32. Tell Me More
“Can I ask about your moon chase?” Sybil once more asked questions. They had paused for a moment to get down and stretch. Now they were moving again. “There wasn’t much written and I only got a few minutes with Tika and Aubury yesterday to ask.” Aries brought his attention back to her. He’d drifted off in thoughts for a moment. Oddly he felt this excitement he beat down. She was just asking to know, not participate. He would not get his hopes up like that.
“What do you wish to know?” He glanced down at her. She was looking about and lifted her hood up as she seemed a bit cold. He was fine. His thicker clothes and coat sufficient for him at the moment.
“Tell me how it is done, the significance to it or parts of it.” To him there was no longer a reason to minimize what he was telling her. The

Sybil felt like the next few days were a whirlwind of activity. The entire keep was a buzz, for her it felt a lot like a very prominent holiday. She had been working up in the greenhouse area. Really puzzling out how she was going to work on this barrier. She had a great many ideas but so far nothing solid. She had also put some things in motion to test. This was going to take time. It wasn’t like she could whip something together quickly and be done with it. This was dragon’s fire, very potent earth magic. She needed to be very certain and careful.Sybil closed the book that she had and let out a rather strong breath. She looked toward the main greenhouse and thought that perhaps she could go and see if they needed help. Or maybe Tika and Isha who were helping make some of the traditional wear Aries had told her about. The excited air in the place was starting to affect Sybil, but in a g
Mate of an Alpha Prime 34. Observing the Moon Goddess
Sybil and her father David were sitting up in the section of greenhouse that she was tending too. Many plants were turning more lively colors. Sybil had been working on the means to get through the barrier. David had been helping her tend to some of the plants. She invited him here to spend time with him and to talk to him. Sybil was a bit sad that over the past couple days she really had not seen Aries much at all. She understood though, while their border close to the keep was secure, areas farther down the mountain were suffering. He was out right now checking the protection one more time before the festivities started. Aries was very thorough that was for sure, a good thing for him to be. His people were lucky to have him as their Prime in her opinion. “So, I don’t get to walk you down the aisle then?” David said as they were sitting on the wall there by the Ancestry tree. Sybil smiled a bit, they had
Mate of an Alpha Prime 35. Dance of the Moon Chase
“You seem like you are avoiding the festivities.” Daral said as Aries walked down the hall with him. He’d been in and out quite a bit. He was letting his people rotate in and out of the festivities until the chase truly started. Aries shrugged. There was a lot of danger, he almost told everyone no. However they had managed to get the upper hand in the fighting the other day and pushed the demons back. Velex was getting more aggressive and Aries had a feeling this was just a distraction for whatever he was really doing.“Perhaps a little, but there is a lot to watch.” Aries had done his vigail like the rest. Giving a moment of respect and connection with their goddess. He felt good having a name this time, but a pain at not being able to do anything about it. That light presence oddly seemed more for a moment in his own head at one point. Like it was searching for somethi
Mate of an Alpha Prime 36. Yes, Aries
Sybil watched from above the part that was a dance, as they called it. It was symbolic and beautiful to her. How the mates circled each other and then moved through the unmated. It was symbolic of their mating process and society. Knowing who was yours and moving through the obstacles to get them. Those that might stand in your way, those that might need you to show them. At least that was what Sybil saw and then how fast they could all move as they spread out into the woods. Her gaze though watched Aries down below. Her eyes tracked him as he moved back into the keep. Sybil let out a slow breath and knew that now was a good time. She had not seen him much of the night at all. Honestly she thought he was being kind of distant. She did enjoy the festivities, the food and drink but she'd also been watching for him. He’d spoken to her via mind a couple times when she asked him where he was. She also fi
Mate of an Alpha Prime 37. The Pleasure of Bonding
Sybil felt this lightness in her chest and an odd joy. Maybe it was strange to see an adult woman running as she was. Whether it was inside or outside. However this wilder hidden part was the one that needed it. Enjoyed this free feeling as she ran. As she felt the one pursuing her and that he was getting closer. It was wonderful to have all your cares and worries stripped away for the moment.Coming to a rather slender portion of wall that had a hole in it, Sybil slid through. She turned feeling the brush of fingertips on her back. He sure was fast, and she didn’t say anything, just felt a slight laugh that she could not control and continued on through the room. She barely fit through that section of wall and he would not. He didn’t stop to say anything either, he was just gone. Sybil took off and ran going down a flight of stairs. This part she was not familiar with but she ran and sto
Mate of an Alpha Prime 38. One Step Ahead
Velex looked at the burning town from a distance. There was no smile on his face at the destruction. It had not gone the way that he wanted at all. The wolves had shown and added support to this place that had been fighting him hard. That extra edge had stopped them from taking the town and having a foot hold down below Aries and his keep. The fires were being put out and none of his demons or creatures were close to the town or a few others. This uptick in aggression and response by the wolves was a problem.Very obviously Jorogumo was dead for sure now. Her influence and infection of the keep had been flushed out. He’d been managing to get closer and closer to the mountains and the people that lived here. Now suddenly they were growing stronger again and it was a very serious problem for him. Once more it felt like he was hitting a wall rather than slowly creeping up on the enemy. Not only that but
Mate of an Alpha Prime 39. Learning Each Other
“Wait, wait, wait!” Sybil nearly spilled the liquids she was working with as she sprinted around the table. Niba jumped at Sybil’s intense shout. Omniel also jumped from where she was helping with some of the gardening in here. She was more observing and a few others were also either observing or helping. Several men and women that were good at earth magic. Then a few others like Omniel. However today Sybil was trying to devote her time to working on getting through the barrier.“What?” Niba asked, alarmed as she was about to test what Sybil gave her.“Not on the barrier!” Sybil had asked Niba and a couple others to help her set up a very small scale barrier. It was not true dragon fire but close enough. It was on a stone table here in the garden only about a foot tall but had a heat barrier there. She neede

“I feel it most at quiet moments like this. I guess I’m not sure how I should feel or even be waiting for.” Sybil admitted to Aries when he asked about her wolf. If she was aware of it, or the change. He only knew what others told him. He had changed others, those that were mates but he still didn’t know what it was like to be born without this part and have it develop later.“You know it’s not so much a separate entity.” Aries tried to think of how to explain it. It seemed that most had an issue once they were close to the change. It felt like something else took control of your body and the mind would fight it. She needed to be prepared for that. It could be hard on your mind. There were those that had said in the past it really wasn’t bad at all for them. He hoped it was that way for Sybil.“What do
