Chapter 38
Looked around at everyone confused. “oh stop that all of you. Dear little one a yearling is what we call our young just starting to have magic. They need the training to control their gifts. As I am sure you have been doing since you hit your 13th summer.” a tall thin deep earth-colored woman walks in behind the king. My jaw-dropping at the beauty radiating off her. Everything about this woman screams sex. “forgive Yinny and Row they don’t always think before they speak. I am Sura. I came to bring you some things to wear Sy would have brought them herself but she has to soak a bit longer in her pool.” tilting my head about to ask what happened when Rhett's hand lands on my shoulder giving a slight squeeze. Telling me all I needed to know. Dropping my head.
Sura walked over and hands me a light flowy looking pile of folded sear cloth that looks similar to the king's clothing. “here little one why don’t I help you dress. The rest of you go I will show her the way to your office, my love. Yin goes help Sy and sends tea to the office please.” she tells them giving both the king and Yinny loving looks. They both smile at her with puppy love sick stares. When Rhett didn’t make a move she looked at him her eyes glowing a bright green “young lord I do believe your father and mothers would like to be notified of the future leader of the clans don’t you?” I can feel Rhett stepping away as his hand slides down my arm. Turning me to him he places his hands on my cheeks looking me deep in my eyes “little wolf I will be back in a few days' time stay here with the king and his wives. If you need me the king knows how to get me back here fast. I will send my sister to watch over you.” I nod not fully understanding what is going on. Kissing my forehead before he heads to the french doors on the far wall. Throwing open the door walked out to the edge of the balcony turning to wink at me before he jumps off the ledge. Gasping rushing to the doors.
A huge black dragon appears in front of me his large golden green eyes shining in the sunlight. His huge massive wings stretchered tight the light barely breaking through the membrane. The designs of his veins going through his wings dawn your attention on his strong shoulders and long body down to his powerful tail. My hand reaches out wanting to touch him needing to feel his scales under my hand. Seeming to understand he lowers his head to me pushing his muzzle into the palm of my hand. Warm and cool at the same time. Sparks spring to life a small moan escapes my throat. Rhett closed his eyes making a purring sound. After a few moments a throat clearing from behind sounds. Opening his eyes Rhett nods and pushes away from the balcony. With a swift flap of his wings, his scent washes over me in the wind as he lifts up in the air. Turning his shoots off into heading north.
“come little one your dragon will be back soon. We have a lot to do before his return.” sura says as she starts towards me. “let me help wrap you in fairy silk. Why you are in human clothes is beyond me.” shock shoots through me at her words. Looking over at the king he just shrugs “little one I will leave you with my wives to dress. I will gather the masters of all the elements to help in training. My loves if you need me I will be with Sy in her pool.” the king smiles at us before turning and leaving.
Following sura, she helps me take the dress off and artfully wrapped what she called fairy silks around me. Soft feathers kiss my skin as the silks slide over it. The long white see though fabric soon turns colors a bright fire starts on the floor moving up into a swirl of silver and emerald green. Black swirls etching snowflakes merging with fire all over. A soft pattern all over the fabric. I can feel the wind on my back. Looking over my shoulder I see the back is open. Leaving my whole back on display. Looking over at sura she's staring at the dress in awe. When I feel tiny fingers on my back. “do they work?” yinny’s small voice travels to my ear. “not as yours do but.” calling magic to me pushing it to my back letting my wings spring from my back. Fluttering them as they unfold and fill the space behind me. Both women gasped at my wings.
“Why do you hide them. You are weakening them. They are, I have never seen wings like this.” sura asks dropping my head my wings now turning a somber gray color. They droop. With a shrug, they start to fold back in me. The swirls and twirls spread over my back again. “I don’t have the energy to keep them out this is their resting form. I don’t use them often. And I am the only fairy/wolf hybrid in the packs what do you think would happen if they knew I had wings. Sharon and Kalaban don’t have wings they are the only other fae I know in the pack, and they don’t have wings.” “what do you mean they are the only fae you know? What kind of fae are they?” Yinny asks.
“well, Sharon is a witch hybrid made to mate with an evil wolf. A witch forced Kalaban a fae that was kidnapped and held prisoner for years to sire a child with her. she didn’t know who her sire was or that she was a fae for a long time. Sharon got away and then Kalaban was rescued. He's been one of my magic coaches. Neither one of them have wings so when I got mine I kept quiet about them for a long time.”
Alarms sound through the building. The floor shaking. A small woman burst through the door “m’lady Yinny I am so sorry Kalaban knocked me out again and now I can't find him. His wrist cuff was found by his bathing pool.”
