Mine to Protect (Completed)

Chapter 29

“Sophia, Knox the Grand Council are not someone you want to fu..um, mess with.   Everyone know that even though the blood is not directly on their hands, they gave the orders to have the species I mention before eliminated.   It is a way to ensure that they remain the most powerful, taking out any threat.   They are malicious and I believe due to this packs size and potential, you are now on their radar. 

Just peachy, now we have these power hungry dictators gunning for us.  And not because of what we were.

“Vlad what would they do if they found out about me and Ella?”

“That is what worries me.   They are also the same Council that had all of the goddess’s killed centuries ago and continue to hunt them.  The Council want to hold the ultimate power and will stop and nothing to eliminate those that pose a threat.   They have left me alone this long because frankly I want nothing to do with them and they know that, I have made a point to never pose as any threat to them.”

“So what are we talking about here Vlad?   Me and Ella are being hunted by them because of the fact we are mates to the Alphas from the largest pack in the world, but once they find out about what we are, they will come at us until we are killed?   Please tell me this isn’t what you are saying because I don’t see a win-win scenario for me and Ella in all of this.”

The angrier I got the more my body temperature started to rise.   I could feel the heat pouring off of me.   Irritated I jumped up and began pacing behind the couch.  No way.  No fucking way. 

“NO.   I refuse to sign our death certificates to those power hungry bastards.   If they dare touch ONE HAIR ON MY DAUGHTERS HEAD I WILL KILL THEM ALL!”

My anger consumed me, I threw my hands up in frustration and suddenly light flashed from my fingertips, sparks shot out from them and the wingback chair in the corner ignited into flames.   As my anger grew so did the flames.   They were now spreading across the wall, curtains and shelving.  

Gasps filled the room.   But all I saw was red.   There was no way they were going to get anywhere near my daughter.   If they think for one minute…

A small hand slid into mine.   My vision cleared as I looked down and saw Ella smiling back up to me.

“It is okay momma, we will be safe, but you have to stop burning Dad’s office.  I think he kind of likes it the way it was.”

What?  Looking up…well shit, the corner of the office was on fire.   Great this is all I need.  

Well it is now or never, let’s see what I can do.  Other than set things on fire.

“Fire Stop and office return to normal.”  

Immediately the flames disappeared and the damage was instantly repaired.   In the matter of seconds it was like nothing happened.   Well that will come in handy.

Still holding on to Ella’s hand we turned to three very stunned faces.

“So, um yeah, it appears that I need to work on controlling my temper.   And hey guess what I can shoot fire and fix things.   Cool huh?”

Trying to lessen the tension in the room, I chuckled.

Noah was the first to jump up.  “I have the coolest mom EVER!   That totally rocked and I have never seen Uncle Vlad’s mouth drop open like that.   Mom what else can you do?   Fly, make things move with your mind, oh I know can you disappear like Uncle Vlad, because that would totally be cool.”

Noah rambled on and on as he came over and hugged me.   Well at least in the kid’s eyes I was cool, but when I looked at Vlad his face held a smirk, what the hell was he smiling for?  And Knox…well his face was full of concern.  He looked so worried.

“Well, it looks like we have some work to do.   Knox if you would be so kind to arrange a secure area where I can work with both Ella and Sophia to determine their abilities.   I think time is of the essence as we need to be ready for anything.   According to my sources, Alpha George will be here within the week.”

“My pack can easily take down Alpha George, I am not worried about him.   I have already increased training and patrols.   We are ready for him.”

“We are not preparing for Alpha George…between your warriors and my vampire soldiers that I brought, hell he won’t last 15 minutes so we will use him for practice.”

“I don’t understand.   If you and Knox are both not worried about Alpha George, then why the rush on training me and Ella?”

“Because once word gets out about you two, the Grand Council will send all their resources here to eliminate you both.   So before that happens, we are going to draw them here.   Once Knox becomes the Prime, they will have no choice but to show up here for the ceremony.   At that point we will have a King, a Prime and two Goddess’s on our side.   So after the coronation…we will kill them.”
