Aylah turns the radio back up as we speed down the road. My mind races.
BING BING. My phone just came off of DND. omg.
Momma ?: do you want to talk about what I overheard today...
Me: You did hear it....
MOMMA?: Is it true
ME: I think so mom....
"hey pay attention" Ry smiles from the back seat.
"what are you wearing to the ball tonight" Aylah asks hitting the radio.
" I don't know yet" I shake my head setting my phone down.
"let's go shopping then" Aylah smiles.
we head to the mall and begin our hunt for the perfect dresses. Aylah finds a beautiful dark navy dress simple but elegant. Ry found an amazing deep v line olive green dress. I however seem to be struggling..
"Red is your color so maybe let's look for something red" Aylah suggests pulling out a red dress.
"not that one though" Ry laughs taking the dress from Ay.
"what about this one" I say pulling out a stunning red dress. The girls look at me in awe.
"put it on" they say. I turn to head towards the dressing room when I notice a woman. I've seen her before I just can't place where... do you recognize that woman. I ask mind linking the girls.
I've seen her around I think. Aylah replies.
I feel like we see her alot... you have a stalker? Ry asks.
"The dress is my size I don't need to try it on. let's pay and go." I suddenly have a weird feeling. As we go to leave I notice the woman is no longer there. huh. maybe I'm over thinking.
" you have time to eat right" Ry asks as we walk to my car.
"actually no I have to get home" I sigh.
"you're still getting ready with us right" Aylah asks.
"yes I have to go meet my mom first" I lie. technically I do have to meet my mom . but first I have to go see a different friend of mine. a witch friend. Since I was young I've been drawn to witches. Normally wolves and witches weren't friends. one always fearing the other made it hard for peace. Here in our pack we dont tolerate any disrespect between our kinds. I drop the girls back off at the school near each of their cars and I notice the woman again. she looks slightly different though.....

AYLAH: DID YOU GUYS SEE THE GIRL
RYRY: SHE KINDA DID LOOK LIKE THE GIRL FROM THE STORE
AYLAH: COINCIDENCE?.......
ME : SHE LOOKS DIFFERENT......
RYRY: IM GETTING A BAD FEELING
AYLAH: SOMEONE GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO SMELL HER
ME: I don't know.... I've never seen her on actual pack lands ...
RYRY: LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
I lead the way as we pull out I see her mouthing something and decide I'm being paranoid. I drive like im going home until the girls go their separate ways. I'm only about five minutes away from her house now. the rest of my drive goes smooth. I pull in and she's on the porch waiting for me.
"Azlynd" she smiles coming down the stairs. "it's good to see you" she adds hugging me.
"you to Sav. how've you been" I smile hugging her back. We catch up on lost time for about 20 minutes. She seems nervous. Her heart rate is unstable.
"What's wrong Sav" I ask taking her hand lightly.
"I have to tell you something before you shift" she says pulling her hand away. I turn to fully face her.
"what is it" I ask.
"I know things" she says fidgeting with her hands.
"I know you do. You have the rarest of gifts I've ever seen in a witch" I smile reassuring her that whatever is going on is going to be okay.
"sometimes the moon goddess shows me fates that I cannot unsee" she cries.
"what has she shown you that is troubling you so much" I ask.
"I cannot tell you yet" she looks at me and I can tell she wants to tell me.
"you know you can tell me anything. but I will not pressure you.." I say. " Savien I'll come back after I shift... we can talk about this" I say. she whipes her eyes.
"you must go you're going to be late to meet your ma" she says . I glance at my phone and she is right if I don't go now I'll be late home. I pull her into a hug and hold her tight.
"whatever it is Sav it's gonna be okay" I let her go and run to the car. " I'll be back" I add before pulling off. I wonder what she could have seen that upset her so much. I head to the house and see my mother in the yard dressed beautifully. I park and quickly walk to her embrace.
"what's wrong" she asks.
"nothing serious just thinking" I lie. I don't want her knowing I'm hanging with a witch again. She knows most witches are sneaky with wolves.
"you're a bad liar. I smell it on you"
"I'm sorry ma. I just don't want you worried about me" I sigh.
"come on grab what you need and go meet your friends" she smiles. I run in the house and grab some make up and jewelry and prepare to take my leave when my brother steps in.
"how are you feeling" he asks. He knows me just as well as I know myself.
"I'm not to sure yet" I answer honestly.
"you think they're your mates" he asks.
"I do.. and it scares me" I say
"because you don't believe you're fit to rule the fae" he asks.
"because I'm not sure I'm worthy of ruling the fae"
"I think your a perfect fit. you're strong and brave and kind. not just to wolves but to all fae." he says walking out of my room. He always seems to know what to say. I grab my bag and my keys and leave the house.
