Only You

Chapter Twenty one

It is a clear night, the stars are out and the moon is showing its full shape. I walk next to Leo hand in hand, if Leo didn't tell me about rogues coming it would have been a very peaceful night, Leo is tense and keeps looking over his shoulder waiting as if the rogues are going to attack at any moment before we get this spell done.

We reach the clearing only a few hundred feet away from the house. I look around at everyone who is here, I give Leo a quick peck on the cheek, Jackson asks for my hand to lead me to the center of the circle. I step over the small lilac and lavender plants right in front of me. Lyra told me that lilac is supposed to banish the bad energy that is around us. The lavender is supposed to help calm me down during the transition. Phlox is another flower spread around the circle and the clearing it is to help join my wolf and me into one. Jackson leaves me in the center sitting on the ground sitting with my legs under me.

"Amara are you ready for this?" Lyra speaks as Jackson places several items of the werewolf history.

" I am as ready as I would be if we weren't under pressure to do this before rogues come to fight us," I speak holding my voice steady. After they place this spell on me my acceptance can take an hour to a day if my wolf and I do not agree. I really just want this to be quick so I am not a danger to anyone.

"Well, Leo and the rest I will need you to be out of the circle and near the perimeter of the clearing as the wind will blow around us and it will cause leaves and flowers to fly around the area. Also, be on the lookout for rogue wolves as Amara will be in transition and very vulnerable." Jackson looks around to the group of them.

Leo POV

I watch my mates eyes close as she lays down in the middle of the circle. I turn and give Jackson one last glare saying do not mess this up as he meets my gaze. Ezra and Harper along with Greyson and Maddie are along the border of the clearing pacing watching the open land behind us for any sign of intruders. My father is with the rest of the warriors at the pack border since I need to be here for if they get through at some point. All the women, children, and elders of the pack are in the safe room under the packhouse for this fight.

When I left earlier with Greyson we head towards my main office in the packhouse, Greyson had said something about rogues that wherewith Amara's father when we had killed him and they want revenge on what we did. This is weird behavior for rogues as they do not particularly like the hierarchy of a pack like a group, but if they are willing to follow him to the grave then they may be my guest.

I turn to look at Amara again and Lyra and her father have one hand connecting them and their outer hand sticking out towards Amara. The wind is now blowing to where I can not hear what they are chanting as leaves and small flowers are blowing around them. I look up at the moon hoping we can all get away with this and not have to much damage in the end. Everything is going to be all right I can already feel the bond between us and her wolf growing stronger as we stand here. I listen to Damien keeping my hopes high and keeping these rogues away from my mate. I can hear the rogues coming and fighting with the pack warriors in the distances as the wind starts to calm down. I turn back towards the two still standing in the circle.

" It is all done we now need to wait and keep her safe. Amara will wake at any time, it is now midnight she will have a better connection and have an easier time now accept each other." Jackson says walking out of the circle. Jackson comes to stand by me as we look outwards watching for any signs of movement. I watch and see Ezra and Harper shift to take on two rogues that go down easily with how skilled Ezra and Harper are. I see more coming through and shift and let Damien take over since he will protect Amara at all costs during this. I am ready for some fun! Let's take down some rogues, Damien howls into the air. Being an Alpha I have a larger body than a normal werewolf and I use that to my advantage with having more power behind my stride and leap over the dirty brown wolf and claw his back all the while landing squarely on my feet. It doesn't take too long before he is dead and I move onto the next wolf. I see Jackson putting flames onto wolves and burning.

Amara POV

As I shut my eyes I am opened up to the same places as when I say, my mother. The sky is the same pink and purple as it was before. I look towards the giant tree in the distance and see a figure in the distance but can not make out the shape. I walk towards it as my curiosity takes over and I want to know what it is under the tree. I see the shape move behind the tree as if it is trying to hide from me. I look up to the branch my mother sat on wondering how she is doing at the moment. The movement takes my focus as I see a White wolf with a black heart shape in between its ice-blue eyes. I hold out my hand hoping it will let me pet her like I would wit Leo's wolf.

Hello, my name is Maria and I am your wolf. I take back my hand really quickly not sure what to do since its mouth did not move. I really hope she can hear my thoughts because I am confused as ever. I knew you could talk to others through a thing called mind link but that would happen when Leo marked me and when I become Luna, I would then be able to talk to everyone.

Amara, I can hear you because we are one and that we will always be able to hear each other, that being said you can block me out at times. Once you hear a little bit more of what I have to say we can go back and be with everyone finally complete. Maria keeps talking.

Well, that sounds reasonable, I think back hopefully reaching the wolf.

We are now one and we are expected to protect the pack and the ones we love without a thought. We will also go into heat the next full moon if we are not mated to Leo and that is something you probably do not want to experience but if you are not ready Leo has some tricks up his sleeves if needed. And before you ask he was taught all this by his parents and I can start to feel a stronger connection to Damien as we sit here. Now you may pet my head if you are ready to go back, you will have to shift once we get back and it is going to be very painful.
