Rejected by your mate

New home

Chapter six.

The morning sun cast a warm, golden glow over Silver Lake, giving a signal of the dawn of a new day. Julia, her parents, Mike, and

Sam and the newly freed guardian, Luke, stood by the water's edge, their faces illuminated by the gentle light.

Julia couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility weighing on her shoulders. She had not only uncovered her extraordinary powers

but had also played a role in releasing Luke from the grip of darkness. There were so many questions that needed answers.

Turning towards Luke, Julia inquired, "Is there a way to undo the curse entirely? To ensure that this malevolent force never returns to

haunt this place?"

Luke nodded thoughtfully." Yes, there is a way, but it won't be easy. The curse draws its strength from the imbalance in the natural

energies of this land. To truly banish it, we must restore that balance."

"What do we need to do? We'll do whatever it takes," Mike asked.

Luke unfolded the path ahead." There are ancient rituals and artifacts hidden throughout this region, each holding a piece of the

land's lost power. We must gather them and perform a ceremony when the balance between light and dark is at its most fragile."

Julia's parents, who had spent centuries guarding the secrets of this mystical place, knew that the task ahead would be arduous. "We'll help you find these artifacts," they vowed, their silver hair glittering in the morning sun. Julia thought about all the things that had happened.

She had gone from being an ordinary young woman to a guardian of a place steeped in ancient magic.

And so they walked to the beautiful palace where Julia's parents lived.

The palace looked so sparkly, with marvelous white marvels. A beautiful flower garden in front of the palace and a fountain full of

sparkling blue water.

As they walked true the palace garden they could see Silver pack members awakening from slumber. They all looked at their leaders.

But everyone looking at Julia seemed confused.

Who is she? Why does she look like Queen Mell? Is she the princess? But the princess was just a baby!

Please listen everyone: said King Richard.

And walked in front of the palace and started telling a story about how they slept in a long dream. How it was caused by a curse,

created by his brother who is now king of all packs. How Julia is their princess and how she saved them.

As the introduction was completed, Julia had to go to introduce both her families. Elli and Joe shook hands with Mell and Richard. It was strange to see them so close. They talked for a few hours about missed memories of Julia's childhood. Shared memories,

laughter, and stories intertwined, creating a tapestry of her past. Elli and Joe, who had raised Julia in their place, were warmly

thanked by Mell and Richard for their invaluable role in nurturing the young Julia.

Amid all the talking, Mike's gaze softened as he observed Julia's joyful interactions. His emotions swirled, a mixture of happiness for her newfound purpose and a tinge of bittersweet realization that their paths were diverging. And that it really won't be like it was in the past.

The time came for farewells, and Sam, Elli, Joe, and Mike approached Julia. Sam, with a brotherly embrace, expressed his pride in

her strength. Julia remember that you are strong and don't listen to what others say about you. You can do it, you just need to believe in yourself, said Sam, Whispering in Julia's ears. Elli and Joe, with tears glistening in their eyes, hugged Julia tightly, grateful for the time they shared. Elli embraced Julia tightly, her eyes reflecting both pride and maternal concern." Take care, my darling. Remember, you are stronger than you think. We'll be here, supporting you from afar." Joe, ever the Stoic figure, added with a subtle smile, "Bring

balance to our world, Julia." You will always be our daughter, and we will be waiting for letters from your journey.

The farewell turned bittersweet when Julia turned to Mike. An awkward silence hung between them, a symphony of unspoken words echoing. "Mike," she began, her eyes searching for the right words," thank you for everything. Our paths may be diverging, but the memories we shared will forever be a part of me."

Mike, grappling with his own emotions, managed a small smile:" Take care, Julia. May your journey be filled with triumphs and

discoveries. Until we meet again"

Mike's farewell lingered with unspoken words, a subtle ache accompanying the genuine smile he bestowed upon her.

As they ended talking, Julia waved goodbye to her family and Mike. And started to develop plans with

Luke. As the group departed, Mike couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy witnessing Julia's conversation with Luke. Unspoken

emotions simmered beneath the surface as he grappled with the changing dynamics.

Months passed, and the search for artifacts was just starting. Julia was training to control her newfound powers with her trainer Alex. Alex has silver hair and little blue-brown shaded eyes. As my parents told me, he is a mixture of a true silver blood pack member and some rogue. But both his parents are not around her because they left the pack, leaving Alex alone. He is a seasoned trainer, with a penchant for bold flattery, providing guidance, and creating a tension-filled training dynamic. He was joking almost every training session.

Princess, can we get to go to a private place just you and me? You know we could talk and have some contact if you like. And I can

train you to do something else. Julia turned towards Alex and said: You know if someone sees you talking to me like that you will be at my father's mercy. That would be sad, wouldn't it Alex, said Julia, touching his chin and whispering near his ears. As she said that, she walked away, leaving Alex in shock.

And to think that this is the same Julia who couldn't look into my eyes in our first training session. As Julia was going down the

corridor she noticed someone following her. She was going slowly and watching her back. Then she got attacked from the front.

Julia reacted quickly, grabbing the attacker by the hand and throwing her to the ground. "Isn't it awkward for you, Lisa, to lose me

now? Don't worry, I will train more and beat you, little princess," said Lisa. She was Julia's friend, they met true Alex. Both were

training together with Alex. Lisa is a little smaller than Julia, with silver hair and blue eyes like the others. Lisa is a little stubborn but a sweetheart and helps Julia a lot to understand her duties as a princess. Where are you going now? Asked Lisa.

I'm going to classes with Luke. "We need to find at least one place of artifacts, or we will not be ready when my uncle attacks. Is it

only about the artifacts and learning or is there something else?" said Lisa, teasing Julia. She turned red and said that she didn't know what Lisa was talking about and opened the doors to the library. She opened the door and saw how Luke was sleeping at a desk, cowering on both sides of the desk with books. His black hair cowering his half face. She thought to herself, sitting down, how

handsome he was. She liked how he treated her and that he never told her harsh words about her ability and was patient with her

learning. As Julia was watching Luke, he opened his golden eyes and was looking towards her. Julia blushed and started the

conversation by looking at her books in front of her. Luke noticed her blushing cheeks and smiled, looking at her. Julia and Luka

gathered all the necessary information about the artifacts, and they found the first artifacts' location. It was in Shadow Forest under

the sun's light. "I think we need to learn more about the forest to understand what is waiting for us there to be prepared for anything, "said Luka, "You can go now. I will tell you if I learn something new about the forest."

Julia walked towards the door, looking back for a moment to see him before going back to her room. As Julia set on her bed she

thought about the feelings she was starting to feel towards Luka. But she understands that it is not the right time or place for those

emotions now. Julia's room was made of green and brown colors, her bed was decorated with wood that was decorated with golden

leaves. All the rooms looked like a princess' room with mirrors and tables, sofas and even the piano that her parents gifted her. Julia

stood up from bed and decided to write a letter.

"Alright, it is time to write to my family. It has been two weeks since the last letter." Thought Julia.

"Hi, I'm writing to tell you that it's been very hard to be here without you. I miss your morning teasing Sam. And Mom cooks and

advices. Dad, I miss your jokes and laughter. I've been training hard and even beating up my trainer, Alex, who is a bit too much

womanizer. But don't worry, I'm putting him in his place. Also, I have help with that from my friend Lisa. She studies with me. She

is very lovely and funny. Luke and I are trying to find artifacts. For now, we have found one place it is located. But for now, we are

trying to understand the place it is located. I can't tell you more details because there could be a spy sent by my uncle. Please be safe and don't worry, I'm eating healthy.

Love Julia."

Okay, now I have to send this. I need to go to Mell and Richard. It's been hard to get used to calling them my parents. Maybe one day i can. As I was going to them, I heard them talking about my uncle sending spies to every pack to know what they were doing.

I couldn't get it anywhere and asked Mell if it was true that he was spying on everyone.

Yes honey he is putting together a spy group who is informing him about packs.

Do you think it is safe to send my letter? I don't know, honey, let's figure out some other options to send it directly to them.

Then Luke came in and told me, I could just use my powers to send your letter to family.

Is it okay to send it like that, Mell?

Yes, for now, it is safer than delivery.

As they talked in another place, one spy was watching them and sent a message to Edward. Guardian is hiding in Silver Pack

territory. What should I do?..........
