Chapter 13
After dinner, we all played games before saying our good nights. To make the time I will be heading out before they all get up in the morning so this is the last time I will see my family for a while. Give Jordan a big hug and promise to call all the time. Reading him a story before bed. Something I have not done in a while, not since the dads took over. They do all the voices and jump around making Jordan laugh and they enjoy that time with him as well. I thank the goddess every day for making them our parents.
One last kiss on his forehead and I slip out of his room. My dads standing in the hall waiting for me. Going to them hugging them tight letting all my fears and worry pour out of me to them. They have been my rock from day one. Never pushing me to talk about before then but pushing me to be my best. letting me work through my problems but being there for me when I fall. But they won't be there to pick me up after today. Hugging me tight not saying just letting me know they love me. After a few minutes we pull apart and taking my face in his hands “you know how proud we are of you and how much we love you. It's time for you to spread your wings make mistakes and be young once you come home you will start taking things over for your father.” dad says tears in his eyes and his words sink in I nod. “remember there is nothing you can do that will ever that will take our love away.” “your dad's right little one we will always have your six. To find your path and pave your way to be the alpha I can see in you.” my father says kissing my cheek.
“I love you both and thank the goddess for letting me have you as my parents. You both have given me the tools to begin this journey and the strength to see it through. I will make you proud of me.” “We already are” shaking my head “no not as your daughter as alpha as a person in the world I want to deserve being alpha not just because you see it in me but I see it as well as the world.” “well said alpha. We will be here for you always” one last hug and kiss on my forehead. They went to their room. Going to my room climbing into my bed one last time I let the tears I had been holding back fall. Telling myself to let it all go because in the morning I can no longer be a pup.
Waking before the sun rises in the sky I sneak out of my room tip toe to make a travel mug of coffee and grab a muffin. Once my breakfast is in hand I slip out of our suite. Turning left to head to the underground parking garage taking my time walking to my truck. Nibbling on my banana muffin. Over the last few days, I have been feeling both excited and worried. Still feeling the same way I decide it's because of leaving my comfort to the unknown. Climbing in my truck I start my drive to the center of packs. At the border of our pack are the dorms for the duel nature students. I would have been staying there and close to home but I requested being room in the magical being dorm. They are on the other side of the center lands. The school has only been open for a few years now. Most races still are not ready to live together. The races don’t trust other races so until that is resolved they opted to have separate dorms on opposite sides of the land. Added thirty minutes to my drive but it's worth it.
Making it to the border I wave to the warriors they all wave back linking me good luck and we will miss you. This pack has changed in the last four years. When I was little I had many plans to run away as soon as I could. When my mother had Jordan I couldn’t leave him. Mother had not wanted him. So my new plan was to wait for him to be old enough to run away with me. I didn’t want him to fall in line with the other men of the pack. But now I would be proud if he did fall in line with the men now. He will be the royal betas mate so I think it's a good sign he will be a good man. Hitting the open road I crank up the radio. Singing along with all the songs not one word right. “STOP!” fills my head making me slam on the breaks. My heart beating so hard it hurts. Slamming my truck into park. Jumping out to look for the source of the scream. There is nothing behind me, nothing in front. Walking to the passenger side I see a small glowing spot on the side of the road. Getting closer it's small for lack of better words a dragon. But tiny. The glow around it dimmed then brighten again. Looking closer its breathing is labored. Scooping it up carefully feeling a light burn on my hands. Getting back to my truck I search around for some water. Looking it over I can't find injuries.
Helping it to drink some water I see that its breathing is getting better. All of a sudden it bites down on my finger. Before I could yelp or toss it off the voice fills my head again. “master I am Allister. I am your familiar” staring down at the little thing I am at a loss for words. Watching as the bite heals and a burn works its way down my finger and hand around my wrist. I notice swirls and twirls with dots appear matching the membrane of his wings. His teal color mimics the design. “it's the familiar bond mark.” “okay wait your can talk and what are you? What do you mean familiar?” turned his head looking at me like I lost my mind. “what fairy doesn't know about their familiar?” I had watched him and his mouth didn’t move. “can others hear you or am I just crazy?” “I am your familiar only you can hear me. What kind of fairy are you?” now we are both staring at each other. A horn blares behind me.
