Chapter 20

I raise my head up and partially sit up. Everything in me is telling me to obey. I am determined to be the Alpha person in this story.
Suddenly, as if a switch is flicked on inside of me, I feel a powerful presence starting to surface, telling me to make him bow down. I buck my hips harder and throw my hips, trying to knock him off. His face turns to shock as I growl at him. I feel my hands tingling like a fire is being awaken inside of me. I start trying to block it out, suddenly that dark and alluring man is in my mind
“Don’t you dare, hold back! Let it flow, be who you were born to be!” He says with force, and I cannot hold back my scream as succumb to the power.
It feels like after so many years of forcing it down, it is crashing over me with a vengeance. Like a destructive tidal wave intent on consuming me with everything it has. I feel my body start to heat up like flames licking across my skin. I throw my head back and arch myself like I am having a painful orgasm. I can see my legs vibrating. I close my eyes and I see the image of beautiful black horse with amazing wings. The same man is petting her lovingly. He turns towards me, releasing her from his hold and whispers to me “come home Talia” he says just as the horse runs towards me, it suddenly turns into like a ball of magical energy and hits my chest.
Shaemus finishes his sexual pleasure on me abruptly. His face tells me he sensed the changes happening to me. I bite back a scream, I grab my hair, and thrash as I am trying to contain the sense of magic flowing through me. I do not know what is happening to me but, I feel like I am being reborn.
I hear Shaemus calling for his ‘pack doctor’ I cannot concentrate on anything, but the urge to let everything flow clear and pure. I see the man still in my mind and I am screaming while trying to reach for him, hoping he will be able to help me through this. Mentally he grasps me and is stroking my face while instructing me what to do. Oddly, I wish he was real, I wish he were here for real to help me through this.
Shaemus is by my side with the doctor
“Doctor Willows, what can we do?”
“Alpha, what is she? She’s not a wolf? What do you have for a mate?”
“I think the girl I talked to said she is ‘Pegra?’” Not sure what that is?”
The mans eyes go wide, I am listening myself trying to understand about it, also I need to ask, ‘what the fuck is a mate?’ What are they talking about by saying wolf and pack?” I try to focus on this and their conversation to ignore the all-consuming powerful feeling of fire, pain, and magic flowing through me.
“A Pegasus shifter! They are extremely rare, they once lived thousands of years ago in the land of Greece, then one night their kingdom challenged the gods. Angry, the gods destroyed them all because of their defiance, no one knows why”
“I know the story her best friend told me; however, I will not share it now. What can we do?”
“Alpha, I do not have the information on their anatomy, if there are any others, they would know best”
“My father, and uncle Fredrick!” I grit out “Call them!” I tell them as I fall down on the bed in exhaustion. I hear Shaemus calling my family in Germany where he picked me up. I feel my body start to heat up hotter, and I am praying that my skin does not melt away.
How is this happening? I have done my best to block it out, so I am not a freak! I will not lie, I will admit, I have had this feeling for years that I was more than human. I thought if I blocked it out, everything would go away, and I would be just a normal everyday person. All I want to be is normal, Velaria Connors. I realize now, how much a fool I have been. This power has always been trying to break through, and now for the first time ever. It’s refusing to listen to me, it’s shattering the walls I built, and showing the force of its nature.
I feel my body contorting in unnatural ways. I feel something hot and heavy growing on my back. I scream in fear and pain as it feels like extra bone forming in the middle of my spine. I open my eyes and see a transparent cocoon begin to form around me. It is deep red like blood. I feel energy lifting me off the ground.
I look and the doctor is staring at me in a state of panic and shock. Like he is frozen and cannot look away. I, however become concerned at the look in his eye. As if he had just won the lottery or found a prized possession that could be worth millions. I have made up my mind, no matter how nice Shaemus is, I cannot stay here. That doctor looks at me like I am his ticket to wealth.
I throw my head back after formulating this decision, I scream as I see a ball of red fire engulf me inside the cocoon. I see the mysterious man's eyes of blue flame, looking at me in awe and beauty. Everything in me wants to run to him.
The fire consumes me, I feel myself shape-shifting in a manner like I am dancing angelically. After everything is done, I look through new eyes to see my real father and uncle Fredrick standing in the living room staring at me in wonder. My real father approaches me. I am skittish and try to back away but, he steps toward me in a way that makes my new form feel comfortable and safe. He strokes my head and whispers words into my heart about how happy is to finally find me. How sorry he is, how much he truly loves me, and he’ll help me come home.
I start to panic at his words about coming home. I think about my entire life that I have developed for myself with my company. So many employees depend on me. I do not want to turn away from them when they need me. As I panic, I lose control, my wings flap, and throw a sword into the wall. As I scream in my new form a fireball is thrown from my mouth, into a different part of the room and everyone ducks. I feel myself becoming exhausted. A fire envelopes me and I find myself shifting back. I go to walk towards them when I suddenly collapse into Sheamus’s arms and I lose consciousness, as I fall asleep.
