His Beautiful Mystical Possession

Chapter 4

Amelia

The kids are all on spring break next week, so we have planned a family vacation. It's not often that we all get to go away together. Having three out of four of our kids in college and our oldest always busy with work makes it hard to get away. Being the Alpha King and Queen also makes it hard to get away. Thankfully, Charlie and Lily, Oliver's parents, agreed to keep an eye on things so that we could get the kids away for a vacation. Our Gamma Howard and Delta Niall will also be there to keep an eye on the kingdom.

It will be nice to spend time with all of our kids together for a change. It's not often that we are all able to get together. Our oldest, Jacob, is always working. He never wants to take a break, and when he's not working, he's looking for his mate. Being supernatural creatures, we look young, but we are actually over a hundred years old. My Oliver is one hundred fifty-eight, and I'm one hundred thirty. Our oldest, Jacob, is one hundred, with the twins being twenty-four and my only girl, Sophia, being twenty-two.

There is a big age gap between Jacob and the other three. After having Jacob, things were always busy, and it was never the right time to have more kids. Every time we thought about having more kids, something happened, and we'd end up having to wait. I'm glad that we waited, though. I wouldn't trade my boys or Sophia for anything. Now that they are grown up, I can't wait for them to start finding their mates. I'd love to have some grandbabies running around. I figured that Jacob would have found his mate already, but he hasn't yet. I think that he's starting to lose hope that he ever will. But I know that she's out there and he'll find her soon; I can feel it.

Oliver got called out to Limerick to deal with an issue before our trip, so I decided to go with him. It will be nice to surprise Jack and Sophia. Maybe I'll even get a chance to meet their friend that they're always talking about.

After we get to Limerick, Oliver and his Beta Glyn go deal with the issue, and I head to the college with my guards. When I get there, I look around for Sophia and Jack, but don't see them yet. I know that they are doing exams and should be done soon, so I decided to wait.

As we were pulling in, I looked around and saw a beautiful little girl come out of one of the buildings, walk to a tree, and sit down. I can't see too much of her face, but she's got beautiful, long, bright red hair that reminds me of Glyn's. She looks like a little pixie; she's so tiny. I honestly have no idea how she is carrying the big book bag and the bag that looks like it's for paintings; she is just so tiny.

After she sits down, she pulls out a book and starts to study. She doesn't sit there long, and then I see Jack walk up and sit down with her and hug her. As they're talking, Sophia also walks up to them and starts talking.

I wonder if that is the girl they are always telling me about.

As I was walking up, I was amazed when she pulled out a painting that she had done of my two kids. It was just phenomenal. She is an amazing artist, and I can see her work being worth lots of money one day. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought it was a picture that someone took of them and not a painting. But I heard her tell them about how she was able to paint it. The poor girl said she didn't have family and considers my kids family.

After walking up and talking to the kids, I found out that she is their friend, Aurora Bell Reid. She's the girl that they are always talking about. I asked about her family and was surprised and saddened to hear that she grew up in foster care.

I would swear that she belongs to Glyn; she looks just like him and has the same last name. Thinking back on it, there may be a chance that she is Glyn's.

He was in the States taking care of a problem for us about 21 or 22 years ago. He found his mate back then, just to have her disappear the next day, and he was never able to find her again. He didn't know very much about her, so we didn't know where to look for her. He's not been the same since then. He was so happy when he'd found her, just to have her disappear on him the very next day.

I have to find out if she is his, and if she is, it will break his heart to know that his only child grew up the way she did. He would've wanted to raise her, and if her mom didn't want her, I know he would've raised her alone. He would've had all of us there to help, but he would've been glad to do it, I know he would've. I know he will also be happy to have a daughter. I know his parents would love to have a grandkid to spoil as well. Even if he didn't get to raise her, I know if Aurora is his daughter, he will be thrilled to have her in his life now. And he will be so upset that he wasn't there for her all of her life.

Who's to know if she is or not, and why things happened the way they did if she is his? What I do know is that everything happens for a reason, and maybe she wasn't supposed to be with us until now. Everything will turn out the way it's supposed to, and I have a feeling it will be amazing.

After leaving the kids, I head back to the condo to make dinner for Oliver, Glyn, and me. After getting dinner started, I send a message to a few of the boys who go to school with Jack and Sophia and tell them to keep an eye on Aurora while we're gone. I don't like her being alone and exploring The Clare Glens by herself. At least this way I know that someone will be looking out for her while we're all gone.

It hurts my heart that the poor child has had to go through life alone without any family. I will find out if she's Glynn's daughter, and if she is, she won't be alone ever again. Even if she's not his, she won't be alone ever again. She'll just become my second daughter. I have a feeling that she is meant to be with our family.

When Oliver and Glyn get back, I don't say anything about Aurora possibly being Glyn's daughter. I show them the painting that she did and brag about her being a fantastic artist. By the time Jack and Sophia get home, we are all still sitting up, drinking coffee, and talking.

"Did you guys have fun with Aurora?" I asked them.

"Yeah, we had dinner with her and then followed her to make sure she made it home ok. We won't get to see her tomorrow. She's got two exams, and I've only got one in the morning. By the time she's done, we'll all be gone. I'm going to miss her like crazy," Sophia said.

"Yeah, I am too. I hate leaving her here alone. I wish she were going with us, but she's got to work," Jack said.

"I've asked some of the boys who will be staying here while we're gone to keep an eye out for her. Especially when she goes to The Clare Glens. I want to make sure that nothing happens to her," I said.

"Thanks mom I appreciate it. She's our best friend, and it sucks that she's alone with no family, but she's got us now. I'm going to head to my room to finish packing, and then I need to study some more before I go to bed. I love you," Sophia said.

"Love you too, sweetheart, see you in the morning," I said.

"Good night, baby girl, I love you," Oliver told her.

Not long after Sophia went to her room, Jack headed to his to pack and get ready for bed.

I left Oliver and Glyn to talk and went to take a shower and get into bed. When Oliver finally came to bed, I told him about Aurora and that I thought she might be Glynn's daughter. We decided to wait until after spring break to figure out if she belongs to him or not. I didn't want to get his hopes up by telling him just yet. I wanted to know for sure before I told him anything.

The next morning, Sophia went to school to take her last exam. While she was there, we got our overnight bags loaded up as well as Jack's bags. When Sophia got back home, she finished getting her stuff together and loaded up.

Once everything was loaded up, we got into the cars to head back to the castle. After having lunch with the family, we would be heading to the airport to load up in our private jet to go to our private island.

I couldn't wait to spend the week with my family. Being on Amelia Island in the middle of the ocean meant that we were free to be ourselves. My dragon needed to stretch her wings and spend time with her whelps. I have a feeling it's going to be a really good week.
