The Broken Warrior's Daughter

The next morning. | was feeling much more like myself. When Eli and | went down to breakfast, | saw immediately what Noah meant about the ‘sprite situation’. Leilani and Lolana were tall. They still glowed like sprites, but they are walking beside Alexander standing over five feet tall if |

had to quess.

“Lady Luna Grace, Lady Luna Grace.” They both exclaim excitedly before embracing me in the bright light of their arms and bodies.

“Oh’ | say, unused to such effusive affection before wrapping my arms around them in an awkward hug.

“Girls, let Luna Grace breathe.” Alexander says and they immediately release me and step back. He wraps an arm around each one as they flank him.

“What? How?” “Look! Look!” They say, pulling their hair aside and showing me their mate marks. A slow smile spreads across my face. “You're mated!” | say, happy for their excitement.

“Yes! Alexander and Fynn wanted us as their mates.” They turn their adoring eyes to Alexander who kisses first one then the other.

“I'm very happy for you, but how are you..tall?”

“Oh, when we have someone that wants us...” “Someone who wants to be our mate forever...

“Then we can take on their form..

“Similar to how you shift into a wolf...

“We can now shift into a human.”

“Alexander said the human side is better than the wolf...” “Easier for us to go out in public-

“Easier for us to mate...”

“So that is the form we chose.”

| step forward, taking one of each of their hands in mine, trying to stop the barrage of information coming from them. Alexander, | note, doesn’t seem overwhelmed at all. He looks perfectly content

and happy.

| glance at him before turning to the sprites. “Did Alexander explain to you what it means to be mated to a werewolf?”

“Yes. We are his.”

“And he is ours.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

We don’t share our ligh

with anyone else.”

“And he doesn’t lay with anyone but us. “Well, we can share our light with Fynn.” “But they are really the same.”

“We love Fynn as much as Alexander.”

Fynn starts purring at this announcement and the twins shiver in excitement. Oh goddess, they may look different, but they are just larger versions of the sprites they have always been.

“Alpha Eli and | are very happy for all of you.” | say because | know Eli is gritting his teeth. The bouncing conversation gets on his nerves.

“Alexander, have you given any consideration to where the three of you will live?” Eli asks him.

“Actually, Alpha, | wanted to talk to you about moving the location of my home. The girls would like to be closer to their families and | wanted to see if we could look to build closer to the forest. know Thomas and Tula have been thinking the same thing, if that’s possible.”

Eli nods. “Let’s talk tomorrow. Luna Grace and | have several announcements that may impact our discussion. We'll be having a pack meeting tonight.”

They walk off and we go to get our food. “I was wondering how that whole mate thing would work. | guess now we know.” | say to Eli.

During breakfast, Eli mind links the pack, letting them know about our gathering tonight. | go to Cammy and make sure that we are set for food to feed the entire pack. She tells me that she'll have to increase the food she was planning because as houses are being built and with food available at the market, some pack members are choosing to cook and eat in their own homes

After double checking our food supplies. | head out to the garden.

“Lady Luna Grace, Lady Luna Grace.”

turn as the twins come flitting up to me. Even taller, they look more like they are floating than walking.

“Alexander said we should ask you what we can do to help in the pack.”

“Yes, now that we are part of the pack, we want to help.”

| think for a moment. “What can you do?”

They look at each other,

“We can fly.”

“We can glow in the dark.”

“We can make plants grow.”

“We can.”

“Wait!” | say, holding up a hand. “You can make plants grow?”

“Oh yes.”

“It's easy.”

“We're sprites, after all.”

“So, you could help our garden grow?” | ask.

“Oh yes.” They both nod.

“Let's go see what you can do.” | say before taking them into the garden. Victoria is working this morning. “Hi Victoria. Have you met Leilani and Lolana?” “Not specifically. Nice to meet you both.”

“You as well.” Leilani says, but her attention is on the garden.

“You did all this?” Lolana says, also looking around the garden.

Victoria frowns, looking at me. “There are several of us that work in the garden.”

As we watch, the twins begin walking through the plants, their fingers barely brushing against the plants as they pass. As they touch them, the plants seem to perk up, their color becoming brighter, standing taller and the fruits and vegetables growing on them seems to get bigger in

front of our eyes.
