Chosen for the Realm

Inside Information

KARIELLE

After Alpha Christian's bombshell, and Daxton's outburst, everyone was silent in the room while Daxton was getting a sample of his blood drawn. I can't believe what happened with Emile, I know he's having a hard time taking all of this in, knowing that he may possibly be someone else's son is gut wrenching. I was led to believe nothing but lies myself, and I'm only interested in truths from here on out, starting with this mate of mine.

"Daxton, can I talk to you outside for a moment." I ask him, waiting impatiently to get to the bottom of this. "Let's go, I think they may need a minute anyway." He replies, and I follow him outside of the hospital room, leaving Christian and Emile to themselves.

Once we shut the door behind us, I look to Daxton while tapping my foot on the floor. I don't have much patience anymore for bullshit, so he needs to get straight to the point. "Well?" I ask, not being able to take his silence much longer. He looks at me, and grins. "What the f**k is so funny? I don't think it's laughable that I'm in the dark, I've been in the dark long enough!" I snap, making his grin even wider. "I'm not smiling because it's funny, I think I like the little fireball when she comes out." He chuckles, making me crack a smile myself. Our mate already likes us Akara purrs, staring at her nails while daydreaming. You're gross I tell her, before pushing her to the back of my mind, she needs to be in timeout for giving me those dirty thoughts, it's too soon for that. She rolls her eyes at me, and I just roll mine back. "I didn't know a temper was something to be excited about. Anyways, what is all of this about?" I motion to the hospital room door, telling him in other words that I want an explanation. "It's a long story, but I'm willing to tell you all about it when we can get some time to talk. Emile may be someone I lost a long time ago." I look at him in shock at his reponse, putting the events together. "But I thought Alpha Christian said that a baby was taken and a couple killed?" I question, and he looks down and shakes his head. "That's the thing, Karielle. The baby was my brother, and those were my parents." He says sadly, looking at me intently to sense my reaction. I was silent, speechless even. "Sorry to interrupt, but Mylo called, Hera is awake." Alpha Christian says, peeking his head out of the door. "We'll finish this discussion later." I tell Daxton, before I walk back in the room, him following behind me. "What did he say? Is she okay?" I ask Christian, but he just shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know, he wouldn't say. He's been staying at Laverne's, waiting for a change in his sister's condition, that's all I know. Now, he wants you to come. he says you two are close and maybe you could get her to talk." He replies, and I nod my head. "I'm going with you." Daxton says, not giving me any room to say no with the look he's giving me. I start to feel a puddle of moisture in my panties, all with one look from him. That's embarassing I think to myself, needing to get away. "I guess we should go, then." I tell him, ready to go see Hera. Daxton and I leave the room, telling them we would be back to the packhouse as I know Emile will get released today. "When we get back, hopefully our results will be in." He says to Christian, getting a salute in reply. After leaving the hospital, Daxton and I decide to run to the white witch's house in wolf form, even though I was curious about how our wolves would react with eachother. We reach the outskirts of pack land, making our way into the beginning of the forest. "I'm gonna go behind this tree, and no peeking!" I demand, Daxton laughing at my innocence. "Don't worry, I'll cover my eyes so I can't cheat." He winks at me, and I giggle at his attempt to be funny. "Before we shift, what is your wolf's name?" I ask him, and he quickly replies "Shiro." Cute name Akara blabbers off, already back into her daydreaming state about Daxton. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, I criticize to myself Once we were both fully shifted, Shiro takes off leading the way. Akara comes up behind him, lowering her snout to his back legs, making him stumble. What was that for Shiro links, and Akara just laughs at him. Last one there is a rotten wolf She yells to him, before speeding up and right past him. Oh no you dont! Shiro shouts back before racing up right beside Akara, making our paces even with each other. We run side by side, until we reach that familiar wooden gate. I gotta shift back first, but you can look if you want to Akara smirks, which wasn't funny to me at all. Really Akara? I question her, and she just blocks me out. Stubborn wolf woman, she's worse than a sneaky human. Once shifted back, I throw my clothes back on that Akara was carrying, before walking up to Laverne's door. Of course she was expecting us, so she had the door open before I could reach it. "Hello Karielle, Come in." She says, waving to Daxton behind me to follow. As we walk in, both Hera and Mylo are sitting on Laverne's vine couch, eerily silent as they watch us stroll through the living room. "Hera! You're okay!" I shout as I run over to her to give her a hug. Goddess I missed her so much. She looks up to me with tears in her eyes, "Sit, we need to talk." She says sternly to my surprise, she sounded very flat. "Is everything alright?" I ask her, keeping my guard up. I don't know what to expect with her considering our last encounter. "Sit. There's alot we need to discuss." She says, and I oblige. "Margaret wants you dead." She relays, and I'm honestly not shocked at her demeanor, I already know that evil witch's personality. "She not only wants you dead, she wants to prevent you from getting the stone." Stone? I remember it being mentioned, but I honestly don't have a clue on what it has to do with me. "Karielle, the stone is yours. You will need it, and soon." She says in haste, making my eyes perk up at her willingness to tell me. "What do you mean I need it Hera? I don't even know who I really am, let alone anything that I would need." I say angrily. She doesn't understand what its like to go through what Ive been through. "Your parents are trying to find you, and when they do, you need to be prepared for the plan they have established for you. If not, we all will die by margarets hand. We can't let that happen." she replies. My parents? Doesn't she know I'm already trying to figure it out for myself? "Kari, you are gonna need our help. Especially that of your mate." I blush at her words, what does my mate have to do with this? He may have a part in my life, but he can't help me if I cannot even help myself. "When the clock strikes one, the mating will be done, and there she will unlock what is to come." Laverne speaks, in her riddles again, Doesn't that ever get old to this woman? "Quit with your riddles, Laverne. Can't you just come right out and say what you're thinking like a normal supernatural? Or are you enjoying the puzzles too much?!" I question her,my anger boiling at her lack of explanation. "Dear, this is not for me to figure out. I can only relay what I need. It is up to you how you take the information I provide." She replies with her sarcastic expressions. "Can't you at least tell me what that means? I don't even know what mating means for god's sake!" I snap, biting my tongue to keep myself from speaking any further, goddess knowing I have so much more to say. "I'm sure your mate could explain that part. One more thing, Kari. They're only after you for what you can provide. They don't even know for sure if there's anything to do with you, so lets keep it low profile for now. I think I should act as if I'm still under a spell while shes watching us, that'll keep her at bay for now if you're "listening" to what I tell you to do." Hera pleads, and I'm intrigued by her idea. "She can't watch here sweets, or else she would already know what I've een telling you all along. Shes not strong enough to get through my power blocker, which I'm sure she's not very fond of." Laverne speaks up, giving me an idea "if I feign hurt and like I don't know what I'm doing, but behind the scenes really figuring out what's going on with me, maybe we can stop her before it gets bad." I say, everyone nodding their heads. "I won't allow you to put yourself in danger." Daxton says clearly. "If she doesn't know the reality of what's going on, how could I possibly be in danger?" I smirk, and everyone else smiles along with me, seeming to like my idea. "If this goes south Karielle, you'll be the one we need protection from," Hera says, and it makes my blood run cold, knowing the meaning behind her words weren't anything I should play about. "If you get the stone, Karielle, the realm is yours. She's trying her best to keep that from happening." Hera relays, confusing me. "The legend has already began." She says calmly, everyone else forming goosebumps at her cold words. "Guys, we need to make a plan. Laverne, what do you suggest?"
