Chapter 12

Johnathon was called out to the northern border due to more rogue sightings. He has now placed a bodyguard around me for just in case purposes. Especially when I refused to leave the bedroom because of the realness of my nightmare. I can still taste the stale air and smell the mildew on the brick walls. Magda and I worked in the garden quietly just enjoying each other's company. I do not need to work in the garden anymore since Alpha Johnathon and I mated and everyone knows now that we have, but I like to stay busy as this was my custom. I started to feel… weird… as I worked joyfully.

I felt stronger since we mated but this was different. My hip tingled where my birthmark was, and I could feel that same sensation moving its way through my entire body. All of a sudden, it took control of my body and I felt like I was about to come out of my own skin.

My head fell back, my arms opened wide, and a power came out of me. I was surrounded by it. It felt like a warm blanket on a cold night or Johnathon’s warm arms wrapped around me with his love pouring over. Only warmer. Pureness in its purest form. I felt time stand still as I opened my eyes and saw everything calm around me. My feet moved with elegance as if I were floating while walking. I could hear everything, see everything, feel everything, sense everything. Only in a different way now.

There was nothing but love and extreme power radiating from me. I knew it wouldn’t hurt me, although I didn’t know what it was. I knew it was part of me. And I wanted it. I loved it. I wanted to protect it like a mother for her child. As quickly as it came it withdrew itself back inside me and I gasped for air as it did.

I, all of a sudden, felt more aware of myself and my identity, even though I still did not fully know why. Why did I have this mark? What does it mean and why did this power come to me now? And does it have anything to do with me mating with Johnathon?

“Timber? Hey are you ok?” “Yes, Magda. I am fine. I am more than fine actually. My destiny has come to me” I said as I smiled widely at her full of euphoria. I don’t know why I said that, because I myself did not know what that meant. She looked at me a little confused and then as if realization hit her, she smiled back.

“Your mark has come alive” she finally said. “How do you know about my mark?” I said questionably.

“I saw it when you first came here and went into heat the first time. Please don’t be mad Timber.” She said as she lowered her eyes to me in respect.

“Why would I be mad Magda? It was not like you drugged me and searched for it abrasively. You found it accidentally, while trying to help me no less. For that help I am truly thankful. You have become a wonderful friend and companion to me here when I knew no one and was all alone.”

I smiled and gave her one of her deepest hugs. “I told Alpha Johnathon it was there too,” she said in a whisper. “I was afraid for you and thought he should know. For protection purposes.”

“It’s totally fine Magda. I know your intentions were done by nothing except for pure love and my safety. Truly you are an amazing person.”

“Timber? Do you know the importance of your mark?” she asked with her eyes still looking down in respect of me now being her Luna.

“No, not really. But I have suspicions it has something to do with a great power within me.” Her eyes met mine with fear, confusion, and questioning. As she went to speak no words came forth and she just stood there with her mouth open.

“I’m sorry Magda, I need to find Alpha Johnathon. It is of great importance. Something has come to the surface within me, and I need to talk to him.” With that she smiled and nodded as I started to walk away.

Now having been marked by Alpha Johnathon, He told me I was able to communicate with him through a newly opened mind link anytime I needed him without him opening it. ‘Johnathon, I need to speak with you as soon as you can please.’ I said as I sent love and urgency through the link. ‘I’ll be back to the house as soon as I can. I’m finishing up some business in the Northern territory. Be careful Timber.’

‘I love you’ He sent back. I sensed he was fighting at the same time, so I sent an accommodating nod and love through the link and closed it.
