Jarlan's POV

"Jarlan!" I heard Bree squeal, "Wake up it's Christmas!"

I groaned as she tried to pull me out of bed, "Isn't the pups who are suppose to be excited for Christmas Bree?"

"Nope" she grinned, "No get up! Or I'll call Drake to get you!"

Oh Moon Goddess not Drake... he was the worst wolf to wake you in in the morning, so I did the smart thing and sat up yawning.

Bree was sitting crisscross on my bed in her cute pink Pj's her hair wasn't combed but she still had a bright smile on her face, "Come on Jarlan, The cooks are making a giant bacon, eggs and Pancake breakfast!"

I smiled and hopped out of bed, Bree's smile dropped and her face turned five different shades of red from blushing, she likes what she sees, Apollo smirked.

She must of heard that cause she turned away embarrassed, "Y-your evil Jarlan!"

I snickered and pulled a shirt over myself, "There I'm clothed." I could hear the squeals of little children as ran down the hallway and towards the stairs.

Bree and I opened the door and followed behind the crowd of children, we met Raven and Asher on the way, "Merry Christmas Raven" I said and gave her a hug and kissed.

"Merry Christmas Jarlan" she smiled and hugged me back, we followed down towards the Christmas tree and from the top of the stairs I could see presents at the base of the tree.

There were little kids ripping open their presents, Raven ran off with Asher and I went to find Kaydon, "Merry Christmas" I said when I found him. He was with Kitty, she was opening a present from him.

"Merry Christmas Jarlan" he said and went back to his mate, I snuck over to a secret spot and pulled out a small present.

"Bree!" She turned her head, "Yes Jarlan?" I smiled and held out the tiny present, "Merry Christmas."

She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh Jarlan you didn't have to get me anything."

"What kind of mate would I be if I didn't get my own mate something for Christmas?" I pointed out. She smiled and opened up the wrapping paper.

There was a little purple box, frowning she took of the top then gasped, "Do you like it?" I asked nervously.

She was silent for a bit then quietly said something, "Soul mate." She held up a beautiful white gold necklace, at the bottom there was a heart with a Ruby inside.

Soul mates was written on the back of it, "The Ruby stands for July... your birthday."

She finally looked up at me, "N-no one has ever gave me something so beautiful." She leaned in and I wrapped my arms around her. Apollo perked at the sparks but he stayed quiet.

"Thank you Jarlan."

I held her in my embrace for a little while longer, for the first time since Kyle and Dad's death I felt at peace. My true mate was safe in my arms, is this love?

Yes, Apollo purred, This is what love feels like. Love for our mate.

"Can you put this on please?" She asked, "Of course" I said and put the necklace over her. I clipped it and moved her beautiful dirty blonde hair out of the way.

"There."

She turned back to me, "Thank you." After everyone opened their presents, we all had Breakfast. As Bree said we had bacon, eggs and pancakes. One cook even gave Raven and I our own plate of bacon so we didn't have to share.

I we finished I got on a pair of jeans and a regular gray shirt one. I grabbed my winter coat and boots and headed out into the lightly snowing land.

In my hands held two flowers, I let the spine chilling wind blow at my hair as I walk into the forest behind the Castle. When I stopped I was standing in front of two gravestones. They had names written on them.

Kyle Mgart and Thrion Mgart.

"Hey Bro... Dad."

Silence.

"I-I'm just here to say Merry Christmas guys and..." I struggled to hold myself together. "I miss you but I hope your happy with the Moon Goddess, and Thia and Kyana."

I gently place both roses on their grave.

For the next few minutes I re-lived an old Christmas memory for when Kyle and I were seven.

*Flashback*

"Merry Christmas Jar" Father handed me a small sword, I gasped and gently gripped it, Kyle had one too.

"You two are going to be the Kingdom's greatest Warriors you need to train" Thrion smiled and rubbed my head.

Raven kneeled beside Kyle and I, "That's right, when I become Ruler of the Warlocks I will need you two to protect me."

Kyle raised the sword, "We will protected you from all evil Queen Raven!"

That was one of the last times I saw Thrion laugh.

*End Of Flashback*

I looked up at the gray sky, "Goodbye."

"Jarlan?"

I turned around, "Hey Bree."

She had a large white winter coat on and white boots, "Are you alright?"

I looked back down at the two gravestones, "Yea... I think." Was I alright? I always thought so.

"Hey Jarlan, I wanted to give you your present alone" she said quietly, "Well you got your wish, were alone" I joked.

She moved closer towards me until we were chest to chest, "Merry Christmas" she whispered.

She leaned up until our lips touched. I leaned down and rested my hands on her side while she wrapped hers around my neck.

Her fingers moved in my hair and our kiss became more passionate, while the snow fell gently around us. We finally broke apart.

I could feel. Apollo's urge to claim her as our mate but I held it back.

I wouldn't until she was ready.

Sup? Ok finally I got this done. The school has now just enforced the no phones in class policy but it's even more strict than before so it may be harder to upload chapter but please be patient.
