SAMUAL’S POV:
Alexis creates a portal and says “let’s go boys.” With a smirk.
I am not going to lie I am anxious. She could never master portals before..
“Do you trust me?” She asks when she sees me hesitate.
I nod. “With my entire being.” I respond.
She grabs my hand and grabs Dimitri’s, “I know before I couldn’t master them. HOWEVER, I had mastered them now. I could successfully teleport myself, Crystal, my mom, and Caitlyn multiple times…” she pauses. “I can do this… You just have to trust me..”
With that we walk into the portal..
We come out through an other portal into the library at the Moonshadow pack.
She nods and smiles.
I kiss her forehead and Dimitri kisses her cheek. We then head off to find Caitlyn.
As we are walking to their room we run into Alice, their mom. She quickly hugs Alexis.
“Honey, what are you doing back so soon?? We didn’t expect you until at least tomorrow night?? Is everything alright??” She asks worried.
Alexis’ nods. “I really need to speak with everyone. Meaning you, dad, Isabella, Maverick, Caitlyn, Gentri, and Crystal. Is Velkan here?? If he is him too.” Alexis states.
“What is this about??” Alice asks and looks between the 3 of us.
Alexis grabs her mom’s hands and looks her in the eyes. “Mom, this is really important. Please ask everyone to come immediately to the conference room. This needs to be discussed now.” Alexis explains with a little bit of command in her tone.
Her mom nods “please head to the conference room. I’ll take care of the rest.” And then she was off.
Alexis grabs our hands and leads us to the conference room. We wait for the ‘all-clear’ that it’s ok to go in.
After about 15 minutes every single person Alexis asked for was in this room. All anxious and ready to hear what we had to discuss.
Once the last person was in the door was locked and everyone became quiet.
“Alexis, please explain why you had us all pulled from what we were doing? This better be critical information as I was in the middle of an important meeting..” Maverick started but Caitlyn put her hand on his and he stopped and calmed down.
“Alexis. What is it you wish you discuss?” Caitlyn asks very professionally.
Alexis looks from Dimitri to myself. We both nod.
“Everything we discuss is not allowed to leave this room. Is that understood?” Alexis asks.
Everyone agrees.
“Ok good. I just wanted to clarify this. The first thing I wanted to bring to your attention is that you may have noticed a shift in the kingdoms.. Crystal’s spell worked.” She pauses to look at Crystal who was smiling her all knowing smile. “She had me do a spell that when the three of us finished the marking ritual that the two kingdoms would combine. Or something along those lines.. The two kingdoms shifted and now are only separated by the enchanted forest..” she pauses again letting everyone process this information. “We have decided to build our own castle IN the enchanted forest. It will be between both current castles, including a bridge to both castles. We plan to let Sam continue to run the werewolf kingdom and Dimitri run the vampire kingdom. They will consult when needed and may overlap things when needed.” She pauses again.
“What about you?” Caitlyn asks curiously.
“I will be supporting BOTH kingdoms as both Sam and Dimitri are both my mates.” She adds with a proud smile.
Everyone begins talking at once. Going from debating to arguing to agreeing about everything.
“Will this even work?” My dad asks over everyone.
“Yes.” Alexis states without a doubt. This causes everyone to stop.
“Amara may be getting in touch with you Isabella as she wants to do some sort of ceremony or something for me as queen… Still not too sure I want a ceremony..” she starts to say.
“Nope. You need one. Everyone needs to be able to meet and see their queen. It’s a marvelous idea and I’d be happy to help Amara if she needs my help!” Isabella explains with a big smile.
“So now that this was discussed.. Is there anything else?” Maverick asks proudly.
ALEXIS’ POV:
When Maverick asks if there is anything else I feel anxious and nervous again.. What if something is wrong with me? What if they get worried I’m a threat or something? Maybe I’ll tell them about the vision first..
“Well there is actually two things..” I state and then explain my vision.
Everyone sits quietly.
“We won’t allow this to happen. I’ll make sure of it myself if I have to.” Gentri states protectively.
Everyone begins talking at the same time again. It’s causing my head to hurt. I begin rubbing my temples.
They must have noticed as they all became quiet again.
“Are you alright sweetheart?” My mom asks gently.
“Just overwhelmed and stressed.. I have had a migraine ever since I had that vision that won’t go away.” I explain.
“I may have a cure for that later. An old family recipe. Works like a charm every time.” Velkan proudly states.
I nod.
“What is the last thing you wish to discuss?” Maverick cuts straight to the point.
I get anxious. Sam and Dimitri both grab my hands as reassurance..
“It’s ok. This is a safe place.” Sam reminds me.
“What is going on?” My dad asks worried
“It is easier to just show you compared to trying to explain… Just please be kind.. I am very self conscious..” I explain almost in tears and shaking.
Caitlyn walks over to me and hugs me. She then puts her hands on my shoulders and looks into my eyes. “It’s ok. Everyone here loves you and respects you. Like Sam stated, this IS a safe place.. Ok?” She asks.
I nod. She then goes back to sit with Maverick. I turn my back to everyone and slowly take off my jacket.
I turn around and everyone gasps.
Not one word.
The room is silent.
Crystal begins slowly walking towards me. When she reaches me she gestures if she can touch. I nod with tears in my eyes still trembling.
She closes her eyes as she traces the design. She stops and opens her eyes. A blank expression on her face..
“What is it??” I ask worried and about to start bawling.
She grabs my hands. “You are just so strong and powerful. Between the mixture of getting your wolf and fully completing the ritual of marking and mating each other, and one of your mates being an other supernatural creature.. It made you stronger. Your marks design just explains your strength, powers, and love..” she pauses.. “I am curious about something…”
“What?” I ask.
She turns to look at Maverick and my dad. “Do you have a place that is private to allow her to transform into her wolf?? I would like to see something..” she asks.
“Yes we do. What do you want to see?” Caitlyn asks.
“If I’m right, you’ll see why I wanted to do this in private..” Crystal responds.
Caitlyn and Maverick lead the group to the arena we train in.
THIRD PERSON’ POV:
As everyone is learning everything they begin to worry about the fate of their kingdoms and lives.. Then when Crystal asks to go somewhere private to see Alexis’ wolf they begin to get anxious.
Alexis throws her coat on. Samual and Dimitri both grab her hands.
Caitlyn and Maverick lead everyone to the private area. Which is the training arena.
Once everyone was in Crystal used a blocking spell and blocked all windows and doors. No one in and no one out. This made everyone anxious.
She gestures for everyone to move back.
“Ok Alexis. I want you to just breathe. Nothing is wrong I am just curious about something. Please just go with it?” Crystal asks Alexis.
Alexis nods.
Alexis then quickly transforms into Nala.
Everyone let out a collective gasp.
Crystal smiles. “I knew it.”
