Calling It
1280 Words
Jewel's POV
Mom, Dad we need to chat a moment. I called through the mind link.
I heard nothing from them for several minutes. We will be there shortly. Mom said.
"They will be here in a minute or two." I plopped back down with my brother and Mortou. None of us said a word. We knew it was gonna be something that surprised even them. We figured it would be once we hit the mainland of Europe.
A few minutes later we heard their footsteps coming down the hall. I sat up as did my brother Hawk. Mortou got up and stood to the side leaning against the wall. Nobody saw the side of him, my brother and I did. Mortou had a strict thing about it. Even the men under him were not allowed to get this version of Mortou. He said at some point my brother and I would get to see his mate. I was excited. I was curious about the woman that had been chosen for him. Mortou only said I would see her when it was time to take my place as Queen. That would be two more years at 18.
The door opened, in strode my parents. Glancing around, to land their eyes on us. "So why the order to keep together?" My dad glanced at Mortou.
Mortou's stone face on, he jerked his head to me. "This is the place we fight." I sighed. Eyeing them to watch the reactions they may do. Our mom went straight to my brother Hawk, grabbing his hands he showed her. She sucked in a ragged breath, looking back at me there were tears in her eyes. "At least my babies will be safe." She crossed her hands around herself. "I will let Amber and Hawk know to bring Ronan to you." She squeezed her eyes shut a moment. Gulping she opened them. "What else do we need to know?" She looked back at her son.
I need Lory to come here so that I can awaken something the Goddesses gave her. Hawk's voice spoke in the mind link. It was way easier in a link for him than in real life. He could talk but it was not as eloquent as it was in the mind link. It was broken and required so much effort that when his mind link formed he always did the link.
"We will send her after dinner as you requested.' My mother nodded, looking back at me. "Are you ok?" She sat next to me grabbing my hands.
"Momma you should know by now, that I am ok with what is happening. It has to happen so we can get this old nasty weirdly perverted piece of crap gone." I huffed. I had heard about him since my mother started training. I was damn tired of hearing his name from the last 7 years.
A deep laugh rose from our Dad, "that is a helluva set of word usage." The grin was a proud one.
"What can I say? I had a great teacher." I chuckled as Athens popped in to take a bow. Drawing our attention to him as he gave my mom a tender hug.
"So it's to be here?" He inquired.
"Yes." I nodded at his question. "Well goody I been itchin' for b***h slappin' kind of day." he giggled.
I laughed at his little happy dance, as it made mom smile too. Athens is what kept us from the dark brooding thoughts that raged only right before we went to sleep. "I guess we should head down for dinner." Our dad Joe announced around the room.
We all filed out of the room and headed down to the dining room for this dinner. Each of us in our thoughts as we descended the stairs into this fake display of hospitality.

Loredana's POV
**********
"Where are we going?" I asked Mike as we weaved down a hallway after dinner that I was not familiar with.
"You have been requested to see Jewel." Mike's words were all business, which told me this was my time to be professional and probably act as the liaison for something.
I followed him silently the rest of the way as he held my hand through the hallway. I noticed this hallway seemed different than ours colder less inviting. I did not understand why it felt that way when the decoration and warm wooden tone were similar to our own.
Mike knocked on a door several doors down from the stairs we walked up. Mortou opened the door and ushered us in.
"Lory!" Jewel squealed as she came up and hugged me.
I hugged her back, "I was requested here?" I looked around to see only her brother and Mortou who I had come to expect when I was around them.
"My brother Hawk wanted to chat with you a moment." Jewel's dark chocolate brown eyes darted to her brother's amber-colored ones. I had up until now never talk to him.
Lory, I need to activate what the Goddesses gave you. I heard the young male's voice in the link.
"What?" I spoke looking at the young man. He wore a serious look, almost pained in his eyes.
"The goddesses gave young Hawk here great power. He knows its time to awaken what was given to you." Mortou pushed himself off the wall to take a few steps forward.
"This is not going to hurt her right?" Mike grunted standing in front of me slightly.
No, sighed the young man as he stood walking with a purpose toward me. His eyes flashed gold as he got closer. Mike growled stepping before me a little more. Aggression poised in his body ready to strike.
Worried, I cringed until I watched Mike fold forward and get tossed through the air landing with a thud as he stayed pinned there. I was frozen with fear. Jewel's brother strode toward me his golden eyes glowing brightly as he yanked my hands toward him. Mike roared with unleashed violence. Though he could not get up.
"Let me in," The young Hawk growled. I closed my eyes as I felt his presence push open the door my body had tried to close on him. I felt him crawl around my mind as it literally felt like he was slamming open doors.
My body felt weak, as he continued his wanderings in my mind. My eyes lulled a little as exhaustion started filling my body. When you wake up your powers will have been unlocked. Know that your heart is the key to using them. You are untouchable to those who want to harm you. But everyone else you care about is. The young Hawk released my hands with a jerk as Mike skidded across the floor to catch me.
"I did not hurt your mate, she has the powers you will need to help her adjust," Jewel spoke for Hawk as his hand laid on her shoulder looking at Mike. Blackness followed his words. I let the black void take me shortly after feeling Mikes's arms.

Greetings Readers!
I am doing Jewel's POV as she knows the most about her brother save him and Mortou. I also used this as a way to open up her next chapters once I get a few books finished here. As her story unfolds in gains the Queen of the Southern wolves. I will likely start her story toward the end of the year. I love comments so please feel free to let me know if you want to hear more of Jewel's thoughts!
Much Thanks and Love,
