2022-02-19 00:24:23It has been three days since I stored my magic, and I really don’t miss it as much as I thought I would. My mom did such an amazing job raising me to be able to survive without it, that it’s just second nature now. I’m sure she probably knew this would happen. That’s why she raised me to be able to survive without it. Either way, I’m still happy. Dahlia has not succeeded in stealing my happiness.
I am still getting used to having so many guards around me, but I’m also never lonely. None of my guards give me the creeps. They are all great people and are very close to being considered friends. I really do like them all. We all joke around and have fun. That’s the way I wanted it. Elliot seems to like that we all have fun together too. I catch him laughing with the guys a lot. I am really happy to see him happy, even though life has tried to knock us down since we got together.
I have decided that I would really like to take a walk in the woods today. I always have love

After lunch, I was in the office looking for Maija prints to be able to hang on the walls in the living room and conference room. I’m a huge fan of her work, and they fit with our home. Elliot walked in and asked to sit in his chair. I stood up, let him sit down, then I sat in his lap without ever taking my hand off the mouse or my eyes off the screen. He laughed, “What has you so enthralled that you can’t even say hi?” I chuckled, “I’m looking for Maija prints for the living room and conference room. Look.” He looked at the prints and agreed fully with me, “Those are perfect for this house. I see about eight of them that I would love to own.” I started laughing at him and he raised his eyebrows at me, “What? They’re really good!” I laughed even harder, “What happened to letting me decorate the house?” He chuckled, “Well don’t show me this stuff if you don’t want my input.” I snuggled closer to him, “I do love that we love the same things. Which ones were you going to choose?” He po

The way Elliot yelled my name, I honestly thought something was seriously wrong. When I walked in the door, I could tell that it was something totally the opposite. He was looking at his computer screen and smiling. Is that a tear falling? What the hell could make my big, burly, wolf/dragon hybrid happy to the point of tears? “Are you okay?” I asked. He smiled and waved me over to his side of the desk, “These pictures are amazing. All of them.” He started from the beginning, and I gasped at almost every single one. He pulled up a picture of us holding hands and walking the trail. It’s a view from behind, and we are looking at each other and smiling. He smiled, “I want this one over our mantle. What do you think?” I nodded, “It’s a possibility. What about the rest of them?” He laughed, “You’re going to have a hard time. Trust me. Beagan is really good! She deserves a bonus for this work.” I shrugged, “So maybe we should give her a bonus.” He smiled, “We will. These are better than I

Elliot asked, “Do you know something that we don’t know?” Selene sighed, “I can’t divulge anything, because it will be messing with your freewill. Just suffice it to say that Elisa will be the key to her siblings’ future as well as the future of many families.” I chuckled, “Well, that was about as clear as mud. But I realize you intended it that way. I do appreciate you telling us what you did.” Selene smiled at me, “So smart and so kind. I know you will fulfill your prophesy. On that note, I should get going. By the way, Elisa, I don’t know how you keep all that magic under control. I’m carrying less than half of it and I’m struggling.” Queen Carina giggled, “I know that feeling! I nearly burned down my house when I started a fire in my fireplace yesterday.” Everyone laughed as Queen Eden chimed in, “Tell me about it. I’m struggling with it too. King Izzoth, you should probably watch your step until I can give her magic back.” King Izzoth grinned, “Dually noted.” Everyone i

I gasped, “What kind of mother does that?” My mom wrapped her arms around me, “A mother who doesn’t deserve you. That’s for sure.” I hugged my mom and walked to Elliot, “I’m so glad Abel noticed that. I could’ve gotten you killed.” Then I looked at everyone, “I want this bitch dead! She deserves no less.” Everyone agreed and we continued walking. We got to the rock formation, and Abel smelled it, “Still enchanted.” I asked Abel, “Is there anything else that is enchanted that we didn’t notice before?” Abel started sniffing the air and found that the waterfall was also enchanted. The spell was lifted, and we all started to walk back. As we walked back, Abel was finding enchanted things everywhere! I was about to lose my mind when mom finally got pissed. She asked Queen Carina and Selene, “Do you have her magic concealed? I want Dahlia here.” They both said they do and mom yelled, “Dahlia, get your fucking ass here now!” Dahlia appeared in front of us, mad as hell, “What the fu

Everyone looked at me with skepticism as I continued, “Why can’t I use her past against her. I would use it to weaken her, so that she can be captured or killed.” Elliot pulled me close, “I would prefer she were killed.” Everyone else nodded, “Same here.” I added, “But I will need my siblings’ help.” That’s when everyone’s faces went from agreement to some kind of combination of anger, intrigue and an absolute “hell no”. I continued, “She wants me there. She thinks she can torture me into telling her where my magic is. I have a feeling she will actually try to torture my siblings to get me to tell her. Mom, I need a protection and numbing spell put on each of them. It wouldn’t hurt for you to do it for me too. I would also like to take a few fairies with me, shrunk to fly size, of course.” Queen Eden sighed, “If you do this, I want some angels going with you too. And you know King Izzoth will want a couple demons to go too.” I asked, “Can they shrink to the same size as the

I smiled, “I thought you’d never ask. Would you mind if a couple demons shrank down really tiny and came with me?” King Izzoth smiled, “You read my mind. I will send four with you.” Then Queen Eden smiled, “And I will match his with my angels. You can’t have all bad influences.” Everyone at the table laughed, including King Izzoth. Then Blitz, leader of the werehawks, added, “I will have several of my guys watching over you all as well.” Then, I asked Queen Carina, “Do you think I could have a couple Fairies come with me too?” She smiled, “I was going to suggest four of them.” Elliot smiled, “This is why I love being a part of this alliance. It helps me a lot to know that my mate will not be alone in that castle.” After the arrangements were made, I told everyone that I plan on doing this in two days. I want to give everyone the proper time to prepare, and I want to make sure my mom has put the spells on my siblings, my mate and me. I don’t want to go until I know that is do

I look around the room and I hear one of the fairies, “Everyone made it. Let’s get to work.” I see my siblings with their chins hanging open. I ask the brother that is hurt, “Are you in any pain?” He just shook his head, “No, what does it matter to you? I’m a stranger to you.” I chuckle to myself and tell him, “I tend to care about everyone.” Then my sister asked, “What is your name?” I smiled, “I’m Elisabeth, but just call me Elisa. What are all your names?” Just then, the door burst open and Dahlia came running into the room, “So, you finally fell for my trap! You didn’t have any werebears to help you locate them this time?” I replied, “No, I was needing some time alone. The enchantment had been removed from that Willow tree, but apparently you put the spell back on.” She nodded, “I did. I had a feeling either that tree or the blackberry bushes would get you.” I smiled, “Oh, I won’t be needing those blackberries for a while. My mom made sure of that.” Dahlia’s face turned

When I opened my eyes, all of my siblings were looking at me. Taylor shook her head, “You really are a sucker for punishment.” I shrugged, “I’m pretty headstrong. Ask my mom. I gave her a hard time a lot.” Blaise laughed, “Must run in the family.” I laughed. I looked out the window, and the sun was shining into the room, “Was I out all night?” They all nodded as they smiled at me. Max chuckled, “I think she knocked you out because you woke her up. That vent behind you carries noise from in here, straight to her room.” I went wide-eyed, “Shit! I wonder if she heard my mom?” Then one of the fairies spoke in my ear, “She didn’t hear any of that. She’s still totally unaware that we are here.” I breathed a sigh of relief, “We’re all good.” “Can any of you look out that window,” I asked. Taylor stood and stared out the window for a few minutes then turned to me with a tear in her eyes, “I just saw my parents playing frisbee with me. I totally forgot they used to do that.” I smiled

Twenty Years Later I’m sitting in my favorite spot with my mate sitting behind me in my favorite lounge chair. We are both drinking our morning coffee as two mountain lions walked up to the deck. They both bowed to us, and I smiled, “Good morning, Dusty. Good morning, Lilly.” Dusty found his mate in his own pack on his sixteenth birthday. We had a party for him that night and he introduced her to all of us. She is such a sweet girl I really couldn’t wish for anything better for him. Robert and Katie are so proud of them. They had four children and they only have two still at home. I am so proud of the parents they are. The two children that have already found their mates and left are absolutely awesome. Linden found his mate and decided to build another house close to our land. His mate understands that he needs to be close to family and his siblings are all he has left. His father passed away when my triplets were only two years old. It was an extremely hard time for him. We made s

Robert and Katie laughed and shook their heads as Robert smiled, “Now that would make me rethink my choice to be a parent.” I laughed, “I think she did.” Just then, Calista ran out onto the deck, “Good morning, mom.” She sat in my lap and hugged me tightly. I turned her around and introduced her to them. She smiled, “It’s very nice to meet my Uncle Dusty’s parents. I love him so much!” Katie smiled, “I’m so glad you love him, Calista.” I asked Calista, “Is anyone else up?” She smiled, “Dad is up with Raze and Eva.” I laughed, “Is Willow awake yet?” She shook her head, “She was sleeping peacefully when I came out.” I smiled, “Thank you. I guess you would like some breakfast, huh?” She smiled and shook her head shyly. I smiled, “Okay.” Then I turned to Robert and Katie, “Would you like to join us?” They agreed and followed me and Calista into the house. I cooked a big breakfast and had it all laid on the table. As soon as it was all prepared, it sounded like a herd of horses coming down

When Taylor was done feeding the boys, Evan and I took the boys in the living room to visit with everyone else. Uncle Dax was the first to hold out his arms. Evan smiled as he held out the first baby boy, “You are now holding Cain, and the boy mom is holding is Dylan.” After Doctor Harper was done with Taylor, I walked with her to another guest room in the house and smiled, “I remember how all I wanted after all that was to take a shower. Is that what you would like?” She replied, “Definitely.” I smiled, “You go ahead and take a shower. That shower has a bench in it so you can sit. I would highly recommend using it. I will get you some clothes.” I opened the closet door and found a perfect pair of soft sweatpants and a t-shirt that looked lusciously oversized. I grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra and put them on the bed. When Taylor walked out of the bathroom in a towel, I asked, “Feeling better?” She smiled, “That did feel better.” I got you a comfy pair of sweats and an oversized

Seven months later… Taylor and Evan are staying in the guest house with dad and Linden. Taylor wants me to be there for her when she gives birth. She’s afraid Evan is going to pass out. Evan agrees with her, but he still wants to be there for her and to see his babies being born. He swears we will try his hardest to stay conscious. We all laugh and Elliot smiles, “I don’t blame you, dude. I almost passed out a few times.” We were all eating breakfast one morning when Taylor gasped, “Oh dear. I’m pretty sure I’m in labor.” I smiled, “Evan, you need to be keeping track of how far apart the contractions are. Let us know when they are around five minutes apart. Taylor, you need to tell him when each contraction starts and ends. Okay?” She nodded in reply and I called Doctor Harper. Doctor Harper said she would start driving here now, so we will be ready. Wow. The whole family showed up! Within 2 hours, Elliot and I were sitting in the living room with dad, my mom, Evan’s parents, Aidint

I laughed, “I understand completely.” Calista smiled, “I can sing for you, Uncle Dusty.” He looked at me and I nodded, “Trust me… You want to hear this.” Dusty nodded, “I would love to hear you sing.” Calista started singing the most beautiful and relaxing song I have ever heard and Dusty looks so relaxed and happy. When the song ends, Dusty chuckles, “Calista, you are awesome!” She smiles proudly, “I’m a mermaid/wolf hybrid and an omega. My mom and dad rescued me from my old alpha. He kept me in a tiny room under the stairs in his packhouse. He was planning on marking and mating me. They rescued me just in time.” Dusty asked, “What happened to your family?” She looked down at her hands in her lap, “My old alpha killed my parents and my brother. My parents hid me, but I saw him rip my brother’s head off. But I have mom and dad now and I have the best family ever. I have LOTS of uncles and grandparents and now I have a brother and SISTERS! I really am a lucky girl.” Dusty pulled her clo

One week later… Mom spent the night with us last night because mommy, daddy and sister all needed to get a full night of sleep. We were all starting to get quite cranky. I don’t think I was ever more thankful for my mom when she offered to stay overnight. After feeding the babies at eight pm, I went straight to bed. I think Calista went to bed before I did and Elliot was waiting for me in bed when I got there. We all slept like rocks and I didn’t wake up the entire night. It was my best night’s sleep since the night before I gave birth to all of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love all three of my newborns. But they are definitely little sleep robbers! Ladies, let me give you a bit of advice. When other women tell you to sleep when they sleep, LISTEN! Trust me, it makes perfect sense. If the things you need to do can wait, do it. They have been wearing us all out. Raze has an insatiable appetite. We were at the grocery store yesterday, and a little older lady heard Raze’s hungry screams.

I held her close to me, “I don’t care how many little girls we give birth to; you will always be our baby girl. You just won’t be the only one anymore. Okay?” She smiled as she snuggled closer to me, “I like that idea.” I smiled, “Me too.” Then I asked her, “What do you think of being a big sister now that you’ve seen your new brother and sisters?” She giggled, “I am going to have so much fun. Especially with Eva! She’s like me!” I started yawning and Elliot sighed, “Are you ready to get some sleep, love?” I shrugged, “Yeah, I better sleep while I can. Doctor Harper left some formula on the counter with the bottles. There are plenty of diapers in the nursery next to our room. Would you please turn on the baby monitor before you come to bed?” Elliot smiled, “We have plenty of help, love.” I reminded him, “Doctor Harper told me to alternate between formula and breast milk. Next feeding, you all can feed them, but please wake me to feed them when they wake to eat after that.” Mom nodded,

I suddenly felt fear wash over me and I was almost paralyzed. What if I’m a horrible mom? I mean I would never do what Dahlia did to me, but what if I don’t develop that mother-child bond? I’m scared to death but then Elliot leans to comfort me and says in low voice into my ear, “You’re going to be fine, love. You are nothing but kind and nurturing. You’ve worked wonders with Calista. You have nothing to fear, baby. You also have tons of help at your fingertips.” I smiled as he kissed my forehead, “You always know exactly what I need to hear. I love you so much.” With that, I felt my stomach get tight and I lifted my torso to bear down, pushing to help our first baby through the birth canal. Doctor Harper encouraged, “That was a really good one, Elisa. Need another push.” Another contraction hit and I started pushing again. I was pushing and felt a sudden reduction in pressure. Doctor Harper smiled, “Here is your prince!” Our little boy started wailing as his father cut the cord, “He’

I sat in the living room with my feet up with dad, Elliot, Evan, Linden and Max. I was trying to relax, but my back started hurting. The ache started moving around to my belly and I could feel my belly squeezing tightly. It wasn’t so painful that it was alarming, it just really caught my attention. I raised my shirt to expose my belly as another contraction hit. As my belly contracted, I tapped Elliot to get his attention. As we both looked down at my belly, Elliot gasped as the babies were clearly visible as my belly squeezed around them. He asked, “That looks like it hurts so bad, and you are just sitting there looking at it. You are tougher than I am.” I laughed, “My back hurts worse than my belly.” Doctor Harper walked in, “Don’t get used to it. It won’t stay this way.” I looked up at her, smiling, “It will all be worth it. I can’t wait to meet them.” Doctor Harper smiled, “You are going to be such a great mother.” I asked, “Do you think a numbing spell would be a good idea?” She
