Leas POV.
I avoid the knives when another set flies towards me. I catch one of them by the blade and throws it in the attackers direction. I hear a growl and from the woods appears Savannah.
"Loosing your grib, Savannah?" I laugh at her sour face.
"Shut up, Lea. Come help me with this blade." She turns her side to me and reveals the knife in her upper arm. I walk over to her and pulls out the knife, gently.
"Ouch, can you at least be gently, stupid wolf." She growls and touch her wound with her hand. The wound heals in a instant.
"Don't be such a baby. Come here, stupid witch." I chuckle and hug her. She returns my hug and laughs. We look at eachother. She still has the steal grey hair, long and in a braid. Her eyes is emerald with a golden touch. She's wearing a long, green dress, complimenting her eyes.
"So why have you summoned me to the Kings territory? If he sees me, he will kill me and then you." She raises an eyebrown and I get her concern.
"I need your help." I look down on the ground. I trust her but a witch is not well seen in our world. Werewolves and witches are enemies from birth.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I look up from the ground and she's smiling. She knows I never asks for help, so the fact that I contacted her after all this time, is a miracle.
"The Moon Goddess showed up again in a dream and told me to keep my identity hidden from the King. He can't know who I really am, so he thinks I'm Cains Beta and Cain is Alpha Blade." I explain to her. She looks confused by the Moon Goddess request but she knows better than to question the Goddess.
"Okay. She must have a bigger plan in motion then. What can I do?" She asks.
Do you really trust her? After all her family did to you?
Yes, Blade. I do.
"I need you to change Blades colors. No one can see her true form, or they will figure out who I am. Do you have a spell for that?" I ask curiously. She looks away a second and smiles.
"Yes, I can give you a elixir to drink before you shift. Will that do?" She reply. I smile brightly and hug her.
"Yes, thank you Sav! You're the best." She laughs.
"Well, I owe you, you know that." She looks away and avoid my eyes. I penetrates her mind.
It wasn't your fault, Savannah. He may be your father, but you didn't participate in his actions. She looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"I should have stopped him. Done more to prevent his attack." I take her hand in mine and touch her cheek. She blinks a couple of times and returns to her normal self.
"What color would you like her to have?" She wipes away her tears and I realise I've been crying to.
"I don't know, something discreet." I shrug and smile. She nods and takes out a book from her bag. I look at the bag with confusion when she takes out a pot and different ingredients. Pigtails, batwings, grass, something red which I assume is blood and what looks like fingernails. I'm almost about to vomit when Savannah looks at me and cracks up with laughter.
"Maybe you should sit down before you faint, Lea!" She can't stop laughing and I decide to sit down on the grass next to her. She begins to pour the blood in the pot and with her fingers, she lights up a fire. She's speaking a foreign languages and I'm following her every move. She puts the ingredients in one by one and stir with her spoon.
"Jainko maiteak, eman iezadazu indarra izpirituak pizteko." She reachs for my hand and cuts my palm. The blood starts dripping and she places my hand over the pot.
"Utzi bere otsoa aske. Utzi bere otsoa aske. Utzi bere otsoa aske." She repeats the same sentence over and over again until the pot boils and a blue steaming cloud smokes from the pot. She takes the elixir and puts it in small tubes. She gives them to me and smile.
"Here, take on before you shift. They will last 12 hours, so always keep one on you. I've made 12 for you, if you run out, call me again." I take the tubes and give her a hug.
"Thank you, Sav. I've miss you." She packs up her bag and grin at me.
"I miss you too, girl. Give me a call if you need anything." She waves and then she vanish in a cloud of smoke.
I walk back to the main house, up the stairscase and bump into Damon walking through the front door. He almost dodges me, but bumps into me with his shoulder, sending me down the stairscase again where I land in a couple of strong arms. I look up and to my surprice, it's Prince Charming. That sounded oddly familiar. The sparks danced on my skin where is hands where holdning me.
"Watch where you're going." He grunt with a little smirk. He sits me down on the ground. I straighten my clothes and get control of my wild hair. I hold on tight on the bag with the elixirs in.
"Thanks." I mumble and turn on my heels to walk up the stairs again. Damon is grinning on the top and gives me an apologetic smile. I smile and walk past him in a hurry.
I reach my room and toss the bag on the bed. I change into a long, silver dress and makes a french braid. I mind link Cain and he knocks on the door a minute later. He opens the door and finds me in the bed, looking up on the ceiling.
"The ceiling is pretty." I mumble. Cain starts laughing and sits down next to me.
"Are you drunk?" He asks, still laughing. I sit up on my elbows and give him a stern look.
"No, of course not." I look at his grinning face. Why is he in such a good mode?
"Why are you so happy?" I chuckle. He looks ridiculous with that grin on his face. He suddenly hugs me, taking me by surprise and we fall down on the bed. He sits up on his elbow and looks at me with a loving look. He strokes his hand against my cheek and removes a hair. He looks at my lips and then sits up. The joy in his eyes is still there, but there is also concern.
"Your birthday is in 6 days. Do you think the King is your mate?" I look at him in surprise and sit up. I take his hand in mine and kiss his cheek. There are no sparks when we touch each other, as there is with Nathan. I know Cain is not my mate, I hope he finds his mate while we are here. I hope my best friend finds love.
"I think." I look down at my hands. I hope he is. The feelings he brings out in me, the way his anger excites me, I've never felt that before. Cain coughs to get my attention again.
"You hope?" He asks. I nod and giggle. He gives me a nod and stands up. He reaches his hand out for me and I take it.
"Come on, lets get to the meeting. We can't let the King wait." We walk out my room and down the corridor. The meeting is starting in 10 minutes and a lot of other Alphas has arrived to attend. The conference room is filled with Alphas, Lunas and Betas. Cain and I enters the room and I hear a low growl coming from the Kings chest.
I look him in his eyes, golden lust is swirling in them and I smirk and wink.
He's going to kill you, Lea.
Don't worry, Blade.
