Chapter Seventeen
Reminiscing was fun, and all these childhood memories had me nostalgic for the care-free days of my youth. In a few short hours I would be officially eighteen.
High school was a distant memory having graduated early. I still trained with the local werecats here in California, until the school year was done. In a few short days we wold all be making the permanent move to Egypt.
On my eighteenth birthday many things would take place. I would take over the Pride as Alpha, I would be crowned Princes Katalea, and as the werecat world had not had a princess in thousands of years, it would be quite a celebration. I would also be eligible to find my mate. This thought excited me and terrified me at the same time.
We would celebrate at home here in typical human fashion. Music, food, friends, and more food. Many of the kids from the high school actually had become decent people in the last year and all were invite
Sariya ChatonWhat are your thoughts? Do you think they will be mates? Katalea will be officially 18 in just a few hours..... Let’s take a poll....

Packing up a life is hard work. I had piles for donation, piles for storage and piles to send to Egypt. Most of the things going to Egypt were weapons. Now, I understood the need for a private plane! How in the world did one ship countless weapons commercially without bringing in law enforcement and their myriad of questions. I made one last trip to the gym where I had spent my youth. I wanted to give my old leotards away to someone who could use them. Walking in the front door brought waves of memories. Countless hours of my younger years had been in this building. Soaring high days when everything just clicked, lonely low days where nothing I could do was right. Pulled muscles and overworked joints could not compare with the feeling of perfection when you hit a spectacular routine and stuck the landing. I saw Coach, a little olde

When we finally arrive in Egypt, Maggie is there to meet the plane. I didn’t know I could love another like I love Maggie. It is so good to see her, we hug forever before noticing we are the last ones on the tarmac. After the long flight we all piled into different cars and vans sent by Grandfather. Maggie and I rode together in the first car. Dalya was probably jealous about that too, I couldn’t keep up with her emotions. When we finally pulled up to the ferry I noticed the long line of cars waiting to be searched before entering. To the left I could see the walk-on customers in a single file line that snaked around the Ferry Master’s office. It looked as if everyone had some sort of ID they had to show before they were searched. I wondered what they could be searching for.

“No more, I just can’t.” I whimpered. I had been trying on dress after dress, approving fabrics and style. How many outfits does a princess need after all? I had seen silks, satins, linens, and lace, what I had not come across was good old denim. My days clad in jeans and a t-shirt appeared to be at an end. The room was cleared and a delicious smell wafted in….Grandmother in her infinite wisdom had called in a caterer. Scrumptious grilled tuna over a bed of asparagus, a milky cream sauce and a mixture of tropical fruit. I gorged myself on the tuna to the p

Taken!” I felt panic in my chest. “Taken where? By whom?” Dakari was one of my best friends, how could this have happened here on the island. Maybe he was just off in town, chasing some girl. I dismissed this thought as ludicrous. It was not in Dakari’s shy nature to seek entertainment from the local girls. He was content to wait for his mate and spent his time studying his craft and training. “He was supposed to be home hours ago. We were having some trouble at the ferry dock and he went across to lend a hand.” Mr. Toma explained.

I took the police report back to my room. By the time the sun started showing signs of life over the horizon I was very familiar with the case. I knew I wouldn’t be able to leave the island, but I wanted to show support to those who would. I grabbed a light sweater and headed to the docks. As I approached the soldiers all dropped to one knee. “Please rise.” I said, “It is I that come to honor you this day. Be tireless, and bring Dakari home!” Everyone cheered, the mood was confident. As the ferry departed and became a speck on the water, I wa

The grin on Maggie’s face matched the crazed one on Daniel’s friend. He looked like he had just been hit over the head with a hammer, and liked it. As he started to make his way towards her the others started to clue in. “Not another mate bond?” Abe spoke in disgust. “She doesn’t even know his name.” Daniel spoke for the first time, “This is my best mate, Geoff.” Geoff muttered hello to all of us, but never let his gaze leave Maggie. They were only separated

Fear swept among our ranks. My people needed a competent leader, and I wasn’t sure I was up to the task. How I wish my Grandfather would swoop in and take over. No, that wasn’t true. If I ever wanted to earn respect from my Pride, it would be in times of crisis. I just needed to channel my inner feline strength. It was time for Kaya, my panther, to make herself known. If the goddesses felt I was born to be a leader it was time I called on them for help. I need to remember what Grandfather always said, “Just do what comes next.” I took a deep breath and steadied myself. “Ok, we need to speed up our time table. There is no need to wait till just after midnight. Let’s get all the players here in under an hour. Bring the shapeshifters, someone find Dalya,

By six the war room was crowded and loud. Last minute encouragements were given and the plan was gone over again. Dinner was pizza and sandwiches, but most lay untouched as the focus was on the rescue mission. By eight everyone knew the plan down to the last detail and helicopters could be heard landing in the training yard. It was time to load up. Farsi had many trained pilots in his squad of elite soldiers and three had been selected based on their knowledge of the area. Helicopters had been secured on the mainland and rented for the evening. This solved the problem of how to get out of dragon territory with speed and stealth.
