I wavered in my seat as I blinked trying to clear my vision. Dizziness overwhelmed me, I felt as if I was going to be sick. I reached out my hand to steady myself dropping the knife, before setting my hand on the blade.I hissed at the pain radiating from my hand, I could smell blood. My head began to throb. I felt my shoulders burst into flames. After a few seconds I could tell two large hands were supporting me. A whimper escaped me as the area around me spun.I felt him adjust my body onto his pulling my head to his chest. I was unable to protest, honestly, I am not sure if I even had the thought. It felt so good, he laid an arm across my chest and I gripped it as I was pulled into another memory.My brain became overloaded, I was hardly able to keep up. I tried to allow myself to remember, but it was too much. I was only able to gather one piece of information. Alexander was right, he was my other half, my mate, my oxygen. How had I lived for so long without

The next few days went by quickly. Alexander said he was going to give me a few days to try to figure things out, but he would be close by. I didn’t like the feeling that no matter what I did, someone would be hurt.I knew that someone was Kilian. I just needed to rip off the bandaid. He was such a great father; I really have no clue how he is going to process this. I decided to plan on telling him tomorrow morning.My daughters were going to be out of the house for the evening. Freya was going with Ingrid to a lock-in at the movie theater. Helga was taking her SAT’s tomorrow and staying at a friend’s house to study.Knowing Kilian would be out of the house until after midnight, I decided to go perform a ritual to attempt to contact the goddess. I am pretty sure she knows what is going on, and if she thinks it’s funny, well, it’s not.I wandered into the back yard with a blanket and some candles. I listed for Lex in human or

Kilian was looking at us like there was more to say. I softened my eyes and took a few steps towards him, closing the distance. Lex followed protectively behind me.“Our children are special. I’m not sure why. I do not know how this is going to work. I hoped it would be more difficult for you to leave our relationship in the dust.”“You will always be the light I follow and will give my life for. After seeing you with him, I don’t know how I feel yet.”“I know I should be jealous, but it is difficult when I saw the power amplified off the two of you a moment ago.” He blushed.I was blushing like a schoolgirl who was just caught by her parent in the middle of her first kiss.“I understand why she warned me, no one could resist something like that. But you are amazing Astrid and though we may not be what we once were, I do not want to live my life without you in it.”“You never

The doorbell rang as the contact info appeared on my phone screen. I grinned slightly at glad that something came up to distract me. Opening the door, I was greeted by Sylvi holding 2 cups of coffee.“Hey, I was just about to call you, I haven’t been able to get ahold of you for days. Are you okay?” I asked right away.“Of course, I was just tied up and not in a good way.” She winked at me.“Well consider me disappointed for you, what brings you by?”“That is what brings me by.”Sylvi waved her hand in a circle around my face as she spoke. She knew something was going on.“Great, I’ll take that coffee.” I said taking the cup from the tray.We both went in and settled into the couch. I was taking as long as possible to begin. She noticed I was trying to avoid the conversation.“Astrid, I feel like we are tight on time so we should get on with it. Start

“Kilian, I feel this is something that needs to come from you.” Lex said.Sylvi handed me the joint she had just lit. She had a look in her eye like she was trying to get me to relax. I took it then handed it to Kilian as he nodded at Lex.“Okay, there was a heavy conversation that took place at first.”“I told her the same thing I told you. I am not going anywhere.”“She told us some vague information about preparing for a huge influx of wolves. She told me how special you are, Astrid.”“Love, there is a reason you have affinities for all the elements.”“A war is coming, and we will be ready. All of us, together.” He stated firmly.“I don’t feel the need to get into the specifics of my personal conversation with her, it was bad enough Lex was there.” He blushed a little.I was shocked. I closed my mouth once I realized I was staring, eyes
