11. Saved or Taken

     Like how he got Aurora to bow to him in the woods and the alpha aura I felt exuding from him. I know he’s behind her silence. Or how he was in both our dreams. Reign's was different it felt more foreboding. I know she said he was angry but I felt like that anger was out of protecting me. What’s it matter it was just a dream right? What’s eating at me the most is this angel thing. The mythology article Anubis a dog faced God and Azrael the angel of death what if they was the same being. That would make Azrael part dog, but what if he’s more than just a dog something stronger Like a wolf or a Lycian for that matter. Put that with Reigns book that would make Azrael a Lycian maybe the first even more the the point the Angel of Death. He would have power over Lycian’s over souls and demons maybe even silks. At the moment a light clicked on in my head, control over Aurora, the silks, the burning, how he was on the spirit plan when I first seen him. He’s Azrael the first Lycian The Angel of Death, and I think my mate.

     When I finally came back from thoughts I was back by the hemlock forest behind my apartment building. I didn’t even realize I ended up here I just stared at the entrance of the woods. It was almost dark the sun barely visible through the trees had I really walked an entire day. Where do I go from here I knew the answer I just didn’t want to admit it. I had to find him but I didn’t know how so I did the only thing I could do and headed into the woods where I last saw him this was the only way I was going to get the answers I needed. When I got there to the bottom of the ridge I could still smell his scent it was unmistakable. I took it in a deep breath helping to calm my nerves before I did the only thing I could think of to get his attention I took of the bracelet and my ring placed them in my leather pouch and hung it from the branch of a tree and waited. 

     For awhile there was nothing just me alone in the dark in the middle of the woods until I saw one. A silk making it’s way down the ridge in my direction. My heart pounding against my chest trying to break free but I stood my ground. Slowly taking its time gliding it’s way in front of me. My attention was solely focused on what was in front of me I didn’t noticed three more moving there way down the ridge. I couldn’t react fast enough before they started pulling energy from me taking there time like they was enjoying the taste. I watched the light being pulled from body doing everything I could not to look in the black emptiness that would be where the face should be feeling week I feel to my knees. It took everything I could just to say. 

“Tell your boss I’m here if he wants me come and get me before there’s nothing left to find."

     I couldn’t even hold my self up right anymore barely able to catch my self before my face hit the ground. Darkness started to creep into my vision he needs to show up before these silks finish me off.  I could feel the burning before I could even finish the thought. He did come. A faint smile fell on my limps as the burning become overwhelmingly intense. The darkness started closing in fast between the silks and the pain until I felt large hands scoop me up from the ground. Electricity shot through me giving me a jolt of energy enough to look up at his face. A look if anger and worry covered his striking rugged face. 

“You came for me!”

“Are you crazy or just insane those silks would of finished you off regardless of what I demand.”

“I didn’t Know how else to find you.”

“Did I not say I could always find you little wolf.” 

     With that being the last word I heard before the darkness took me I felt my shelf completely relax in his chest. A chest that looked cold and solid was warm, soothing and secure. I found my serenity again and this time I wasn’t going to let it go.

I felt light, not a cared in the world. Sitting at the island in the kitchen of the pack house watching my father flipping pancakes. They smelled sweet and like cinnamon. My mother stood on the other side of the counter getting coffee ready. 

“So what are your plans to day hunny, anything special?”

“Nothing just school it’s the last semester can’t miss any classes Professor Zeil has this last test making up 25 present of our grade.”

“How’s your friend Reign haven’t seen her around here much lately.” 

“You may not see her every day but I do I live with her. She’s fine she been studying a lot with her grams she getting really good with her magic, still chatty as ever.” 

“Well she’s a good for to you, keep her around, and that nice boy Micah he’s cute, seems like he maybe a good fit for you.”

“Mom I don’t think so, he’s into guys, besides I like someone else I have mentioned him before.”

“Who that tall long haired boy the one who drove you home last weekend in that old black truck. 

“Yes that one I can’t stop thinking about him.” 

“Him sorry sweetie I don’t think he’s right for you”

“How do you know you have never even talked to him. I don’t want to talk about it I don’t want to fight the morning started off so well.”

“Okay but we will talk about it.” 

     All of a sudden a high pitch ringing took over my ears it brought me to my knees. I could barely hear my mother and father screaming. I managed to crawl around the island to them both laying still on the ground blood coming from there eyes and ears not moving. Are they dead it didn't look like they was breathing. The ringing grew louder and the lights above me burst the windows shattered. I heard a mans voice yelling to me calling my name I turned to face him it was the boy with the black truck that drove me home. He picked me up and before I could even blink we was in the woods. 

“What's happing how did we get here so fast where are my parents? Oh God my parents are they dead. You have to help them.”

“I’m sorry they are gone, we can’t help them.  My focus was saving you, they are trying to kill you. I can't let that happen."

“Who's trying to kill me?”

“The witches your little friend Reign."

     I woke up head pounding heart beating rapidly. My body ached from top to bottom in places that I didn’t even know could hurt. Had to be from how much the silks drained from me. Shacking off the dream, another ominous feeling washed over me. Watching my parents died again, can’t be good for me. He was there saving me and warning me about witches and Reign. I know she’s a witch and I have only known her a  few days but, she seems like a good friend someone I can trust. Could it mean something meeting her and finally coming face to face with him at the same time.
