When we go to bed that night Dante and I are still oddly quiet after the day's events. Not sure where to start on the entire subject, I, instead, sit in quiet contemplation for a while. How are we supposed to get the entire pack to let me put protection spells on them? I am not sure about the potions but I do not think that there is a way to slip them all a protection potion without them knowing what is going on. I would really rather not worry the entire pack about the situation with the witches but it is beginning to look like we will not have a choice.
"Sweetheart, you have been quiet all evening. I know this is a lot to handle but is there anything that I can do to help you out?" Dante offers.
"Not unless you know exactly how we should slip these potions to the entire pack?" I ask him hopefully.
"Well, we can ask but there might be a way to put the potion into a big punch bowl along with some other drinks during the next pack dinner. I am starting to worry t
The last morning with Rosa I decided it best to get a head start. After our experiment in the woods that resulted in me opening my senses to nature more, I feel like I have a hyper awareness of my surroundings. Before, just my 5 main senses were enhanced from being a werewolf. Now, it feels like they are almost secondary to the awareness that I receive from being a witch. I canfeel what is going on around me instead of just hearing, smelling, or seeing it. I can feel each breath that Dante takes from beside me, I can feel Rosa already awake and waiting for me. I can evenfeela sense of danger in the air for the future.Now that I know that Rosa is to leave today, I cannot help but wonder if we have been right to trust her all along. Is she really leaving so that she does not draw more attention to me, or is she leaving before I learn more than she wants me to learn? I want to believe that she really is trying to help
We made the fast trek to my old den without any witnesses as to where we were going. I am still nervous to step back inside after Quin was attacked. I am not sure what to expect. Hopefully, no more damage has been done to the place after the last time I stopped by. When I go to climb inside, I realize that I am definitely not the same size I was before I moved in with Dante. I definitely gained some more meat and muscle on my previously skeletal frame.As we enter the den formally I am slightly pleased to see that it does not look like anybody else has invaded my den. I might not have been here for a while but it still feels like a piece of me in here. "I see what you mean by somebody stopping in. It looks like they were trying to find out who, exactly, you are. I am not sure who was here but it definitely looks like they were trying to find out if you are the hybrid that we have been searching for or not." Rosa states while studying the runes.After our work yes
Learning potions and spells is not as easy as opening myself up to nature was. I was hoping that it would come much more naturally to me than it did but turns out, I might actually have to practice this. I have never done homework before so this is going to go interestingly. "Good, now make sure that whenever you say a spell that you say it with intent while picturing exactly what you want to happen as well. DO NOT let yourself get distracted during a spell or a potion. That can cause the spell to have the opposite effect as desired if not worse. Now, I want you to keep practicing every day until this all comes second nature to you. Even if I am not around you have to keep up with it to make sure that you are not doing more harm than good with your potions." Rosa instructs. It is time for us to head back to the pack house and for Rosa to leave for the Coven again. I would like to learn more from her before she leaves but I am out of time for that. Will I
With Rosa gone making the extra protection potions takes a little longer. I did not realize how much I relied on her to guide me in making these potions. Sometimes, I find myself second guessing what I already know while other times I make simple mistakes that I know better than to make. When Rosa was here, I did not second guess myself because she was constantly with me keeping an eye on me. Now that I rely on just myself, I find it much harder to keep track of everything.Dante wants to help me with the potions but there is not much that he can do. With the threat of the witches closer than ever we have to amp up the defense classes and add in some moves that would be more oriented towards witches instead of other wolves. I still feel as if we should tell the rest of the pack what is going on with them and I think that Dante is starting to agree. He has not fully admitted it but it seems ridiculous to try and keep this from them much longer since we know more about wh
We managed to gather up the rest of the herbs rather quickly after our tumble on the forest floor. Turns out after we let out some pent up frustrations and found a way to smile some more it helped us to think clearer. With the clearer thoughts we were able to get our work done much faster than before. We got all of the ingredients back to the den before heading home to rest for a while. Tomorrow is the day that we are having the pack dinner so I have to get a lot of potions done tomorrow before then so that we can add them to everybody's drinks.Before Rosa left she made sure to let me know that most potions can not be mixed with other potions or else the effect will be neutralized. I want to make sure that everybody gets the most out of the potions so I am just going to make a general protection potion for everybody to drink. Dante is planning a punch that has some sherbet in it that will hopefully help mask the flavor of the potion.For dinner tonight, we
Today is going to be a long day. Today is the day that I spend the entire day making potions and then after slipping them to the pack I have to come clean to all of them. I know that this is what I wanted but I am still terrified that they will not accept me anymore after I tell them all the truth. Who would want a Luna that comes with that kind of bounty on her head?Dante does not seem worried about it and says that they will all continue to love and support me no matter what but I just do not see how that is possible. How will they continue to let me teach their children and the women how to fight?These worries are not going to help me get everything done in time though so I might as well get out of bed and get going. I haven't even opened my eyes yet because I want to drag on my last little bit of peace for as long as I can. The future is so undecided that I want to live in this moment of safety. As I finally open my eyes a squint, I look over to Dante's side of the
My head is pounding. I am not sure why I am laying on the ground but it feels like I got hit by a car. What exactly happened to me? As I slowly force my eyes open, I can see Dante leaning over me looking worried. I can see his lips moving but cannot make out what he is trying to say. I am sure that he is talking but I cannot seem to hear anything he says past the ringing in my ears. I let out a small groan as I try to sit up.Dante helps me get to a seated position and then continues to support me with an arm behind my back when he sees how unstable I am. There is a weird taste in my mouth that I just cannot place. All I ate today was the lunch that Dante dropped off and I drank water from the stream nearby but maybe the taste comes from the fumes from the potions that I have been working so hard to make all day?When I continue to not answer Dante, I finally hear him through our mind link say, "Are you okay? Why aren't you answering me?"Even through the
"What are you talking about? Do you know who did this to me?" I ask her confused."Not for sure. I have it narrowed down to a couple of people. It seems like they do not want to wait until they know who you are for sure to attack. Did you get a good look at them at all?" She asks me."No, I thought that Dante had dropped off my lunch but he told me that he did not so it must have been someone else. I am assuming that I was poisoned but as a werewolf I do not see what they thought that they would gain from poisoning me." I admit."Not sure. We know very well that werewolves do not respond to poison like others do. Maybe they thought that your witch side would offset your wolf side and you would be affected worse. Do you know what it is that you ingested?" She asks me hopefully.I just shake my head and say, "No idea. I was hoping that you would be able to tell me actually.""Is there any food left? If so I might be able to identify the poison. It mi
