Enchantress

Chapter 16

I sprinted towards the door. As I opened it Viv's face came into clear view and she had Nathan in tow. “We need to get moving,” she said to Malachi brushing past hugging me she walked by. “Everyone grab your bags and gather in front of the mirror. Mom is everything locked up? Matti is all the cars moved into the garage? Does everyone have everything? We don’t know how long it will be before were able to get back.” I grabbed my bags and headed to the mirror as instructed. As soon as we were all gathered mom and dad started chanting, waving their hands in front of the mirror and suddenly they grabbed their bags and stepped through the mirror. We all began following suit two by two. Dom grabbed my right hand. I slung my book bag over my shoulder and grabbed my duffle bag with my left hand. Dom grabbed his duffle bags with his right hand and we stepped through the mirror and stepped through on the other side putting our feet on luscious green grass. After we were all through Malachi closed the portal we came through behind us. “Shall we?” my mother said motioning towards a huge estate scrawled out in front of us. The house was huge with a wrought iron fence atleast 12 foot tall that ran around the edge of the property that was surrounded by nothing but woods. The house was vast and was more like a mansion. It had a brick exterior with hundreds of windows. A younger man wearing a Tshirt and Jean’s answered the door barefoot. “Luna and Leryc.” He said to my parents and gave them a curt nod as they walked through the door ahead of us. Once we were all inside he closed the door behind us. “There are plenty of rooms available. Let’s get settled in and then we’ll meet back up in the library on an hour to strategize. Taryn, could you come with me please?” My mother said motioning for me to join her. I slid around Dom releasing his hand after giving it a quick squeeze.

I took my mother's hand as she led me up a grand stair case. It branched of the left and right as we made it to the first platform. We rounded to the left and were led off to a hallway on the left side of the house. We walked along the hallway on the soundless wood flooring not speaking a word. At the end of the hallway my mother pushed the double French doors open to reveal a beautifully elegant room. On the right was a beautiful 4 post canopy bed with a night stand and lamp on each side. A beautiful bench seat where the window sill was. Off to the left were two doors and centered in between them was a beautiful well lit vanity. I walked towards the first door. Inside of it was an all white adjoining nursery. By the looks of it I was going to be here far longer than I had planned for. It had a crib in the center of the room, a changing table to my left, a chest of drawers and a book shelf stocked with books to my right. There was a rocking chair at the other end of the room from me right next to the window. It was open and absolutely stunning.

“This was your nursery when you were younger.” My mother said, stepping into the room behind me. “I know you have a ton of questions for me but let me give you a history lesson and then you can ask me all the questions I didn't answer. Come sit with me.” She took my hand and led me to the bench seat. She took a seat and I sat next to her. She took my hand and turned toward the window. She stared out at the small garden off to the left. “Many years ago you're great grandparents created this space in time. They built this house and worked these lands all with their magic. They created it inside a mirror so that only they could enter this space. They placed wards but the wards are so old they are beginning to fail. We’re here to replace the wards once that’s done you’ll be completely safe as long as no one breaks through the wards. Until then we must be on guard. The likeliness of them finding you here is slim but because you're carrying an enchantress they can use magic to scry for her. The sooner the wards are in place the better. This house and the mirror were in have been passed down through the generations. Your father and I came here when we got married. This was Malachi's nursery and then yours. We returned back to the world when you were both young to raise you as humans without the magical world. We knew this day would come one day for both you and Malachi. Malachi came into his powers on his eighteenth birthday. You were a late bloomer so to say. I’ve seen subtle changes but no magic until tonight. I sensed it in the kitchen when you were in the living room. It’s an extra special gift of mine so to say. It’s probably the pregnancy hormones pushing your magic's limits but we’ll go over that later. We never said anything because we didn’t know if you were ever going to come into your powers so why not let you live a normal life. We sent you to college hoping for a normal life for you. Then you met Matti and Dom and we new things were going to change eventually. We just weren’t prepared for this. A baby. An Enchantress. It’s just magical.” She purred. I could hear the excitement in her voice. “Do you have questions?”

My head was swimming. Questions? “Who was the guy that answered the door?” I asked. “That's Draven. He's a werewolf and he is the grounds guard. We provide him and his brother Drake a comfortable life here in exchange for their protection. They live in the guest house at the back of the property.” Mom said nonchalantly. I thought again. “I'm sorry I wasn’t the one to tell you I was pregnant.” She looked at me and smiled, “ I couldn’t be happier for you my dear and I’m so excited to be a grandmother.” Dom appeared in the door way. “They are ready for you downstairs in the library.” Mom turned to me and took my hands in hers. “You should unpack and rest. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Dom will draw you a bath.” She got up and made her way out the door. Dom disappeared into a door over by the bed that I had completely missed. I walked into the huge adjoining bathroom.

He drew me a bath in a claw foot bathtub just like we had at home. He turned to me, “We should get you undressed,” he said with a devilish grin on his face. I knew my checks were blushing among other parts of my body. He helped me lift my shirt over my head and he unwrapped my bra with a flip of his fingers. I tilted my head up to kiss him. He returned my kiss with passion and heat, pushing past my lips with his tongue deepening the kiss. He pulled my body to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands were gripping my ass cheeks over top of my Jean’s. He reached his hand down the front of my pants resting his finger on my bean. He began to rub it slowly in a circular motion.

He covered his mouth with my lips so I couldn’t moan. I shifted slightly and his junk pressed up against my leg. I ran my hand up and down his arousal. He unhooked the button on my jeans and in one swift motion took my Jean’s and my underwear off at the same time. He pulled his shirt over his head and swooped me up so I was straddling him. He carried me over to the counter top of the sink and I unbuttoned his pants. He pulled his shaft out and eased it into me as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He took each bud of my n*****s into his mouth. Caressing and swirling it with his tongue. His hips rocked in and out of me picking up the pace. I moaned in delight as he hit the right spot that sent me spiraling into a tizzy. I was coming all over his d**k and the thought of that had me even more excited. He let out a groan letting me know he had come too.

He kissed me deep and longingly. “I love you Taryn and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and our daughter.” I looked deep into his eyes and seen not one ounce of doubt in them. “I love you too.” He picked me up and carried me to the tub placing me down in the warm water. “You rest. I’m going to go unpack for you.” Without another word he left the room leaving me with just my thoughts.
