Forlorn

Chapter 2

       Aiyana where are you? Alaster's thoughts flooded my head as I came back into my body. My heart hurt. It seems like I did more damage than good.
       Alaster?! I let my voice slip into our mind link.
       Yana?! Thank goodness that your okay! Where are you?!
       I can't tell you Ali. I just wanted to tell you that I'm okay. I only ran to protect you all.
       What do you mean? Alaster's thoughts became confused.
       Remember the battle I had with Roric?
       Yes?! What about it?
       Well before any of my mates came and helped, Roric threatened to harm them and the pack. I ran hoping he would follow me and leave you guys alone. But it seems like I did more harm than good. My voice cracked as my sadness broke through. It's killing me to be away from you guys but what else could I do? I didn't need anyone dying because of me. I was lucky enough to bring you back.
         Alaster was quiet for a bit which worried me. I hoped that he wasn't going to report me.
         So that's the reason why you left?!
         Why else would I? I always put you guys before myself when it comes to big things like this. I ran to protect not because I'm a cold hearted bitch who doesn't care about anyone else. I couldn't handle losing any of you by my hands or fate. This Roric will kill to get what he wants. Remember?
        I see what you're saying but why didn't you trust us more?
        I thought the less you knew, the less you would be targeted. I love you guys and I would do anything to protect you. Please tell everyone I'm okay?
        Okay.
        Thank...
        Suddenly I was shaken. I blinked once and found the male Fae hovering over me again. I sighed aggravatedly. I leaned on my hand and stared at him.
        "Can I help you?"
        "What's with the spooky eyes then the shiny eyes?"
        "Spooky eyes?"
        "Yes they were pure white."
        "Oh. I was away from my body." I explained. "And the shiny stuff is called Moonshine. I was communicating with someone which you so rudely interrupted."
        "Moonshine? Communicating?" His brows furrowed as he scratched his head.
        "The shiny stuff you saw covering my eyes was called moonshine. It helps people know when a werewolf is communicating with someone else. Communicating is like talking." I explained it in more detail, hoping that he at least understood that.
        "Oh okay." The male Fae nodded and started to hover around me again.
        "If you don't stop hovering, I'm getting the flyswatter." I mumbled irritatedly.
        "Well look who's being haunted by a fairy?" A familiar voice echoed through my room. A smile crept onto my face as I looked to the balcony and see my grandfather.
        "Az!" I shouted as I flew out of my bed and into his open arms. His embrace was tight, like he almost lost me. "It's so good to see you."
         "It's good to see you too." He whispered in my ear. He slowly let go of me and looked me straight in the eye. "Why did you leave without telling anybody where you were going?"
         "Like I just said to Alaster! The less you know, the less you'll be targeted for Roric's sick game." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Is that a problem?"
         "Not when you word it like that." Azrael smiled.
         Suddenly my bedroom door swung open and Ryu came running in. He hid in front of me and stared at the door. I could hear footsteps approaching my room.
          "Ryu! Come out at once! You have Royal duties to attend to." Brutus shouted from the hallway. Seconds later, he appeared at the doorway. "Ryu! Leave poor Aiyana alone."
          "No." He whined and grabbed ahold of my waist. I looked down at him and he gave me a puppy dog face. "Please let me stay?"
        "What do you have to do today?" I asked Ryu.
        "Nothing important." He muttered.
        "He has to look over peace treaties." Brutus said annoyed.
        "Peace treaties with whom?" I asked.
        "Local werewolf packs." Brutus complied. With that, I grabbed Ryu by the collar of his shirt and ripped him off of me. He looked hurt.
        "Go and get these treaties done. The quicker you get it done, the quicker you get to spend time with me. But that doesn't mean neglect them either, you need to listen." I scolded him. Ryu smiled and furiously nodded his head. Only after that he noticed the male Fae and my grandfather.
        "What's with the Fae?" He asked.
        "That's the one I supposedly of made a contract with."
        "What's the contract?"
        "He doesn't even know. So he's going to be by my side until he does, I guess." I sighed.
        "How come he gets to and I don't?!" Ryu growled.
        "I don't have a choice!" I shouted back. I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Is there anything else?"
        "Who's that guy?" He pointed to my grandfather, who looked a little pissed for my liking.
        "Ryu I want you to meet my grandfather!"
        "Which one? Vlad or Azrael?"
        "Look at his back." I pointed to Azrael's wings. Ryu's face instantly paled and he got to his knees and bowed.
        "I'm so, so sorry." He apologized to Azrael.
        "It's okay. You better go do those treaties."
        "Yes sir." He bowed again and then disappeared from my room. Brutus smiled and came in to give me a hug.
        "Thank you Aiyana. Tonight I'll make you something special." He placed his hands on my shoulders. "Okay?"
        "Yes please." I smiled. He patted my head and then started to walk out, only to notice my sketchbook laying out in the open. He stopped and took a look at it.
        "What's this?" He said as he flipped through the book. "These are quiet impressive."
        "Thank you Brutus. It's for the Book of mates for the Werewolves so far. I need to make other books but I need to know how the other species find their mates first."
        "Well maybe I'll mention this at the meeting. They might be interested in this. Do you mind if I bring this along?"
        "Not at all. I'm doing this to help people find their mates. If they agree, I'd happily put them in as well."
         "Thank you Aiyana. I'll protect this with my life and tell you how this turns out." He smiled and waved before he disappeared from my sight. I sighed and sat down on my bed. Today was seriously draining me.
       "So what was that about?" Azrael motioned to where Ryu and Brutus was.
       "They are the dragons that are letting me stay here. Ryu is the King and Brutus is his Councilmen. As for why Ryu is all clingy, it's because I'm his mate. I don't know how to confirm it because all my heritages found their mate. And supposively I'm his mate as well." I pointed to the male Fae. "What is your name anyways?"
        "Sen." The male Fae smiled. Well at least I have a name now!
        "So yeah, that's what it's about." I stated to Azrael as I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling. I felt my bed dip and my eyes glance to my right. Azrael sat beside me, looking at me with worry.
         "So you have to more mates?" He asked.
         "I guess so, though I have no way to prove it. Can you tell me how when everyone has one?" He knew I meant my heritages.
         "I don't know." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Maybe they do feel something and not telling you. Werewolves are known for more than one mate than most species."
         "Well if it is her, she and two others won't talk to me because I ran away. So they are leaving me in the dark, all because they are having hissy fits." I grumbled and folded my arms across my chest.
         "You are having an internal war?" Azrael asked.
         "I guess you can say that." I sighed. "Well I'll find out one way or another."
                               ****
         Azrael stayed for another hour with me before he had to leave. He did promise to keep my location a secret but he would tell everyone that I was okay. Sometime after that I must have fallen asleep because I awoke to someone sitting on the bed. Groggily, I wiped my eyes and tried to focus on who was on the bed. Before I could see who it was they wrapped their arms around me, making their scent the only thing I could smell. Peaches flooded my senses and strangely it made me want to sleep more. Yawning, I snuggled into whoever's chest and fell back asleep.
        I ended up in the dark room again and a light casted over all my heritages. Latifah and Alvine raced up and hugged me tightly. Dangelo smiled at me as he hugged all three of us. The sour pusses were over in a corner facing it, not even glancing in my direction. Figures. I spent some time with them before something startled me awake.
         I sat up quickly and looked around, it was just after the sunset. I wonder how Ryu did at the peace treaties? Suddenly Sen's face went in front of mine.
         "Well look who's finally awake." Sen smirked. His brown hair glistened in what was left of the moonlight. His unique silver eyes stared at my figure.
         "Hi Sen." I said while wiping my eyes again. I moved myself to the side of the bed and tried to place my feet on the cold floor but I managed after three times. Standing up, I stretched my arms and immediately got light headed. "Oops there goes my blood pressure." I wobbled a bit and I immediately leaned on something but this something was soft and warm. I slowly looked up to see a smiling Sen.
         "I figured you needed my help." He held me up. "Let's get you something to eat."
         "It's not going to be another drugged apple is it?"
         "Drugged apple?" Sen's brows furrowed.
         "That weird tasting apple. Didn't taste like an apple that I know of."
         "Oh that! No it's not going to be that. Also it wasn't drugged it was just soaked in Fae nectar." Sen walked me down to the dinning room.
         "Fae nectar? What's that?"
         "A secret!" He smiled tauntingly. He gently placed me in my usual seat. It was weird that I was the first one here. "I'll go find Brutus." He flew away, leaving me by myself to my thoughts. I played with my fork while I waited. When playing with it got boring, I moved my hand and it slowly rose into the air. It moved up and down and turned in different directions. My telekinesis spell was working well.
        "I'm back!" Ryu shouted as he bursted into the room, making me lose my concentration on the fork. It clattered itself on the table
         "I can see that." I said as I returned the fork to its proper place. "How'd the peace treaties go?"
         "Okay I guess. At least there isn't going to be wars anytime soon." He smiled as he sat down in his chair across from me.
         "That mean that they were signed." I shook my head. "At least no one will get hurt in war."
         "Where is this person named Aiyana?" I heard a masculine voice from the door.

**We finally have a name of the male Fae. Hooray! So now Aiyana has two more mates along with her six, I wonder how she is going to find out how she has the two as well. And I wonder what Sen is going to make the contract be? I also wonder who this person asking for Aiyana is?
