Hidden jewel

Chapter 9

Once Mimi and Papa were done resting Donovan and I showed them and my cousins around the pack lands. Papa was very impressed how much the pack lands have changed and grown. They were also very happy to hear that I was amongst the best worriers we had which made me very proud of myself. 

Papa said that another tiger was joining us later that would be staying with us to train me and for my protection which I told him I didn't need but he insisted, I didn't want to argue with him so I agreed. I have a feeling even if I didn't agree I didn't have much of a choice. 

I notice Donovan was bragging about me to my Mimi and Papa which I didn't mind but it was still strange. He also keeps glancing at me every time he thinks I'm not looking. Donovan is hot like your dream guy makes your panties wet hot guy but he's also a lady's man, and he's always dating some she-wolf. I do find him attractive but I don't like players I never have I never will. I want a guy that will always be honest with me even if it hurt and loyalty means a lot to be to. I get some guys mess around till they find the one, their mate, which is wrong but hey it's their life so it's their choice what to do with it. 

I hit it off with my cosines they are both cool and down to earth and playful. I feel extremely comfortable with them and easily joke around. My family is amazing. It's lunchtime by the time we get back to the packhouse. We all enjoy our lunch and once we are down we all go outside and sit under a tree. Papa and Mimi are sitting on the bench well we all sit on the grass. 

"Papa, can I ask you a question?" I turn to papa and ask "we'll not just a question but a few questions?" I smile at him. Papa nods his head and replies " of course you can my dear I'm sure you have many questions and I'm happy to answer them." He smiling back at me. I love having them here and it hasn't even been a full day yet. "Do tigers have a soul mate as wolves do?" I ask with hope in my eyes. I've always wanted a mate. 

Papa looks at Mimi with so much love in his eyes nodding his head when he looks back at me and says yes " yes my dear we are lucky enough to be blessed with a soul mate just like the wolves, it's the biggest blessing that the moon Goddess has given her children!"

I'm so happy to hear this it's amazing ill also have a soul mate I can not believe it.  With the biggest smile, I've had I carry on asking my questions.

"So Papa does it hurt when we first shift and are we the same color as normal tigers and size?"

"Unfortunately, it does hurt the first time we shift and a few times after that too but once you get the hang of it, it doesn't hurt anymore. We are bigger than normal tigers but we are the same color the Royals are usually white thou." My cousin Noah answers this time. 

I look at him with wide eyes white tigers are so beautiful."Are you all white tigers?!" I ask with my wide eyes.Mimi answers me this time with a chuckle"well my dear girl only royal alpha tigers are white like Papa and your uncle as well as your dad. Noah is also white but Eva And myself as well as your auntie and mom are all your normal colored tiger. A female would rarely be a white tiger but it's not unheard of. Our elders consider a white female tighter as our jewel and she is to be protected as such." This is all so interesting to me and I can see Kim, Ben, and Donovan are all very interesting in all of this as well. 

I ask the one question I really want to know but also don't it hurt but I have to know more about my parents I need to know. "Mimi, what were my parents like? We're they mates as well? Did they love me?" I have tears in my eyes as I ask these 3 questions that have been playing on my mind. Mimi opens up her arms and telling me to go to her. She embraces me with a big hug and starts telling me all I want to know. "My dear child they loved you more than life itself. I remember the day you were born your father was so nervous and excited at the same time but once he held you he started crying happy tears all he could say was look at this beautiful little girl and I'm her father. Your mother was just as happy to have you she always wanted a daughter and there you were the most precious thing they could very have and share. You were all they could ever want and more my child. I see a lot of them in you and they were a lot like you. I know they would be so proud of you today!"

I'm crying ugly tears now I wish I had a chance to know them to really know them and be with them, life is so unfair but I at least had my grandparents and cousins with me. Mimi just holds me till I settled down rocking me side to side. She feels like home it's something I haven't felt this stong before. When I'm ready she lets go but before I could step away Papa gives me a big hugs " we live you my dear just remember that!" He whispers in my ear.
