The Witch and the Three Kings

Witch

Wyatt

Khaia looked beautiful. Every time I saw her, she took my breath away. I wasn't too happy to see her comfortable at Blood Stone Pack, comfortable enough to get high with that piece of s**t. I know, they are college friends. Still not easy to see them like that though

The whole drive to the falls I was a mix of emotions. Excited, anxious, terrified of how she would react to meeting Black. I didn't know how to explain what I was to a human, so I figured, rip the bandaid and see what happens.

I honestly didn't know what to expect in terms of reaction but her questions definitely had me on edge. She seemed a little scared, and I didn't like that, so I tried to get us to my favorite place as quick as possible. I just needed to get this over and done with so we can start our lives and I can better protect her.

I will be honest, the reaction I thought would be most likely was fear and maybe shock. Excitement, not so much. Yet, excitement is what I saw when I started to shift. Khaia was excited and then happy enough to cry when Black emerged. No fear, no shock, just love, relief and excitement.

Black was all those emotions as well. It felt like he had known our mate for a long time and was happy to be reunited, which is crazy...right.

Khaia gave us a hug and said words that left me floored.

"I've missed you, old wolf "

"What does she mean by that? How could she miss you Black?" I ask my wolf, who was at the moment too wrapped up in our mate to respond to me. He didn't even acknowledge me.

The next thing I knew my wolf shifted back into our human form, while still being in control. He's never done this before and I didn't know how to react to it.

"What the f**k are you doing?" screaming at the back of my mind at my wolf. "What is going on here, Black?".

"I need to talk to our mate, relax would you" he is giving me sass, like a she-wolf. I am so shocked, I don't even know how to put it into words. Just when I thought it couldn't get anymore shocking, Black kisses Khaia.

The kiss is passionate, hungry and full of longing. Khaia responds just a eagerly. The sensation is overwhelming and all consuming. She feels perfect and I can't help but want to take over but I don't, I just let them have their moment.

"I've missed you, my little Witch"

Did he just say WITCH?

"Yes human, I did." he sounds bored by my reaction and I am absolutely loosing it. My wolf however, doesn't seem to care. "We can't be with a witch Black, let me out" I say as I fight to to force the switch, but he's strong and keeps me locked in my mind

"You haven't told him anything, have you?" Khaia's voice penetrates through the struggle and gets my full attention. What hasn't Black told me and what does this human or witch know about us.

"He's stubborn this time little witch, and a lot is different. The death of our mother has made him very angry and unreasonable. To him, all witches are bad. I just wanted him to feel the bond first and then I'd release our memories." Black to Khaia.

I can't believe what I am hearing, he's talking about me like I am not here. So I make I self known. "Let me the f**k out, NOW! Black" I scream. "I don't know what you and that witch are keeping from me, but you will let me out or I will cast you out" that gets his attention.

"This is the very reason you don't know anything, human. All rage, no emotional or mental maturity" Black sneers back at me with such disgust and venom in his voice. "Stop acting like a wounded animal, you in the presence of a Godess, ACT LIKE IT!"

"Then maybe, you may be told what is going on" his words shake me to the core. How am I in the presence of the godess of I can't feel her. What is going on right now.

I am shoved violently back in control it makes me dizzy, "you will listen to everything mate has to say. You will be calm and act like you have some semblance of sense. If you so much as raise your voice at her just a little bit, I will lock you away for a very long time" Black commands from the back of my mind as I try to regain my bearings, "if you ever threaten to cast me out again, I'll f*****g kill you and start this s**t show all over again. Do you hear me?" there is a finality in his tone that terrifies me.

My wolf is pissed, but so am I. That being said, I take a deep breath, still myself and look at the woman in front of me.

"Ocean blues, welcome back Wyatt. I imagine you are confused and maybe...angry" Khaia speaks, there is power and authority in her voice I had not noticed before.

"You are a witch"

"I am" looking right at me, but I am shaking with anger.

"Why don't you smell like one?" the question comes through clinched teeth.

"Well, I was born of humans and witches get their scent from what they specialise in, potions, spells or both but that is not where my magic comes from. I still dabble in both, not often though" she explains, just then clothes materialise on me and I staggered back a few steps surprised.

"Your body is really distracting, sorry. I should have asked" small smile appears on her. She didn't chant a spell, didn't unleash a potion not even a flick of a wrist. The clothes came out of nowhere.

"How did you do that?" I asked, my voice betraying my shock. "I thought it" she moves back to the boulder and sits down, "I am sorry Black hasn't told you, I'm even more sorry you found out this way" she sounds a little sad.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" I need to know.

"The last time we did this, you rejected me on the spot. Left me so weak I couldn't defend myself. Our enemy took advantage of my weakness, kidnapped me, tortured me and then killed me. I figured maybe if you knew me, you might do things differently. Turns out Black had the same idea" she take a deep breath.

Nothing she just said makes sense to me. How could we have done this before? I didn't know her until a week ago and the only enemy I have are witches.

"That's where you are wrong"

Still standing on the very spot she left me, trying to make sense of all this.

"When did all this happen, Khaia? I didn't know you until a week ago" I almost yell, "And my only enemies are witches, which is what you are."

"Next time, he's the one that gets his memories right after his first shift. I can't do this s**t anymore" she's looking at the moon, more than a little frustrated, "I have known you for a better part of two thousand years Alpha King Wyatt Sullivan, and in all those lives, we have been mates. And yes, am I always a witch. May not always be born from witches, but I'm always a witch" tears begin to spill from her face and she paces back and forth a few times.

I'm stunned to silence, I don't know what to say. When I don't say anything for a while, probably looking like a deer in headlights, she breaks the silence.

Khaia walks back in front of me and puts her delicate small hand on my chest "I have loved you for two thousand years and in this life, since I was thirteen when my side of the bond snapped into place and my memories were given back to me"

"I have been waiting for this moment for nine years" there are so many emotions in those honey brown eyes, my breath stalls for a few moments.

I want to comfort her, tell her that everything is going to be ok because I am here now. I don't though, I just stand there staring at her, wondering how could I be so stupid.
