When Chaos Rises

Chapter 52: Where the wolves run

JUNE-JULY 2007
NEW ORLEANS BAYOUS
WYNTER'S POV:

I just know if Rosalie, Rebeccah or Narcissa saw my boots, after this last week of traipsing through the bayou looking for wolves, they would cry. Hell I might cry they used to be my favorite.
Paul and Nik snickered seeing me glare at the mud again.
Then I turned my glare to them, and Davina snickered at how quick they stopped.
"I swear these damn wolves better show themselves soon, and they better be happy when I am done!" I muttered. Now I know what your thinking why don't I just shift. Well the bayou heat is not friendly to a snow leopard's fur coat. So here I am annoyed at the loss of my boots.
These wolves were being stubborn and hiding. Well, I am done hunting them. I stopped and looked around and felt for my nature powers. Closing my eyes I had the small clearing cleared of mud, filled with soft grass, and some, for lack of better descriptions, thrones created. I then walked and sat in one.
"Really love?" Nick asked smiling as he sat in one.
Davina just sat down.
Paul shook his head and laughed sitting.
"Yes really! Now hush and watch this." I held my hands out and let my magic flow from me to the ground and out through the bayou. Using my magic I sent out a call, well more like a demand for the wolves to come to me.

Not long after three wolves stepped into the clearing, more stayed in the trees. Paul growled low as they got closer. I stopped the flow of my magic and stood.
I could hear what I was assuming was the beta growling to the others,"ฯ Who is this chick to command us? What does she want?ฯ"
The alpha whose wolf i recognized as Jackson growled at him to shut it. Then looked to me waiting.
"Finally! Had you showed yourselves a week ago this could have been handled so much quicker and i wouldn't have had to destroy a good pair of boots." Paul and Nik snorted. I'm pretty sure one of them muttered priorities.
Jackson tilted his head as if to say what? Not knowing I could hear and understand them.
I rolled my eyes, "I am going to give the abridged version of who I am. I am Wynter Black-Mikaelson. A goddess, core witch, werecat, vampire and Kitsune. I am here to help you and strike a deal. I have dealt with those foul ancestral witches in New Orleans, as well as their ancestors. They are no more. The only witches you will find in New Orleans now are weak wiccans and core witches. I have renegotiated a treaty. I destroyed the one that cursed you crescent wolves. Now I can break your curse, but then you have choice to make. You sign the treaty, which simply states your free to live,work, come and go in New Orleans as you want as long as you work with the other factions towards the betterment and protection of the city. You like they agree not to attack one another and to listen to Marcel as my appointed representative. Now if you don't like that you can always move to Camelot where there is a community ready for you wolves. Or if some want to go while others stay that is fine too."
The wolves looked shocked, well as much as wolves can.
"I have a portal set up in the annex of the quarter. Those that wish to go, simply go and seek out Charlie Weasley. He will be there for the next week to transport any of you."
I clapped my hands, "Now Alpha Jackson Kenner if you will please step forward."
Nik and Paul started conjuring and pile of clothes for when they changed. Jackson stepped forward and I bent down placing my hands on either side of his head. I began focusing on finding the magical trace of the curse. When I found it I began to use my magic to fight it unbinding it. Stripping it from their bloodline. I then went a bit deeper finding their werewolf curse and began to change the basis of it. The Crescent wolves were royalty among the wolves and deserved better. I changed the magic that made them change by killing someone. Now they would change at 18 if they wanted it. If not it would remain dormant passing on to their children. They would be able to shift without pain except for the first shift. They would not be held by the moons power either they could change at will. Finishing I released his head and stepped back.
"Shift" I tell him.
He shifts quickly and stands there panting. Nik tosses him some pants.
As he dresses I tell him what I did and changed.
"Now, as Alpha, all you have to do is bite the others and everything I did to you will pass to them. First though." I gripped his wrist and pulled him forward kissing his forehead and giving him my mark only. "You are my chosen wolf. Do not fail my expectations. Now we are going home so I can burn these boots before I cry. Make your choice. Jackson I expect you to let Marcel know soon."
With that we turned leaving the wolves to do what was needed and celebrate.
