She is Mine

Everyone ready for this?

The new arrivals with their mates, followed Xavier to the group standing by the pool. Everyone had already gotten out to dry off. Charlie seen her mate walking up with Lee an Sexton and a few women she didn't know. Charlie looked at Hayden, Devlin an Tia. 

Looks like we have company. Hayden smiled. 

Oh my Goddess! They found their mates!. Charlie said happily.

How do you know that? Tia asked. 

They are holding hands for one, but the boys smell a little different to me. When we claim our mates our hormones release a kind of scent. That's why they call it The Claiming. Our mates bite us so we will turn into a werewolf an their scents kind of mixes with ours so that other wolves know we are taken. Charlie explained just as they walked up. 

So that's what I'm looking forward too? Tia laughed. 

Looking forward to what? Xavier asked as he stepped up to Charlie an gave her a kiss. 

Oh..... Nothing, Charlie was just explaining this whole process. Tia replied. 

Who do we have here? Devlin asked. Looking at the two women. 

Everyone I would like you all to meet. Taydem and Bree. They are cousins. Taydem is Sexton's mate an Bree is Lee's mate. 

It's so nice to meet you girls! I'm Charlie.... Xavier's mate. I love your name Taydem. And you girls have the most beautiful eyes. That color is very rare. How did you both end up with it?

Well my mother's eyes were violet an her mother's were as well. I guess the color just gets passed down. Taydem answered. 

Well Taydem and Bree, meet Hayden, this is my best friend for many years.... An her fiance, Devlin... He is a vampire an he just turned Hayden as well. And this is our friend Tia... She is a vampire as well but she is about to be a hybrid tonight because she just mated to Anthony. Charlie introduced them. 

It's nice to meet everyone. Taydem spoke up again.

 Everyone talked for a few minutes and Xavier heard someone walking through the property an stopped. 

Shhhhhhhhhh! Xavier told everyone an walked at to the end of the patio. He listened for a minute then smiled. It's just Landon, Brad an Travis. Sounds like they brought company as well. Xavier laughed. 

Do you think????? Charlie asked excitedly. 

It's possible..... Everyone has been coming home with their mates the past week. Xavier said. 

Wow! I think the Goddess has been busy. Devlin laughed. 

Soon as they cleared the trees, Xavier seen that each of his wolves had a lady on their arm. He smiled an looked at everyone. 

Told ya! Goddess is getting us ready for something BIG!!! Xavier said an looked around at everyone again. 

Landon, Brad an Travis walked up with their women.

What's up Boss!!! Guess what!!!!!!!! We all found our mates tonight! Landon announced. This seems impossible! But I'm not questioning the Goddess. She does things for a reason. 

Yeah, I think we know the reason now. We are gonna talk about it now since everyone is here. The food is on grill...... But why don't you guys introduce us to your mates. Xavier smiled.

Everyone this is my mate Rylee.....  Rylee this is everyone. You will have a chance to meet everyone individually throughout the night. Landon said..As you can see ...... There is a lot of us. Hayden, Devlin and Tia are vampires. And Attica an Simone are witches. Tia, Simone and Attica will become hybrids after the change tonight. 

Well it's nice to meet all of you!!! Rylee said with enthusiasm. I hope to get to know each and every one of you throughout the night! If not...... From what I'm told.... It looks like we are all going to be family so I'm sure we have plenty of time! She laughed. 

Brad stepped closer to the pool with his mate. Everyone! I would like you to meet Alaysia..... Alaysia..... This is every one. Like Landon said... We will have plenty of time to get acquainted. 

Nice to meet everyone! I've heard a lot about you Xavier. I hear you are the Alpha. And your beautiful mate Charlie as well. Your even prettier than what they described you as Charlie. Well..... All of the women here are beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen so many beautiful women AND men in one area. She said nervously. Sorry I'm a little nervous. I talk a lot when I'm nervous. Alaysia said an looked at Brad. 

It's ok. You don't have to be nervous. We are all friends and family here. And yes, I am Alpha an this is my beautiful fiance Charlie. Xavier smiled. 

Travis smiled. They all save the best for last! Everyone meet Clark.... Clark..... Meet everyone! Travis said an pulled her in for a hug. 

Hi everyone.... It's so nice to meet y'all! Clark said with a western twang. 

I love how you talk! Where are you from? Charlie questioned. 

I was born an raised in Texas. I've lived there all my life. My mom just recently passed away an I've never known my daddy, so I thought I needed a change in scenery. Not sure why I picked Sistersville Lake, Minnesota. But I heard it was really pretty here so I thought....... Why not! Clark replied. 

I'm sorry about your Mom Clark. I know how hard that is. Hayden said sadly. 

It's ok. She's in a better place. She was suffering from Cancer. I miss her but I'm glad she isn't in pain any more. Clark said. 

Well it's nice to meet you ladies. I would like to gather everyone around the patio so I can speak to everyone at once. Xavier said looking around. 

Are we missing anyone? He asked looking through everyone. I think we are.... We are missing...Sexton, Lee, Taydem and Bree. Xavier laughed. 

Attica walked up to Xavier with Damon by her side. They went upstairs to claim their mates. It's been over a hour. Should I go get them? Attica asked. 

No..... We will give them a little while longer, I know how that is, I wouldn't want to be interupted. Xavier laughed. 

Also. I've created a tonic that will ease the pain of the change if anyone needs one tonight. I made extra just incase. Now I'm glad I did. Attica laughed. 

Well, I'm sure they will greatly appreciate that Attica. Maybe after they get done upstairs....... If anyone else needs to claim their mates..... Now would be the time. If that is okay with you since it is your house now.  Xavier asked softly. 

Oh, No problem at all. There is also the basement room as well. Attica answered. Some of them can even stay here until their houses are built if they don't want to stay in the Pack house. 

I guess one of the couple's can have the pack house the way this is going. We don't have one single man in the house now.... Every one of them has found their mates. Xavier said with astonishment. 

Seriously....... ALL of them! Damon an Attica said in unison. 

Yep... Allllllllll of them. Unless we start getting new pack members then the pack house will be up for grabs. Whoever wants it until we get more singles in the house again. Xavier laughed again. 

it's unbelievable isn't it? Charlie asked.

Yeah ..... It is.... Damon said looking around. 

Anyone seen my Beta an his mate Lily? Xavier asked. 

Yeah they are at the bar area over there. Devlin pointed. 

Okay. Sexton an Lee have 10 minutes an I'm calling them down. It's 10:00 now. We need to get this show on the road. Xavier exclaimed. 

A few minutes later Sexton an Taydem walked out of the back door with Lee an Bree right behind them. 

Hey Landon , have you guys already claimed your mates? Xavier asked. 

Yes Boss, V.I.P. Rooms at the Club's. We knew it we didn't do it now it would be another month before we could. It took a little talking them into it but we made our goals clear an they went along with it. Landon explained. It's hard to resist a bond anyway. You know how that goes. 

Yes Sir.... I do! Xavier yelled. Okay Everyone !!!! Gather around. I need to talk to everyone at once! 

Everyone came to stand in front of Xavier an Charlie and Hayden an Devlin. 

It came to our attention that we have a threat near! Hayden here is a Psychic. She has abilities to see the future! She also just converted to a vampire...... And she is pregnant! It is our goal to keep our family safe! Tia is also Psychic.... She has seen that Hayden an Devlin's baby is going to be very power and the baby can be.... the Future or she will be the cause of the Apocalypse! We must protect them from the Demon that has threatened us! He calls himself the Dark Lord! He gave her 3 days!!!! We have come up with a plan. There is only one way to kill this Demon! It takes Haydens blood injected into his heart to kill him. We are going to spell Tia to look, act, sound an smell like Hayden! She will have a needle filled with Haydens blood. When the Dark Lord goes to feed on "Hayden"... Tia will stab him with the needle into his heart an inject the blood. She will be wearing a tracker..... To locate her at all times! We will be following incase something goes wrong! If that does happen we will do everything to get her out! We will work more on this plan tomorrow but for now let's all eat an have a good time! We have a few hours before we all shift! Also any NEW shifters..... Attica has come up with a tonic to help with the pain of the change! If any new members want to have a tonic go see her right before midnight to get it! Because when the change starts you will not have time to go then. It's better to have it with you right before midnight. That's when the shifting will commence! Xavier yelled so everyone could hear. 

Great speech as always Alpha! Lily said walking up to Xavier with Derrick. I heard you were looking for us..... Whats up? 

We wanted you guys standing up here with us. Xavier said. You are my Beta! And you are his mate! So next speech... I want you guys up here with us. Hayden an Devlin are always up here with us too! Xavier said looking back an forth from Lily to Derrick. 

Ok, Sorry Alpha. We got wrapped up talking to Simone an Tyler and Kensley and Hunter. They love their new homes. Looks like we are gonna have to build a lot more huh? Derrick laughed. 

We may just have the Amish come in. The wolves are worn out an we still have the Club's to run. It's a lot cheaper to have them come in. We will have them build 5 more. We will leave the pack house for one of the couple's to choose. Landon loves the pack house so he may want to keep it. Until we get more singles wolves anyway. Xavier said running his temples. 

The Amish could have them built in a few days. My dad used them for my house. Lily said. Well, Attica's house now. But it's beautiful... And big. I've always loved that house. I love our new house better though! Well not new to you but new to me. She laughed an looked up at Derrick. He smiled at her an gave her a kiss. 

Well. I'll call them up tomorrow because everyone needs a house. No one is leaving this property unless they are going to work at the Club's or the stores. No one goes alone either. Not until this threat is neutralized. Xavier said with a serious tone. 

Yes Alpha. I'll make sure they all know. Now...... Let's Go Eat! Derrick rubbed his stomach like he was starving. 

You read my mind Beta! Xavier said an took Charlie by the hand to lead her to the food. 

An hour later Hayden stood with Devlin an Tia talking about baby names. Anthony walked over to Tia an gave her a hug from behind. ShE leaned into him an turned her head up to kiss him. 

You guys make such a cute couple. Hayden said softly. You guys just match. Like Perfectly. You both have black hair an yellow eyes. Anthony's is more golden but you guys still are a perfect match. The Goddess definitely knew what she was doing with you two. 

Thanks...... I think so too! Tia smiled. So what do you think about the name ......... Spencer..... Or Nature? Or Callie? 

Nature? That's kinda cute........ I like Spencer too...... I never knew it could be so hard coming up with a name. Hayden said smiling up at Devlin. 

I really like the name Nature. I've never heard of a little girl named Nature. I think that's why I like it. I also like the name Paisley for a girl but that is Bran's mates name. Devlin pointed out. 

So. If that's what we like then that is what we will name her. I wouldn't care if someone we know already has it. Does it matter to you? Hayden asked Devlin. It's ok if it does matter to you. We are brilliant so we will come up with another name. Hayden laughed and hugged him tightly.

I really like that name, an no it didn't really matter. We will make a list then we can pick the one we like best. How about that? Devlin leaned down an kissed her on the cheek. 

Sounds good to me. So... Tia, how do you feel about shifting in 45 minutes? Hayden said looking at the watch Devlin bought her.

Is it really only 45 minutes away? s**t, I need to go see Attica. I don't know how I feel about every bone in my body breaking.... But I guess I will find out. I'm not really nervous because I don't really feel a lot of pain as a vampire but I'm not sure if that's going to change because I will be half werewolf now. That's why I'm gonna get the tonic from Attica. I'll be right back. Tia said quickly. 

I really really like her.... I see what you seen in her. So how long did you guys date? Hayden asked. 

About 3 years. That's not a lot of time in vampire years.You will soon find out. Though I plan to spend the rest of eternity with you. Devlin said pulling her in for a kiss. 

Tia an Anthony walked back over to them. Anthony looked at Tia an winked. 

She said I could go ahead an drink this. Should I wait? Tia asked holding the little bottle up to examine it. I wonder why it's purple?o

Who knows. But if she said you could go ahead an drink it..... I would go ahead an drink it. I watched Charlie shift an it looked like death. Not trying to freak you out. But it didn't look like fun. It looked very painful. How many is shifting tonight anyway.... For the first time I mean. Hayden asked nervously.

There is me, Attica, Simone, Taydem, Bree, Clark, Alaysia, and Rylee, I believe. Kensley is already a wolf so she isn't shifting for the first time. Tia counted on her fingers. . So there is 8 of us! Wow.... I hope everyone isn't screaming. 

I think with Africa's tonic it will be okay. She was really scared so it should help. She is a very powerful witch. I think it will work. Devlin said. 

How long do we have? Tia asked nervously. 

21 minutes. Hayden replied softly. Everyone stood there in silence for a minute thinking about what was coming. Eight more people were joining the family. Eight more people to help take down the Dark Lord. Eight more people to help save Hayden an Devlin's baby. 30 people all together to their growing family. 31 counting the baby growing in Haydens womb. They were creating a Army. 

A few minutes later Xavier called everyone over to the tree line. Devlin an Hayden walked over too. They decided they were gonna run with them tonight after everyone shifted. 

Okay! Everyone! Make sure if you are taking the tonic, Go ahead an do so if you haven't already! We have 10 minutes until midnight. The Moon is full in the sky. Some of you may already be feeling it. I want you to know! Everyone here will be here to help you through this! Your mate specially! They will be your rock. Hold onto that rock until you ride this out. I do not know how the tonic will work! Attica is a very powerful witch, excuse me ...Hybrid...... she knows what she is doing! So it will help with the pain! I do know that much! I wish all of you good luck an safe shifting! May the Goddess bless you all! Xavier finished his speech an walked over to Charlie, Hayden an Devlin. 

I think Taydem is having a hard time. Charlie said looking over at Sexton an Bree trying to calm Taydem down. Xavier walked over to them an stopped in front of Taydem. 

Hey, Everything okay? Xavier asked softly. Charlie stopped beside Xavier an looked over at him. Xavier gave her a sad look. 

She is scared to drink the tonic. She won't do it an we are running out of time. Sexton said nervously. Please baby, take it or you will go through excruciating pain. Please. 

Taydem, I know I am your Alpha but I will not make you do anything you don't want to do...... But you can trust that Attica only made this to help you. She was scared of every bone in her body breaking an not being able to handle the pain. She's only trying to help. You only have a few minutes before the change starts an it will be to late to drink it. Now... If you think you can handle the pain then, don't drink it... But I will tell you the first time shifting is very uncomfortable. I really urge you to drink it while you still can. Xavier looked in her tearful eyes while he spoke. Xavier

It won't hurt me? Hayden asked crying uncontrollably. 

No dear, it will help with the pain. I Swear on my life. Xavier said.

She put the bottle up to her lips an drank. Sexton hugged her tightly. He turned to Xavier an mouthed the words Thank You. 

Xavier walked back to the tree line an turned to his pack. 

Everyone ready for this? They all yelled. YEAH! I

 Xavier an Charlie shifted. The new members all gasped like they were just now believing this was all real. Then they all started to shift. No pain, just bones bending an breaking an forming into wolves. Soon there was 28 wolves and two vampire standing there. They all turned to the trees towards the woods an ran.
