“You started it.” Sage said, and I was stunned.
“I did not. Nathan did, with his mate sandwich.” I defended. I looked at Sage and she looked at me and we both busted into laughter again.
“Come on, we should go meet her or we will never hear the end of it.” Sage said through her laughs. She interlocked her arm with mine, pulling me outside. Her mother was waiting in the driveway with all the warriors as we came out of the house.
“Finally,” Liz breathed out.
“Sorry, I was fixing my mate sandwich. It kept falling apart.” I told her, seriously. Brandon came up beside Sage. He was outside with the warriors.
“Mate sandwich?” He asked Sage, confused, and we both started laughing again.
“Will both of you stop? You are supposed to be a Queen and a princess and you are acting like horny teenagers.” Liz scolded us.
“Nathan started it.” Sage whined, and I agreed with her. Mason, Derek, and Nathan followed behind us when we came out.
“Ashlyn, why do you look like you just crawled out of bed?” Liz asked me, just noticing what I was wearing.
“Because I did.” I told her, and she gave me a pointed look.
“I will deal with that later, but for now, I need everyone to step back. Ashlyn, come here. I want to test your magic.” Liz explained.
“Mom, what is this?” Sage asked, and even I was curious to know what she was talking about.
“Nathan told me what happened yesterday. I think I know why,” Liz answered. Sage turned to glare at Nathan.
“You told her?” She huffed.
“I thought she could help.” He defended.
“It’s fine, Sage. Can everyone step back, please?” I called out. My mates moved closer to me, unsure of what Liz was talking about.
“I’m okay, just step back.” I told them. Both of them hesitated before they moved back towards the house.
“Give me your hands”, Liz asked, and I held my hands out. She grabbed my hands, and I could feel her magic flowing into me.
“Your magic is raw, untouched, ancient. I’ve felt nothing like this before.” Liz told us.
“Okay, and what does that mean?” I asked her, worried.
“Close your eyes and repeat after me. Flos magicae.” She said. I closed my eyes and did what she asked.
“Flos magicae.” I said.
“Flos magicae.” she said louder, and I repeated it just as loud, matching hers.
“Flos magicae.” She screamed, and I screamed it out with her. I felt a wave of magic leave my body with a rush. I still had my eyes closed, so I wasn’t sure what was happening. Sage, letting out a gasp, forced me to open my eyes to see what I had just done. Everything in the front yard was now in full bloom. It was early spring, and the flowers hadn’t bloomed yet.
“How is this possible?” Sage whispered. I looked over at them and they were all looking at me, stunned.
“Baby, your eyes.”
Ashlyn
“Baby, your eyes.” Mason said in awe.
“What are you talking about? Liz, what the hell just happened?” I asked her, confused. I turned my attention back to the older witch.
“We need to go to the lake.” She said, instead of answering my questions.
“Why are we going to the lake?” I asked her, following behind her. Everyone else was following us.
“I need you to repeat what you did last night,” she said.
“Why? I don’t understand. What does this all mean?” I asked her again, but she just kept walking.
We finally made it to the lake, and I followed her on to the dock.
“Now, do what you did last night.” She turned around to face me.
“I don’t know what I did. There was pressure in my chest and I took off running. I don’t even remember hitting the water or swimming out. Just putting my head under the water and let everything out with a scream.” I explained.
“And how were you feeling before this happened?” She asked me.
“Broken.” I answered.
“Your emotions are fueling your magic, and you need to learn how to control it. It’s the only way we can win the upcoming war.” She told me.
“What war? Haven’t I done enough? I’m not fighting anymore.” I told her. The next words stopped me dead in my tracks as I was about to walk away.
“They will just come after you, you and your son, until you are both dead.”
“What the fuck are you talking about?” I growled out, turning around to face her.
“There have already been threats made on both of your lives. Don’t you want to live in peace?” She asked me and I was furious.
“Who the hell dares to threaten my son?” I yelled out. I was beyond pissed. As my fury took over, I was about to see red.
People want to threaten me, fine, but no one threatens my child. I will rip this entire world apart if anything happens to him.
“This isn’t the first time this magic has been needed. Ashlyn, you need to step up and take control or your life will come crashing down around you.” She told me.
“Did you know about the threats?” I turned and screamed at my mates.
“Babygirl, we are handling them.” Derek told me. I was trying to control my breathing. The pressure was back, and I felt like I was about to explode.
“Everyone needs to back up.” Liz called out.
“What the fuck is happening?” I gasped out, my body glowing white.
“Focus the energy, the magic on the surrounding water. Walk toward the end of the dock and throw your magic into the water.”, Liz told me, and my mind was racing and I was finding it hard to focus on anything but the pressure building in my chest.
I moved around Liz and walked until my feet hit the end of the long wooden dock. I moved my hands out in front of me, closed my eyes and focused on the movements of the water. The sun was rising in the sky and it was a beautiful, cloudless spring day.
I didn’t need to scream to focus the pressure out of my chest and into my hands. I threw my hands out and gasps behind me, pulled me from my focus. The water was out of the lake when I opened my eyes. It was still moving as if I hadn’t just moved it off the ground. I could see fish, swimming and all the algae and plants.
I gasped, losing my footing and I felt back onto the dock, landing on my ass. The water shook the ground as it came crashing down. Large waves crashed against the shoreline and onto the dock.
“That was fantastic, Ashlyn.” Liz praised me. I was looking out at the lake, too stunned to move. Derek and Mason rushed to my side, helping me to stand.
