My Voodoo Queen

Chapter 21

Alanza POV

As soon as I walked in the door of my home, a huge palm wrapped around my bicep and tugged me into the living room couch. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KIDNAPPED," barked a very angry werewolf. I took a deep breath and told them everything. "Habibti, what if this spirit was trying to lead you into a trap? How can you blindly trust her?" asked Ahmad. Jamir looked like he was crying  and Lorenzo was comforting him. John was pacing back and forth. Both Richard and Ahmad were glaring at me like I was an insolent child. "Maman Brigitte was the one who animated me, she wanted me to help her be a protector of women," I replied. The guys' jaws dropped in shock. I saw that Jamir still had tears in his eyes and I asked him what was the matter. "I failed to protect you again, I am a terrible mate," said Jamir. I crawled over to him, took his hands into mine and assured him that he did a great job protecting me. 

"My love, who is this Desiree Dorval?" asked John. I suspected this and no, I am not jealous. I trust the guys with my heart for some reason. I have known them for a month and, all five of them make one passable husband for me. I just hope I can make a great wife for them.

"Desiree Dorval is a Haitian, Puerto Rican Voodooist/bruja who so happens to be a great ally. It is said that the paternal side of her family is related to the great Voodoo king, Papa Midnight. Her mother is a powerful bruja and her father is a powerful Voodoo Priestess. Desiree is damn near a goddess. She is even stronger than I am, and I am level 3 strong. I am nowhere near strong because both of my mothers are not as powerful, and I am not considered goddess material because my powers were given to me. Dorval is good people, but cross her, and she will make your life a living hell. That woman is a grudge-holder and doesn't take betrayal lightly. A warlock who she was dating, cheated on her with her roommate and married the said roommate. They even invited her to their wedding which she refused to go to. The couple lasted 9 years, the roommate turned out to be a shitty wife and mother. The bitch was lazy, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, unappreciative, disloyal, emotionally and verbally abusive; she left him and their two kids for her sugar daddy. Now he is currently trying to win Dorval back, it got so bad that she had to put a restraining order on him. The one thing Dorval despises more than a trifling man is a cheater. She is the best ally you could have, if you need meds, go to her if you need a prescription. If you need a loan, her family is rich. She is book smart with no people skills whatsoever," I said.  

"Baby girl, we have finished the preparations for the ceremony. It will start tomorrow night, so the vampires will be comfortable. We even got you a dress that you would like with the help of your friends and ward," said Richard. My guys took out a beautiful mermaid gown with a lavender shade. "I also have a gift for all of you to share. I brought you all a yacht that is pretty much a man cave," I said. Three of my guys passed out cold while two rushed to hug me.
