I V Y

Chapter 3-New Gifts

Ivy

It's been three days since my first heat and I'm back home in my bedroom sewing a outfit for one of my customers. A lot of odd things have changed about me. The first noticeable thing is my hair, my ginger hair is now white up front creating a natural skunk patch and is now in reaching my lower back. My already curvy body has spread out more making me having to work more for fabric to make new clothes. Being in the lower part of the pack and in my family the luxury of shopping at the local mall or boutiques isn't in my budget.

It doesn't stop there. I lifted my finger and my scissors floated to me cutting the thread for me. I now have new talents. From willing objects to do what I want to thinking of stuff and it appearing before me. But the last one is tricky I've only been able to make things like food or something I lost appear. I've tried money , jewels , electronics haha just for fun and nothing. I can also control my wolf side without shifting enhancing my senses and sight when I want to has been a lot of help. Sometimes I swear I can hear the thoughts of others.

Folding the two piece outfit I wrapped it up nicely and set it to the side with the others. Today I'm making deliveries and collecting payments from jobs I've done for the other families. I'm so thankful that my Nana taught me how to fend for myself if it wasn't for that I'd have nothing. Being the black sheep of the family i go unnoticed in terms of needing things. Throwing on a stretchy dress and putting my long curls into a pineapple bun I slid in my Sandals and headed out to make this money.

"Veo que tu culo perezoso finalmente está fuera de la habitación." (I see your lazy ass is finally out the room) my sister argued. Rolling my eyes I walked passed her and made my way out the room. "Stuck up bitch! You no hear me taking to you?!" Sighing I set my stuff down and turned around folding my arms.

"Girl what's your problem. Por qué siempre tienes que hablarme así?" ( why are you always talking to me like this?) I asked my older sister Isabella. I'm sick and tired of her mess it's hard enough I have to share a room with her I also have to put up with her bullying and jealousy.

"Because I don't like you." She rolled her neck.

"Y por qué es eso" (And why is that?)

She stood there squinting at me. "Crees que eres mejor que nosotras" ( you think your better than us)

"you make all this money and don't help us out with shit.. Qué pasa con el resto de nosotros" (what about the rest of us)

"Age 12 I had grown out of my clothes you were working at the grocery store and bought a whole new wardrobe... I asked you for your old clothes. Qué me dijiste" (what did you tell me)

Standing there about to speak I interrupted her. "You said , Incluso con mis manos, todavía me veré como una vaca gorda."
(even with hand me downs I'll still look like a fat cow)

"Then you tore it all up and threw them in the community trash"

"From then I stopped asking all y'all for shit for one simple reason y'all don't give a FUCK about me"

"As long as I help my momma when she needs it that's all that matters she may not love me but I can't sit in here en mi culo (on my ass) and watch her struggle" 

She stood there while I proceeded to gather my things. But before I left out I noticed my mom leaning on the kitchen wall I told her goodbye and made my rounds. I couldn't even enjoy this beautiful afternoon thinking about what she said.

I was so in my head that I didn't pay attention to where I was going and bumped into what felt like a stonewall almost falling on my ass. Just when i was bracing for the impact I felt these long thick arms grabbing my by my waist.

That's when it hit me like a ton of bricks that juicy smell of honeysuckle and vanilla. I looked up and my wolf instantly purred.

"Mi amor" (my love) he growled deeply making my heart flutter. His grip tightened on my waist I was in utter shock future Alpha Alejandro was holding me like a delicate flower. "Our forever love" serenity spoke to me.

We stood there for two minutes not saying a word. It felt like an eternity. That's when it happened and before I can stop it my wolf imprinted on his and the connection surged through me like a electric shock.

"Why you look so scared" he asked his perfect chiseled face turning into a frown as he rubbed my cheek. "esto no puede ser verdad" (this can't be true) I responded as tears threatened to fall. Maybe Serenity is mistaken "tuh I make no mistakes ... he's OURS... don't fuck it up the moon goddess blessed us we don't deny our blessings" she said with a attitude. As if he can read my mind he said "don't fight it mi amor... I've been searching for you ever since I saw you in the woods that night"

"Errs aús más hermosa como humana" (You're even more beautiful as a human)

Even though I felt beautiful and told myself that everyday for some reason it felt more true when he said it. His eyes full of love ... and lust I gave in the mate bond was stronger then I anticipated. I can tell he was fighting his wolf his hazel eyes turning black every few seconds. I forgot we were in public until I seen a flash. We turned our heads being taken out of the magical trance to see who took the picture.

"lo siento alfa...fue un momento tan hermoso" (im sorry alpha it was such a beautiful moment) Misty my last client said handing us the photo she captured. I chuckled accepting it I forgot I just dropped off her order of clothes. That girl is nosey just like her momma.

He told her it was okay and handed her a hundred dollar bill. "No no I can't accept this" she tried handing it back but he refused to take it. " No keep it as a small encouragement it came out beautiful" she cried saying thank you and headed back into her house.

"Now mi amor... would you like to get some food? I'd love to get to know you" blushing I accepted and took him to my favorite place for empanadas and tostones. This has become one hell of an interesting day.
