The Prophecy

by Amanda DeShane

  “Honey, keep concentrating, but open your eyes and look at yourself.” Said Karis. Aurora opened her eyes and saw herself glowing brightly. Then the light died down to nothing. “Holy shit, I glowed like a glow worm! And I actually feel better now.” Said Aurora in awe.

  Eli stood in the school combat training room; he had reserved it to help Aurora learn how to shift at will. And how to fight in wolf form. As he waited for her to show up, he took off his t-shirt revealing his fit muscular chest. Leaning down, he took off his black running shoes, leaving only his orange shorts on. Running his fingers through his short blond hair, he hoped training today would help her get to know her wolf and become familiar with fighting as one.

  Aurora pushing open the large wood door came into the training room. Placing her bag down at the door, she took out a dress for after the shift since her current shorts and t-shirt wouldn’t survive it. Still not fully comfortable with being naked in public like most shifters were. She preferred to ruin some clothing rather than flaunt her birthday suit around. Plus, it wasn’t as if Karis couldn’t just conjure more magically. “Okay, where do we start?” Asked Aurora as she hoped that things went smoother as a wolf than dragon training did.

  “Well, we will start with shifting into our wolves; we can talk in wolf form just like you and Teagan can talk in dragon form.” Said Eli. Aurora took a deep breath; she wasn’t sure if she could do this. The first shift had been unbearably painful. Guessing what was causing her hesitation. Eli stepped forward and lightly grasping her chin, made her look at him.

  “The first few times you shift hurt, but it does get easier, and eventually it won’t hurt at all anymore. Plus, you know how to heal yourself now too.” He said as he kissed her on the nose. Then playfully slapped her ass and said. “Come on, slowpoke. Don’t make me chase you.” He teased as he took off his clothing and in the blink of an eye, shifted really fast. Now a black wolf with a white star on his head. He walked up to her and nudged her thigh. Walking on all fours, he backed up and waited cocking, his furry head to the right side. Gathering courage, Aurora focused on her wolf looking deep inside herself the same way she had for her dragon. Looking deep, she found her dragon she had named purple imp and just past her dragon; she could see her white wolf with black paws. Speaking to her inner wolf, she coaxed her forward. “Hello, my other half I’m here to get to know you and let you have some freedom. Come to the surface, and please be fast, though, so it doesn’t hurt as horribly. Our mate is waiting. “

  At the word “mate” her wolf came forward, nudging against her in greeting. Then it took the front seat as she watched. Sitting back, it wasn’t as painful this time since she let her wolf have all the control. She was fast about it, and that helped. Looking through her wolf's eyes, she could see and feel her wolf body. The way she walked lightly on her paws. To her apprehension about meeting her wolf mate and yet her wolf was attracted to him. Walking forward towards him, she sniffed Eli’s wolf as she walked around his still form.

  He rolled onto his back, exposing his belly to her, and she moved in closer to lick his wolf muzzle.

  “Okay, introductions over, we have work to do.” Said Eli into their bond.

  “Okay, what’s next, then?” Asked Aurora.

  “You learn to rough house and wrestle if you turned when you were a kid as you would have if you didn’t grow up in Midgard than you would have experienced wrestling with other wolf pups.” Explained Eli.” I am going to pounce on you, and you need to wrestle free. “Said, Eli. Aurora talked to her wolf.

  “Don’t embarrass me please it was bad enough getting my ass handed to me earlier today in combat class. You know how to pounce and wrestle, right?” Asked Aurora.

  Her wolf, suddenly, took over and lowered its top half, ass up in the air tail wagging, then pounced at Eli, who wasn’t expecting it. Tackling him from his back, her white wolf pinned him down as she gently yet firmly held him by the scruff off the neck. Laughing internally, Aurora said into their bond.

  “Bet you weren’t expecting that.” Feeling a bit boastful, she didn’t feel him knock her back paw out to the side, causing her to fall off his bigger frame. Before she could move out of the way, he was on top of her pinning her from behind. Oddly it aroused her wolf. Good god seriously, Aurora, your mind has to fucking go there of all places, she thought. He grabbed the scruff of her neck and Aurora could swear she could feel something else. Trying to think straight, she wiggled and squirmed, trying to get free, but all it did was rub her wolf against him more intimately. Her wolf panted softly.

  "Eli, we are supposed to be wrestling, eh.” Said Aurora a bit reluctantly into the bond. She couldn’t help being a tiny bit curious as to what fucking in wolf form would be like. Eli was the only one she had yet to be with intimately. He had held back and not made an advance. Still pinning her down and atop her, his wolf seemed to be struggling with the man within. She could tell by the scent that he was aroused and wanted her. But he held back still. Letting the scruff of her neck go, he got off her but growled as he turned towards the far wall. “Eli, are you, okay you're scaring me a bit?” Asked Aurora.

  No answer from Eli; it was like he was not there. Eli’s wolf turning back towards her walked over to her and licked her nose. Before walking behind her and sniffing her ass again. Seriously man thought Aurora a little annoyed, so she turned around and tackled him. Trying to wrestle the best, she could kick his paws away from her own and trying to remain on top. But like before, his wolf was much bigger than her smaller one. And his wolf once again pinned her. It growled as if it was mad at someone. Aurora truly hoped it wasn’t her. So, she whined a small sound in response. His wolf got off but then went back to her ass and well that area, and he freakin’ started licking her! “Eli, what are you doing?” Asked Aurora as her wolf panted with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Her wolf liked it and clearly wanted to couple with her mate; she was fighting against her to take control. Eli’s wolf climbed on top, pinning her wolf down, and she could feel him at her entrance.

  Half freaking out inside, Aurora didn’t know what to think. This definitely was not how she imagined their first time being. Just his tip entered her, then suddenly he pulled back and ran to the other side of the room. Eli, back in control, shifted back into his human form. Cursing, he was pissed at his wolf for locking him away and wrestling control from him. A war was going on inside of him. He wanted her badly. But he wasn’t comfortable with sharing her with his brothers, and he had never had sex with anyone before. He wanted to take time and get to know her. And taking her animalistically as a first time was crazy. Natural for a wolf but not for his human half or hers. Looking over his shoulder, he could see her white wolf with black socks sitting there still in wolf form, looking at him with her head cocked to the side.

  Shit! How the frig was he going to explain what just happened. It’s not like she didn’t feel the tip of his wolf's member enter. For the love of god, man get a hold of yourself thought Eli as he mentally shook himself. Wow there’s a conversation starter. My wolf wanted to fuck your wolf because he is pissed at me for not having claimed you yet. Our smell is not on you like our brother’s scents are because they have fucked you. Yeah, like that would go over well. He felt like an idiot. Running his fingers through his hair, he felt so angry he punched the wall causing debris to fly. Quickly he grabbed his pants and pulled them on. Aurora, walking closer, licked his hand than in the blink of an eye turned back into her human form. Oh, the saints help him; she now stood before him completely naked. Hot curvy body in all its magnificent glory. And the smell of her arousal. Swallowing the lump, he found in his throat he looked away. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he leaned against the wall and hoped his cock that felt like a rock with a mind of its own didn’t give him away. “I am sorry my wolf took control, and I couldn’t stop him. He’s a bit mad at me for not having been intimate with you yet.” Said Eli.

  Aurora grinned. “My wolf isn’t very happy with me either.” Said Aurora. “I
want to take things slow with you, Aurora. I care about you deeply. But there is a part of me that struggles with sharing you with my brothers. I need to take my time and get to know you better before going further. Hopefully, that makes sense to you.” Said Eli as he worried what her reaction might be.

  Aurora, at first, didn’t know what to think or how to respond. She felt rejected after all here; she was completely naked, and he didn’t take advantage even though his bulge in his pants spoke volumes. And at the same time, she understood he might feel unsure or unwilling to share her with his brothers. It's not like four guys and one her was ever something she fantasized about when she thought she was a human. Heck, more than one man didn’t cross her mind. Until a week and a bit ago, she had been completely innocent of sex and lust. “Okay, no problem.” She managed to squeeze out before turning towards where she had put her bag to grab her dress. She was feeling rather underdressed. Throwing her green dress over her head, she let it fall around her body, and then she slipped black lacey underwear on. Letting the dress fall into place she turned around. “Since we still have time, can you teach me how to teleport, please?” Asked Aurora. Eli finally recovering some after spending the last few moments thinking of horrible things to get rid of his hard-on. He picked up his shirt off the floor and said. “Yeah, I can do that. I’m surprised Karis hasn’t taught you that yet. Okay, the first thing to learn about teleporting. You can’t go somewhere you have never been to. It’s just not possible. And you can’t teleport from one realm to another. Basically, when we teleport, we are moving our physical matter from one point to another. There are two types of portals. There is a wide portal that you walk through, and those take more energy. Then there is the smaller portal where you think where you want to go. Then you get sucked into the reality of being there. “Explained Eli.

  “Okay, so how do I start?” Asked Aurora. “Well, first, I am going to hold your arm, so wherever you go, I go for safety reasons.” Said Eli as he placed his fingers around her arm firmly.

  “Now close your eyes and think of your dorm room and how you want to be there, think of how the room feels, looks, and then imagine your body turning into pure energy that travels there really…” He didn’t even get to finish speaking. They were in the dorm room in the blink of an eye.

  “I did it!” Said Aurora in sheer joy and surprise. “You are a natural. Must be all the lifetimes of practice,” said Eli as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

  Chapter Eight: Discovery’s and lies

  A few days later, after school, Aurora sat in their guardroom.

  “Okay, so teach me how to do revealing spells, please!” Pleaded Aurora. Karis kissed her deeply, holding her in his lap.

  “Oh, but my mind is elsewhere,” he said as he kissed her neck and brought delicious shivers everywhere, he touched. Taking all her self-control, Aurora pulled herself away.

  “I want to learn.” Said Aurora. Karis sat on his bed in the guard’s room, and Aurora now sat on the bed across from him.

  “Well, first things first, you need to pick a wand that feels right for you. Let’s try this wand.” Karis produced a brown wand from thin air, with silver lines.

  “Pick it up and aim it at Teagan’s bed if it’s not the right one we will know.” Instructed Karis. Aurora picked up the wand and aimed it at the bed, intending to lift it. The bed blew apart into tiny pieces. Karis quickly took the wand.

  “Not that one. Okay, try this one,” said Karis as he handed her a black and red wand. She aimed it at the bed in pieces to put it back together. It went up in flames.

  “Definitely not that one. Hmm, try this one.” Said Karis. He handed her a black blue and silver wand that looked very elegant. Aiming at the bed once again, she waved the wand, willing it to fix the damn bed. This time all the pieces lifted into the air, and it regrew the burnt and shredded parts right before her eyes. Until finally, it was a normal full bed as it had been before. Aurora almost not believing her eyes got up and went to inspect it, expecting to see signs it had been blown up and caught on fire. But none existed.

  “Awesome, great job. Now you're ready to begin.” Said Karis.

  “Out of curiosity, why is it you want to use and learn revealing spells?” Asked Karis. Aurora bit her bottom lip and decided to trust him.

  ” In a journal where my past self-wrote to my present self, I told myself that in the box with the journal is a necklace with a rose line key.” She held up the key she wore around her neck that they all had thought was a necklace.

  “I told myself that it does not look like a key, but that is the point. Then I told myself always to keep it on. And to learn revealing spells. It will open doors unseen like a petal opens and give you security at Asgard Academy while you learn. So, I think that it has something to do with a rose, petal and the school. The necklace reminds me of the rose wall in my room, and I wonder if that’s where I need to use a revealing spell.” Karis was now wide-eyed and staring at her.

  “Why didn’t you say something sooner we could have checked it out together honey. Let’s go check it out now. I can always teach you spells no need to wait.” Said Karis.

  “I don’t want to check it out without the rest of the guys.” Said Aurora even though she was bouncing with excitement.

  “I can tell them to get here quick,” said Karis as he smiled mischievously. Loki, on the top of a nearby shelf, called out. “A giant after my own heart! This should be fuckin’ good. I need some popcorn,” Said the troublemaker of a bird. Aurora glared at the bird.

  “Hey, everyone, get to the guard station now!” Called Karis in a panicked voice through their telepathic link. Within seconds all three guys teleported into the room in fighting stance.

  “Where’s the trouble!” Yelled Deacon. Eli was all half wolfed out claws at the ready. And Teagan had a flame in his palms ready to fight. Karis doubled over laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

  “Oh my god, you should have seen yourselves.” Aurora glared at him while trying hard to fight the smirk that was forming.

  “You clearly have never heard the story about the boy who cried wolf.” Said Aurora. They all raise eyebrows and asked “Nope, what’s that story about?”

  Aurora laughed. “It’s a tale for another day.”

  “As you have guessed, there was no trouble, but I would like you guys with us to check something out.” Said Aurora.

  “Okay, we are at your disposal; where are we going?” Said Deacon.

  “To my dorm room.” Said Aurora, who too late noticed he had the wrong idea from his big grin on his face.

  “To see if there is a hidden passage in my room.” Explained Aurora as Deacon's grin became a scowl. Aurora led the way across the hall and into her room, intentionally ignoring Deacons frown. Paisley sat with a book on her bed. Seeing Aurora and her four guys walk in, Paisley asked.

  “Want some privacy; I could make myself scarce.” Offered Paisley.

  “No, actually, I’d love for you to help us explore something.” Paisley's eyes went wide. “I’m not sure if I’m the right…”

  Aurora huffed in a deep breath and blew it out her nose starting to form little fire sparks in her annoyed state.

  “Why must everyone today assume I mean to be implying sexual things whenever words come out of my damn mouth!

  ” I think my past self-hid a passageway here in this room. I am getting my mates to help and hopefully yours to see if we can reveal it and find a way to explore it.” Huffed Aurora as she hiccupped a small fireball that poofed into smoke. Deacon put an arm around her.

  “My little firefly calm down. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to frustrate you” Said Deacon.

  “Hey, I’m relieved here. And yeah, I’m totally in to figure this out, so what’s the plan.” Asked Paisley.

  Karis stepped forward. “Everyone step back! And Paisley, can you lock the dorm room, please. We don’t need anyone discovering us gone or something.” Said Karis. Paisley locked the door. Everyone stood far b
ack near the door, waiting to see what happens next. Karis held up his wand, and blue mist-like magic swirled above his head and then covered the walls looking for any nook or crannies to explain an entrance. A faint blue outline of a door showed up, and Aurora stepped forward. Taking off the necklace, she put the key in what appeared to be a keyhole hidden among the roses that were carved into her wall. No one would have ever realized it was there. Pushing on the door, it wouldn’t move. So, she laid her hands on the stone and pushed still nothing. So, the guys and Paisley all came forward and put a hand on the door with her everyone yelled ouch all at once! “The damn door bit me!” Yelled Paisley inspecting the pinprick on her hand and sucking the spot. They all were now looking at their own hands.

  “Door now codded to your DNA; you may enter! Welcome back, Aurora!” Said a voice from the door. The door opened, revealing a tunnel. Deacon and Eli took the front, entering first. While Paisley and Aurora walked in the middle. And Teagan and Karis took the back, closing the secret door behind them. They walked through a dark tunnel that came to another door once around a tunnel.

  Deacon opened it and yelled, “Karis, a bit of light, please.” Karis waved his wand and sent a spell out, seeking any Fae lights that needed to be lit. The room came to light to reveal an amazing space. It was mind-boggling. A large open foyer that held a gigantic stone spiraled staircase with railings that spanned every floor going down at least four floors. From the looks of it, there were many rooms. The top foyer area here was like a freakin’ library with wall to ceiling bookshelves and leather couches on a rug before a big white fireplace to the right of the staircase. A few moving ladders spanned the bookcases for anyone that cared to climb to check the collection out. Aurora was in pure heaven, looking at all the shear information and potential adventures. And another seating area to the left side. Eager to explore the rest of this palace-like hideaway, she grabbed Eli’s hand.
