Derek I can’t believe that actually happened. I’ve been patient and have been waiting on her to be ready, for her to make the first move. I know this is a big deal for her. I’ve got a grin on my face while I change the sheets. I hope she sees a future with me. I will happily marry her and help her raise her kids. Hell, I’ll adopt them if that’s what she wants. They have grown on me and I’ve had a small protection detail watching over them. I can’t imagine something happening to them. I am lost in thought when I hear a crash downstairs and I whip my head towards the door. There is a smell I don’t recognize and it wasn’t there a second ago. It’s definitely wolves. I run out the door and down the stairs, texting Mark 911 and hear a muffled scream. Someone is attacking my mate. Nero rushes me faster down the stairs angers someone is touching what belongs to us. I reach the bottom of the stairs and see Davina whipping her head back hitting her attacker on the nose causing him to cry out

“Is Derek still here?” “No dear, he left. He is angry at himself for hurting you emotionally and thought it would be best to give you your space. Do you want me to call him?” “I want to say yes but I need to think clearly and I’m not sure I can do that with him here. I can’t explain it and I know I shouldn’t but I still love him uncle.” Uncle Gabriel smiles at me. “Wait, is everyone I know a wolf?” Uncle Gabriel gives me a grin as if I caught him in a lie. “Umm..Yes. All the staff are warrior wolves assigned originally by Derek’s father to protect you. Derek continued with the order when he took over the pack.” “The pack?” “Yes each shifter lives in packs and they all have an alpha, or leader. Derek is the leader of the wolves and became so upon his father’s death.” “So it’s really my fault Thierry died and my parents and my birth parents. It’s all my fault.” I begin crying again. I literally have the world on my shoulders. “No dear it is not your fault. Never think that.” Uncl

Davina The next few weeks pass by unbearably slow. Uncle Gabriel has been working with a guy named Dimitri on gathering everything they need for this spell to remove my seal. From what I understand, Dimitri is the leader of the witch and warlock group called a coven and he’s hundreds of years old. I continue to wait patiently and stick to my normal routine. I don’t want the girls to know yet. I finally met his mother last week and immediately we grew fond of each other. She is really nice. Derek continues to come around to hang out with me and the girls. They both really like him. He will even help them with their homework while I’m cooking dinner. He’s over again today having a iced tea party with the girls while I’m cooking. My heart warms at the scene. “Derek would you like some more tea,” asks Maliyah. “Why of course. It really is delicious,” Derek replies. “Try the cookies I made Derek,” says Malayah. My little baker. “They are also delicious Malayah,” Derek replies with a

Dimitri and the others stand evenly from each other on the outside of the circle and begin their incantation. I start to feel a tingle where my seal is at. I peer over my shoulder and I can see the seal disappear. Dimitri and the others continue their incantation. I’m assuming it’s not fully removed yet. I all of a sudden feel the worst pain I have ever felt. I thought child birth was bad but this is a hundred times worse. I drop to the ground screaming in pain. I feel like my whole body is on fire. I can see Derek through my tears and the elders have grabbed him. He’s trying to get to me. The fire continues to spread through my whole body and I continue to scream through the pain. It starts where the seal is at and is spreading through the rest of my body. I can see scales starting to appear on my arms. I must be transforming. The fire has spread down to the tips of my fingers and toes. It’s agony and feels like It is never going to end. I squeeze my eyes shut, letting out another

“I’m proud of you. I told you, you’re stronger than you know,” Derek replies. “Let’s try water next. I think it’ll be one of the harder ones for you to learn but I’d rather teach you water before fire. I think fire will be easier than water, ice or earth.” I’d hate for her to catch the field on fire and it spread because we can’t put it out. “Yeah let’s not burn down the estate. I’d hate to have to rebuild it,” says Derek. “Water it is then,” says Davina. “So once you control water, you will be able to breathe under water,” I inform her. “What? Really? That’s cool,” she replies. “Yes, you will also be able to control it like lightning. Make it go where ever you want it to and make it take any shape you want. I may teach you today to be able to pull water from tree’s and plants. This will be most helpful when you are in areas there is no water. For now I brought this jug of water for you to work with.” “Since living things have water would she be able to control a person,” as
