Stacy could feel herself waking up. Before she opened her eyes she noticed that she felt no pain. She felt a warm soft animal curled up next to her. Devany! Her eyes flew open and gazed upon a large wolf.
Devany was majestic! She was covered with thick black fur, peppered with silver locks that shimmered. Her eyes found the wolf's eyes and they were her eyes! The shade of green that she loved! "Hello there".
Stacy was in awe, but yet she wasn't overwhelmed. She looked around and the moon was so close she was sure she could touch it. The night sky was lit up with every constellation and the more she looked at one constellation the more she noticed it was moving. "Where are we?!"
Devany laughed "You silly girl, there is no name for this place. This is the realm in between sleep and awake. Essentially, we are in your head as your generation likes to say." Stacy thought about this. Things were so complicated and confusing, this experience is scientifically impossible and it was so hard to think with that damn beeping! " Can we not stop that beeping sound? It's so annoying!" Devany was really laughing hard now. "No we can't stop the beeping. That's a heart monitor. I think we are in a clinic or hospital."
Stacy took a big deep breath this was a lot to take in. Twenty-Four hours ago she was a normal high school graduate, getting ready for college, excited about a summer internship and here we are. She was a werewolf , being chased by the Unseelie, and not to mention she found the love of her life. "All right girl, I let you have your moment. Now we begin your education, don't forget we have a mind link and I know your questions before you ask"
Devany took a deep breath and began: To answer your first question, no one really knows where we came from, same with the fae. Their are no simple explanations for our existence, we just are. Some species are ancient, older than space and time itself. There are no answers to your questions regarding that subject. The next answer is, no I don't know how old I am centuries, perhaps, but you are my first human and I am learning about your world just as you are learning about mine.
Stacy kind of liked this. Her questions were answered before they finished forming and she was given time to process the answer, actually it was pretty cool. Devany nodded in approval and continued: You are a she wolf, a rare TRUE Alpha she wolf. That means that both of your biological parents were Alphas. You my dear are a genetic anomaly. I have always been with you, I've just been unaware, or if you prefer asleep. Your real parents are Alpha Edward and Luna Hazel Bloodmoon of the Bloodborne pack. Days after you were born I was forced to sleep. I do not know where your parents are. I do not know where your pack is. Devany paused this was a lot to take in and Stacy was exceptional and she was handling all this so well. Devany was proud of her human.
I now you referred Lady Lenora as your mother, obviously she isn't. Lenora is Unseelie and her mate is as well. Ah, in terms of Unseelie you might consider them in the terms of good and bad. They are bad, very bad and of course the Seelie are good. They are in their realm now recovering. Your Alpha Aura crushed many of their bones and the ringing of the bells deafened them. Think of realms as a die, you roll it and by chance you get a number one through six. All numbers are different and unique, but all are still on the die. There are many different realms but we are all connected.
The question remains on the Unseelie. I do not what their intentions are or why the hid you for 18 years. The situation is perplexing. It doesn't make sense why they essentially kidnapped you and raised you as human, yet your parents and your pack remain missing. Why did they sell you and why did they throw you an elaborate birthday party.
It was silent between the two. It was unsettling. One thing was for certain and they didn't know who they could trust. Can Stacy trust Colt? Her body began to shimmer as she thought about him. Stacy looked at Devany incredulously, What is happening?! You are thinking about your mate dear. Watch your arm. Stacy watched as a line slowly formed on her forearm and it fell so good, she watched as the line snaked down to her wrist and then the palm of her hand lit up. She sighed, it felt heavenly. It seems that your mate is thinking about you too. Do you remember the sparks you felt when you touched? Well that's what they look like. You can wake when you want so you can bond. I will be polite and turn my head, just remember his wolf is MY mate too. I expect the same level of respect.
Stacy's eyes fluttered open, she looked to her left and sighed with relief. It wasn't a dream. "Colt". She smiled weakly at him. Colt was holding her hand against his face. "I'm so glad you're awake and you're safe." He smiled warmly at her "I'll go get the doctor".
Before Stacy could think about what she was doing she held firmly onto his hand and said "Wait" she pulled him toward her and reached for his face. His eyes closed and he sighed in happiness. Stacy kept pulling him forward and their foreheads were touching. She whispered "Colt" and he opened his eyes. The ocean deep color of his eyes felt like she could swim in his arms forever. They way he looked at her as if she was the most beautiful girl in the world. She pulled him closer and whispered "Mine." And kissed him like her world was on fire and he was the ice that can soothe her. Colt growled as she parted his lips with her tongue, and he hungrily made it his mission to explore every part of her.
Colt slowly pulled away and looked into her eyes. Stacy could feel herself blush. The first kiss ended in anger the second kiss ended with love and adoration. He kissed her forehead and said " We have all the time in the world babe. Let's get the doctor" Reluctantly she let him go.
"Dev, are you there?" Stacy was searching for Devany in her head trying to feel her. "Yeah, let me clear my schedule" Stacy couldn't help but giggle "Are all wolves smartasses? "Just your favorite one"
"I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for everything. If it wasn't for you keeping me together, I would be losing my shit right now. I don't even know who I am anymore." Devany sighed " Mother Rhiannon woke me up for a reason Stace. You know exactly who you are. I will do my best to honor Mother by guiding you and helping you" Stacy smiled to herself at the exchange of nicknames. "If this is who I am now, as long as I have you and Colt by my side, I will be ok."
A gentle knock on the door and a gentleman entered the room. He was a bit older with Sandy blonde hair, and his eyes were kind. "Hi Stacy, I'm Dr. Wilson." His voice was soft and just as kind his eyes. "I'm going to do a quick check up, check your vitals, and talk about what happened. It will take about a half hour, are you ok with that?" Stacy nodded yes as she absentmindedly took Colt's hand.
Stacy sat patiently while Dr. Wilson listened to her lungs, checked her reflexes, and her vitals "Well young lady, your wolf must be extraordinarily strong. Everything looks great." Colt smiles wide and stroked her knuckles with his thumb. "So you know, you were grazed by an arrowhead of quicksilver. You were lucky that it didn't penetrate your skin, only a small laceration and it's already healed. All your scrapes have healed nicely. I'm impressed." Stacy nodded and asked "Is it normal to heal this fast?"
Dr.Wilson looked her with surprise and confusion. "Um, yeah but not this fast. It seems that your wolf can heal you faster than average." He paused and asked Stacy "Has your wolf never healed you before?". Stacy tensed. She felt as if she asked a wrong question. Confidence was never a strong suit for Stacy and now it wavered. Stacy squeezed Colt's hand and thought "I don't know how much to say. I don't know if I can trust him."
Suddenly she felt embarrassed, shy, nervous, and maybe insecure. She looked at Colt and he was smiling a goofy grin with shock on his face and adoration in his eyes.
"I heard you"
