Aspen
My 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
MaliyahI wake up feeling amazing. I am glad I have saved myself for this moment. We may not have actually had sex but it was still perfect. He is perfect. I couldn’t ask for a better mate. I know I am jumping the gun, but we’ve been dating since I turned fifteen and I am sure he is my mate. I look up at the handsome elf next to me and can’t believe how lucky I am to have him in my life. “It’s creepy to stare at someone while they sleep you know.”I can’t help but giggle. Aspen opens one of his eyes and smiles at me. I let out a squeal as he rolls on top of me and that is when I realize I am still naked. I suddenly become self conscious and try to hid my ugly scar that is on my body. “You are beautiful. Don’t ever think otherwise.” He leans down for a gentle kiss that is over sooner than I’d like. “I need to get you home. You promised to go riding with your siblings today.”“I’d rather stay in bed with you all day.” Aspen let’s out a light chuckle.“I would like nothing more beau
MaliyahUncle Mark told mom and dad what happened. They doubled patrols and I now have body guards again. I thought that was long over and the feeling I am being watched is giving me flash backs to the war. I wake up screaming, sweat pouring down my forehead.“Shhh…it’s okay Maliyah. I’m here.”I look over and laying beside me is Aspen. I move closer and he wraps his arms around me. I can feel my body shutter as I try to calm down. “Why didn’t you tell me you were still having nightmares.”“I didn’t want to worry anyone,” I reply through tears.“I heard what happened. I talked to your parents and you will have to two elf guards with you at all times.”“What?”“I can’t risk your safety if you truly are being followed.”“I don’t want to spend my senior year having body guards follow me everywhere.”“Don’t worry. They are highly skilled warriors and agreed to enroll in your school to blend in. You won’t even realize you have body guards.”I sigh and cave to Aspen’s request. I am just ha
MaliyahI still have two more weeks until school starts and today mom and dad said they want to give me a surprise. They were suppose to when I returned from my date with Aspen but with what has happened they’ve been busy trying to track whoever has been watching me.“Hey sweetheart. You ready for your surprise,” asks dad as he gives me a hug.“I’ve been ready.”“Alright let’s get in the truck, your mother is waiting for us.”I give dad a quizzical look as I follow him out the door.“Where are we going,” I ask.“You’ll see,” says mom as dad begins to drive out of the pack territory.I watch the trees go by as we continue into the human town and pull up to Ortiz’s Place.“We getting something to eat first?”
