Chapter 51
Chapter 51
I stood in my closet looking for something suitable for dancing but also for dinner. I couldn’t find what I
was looking for that blended
both together. Everything was either too formal, business, or rxed. There was no happy medium and
it annoyed me. I just decided to
dress in a business attire, that was appropriate for a Royal to wear during a dinner party. I will just have
toe up and change clothes
after dinner I guess.
Dinner went by smoothly as everyone ate and made small talk. ns were finalized on when we would
be moving. News came that
Dexter had blown up the house of Everests cousin, Jeremy’s, up in smoke and set the surrounding
building on fire. Jeremy was left
seething in anger as he lost every possession he had. The only few things he didnt lose, was what he
brought with him here.
“I am so very sorry Jeremy. But we will and can rebuild, I promise you that.” I sat back in my seat and
felt him calm down some. I knew it was hard for him to do.
“Thank you Avalynn. I know it is just the fact that we all worked so hard on that ce. I am just d we
are all safe in the end. We can
rece the material things.”
Everest looked over an nodded “We will be rebuilding anything that he destroys cousin. I promise you
and everyone here that we will
rebuild.”
“Thank you, cousin. I really appreciate you.” Jeremy had a tight smile.
“So when do we leave again?” Brent asked.
“Tuesday at dawn. We will stop midway which should be just outside your pack Jeremy. From there we
will split into our two groups.
We will go around one way as King Brent and his mate, Miranda, wille in the opposite way.”
Everest told everyone at the table. “We will have them surrounded on all sides.”
“Okay, sounds reasonable to me. I just wanted to make sure so everyone is ready. Combat training the
next two days in wolf form?”
King Brent asked.
“Yes, you are correct. We will need to teach them as much as we can. We will also need to retouch on
basics with them all.” Everest
told him.
Brent leaned backnand took a sip of his wine and made an agreeable sound before speaking “Very
good then.”
“Miranda and myself will be working together on strengthening my ability to tap into stubborn minds.
She is going to use her magic
to hide Amber and ire’s mind and I have to work to connect them to mine.”
Miranda nodded “It isn’t going to be easy to work around witches magic, but I am going to show her
how to do it quickly. If she can
break through my magic, she will be able to enter any mind with ease from here on out.”
“But it will be worth it in the end. It’ll open up ess to everyone’s mind, like Sarah. I can read her only
sometimes. A lot of the time she has shut me outpletely.” After dinner I went upstairs and changed
into a ck dress that hit at my knees, ck heels, and pulled my hair up in a high ponytail. I looked at
myself and nodded in approval. I felt good and I looked hot! This will defly do!
I walked down stairs and ran into Miranda.
“I am so happy yall areing with us.” I told her.
“Me too. I don’t think we will be out toote, the training is going to be mentally exhausting tomorrow
and I will need my rest.”
Miranda told me as we stepped onto the elevator.
“That is a good point. Dance a little, have a nice drink, then back home to sleep.” I agreed with her.
Trying to break through tough
minds to read their thoughts while in my human form was going to be difficult. We stood in a
comfortable silence as the humming and
beeping from the floors were the only thing that was heard.
I wondered how Charlotte was able to tap into people’s minds easily.
“Thats because it’s harder to hide our thoughts from one another. We are all connected to the Moon
Goddess.” Charlotte told me.
Okay that makes sense.
The night was a good release of pent up nervous energy. We invited several members out with us and
a good amount showed up. We
danced with our mates and had a few drinks before heading home.
When I got home I washed my face and took off my make up. I changed into my pajamas and climbed
into bed. Everest was in the
shower and as much as I fought the sleep to wait for him, I fell asleep. I didn’t even feel him get into the
bed.
I woke the next morning anxious and excited. It wasbat training with Charlotte first this morning.
Then thus afternoon I would
be linking up with Miranda and the girls. We were going to work on getting into others minds better.
I got dressed, ate a protein packed breakfast, and went to training. Training was a breeze and
Charlotte was an absolute Rockstar.
She seriously had some amazing skills. We have our shifting down, ready to fight in less than a
second. I was doing so well they moved
from two lycans fighting me to three and threw in a wolf for fun.
It was difficult, especially when they all rushed me but I got the higher ground and when I snapped at
the wolf, stopping at his fur line
he was ruled dead. I moved between the three lycans. I watched as they circled me and one lunged
unexpectedly from behind. Charlotte
kicked, using the force to theunch herself forward and took out another lycan in the process. She
turned to the only one left and they
crashed into one another; biting, wing, and rolling in the dirt. Charlotte held nothing back and
stopped at the fur line with a snap. She
won and had gathered a decent crowd around her. There was pping and our eyes found Everest. He
was wearing a proud smile and
nodded his head.
“You’re ready, officially, with yourbat with multiples. We are proud of you both. Now go ahead and
go work with Miranda. She is
waiting for you on the outside yard of the garden.” Everest linked us.
I shifted back into my human form and made my way to the garden. I walked along the pathway that
weaved in and out of different flowers. It smelled absolutely wonderful out here. When I came to the
end of it I saw Miranda doing her thing. I watched as Miranda was
practicing her magic with a few volunteers, she was talented.
She held them up in the sky and moving them about. It was weird because I could see the magic she
was pouring out from her body. It was like rope that formed like asso around the bodies of the wolves
she held in the air. She was speaking to them calmly, because
any other tone they would be freaking out.
“I can do this to multiples, I can create a force field bubble around all three of you like this..” She waved
her hand through the air as a golden bubble drifted around and then formed around each one in the air.
It was sort of beautiful to look at and witness really.
“Now if someone was to do anything at all to any of you, that bubble around you will protect you. It
would not matter if they could

throw fire, it would protect you.” I heard her tell them. I watched as she eased them back to the ground
and the wolves who volunteered
to help were all smiles.
“That is amazing, Miranda.” I walked over to her. “Your tethers of magic are beautiful too.”
“What? You could see them?” She looked at me confused.
“Well yeah.. Can’t everyone?” I frowned a bit.
“No, they can’t. It just appears like normal air to everyone. It’s invisible to non magic eyes.” She looked
at me up and down.
“Are you sure you don’t have any magical abilities other than reading minds?” She questioned.
“I mean no? My birth parents were murdered? I don’t know a whole lot about them or my past,
honestly.” My hand went to my locket
around my neck and i sighed.
“Someone down your lineage may have a magical witch connection. You may possess a power you
have yet to realize you even
have.” She told me. “Can I see your locket 7”
“Of course.” I took the connecting sp off and ced the locket in her hand,
“This is very beautiful and very old.” She smiled at me,
I watched as she opened the locket and she frowned. “I wish I was home so I could know this for
certain. But I am sure your mother
was?rg my my mother, somehow, some way.”
“What? Really?” i was confusrd, I swore my mother was a lycan,
Okay that makes sense.

I watched as she opened the locket and she frowned. “I wish I was home so I could know this for
certain. But I am sure your mother
was rted my my mother, somehow, some way.”
“What? Really?” I was confused, I swore my mother was a lycan.
“Yeah, I don’t have many pictures left from the fire but I am sure your mother was my mother’s sister or
cousin. They look a lot alike
but I never met her and the photos don’t have names of who everyone is on them.” She handed me the
locket back to me.
I ced the ne back around my neck “So you’re saying we could be cousins?”
She nodded her head “We would have topare the photos one day but it could be a possibility that
we are cousins. I am about
eighty percent sure that is the same woman in a photo with my mother when she was in herte teens
early twenties.”
“That is insane.” I looked at her with a frown. “There is a lot to uncover here for sure. We will have to do
some digging. I am not from
the North so maybe the South has more information than the North.” I shrugged.
“Maybe,” She also shrugged.
When I thought about it, for a moment, it kind of made sense. Why I could go into people’s minds and
read their thoughts and see
their actions before they acted them out. It was only a second but it was just enough time to anticipate
the moves from my
opponents.
“Well I guess we should get the show on the road.” I told her.
She nodded her head “Yes,e over here.” She walked over to a nket and two pillows sitting
across from one another.
I walked with her and she sat on a pillow and motioned for me to have a seat and I done as she
motioned for me to do.
She inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.
I moved around and made myselffortable ”So, what are we doing first?”
“First we are going to meditate and center our mind and body. To do this we will breathe evenly and
rx. Close your eyes, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly.” She told me.”
I did as she told me and soon I felt more rxed than I have in a very long time. The soft breeze kissed
my skin as it blew. Even though imabouy an hour went by, it felt as if only a few minutes went by when
she caught my attention.
“There. Now look at me.” I looked at her and she had a glow about her. I looked at my hands and they
had the same glow, not as
vibrant as Miranda’s but still a small glow…
I heard ire and Amber walking through the garden, on their way here.
“See if you can hear their thoughts.” Miranda said.
I closed my eyes to concentrate and find my center. I felt the connection link to them as I dug into their
minds. I reached ire first
as I entered into her mind and private thoughts.
“I wonder what Miranda will do to block my thoughts? Will it effect all my connections? Will be able to
communicate through my
link with Josh? Oh well he knows what we are up to and where we are.”
;
Amber’s thoughts also drifted into my mind; “Oh. These flowers are beautiful. Azaleas. How beautiful.
Oh. That would be a perfect
name for our pup if it’s a girl!”
What!? I cut the link and looked at Miranda who had a confused look on her face. “You’ll see in just a
moment.”
They both exited the garden and made their way down to Miranda and me. I stood and walked over to
Amber and gave her a huge
hue, “Does he know?”
“He who and know what?” She frowned, obviously confused.
“Jameson. Does he know about the baby?” I smiled.
“Baby?!” ire and Miranda said at the same time,
“How do you.. Never mind that would of been a dumb question. No he doesn’t just found out this
morning.” Amberughed.
I turned to look at Miranda “Is this sale for her to do?”
“It is Nothing will happen or put her or the baby in harms way,” Miranda said. “But if she is not
comfortable with it, I can always get one of the other volunteers from earlier to help,”
“No, no, it is fine. If you say it is safe then I trust your judgment.” Amber reassured us all.
Oh! Congrattions by the way!” I hureed Amber again before letting her go. “Okay then let’s get to
work.” I told everyone.
Miranda began with mixing a drink, like an herbal tea that strengthens the mind. It helps shield you
from, what she said witches call
people like me, mind seekers. She walked the circle doing a chant and slowly I saw the tethers of her
magic reach out to them both.
The tethers both shined and sparkled and had a different color. “Wow.” I said softly and saw the
confused looks on ire and
Amber’s face. I didn’t pay it any mind. “ire, Amber pick any color in the world and think on it hard.
Practically scream it in your own
mind. Avalynn, tell me those colors. You both let me know if she’s right.”
I knew the tether was not strong enough as I heard them both scream the colors in their mind. “Purple!”
“Navy!”
“Purple for ire, navy for Amber.” I told Miranda and she side nced at them both as they nodded
their heads.
“You’re stronger than the average mind seeker, that’s very good. Your Lycans abilities have probably
moved to your human
capabilities.” Miranda said as she continued to wrap them with her magic. It was now like a silver
nket or wall. That wall was connected
to the tethers that linked them to Miranda.
“Hmm.” I mumbled and saw a smile form on Miranda’s mouth. She knew what I knew and suddenly
both Amber and ire’s
thoughts vanished.
“I can not hear them any more.” I told all of them.
“Good. Now let us y a game. Well it is not a game for you but something you must do.” Miranda
looked dead serious.
“Okay, what is it?” I asked and felt my nerves begin to creep up.
“Let us say that they are in danger. A type of danger that if you don’t tap through that wall Amber’s
precious life will be no longer.”
Her facial expression was nk and I could see she was serious. “But in order to get to Amber’s
thoughts you must open ire’s thoughts first.”
“Miranda you said it was safe!” I felt panic rise in me.
“It is, as long as youplete the mission. Time starts now.” She started the watch on her phone.
I closed my eyes and dug deep. If I looked at Amber I may just panic even more. What am I going to
do? s**t!
Then Miranda started coaching me. “It will be easier for you. You can make your own tethers. Picture it
as a vibrant color and reach
out to them. Connect with their mind, their soul.”
Well, that made some sense. If I had a magical background I would be able to make a direct link to
them and so that is what I
did.
My tether was lime green as it stretched out to ire first. I pushed myself to open the spell Miranda
had cast. After only a few
minutes I was able to break down that wall Miranda put up and was able to hear ire. I pushed the
tether to Amber. Her wall was
stronger but it only took a little under a minute to reach her mind.
Miranda pped her hands together and the spell she had around them disappeared. “They were
never in danger. I just wanted to
give you motivation to work quickly. I am sorry.” She apologized to me, “I didn’t know she was pregnant
but I did get together with them
earlier today to let them know I was going to fake put their lives in danger. I had to be able to sell it to
you, because the enemy won’t be faking you, it will be very real.” She sighed.
I let out a long breath that I hadn’t realized I was holding in and felt mentally drained. “Oh thank the
Goddess above because I was so afraid I would of failed. Oh s**t, damn.” I paced around where we
were.
“Sorry Avalynn ” Amber said.
“Yeah sorry. We just wanted you to be pushed to your limit.” ire also apologized.
“You guys, it is fine. I just, I am d that I was able to do it.” I told them.
“You did very well. Again apologies.” Miranda said.
I could see why she wanted me to rx my mind and center myself, because I now wanted to take a
nap. Well, eat some food then
take a nap. We all left the garden and went back inside and did just that.
I slept night to dinner and only woke up because Everest came to the room and found me by ident.
Apparently when they came to
look for us and didn’t see any of us all of our mates panicked. They sent search parties out into the
woods and never once thought to
check our own bedrooms.
The spell took a lot out on all four of us. It was mentally draining and left me exhausted. To have to fight
against witches magic, she told me on our walk back inside, is harder than reaching a blocked mind.
That wasforting to know atleast.
Everest scooped me up in my arms and kissed my face and all over.
“Thank the Moon Goddess you are okay! We all thought you were all taken!”
“Oh we were just exhausted from our training session with Miranda. It was a lot and took a lot out on
me. I was working against her
magic.” I smiled at him as my stomach growled.
“Did it go well?” He asked.
“Oh it did. It was difficult but I did it, quickly too once I got through the first block.” I told him and he
smiled at me. My stomach growled again and I gave a small smile.
“It also apparently has made me ravenous. ‘We had a snack and everything before I came up here to
nap.” I let out a smallugh. Dang, I was really hungry. So hungry that I could devour an entire horse or
two.
“Come on. Get up and lets get dressed. Dinner will be ready shortly.” He ced a kiss upon my
forehead and got off the bed.
