Chapter 18
Ashley pov
Letting my anger go, I dropped my aura. Slipping back into the sphere I created inside me to hide my magic. Stepping back I smile “if we respect each other's things and space we will get along.” shrugging my shoulder before scooping up my bags to take the tags off so I can wash them. The smells of the mall still cling to the fabric making my stomach turn. Janet stayed standing staring at me. Watching me go about my day. “look we have to share this room for the next year let's not spend it fighting okay?” I say with my back to her. This tells her two things I am giving her time to gather herself and I am not afraid of her. Not that there are many I am afraid of. Want to know who that group holds? That would be the queen and kings along with the queen's guardians. Then there is the mate of the guardian, then it's all three betas of the royals. Anyone under that nope.
Sharon is the only one I have a healthy dose of fear is half-witch and half pixie. I know what you thinking but ash you’re a wolf fairy wouldn't that make you stronger? My friend I am only part fairy so it would make us even if it was not for the fact her father is the next in line for the royal seelie court. This makes her a potential royal heir once her father takes the throne. So her magic and reflecting that then add witch blood so she pretty bad ass. After five minutes she still hadn't moved or said a word so I left taking my clothes to the laundry to wash.
Passing a door I hear chad talking to someone “ya that bitch assley she's got it bad for me. I keep telling her I’m gay babe so there's nothing to worry about.” my chest clenching, at his words, I rush down the hall. Making it to the basement before the burn of him being with someone else. The pain is so strong I can't keep the lock on my magic and a summer storm comes out of nowhere. Winds take trees and anything else in their path.
Screaming out silently not wanting to alert anyone. A loud scream is all I hear looking over I see Janet with eyes wide open in fear. What she sees cant be pretty from the look she has. A pop echos around me as a pair of soft arms of Sharon wrap around me. Being fae she can feel when I pull on the wild magic on this side of the vail. Well, not every time just huge pulls. A lot of times a fae will pull on large amounts of magic when in danger. This will send a vibration through the magic tapping all fae born. How close you are to the one screaming as Kalaban called it will give the fae a location of the fae in need. Then if you add a personal connection to the fae in need they get a strong pull to you. Wrapping her arms around me making the soothing hmmm’s. pulling me as close as she can with a big round belly. In a second we are in the field where we practice. The pain drains out of me as the scent of wildflowers and wet earth wash over me.
“Sharon you shouldn't have teleported to me, The pups?” I panic a small giggle lives her lips. “I didn’t my dear little one. I am home sitting on the couch. Is a soul walk. I'm here but not here now tell me child what has caused this pain?” tears fill my eyes again I spill everything to her as she strokes my hair. The thing about Sharon is she went through a lot but you would never guess she should just heal you. She can also keep a secret. When I am down with my tale she lets me cry it out. Once I feel myself again locking the feeling and magic back in my sphere. “I will have Bronwyn mix an elixir for you to take at the peek of the next black moon rise.” kissing my forehead a sense of relief washes over me. “let this help you through the until then but it's not 100 percent don’t let him touch you.” I nod. There is no need to explain why. If someone who works in magic says don’t do something then don’t do something.
Sitting up she hugs me tightly whispering “everything will be okay.” before she leaves me. I almost panic that she left me in the field when my vision clears and I'm still on the floor in the laundry room. Janet still staring at me in horror. “what? What?” she just repeats over and over. Hanging my head shaking it “I don’t know it's been happening a lot I promise I'm not dangerous and normally I don’t have problems with control. It still slips and that's why I asked to be in this building. Some young witch still has control issues so there are wards for that.” she just stares so I let her process everything and slowly get off the floor. I still have to wash my clothes and a long hot shower is needed.
Stuffing my clothes in the washer pulling out our special scent stripping laundry soap to add to the washer. I hear her leave and I just drop my head. The pain I had felt was unreal. For a split second, I thought how would he feel if I did that to him? But why drop to his level. Watching my clothes spin around in the suds I decide. If he still rejects me on the day I graduate from here then I will accept it and pray for a second chance. The story my father told me of his first mate I now understand fully. Taking my phone from my pocket I send him a quick I love and miss you all text. He replies not a second later making me chuckle he had my contact open waiting not patiently for my text. We make plans for me to call next Saturday around supper time. Give us all a week to settle in with the distance and Jordan will be home from the shadow pack.
