Happy Friday! I hope you all enjoy this update & your weekend! Next update will be Monday and we will be back at the academy! Leave a gem if your excited to get back to the academy setting and see how that pans out!
Genevieve POV(2 weeks later) Ray & I ended up spending the rest of the break at Hidden Stream, with all of my friends who chose to stay as well. The Alphas all went home the evening after I had returned. Alpha Javier, Alpha Howard, & Luna Marion expressed their joy over the fact that I was alive, while Alpha Maxwell & Beta Ross kept telling me how they were surprised, but not particularly shocked because they'd always known I was special. Before they all left Ray commanded them to keep my existence a secret, sharing that we needed to keep the council in the dark until the Wolf Moon Festival. Ray & I both practiced our portalling throughout that following week, with Crysanthi & Benji both popping in to help us out, but we both ended up getting the hang of it. I was upset to find out that Dimitri had found Nicollette while I was on my jump, but happy that they had found eachother. He & I had even managed to talk Ray & Ronan into allowing Nicollette to start at the academy for
Rayan POV I left the magic lesson early to start dinner for our guests this evening. Pineapple Chicken, Asparagus, & roasted potatoes were what I had decided on, along with Joseph's Apple Crumble that my mate adored. I was happy that Jennifer & Jessica had helped me perfect it over the holidays so that I could make it for my mate all the time. Though tonight I was making it for all of our guests, specifically Dylan & Emma, since all of Red Clay had eaten it at some point in their lives. When Genevieve came in from her lesson I instructed her to get ready for dinner, & she happily obliged, but was sure to tell me that she wasn't wearing her crown because it was too heavy. I knew that ofcourse, which is why I had given it to Benji to thin out & lighten up. I had also given him the staff, telling him to use the enchanted silver & stones to make us a family set of royal crowns & Tiaras. We knew we would have atleast 2 girls, and Genevieve was insistent that our Timekeepers wo
Genevieve POV Schooling at the academy continued as usual, but my work didn't end at the end of the school day. Stella, Kelsey, Greg, Ronan, Ray & I spent our evenings scouring over the Kingdom laws, to find ones that needed to be changed, or disposed of. While it was a tedious task, it was also necessary for the good of the people. We started with those that we knew of but didn't agree with, like the law that stated that when a mated pair found eachother, the woman would leave her pack & join the male's pack. Of course, us females didn't agree with that, finding it sexist that the woman was always supposed to abandon the life she had before she met her mate. So, we decided to change that into a choice, allowing for the mated pair to decide together which pack they would live in & raise their children in. Next was the law that stated that the children of a specific rank would automatically become that rank. That didn't seem fair to me, as I believed that everyone should not
Rayan POV I was woken up by my queen nuzzling into my neck. She was still sleep, & purring as she pressed the weight of her body into me. She was absolutely perfect in every way. I turned my head to check the time on the alarm clock that sat on the night stand, to find that it was well after 6am. She never slept in this late, but I was happy to have the extra time cuddled up with her. Her first class started at 8am & I would miss her all day. So, I wrapped my arms around her & pulled her in tightly before kissing the top of her head. My perfect, gorgeous queen. How had I gotten so lucky? "Mm, what time is it?" Her breath fanned across my neck as she mumbled sleepily. "It's after 6 my love, you slept in." I whispered into the top of her head, breathing in her intoxicating scent. "I'm still not ready to get up. I just wanna lay here & sleep all day. Can I skip?" She mumbled to me, as she draped her leg over mine in an attempt to wiggle even closer to me.
Rayan POV I was sitting there on the edge of the bed caressing her beautiful face when a flash of bright green light lit up the room, telling me that Benji had finally arrived. I looked up from her face to see him staring at her, his face laced with concern. He started chanting something in Gaelic as he made an L shape with his index finger & thumb on each hand before crossing them to make a rectangle. The center of the rectangle glowed a pale green as he peered through it, moving it up & down to inspect the length of her body. He mumbled something & the pale light dissipated before he pulled his hands away. "Well?" I asked him as I continued caressing my Queen's face. "Your doctor is right, the pup is sucking the mystical energy from her. The good news is that you can feed her yours through the mate bond, the bad news is that it's not just yours the pup needs. It needs witch energy too, alot of it. I could give her mine, but it could cause more harm than goo
Genevieve POV I woke up cuddled next to my mate with the morning sun dancing across our bodies as it peeked through the curtains. I rolled over & grabbed my phone to see that it was Tuesday. I found that odd, so I attempted to remember Monday's events, but had no recollection of what had happened. I decided to peer into Ray's mind to figure out what had happened, & was shocked to see that I had been unconscious most of the day. I watched on as my brother, mate & cousin transferred their magical to me, which resulted in Ray falling asleep next to me. "Get out of my head." Ray chuckled into my hair, pulling me out of his mind. "I was just trying to figure out what happened yesterday. I can't believe I was unconscious all day." I told him, pulling my face out of his neck so I could gaze into his gorgeous eyes. "How are you feeling today?" He asked me before I felt his soft lips on my forehead. "Like myself again, so I guess alot better," I told him.
Hey everyone. I have had a busy week and have a busy weekend ahead of me, and am having issues with my arm hurting me as well. So with that being said, I will return on Monday to kick off on Monday or Tuesday with the Wolf Moon Festival, and will try to do an update every single day, as long as my arm cooperates. I am really sorry for the delay, but life has gotten quite hectic recently. I'm hoping to see in calm down next week and give me a chance to give you all indepth chapters, as well as many of them. I am excited to finally get to this stage of the story and am very grateful for your patience as I work through this hectic time.
Rayan POV "Wake up Ray, the council members are here." Ronan's voice boomed through my mind. Ofcourse they were here, first thing on Sunday morning. They wanted their answers & to make their demands. They wanted to give their choices of who my chosen should be, but I already had my mate. They were going to be in for a rude awakening when I tell them that my mother has finally given me a fated mate. I couldn't wait to tell them honestly. "Ofcourse they're already here. Let's get this over then shall we." My mate mumbled through the link. I kissed the top of her head before rolling over & climbing out of bed. She whimpered as I did, & it took everything in me to not climb back in. "I'll hop in first, we don't have time for your shower antics this morning, so sleep a little longer, you can use the extra energy." I told her, & she nodded her head at me as she snuggled with my pillow. I woke her up when I got out of the shower & with a littl
Azak "Let's go everyone! We are going to be late for the party!" I shouted up the stairs from the foyer. Today was the Timekeeper twins sixteenth birthday and the Wolf King and Queen were throwing them a massive party to celebrate. I knew Crysanthi was doing her best to wrangle our three children so we would make it on time, but as it stood, we were already going to be late. Our oldest daughter, Daisy, came running down the steps with her little sister Rose in tow. I could hear my beautiful light upstairs rushing our youngest, Gin, to hurry him up. My boy preferred to do things on his own time, but today was not his day, it was Harmony and Hunter's day, so his mother was rushing him. A few seconds later the two of them appeared at the top of the stairs just before Crysanthi gripped his should and disappeared in a flash of bright pink. Our girls knew well enough by now to know that that was their signal to grab onto me so the three of us could portal out to the party as well, so th
Crysanthi Our peace had been hard won over the past year, but as I sat in the gardens with my light, I knew every bit of it was worth it. He had spent the day gathering fruits and vegetables from the gardens so that we would have plenty of them for Rayan's cooking class tonight. Us Royals still got together every week for dinner to keep in touch, only now Rayan and Genevieve showed up with baby Heidi in tow, usually with Rayan carrying her carseat. She was a precious little wide eyed princess, always so curious and wanting to look around at everything. Tonight Rayan was going to teach us all to cook, though Genevieve would probably spend the evening holding her pup and watching on. But she didn't particularly need to learn to cook, since Rayan was her mate after all. Ember and Fioré had grown closer over the months, and within the next couple of months the dragon Timekeeper princess would come of age and become a Queen herself, just as Genevieve and I had. Then she coul
Crysanthi The weeks flew by as the summer season blossomed. Azak and I had spent much of our time enjoying the summer castle, with him exploring every inch, nook and cranny with me. I wanted to memorize it, as it had been my family home for centuries before I had even been thought of. We spent many evenings in the graveyard Grove under the shade of my deceased loved ones. It had been the perfect reprieve from the war that we were currently in the middle of. Ember and Fioré had stayed in the Elven Kingdom, refusing to leave the new princess unprotected. They didn't want the elves to suffer the same fate that their own people had. Many of the other dragons had joined them as well. Our alliance was paying off quite nicely for everyone involved. Even as the dragons migrated to the Elven Kingdom, their own kingdom was slowly being rebuilt. The elves had even stepped up to help to show their gratitude for having the dragons protecting their princess. Everything was calm and
Azak As the baby's high pitched screams echoed through the hallways, the dark forces began falling to their knees and grabbing at their ears. I took the opportunity to scorch them all as they squealed and hissed, ensuring that if the high pitched noise didn't finish them off, the flames would. Once the flames had died down I felt Crysanthi strongly through our bond, and knew she was right around the corner. When she turned it, I saw that she had the Queen and the Timekeeper Princess in tow. She had to speak loudly, but she told me that she thought we should work our way through the castle with the baby since her cries were dropping the dark forces and I agreed. So we worked our way through the entire castle until we came to the front where the underwater battle continued to rage on. It didn't take long before my little light was using her water magic to create a fifty foot air bubble in the ocean, effectively allowing the princess's cries to reach the sirens and water
Crysanthi It was only a few days after the battle with the dark covens when we received the news that the Atlantian Timekeeper Princess had been born. Azak and I were ecstatic to hear that there had been no issues with her delivery and that all was quiet on the ocean front for now. Fortunately we had been spending the summer in my birth castle which sat just off the coast of the Atlantian Kingdom. So, we decided to take a day to go visit the new princess and offer our support however possible. I was quite excited to meet her, as I had never actually held or even known a baby before. We had arranged to have the water fae warriors set up on the coast line for the time being, just incase the dark forces decided to make a play at attempting to kidnap the new princess. Rayan and Genevieve had even sent some wolf warriors and a coven of witches that were skilled in water magic. We suspected that if a play were to be made, it would be by freaks with water magic. Atleast tha
Azak The next few days passed without incident. Crysanthi and I spent all our time in the Royal suite, enjoying our one on one time since we had gotten very little of it since officially claiming one another. But I suppose all good things must come to end. I watched her portal away without so much as an explanation, as she was coming back from the ensuite bathroom. I began feeling for her through the bond immediately, but it didn't take long before she popped in right infront of me panicked. "Call Rayan, get them to the werecat kingdom now. They're under attack. They didn't want to bother Genevieve with her being so close to her due date, but it's a couple covens of dark witches. They need our help. I'm going to portal Ember to the Elven Kingdom to watch over Queen Eidi. Grab Fioré and follow me. NOW AZAK!" She rambled out. I grabbed my phone off the night stand and followed her out of the suite. I called Rayan as we walked quickly down the stairs to the suite that Ember and Fiore
Crysanthi I woke up to Genevieve and Ember giggling like school girls as they sat on the couch eating their breakfast. When I turned to glare at them they both giggled even more as they sat eating fresh fruit and smoked fish. "Wake up sleepy head. Today you become a Queen!" Genevieve squealed joyfully. She was more excited for me than I was, but I allowed her joy to rub off on me as I jumped out of bed to join them. No doubt Azak had let them in, I'm sure he was quite excited about today's events as well. "I doubt that my coronation will be near as exciting as yours, but I'm ready I suppose." I told them as I sat on the chair across from them. "Wait, what happened at yours?" Ember asked Genevieve curiously with a giggle. "I may or may not have melted the brains of the entire werewolf council. It's no big deal or anything though. They had it coming for plotting against their monarchs." Genevieve answered her casually. Ember's eyes grew wide as she stared at Genevieve causin
Azak Once we had gotten the mess cleaned up from the fight, I had the staff immediately begin decorating for the pup shower that Crysanthi wanted to throw for Genevieve. All of our guests were fine after the battle, and excited for the shower. Genevieve had definitely made her mark on all of us, so it was nice to be able to show our appreciation by doing this for her. I knew I personally would never be able to thank her for handling Lila for me, as I knew I never would have been able to. She had payed back the debt she owed Crysanthi ten times over. But I also knew that Genevieve didn't see it that way. As far as she was concerned, she was just doing her duty as a Timekeeper Queen to regulate the balance of the light and dark. I was also quite happy for her and Rayan, and I wanted to show them how much they were appreciated with this shower. So, I went through, double checking everything from the decorations to the food to ensure that they would enjoy this shower tha
Crysanthi When I jumped back into my body it was late at night and Azak was smiling at me from outside the cell door. I smiled back at him, but my smile immediately faltered when I realized that I smelled like piss. Apparently the version of me that had jumped into my body thought it would be funny to piss herself instead of using the toilet and sink combo that was in the cell for that specific reason. "It was a freak Timekeeper Queen from dimension 5. She thought it would be hilarious to make me watch you piss yourself, and I ofcourse wasn't dumb enough to open the cell to stop her or try to change your clothes my light." Azak spoke softly when he saw that I had noticed my appearance. All I could do was nod my head at his words as I stood up to be let out of the cell. He obliged and unlocked the door for me. I didn't speak a word as I walked up both sets of stairs to our suite to shower. I knew I shouldn't be embarrassed, as it was not me who committed such an embarrassing act, b
