Chapter 80
Once I could think again I look at Rhett like he has lost his mind. I know that I have two mates and I can only have a pup once marked by both. That is I knew that my shock just had not caught up to my brain for a brief moment. Shaking my head I shrug it off to alpha male ego. “well we will worry about that if and when it's a problem.” I huff out, done talking about this shit with him. Having gotten the hint he shut his mouth.
Making it to the alpha's office several wolves are standing in front of several elementals. These look like humans and smell like humans only their hair and eyes are the color of their element. So fire has red eyes and hair earth a mix of brown and green. Air was the most breathtaking and the hardest to hide. His hair was every shade of the rainbow and no color at the same time. His eyes seem to shift color as the sunlight hits them. The she-wolf standing in front of him with a look of pure protectiveness and worry only a mate could hold. They all would have felt the shift of power from alpha Adam and back. Not knowing who the alpha fought and lost or beat and gained again the alphaship they don’t know but what they can see is the alpha walking beside me, not in front of me. Meaning the alpha sees me as an equal to him. Something she-wolves won't really have for a long time. Well unless you are in this pack. Seems the alpha may have turned over a new leaf. Why do I think this? Well as we walk to the office I watched him and he scanned over and looked at every pack member we passed. His eyes seemed to watch and not watch at the same time. I had always wondered if that was a skill the king had but no I think it was something in his family line a gift to see the worth of a wolf in an instant. The king does his best to make sure each and every wolf in the shadow pack is living up o their potential. That each and everyone is happy and healthy.
Not having the time to waste I jump right into what I need. “look I know you don’t know me and are weary I get it to trust me I do. But I need help. The fairy grove barrier has been sealed so my magic is weaker I am sure you might not have felt the shift in wild magic but trust me on this. So I need help to create and perform a few spells. First I need to freeze the lake locking it in time until I can unseal it at the right time again. Second I need a spell that is blood to blood but timed to send a message at a specific time. And last I need to create a spell to send myself and my mate to the time I am supposed to be in.” looking at them all with hope. The small air elemental steps forward. “I don’t pretend to speak for the others but why would we do any of this for you “ sniffing the air a few times “ well I don’t know what you are fairy wolf both never seen before don’t care.” waving his hand around as I open my mouth “what my point is you say the magic is depleting so why would we risk our magic to save someone we don’t know or care about?” cocking my head at him. I know he has a point but this level of disrespect and stand aloofness is not something I am used to anymore.
Once upon a time when the packs lived under the gray storm clouds of the past alphas were how they were only caring about themselves and what was best for them and their pack. But that's not the future I want to return to. No the future I want to return to is the one where I have two amazing fathers and a huge family I can live without. I want to watch my brother and nova grow up and into the royal queens beta pair. The pups they will have. I even want to watch the triplets grow up and become the delta and beta of the royal pack. And for an added bonus either a beta or delta of the guard pack once they are all old enough to split the pack back up. The royal Mani pack and the shadow guard pack. Blake stone will take over as queen for her mother and nova and Jordan will be Blake's beta pair. Then there are the king's betas and the delta. Jackson Mani will take over as the shadow pack alpha. One of the royal beta heirs will follow him while the other stays as his sister. All in all, when it's all said and done there are two kings one queen three betas a gamma, and a delta of the royal pack to figure out and split when the twins take over the packs. But that's years and years from now. As they are only five.
After what felt like forever a bigger female with green and brown eyes and hair stepped forward. “I know a coven that deals in blood magic it might be the only thing strong enough for the spells you need. But for some of that, you will need all the help you can. If what you said about the grove is true and we can't ask some fae to help with then we will need a lot of witches so we need to send out messengers to the local covens asking for help. Sadly they won't work for free what do you have for trade.” without a thought, I looked this earth elemental in the eye and told her “tell them I will give them one 2-gram bottle of my blood. They can test it to see the power my blood holds and how much it will power their spells.” ripping the hem of the dress and slicing my palm. Wiping the blood up with the cloth. Then I shove it out the women.
With a nod, she takes it and leaves.
