“It’s okay, mates. I will be safe with Feldman. Do not fear,” Lexi
whispered as Saber released her.
“What’s wrong, Feldman? What happened?” Valco asked.
He seemed to clear his head before he spoke. “She is more special
than even I could have imagined. The magic around her, the feel of
the spirits are strong. There’s something else. It’s like an energy
shield blocking her. I recognize it, though. Please give us the time I
am asking for,” Feldman pleaded, and all the wolves could do was
nod as Feldman led Lexi into the study.

Lexi followed Feldman’s directions, lying on the sofa and placing
her arms at her sides.
“I had no idea. It’s amazing, really, because the spirits sent me
here with no information, no hint as to the intensity of this mission. I
am thrilled and honored.”

“Why? What is so special?” Lexi asked.
“You are, dear. I hate to burst that little bubble of yours that thinks
that you are merely human and outside of the circle here. If anything,
you are beyond every wolf, alpha, and fey in this realm.”
“Feldman, you’re making no sense at all. What’s with the mumbo
jumbo stuff? Who am I? Why am I so special?”
“First, I must lift the spell that the family has surrounded you with
as a protective shield.”
“Family?”
“Hush now while I try the codes and call out for help from the
spirits.”
Lexi lay still, closing her eyes and allowing her gut instincts to
lead her. Feldman made a series of hand gestures while chanting in
some foreign yet vaguely familiar language. The more he chanted, the
heavier her eyelids became, and soon she was in another place.
Lexi felt the cast disappear from her arm. Her injuries instantly
healed, and her strength and awareness were remarkably strong. She
felt magnificent and superior, physically and mentally.
Then she saw that she was no longer alone, but surrounded by
other fairies, gods, and goddesses, including Feldman. He reached his
hand out to her, and she knew it was safe to take it and let him lead
her through this vision.
“Lexi, the spirits and fey alike welcome you back, for we have
waited a hundred years for your return.”
“My return?” she questioned, absorbing the sight of such magic
and beauty around them. She felt at ease and completely loved for
once in her life. She thought of Saber, Paul, and Andre.
“Do not concern yourself with the alphas. They are nearby, and
you are meant to be with them. The love between you four is strong
and powerful in itself. There is much the fey want to tell you, so
please allow them to,” Feldman whispered, then released her hand
and let the fairies take her on the journey.

Lexi learned a great deal on the journey. She was overcome by the
love and protection surrounding her. There were no negative thoughts
of her past or the life that could have been if the magic spell had not
surrounded her. She was surprised to find out who and what she
actually was. Although it was bizarre, she accepted it as if somewhere
deep inside she knew it to be true.
“My beautiful Lexi, I have waited to greet you and welcome you
to your heritage. My name is Bethany, the goddess of Vaneer. It is an
honor.”
Lexi smiled at the fairy. Bethany was so stunning and exotically
beautiful with shiny red hair and abundant curls accentuated by a
floral headband. Her eyes of green were like jewels shining in the
sunlight. Lexi stared in awe.
Bethany smiled. “You are gorgeous, more beautiful than
imagined. I can see your mother and grandmother in you. I can also
sense the strength of your father. The gods have chosen well. Now let
me explain.”
Bethany began telling Lexi a story about her ancestors.
“Let me begin with your great-great-grandmother. She was sent to
protect the were pack McFay from annihilation. An evil sorceress
blocked her from returning to the earth because she wanted to keep
the prince of Malan for herself. While stuck in human form on Earth,
her mother, Shilo, met and fell in love with Falkon, the alpha were of
Malan. Though his parents weren’t happy about the attraction, the two
fell in love and mated. Shilo’s powers were passed down to each
female child, but none of the women had been strong enough for the
fey to reveal those powers and remove the sacred shield.
“One day a female ancestor of Shilo and a male ancestor of
Marrokk met and fell in love. The fey believe that, upon the
completion of their mating, the powers of fey were released into the
child she conceived during their mating ceremony. That child was

instantly placed in danger as word spread through the realms about
such a powerful and important child. The fey took it upon themselves
to secure that child and place her on Earth in human form so that the
sanctity of both fey and wolf would continue for eternity. It has been
said that there would come a time when that child, if powerful and
strong enough, would have the capability to weaken the shield,
destroy it, and stand beside her alpha wolves to defend not only the
alpha pack members, but all other realms.”
Bethany was silent a moment as Lexi absorbed the story.
“Your mating to the largest werewolf pack in the United States
could not have come at a better time. Your three Alphas are special as
well because of their strength and their bond with you. There is
danger ahead of you and your wolves. The war has begun, and with
the assistance of an evil sorcerer, one rogue wolf has learned of your
existence. He will stop at nothing to get you, mate you, and use your
powers for evil. It is important that you continue to bond with your
wolves, to learn of the strengths and weaknesses of your powers and
your heritage. Do not hold back your love for them.
“Finally,
Feldman
is
your
cousin
on
your
great-great-
grandmother’s side. He is the closest member of your family still
living and will eternally remain near and in this realm. Jacob, Sierra,
and Troy share the bloodline from your father’s side. They are your
family as well,” Bethany stated with a smile.
Lexi felt tears emerge. She had family, and they had been around
her for years, and she didn’t even know it. That explained the
connection she felt to all of them. Then the thought of bringing them
harm entered her mind.
“Do not fret, dear. You will protect them, and they will protect
you. The Fates are in charge, and news of your existence will be
bringing many to seek you out, greet you, and show homage to you.
Your wolves will be informed and will protect you, for it is a great
honor bestowed upon their pack.”
“I have so many questions.”

“I know you do, and the simplest way for me to answer will be to
open up your mind to all that has occurred. When you awaken, you
