The Storm Inside

Wynter Silvermyst's POV

I laid on Knox's bare chest as we finished another round of love making cuddled up, enjoying each others warmth and comfort as I groaned from Knox picking me up as we had to get ready for this evening to meet with my uncle and his family.

"Do you think my uncle will like me?" I softly said, as I looked in the mirror being careful with putting on my make up trying to keep it looking natural.

"Baby, Darren will adore you, especially his wife, as I know the little fire fae will set her husbands ass on fire again if he does not adore you." Knox chuckled out as he kissed my head from behind me.

I shook my head giggling at Knox as we both finished getting ready, as my handsome man was now wearing a different outfit that was more casual with a long sleeve shirt that has a built in half face mask to hide his lower half of his face.

I smiled knowing I was the only one who will ever see what he truly always looks like underneath his masks, and everyone else can still have the mystery that is my man.

We walked out hand in hand wearing dark green colours to match in our outfit, as I wore a short knee length dress with flats as my man wore his dark green tight skinned shirt, with dark cargo pants and his knives set in their sheaths on his thighs as he wore his combat boots.

We entered the main sitting room taking our seats on the two-seater couch with Knox leaning with arms on the back of the couch as I cuddled up to his side resting my head on his chest as we waited for everyone to come on down.

Papa came down first wearing a causal dress shirt and a pair of cargo pants with a few knives strapped to his thighs the same way Knox was dressed ready for anything, as we waited for the rest of my family.

They all came down all dressed up to impress when we were only having our uncle and his family to join us for tonight's family dinner, and I was starting to feel tired as this was going to be a long tiring night for all of us and I was not ready.

"Darren, glad for you to finally show up." Papa chuckled out as he hugged another man with short messy pale blonde hair with a woman with bright short red hair cut to her chin wearing a long, short sleeve dress with flats adoring her dainty feet.

"Wynter, sweetheart come here please." I groaned not wanting to move from my comfy place against Knox who kissed the top of my head helping me to stand as he guided me towards my father and now my uncle.

"Papa, do I need to do this right this second." I softly whined out as I clung to Knox's waist feeling drained and mentally tired from everything happening all at once.

I closed my eyes for a few minutes and that was when I felt myself slip under the darkness of collapsing.

I woke up with a small groan, feeling that I was on a bed resting after what had happened and I was still feeling more exhausted than I should be feeling as I am sure I fainted on everyone before dinner began.

"Hey, my little sprite." I turned my head to the direction of m papa's voice and when I squinted my eyes, I was able to see more clearly with my papa sitting right next to me pushing away my hair from my face with a worried look in his eyes.

"You fainted sweetheart, and it has only been few hour." I whimpered slightly from how my body is feeling along with my mind when I felt papa's cold hands seeping threw my skin resting in my bones letting me to calm down.

"Papa, what is happening to me, and why do I feel so exhausted right now?" I softly asked to let out another groan and whimpers.

"Sweetheart, your body is adjusting to having your inner storm calm now as you have gained control over your magick. I was wondering when it will all finally kick in for your body to let loose and shut down for you to relax and let everything work itself out to accomplish the final stage of being who you are." Papa explained to me, as I felt my eyes start to close as sleep claimed me once again.
