Something Wicked This Way Comes

Chapter 14: How Many Powers?

Justin’s POV

  After getting the water and ordering my men to do the same I rush outside and my beloved mate is still wrapped up in flames. The closer I get to her the more I realize that her eyes aren’t the same color I fell in love with. They are a lime green and I know for fact that her wolf doesn’t have lime green eyes. The only type of supernatural creature I have ever encountered with eyes like that were witches. I guess I just didn’t expect that so its kind of a shock.

  “Thank you just set the buckets beside her. You can’t just line them up either. You need to put them in the shape of a pentagram.” Ashley told me and my men when we had started to line them up.

  After they were in the correct shape around my mate, Ashley started to chant. I’m not sure what she was saying but when she started Tricia started writhing in pain and screeching. I had never heard that sound come out of anyone or anything for that matter.

  “If this doesn’t stop soon human, I’m taking control and ripping that witch from limb to limb.” Tanner said with a growl.

  “I know. I don’t like this any more than you do but she’s trying to help. Do you not see the water rising out of the buckets around her?” I asked with a growl as well.

  Tanner, for those of you who haven’t put it together, is very hot headed especially when it comes to our mate.

  When the witch finally stopped chanting Allan and Taylor were both holding me to the ground since I was having trouble controlling Tanner. This is the only time I have lost control over him and I think it was because he was feeding off of my anger as well as his own.

  “Let go of him.” I heard someone say with a very powerful growl.

  They released me and every wolf, including Tanner bowed their heads in submission. I felt a had on my cheek and by the tingles I felt it had to have been Tricia. There is no doubt about it but her aura is very different now.

  “Look at me my love.” She said.

  I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding in and looked up. My eyes found her face, but her eyes aren’t the same. To be honest they are sexier now than they were to begin with. They are now each a different color. Her right eye is now lime green, like both of her eyes were when she was on fire, her left eye is her natural Emerald color. 

  “You look breath taking love.” I told her with a smile on my face. I tucked her hair behind her ear and notice there was a number right above my mark. “What’s this number mean Ashley?” I asked.

  “It’s the number of powers she is capable of having. Chances are she wont get most of them until she is either pregnant or after she has her first child. At most right now all she will have is maybe 4. That’s half of the powers she will get since her number is 8.” She informed us.

  “So wait I’m going to have 8 powers in total?” Tricia asked.

  “Yes. But you will also keep your strengths of being a wolf along with not having any of their disadvantages. Meaning if I were to stab you with a silver knife,” I growled at that comment but Ashley ignored me, “ it would have absolutely no affect except to piss you off. That also means that you will have the same advantages Alpha Richardson.” She finished.

  “Wow. That’s amazing.” I said and pulled my mate closer to me.

  “Call a pack meeting in one hour. We all need to discuss this. Ashley will you please fallow me to my office, there are some questions I have for you.” She said as she dismissed everyone.

When I got inside I decided to go to the kitchen and get the three of us a bottle of water. After getting the water I went to my mates office and knocked on the door.

  “Come in.” I heard my mate say.

  I walked in and handed them both a bottle of water before going to the couch and sitting down.

  “Now that Justin is here I have some questions that need answers.” She said.

  “Alright, anything you want to know your more than welcome to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability.” Ashley said.

  “First, why is it that I have no wound or even a scar from where Kathrine stabbed me?” Tricia asked.

  “As I stated outside you do have some new abilities along with some new strengths. What I didn’t say was that along with your supernatural abilities with being a wolf, your witch side enhances those abilities.” She answered,

  “Okay, is that the reason as to why when I woke up in the hospital, before calling you, I felt a rush of power like nothing I’ve ever felt before?” She asked.

  “That would certainly explain that yes.” Ashley answered.

  “So why is it that Kathrine was able to kill my mother when she was a wolf as well as being a witch?” she asked.

  “Kathrine dabbled in dark magic. Soon it completely consumed her, so she wanted nothing more than to kill anyone and anything in her path. When your parents were mated, and your dad marked your mom she was turned into a wolf. Since you were born one and not turned you got the upside advantages whereas your mother became more vulnerable to the wolf weaknesses.” She explained and in a way it made since.

  “I have a question if I may?” I said.

  “Yes, what is it young man?” Ashley replied.

  “Do you know why she even started working with my parents to begin with? I would ask the elders of my pack, but just as she did your coven, she killed all of the elders of my pack and none of my allies know why they would have teamed up with her?” I asked.

  “I do not have the answer you seek, however if you will allow me a little time, I may be able to figure it out. One of my powers is the power of Premonitions. Using that power and the if that I may be able to visit their room and touch some of their belongings or even visit their resting place I could see what exactly happened I may also be able to tell you why they were killed.” She said and I just sat there shocked.

  How could she even know that they were dead? I know that I didn’t tell her. Maybe she used her gift to check me out and make sure I was a good mate for Tricia. That thought alone made me smile.

  “When should we start on my training?” Tricia asked.

  “I was thinking we could start this afternoon. I want you to try not to allow your emotions to consume you. You were feeling something very strongly when you caught fire am I right?” Ashley asked and Tricia and I both shared a shocked expression.

  “Yes how did you know. The only one who could possibly know that is Justin.” Tricia said what her and I both were thinking.

  “I had a Premonition this morning when I was making coffee I figured out the exact time it would happen and that is how I showed up before anyone had a chance to touch you. If anybody other than blood family, that were not taken over by darkness, were to touch you the would have been incinerated. Your mother had a similar gift and hers was tide into her emotions. That’s why when she would get very angry it would feel like you were in the middle of a small earthquake.” Ashley explained with a grin on her face.

  “Oh okay. Well thank you for that.” Tricia said. “So does that make me a pyro or am I an elemental?”

  “You my lovely niece, are an elemental. That wasn’t me that pushed the water to your body to put out the flames, that was you my dear. Your witch half knew what to do even if you had no clue. That is why I had the guys put the buckets into the shape of a pentagram. You weren’t born to be an Alpha or a Luna. You are a part of a prophecy. Your meant to be the ruler of all the witches and werewolves. You were born to be a queen and your mate the king. The people who claim to be the Alpha King and Luna queen know that they will be asked to step down and have known it since the day of your birth.” Ashley told us.

  I’m not sure how this is going to end but I will support my mate in any decision she makes.
