Chapter 86: Jazzamine

I nod my head and ask, “Do you know why this is happening to us right this minute girls?” I cross my arms over my chest as I tilt my head waiting for answer. Maya gives me what I would call a wolfy smile and wags her tail like a normal canine would. If and when they saw their owner giving them attention. Zelene shakes her head at Maya with glint in her eyes. Zelene lifts her head up and looks me dead in the eye and says something that really shocks and surprises me. “well Jazz to answer your question yes we do know why this is happening right now. But I am not sure if I should tell you based on how you just reacted.” She finishes with a slight tilt of her head.

I narrow my eyes at her, she better not hold anything back from me right now or so help me she will not like the consequences. “Zelene" I growl out. She still makes me wait and I huff at her knowing she is going to make me wait even longer. The cramping in my abdomen is getting worse and I know I don’t have much time before I am forced back to reality. With a quiet inhale I look back at Zelene and Maya, I sit down and ask softly “Can one of you please tell me what and why we’re going into heat? I don’t think I have much time left in our space.” I hate sounding weak but right now I feel it and it honestly pisses me off. But I can’t take that anger out on them when they are most likely feeling the same thing as me. But it seems they are managing it much better than me if they can joke around. With a quick glance Maya stands up and heads over to where I’m sitting and plops down next to me. She acts like a pet because she lays her head in my lap and watches Zelene. Who huffs at her and faces me again I guess she is finally answer my question? It’s getting harder to stay present for this. I feel the pull back to reality getting stronger by the second.

I watch something flicker in Zelene’s eyes as she continues to watch me. It’s really starting to worry me with how much she knows about the past and future. After what feels like an eternity she sighs before she speaks. “Jazz I was trying to explain why all of this is happening before Creed’s wolf threw a damn temper tantrum.” I snicker at that because its so true. I get the feeling that Sloan will be the over dramatic one between him and Creed. Zelene’s eyes sparkle but she keeps on talking. “What happened in my first life was tragic and unnecessary in my opinion. So, this time around the moon goddess is stepping in before the opposing side has any idea on who we are. You being in heat is the catalyst to bringing the supernatural world on their proverbial knees.” She finishes that with a slight growl. “I don’t want to bring them to their knees Z. Hell, I don’t even want anyone to know who I am or become Queen.” I tell her in complete honesty. I don’t want to be in charge of anyone but myself. It’s safer that way for everyone around. But who am I to deny fates fucked up plan?

Zelene looks at me in silent pity and I want to growl at her but keep quiet. “I know Jazz but unfortunately this is what we were born to be. We are the start and stop of the evil residing in this world. If we don’t then we will be in risk of being corrupted once again and pretty much bringing on the end of the world.” She tells me and the only thing I can think of is that she is laying it on pretty thick isn’t she. I look around our shared space and remember everyone I’ve met over the years human and shifter alike. If I don’t step in to my role then those people will be in risk of either being harmed or worse siding with the other side. She is right tho; I may not want the tittle but I feel that is why I will take it and wear it with pride. I can and will change the way the supernatural world lives and thinks.

“Your right Z.” I tell her as I struggle to stand up and face them properly. They both jump into action to help support my weight. I chuckle softly at them but its cut short by a groan. Ok I need to hurry this along because its damn near impossible to stay focused now. “We can and will step into our role. If me being in heat is what is needed to secure my role and our men then so be it. I don’t think Ill have any problem being confined to a room for a week with the guys.” I laugh at myself before I say, “who knows it might actually be exciting.” Maya guffaws at me while Zelene drops her hear muttering to herself as she shakes it back and forth.

I smile at her and go to take a step to leave our shared space and get to the good part but I’m stopped. “what the” I mutter out. Why can’t I move or leave now?  I look around and see my space getting foggy which in all honestly is creepy as hell in real life. Now to having it happening in my head is freaking worse.  Maya and Zelene are standing protective in front of me growling as their heads move on a swivel to try and catch any threat. I’m about to ask who’s out there where there is a bright flash that causes me to cover my eyes in order to not be blinded.  After a few seconds of silence and blinding white lights, I am able to finally uncover my eyes. It takes a few tries blinking away the black dots to see clearly again. Only to tense up when I see a strange woman in the middle of my garden staring at me with a smile and soft eyes. She looks familiar but I cant place it for the life of me.
