The phoenix wolf will rise

The Prophecy

When I wake up I am on my own in the bed, hugging the pillow close to my body. I can smell his scent radiating through the room and on his pillow. I sigh in contentment and then roll onto my back and groan. The door opens and Derek walks in with a tray filled with food and my stomach growls from the smell “Good morning, mate” he says and smirks at me. “morning” I say and blush which only makes him chuckle. He sets the tray down on the nightstand and pulls his sweatpants down, leaving him in his boxers. He slides underneath the covers stealing the pillow back from me and placing it behind his back. I whine and crawl onto him, he chuckles “Come one babe. Eat” he says and grabs the tray with his arm around my shoulder. We eat in silence on the bed, when we’re finished he lifts me and carries me into the bathroom “You drew me a bath?” I ask him while he lowers me in the water and I groan from how good it feels. “I did,” he says and smiles. He lowers his boxers and lowers himself into it behind me. “You’re not going to be properly mobile if you don’t relax your muscles,” he says chuckling “so true,” I say and lean into him. He wraps his arms around me and nuzzles my neck “all mine” he whispers “All yours,” I answer him. “I’m all yours as well,” he says and I nod “Good” I answer. “Just so you know, you’re not leaving my bed anymore. You’re going to be there every night next to me” he says and nuzzles my neck. I chuckle “Really, if you want me to officially move in, you should just say so,” I say to him. He chuckles “I keep forgetting that you’re not used to this. The moment two wolves mate they will never be apart so yeah, they move in together officially,” he says and I chuckle “Well because you asked so nicely,” I say to him. He chuckles “Your parents’ already scolded me to take care of you. And they were surprised we hadn’t mated yet,” he says and I chuckle “they aren’t the only ones apparently,” I say and he nods on my shoulder. When the water cools we dry off and get dressed, I stay behind in the bathroom to blow-dry my hair while he is rummaging in the room. I grab the dryer and remove the towel, I turn to the mirror to brush it but my brush falls from my hand and clatters to the ground. Derek barges in “You okay?” he asks. I look him straight in his eyes and his eyes widen “Your eyes changed” he says and I nod “They’re red” I say and he nods “Get Arun” I tell him and he nods and rushes out of the room. I lean closer to the mirror, they are perfectly red. “She’s in the bathroom” I hear Derek say and Arun and him walk in not long after “What is it?” Arun asks and I look him straight in his eyes. His eyes widen “Oh f**k” he says and I nod “What is going on?” Derek asks. “What happened.?” Arun asks. and I shrug and then realize “I mated,” I tell him and he growls at Derek lowly. “Ah shush, you were surprised that we hadn’t mated when we found each other. You knew it would happen” I say and swat him on the head “What does this mean?” I ask Arun. He rubs his head “Well, uhh. I will explain, later. I need to find something first” he grunts and rushes out of the room. I look at Derek who shrugs his shoulders and then wraps his arms around me “What is the big deal with the eyes?” he asks. “Well, you were still sleeping then, but my brother explained that the redder our eyes, the more powerful we are. I was already in more danger because my eyes were Orange, Red is number one, then orange, gold, yellow, brown, green is the order. There hadn’t been any red-eyed phoenixes since the first ones according to my brother” I explain to him and his eyes widen. “Yeah,” I say and grab my brush and start brushing my hair. I grab the blow dryer and start drying my hair. Derek and I lounge on the couch in his room and after half an hour Arun storms back into the room. “Found it,” he says and hands me some papers.

The papers are ancient and crumbling at the edges. There is a drawing from a person with a red glow around them. ‘the phoenixes are almost hunted to extinction. When the time is there a new red-eyed phoenix will rise. Certain circumstances will make this phoenix explode in power. Everyone with the purest of hearts, who does not desire power but only love, peace, and friendship will be turned by this phoenix. She will rise the phoenix wolves within them. These phoenix wolves will be the subjects, family, friends of the phoenix wolf since this phoenix wolf will be the alpha of alphas. He or she will return the glory of the phoenix wolves. The phoenix wolves will rise by her leadership.’ Is written below it. My eyes widen “no way. This can’t be about me, can it?” I ask looking at Derek and Arun. They keep silent telling me enough. “all right, assuming this is about me. Certain circumstances will make me explode?” I ask. “It will probably be something that makes you angry and protective which causes your power to spill out” Arun explains. “I need to learn to use this power,” I tell him and he nods. “I don’t know much but I have an idea of the basics. We can train together and see where we will get” Arun says and I nod “Great, we’ll start in an hour,” he says and smiles. “Okay,” I say and he walks out. I put the papers on the side table and sigh. “do you think this is about me?” I ask while looking at Derek. “Well, the coincidence is hard to deny. You are pretty much extinct. You and your brother are the last phoenix wolves alive. You are a red-eyed phoenix, one of the last so…” he says and I grumble “you’re right” I tell him and then crawl into his side. “Alpha of alphas huh, so I’ll be your alpha,” I say and chuckle. An hour later I make my way outside following Arun, he leads us to a clearing in the woods. I can feel Chad hovering in the background. “You can show yourself you know,” I say out loud and Arun laughs. Chad comes forward with a smile “Maybe you have some input as well” I tell him. “all right, what I have so far is that the magic happens based on our emotions. Like what you did with me, you did not want me to die so I did not die. I uhh well this is awkward but when I turned 18 and had my first turn. One of the coven witches came on to me, trying to you know r**e me. I fought her of course and there was a moment where I thought I wish I was a f*****g female so they would leave me alone and well my manhood disappeared, making them unable to r**e me. Took me a week to get it back” he says and blushes hard. “My God,” Chad says and I see him shiver. I laugh hard “Good for you,” I say and smile “Yeah, eventually I learned how to do it on a whim.” He tells me and I chuckle. “If you weren’t my brother I would tell you to show me,” I say and laugh hard. He chuckles “yeah, well so my guess is it starts with emotions and wanting it bad enough, and with a bit of practice you can just do it with a simple thought,” he tells me and I nod. “Uh, that’s why. Don’t hate me” he says and looks at me with a look I can’t decipher. Derek steps out of the clearing and my brother speeds to him and stabs a knife in his leg. He pulls it out and Derek falls to the ground “Bastard” Derek grunts. I run over to Derek “ASSHOLE” I yell at Arun “Focus, do what you did with me” he says. I growl at him and put my hand on the wound in his leg which is bleeding a lot “I hit his artery. You have five minutes give or take to save his life” Arun says and smiles at me. I put a lot of pressure on his leg and focus on ‘heal him, heal him, don’t let him die I think hard. I hear Acalia growl and howl in my head. ‘FOCUS, HELP ME’ I yell at her and she grows quiet and I hear her chant the same in my head “That’s it” Arun says and I open my eyes to see my hands glowing red. The blood crawls back into his leg and I shiver because it’s still creeping me out. After a few seconds, the wound is healed and Derek lunges at Arun. “You called me over to help her! HOW IS THIS HELPING” he yells at my brother while pushing him to the ground by his neck. I don’t stop him “She healed you didn’t she? Don’t be a p***y” Arun hisses at him. Derek grunts and lets him go wrapping me up in his arms. I clutch his shirt tightly, he leans back grabs my chin, and crashes his lips on mine, I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. He groans and breaks the kiss “I’m okay” he whispers and I nod. He lets me go and I glare at my brother who just shrugs “I knew you could do it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have done it sis” he says with a sad smile. I sigh “Do not do that again!” I yell at him and he nods “You know now what to feel and direct it. I shouldn’t have to take drastic matters anymore” he says and smiles. I sigh and shake my head, “We get very tired after using the magic, with my petty trick. The more I used it the more accustomed I got to using the magic. So the more often you use it the less tired you will become” he explains and I nod feeling tired already. He sits down and pats the spot in front of him. I sit down, Derek and Chad start whispering from a distance with each other. “okay, I will cut myself, nothing serious. You are going to heal it” he says and I nod. He drags the knife through his palm and holds his hand open. I grab his hand and focus ‘heal’ I keep chanting in my head. I open my eyes to see the red glow, and the blood being sucked into his wound again “I will never get used to that” I say and shiver, Arun chuckles. “All right, CHAD” he yells and Chad walks over holding out his hand. Arun holds his knife out and chad grabs the blade and pulls back cutting himself. Chad holds his hand out to me and I repeat what I did. I can already feel that I have to concentrate less than before. “All right, it is getting easier already,” I say and Arun smiles proudly at me “Okay, we are going to try something new,” he says and then looks at Derek “YOU, do not come here,” he says and glares. He nods slowly but I can see the doubt on his face. Arun looks back at me and holds out the knife, blade pointed out to me “Heal yourself” he says and smiles. I hold my head at an angle, I grab the knife and pull my hand back, cutting my hand. I look at the wound and imagine it closing slowly and my hands start to glow red and it closes slowly “cool” I say and chuckle. Everyone chuckles and Derek comes over growling lowly. I get up and show him my hand “all good” I say and smile at him. He huffs and puffs enclosing me in his arms, nuzzling my neck, and breathing my scent in. he lets me go and Chad stands beside him again. “I have an idea” chad pipes up. Arun looks at him “and that is?” he asks. “if it is like imagining stuff, you should be able to do pretty much anything right?” he asks. Arun nods “yeah?” he answers. “Imagine the cuts on our hands to return,” Chad says and shrugs. “Not bad, could come in handy” Arun says and nods. I close my eyes and see the image “s**t” I hear Arun curse and I open my eyes, his hand is bleeding again and I smile. I grab his hand and heal it again “this is not so hard..” I tell him and he frowns “It’s not?” Arun asks and I shake my head. “try putting the cut on Derek’s hand” Arun says. I look at Derek and see the image before me, I imagine Arun slicing his hand, and slowly a cut appears on Derek’s hand, his eyebrows raise in surprise and I chuckle “told you” I say and get up. I grab his hand and heal it. “think about a completely new wound” Arun suggests. “like?” I ask. “Don’t know burn marks or something?” he asks. I imagine Arun’s arm covered in burns but nothing happens “hmm” I say and then I think about what I did with the others. “ah.. maybe?” I say talking to myself. I imagine Arun in a kitchen and knocking over a hot cup of coffee over his arm, and I was right. Burn marks start to appear on his arms “All right. Now I know how it works better” I say and nod. “Care to enlighten your brother?” he says and chuckles. I chuckle and sit down again, healing the burns first “Imagine it happening” I tell him and he frowns. “Like I just thought about you having burn marks and nothing happened. Then I thought about you knocking over a hot cup of coffee over your arm and the burn marks appeared” I explain and he nods. He takes a deep breath and I see him think. Suddenly I am wearing a summer dress “What the f**k” I say laughing out loud Arun opens his eyes and fists his hand in the air in victory “Like that it’s not too difficult indeed” he says and smiles at me. We continue coming up with silly stuff like that and we’re all laughing. Even putting Derek in a dress at one point at which he growled and ripped it off of himself making us laugh even more since Arun conjured a male tong on him which he ripped off again making me drool and Derek pouncing on me. Like that the day was full of jokes and fun, when dinner arrived I was beat. Derek fed me my food since I was seriously too tired to pick up my fork. Arun was not much better off but he didn’t have anyone to feed him and Arun glared at me for it. Derek carried me to our bedroom but I was already asleep by the time we arrived there.
