Curves For My Mate.

Chapter 23

Enjoy.!!!!!!

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

I took slow steady breaths as I prepared to tell my parents what I was. Who I was.

We were now sitting in the living,them on a couch together while I sat a few feet away on a lone chair.

I could feel my palms sweating and my heart beating out of my chest. I'm not even sure what I was so nervous about. I mean they were my parents.

Just do it Kat. Come on. You got this!

I gave myself a little pep talk to try and alleviate my nerves but alas it did not work.

"Soooo.....what was that exactly?" My father asked.

"Well..... uuummm....you see, the thing is...."

I looked down at my hand feeling even more nervous now that I'd opened my mouth. I sure hoped I didn't throw up.

"You can tell us honey." My mother said in that tone only a mother can manage.

I gave them a small smile that I'm sure looked more like a grimace.

"Mom , Dad, I'm a gryphon queen who is destined to lead all the supernaturals all over the world. Oh Ya...they might be some crazy war coming against like the Lower Kingdom and I'm supposed to defeated them......apparently."

I took a much needed breath and just waited for them to tell me how crazy I was.

"Oh honey...."

Here it comes.

"Does your mate know?"

"I knew you guys wouldn't believe me but I swe- what?"

They looked at me with confused looks before my mother repeated her question.

"Does he know?"

"I - uhh Ya. Ya he does." Okay. This is definitely not how I envisioned this.

"So you guys believe me?"

"Sure we do. Why wouldn't we? " my father answered.

"Plus we did just see you as a huge gryphon outside so..." my mother added.

I let out a breath of relief and sagged against my chair. I didn't know how exhausting being nervous was.

I looked at my parents and noticed them watching me with worry in their eyes. What's up with them?

"What?"

My mom simply opened her arms in invitation. I could feel my eyes beginning to water. I just stared at them as the tears made their way down my face.

I let out a choked sob as I ran into my mother's arms. The sobs wracked my body and my broken cries filled the silent house. My mom rubbed my back gently as I cried loudly. Not to brag but I've always had a pretty cry. Mom always told me I looked so beautiful when I cried and I was bawling so I must have looked fucking gorgeous.

"Oh my sweet baby, I know youre scared. You've never really been one to lead but listen to me."

She grabbed my face and turned my head to face her.

"Listen, I know you will a great leader. You are strong and brave and most importantly very compassionate. That is what makes a true leader. Love. You may not see it but everyone else does. Don't be afraid that you might fail because every endeavour we have ever ventured in had the risk of failure but you can't let the fear of failure stop you from trying. You can do this."
