The Light Within

What Comes Around, Stays

Kade's POV

     "So, I heard from your friends that you found your mate. What's she like?" My father, Jackson, asked.

     "She is just perfect. She's smart, funny, witty and very sarcastic. She's very short, like 5'2 and she has the prettiest black hair ever. She has one blue eye and one brown eye. She has a round face, a button nose, and heart shaped lips. But, I have to ask you something. What are the Original Three?"

     "The Original Three are a three clans of witches that are the strongest ones on earth. They live for peace. But, the Blair's decided that they wanted more power and tried to kill off the other two clans off. But, that obviously didn't work. Let me guess, your mate is a Havardr. Layla Havardr at that." How?

     "How do you know?"

     "She called yesterday and wanted the neighboring packs to come to a cook out today at 12."

     "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go tell everyone else and tell them they have ten minutes." I ran to my room. It was already 11:30 and it would take 20 minutes to get to their territory.

     I got dressed in a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I also put on a pair of black Jordans. When I came everyone was already getting into cars, so I got in my '77 Chevelle SS.

***********************************

     When we got there, Xander's pack was there. He walked over to me. "I want to call a truce."

     "Why? We don't like each other." I replied back to him.

     "I know we don't like each other. But, our mates are like sisters. We both don't want them unhappy. Look at them." I looked over at my tiny mate. She and Zinnia were smiling and laughing with the kids. I really don't want her unhappy.

     "Fine. But, this is only for them." We shook on it. When we released our hands my little mate was running over to me. She jumped and I caught her.

     "Well, this is a good hello. What's the matter, little one?"

     "I just wanted a hug and I was going to kiss your cheek until you said something." I looked at her horrified. She giggled and it sounded like bells. She still gave me my kiss.

     "So, Zinnia, did you get the pool ready last week like I asked or not?" I had to tear my eyes away and looked at Zinnia who was in Xander's arms.

    "No. I totally forgot. I had three birthday parties to plan plus a baby shower."

     "Let me down, dear. Let's go empty and I'll fill it up." Me and Xander followed them to the pool. The little kids watched. Zinnia went to the side while we stopped three feet away and she got in a stance. She then lifted the water and carried it over to massive garden and lowly it slowly.

     Layla then walked over and muttered something in Latin. The pool then started to fill up with water. That was amazing. They really are powerful.

      "Lay, can we go swimming now?" A cute little girl asked.

      "Yes, Carla. Go ahead. Zinnia and me will be in in a minute," she turned to us, "Do you guys want to go swimming," we shook our heads yes, "Shawn, can you let them borrow a couple of your swim shorts? Thank you."

     Shawn came back in a couple of minutes with a black pair and blue pair. I took the black pair. With my tan skin, black would look amazing on me. Not bragging or anything.

Xander's POV

     My little mate is absolutely adorable. She has dark brown hair and amber colored eyes. I've never seen those colored eyes in my life. She's short, like 5'3. Kade and me are both 6'7. So, our mates are tiny. But, Zinnia has a heart shaped face, with heart shaped lips. She has a witty, but amazing personality.

     I know she meant when she said that we would have a fight on our hands if we try to break her and Layla apart. Those two grew up together, like sisters.

     "Come on, aunt Zin. Get in the pool with us." A little kid said. So they all are family.

     "I'm coming, Stephan. Layla, do you want to get in?" Layla shook her head no.  "Why are still self conscious? You have a beautiful body." Well, we know who the shy one is.
    
     Zinnia took of her clothes and she had on a baby blue bikini. The top had a ruffle and the bottoms had bows on the sides. She looked hot and beautiful. I blushed.

     Kade was looking at Layla and she just sighed. She took hers off and she had a black one piece on, with what looked like tears on the side. Kade started blushing. You would have thought that since we were players we wouldn't blush at females bodies.

     They jumped in and we went to the woods to change. What can you say. Old habits die hard. When we got back, Layla and Brittany, the witch whore, were fighting.

     "You better stay away from Kade! He is my mate, bitch!" Brittany said. Layla just smirked.

     Adrian, the werewolf whore, was fighting with Zinnia. "You need to stay away from Xander before I shift on you."

     "You both can't really be threatening can you? I can sense that you both are scared." Was all Layla said. Zinnia looked beyond furious. She is cute when she's mad.

     The two whores went to attack our mates. Both of our packs growled because their Lunas were getting attacked.

     Adrian shifted and went to attack Zinnia, but Layla intercepted and got bitten on the arm. Zinnia went and sent fire at Brittany to stop her from getting Layla.

     "Lay, should we use our powers or not?" Layla looked at her like she was stupid. "Sorry." Zinnia smiled sheepishly.

    "Cascading Jinx!" Layla yelled. What the hell. I noticed that the girls that were attacking them flew back and took a while to get up.

     "Epoximise!" Zinnia said. The two girls became glued together. The Blair clan looked scared.

     "How do you know that already!? Those are level six spells." One guy said.

     "Maybe because we are level ten witches." Zinnia told him. "That's the highest level you can go, Xander." I'm glad she answered. I was so confused.

     "Now, Mr. Dean Blair, I would appreciate it if you would leave. I don't think my clan or Zinnia's clan likes that yours ruined our day. We did invite you, but, your daughter said no." Layla said. That is very business like.

     "I know, Ms. Havardr. I came to apologize for her behaviour. I hope this doesn't tarnish our alliance?"

     "No, sir, it doesn't. I may be mean some of the time, but, I'm not heartless. But, I suggest you let your son take over, or I may terminate it. I do not tolerate disrespect towards my mate or my clan."

     "I was already thinking that. My son is training for it and I would like for him to train under a good clan. May he train under the both of you?" Kade growled at that. I am sure I did.

     "He can be trained by Lyon and William. Those are our second in command. They are just as strong as we are." They shook their hands on it and the son stepped out. Julia looked at him and froze. She found her mate.
     "Jule, this is Alex. Alex, this is Julia." Zinnia said not looking from watching the kids. The Blair clan left except for Alex.

***********************************

     It's now about 8 o'clock at night.

     "Layla, should we let them stay here since it's so late? It's also All Hallows Eve."

     "Yeah, Zinnia, we should. We could send someone to town to get them some clothes." And with that, we stayed the night.
