Running away from the people hunting me seemed like an endless task, with us driving for days and only stopping to get gas or food. We did not stop long enough to eat, everything was done in the car, including diaper changes and those were gross.  Luckily, we were able to score a bigger car, a minivan to find even more space. With Damian still out of it, Dalia still weak, they both needed enough space to sleep and I needed space for all the gross diaper changes and bottle feeding. Plus, I used half of the time that Justin slept, to sleep myself. Darco and Goddard took turns driving as I used some of my energy to heal Dalia. I only allowed myself to use a little bit...  not knowing what lies ahead, it would be foolish of me to not be prepared and it has been proven that I possess a great power, probably greater than my body can hold. I constantly feel the need to use my magic more and more for the simplest things but I don't, yet I

  Today was a new day.A fresh start, a new dawn... It was all so overwhelming yet exciting. The excitement of a new world and the promise of a better tomorrow... Dalia could feel it, Darco and Goddard too. It was in Justin's baby talk and his cute giggles, in Damian's peace as he slept. His heart reaching out to me from the darkness within him, that seeks to hold him captive but he fights still. The hope in my heart for his return, fueled by this new feeling that runs in our veins and swirls in the mind constantly.  The hope instilled in us seemed to bring Dalia to her full self, her healing complete and the strength to fight for better days, returned tenfold... Well, what about me?  My power centered my pack.I was their beacon, A light at the end of the tunnel and I could feel all their emotions, sadness turned to pure joy in the realization that I

 "You did what?" I ask, my body starting to vibrate in anger. Xena was growling at Dalia now, fully awake and in no way were we going to allow Damian to be sacrificed. "Think Jeannie! Your role in this life is far greater than just a love story. You are required to help many and sometimes that will take a lot from you. Did you honestly think that in the pursuit of your full potential there would not be any casualties?" Dalia asks, with zero emotion on her face but her voice held enough annoyance at my failure to understand or allow the sacrifice to be.  "I will not allow it." I say, trying to find the energy to connect with my magic and release Damian from whatever magic that holds him but failing."If it is magic that is keeping him, then it is magic that will release him."I say and Dalia chuckles."You may speak the old language but you will not succeed here. A deal has been made already and by the looks of

There are consequences to actions taken, whether it be against someone or just normally so as one embarks on the journey called life. We are given the freedom to make choices on our own, those choices lead us to where we are today. Dalia has betrayed the little trust I had in her. I mean sure, I did not completely trust her and I kind of sensed her from the beginning but my distrust for her was never because I thought she would kill people to get her way. I thought she would use me in some way and then run off, leaving me behind to deal with the consequences alone. Only to be told that I am not her first rodeo. In fact, there are plenty here under the sacrificial land, who claim to have fallen victim to Dalia's cimes. Reginald took me in to this room, a very big room with no windows and just one door, the one we walked through just now. In this room, sits about twenty individuals, staring at me blankly.Reginald introduces me as the q

As my mate, Damian faces a lot of challenges. For starters, he has to go against everything he was taught to believe just to love me and be with me. Damian had to flee, in parting, he abdicated his throne... who knows if he will get to become alpha when he returns? With or without me.   That is why I have left him to rest so I can talk to Reginald about helping me heal the hate in his heart for our kind. The fact that we are mated, just the goddess deeming us compatible, where life could possibly argue that we aren't, says a lot and I am willing to fight as long as he is. He has an even bigger fight, the coming war aside, an internal battle is one
