Remembering her amulet to me I had a whole new feeling about this gift. “Can she infuse her magic into this in more than just what it’ll absorb?” I ask her, trying to keep my feeling of foreboding out of my voice.
But I should have know, she knew, her gifts have saved many lives when it came to an item like this, or like my amulet. The magic that had her giving them unique to her alone, at least till Kassandra. She seemed to have the same knack, remembering the breathing stone she gave her brother in a pendent he had been wearing. 2
He would have drowned without that stone, by placing it in his mouth, he was able to breath the air it had absorbed. It had been a freak accident that had him falling into and then briefly trapped in the lake one summer afternoon. My mates face was serious, as was her tone “I will write the instructions for infusing her magic into it.” her gaze was worried but determined. “At the end of each day, before she rests, she should put her excess power into the rings.”
She looks down at them, pointing “They have an infinity lock, allowing her to store an infinite amount of magic in them. That’ll be important, as most objects can only hold so much, but this will allow her to draw on the magic as needed without, depleting the ring completely.” My amulet had been a one time use with it’s magic. This would mean these rings could be used throughout her lifetime. Used when necessary.
“They also can store more than the wearers magic, she’ll be able to pass them on to her pups, and they will be able to draw on her magic in case they had to, and add their own magic into the rings.” she said “I added a fail safe though, once on her, they will only answer to her, or someone of her direct bloodline, and they’ll recognize intent to the original host.”
This meant they could never be used to harm her, or by someone not meant to have them. Her first gift to Alora such an important one. It only seemed right.
Alora’s POV
The twins followed me out to the court yard, leaning against the willow behind me. I was sitting on the stone bench, my back facing the tree looking at the koi pond. I was just sitting there breathing in the air, letting my emotions settle. Centering myself after everything that had went on in the Kitchen. I a was true Clan Alpha now. The amount of power that came with that was heady. The responsibility a weight. 3
But the weight didn’t crush me, because I was strong enough to carry it, and I didn’t carry it alone. I had a Beta and Gamma to help me run my new Clan. I was also not the only Hybrid. I didn’t even think to ask Victor about his Sprite, I’ll do that later when I see him tomorrow. Maybe he and I could get in some sword training with our Sprites. That would be nice.
I look up at the sky, taking a deep breath of the late spring air. It was cleansing, like it took away all the bad of the past with it, letting me ready myself to embrace my future. I felt my spirit lift. There was a lot of good that had happened, and I was going to embrace and be grateful for every bit of it. I felt Selena and Xena relax as I let the air and the nature around us renew us.
I must have sat there, just breathing, for at least two hours. Just letting my thoughts drift, allowing myself to feel the peace being here brought. The twins stirred, someone was coming out the of the
House, coming in our direction. I see that it was Jaxon and Victor. The twins settle back into their original positions, returning to casually guarding me, their Alpha. I had a feeling they would be following me from now on.
It was their job anyway, they are my Enforcers. Jaxon and Victor reach us, their holding hands, the love already between them visible, warming my heart. I smile at them “Is there something you wanted?” I ask in a gentle tone.
Victor looks at me “I wanted to introduce you to my Sprite.” he says.
I smile brighter “I would love to meet your Sprite, Oh! do you practice sword fighting?” excitement in my voice.
He smiles, looking relived, like he had been worried I wouldn’t want to meet his Sprite “Yes, I practice sword fighting, and it would be an honor to train with you.” he tells me.
That made me happy, Selena loved sword fighting, now she had a real opponent to train with. “Tomorrow, Master Brock has an amazing collection of swords.” I tell him.
He smiles at that, I see he is genuinely looking forward to training tomorrow. “I’m looking forward to tomorrows training session even more now.” he says.
“So what’s your Sprits name?” I ask him.
“My Sprites name is Nicholas.” he says. O
“And your wolf?” I didn’t know his wolf’s name either.
“His name is Vash.” he tells me.
“Thank you for telling me, do I get to meet Nicholas and Vash now?” I ask him.
He look delighted, his Alpha wanting to meet all sides of him. “Yes.”
Then he takes his glasses off, handing them to Jaxon. Closing his eyes he says “Nicholas.”
His form grows to six foot nine, taller then I had been. His new form stayed in proportion with his original form. His skin pale, but his hair became pure white, his eyes still white with the red rim. He bowed to me, and in a deep echoing voice said “It is an honor to meet you Princess.” he straightens to look me in the eye.
I smile, I had forgotten what being the daughter of the King of all Vampires meant, but that was because it was so new. “It is an honor to meet you as well.” I tell him honestly. “I look forward to our training session tomorrow.”
He nods, then fades back allowing Victor to return too his human form. Then he brings Vash forward, enough so his eyes changed to a glowing blue, with that red rim still present. Vash was able to speak through Victor. He bows his head, a submissive gesture “Greetings my Alpha, it is my honor to greet you and serve as your Gamma” he says in a deep rumbly voice.
I nod at him, smiling. “It is my honor to have you in my service Vash, I look forward to seeing you train tomorrow.” Vash bows once more before fading away. The introductions over, I was glad I had met them. It was important to know all facets of your
Clan leaders. We were the role models now, the ones they would look up to. I would make sure all of my Clan members were cared for. They and their children will know acceptance, they would not be rejected by me for their differences.
ON
We all visit for a time, Jaxon and Victor sitting on the ground in front of me. Galen and Kian coming to sit on the ground to either side of me, forming a circle. I got to know more about them all. They told me stories about each of their childhood years, about
their family’s, their siblings. I told them more about me. I learned I had a sense of humor they liked. 2
Feeling truly at peace and accepted by my new Clan members. It was a wonderful way to end the evening. We only went in when the Luna came out the kitchen patio door and shouted “Dinner” a call no hungry wolf would ever ignore.
