burying our dead.

jamia pov:

when I finished drying off I wrapped myself in a towel and opened the door.

Matthew was sitting there holding his head in his hands.

he hopped up when he saw me and pulled me into a hug and kiss my lips.

before the kiss could deepen Matthew pulled away and placed his fore head against mines.

Matthew :

you were in there a long time.

I began to worry and

when you didn't answer when I first knocked I almost broke the door down

jamia :

Matthew I'm so sorry.

I fell asleep.

Matthew :

it has been a rough day.

lets go get you dressed and then we can go downstairs and eat or we can eat in the room.

jamia:

what about your mother.

I want to tell her about our babies.

Matthew :

she's in my sister Ava's room with my brother and the high priestess watching over them.

they need each other.

jamia :

Matthew you didn't have to move your mother.

Matthew:

yes I did.

I need my mate now.

I need you.

I almost lost you today.

plus mom will sleep through the night.

she ate a little and we gave her the tonic and she's resting now.

tomorrow will be a hard day for us.

the high priestess will travel with her to the island and get her settled in.

my sister will be going with her until she's better.

he grabs my hand and lead me to our room

once there I realize I didn't have any clothes to put on.

then I remember from absorbing the incantations from the book

I can make clothes appear on my body.

I closed my eyes and focused on what I wanted to wear and shorts appeared on my legs and a loose fitting tee covered my top half.

Matthew just looked at me and smiled.

I tell him let's eat in the room.

I want to tell him about my dream and what my granddad told me.

we set together on the bed.

I begin to tell him about seeing and playing with our babies.

I described how one was all black with a small grey tree with no leaves and a crescent moon and one was all grey with the same mark but in black. and that their eyes were the same color as their fur even the whites of their eyes.

Matthew was staring at me. then he touched my stomach and leaned over and kissed it.

a knock sounded at the door.

Matthew:

it must be the food I mindlinked the cook we would be eating in our room.

the same cook from before was at the door.

she had a tray with two plates and two cups of something to drink on it.

Matthew took the tray from her and thanked her.

he closed the door and walked to me he passed me a plate and took one for himself

he set the tray on the bed.

we ate in silence

when we finished eating.

I told Matthew what my granddad told me.

Matthew :

they better not try something tomorrow.

I'm burying my people in peace

he set the tray on his desk and pulled the covers back

and scooped me in his arms.

he placed me under the cover then climbed in and pulled me tight against his body.

Matthew :

jamia lets go to sleep

tomorrow will be a very hard day for us and since I know this is not over I need to organize all who can't or not able to fight to travel to the island.

he kisses my neck and snuggle up close and we fall to sleep.

when I wake the next morning.

the sun is shining brightly through the window.

I sit up and Matthew is not here.

I get up and do my necessity

I dress myself in a nice flowing blue dress

and blue flats.

I leave the room and mindlink Matthew and ask him where he is.

he said his fathers office.

I head that way when I get there Matthew was staring out the window he came to me immediately .

he kissed me and grabbed my in a bone crushing hug.

we were interrupted when the high priestess came in and said that the ceremony was ready.

Matthew nodded his head and grabbed my hand and we followed the high priestess out the door

Matthew had on a black suit and tie.

I thought of changing the color of my dress and flats black and instantly the color. changed.

we went out the back door and walked into the woods.

we walked for about 3 minutes when we entered a clearing with people standing everywhere.

it was about 800 men women and children.

me Matthew and the high priestess walked to the center of the clearing where Matthew's mom, sister, and brother stood the coven was behind the family and in the very middle were two piles of hay and a bed of flowers and on them were amia and the girl who volunteered.

also there were two casket and in the middle in a clear see through box edge in gold was the alpha Matthew's father john.

we walk to where Matthew's brother was holding his mother up.

I grab Matthew hand and put my arm around his sister and the ceremony begin

thehigh priestess officiated.

when she finished the coven conjured up a ball of fire and set the hay that held their sister ablaze.

Matthew father and the other were who died was carried off to the place where their body will rest.

we all went back to the pack house where we had a quiet celebration in honor of those who lost their lives.

as I retired for the night and waited on Matthew to finish up with the men.

I crawled Into bed and fell asleep to my mates and our packs howls wailing in the air.
