden to meet with Ivy while I head to Bjarki’s war room. “Bjarki how ya doin?” “Derek I’m glad you are here. And I see you brought little Thierry. He looks just like your father did at that age, you picked a good name for him.” “My wife decided on the name. My father was like an uncle to her. What’s going on?” “The trackers in South American have gone missing.” “How many did you send?” “Three. They were our top trackers. I think they must’ve found something they shouldn’t have. Gabriel and the shifters lost communication with them in Guatemala. They had a lead that led them to Tikal. They were suppose to check in after doing a search. We never head back from them. Gabriel and some shifters are headed there now.” “Damn it Bjarki, I’m so sorry
Davina I am extremely impressed with Maliyah’s skills. She really hasn’t been working with Aspen that long but he has done wonders in use a few short months. I am so proud of her and even more happy that she doesn’t need to rely on her powers to protect herself. I wouldn’t put it past the rogues to find a way to prevent her from using her powers or mine. Derek and I get the twins situated for the night before getting ready ourselves. I am in the showering rinsing out the shampoo when he joins me. He comes up behind me, kissing the back of my shoulder before moving to my neck. He grabs my breasts, teasing my nipples causing me to moan. “Mmm…Derek.” “Shhhh.” He continues kissing me before spinning me around, pinning me to the wall. He moves his mouth to my nipples teasing me and he continues lower until he reaches my clit. He puts my legs on his shoulders and lifts me up as he continues to tease me. I grab a fist full of his hair as I feel my core tighten. He abruptly stops and lo
Maliyah I am happy Aspen asked me to dance. I don’t know anyone else and it would’ve be boring standing by the wall all night. I’m sure uncle Owen and dad would asked me to dance but that’s embarrassing. I can’t believe I just performed in front of everyone. “I can’t believe you asked me to play in front of everyone,” I tease. “Well with everyone watching when I asked you wouldn’t be able to say no now would you?” “That is quite evil Aspen.” “I wanted to hear you play,” he replies. The song ends and one of the elves walks up to us. “Hey Maliyah, mind if I cut in Prince Aspen,” asks Drake. Drake is about a year older than me. “Not at all. I should ask my mother to dance anyway. You’ll be alright Maliyah,” Aspen asks. “Yeah I’ll be fine. Thank you.” Aspen heads back towards his mother and Drake places his hand on my waist. “How are you enjoying the ball,” I ask. “It's alright. This is not really my scene though, I'd rather be out in the woods. Oh I’m sorry, dancing is not my
Maliyah I can tell someone is here. I can hear pages of a book turning. My eyes flutter open and I raise my hand to the blinding light. I feel like I am going to be sick. I groan and lean over the side of the bed and vomit all over the floor. “Maliyah, it’s okay. You’re okay. You have a concussion and some broken ribs.” I look over and it’s Aspen. Great and I just vomited in front of him. I groan again holding my head. It’s killing me. “How long have I been out?” “Here drink this tea, it’ll help with your head pain. It’s been two days since the ball.” I look at him shocked. I can’t believe two days have gone by. I panic suddenly. “The twins?!” “They’re fine. They were not attacked. You were the objective. You fought well though. Had you not, you wouldn’t be with us right now.” “I lost though. Last thing I saw was you throwing some knives.” “One got away, the rest will never harm you again.” Meaning he killed them. I don’t feel too bad though for those that died. I throw th
Maliyah“Maliyah, the guests are arriving!”“Coming mom!”I quickly finish doing my hair in a half up pony tail style and curl it before doing my make up. I can’t believe it’s been almost five years since the war ended and here we are, celebrating my sixteenth birthday. I stop by my nightstand with my sister’s picture and use my powers to make the flowers in the vase bloom again.“Happy birthday sis,” I whisper as I head for the door.I throw on my Ariat boots, hoping towards the door as I put on one at a time. I almost collide with my door trying to put on my last boot as I grab the handle to open the door only to end up running into Aspen. I nearly fall backwards onto the floor, but Aspen reaches out and catches my arm to steady me.
DavinaI wake with a start that it startles Derek. Sweat is dripping down my face as Derek gently cups my face.“What’s wrong love,” he says looking around the room for an intruder.“I got to say goodbye to Malayah,” I whisper. He looks at me confused.“Okay, but what has you so scared?”I turn to Derek, making sure he is listening carefully. Worry is evident on his face as I take deep breaths to calm my racing heart. I need someone else to know what she told me.“Malayah said, ‘Beware of the new comer, darkness will come for her’.”“What does that even mean?”“I don’t know. I don’t even know exactly who she was talking about, but I think it’s Maliyah. I think she was talking about Maliyah and whoever Maliyah saw in t
DavinaThe twins have fallen asleep, Thierry on Derek, Accalia on Calista and Aiden in my arms. Everyone begins going home and we had back into the pack house. We lay the kids down for bed as does Mark and Daniela. It’s nice to see the children together, safe and sound and back to what was once normal. Things may not go back to what they were but we can find a new normal for our family.The last thing I do is prepare a room for my mother with the help of Kat and Daniela. We put her next to Calista as they seem to have hit it off and have become fast friends. I am over the moon that I get to have this opportunity to get to know my mother and learn more about my family. There is so much I don’t know.With mom back in the picture, it seems to have changed things for Kat. Now that Kat has been spending time with our mother and her granddaughter
DavinaWhen we all heard Derek and Maliyah playing I immediately mind link the whole pack to meet at the memorial. Our family gathered at it’s entrance, tears forming in our eyes. I haven’t heard her play in a long time. As pack members began arriving I open the back doors so they can hear too and started passing out candles and lighting them. Once everyone has a candle, I teleport Maliyah and Derek next to the memorial and they don’t miss a note. Families begin stepping up to the memorial and placing beautiful flower arrangements at the base.Dimitri utters a spell under his breath and tells me the flowers will never die, they will remain frozen in time. Celestia and Calista help pass out the Chinese sky lanterns and pens so everyone can write a message or just the name of a loved one that has been lost. I make one for my uncle Gabriel and parents that raised me as they now have no one le
MaliyahI can’t believe what I woke up to. Dr. Smith has been examining me and taking MRI’s of my brain. I am still in shock at everything I am being told. Mom and dad tell me everything I appear to be forgetting. We take several breaks as I am constantly crying over things I have forgotten.I remember some of the information they are telling me but not all of it. After a while I did start to remember the day my sister died but it still doesn’t feel real. I don’t remember being in a coma before and waking up to having another little brother. Uncle Kale died as well as uncle Gabriel and I haven’t been able to accept that yet.Uncle Gabriel has been around all my life, even before I learned what I was. I never imagined I would have to live my life without him.“Ma
DavinaWe’ve been in the dragon realm for the past week; going back and forth to the forbidden realm to explore it more. We want to ensure we had all he details, which Dimitri has written down so we won’t ever forget this day we now call The Day of Retaliation. It’ll always be a day we will mourn as many loved ones were lost that day, but we fought back against my brother and won. I wish there would’ve been another way, but my brother was too far gone. Once we were sure we didn’t miss anything, Dimitri and his coven sealed the realm away forever. The shifter counsel all agreed that it will be against our laws to step foot into that realm so it was best to seal it away to stop temptation.The horse shifters have been learning about the human world as it has changed a lot than from what their ancestors had told them. Technology is a new thing for them and they will remain on bear
DavinaIt’s finally over. It’s been six years since Derek came into my life and my world was turned upside down. Six years after finding out I was not at all human. My heart mourns for those that I have lost in all that time. The parents that raised me, my uncle Gabriel, Thierry who was like a second uncle to me and my biological parents though I didn’t even know it yet.My heart hurts for my sister. She has been an empty shell since we killed Alastor. She remains at Kale’s side though his soul is no longer attached to his body. He’s gone and there is nothing I can really do to comfort her.“Mom, let’s get you something to eat and drink. Please,” begs River but Kat doesn’t respond.She continues to stare at his body and grasp his hand. I think
Davina The minute Maliyah became unconscious her swirl of power dissipated. I drop the sphere of wind and see the zombie creatures are dropping one by one. I rush to Maliyah’s side in a panic with Kat right at my heals. “Maliyah!” Her head is bleeding badly and she is not responding at all. I quickly teleport her to Dr. Smith. “What happened,” asks Dr. Smith. “She hit her head on a rock and I am afraid she used more power than she can handle.” Kat pulls me away from Maliyah to give Dr. Smith room to work and I reluctantly back away. “Davina!” I look up and see Mark and Derek running into the tent. I can feel he is just as scared as I am right now. “Thank Ryuu you are okay. What happened to Maliyah?”
Davina “Maliyah we need you,” I yell through the mind link. Kat and I are trying to finish this once and for all but we both know we won’t win without Maliyah. Alastor creates a sphere of wind around him, pushing Kat and I off of him. I quickly search the field for Maliyah and instantly see what she is doing. Her vision of Derek and Mark dying, it’s happening. “We need Maliyah,” says Kat through the link. “She is needed else where right now. We need to keep him distracted long enough for her to accomplish what is needed and return to us,” I reply. Kat doesn’t question what I mean. We trust each other completely and I know we can hold him off until Maliyah comes back. “You two are a thorn in my side. It’s time for me to be an only child,” growls out Alastor. I know we a
