“What are you talking about? Liz, what the hell just happened?” I asked her, confused. I turned my attention back to the older witch.
“We need to go to the lake.” She said, instead of answering my questions.
“Why are we going to the lake?” I asked her, following behind her. Everyone else was following us.
“I need you to repeat what you did last night,” she said.
“Why? I don’t understand. What does this all mean?” l asked her again, but she just kept walking.
We finally made it to the lake, and I followed her on to the dock.
“Now, do what you did last night.” She turned around to face me.
“I don’t know what I did. There was pressure in my chest and I took off running. I don’t even remember hitting the water or swimming out. Just putting my head under the water and let everything out with a scream.” I explained.
“And how were you feeling before this happened?” She asked me.
“Broken.” I answered.
“Your emotions are fueling your magic, and you need to learn how to control it. It’s the only way we can win the upcoming war.” She told me.
“What war? Haven’t I done enough? I’m not fighting anymore.” I told her. The next words stopped me dead in my tracks as I was about to walk away.
“They will just come after you, you and your son, until you are both dead.”
“What the fvck are you talking about?” I growled out, turning around to face her.
“There have already been threats made on both of your lives. Don’t you want to live in peace?” She asked me and I was furious.
“Who the hell dares to threaten my son?” I yelled out.
I was beyond pissed. As my fury took over, I was about to see red.
People want to threaten me, fine, but no one threatens my child. I will rip this entire world apart if anything happens to him.
“This isn’t the first time this magic has been needed. Ashlyn, you need to step up and take control or your life will come crashing down around you.” She told me.
“Did you know about the threats?” I turned and screamed at my mates.
“Babygirl, we are handling them.” Derek told me. I was trying to control my breathing. The pressure was back, and I felt like I was about to explode.
“Everyone needs to back up.” Liz called out.
“What the fvck is happening?” I gasped out, my body glowing white.
“Focus the energy, the magic on the surrounding water. Walk toward the end of the dock and throw your magic into the water”, Liz told me, and my mind was racing and I was finding it hard to focus on anything but the pressure building in my chest.
I moved around Liz and walked until my feet hit the end of the long wooden dock. I moved my hands out in front of me, closed my eyes and focused on the movements of the water. The sun was rising in the sky and it was a beautiful, cloudless spring day.
My tracks as I was about to walk away.
“They will just come after you, you and your son, until you are both dead.”
“What the fvck are you talking about?” I growled out, turning around to face her.

“Focus the energy, the magic on the surrounding water. Walk toward the end of the dock and throw your magic into the water.”, Liz told me, and my mind was racing and I was finding it hard to focus on anything but the pressure building in my chest.
I moved around Liz and walked until my feet hit the end of the long wooden dock. I moved my hands out in front of me, closed my eyes and focused on the movements of the water. The sun was rising in the sky and it was a beautiful, cloudless spring day.
I didn’t need to scream to focus the pressure out of my chest and into my hands. I threw my hands out and gasped behind me, pulled me from my focus. The water was out of the lake when I opened my eyes. It was still moving as if I hadn’t just moved it off the ground. I could see fish, swimming and all the algae and plants.
I gasped, losing my footing and I felt back onto the dock, landing on my a*s. The water shook the ground as it came crashing down. Large waves crashed against the shoreline and onto the dock.
“That was fantastic, Ashlyn.” Liz praised me. I was looking out at the lake, too stunned to move. Derek and Mason rushed to my side, helping me to stand.
“Baby, are you okay?” Mason rushed out.
“What the hell just happened?” I whispered.
“You are an elemental witch. I’ve never seen one and the only one I’ve ever heard of was about three hundred years ago. It was during the Great War. Hybrids are nothing new. During the war, it was pure blood vs hybrids. The hybrids lost because they just didn’t have the numbers. That’s when our kingdoms separated and hybrids outlawed.” Liz explained.
“And why haven’t we learned this?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Memory spell. Only royalty has access to the actual documents of those events.” She answered.
Pulling away from Derek and Mason, I headed toward the house. This was all too much. I think I’ve done enough and risked enough. And now they want me to continue to fight. And fighting for people who had threatened my son. Nope. They could kill each other.
“Babygirl, where are you going?” Derek called out.
“Home, to our son. I’m not doing this again. I’ve lost too much to keep fighting. If they want to kill themselves, then let them.” I told them before I continued to walk back.
“Baby, I know you’re upset. I can feel it, but I think you should listen to Liz. This magic can help you protect James and yourself.” Mason said, running up beside me.
I stopped to look at him before I sighed.
“I can’t lose anymore. This is just too much for one person to deal with. What’s next, you or Derek or both of you? I can not and will not live without both of you.” I told him. He stepped towards me, wrapping me in his arms.
“And you will never have too, Baby. But this can help you protect James. I don’t want to force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but I think you should at least consider it.” He said.
“Mason, I need time to process all of this.” I said, pulling away.
“Prince Derek, blow out some fire breath.” Liz asked him and I looked at her.
“What are you doing?” I asked her.
“I’m showing you what you can do. I know you may not want this, but you have to do something. Our world will not survive another war like that one. They will kill our kind off. Do you want your son to grow up in a world full of destruction and chaos?” She asked me and I sighed. I looked at Derek and nodded to him.
Mason stepped away from me. And when everyone was safe, Derek let Magnus blow out his fire. The ball of heat and light consumed me, but I focused my magic on controlling how it moved around me. lit didn’t take long before the flames were dancing. I threw my arms out, forcing the flames into the lake, where they sizzled before dying out.
Before the water had stopped sizzling, I was already walking back to the house again. If it’s not one thing, it’s another and I’m over it. I made it up to our room. First, I checked on James and then i went to run myself a bath.
I turned the water on and then checked myself in the mirror above the sink. I screamed out, looking at myself.
My eyes were no longer green, deep purple ones were now staring back at me. What the hell is happening to me?
Derek and Mason rushed into the room. They must have heard me scream.
“Baby?” Mason called out from the bedroom.
“I’m in here.” I said, opening the door to the bathroom. They both made it into the bathroom while I shut off the water.
