Maliyah
Before I leave for the elf realm, father wants me to take my midterms before spring break. I have been studying all week and packing. I don’t know how long I will be with Aspen so I probably pack more than necessary.
Right now, uncle Mark has dragged me outside for a break from the books and has me training against him. My uncle claims he wants to be sure I don’t get rusty though really I think he just wants another shot at me. Aspen has trained me well in elf combat so between that, my powers and everything uncle Mark has taught me, I am more than capable of defending myself.
Before I leave, there will be a ceremony to swear in the new warriors that have passed uncle Mark’s tests. Luca and Chris are among those that are going to officially be warriors. As daughter of the Alpha it is expected I be present if possible.
AspenMaliyah stops talking mid-sentence and her eyes begin to glow silver. It’s been awhile since a vision forced itself onto Maliyah and it has us all on edge. Everyone, besides her parents and I, have left the office. We’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for Maliyah to come out of this vision. Her eyes finally return to normal and I catch her before falls to the ground. I lightly tap her cheek as her eyes flutter open.“Maliyah are you okay?”She takes a moment as she slowly recognizes where she is before answering.“No I am not,” she says as fresh tears form in her eyes.I can sense fear, anger and sadness all rolled into one from her.“Maliyah what did you see?”“I know who is after me,” she says as her tears fall.
Maliyah I love how Aspen knows how to cheer me up. He knows me better than anyone else. We are walking hand in hand passed the training field. The warriors are training hard as they are preparing to be ranked. I see a young warrior, Ray I think is his name, getting the wind knocked out of him by Chris. I feel bad they paired him with Chris, Chris is one of the best and we all already knew he would be a high ranking warrior. I stop watching the fight and grimace as I hear bones crunching as blood begins to pour from Ray’s nose. Yet, he doesn’t give up and gets back up, preparing his next attack. I can tell even Chris wishes the young wolf would just stay down. “Come on Ray, you can do it,” I yell from the sidelines. “What are you doing,” asks Aspen. “I think he could use some encourage
Maliyah“Maliyah are you okay,” asks dad as Aspen places me on the couch in my room.Dr. Smith immediately hooks up an IV to me though the gash as already closed. She still goes through her checklist to ensure everything else is fine and takes some of my blood.“I’ll come check your blood again in an hour. Hopefully there will be no wolfsbane in your system by then.”We all thank Dr. Smith as she leaves with a vial of my blood.“I’m fine, really. It’s just a scratch.”“I’m gonna kill him,” growls dad.“Come on dad, that’s unnecessary. It’s not like he could’ve really hurt me.”“Well he is no longer welcome in this pack. I cannot just let this go, he attacked another pack member and could’ve killed you. Thankfully, you are half dragon so the wolfsbane doe
MaliyahThis party has been an all day event. Those with pups started leaving around seven while the rest started getting drunk and dancing to whatever popular song the DJ played next. Mom and my siblings called it a night around nine and now I am about to join them. It’s almost midnight and I can tell dad is about to shut it down.“Alright warriors, I’m glad you all have enjoyed your night but it’s time to hit the sack. The real work begins tomorrow,” says dad as everyone begins cleaning up the trash.“I wasn’t sure you were going to last,” I tease Aspen.“Hey I’m not even three hundred yet. That’s still young for us elves.”“Huh, whatever makes me feel better.”Aspen picks me up and tickles me, making me laugh uncontrollably.“Okay, okay I surrender,” I laugh.He sets m
AspenI am so glad today is the day I will be taking Maliyah to the elf realm. I need her safe and she needs a break from seeing Luca all the time. I swear he is everywhere and always watching her. Maliyah is still fast asleep from last nights events so I quietly slip out of the room.“How is she this morning,” asks Derek’s Beta and brother, Mark.“It took her forever to get back to sleep. What she saw really scared her.”“I have mind linked Derek and Davina to meet here in my suit so we can stay close to her in case she wakes up.”“Good, I don’t want to be too far away right now. I never know when a vision is going to hit her anymore.”“I’ll make some breakfast for everyone,” says Mark’s mate, Daniela.Mark and Daniela have their hands full with three kiddos running around the house. One of their sons is actually their nephew they are ra
Maliyah I stare at my clock as the minutes slowly go by. I’ve been up for hours and my family has been meeting since like six. I can hear them talking about and I know they are worried about me. These visions have been awful and this was the worst one yet. I finally sit up, knowing I need to get out of this bed. I feel bad for ignoring my siblings this morning. I don’t really know what happened after I blacked out with the hunter on top of me. I shutter thinking about what lies before me in the future. What’s worse is I know the exact date of this happening and it feels like I am just going to count down the days. I head to the bathroom attached to this bedroom and take a much needed long, hot shower. I decide I need to perk up and stop wallowing in something that hasn’t even occurred yet. It’s months away and I don’t need to make everyone else mis
MaliyahI love coming to visit the elf realm. The castle was built in the forest without destroying any trees. In the middle of the castle is a beautiful flower garden that I love to visit. I feel most connected to nature here in this realm and it makes me to want to never leave.“Welcome home Ms. Brooks,” says one of the guards at the font door.“Thank you, it’s good to be back,” I reply with a smile.Aspen chuckles as he carries my bags inside and leads me to my room that is connected to his.“Alright, I’ll let you get settled.”“Thanks Aspen.”He kisses my forehead before leaving me to unpack. I don’t get very far when my door bursts open and Ada comes running full speed.“Maliyah!”I catch her just in time as she jumps into my arm
MaliyahAs usual I wake up before dawn from my nightmare, but at least the screaming has stopped. I hate waking others up over a nightmare. It’s really cruel to have to relive my sister’s death over and over for the past six years. The only time I can get a good nights rest is if I have Dimitri spell me to sleep, but he said it’s not good for the mind to not heal from it’s trauma so he doesn’t do it often.Normally I loath getting up so early cause I can never get back to sleep, but today I don’t mind. I am standing on the balcony attached to my room, drinking some coffee the kitchen staff kindly made for me. I’ve been sitting here for the past hour just listening to nature as the sun rises.There is an easel set up here with plenty of paint, but all I have done is stare at it. I haven’t painted since the war ended. I just haven’t had the inspiration, but somet
