The Awakening of the Crowned Wolf

Chapter Seven - Cullies

I pulled up in front of the hotel where Nicolas was waiting. He smiles and jumps in the car. I asked him about pack life and what a normal day is like. What were his mother and father like? Did he have siblings? I had learned his father was the Alpha of the pack and that when Nicolas became of age, the title would be passed down to him. He has 2 sisters and another brother. I wonder if my biological parents had other children.

In both human and wolf form, Nicolas said they often trained in self-defense. Parking is a short distance away from Cullies. Seeing my friends, I wave. I walked with them to their booth. It is a large, half-circular booth. Nicole let me slide into the booth first. He then slid right beside me. Wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

At the table, we share food like mozzarella sticks, chicken strips, and nachos. Rachel took a date; the other girls swung solo. We laughed a lot, joked around, and sang a lot. After checking my cell phone, it was time to go to the dance at the high school. I reminded everyone that it was time to pay our bills and leave.

Nicolas placed his hand on the small of my back, which brought me shivers from my head to my feet. He asked, "are you cold?" I replied, "No, just had a light chill." We were standing near the passenger door of my car. He is looking down into my eyes with his beautiful dark golden-brown eyes. He leans down to touch my lips to his. He kissed me and I kissed him back. While we are kissing, I can feel a death chill glare.

Standing there were my ex and his girlfriend. He walks over with disgust in his voice, "You will kiss him and not me?!" He tried to punch Nicolas but was not fast enough. Nicolas grabbed his fist and bent it back until my ex was kneeling. Nicolas, with sternness, commands, "You will not come near Alexi or me ever. She is mine!" "Do you understand?" My ex-nods yes, Nicolas releases him and walks to my side of the car to open my door for me. Then, when I am in, he hops into his side of the car.

I look at Nicolas sternly and let him know I am not owned by anyone. He smirks and kisses my knuckles and replies, "Whatever you want to believe." If I were not driving, I swear I would haul off and punch him. He is a chauvinistic, egotistical jerk! MINE really mine?

I park the car in the school parking lot near the gym. Both schools are there. I can see Redwood Highs school bus. I tried to open my door, but Nicolas was right there in seconds to open it for me.

I am still upset about his being overly macho and calling me his. I glared at him. "I can get to my door. I am my own person."

Nicolas puts his hand in the center of my back and whispers in my ear, "Don't I know it." I cannot help but laugh and lightly slap him on his arm.

When we enter the gym, the lights are dim, with disco-like lights dancing across the floor. Nicolas takes me in his arms and starts dancing slowly. The song is clearly not intended for slow dancing. My eyes widen in puzzlement. "Don't you know that this is supposed to be a fast dance?" Nicolas looks into my eyes and then focuses on my lips as he kisses me softly.

Nicholas responds. "When I am with you, the world slows down. I just want you in my arms." After the song ended, Nicholas and I talked to some of his friends. We smiled at each other as they introduced themselves.

I was not paying attention to anything but Nicolas and his friends when I heard a commotion behind me.

I see Stephanie on the floor in pain and Samantha standing over her. Stephanie is moaning, stating she had to stop Samantha from trying to pour a drink all over me.

I looked at Samantha and then at my friend lying on the ground in pain. I am so angry I cannot even fathom it. This little witch of a wolf just hurt my absolute best friend. How dare she!!!

Nicolas was watching me, and he could tell I was losing my temper. He could see my hands glowing with almost a sparkle in them. He mind-links his Beta and has him rush Samantha out of there. He has his gamma help Stephanie.

Nicolas grabs me and throws me over my shoulders. "LET ME DOWN!!" I yell at Nicolas. "She needs to be put in her place!!!" Pounding his back as my anger is going to explode into something like a grenade, Samantha just pulled my pin and it is only moments until I explode.

Nicolas just keeps running with me over his shoulder, out the back of the field, across the crick, and into the woods. He slowly puts me down and holds me tight.

"Calm down, baby, calm down. Look at your hands. I think you were going to throw a fireball or something at Samantha." I glared at him, as I was seething, "What do you still like her? You are standing up for her?"

Nicolas is still holding me and stated, "No I do not have feelings for her," He states soothingly. "However, we handle these situations by pack law." "Sam was intentionally causing harm to a human and a fellow werewolf (You). That is against pack law. I will deal with her."

Nicolas continues, "Your magic, you need to control it! Seriously, I really believe you need to come with me to my pack."

I am still just seething and don't like to be told to do anything. My hands lift and I can see a fireball in it. I throw it to the ground, and it explodes. It was not a gigantic explosion to damage anything, however, you probably could hear it for a couple of blocks around.

After the fireball fell to the ground, I shifted into Kiki and ran further into the woods to calm down. Nicolas changes into his wolf and chases after me.

Having regained control of my temper, I return to human form and find a log nearby to sit on. Nicholas is just behind me. Nicholas sits next to me quietly. I apologize for losing my temper back there. Honestly, I am embarrassed. You should know about my dream. Alora's words in the dream made sense to me, but I do not know if it was real or not.

Nicolas, last night or earlier today, I had a dream. I was walking towards a waterfall that looked magical. There was this beautiful lady there named Alora. She told me many things.

That she is my protector and hides in the shadows.

That she had to save me from a vampire and your dad, and the King and some other person had me whisked away.

Alora left me on the curb of the humans, she stated, because they had a kind soul. She also said I was born with powers. They had to bind the powers, so William (that is the name of the Vampire) could not locate my magic and find me. They placed me in a town of humans to mask my scent.

She stated I am a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess and that I am a White Wolf meant to take down William." I put my head in my hands while tears fell onto my knees. "I didn't ask for any of this" "I just want to be a normal teenager." Nicolas rubs my back and pulls me into a hug. He states that he had felt all along I was a Royal. Nicolas lifted my chin and kissed my forehead. "Alexi, you know you can't stay here anymore, right? "That magic you just released has probably already alerted William to abnormal magic activity in a human town." Nicolas took out his hand and lifted me up with my hand. We are getting ahold of my father. We need to make plans on how to protect and continue to hide you, my Princess.

"Sire, Alexandria is having issues controlling her powers. They seem to be emotion-driven. We need to move her immediately. We will need a Vampire friendly to use the power of persuasion on human parents and in school. We could make the school believe she graduated early and is at another school on a soccer scholarship. Same with her human parents' sire." The King replies ever so sadly, "Let us get her spray from the Witches to hide her scent. Let the Redwood pack know she is coming. Only you, the Alpha, and his son will know she is my daughter. You will be her trainer and her personal guard. Thank you, Alora, you have always been my most trusted warrior."

Alora waits for Alexi to come home. Staring out Alexia's window, she sees Alexi pull up, and she gets out of the car with the Alpha's son. He heads over to the tree to climb it. I am guessing to get in this window. I opened the window for him to get in. He needs to hear what I have to say as well.

I sigh, Alpha's are aggravated and ready to fight at any moment. Besides being a fairy (peaceful and carefree), I'm also a beta wolf. My spirit lives in conflict every moment of the day. I get the warrior part, but with Alpha's they really need to tone it down a notch.
