Amaya After the incident with Jasper, I wanted to know what happened and how was I able to throw him in the air without touching him? Jasper recovered after two nights in the hospital since then he has been touchy with me. It relaxes my wolf spirit and me because it shows that he is not mad at us and he cares for us, but he makes time to help me figure out what I did and how I did it so far we have nothing. We are in the library within the palace with Melina trying to see if there was anything that we could find that resembles what I did. “Why don’t we search it up on a laptop?” Melina asked, closing another book as she sat across from me. “Because they will give us myths and the books are from our realm so they are accurate,” Jasper said as he walked back looking down at a book. “Maybe that’s what we need. Myths. I’ve never heard of something like this happening, have you?” Melina asked Before Jasper could rebuttal a worker for the palace came through the big library double d
Jasper It was a wild guess. We wanted answers and I intended to get them, there was nothing that could have made sense here so the only thing you can do is throw a shot in the dark and hope it sticks. And this was my shot in the dark. As the doctor did tests and took blood as needed, I saw Amaya feeling increasingly uncomfortable. It got to the point where she would flinch at any movement, I put my hand on her thigh to try and give her comfort but the longer my hand was there the longer she stayed tense. “Can we take a break?” I asked before the doctor stuck a needle into her again on the opposite side of her. The doctor nodded, putting the needle on the tray next to her and leaving, as the door closed Amaya let out a huge sigh of relief. I rested my arm slightly above her head and started to play with her curls that were slicked up into a ponytail on the top of her head. She closed her eyes and slightly leaned into my hand. “Mmm. That’s something I never let people do” she sai
Amaya I would feel out of place and think I was going crazy or thinking too deeply. I don't have someone to lean on and say that to if I told my parents then they would feel that they did something wrong when it was just me or if I told my friends they would say ‘i’m sorry I didn't want them to be sorry I wanted to feel like it was okay to have these feelings. Once I woke up the next morning all I could think about were the books I had read about the kingdom. How the king and queen were rulers of their kind and when they found out they were mates they combined the shifters and the witches so they could work together not against each other, those were my parents. My parents brought them together as they left me with people who weren’t my birth parents. There was a knock on the door but just by the smell and aura coming from the person I knew who it was. I didn’t say anything and he walked through the door. I was swaddled up in my blanket. “Amaya?” he asked coming to stan
Jasper I was slowly but surely getting a plan going. It may be risky but what is life without a little risk? And I would always risk for AmayaWhen I called the royal palace I spoke to the royal governor whom I told to get the prince and princesses here because I have something they may want to see. He said that he would see what he can do. I got a phone call telling me that their plane would be landing in an hour. I plan to show them Amaya’s power. The alpha queen is a powerful witch, the prince is a shifter, and his sisters are witches. If they see Amaya there should be no doubt that she is their blood, then they can see the pack as Amaya and Chole try to win them over. When I got to the training grounds behind the palace, I did pack training earlier so I could train with Amaya alone. I dropped my duffle bag on the ground and took off my shirt and rolled my shoulders back to get a kink out, I turned to see Amaya walking towards me. She wore a black sports bra and a pair o
Amaya I didn’t want to see these people yet. It was too soon, I had just been told that my parents weren’t my parents and now I was standing in front of the kids that they chose to keep. “Pensez-vous que c'est vrai?” the princess asked the prince still looking at me. I had taken french from middle to high school, when I spoke it was bad but I could still understand. She had asked her brother if he thought this was true. “Je ne sais pas, mais elle ressemble à papa” the prince answered, looking at me closer. He responded saying I looked like their father. Did they not know about me? “Where are you from?” the prince asked walking toward me, I could feel his aura that was strong but not enough to make me feel scared. We looked each other in the eye, both unwilling to back down. “Greenfield, Nebraska,” I said, still looking him in his eyes. His eyes widened as he slowly backed away. “How old are you?” he asked in a hushed tone almost like a whisper. “I just turned eighteen” I answer
Jasper After Amaya left and then went back to the palace, I went to the room where I left the prince and the princess. I wanted to stay with Amaya. I didn't want her to be in her head, mainly because tomorrow will be the day she met the pack. I entered the room stopping them in the middle of a conversation, they turned to look at me. “Where is she? Is she okay?” Erica asked, stepping closer to me. “I can’t tell, she just wants to be alone,” I told them “You are welcome to stay here in the palace as long as you are here” As much as I knew they could help Amaya, it was more than clear she didn’t want to talk to anyone right now and I wanted her to be calm for tomorrow. “Thank you, we appreciate that” I nodded as I left the room and told a worker to show them to a room. I needed to find some way to put my mind to rest. I walked to the sanctuary where the statues of our goddess stood. As a kid, it would bring me comfort to know she was not only looking out for us but had set up our
Amaya The next morning when I woke up to my body feeling heavy, after last night my mind and body couldn’t operate the way I needed them to. The last thing I wanted to do today was meet the pack but I had to push through it if I wanted them to like me. I climbed out of bed with the biggest headache, I sat on the edge of my bed with my eyes closed waiting for my head to stop spinning. As I sat there I could hear someone walk through the door of my room. I didn’t want to open my eyes but their smell and aura were familiar. “Are you okay?” Amelia asked. I opened my eyes to see her standing at the foot of the bed. “Yeah, just tired,” I said slowly standing up. “Well come on, we have a lot to do in a little time. And I have a surprise for you!” she said swaying side to side and smiling, curious by this. “What is it?” I asked in the hope of getting a hint. “Get ready and you’ll see,” she said, turning around and leaving. I walked to the closet to see if there was something that I co
Jasper I knew telling Amaya what my father did would cause more problems in the future, but it wasn’t just my life that was being affected negatively. Amaya turned a few months ago and found out that she had powers and was royalty. I walked with her to different games and had her try some of our pack’s food, it hadn’t been that different from the food they make in the human dimension. As we were talking, John and another senior member came up to Amaya and me. “Ah, Jasper, I am so happy to see you having a good time.” he said in a cheerful tone.” “Yes, me too,” I said, trying to be professional. He looked over to Amaya who was standing next to me then back at me as if asking me to introduce him. “ Amaya, this is John. This is Amaya, my mate.” I said. He squinted his eyes at me as if I had said something I shouldn’t have. I knew that saying she was my mate would anger him but the moon goddess chose her to be with me. “Ah, it is nice to finally meet you. You have slowly become
Amaya Walking into the castle, it looked as if it was an ancient Roman chapel. The windows had stained glass with different artworks and designs. We stopped in front of a foyer that had two sets of stairs that split into two with staggered chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The pillars that held everything up seemed to have been renovated, but they still gave off the vibe of an old castle. Lynda stopped in front of me and turned with a grin-eating smile. Lynda and Isabel didn’t give me a reason not to trust them but ever since I became part of the world someone has been trying to hurt me or kill me. “You don’t have to be afraid. The smell of fear is basically pouring out of you” Lynda said looking me up and down. I frowned my eyebrows and looked at her as if she was insane, with the question of how someone can smell an emotion. “Lynda specializes in empathy. She spent years learning to read people” Erica says walking right to me. “I don’t take offense to it, you’ve been through
Amaya I have come to peace with my emotions. The pain, the dullness, the anger. It’s still there, but I tell myself it doesn’t hurt. It wouldn’t be the biggest lie I’ve told myself. I stare at myself in the mirror, not knowing who looks back at me. I try to think back to my life before all of this, about how that was almost a year ago. I wanted so badly to return home to my parents, friends, and school, but now I want to become who I was meant to be. A knock at my door made me snap back into reality; Erica opened the door and walked to me. She wore black leggings with a hoodie; here, she had only worn things a princess would wear. The capital was in Colorado, and even though events on the other side of the barrier didn’t affect the other side, the weather was the same for both. “You ready?” she asked, squeezing my shoulder. I nodded my head and walked out of the now-empty room. I tried to leave all the clothes and other things they had given me while I was here, but everyone enco
Jasper I knew it was coming, I tried to prepare myself but in that moment nothing mattered. The pain that was on her face and the emotions that radiated off of her was enough for me to know that the pain was more than she could handle. I had to shift and move around people to try and catch up to her. I could feel both connections fighting inside of me, one longing to be with Amaya and the other wanting to stay loyal to Chloe. My heart and soul wanted Amaya but I knew I could never have her again. I ran out of the door that she ran out of, not being able to see her. I followed her scent into the woods that were behind the building, I ran trying to catch up to her. I could see her leaning against a tree, her silk dress lit up with the yard lights that were scattered around on the ground. She had her eyes closed inhaling and exhaling deeply, she opened her eyes and turned to me. “What are you doing here?” she asked out of breath. “I had to make sure you were okay,” She pushed hers
Amaya I didn’t know whether to consider the coronation as a wedding or a very overdressed prom. Erica took me outside the barrier to get a dress that the people of the town didn’t make. Due to the multiple attacks that the pack has had, we got a lot of security. It was just Erica and me, she started to ask me about my life. What was I majoring at college, what was my life like growing up, and what was my love life like? I would answer by being careful not to overshare, but I also knew she was only trying to get to know me so I didn’t hold it against her. “When we get to the castle, I just know Isabell will adore you,” She said looking down at her phone and texting someone. “Isabell. She’s the youngest princess right?” I asked. “Yes, our parents had her just five years after they had you. The wolves that are on the board wanted another werewolf, but the witches wanted another witch, and the witches got their wish.” she joked. We slowly pulled up to the first store, we stepped out
Amaya The drive back to the barrier was like a breath of fresh air. There wasn’t any chaos, no one to tell us what we were meant to be doing; just us alone. Sadly, we didn’t get to stay in the hotel as long as I had hoped, but being with Jasper was all I had wanted. When we pulled up to the barrier entrance, it seemed different than when we had come. Once we passed through I could tell something was wrong, we had gotten into the pack’s territory. The border patrol was gone, Jasper looked around to see if anyone was there. We finally got to the palace to find everyone in one of the meeting rooms with a round table in the center and couches along the side, yelling back and forth. Micheal, Jacob, Woods, Princess Erica, and Prince Brandon were all yelling around the table. “What is going on?” Jasper asked once we entered the room. Everyone turned their heads and let out a sigh of relief. “Jasper, I’m so glad you’re safe,” his oldest sister said, coming to give him a hug. Brandon and Er
Jasper Once we passed the barrier, we quickly started diving to our destination. It was as if Amaya was racing time itself, once we got out of the open road and started to encounter traffic I could feel the breath I was holding in release at every stop light and sign. “Where are we going? You need to be pushing a hundred?” I asked as we stopped at a red light. “Well, I haven’t been out of that town for months and neither have you, so we are going to the one place where we can party, drink, eat, and have fun,” she said, turning her head to me. She looked at my hair and started to laugh. “On second thought, you're not going anywhere with your hair like that,” she said as she ran her hand through my hair. It sent a warm spark that surrounded my head as I closed my eyes and leaned into her touch. She took away her hand which made me quickly open my eyes to see that the light had turned green, she continued to drive into the city. The sun had just started to set when I realized where w
Jasper It was slowly but surely getting closer and closer to my birthday. I hadn't liked my birthday but this was the cherry I didn’t need on this horrible day. I had been strategizing how I would run the pack with Amaya and Chloe, ideally, it would be Amaya but I needed to plan for the worst. I wanted to stay in the fantasy that there was a chance that we could be together, and that my father hadn't made a horrible decision for me. As my birthday came up so did the responsibilities of becoming alpha. My father was giving me all of the passcodes and telling me how he had organized the pack and all of its information. I hadn’t liked his way of setting it up so I planned to change it. I spent the rest of my time organizing the files and folders the way I wanted them. I was not the only one who had to prepare to step into a leadership position, Jacob and Elijah and to have lessons on what they do for the former beta and third in command. “So after that, the alphas for the southern
Amaya I never thought my powers were useful or could be used for anything useful. But clearly, Jasper thought I could. As we left the orphanage I couldn’t stop thinking about a conversation I had with my royal siblings. After leaving the woods behind the palace and walking in, I wanted to talk to them, just us. I walked to the hall where the room was and walked in right as they were about to leave. “I want to talk to you,” I said looking at them as they were talking to some workers. They dismissed them, leaving after they bowed. “What is it that you want to talk about so urgently?” Brandon asked “I know that I have a low chance of becoming luna of this pack and or Jasper's mate but I want peace. I want to know that I can leave and not hurt him. Is there a way to make the bond go away without rejecting each other?” I asked, I know the only way to make the mate bond go away was rejection and I’ve heard what it does to people and I don’t want that to happen to us. “There is a way to
Jasper I knew telling Amaya what my father did would cause more problems in the future, but it wasn’t just my life that was being affected negatively. Amaya turned a few months ago and found out that she had powers and was royalty. I walked with her to different games and had her try some of our pack’s food, it hadn’t been that different from the food they make in the human dimension. As we were talking, John and another senior member came up to Amaya and me. “Ah, Jasper, I am so happy to see you having a good time.” he said in a cheerful tone.” “Yes, me too,” I said, trying to be professional. He looked over to Amaya who was standing next to me then back at me as if asking me to introduce him. “ Amaya, this is John. This is Amaya, my mate.” I said. He squinted his eyes at me as if I had said something I shouldn’t have. I knew that saying she was my mate would anger him but the moon goddess chose her to be with me. “Ah, it is nice to finally meet you. You have slowly become
