Chapter 22.

Chapter 22.
Estella’s POV.

I wake up early the next morning and I feel good, no nausea or gloomy lingering aura. I take a deep breath and my magic pulses through my veins making my body tingle as I feel Collin wake up.

“What are you doing?” He asks snapping me from my concentration.
“What?” I ask looking at him.
“Your body’s hot, I just felt your arms get a lot warmer.” He states looking at my skin.
“Sorry I was trying to concentrate on my magic.” I say giggling as we both get up.

“Ok we leave after lunch so let’s go spend some time with your grandparents before we go back to the pack.” Collin says pulling on a black t-shirt which outlines his muscles. I pull on a red fitted dress that comes half way down my thighs and it follows my curves perfectly, I brush my hair leaving it down as it flows around me.

I haven’t felt this good in weeks, I haven’t worn anything except yoga pants or even wanted to have sex in the last few weeks, my powers were hurting the baby and now that they aren’t being blocked anymore they are protecting the baby. It’s amazing to see how much my magic has been making me thrive in such a short time.

We finish getting ready as there is a knock on the door and Collin goes to answer it. I start putting my makeup on and I hear the voice outside.
“Queen Loral is expecting you both in the dining hall for breakfast.” A light voice says.
“We will be down in 5 minutes” Collin answers while I fidget with my necklace.

We open the door as a little gnome bows to us, god these little guys are cute.
“The Queen sent me to escort you.” He says as we both begin to follow him.
We get in to the dinning hall and the table is already a full variety of fruits and baked goods, bacon, eggs and so much more. My mouth waters just looking at everything, god I missed having an appetite.

“Good morning dear.” Loral says as we both sit.
“How was your sleep?” She asks softly.
“Good.” Collin and I reply both at the same time.
“Hey, you mentioned werefae? Yesterday, can I ask what exactly they are? What are the powers of a child born to a fairy and werewolf?” I ask her curiously.

“Well.” She starts.
“Both species are able to shift, fairies can change from young children, wolves don’t change until puberty. From what I’ve heard werefae can change in to their wolves around the same time fairy children are able to shift, they are also able to use their magic in wolf form as well as human form, we have noticed werefae don’t shift in to glimmers like a fairy does, they only shift in to their wolves or so I’ve read.” She says while Collin and I listen attentively as we eat.

“You will learn to shift in to your glimmer but not until the baby’s born it’s not safe, after the birth Clover will teach you to shift.” She says as my eyes light up. I didn’t even realize I could shift I don’t know why I didn’t think of it, it all starts to hit me. I am a fairy, my whole life I felt trapped in this body that didn’t feel right and I thought it was just because I didn’t have my parents. It turns out I was just missing my magic, my perfect light amazing magic, and this baby will share that magic.

I will teach my little bean everything she will need to know about herself unlike my parents I won’t hide who she is. I feel like it’s a girl, I hope it’s a girl and I can’t wait to meet her.
“Thank you for helping us understand more.” Collin says sweetly.
“it really does help.”

“You’re welcome Alpha, and I really hope we can continue being apart of your lives, we’ve already missed so much.” Loral says grabbing my hand.
“Of coarse.” Collin responds happily making us both smile.
“Do you have any idea why Estella’s mother would have blocked her magic? Why was she so scared for Estella to have powers.” Collin asks as we all go silent.

She thinks a moment before answering.
“I’m honestly not sure, I assumed it was so we weren’t able to find her but since I took the block away I can feel Estelle’s magic, and it thrives.” She says turning to me.
“You are very powerful dear and I can feel it so I’m sure others can too which could be why your mother wanted to protect you, people feel threatened by power. hopefully with training you can reach your full potential with your magic, I can’t wait to see what you accomplish.” She states with a smile.

“Now we have some stuff to send you home with, Clover has packed her belongings in to the car and the gnomes are packing your stuff. I’m going to give you a box of magical items we use regularly that Clover can teach you to use.” She says taking my hand pulling me in to another room, leaving Collin with my grandfather.

She grabs an old wooden chest and fills it with crystals and powders, she puts in 2 wand looking items and a few bottles of mix’s, god what is all this stuff, she adds a hand full of funny looking coins, and some flowers.
“There’s something about your power” she says hovering her hands over my shoulders.
“I’m unsure of what it is yet but it feels weird, you will be a vary strong fairy. I’m excited to see how your training goes.” She says pulling me in to a big hug.

“Having that much power is dangerous dear, anyone who can sense your magic will want to find a way to use you for it. Your father is a pixie, maybe that has something to do with you being so strong?” She questions while pulling me in to a big hug and I feel the love flow from her in to me and my heart races at the unfamiliar feeling.

“I’m really happy to have met you.” She says smiling at me brightly. “I’ve missed your mother, I’m very sorry I’ve missed so much of your life. This baby is a blessing make sure you cherish her.” She says winking at me as my stomach flutters.

Her. I knew it was a girl, my little bean is a girl.

Our drive back home feels so much quicker, home. I like the way it sounds. I watch out the window as Collin drives, everything seems so much brighter. The trees and flowers almost have a glow to them, the colours are so much more rich and I can feel my magic flow effortlessly through my veins. I truly can’t understand why my mother would have binded my powers.

Clover sleeps in the back seat for most of the drive, she’s so small maybe 5 foot and looks younger then me. I can’t wait to start learning from her. I really enjoyed getting to know my grandparents and I really hope we can visit the more in the future. I’d like to be able to find my other sister as well.

We finally get back to the pack and Steele comes running outside, Collin grabs the bags from the car as I open Clovers door waking her up.
“Hey Luna! Everything’s been good here, how was your trip.” She looks over to Clover who’s just rubbing her eyes closing the car door behind her.
“It was really good, Steele this is Clover. She’s a fairy from Clove County and she’ll be staying with us for a while.” I say introducing the two.
