Chapter 18

I didn’t hold back. I told Jacie everything. She already overheard the main details anyway. She understands why I didn’t tell her, and luckily, she wasn’t mad. I love her carefree attitude. 

“When and how did this happen,” I pointed between her and Ezra. 

Jacie laughed, “We met in our first class. He’s the one I was with when you heard me in the hallway. 

“Oh geez, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t know you guys knew each other until he came here to get your clothes.”

“And I just didn’t tell you,” Ezra smirked.

I threw my pillow at him, “Now I know why it took you so long to get me an outfit, punk.”

“You’re lucky I like you both,” I smirked.

“Now that the air is clear, and our secrets are out, what did Josiah say?”

Drake’s been giving me a death stare since he got here, and he finally linked me. “Why are we talking about any of this with him here? You promised us you wouldn’t tell your mates yet, but it doesn’t seem like any of this is a surprise to him.”

“No, I promised I wouldn’t tell Dawson. Creed already knew. He followed you guys to the pond the night I lost control. I told him everything, and I’m confident we can trust him.” 

Drake nodded and cut our link. “Josiah thinks your situation might link back to the original prophecy witch. The one that ultimately created wolves with magic.

I looked at Ryker, and he just nodded, “Which means your magic is probably going to keep getting stronger until,” He looked at me before he went any further.

“Until I choose my mate, and my magic is shared.” I looked up at Creed and saw a confused look on his face.

“What do you mean shared?” Creed asked.

My head is spinning. I’m not sure how much I should tell him about this prophecy, considering he’s one of my mates. There’s also no way around it at this point.

I looked back at the boy’s but all three of them just stared at me and gave me a look that said it’s your choice what to say. Thanks for the help, guys. I rolled my eyes.

“The original prophecy is the reason I am who I am. Hundreds of years ago, witches and wolves fought horribly. They were trying to exterminate each other. 

The moon goddess blessed a very powerful witch with the power of the elements, fire, water, wind, and earth. She was also gifted two wolf mates. One of them had a pure heart and one of them was evil. 

Her magic was so strong it was too much for one person. It was meant to be shared with a wolf. She had to choose the mate with a pure heart, and once they bonded, her magic was shared with her mate. 

It was supposed to create a couple so strong that they would rule over all the wolves and witches and create a union and peace between the races.

The moon goddess always gives us the freedom of choice. It’s the whole reason we have the option to reject our mates. The more powerful you are, the harder your choices are.

Anyway, the original witch messed up. She chose the evil wolf, and after she bonded with him, he killed her. Which means he received all of her magic. There has never been a king and queen above the counsels like there was meant to be. A powerful couple to keep the peace between all supernaturals.”

I looked around the room to see if I could read Creed or Jacie’s facial expressions. Jacie looked like she was interested, but not too concerned. Creed, on the other hand, looked like he was deep in thought.

He finally turned his head and stared at me with those piercing green eyes, “I told you I didn’t trust the bear.”

“How do we know it’s the bear she can’t trust,” Ryker said as he glared at Creed.

Creed turned his head and glared back at Ryker, “Because I would never hurt her.” 

“You have already upset her at least one time that I know of.” Ryker sat up more on the bed, and you could feel the tension in the room.

“I’m an asshole and I don’t want to share my mate. That doesn’t mean that I would ever hurt her. I want to protect her. Are you challenging me?” Creed said as he stood up and crossed his arms.

“No, I’m not challenging you. I just need to make sure my sister is safe, and no one takes her choice away from her.” Ryker stared at Creed, but he stayed sitting. Smart move.

“Enough you two. We don’t even know for sure if my situation is the same as the prophecy witches. It’s just one theory.” I grabbed Creed’s arm and nudged him to sit back down.

“You said you had a book about blessed werewolves?” Drake asked.

“Yah, I was looking through it before all of you got here.” I grabbed the book off my stand and handed it to Drake.

“I want to see if there’s anything about the prophecy witch in here. Maybe there’s more to the story,” Drake said as he started flipping through the pages.

“I didn’t think of looking for it because she was a witch.”

Drake nodded as he continued to look. 

Jacie still hasn’t said anything, but she looks like she’s deep in thought. It’s weird seeing her curled up in Ezra’s arms. That’s going to take some time to get used to. I just hope Ezra isn’t playing games with her. I'll deal with him later.

“I don’t get why my mark would be connected to that prophecy. We have already defeated the Black Moon pack. Which ultimately is like correcting her mistake. The evil wolves with magic are all gone. What’s left for me to do?”

“Wait, your pack are the ones that dissolved the Black Moon Pack.”

“Yah,” I nodded to Jacie. “My pack teamed up with witches who helped in the fight. It was my parents that killed the ranked members.”

“OMG, you guys are legends in our coven. Do you have any idea how many witches your pack saved?”

“No,” I shook my head. “I was a baby and in need of saving.” I laughed.

Jacie smirked, “Let’s just say that my family is very fond of yours and would be willing to help with anything that you guys need.”

“Thank you, that’s good to know.”

“I’m gonna go to the library and see if they have any more books like this one. I want to see if we can find any more information on the blessed witch,” Drake said.

“OK, I’ll come with you,” Ryker said as he smacked Ezra on the leg, “Are you coming?”

Ezra nodded and kissed Jacie's cheek, “Do you wanna sleep with a legend tonight?”

I threw my other pillow at him, “Oh whatever, you weren’t even born when that battle happened. Get out of here.”

I linked Ryker, “I don’t know what you three are planning, but be nice to my mates.”

Their up to something, I could tell by the look on Drake’s face. I don’t know what their doing, but I know they are not going to the library. 

“No guarantees, that will depend on how your mates act.” I shook my head, oh Ryker, you’re gonna get yourself killed.
