with Aurelia to ensure I didn't fuck up my med schedule.
My shower was long as I let the hot water comfort my body that was sore due to multiple factors - dream sex, my first time shifting on my own, lack of sleep, and then sleeping like I was in a state of hibernation.
I let my mind simmer through other stuff as well: thoughts about Roberto and if he was okay where he was getting treatment for his sudden drop in health, moments where I hoped Ruby was okay wherever she was. I questioned when it would be the right moment to seek my mother and meet Ruby's father. Clearly, we were half-sisters, but the idea of even being related to someone opened avenues within my emotions that I’d never really acknowledged.
What is it like to have a sibling? Will she think I'm weird? Entitled? A bitch? Well...I can be a bitch if I really want to, but that really isn't relevant right now.
I was intrigued with her flame abilities and her wolf that brought me to the very place I needed to be. I'd have to make finding out about Pink Moon Pack and the royal title I carried a priority, especially now with the understanding that Onyx and Neo were royals as well.
Neo was shocking, but it was pretty obvious he knew of his heritage and what underlying motives he followed to reach this point in time, but I worried about Onyx.
He was an orphan and we never tried to look into his background. I knew of his abilities, the dark shadow energy that aided him in his ability to be in one place one second and a completely different area the next.
His stalker qualities came from this power that thrummed through him, but if he was royalty, who was his true pack and why didn't they search for him?
Why did they let the prince of their kingdom get lost in a desolate place like our land and trapped in Roberto's hands? Did no one care about his disappearance? Or did they sell him to Roberto for some benefit?
Lifting my hands up, I allowed my magic to leak off my flesh, revealing my bond marks that were so damn vibrant. Their beauty was beyond words, and the fact that Mother Moon decided I deserved not one but two men that seemed to balance me entirely was something I could never gather enough words to express my gratitude for.
Drying myself with a towel, I noticed the folded clothes on the bed that was now made, and I already guessed who "sneakily" came in to help me out.
Slipping into black shorts and a pink crop top that read WOLF QUEEN on it, I ran my hands through my long locks while I admired the large mirror in the corner of the room. It took me a moment to admire my image, noticing the real difference in my physique.
Whether it was because I'd completed my first shift, or my magic had just given me a little upgrade, I looked stronger than usual. It was odd to describe as I looked into my reflection - my eyes of ocean blue now harboring a flicker of gold and pink.
It reminded me of a mix of pastel colors being painted upon a canvas, only the vivid colors were dancing within my irises. My hair was currently white again, the sight making me frown before I ran my hands through it to trigger my magic to cloak the strands in bubble-gum pink.
Surely the sign of my white locks only confirmed I was off my med schedule, and it prompted me to finish checking myself out so I could get to taking something.
My eyes paused on my upper left thigh, noticing the tattoo that was just a triangle when we'd seen it now carried a circle within the space and had some sort of design around it.
Paying attention to my subconscious, I noticed my wolf was sitting quietly near the surface, not having moved since she’d inched closer to give me comfort. I guessed it would take me a while to get used to her company, and by sitting nearer to the barrier that kept her within my mind, I'd have no choice but to acknowledge her until it was a habit.
Do you know why these tattoos are showing up?
Her gaze seemed to take a moment to look through my eyes and stare at the specific tattoos on my flesh.
"Magic incantations. They have a tribal vibe
