Azalea

I woke at dawn again and went to meet my 2 teachers, once again walking through the same exercises as yesterday, getting through them quickly without me throwing things across the room.

"Now we're going to switch it up today. I want you to think about your power and feel it connecting to the air around you," Clarissa said.

"Good. Now feel how nice and warm it is. Ok. So cold air is just air moving at a slower speed right? So think about slowing the air around you down."

I focused on her words, my eyes closed tight. I was thinking so hard and nothing was happening. They kept pushing me for what felt like hours and nothing was happening.

Finally my frustration hit a breaking point and I yelled "Enough!"

When my eyes popped open I could see the air literally frozen with both ladies looking at me thoughtfully.

"Shit, sorry," I said and released the breath I was holding. When I did the air was released as well and began to return to normal quickly.

    Azalea It took us awhile since they were on 2 feet instead of the 4 feet I had been on, but the time passes quickly as we chatted about everything from boys to clothes and music. Finally I could hear the sound of fast running water and smell the dampness and we began to pick up our pace. "Finally," Cassie said, looking up to the top of the waterfall. "It's so pretty here! I can't believe it didn't even know it was here." We set up our picnic area around the pool at the bottom of the falls where a small patch of sunlight broke through the trees. We sat there munching down and laughing at Cassie's stories of times at her pack house with all of brothers. Cora and Celia each only had one sibling and I was raised like an only child so it was great getting to hear the crazy things they did. I told them all about the cities I'd been to and they asked a ton about what it was like around regular humans. "Alright. I am going for a swim now. That water is calling my name," I said,

    Azalea I woke the next day, excited and a little nervous. This was going to be my first dance. I shook my head, feeling a little silly for being nervous. This was going to be the first time I was going to get to check out the boys at this school and at the Alpha Academy. My bet was that most of them would be too young for my taste, but it would be fun to flirt. And it might piss my sister off more too, which was always a good thing. The girls had told me yesterday about a few of the boys to avoid because they'd get handsy. I ran down and got breakfast, seeing few shifters than I expected down there. I ate breakfast on the roof, once again looking over the songs in fae. Since the bathroom was empty when I headed back down, I took a nice long shower, taking extra care with adding lotion and brushing my hair out. I had agreed on having an upswept hairstyle for me to show off my dress so after I brushed it I placed it in a bun for later. Cassie was finally awake and we chatt

    Azalea The doors were already opened and we stepped inside, still laughing about my joke. The music was definately loud and you could see people everywhere dancing and joking and talking. But as we moved into the room and through the crowd, all eyes were on us. It made me a little nervous but Cassie strolled through like it was nothing. We were half way through the room on the way to the tables set at the back when I heard my brother behind us. "Dad is going to have a stoke." I turned and smiled at him. "No shit Sherlock. And where is princess Barbie tonight?" I asked him. "She's over there with her friends. I can't wait for her to see you. She's going to shit a brick. I didn't know you had tatoos. Where is the rest of your dress?" Taylor asked me, stepping closer so he didn't need to yell over the music. I laughed and said "Breathe brother. Damn. It is really that big of a deal? I thought the girls were just exaggerating. And this is all of my dress. Don't you lik

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   School Begins

    AzaleaWhen I got back from meeting with the dean, the girls were all up in our room and we spent the day hanging out and playing video games. It was fun and I ended the night with a call to my mom, telling her about the school and the dance and my new friends. She said I sounded happy and I guess for the first time in a long time I was. Monday was the first day of school and so I was up early. I wanted to get a run in before training so I ate a granola bar while getting dressed and headed out at dawn for the forest. I let my wolf run for about an hour before making my way to the cafeteria. Cassie was sitting with some other girls I didn't know, but who were obviously wolf shifters. I grabbed some real breakfast and sat down beside her to eat while I listened to them talk. Cassie introduced us - they were a few girls she was sorta friendly with from her classes the last few years. They talked about the party and the guys and how a few people had found their mate that night."

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Sparing

    Azalea We settled into a good routine and before I knew it a few months had passes. I would go running in the mornings before class. I loved that alone time, just me and the forrest, it was so freeing and something I hadn't been able to do before coming here. Then classes all day before homework and dinner with the girls. Weekends were relaxing after my short class with Clarissa and Malorie. We spent a few more weekend days at the waterfall before autumn set in and the water became too cold. After the first month I had fully integrated my powers into myself and no longer had to visualize them to use it. I could move anything, big or small, and even people safely. I learned how to make a small whirlwind and how to change the air temperature slightly, about 15 degrees either way. This month they had me shift into my wolf form and then try the same things - moving things, making whirlwinds and changing the air temperature. It was slower progress, my power feeling split be

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   New Attraction

    Logan I was to meet my father at the Enforcers Academy today and I was early, like always. My plane had caught good tail winds so I arrived about 30 minutes early so I headed up to his office. Hopefully this wouldn't take long as I wanted to be back on pack lands tonight. I entered his office and saw he was still conversing with Frankie, who was one of the pack members watching over my sister and brothers while they were at school. I poured myself a drink and wandered over to the desk to see what trouble they had gotten into that had them so engrossed in conversation. "They appear to be very close, sir. There wasn't much abnormal to report before today. They've got to the waterfall a few times, but spend most of their time in their room with the other two girls. They did go to the dance, as you can see by the pictures. But Cassie actually seems to be behaving for the most part - no pranks or fights so far. So it looks like she's a good influence. The other girl though is

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Repercussions

    Azalea I woke to someone poking me and the sounds of chatter. "Are you okay?" "What are you doing up here?" "You never came to the room last night or answered your damn phone." I opened my eyes and could see the girls around me, looking down with worried faces. I sat up slowly, my body hurting and even so my heart. "Oh my god what happened to you?" Cassie asked, squating down to look closer at my busted cheek crusted over with dried blood and my puffy eyes, one of which felt swollen. "I'm fine. It looks worse than it is," I replied, rolling my neck to release some tension. "I just needed some space yesterday." "You know you can talk to us right?" Celia asked gently, handing me a juice for which I was very thankful for. I downed the drink fast and nodded. "I know I just .... can't yet. I will soon though I promise," I replied. Cassie handed me a note and said, "This was slipped under the door for you this morning." "Ugh," I grunted, lightly slapping my forehead.

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Halloween

    Azalea As soon as dusk began we headed down with everyone else. The nights were getting colder and I wished I had werewolf warmth but I had picked out a costume with long sleeves and had on pantyhose to help keep my legs warm. We cut loose and had a blast - we visited and joked with several other people whom I recognized from both my history class and my business class, taking a ton of pictures in crazy poses. My brother Taylor and Cassie's brothers had joined our little group at some point, teasing and tagging along. Today I was thankful for their distraction and even gave my brother a hug. We all sat together and ate dinner at some point and I laughed until my sides hurt at their antics. We played some of the games - my brother winning me a little blue stuffed wolf and then we decided to do the haunted trail. They did a really good job on the trail, having everything from zombies with chainsaws and killer clowns - think IT- to some crazy deformed creatures. We screamed and

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Epilogue

    Logan It’s been a year now. To the day. Today is her official Luna ceremony and the whole council and all of our friends are here to watch and to celebrate with us. I won’t say it’s been easy, but it’s been worth it. To see the carefree way that she laughs and loves, different than before. It made me almost grateful that she didn’t remember everything and it’s been fun to make new memories with her. Seeing her finally walk down the aisle to me with her father by her side, both of them in tears, took my breath away. She was always beautiful, but today she was exceptionally stunning, stealing my very breath. Patching things up with her father again took longer than anything else. I hadn’t ever really talked much to her about her feelings towards him but he explained to me that she had told him she forgave him and that he needed to forgive himself the day before the war. And he struggled with it more this year as he tried to gain her forgiveness again.. But in the end I think he found

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Erasing memories

    AzaleaI didn’t know where I was but where ever it was I felt safe. It wasn’t very bright a pale light illuminating a pathway in front of me. I felt something brush my hand and looked down to see my wolf beside me, her red fur shining and reflecting the little bit of light. How was she here with me? I thought as I ran my hands thru her soft fur, making her purr. I giggled. A wolf purring sounds kinda silly. She made a soft bark before bounding up the path away from me. I followed her quickly, not wanting to be away from her.It wasn’t long before I was in a clearing that was familiar to me. And in the middle, petting my wolf, was the moon goddess. “Am I dead?” I asked sadly as I approached the two. The moon goddess took my hand when I got close and gestured for me to sit, my wolf moving to put her head on my lap once I did.“Not yet my dear. You have a choice, you and your wolf. You did a good thing Azalea, but I know that it weighs heavy on your heart. You can choose, both of you to

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Clean Up

    LoganI watched as her eyes turned back into their silvery color and finally close. I could feel her breathing and I could still feel a very tiny spark inside of her so I knew she wasn’t gone, just very very drained. I picked her up and began walking back towards camp. I kept my eyes forward, the scene around us too horrific to even imagine. I heard several people loosing their stomachs around us.Behind me I heard Lucas tell some of the fae “bring the rain. We all need to ... rinse the day off.” I had just stepped into the forest when I felt the rain start again. My little mate made the rain turn to snow the first time and then after than I think the fae were too scared to do anything. People moved out of my way as I walked, some moving in fear others in reverence. I signed and knew that there would be a lot of questions once she woke.I could feel the rain washing down my mostly naked body and shifted Azalea to the other side so that the rain could wash off Arick... or what was left

I saw the working tirelessly with their elements, a storm brewing above us. The rain would start any minute and while that would hinder the fire fae it would aid the others. I fought off another attacker, still looking for Arick.I was distracted and barely missed the claws aimed at my face. Luckily my mate, in his large black wolf form had grabbed onto the body that tried to attack me.Eyes open my love, he linked to me as he tore into the other were. I turned and got a glimpse of Arick fighting through my second line. I growled loudly, putting power into it, causing the air to vibrate with my anger. The twins were nearby, fighting beside a few of the second line witches and fae. I used my air to push aside bodies as I made my way after Arick.The smell of blood and burned flesh because almost nauseating before the sky spilt open

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   And thus it begins

    Azalea I came back my arms laden with snacks and drinks and we sat around quietly munching. Steve and my father were keeping an eye on Arick’s camp trying to keep an estimate of people still coming in. They were already up to 7000. Suddenly the door busted open and there in the doorway stood my twin protectors, my friends, my brothers. I jumped up and rushed over to them wrapping an arm around each of them, the others on my heels. They sandwiched me in a hug squeezing the breath out of me for a minute before letting me go to greet the others. Behind them was Corsica and Stanley and I greeted them as well. We all squeezed in the small area while they gave an update. The twins had escorted the fae to their pack lands and had a quick visit with their family before returning. I was glad they were back and I told them that we had extra beds in the head quarters. Once Steve updated everyone on the numbers -8000 people now - we decided to call it a night. Tomorrow was the big day. I actua

    Taylor I spent a few hours with my pack, double checking gear, and doing warm ups with them to make sure we stayed fresh and ready to go. I wanted to have dinner with my sister so I headed back through the portal and began looking for her. I checked the hospital, the mess hall and head quarters before going to central ops. There I saw my father and Steve watching the monitors. I asked if they had seen her and they both nodded no. “I saw her last in the woods. That was a few hours ago. You might check there though,” my father said looking at me. “Alright. I’m going to find her and then go to dinner if you guys want to join,” I replied before walking out. I headed to the forest and began searching for her scent. I frowned when I didn’t smell anything until I remembered the potion. She ws probably still taking it for precautions. I began searching for signs and trying to listen hard for her breathing. Finally I picked up another heartbeat and followed it to my sister. She was asleep cra

    Azalea I went straight out to my garden right as the sun was rising and began cutting the plants I needed. There was only one I needed and I knew who would have some as well as be able to help me. When I turned around to go back to the head quarters to see if she was awake, I was startled to see her behind me smiling. I smiled back and said “I should have known. You already have it don’t you? You don’t happen to have a reversal of sorts for it do you? I know it usually only lasts a few hours but I don’t want the twins knocked out for that long if they don’t have to be.” “I do and here, I’ve already prepared it,” she replied smiling as she handed me the wolfsbane and a small vial with a blue potion. I hugged her again and ran off to go wake up Steve. On the way I banged on the trailer door and said loudly to Lucas through our mind link GOOD MORNING LOVE BIRDS! I NEED YOU UP AND DRESSED. YOU HAVE A MISSION. I heard his growl and Cora’s giggle and knew that I would see them soon. Stev

    Azalea9 days. And now that it was finally set, I was nervous. Were we really ready for this? Could I do this? I laid on the top of the RV looking up at the stars, letting the finality of it all wash over me. A year that passed so quickly and yet horrifically slow at the same time. Everything we’ve been doing cumulatively coming together. Tomorrow I would go to the fae lands and make sure that our people were getting sorted. The call would go out and they would begin pouring in from all over the country.Th elders would send out the call to be answered and answered it would like an echo in a cave rebounding exponentially. My front line of fae, witches and enforcers would be here in 3 days while those in the second and third lines would be in fae within the next 5 days. Chance’s team would join us on day 6 right before Arick’s team, ideally, would move in. Day 6 would also see all of the elders and the generals with me for a finally run down all together. In 6 days I would see my mate

  • The Alpha's Surprise Mate   Visits from the Council

    AzaleaWhile we were away Steve made the arrangements for the other council members to come visit later in the week. I spent most of the next day asleep but on the second day I was up and ready to go. Charlotte and Mrs. Morris, who would be interim witch council member, would be the first to come visit followed by Elder Chris from the bear shifters and Elder Sarah from the feline shifters a few days later, the later two who were each bringing with them their top alpha. Rich would be going back and forth as the council members were supposed to be visiting with "me" and him at our pack. In reality he would be helping them go back and forth between the portals. Chance and Lucas showed up on the third day like I had requested. We chatted for a bit and they were both relieved to see I was pretty much back to normal. I had Lucas and Steve put on their gear and show Chance how it worked. The metal smith fae had come through the night before and brought with them additional weapons wh
