The Last Water Phoenix

Ch 16 Alexandra

She stood in her room, trying to decide what to wear. He mother walked in. mom, what should she wear? It is just a meal in his room. "I'd say smart casual," she said. She picked out a leather skirt and a long sleeve bodysuit with a floral effect on it. She looked nice.

"Can we go see him?" Cyan said. And say what no reason to go see him. He's going to think it weird just turning up at his office for no reason, especially after not speaking for a week. Her mother noticed her switch off. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Cyan wants to go see Tristan, but there is no reason until the meal. Her mom smiled. He'll think something is up her just turning up after ignoring him for a week and running away after he kissed her.

"Go see, ask him if he wants you to bring anything tonight? " Mother said.

She felt Cyan swing her feathers. Mother, you got her excites now. "Go, now," Cyan said. She felt Cyan move her body Cyan stop it. Mom was laughing. "Good luck," she said. Okay, okay, she'll go. Don't split feathers now. Cyan rolled her eyes at her.

She headed for Tristan office she was about to knock on the wall as the door was still missing when she heard him speaking to his mother about them. Someone had told Elizabeth that Tristan had kissed her. She heard him state they didn't like each other and that she wasn't his mate, and Elizabeth seemed a little judgemental,

"He doesn't like us," Cyan whined. It's okay Cyan its his loss if he doesn't. We are wonderful, my phoniex, and anyone would be lucky to have you. You are strong, firey, and beautiful. Come on, let's go back she thinks a meal is a bad idea tonight. Let's see if he really meant what he's just said.

She headed back to their suite, changed into a baggy t-shirt, and tied her hair up. some time later, she looked at her watch well, clearly meant it. She washed her makeup off and got comfortable watching a film. Then he heard a knock she answered it was Tristan he was in jeans, and a t shirt, he did look hot, but she didn't allow her face to show it.

He explained his mother to her and didn't want her pushing her nose into their business he said he did like her and wanted to get to know her better. Cyan was swishing her feathers happy. He says he would leave his door open and to let herself him the food was ready.

He walked away, and she closed her door. "What are you waiting for?" Cyan said. What dress like this? "Yes, you look hot, pull your hair down," Cyan said. She did, and she walked across the hall he had left his door open, and she could smell the food. It smelt good. She walked into the dining room. She asked if she could join him. He smiled

"Of course I would like that, " he said. Sorry for the atier but she was dressed nicely make up ect but when she heard your conversation she didn't think you would come to find her. He exhaled. "I'm sorry it wasn't anything personal was just to stop my mother. I know what she's like. If I'm to be honest with you, she wants me to find a mate gifted or chosen and give her grandchildren. I was trying to placate her a bit, "he said.

Okay, she understands it just wasn't nice to hear, but she gets it. Thank you for the apology. "I like what you have on casual is more comfortable to me," he said.

This is delicious she wouldn't have thought you'd have time to learn to cook. "Yes, well, with being second in line, I did. My grandmother taught me how to cook." he said. Your grandmother is she here? "No, she unfortunately died a few years ago. The same battle my brother died in. She was a great warrior, just not that day, " he said

She's very sorry Tristan she understands she's lost family dead and alive she gets it. "Can you explain that to me?" he asked. She stared at him. When she was 10 years old, she left our home to visit her grandparents, her mother's family, and while we were on our return back. Our beta called to tell us not to return home that vampires and their rouge wolves were attacking our pack.

Apparently, they still live they. A few weeks later, they caught up with us. Her father, a strong alpha, fought them off and killed them. We found a few weeks later that they found us again. So, every few months, we would move on from realm to realm keeping ourselves to ourselves.

"What about your other pack?" he asked.

We were going to, but after we found that they were still following us, we knew any family or friends would be in danger, and we didn't want any more blood split because of us. We haven't seen them since she was 10 years old, a long 10 years. Just mother and father until mother got pregnant, that is.

"Where is your father?" he asked.

She doesn't know, and that's the truth. He left to go see if it was safe for us to travel to the wolven realm. He told her if she had a didn't hear from him after a couple of days to leave and that he would meet us at the council estate. Trevor hasn't heard from him or this pack. She doesn't know where he is.

"Can you still feel him?" he asked.

Yes, faintly, which means he's not in the same realm as her. If he was in the wolfen realm. She'd know exactly where he was. She can't, which means he's in another realm, just which one and why?

"That a unique gift," he said.

It is a special gift from her shifter.She continued with her story. We spent the last ten years travelling around the world. It's been amazing that part, actually. "School?"

Yeah, she went sometimes but mostly home school. Mother is an English teacher she already had that degree before she was born, just put it to good use. Father taught her pack history and law. She had her degree, she could speak 5 languages she would teach everywhere she went.

"That's impressive. 5," he said

Yes, Spanish, German, Portuguese, French, and Italian she's currently learning Greek. It's a lot, but she enjoyed the different cultural lifestyles that another language brings. "I might have to use you when I open more stores. The language barrier is hard sometimes," he admitted.

Stores? "Yes, we have vehicle dealerships in all 4 realms more in the human world. He's just had a difficult French client." he said. In what way? "he hadn't met me before and made an excuse that Raven had made a mistake, so I would go visit him for a meeting. I didn't appreciate the lie," he said.

Is that why you wee at your forest house it's near the portal from France? "Yes, it was a quick trip, and all his unit went with him. Mother and father were worried I would get killed like Titus." he said.

They have to same name family traite. She has with her father too he's Alexander and she Alexandra." Yes, i like Alex, on you tho for you." Both smiled.

"I have a friend. I can have him help find your father if you want." he asked. She didn't know what to say, erm yes, that would be great without drawing too much attention "Yes he's decreat. " He said. How do you know him? he exhaled.

"That is something I need to tell you. While my father was away at the forest house, he contacted a wolfen PI named Aston to look into your family and who you are. He shouldn't have done this, but he did. I told this Aston myself and had he forward all learned only to me. I didn't trust my father would tell me the truth and try and twist information to get you and your mother, brother out of the pack," he said.

You already know everything. She was trembling

"All I know it what you just told me. Aston tracked a vampire that still lives on your homeland. They have prisoners in their sells. He was very apologetic he thought he was doing on my behalf, father lied." he said.

Did he did he tell you, "What I am?" she says, stuttering

"He told me what he suspects, but you can tell me when you are ready, Alex. l want you to trust me," he said.

She was just staring at him, and she laid back in her chair. She had no clue how to feel or say. Cyan? "I dont know he already knows but isn't admitting it. I really dont like his father he would turn us in the vampires, " Cyan said.

She wants to trust you alpha Tristan, but we can't trust yout father he would turn us into the vampires. She can't risk her mother and brother. She stood up. She's sorry but we must leave we will tomorrow. Thank you for the meal it was great and nice to get you to know you better but her family safely comes first as so should yours its too risky us staying here now your father is so angry and paranoid to let anyone in.

She started to walk away and she turned back to him. If you were told we are water Phoenix's, then it's correct. "I am," she said. She headed for the door only to find her pined to the door, and Tristan kissed her quiet passionately.
