Chapter 3
We head down to eat or I thought to eat. To leave the house you have to go upstairs to eat a meal you have to go downstairs. I love the way our house is built. Luna Bronwyn helped me spell the house to only reveal the entrance for those in the green lake pack. And those the pack have a familiar type alliance. This includes only the royal pack when it breaks off of the shadow pack and the hidden flower pack and the whispering wind packcoven. I turn to head to the dining hall which during the day is set up like a buffet-style restaurant. With snacks on snacks for days. We wolves work up an appetite.
But Addie grabs my arm pulling me the other way. Heading down the hall to the recreational floor. The pack has a giant floor for several different activities. Watching movies to games. This is to help keep the pups entertained when in the house after crew few and during storms. The area is also used for parties and big gatherings. I had asked for my birthday to be small but being the future alpha makes that a no go. Walking into the room is shining with the silver and emerald green of our pack. White lilies in every centerpiece. lilies were the first flower I ever received and have been my favorite since the day my fathers gave them to me. Giggles and squeals are echoing around the room telling me Jordan is chasing nova around. They are good pups and as much as I complain about their grumpiness I have to admit it's not nearly as bad as it could be. They for the most part act like best friends who can't see each other every day and the longer they go a depression slowly sneaks in. So to save this from happening we started doing it every weekend they are together during the school year. On holiday breaks they take turns who goes where. And if I am to be competently honest I am a little jealous of them.
They will grow up knowing they are mates and that a bond is already in place due to Jordan's fairy blood. Turns out that fae offspring are open to all bonds around them until the age of five. This helps them connect and bond to the wild magic fae use. Fae has a bond similar to a mate bond with wild magic. This is magic that is all around us. fae are not born with magic it's the bond they form with the magic in the first five years that make the well inside them fill with magic. Why have our bodies open so wide for so long so that the offspring's system can slowly make the bonds setting them as strong as they can be? Fae is the keeps of balance. There are not a lot of books around on fae so a lot is hearsay and trial and error. When Jordan claimed nova as his the rumors of the open pathways for fae seems to be on point to what we heard.
Jordan won't have magic as I do but he will have enhanced reflexes and skills as a warrior. Being alpha born by our mother will also play part in his overall size and skills when he gets older. There is a chance he will get his wolf at thirteen as I did. At thirteen your ability to do weird magic awakens. Witches get their magic at 18 this a what had saved Sharon from Kane. The goddess helped to guild her to the big guys. The witch Edith had not to take the rumors of the fae’s magic awakening at thirteen. Sharon being half-witch and half royal fae caused her to awaken fully at thirteen as I did. A witch wolf hybrid gets their wolf at 16 like every other wolf and their magic awakens at 18. the only logic I can think of is since fae are born of magic we have a closer relationship to magic. Magic is in our blood. Wolves and witches were made by the goddess so they are not from the wild magic. Witch's base was human so that is they are limited to the human body's limits. Wolves were made from a combination of the wild magic moon goddess and humans. This gives us our duo forms and enhances everything.
The other races have their own back story and I should be reading that book I was assigned for summer reading by Luna Bronwyn, but it's so boring. I wonder if there's a way to make the words turn into a movie in my head. Or is that cheating? Shrugging I look around spotting the tell, tell sign one of them is under a table. Grabbing a stack of cookies I slip away from Addie who is talking to some lady I think I saw at one of the shops in the mall. Quickly I slid under the table I find both Jordan and nova laying on their backs breathing hard. Nova opens her mouth but I cover it. “shhhhh. If you be quiet ill share my cookies.” I say wiggling the sleeve of cookies both their heads nod so fast. They sit up and I open up the cookies. Splitting them between the three of us “if anyone asks where you got the cookies?” I raise my brow when novas sweet baby voice says just above a whisper “the fairy king gave it to us.” she giggles making me giggle as well.
It's been an ongoing joke to blame Sharon's father for things as he is still trying to recover from being Edith's slave and prisoner for over 200 years. So he's consequently summoning or creating things he probably shouldn't. Once such time he created a fire-breathing frog and gave it to Jordan. That was a disaster. Sharon and Luna Bronwyn took care of that pretty fast. A few lunch tables may still have char marks on them but that just adds to the character right.
