The Golden Wolf by Rizonne Alexander (books to read fiction TXT) 📖

a really nice neighbourhood, green grass, clean sidewalks and massive houses. We drove into her driveway and we got out. “So, you can stay in one of the top rooms. You can choose.” She said opening the door and walking into the house. “The attic is where the magic things are stored and has a much stronger veiling spell to it than the house. It will be great if you can store your stuff in there okay.” She said walking to the kitchen. “You have a really have a beautiful house.” I shouted to her from the lounge. I looked at myself in the mirror, I was growing really fast. My dress covered the baby bump that was there already and there was no way I could have stayed with Flynn. “Thank you, Emily what’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing, I was just checking out my stomach. It really grew fast.” I stated rubbing it and still looking in the mirror. “Yeah, the unfortunate case of being mystical and powerful. Babies with in a four-week span.” She said laughing. “So which room can I take?” I asked. “Any room Emily.” She replied. “Uh do I stay here as well when the baby is born?” I asked looking at her. She looked at me sighing. “Of cause Emily, where else? This is the only place that can temporally guard you during the pregnancy and the birth. But please do remember that it can depend on the ancestors as well okay. If they want to burn this fucking house down they will do it with a snap of a finger.” She said. I nodded and went upstairs to choose a room and get settled in. It was not many rooms, just four to be exact with a bathroom for each which I liked. I decided on a room that overlooked the front of the house, I’m still on guard and whatever tried to get in, I will be able to see. While I was packing in my clothes into the cupboards, I wondered how Flynn was doing. The full moon is coming up so there is a big battle awaiting him. I wonder if he got through to Lyra and if they mated, I told him that the bond will be stronger and once she mated, their wolf ancestors will accept her choices on the pack. The thought of carrying his child without him knowing hurts me, but if I tell him, what will become of him. What will become of his pack battle. Then an idea popped into my mind. “Safar, come here please.” I shouted down stairs. “I’m coming” She shouted back. She walked up into the room. “Nice choice with the room. What’s up?” she asked. “Well, I was wondering if you are able to do a protection spell on Flynn and Lyra?” I asked. “I can’t Emmy, the full moon is magic beyond mine and their lives have been written already. There is no way I can tamper with wolfs baby girl. No way. I know you mean well but it’s really impossible.” She explained. “I know that yes, I just thought because your magic is stronger.” I said. “Do you want to see him maybe? Check if his okay?” she asked. “That would be great and reassuring yes.” I said rubbing my growing belly. Safar chanted her spell into the mirror that stood against the wall and there he was. He and Lyra finally mated and bonded. I could see their bond and strength is beyond what I could ever imagine. They were at a restaurant having breakfast, they were laughing and they were happy. His dream came true, this is what he deserved and she too. They both. I didn’t realise I was crying until Safar gave me a tissue. “Are you sure you love him just as a friend Emily?” she asked. “Yes, you can even do a truth spell or whatever. It’s just, I know what he went through and he might lose Lyra and what they will built together if they found out about the child.” I said. I looked up at Safar once she ended the spell. I started to cry, I sobbed. Safar held me tight. “Now now Emmy. Everything will be alright. You have been through worse than this.” She said, “I have bastard child Safar!” I said crying. “Oh, don’t say that Emily. I’m here okay. You will get through this. Why don’t you take a long bath while I prepare supper okay?” she said hugging me one more time. Once Safar left I decided to do exactly what she said, take a bath. I took out some pyjamas and made my way towards the bathroom. I filled up the tub and got undressed. I peeped out the bathroom window, I don’t know why I did it but something just told me to check if anyone was outside. I got into the bath shaking off that quick strange feeling and soaked beneath the warm waters. Today was a really tough day, in overall the whole week already. Finding out that I had sex with Flynn, cast a spell to make us forget it, finding out I’m pregnant, getting in touch with an old friend who broke the spell on me and then lastly finding out that I’m marked for death. I how am I going to raise a child or even give birth knowing I am marked for death. I can basically die at any time. All of a sudden, I felt a surge of drowsiness. I tried sitting up and keeping my eyes open but I couldn’t, instead I slipped deeper under water. I couldn’t breathe, I felt paralysed. I slumbered into a dark place. I woke up in a house that looked so familiar, I felt my belly; okay the baby is still with me. I got up off the bed and looked around the room. It was mine! My old room! Back in the village! I scurried back onto the bed in the corner in horror. The elders broke through Safar’s magic and found me, I thought terrified. The baby put me on the radar. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming. It stopped outside the room door. I closed my eyes to not see my death at hand, to not see them. “Child?” The voice said. I slowly looked up. “Mother?” I asked. “Yes, I did not think it would work to get your spirit here.” She explained. I got up from the bed and rushed to her side. “I’m so sorry.” I said sobbing into her arms. “It’s okay Emarie, I know what happened and nobody blames you for fleeing.” She said, “It’s time to come home now.” She stated. “How can I? I am marked for death. The elders will kill me.” I said “Emarie, they were all executed years ago, we have a new coven. Everything is okay. Everything is safe. We are safe.” She explained smiling. “I don’t believe you. My bed was filled with blood, I am marked.” I said stepping away from my mother. “This is not real.” I shouted. Suddenly my mother gave out a wicked laugh and her face changed into Yuri; one of the strongest elders. I screamed in horror and suddenly things went dark around me and I gasped for air. My chest was burning and I felt as if I was dying. Suddenly I saw light and my lungs filled with air as Safar pulled me out from under the water. “redi, redi. cseca go away, taedia auferetur tenebris” Safar continued to chant, her eyes were rolled to the back and white. Blood was coming from her nose. The moment I was able to get control of my body I grabbed her by her arms and shook her. “Safar stop! Safar you are killing yourself!” I said shouting. Her body was trembling, I knew that she was fighting off the elder who got through to me. Fuck if I use magic now I will be completely exposed. She risked her life, I owe her and decided that my magic and hers could at least kick Yuri off balance. “redi, redi. cseca go away, taedia auferetur tenebris” I repeated her every word, fighting back the darkness. I drove deep into my soul pulling out my powers that I kept hidden. We both continued until I saw her body stop trembling and her heart pacing normal. The bleeding stopped and I knew that we did it. We won now but the fight was not over. I took a wet cloth, wiped her face and blood, she was under a lot of strain and her body is still weak. “sequere me leva” I said and her body lifted off the floor, and floated in the air as I led her body to rest on the bed. I put on my pyjamas and got into bed next to her. I pulled the blankets up to cover her and myself. I cradled my stomach, I cradled my baby. I did not want her or myself to sleep alone. We need each other to fight off what is coming. They know where we are and they know we are together. What Safar thought is a safe house is now a ticking bomb. She was safe before I came into her life, we both ran away. She had her own way of hiding and me as well; this all started with one night. One night that got me pregnant. I did not mean for this to happen especially to Safar. I started crying and that is when she woke up. “Please stop crying, there is nothing we can do now but fight.” She said. I looked at her and hugged her. “You’re okay!” I said. “Yes, you saved my life Emarie. Thank you baby girl.” She said sighing of relief. “We are not safe anymore.” I said “I know yes. Soon they will be here and we need to be prepared.” She said staring up at the ceiling laying on her back. I turned and laid on my back as well, “After so many years we are going to fight back. Why don’t we try and take over the coven?” I asked. “Don’t be crazy, I was thinking we head to China, to report this.” She explained. “Well that does sound like a proper plan. We should have done it years ago. Yuri really fucked me over with using my mother.” I said “Yeah I know. They know that is your weakness and used it against you, but believe me when I say that your mother is still safe and alive. They know that someday you might come back for her and that is how they would have gotten you.” she explained “I never would have gone back.” I said. “Why not?” she asked. “Because even when I was there, I felt controlled. Syber really needs a new coven before I even think of going back but now I have no choice. A fight is approaching, witches and the wolfs and there is nothing that can stop it.” I explained. “That is true yes, our magic together is strong I must admit. We just need a few more practice sessions and to lay out what spells will be used to detain the coven and especially against Yuri.” She stated. “Yeah, I thought as much. So, when do you plan on going to China?” I asked. “I was thinking in the next two days. It just gives me some time to also get a temporary manager for the store and sort my shit out. Are you going to join me? You have to, you not safe alone.” She said and asked. “I guess but I’m scared, I’m carrying a Hybrid child and walking into sacred ground can cause my death as well.” I said “Maybe, maybe not. It is a risk. Many centuries ago Hybrid child were killed. There has not been one from then
