Lycan’s Mate

Awakening

I sip my tea as a I recall the incident of the previous night to my mom, leaving as much detail as I could of course.

“So a guy that you’ve never met before shared a vision with you?”

“Correct.”

“This sounds more like dream walking but you weren’t sleeping?”

“Nope, I wasn’t. Although I did feel a lot of heat yesterday.”

Immediately I say that mom gets a look on her face that shows she knows something but won’t say

“Okay mom spill, and no excuses.”

She sighs.

“I should’ve knows this would happen, this close to your twentieth birthday.”

“Lyra, what do you know about your myths.”

“About as much as you’ve told me, werewolves, vampires, witches..”

“Not witches, seers, they don’t like the term witches.”

“Cool, anyway seers,daemons,sirens and elves.”

“And what do you know about them.”

“I know they are powerful beings but I also know that they don’t exist”

“Lyra I think it’s time you know who you truly are.”

I stare at her like she’s grown a third eye, is there something my mom is hiding from me? The very mother that can’t keep a secret, now that shocked me and made me pay so much attention because this had to be serious.

“Okay then, tell me mom, what do I need to know.”

“A Long time ago , there was a kingdom in the mystical lands that lived in harmony with one another and magick flowed through the lands, while having good relationships with neighboring kingdoms and life was good for a long while. Until one ruler got power hungry and tilted to the dark side he wanted to control magick and it’s source and we had to come together, all the kingdoms including your dad to make a strong stand against evil But a war ensued between them, a war that would go on for so long that it would finally kill your dad.”

“ I thought you said dad died in a plane crash.”

My mom leaves the sofa and comes to sit besides me.

“ sweetie, I had to lie to protect you, the less you knew the safer you were, but then everyday you grow stronger that even you can hide your powers anymore. You know how you ‘sense’ things that will happen those are one of the gifts you got from me. And how you can run faster than everyone in your class, or how you can perfectly see in the dark, or how you can hear me talk from the kitchen. You got all those from your dad.”

I stare at my mom again, she’s not making sense to me , I mean yes I’m athletic and a little bit psychic and I have impeccable hearing, but what does this have to do with anything.

“Mom, you already explained that me being able to ‘sense’ is from wearing my opal necklace a lot”

I chuckle a bit to lighten the mood, but then that didn’t work so I continue.

“and I’m also just generally good at sport and I get my good hearing from my dad”

“Lyra, it’s more than that, a whole lot more, but just calm down and listen.”

She doesn’t expect me to be just calm does she? I feel like she’s about to flip my whole world upside down and she wants me to be calm?

“Okay mom, I’m good.”

“ okay, Lyra, I’m a Seer, yes a Seer and your dad is a werewolf and so that makes you a hybrid a very powerful one, descended from great blood lines.”

What wait? Werewolf? Seer? All the myths? My dad is a werewolf?

“Wait, wait , wait , wait, so dad is a werewolf?”

“Yes.”

“And you are a Seer?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, that makes perfect sense” I laugh very loudly.

My mom grabs me by my shoulder and jerks me to look at her, her green eyes seem to have a little bit more hue, I blink twice and I stare again and then I realize that her eyes are freaking glowing, bright green, bright freaking green.

“Lyra, do you believe me now?”

I look at her still, my brain is trying to figure out how her eyes are making light on their own. Wait is she wearing contacts?

“Where’d you get your contacts? Cause they are really good, like so good I could buy it for the upcoming Halloween.”

“Honey,I’m a seer and that’s how my eyes are in my true form, look at my finger nails and see.”

I look down at my shoulder and see her nails have elongated and her fingers are black.

“Holy s**t mom, what the actual f**k!”

I push her hands off me and get up, I look back at my shoulder and notice that there weren’t any black stains.

“Mom, please tell me you aren’t f*****g with me right now!”

“Honey calm down, look at me, rein your emotions in and don’t let it get the best of you.”

I stare at her and try to calm my breathing down. There’s no need for my mom to lie to me at least not right now, and to keep this big of a secret it had to be important and for my own safety, so I head back to the sofa and sit down.

“Lyra, I had to hide who I am, who your dad was, where we are from and all that.”

And I nod while trying to make a sense of what she’s saying.

She just stares back at me biding her time and checking my emotions. I nod at her to continue.

“ I’m from the kingdom of EPHEMER, a kingdom filled with seers and druids blending together in harmony practicing ‘rein magick’ which is technically pure magic or white magic,blending and moving in perfect harmony infusing and mixing chi and chakra that balances the world out,that is until the daemons found magick but bad magick, they found Böse magick and they reined it in to use it for their evil deeds, the world as we knew it would be in for terrible things if we didn’t do anything about it

We quickly sent word to the elves and nymphs that lived in the kingdom of Anderé about the new situation. The elves had a bit of the gift of sight, they were always one with nature and always ahead with technology.

Our queen Calliope also tried to contact the king of the lycans, seeing as they are part wolf and daemon, we wanted to know what side they were on. King Lucien chose to fight with us to battle the enemy.

And a war that looked bleak, brightened up a bit,

I found my mate, king Lucien.”

I gasped just a little bit and she let out a light laugh.

“Dad was a king?”

“Yes, and that makes you a princess and his heir.”

“Woah, that’s a lot, like a lot to take in mom.”

“I know sweetie, just calm down and pay attention,okay?”

“ okay.”

“It definitely was love at first site, and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Lucien was definitely blessed with all the good attributes of being a lycan he had chocolate colored hair that he always packed in a bun,hazel eyes, well tanned and very muscular. He was a big contrast to my dark curly hair, my brown skin and green eyes. But it wasn’t just his looks, your father was kind and very loving, he was very interactive to his people always paying attention to their needs and mine also, he didn’t really have time on his hands because of his duties and the brimming war, but he tried his best to spend time with me.

And so when the war was close so close you could feel the tension in the air, every seer came together and created a magic stronghold surrounding Druid mountain, where all the seers, druids, nymphs ,lycans where going to make their last stand.

At midnight seers,druids and elves gathered to have a meeting concerning the daemons that were marching onward and were getting closer by the day. And the upirs decided to side with the daemons.Because of the gift of sight we could see that the war was not in our favor, but we were going to stand guard to protect our kingdom no matter the outcome.

The druids made potions that enhanced abilities and shared it around,the elves made durable swords and armor and my people were holding the strong hold together.

The enemy had finally arrived, the war was brutal, their magick was stronger than any I had ever seen, the speed of the upirs were unmatched there was blood shed everywhere I looked and most of the deaths during the war, was from our side. The daemons seeked to control our magick and they wanted it all.

King Lucien, your father went one on one with the daemon king, Damon Alastair was a hybrid something we didn’t know he was half daemon half lycan it was something he hid quite well especially with the help of a rogue seer Serena. She was the queen’s sister and the biggest betrayer of all time but then Damon was her mate.

And with the help of Bosë magick infused into ravenwood, the only thing known to kill a lycan, Damon stabbed Lucien in the heart.

I felt the mate bond sever, the most painful thing I’ve ever felt in my life, we also lost our queen and our kingdoms and it’s magick fell into the hands of daemons and the upirs.

The elves fled, and left us at their mercy. With the last bit of our magick to teleport to the mortal realm, because we couldn’t bear to stay in a kingdom that all we ever knew has been taken away from us, and so we ran and we never returned.

She sighs as she finishes, and she stares at me and I feel her hurt, her pain, regret and anger.

“You miss dad, don’t you?”

“Everyday Lyra, every second and every minute. You are all I have left from him.”

“Damn mom, that’s a lot to take in. So you just ran from Damon and also how did you have me?”

“We had no more fight left in us Damon had won already, he killed two of our leaders, we had nothing left. Also I found out I was pregnant with you two months after the war, and god was I happy, happy that I wasn’t going to be alone in this new world.”

“I’m so so sorry mom, that you went through all that alone, through all the hurt. But then what happened that my powers are dimmed down, subdued, like I haven’t even changed to my lycan form once.”

“That’s because I gave you a potion that keeps your powers locked away until your mate finds you, which I thought wouldn’t ever happen seeing as we are not in Ephemera.”

“But can you reverse the magick of the potion?”

“Yes I can, with the right material that is.”

Sounds good to me, I get on my feet and stretch my hands out to my mom.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go”

She stares at me, takes my hand and get up.

“ Lyra I’m so happy you now know, I feel like a burden has been lifted off my back.”

“Yes, and I don’t know why, but what you just said seemed right deep in me and made a lot of sense to me.”

“Now follow me dear, it’s time for your awakening.”
