[Author’s note: to all my readers please check out Baamagranna’s story CONSEQUENCES. It’s really good and one of my favorite stories. Also this isn’t going to be a super long story like my other ones it’s more of like a short story. Sorry.]

~Vesta~

I sat on at the desk in the library I was reading over a new book in a series I’ve been looking at as I read suddenly I wasn’t in the library anymore. I was in a dark place it was like a cave. I spun in circles as I saw a small tunnel I walked down it slowly. Until I came to what looked like Rainbow fire. Made into bars. I looked at the bars they were faded.

“so you are the new one..”

There behind the bars was the creature on the cave wall I started to hyperventilate. It looked around then smiled.

“no protector? That will be excellent…”

A creepy smiled came onto its face suddenly a hand was on my shoulder and I was against a strong chest. I buried my face into the chest and heard “it’s ok calm down. It’s ok.” I looked up seeing Jax. “what just happened?” I asked he looked down at me and said “you started to hyperventilate. What were you reading?” he asked I sighed and said “nothing.” He let go slowly. It’s been a week since the whole party and Jax has become a pretty close friend/stalker. I joke with him while I’m at work since he hangs out here. I sat back down and held my head Jax walked back over to his seat.

~Jax~

I can tell Vesta likes me but it seems like something it keeping her from me. Like she’s scared not to mention that scene the just happened. One minute she was fine then I look up she’s pale as a ghost and hyperventilating. Once I hugged her she came back to reality. I didn’t understand it but I knew I had to help her.

I don’t really care about her killing rogues now. I just wanted my mate to love me. I sat down watching her relax and shake her head. What did she see that freaked her out so much. I thought about the cave drawings and the dream could all this be connected? I had to looked up the history I had to find out. I wanted to keep her safe. Her hours passed and she started to clean up. I put my book away and we walked out. “you sure you’re ok?” I asked she nodded and said “yeah it was like a day dream but a nightmare.” I nodded so it was a dream.

Maybe I didn’t have that much to worry about. I walked her to the road and all the way to where it split. “I’ll see you around.” I smiled she smiled back saying “yeah that’s Jax.” I nodded and walked away as I walked towards the house. I walked into the library of our kind and started to look up anything about a Vatalli. As I searched dad walked in. “hello son. Haven’t seen you in this library since you were a boy? Anything I can help with?” I smiled at my dad and asked “yeah um you know anything about a girl names Vatalli?” dad’s eyes darkened and he growled. “where did you hear that despicable name?” whoa never seen my dad get mad at a name before. “I heard it and I was just wondering mind explaining the hostility?” I asked he sighed and said “sit down son I was praying that past was long gone.” I raised a brow and sat down.

“it’s not written it’s passed by word. The first pack of wolves there ever was were a great pack but the alpha’s son Jarlath… he um well he was a great wolf don’t get me wrong. An excellent warrior but the moon goddess made a mistake with his mate. She choose something that no wolf can mate with. There called the pyros they control and create fire. Well his mate was a woman named Vatalli she was a pyro. The two refused to listen to their people. They were warned that no good can come from two completely different species being together.”

Dad took a breath. Pyro’s? The cave now made sense.

“one night something strange happened in the sky. There was a glowing full white moon but the whole sky shinned like a rainbow. Our ancestor Jarlath well him and his mate were planning to run. Never return and live together. But on the rainbow night a beast came from the earth. This beast was monstrous it had a thirst for human flesh. That’s all it wanted to eat and it was never satisfied. That beast came and started to terrorize the people. Then it’s sight was on Vatalli. It charged at her and chased her we were glad it was gone from us but Jarlath went after his mate.”

So they were marked.

“he saved her and fought the beast he won sending the monster back into the ground but the elders of both people agreed to keep them apart no mates would be mixed species. So Vatalli married a pyro man and Jarlath married a she-wolf. Jarlath claimed he never marked Vatalli but that beast proved he had. Then one night upon the rainbow night Jarlath vanished we never found out what happened to him since Vatalli was married and with child.”

I nodded, if Vesta was a pyro then I was screwed but something told me that she was more than that. I remember the lights they weren’t just fire they were a rainbow. “why do you ask son?” I looked at my dad and said “just curious you know because of my mate.” he nodded and said “don’t worry son your mate is nothing like a pyro she’s a kind person.” I smiled and he got up saying “don’t worry. History will never repeat.” I nodded then asked “um dad?” he turned and looked at me. “when is the rainbow night?” he smirked and said

“every thousand years there are two. The first one is in a few weeks then the next will be at the end of the year. Don’t worry the beast hasn’t been seen since. That’s why the breeds never mix.” He walked out laughing my ancestor was protecting his mate and claimed to have never marked her then why did that monster show up? “HEY DAD!!” I ran after my father. “did Jarlath have like a journal or anything?” I walked with him down the hall. “hmm not that I know of but if you check the attic there might be something. You know how you mother doesn’t like the throw things away.” I nodded and ran up to the attic. As I pulled the ladder down I saw Josh sitting on the stairs. “what ya up to Alpha?” he asked. I smirked and said “trying to find an answer want to help?” Liam was behind him. “sure.” They stated and climbed the ladder.

I sat on the back porch looking at the night sky the star kept getting brighter each and every night not to mention the moon was starting to shin it was just showing a bit waxing within a few weeks the full moon would be out I wonder how bright that will be? I laid back and watched the stars. Suddenly my phone rang. “hello?” I answered “oh hi Vesta..” my aunt greeted. “I just wanted to check in on you and make sure you have plans for this summer. Are you going anywhere? Visiting anyone?” I smiled and said “nope working and staying home.”

“ok well I think you should go visit some of your friends.” I laughed and said “there all away at camp.” She sighed and said “just go away for the summer go have some fun.” She was really pressing the away part. “if you want to get ride of me let me know.” I joked she laughed then sighed. “alright well have fun.” I shrugged weird aunt.

~Aunt Brie~

I didn’t want Vesta to stay home alone because there was a pack of mutts right next door. If one of them was a mate she would be marked and a repeat of our history would happen I did not want to see that monster again. Especially if the rainbow night is coming soon. Within five weeks that night would be upon us I believe. I prayed she wasn’t marked by a wolf while I left. I knew one thing the creature came out fully on the rainbow night but it leaked out weeks before it. I was worried if she was marked there wouldn’t be a safe place to hide from that thing.

~???~

I smiled as one bar was fully gone now. I let some of my dark powers leak out and create a little monster. “go and attack who should be her protector. Kill him and then go for the girl I want them dead by the time I am released.” It nodded and crawled away. The last protector was dead he was before my cage with a picture of his mate… the fool love is a wasteful thing. I turned to the cave I was locked away in. soon I would be free only a few more weeks until my freedom. All I had to do was be a little bit more patient.
