False Prophecy

The Best Made Plans

Zyanna

I woke up better rested than I had anticipated. I agreed with my mom’s thoughts on breaking the bond early. There was also another idea I wanted to talk to them about as I headed for breakfast. Mom was making crêpes for breakfast, one of my favorites. Really, I loved food, so it was all delicious and amazing. My thick curves showed my love of food and I didn’t mind one single bit.

“Happy Birthday my beautiful girl. How did you sleep honey?” My mom asked. Since my Birthday was at midnight we always celebrated the morning instead of the following day

“Thank you mom. I slept better than I expected, which is good. I thought about your suggestions, and I want to get this rejection over with as soon as possible. I was wondering though what would you and dad think about us all moving over to The Guardians Pack to be with Grams? It’s been so long since our pack was destroyed that I think it will be safe now. It would be nice to be in a pack more accepting and where we would not have to hide who we truly are." I had my little speech prepared for this.

“It really is a good idea. Let me consult with Grams. See what we come up with and I will talk to your Dad. Are you still headed over to the Guardian Moon Pack to see your Hot Beta Crush before he leaves for training?” Mom asked all nonchalantly like she was not trying to embarrass me even though that was usually her goal.

“Seriously!” My face flamed red “He thinks I’m a child first of all, and second…….. I’m sure there is a second thing when I think about it”, I huffed. Mom just laughed, kissed the top of my head and handed me breakfast just as Dad walked in.

"Happy Birthday Baby Girl." He said kissing the top of my head and ruffling my curls. We had an amazing birthday breakfast together as was our tradition. I love my parents so much, they are both great.

After breakfast, I jumped in my truck heading out with Sophie. I love my truck. It’s a lifted 1988 Square Body Ford F350 full of power and all of my own modifications. I know I have to jump to get into it, but it's so worth it! Sophie on the other hand, does not think jumping to get into a vehicle is a good idea. It wasn’t a real long drive to The Guardians Pack, but there was a small lake between the two packs so we had to go around it and up the mountain to get there when driving in a vehicle. I loved this drive. It felt peaceful heading into the mountains. Our pack was in the flat forest which also had its own kind of beauty. I really hope my parents agree to move. I will lean on the broken mate bond if that’s what it takes to get the Alpha to agree, although he doesn’t seem to care about much lately, since he is close to retirement. He is also one of those Alphas who thinks Omegas are worthless, so I doubt he will think twice about breaking the pack link. We could always go rogue, but it's better to willingly break a link before moving to a new pack. Once we arrived, I dropped off a machine I’ve been working on with Jamison, then Sophie and I headed over for our lessons for the day. Today was one of the history lessons, and then we were going to be working with the Yarrow Root I gathered. Some lessons are practical, and some are historical, but Master Wayne is about 250 years old (not an exaggeration), so we respect him and his methods of teaching even when it's boring. We’ve been through a lot of practical applications; some of this is to prepare us for our university classes. I am taking Mechanics, Herbology and Warrior training while Sophie is focusing on Natural Medicine and Nursing. We get to be housed together, so that is going to be great. After our lessons, Sophie headed to her cousin’s house and I went in search of Grams. She lives higher in the mountains, away from most of the pack, being a practicing witch she likes solitude. I found her outside tending to her garden of potted plants all over the front of her small brick house which looked like utter chaos, but I found it so beautiful and serene. “Hello my wonderful Grams!” I said as I approached. I doubt it was needed as I’m sure she already sensed me coming.

“Hello my little one. I talked to your mom today. The cards and the readings are all still undecided, which means anything could happen. Lots of moving parts, it seems, right now with fate. We do agree that a move would be beneficial, and I would love to have you all here in the pack finally." Grams gets right to the point and I love that about her.

“I’m so excited! I hope everything goes smoothly with the Alpha, and we can move this week” I said practically jumping up and down with excitement at this point.

“It will, I do not foresee any trouble with a move at this time,” Grams said as she patted my cheeks and smiled. As always, I’m sure she knows more than she is saying.

After visiting with Grams I left to go kick some Beta butt! I arrived at the training field in my sports top and leggings and started stretching. Since I cannot shift and am short, I have had to learn to improvise and modify the moves that Nikolai has been teaching me. He has been amazing in helping with all the changes I needed to make for my height and not being a shifter. I turn to see him standing there watching me.

“Good morning little sunshine,” he says. I can’t quite decipher his facial expression today, but holy s.hit did he get bigger this week? I swear his shoulders and chest look bigger, not to mention his thick tattooed muscled arms, dang focus on something else I tell myself to try and stop staring at him. Mom was right about my crush on him, but seriously, who would not with how hot this guy is?

Alright, five miles. Warm up, and then we will run through everything you have learned so far”. He said “How are you feeling about starting your classes and Elite Warrior Training now that it is close”, He asked as we took off running at a decent pace. His legs were a lot longer than mine, but he didn't let up on me, and made me work for everything I gained in training.

“I’m excited about it and glad I was accepted into a shifter school which allowed me to test out of any unnecessary classes like basic Mechanics”, I laughed. "I am most concerned about the Elite Warrior training since it will be the most work for me. Are you ready for leadership training? I mean, we all know you could use some more finesse in your leadership. Maybe work off that soft middle you are getting” I laughed poking at his hard abs.

He reached down and ran a hand over his perfect abs “Watch it Sunshine or you’ll be over my knee before you know what hit you” He growled and took off after me. I shrieked and ran faster, which would ultimately do me no good with how freaky fast he was. Wait a minute, did he just imply he wanted to spank me? What the hell and dear goddess, yes, please! Focus and think of something else I scolded myself. He probably meant throwing me over his knee to the ground or some movement with training and here I am making it all oh so dirty. All shifter species tend to be very s****l and mate young but the closer I got to turning 18 the more in the gutter my mind went. My birthday was at midnight tonight. We were going to the beach at the lake to celebrate. Maybe a good distraction is what I need from my raging teenage hormones.
