Maliyah
The minute Dr. Smith alerted my family I was awake they immediately teleported to the hospital. I knew the moment they were in the hospital as I could hear Accalia’s voice from down the hall.
“Maliyah!”
Accalia bursts through the door with tears in her eyes and jumps into the bed with me, crushing me with all the strength she can muster.
“You took forever to wake up,” she says through tears.
“I know, I’m sorry to worry you. I’m okay, I promise.”
I look up and find Aiden and Thierry unsure of what to do. I wave them over to join us and they too begin crushing me further in a group hug. I wince a bit but it’s a good pain.
“Easy their kids,” says dad as he kisses the top of head.
He moves out of the way and mom hugs me just as tight as my siblings. <
MaliyahWhen I awaken, I find that it is dusk and the fireflies have begun to dance among the flowers. I look up and see Aspen staring me with nothing but pure love in his eyes. He sits us up and brushes a piece of hair out of my face. Just when I think he is going to kiss me he pulls away, leaving me a bit confused.“Did I do something wrong?”“You have done absolutely nothing wrong Maliyah.”“Then what’s wrong?”I can hear his heartbeat pick up as he paces back and forth in the grass while I sit patiently, waiting for him to come over his nerves. He suddenly stops and kneels down next to me, taking my hands in his.“Maliyah, I love you more than words can describe. I have fallen in love with a beautiful, talented, patient woman and I am honored you have found me deserving of your love back. We have been through many hurdles and we have overcome each and every one of them togethe
MaliyahOnce everyone had heard I was engaged mom had kept me busy. There was never ending decisions regarding what to serve at the reception, what kinds of flowers are to be arranged on the tables, what the bridesmaid dresses will look like and the flower girl dresses. It was a never ending list. When I thought I had everything in order mom comes at me with a new question. I never knew that picking out the color of the napkins would be so important.We decide to have the wedding here in my pack and then have the crowning ceremony in the elf realm. Everyone has been invited and when I say everybody, I mean everybody. All the other shifter packs will be there and an invitation to the crowning ceremony has been extended as well. I really wanted something small, but marrying into the royal family won’t allow for such a luxury.Today I am up earlier
AspenMy heart is beating so loudly that my ears are ringing. Everyone is turned to look towards the end of the aisle as Accalia and Ada walk down together, tossing rose petals on the ground. They are wearing beautiful floor length dresses, I believe Maliyah called them maxi dresses. Around the waist are decorative jewels that shimmer in the sunlight just like Maliyah’s hair.After the girls reach me, Thierry and Aiden walk down the aisle as the ring bearers. I can tell Thierry is not happy in his tuxedo with the bow tie as he pulls at several times. By the look I can see on Davina’s face, she is mind linking him to stop pulling at his bow tie. We opted to have no groomsman or bridesmaids so once the boys reached me, the wedding march begins.Everyone stands and Maliyah appears at the end of the aisle with her arm laced in her father’
Maliyah“Push my queen,” encourages the doctor, making me want to strangle him.It’s been five years since I married Aspen and became queen of the elves. There were many bumps along the way but in the end the crown has been passed down to Aspen. Aspen wanted kids right away but I convinced him to wait while we get things settled with the changes we wanted to make. I know it was a big change to having an outsider become queen of the elves. It has never happened before and there were a few not on board with the idea at first, but in the end I won them over.Being queen of the elves is definitely a lot of work, but I don’t think I would have it any other way. I love the people and I love implementing my ideas to improve things around here. Being that our species have now been intertwined some of the dragons requested to move back to the elf realm. Of course Aspen immediately appr

Maliyah“Maliyah!”“Aspen,” I reply weakly.“You’re okay. I’ve got you. Derek!” I cough up the dirt I inhaled when the roof collapsed on me and my sister. I can feel Aspen using his healing abilities on me and feel my strength returning to me. I look to my left and see Malayah unconscious.“Malayah!” I rush to her side and shake her, hoping to see her eyes flutter open. She is out cold but thankfully doesn’t appear to be injured badly. “Where is Enzo,” asks my father.“I think I killed him. He attacked us as we reached the exit and I think I killed him. The ceiling collapsed and I lost sight of him.”“Okay, we need to get you two out of here.”Dad grabs Malayah and heads for the exit with Aspen and I right behind him. The minute we reach the top of the stairs dad is attacked by a wolf, causing Malayah to stumble out of his arms. I attempt to rush to Malayah’s side but Aspen grabs hold of me, preventing me to going to her.“You don’t think you got rid of me that easy did you Maliyah
Maliyah“Good morning sweetheart,” says dad. “Morning dad, morning mom.”“Good morning darling,” mom replies.“Good morning beautiful,” says Aspen as he kisses my cheek. He is always very respectful in front of my parents and is big on PDA in front of them. I take a moment and stare at my boyfriend. He is as handsome as ever with his blonde hair, that almost appears white, and bright blue eyes. He is way taller than me at six foot three and very athletic like a runner. “Good morning Aspen,” I reply with a smile. Terra and I are sure he is our mate. “Do you have any plans today?”I look towards my parents who shake their head no, making me smile bigger.“Nope, what do you have planned?”“It’s a surprise. With your parents permission, I’d like to take you to the elf realm for a surprise.”“I’m fine with that as long as you are back by Sunday. We too have a surprise for you,” mom replies. “Deal!”Miss Kat is the best. She has cooked some of my favorites this morning. Belgium waffles
Aspen “What needs my attention that couldn’t wait until after my date with Maliyah?” “You know we’ve been tracing Maliyah’s bloodline on her father’s side right," asks my father. “Yes, you were curious about the family name, Black. Did you find something?” “Yes. Enzo Black’s family lineage also has the lycan gene.” “Does this mean that somehow Enzo and Derek were related?” “Yes, son. Very distant cousins, but related none the less. Enzo’s ancestors abused their gene and once activated they used it cruelly. Derek’s side of the family disowned that side of the family and went their separate ways.” “Enzo’s family are the group of wolves that attacked the elves and killed your grandmother aren’t they?” “Yes.” Shit. It may have been hundreds of years since that occurred but it is still fresh in the minds of many elves. It’ll be hard to convince them of my union with Maliyah if they learn the truth. “Does Davina and Derek know this information yet?” “No.” “Let me tell them, just
