Green Rose(on hold)

Chapter 11

Shifters could have more than one mate? How was that possible, I kept wondering?  I looked over at Drake to find him fighting off his wolf. I quickly walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, knowing physical contact with his mate will help calm him. “It’s ok.” I whispered.

“I don’t want to share you.” He told me.  I gave him a weak smile.

Before I could say anything Ryan spoke up “I don’t know for sure Cara will have another mate. It’s just I thought you should know just in case, because it has happened before, at least for shifters.”

I let go of Drake and walked over to the desk covered in papers. “What else is in here?” I started shuffling through the papers. There were a lot of papers with some names and dates, but I didn’t really understand them.

“Just some more background information and people who were past shifters.” Ryan walked over and picked up and old brown leather book. “I think you should read this.” He hands me the book.

“What is it?” I opened it to the first page. It read:

                   Property of: Shannon Kingston

“It’s a diary from your great grandmother.” Ryan explained. I looked at him. Besides my mom, dad, and brother I have never had much for family. And my parents never talked about anyone else.

“Thank you.” I told him, feeling grateful that he showed this to me. I walked back over to Drake’s side. “Let’s go home.” I said. I wanted to get started reading my grandmother’s diary right away. Is it wrong for me to read it though?

“What are you thinking about?” Drake asked.

“Just about my great grandmother and this diary.” I answered.

Lost in thought again about my great grandmother, I began to wonder if she too was a shifter. Did she have powers? Did she have more than one mate? Right now there was only one way for me to find out, and that was to read her diary.

When we got back to the house Drake made me a BLT and I went to sit down in one of the many nice sitting rooms. I opened the book up to the first page and began to read.

                                           Today I began to wonder about what it would be like if I did not have my abilities. Would life be better or more difficult? Would I be happy if I wasn't a shifter, not even a werewolf? No I don't think I would. At the age of nine I had shifted into my first form, a wolf. At the age of twelve I learned five more forms. My forms added up and at the age of 18 I got my powers. I have heard it is different for every shifter but I like mine. One of my powers is the ability to  communicate with animals even if I am not in animal form. Another power I have is to summon animals. My mates find this very useful because they can not always be there for me and when they leave I summon animals to keep myself company.

I stopped there letting it all sink in. My great grandmother did have more than one mate. And she had powers. Will I get mine at 18 too? I leaned back in the chair I was sitting in and tucked my legs under me. I wish I had known her, I thought as my eyes slowly closed.
