Kira ran to the corner and cursed at the men who were following her under her breath.
How in the hell had they found her? She was sick and tired of running. She knew who she was and what the spirits had planned for her. It had come to her in a dream when she was very young. It was strange really. Knowing your future yet being unable to really do anything about it. She did not know where to find the people that her destiny was tied to. She was to belong to the New Council and be a mate to one of the Chosen.
Her parents told her that she was special when she was born. Most bear shifters tended to have a deep spiritual connection. Her parents were part of the Yonv tribe, bear shifter tribe descendants from the Cherokee Indians. Kira loved the culture and rich traditions that they had. When she began to be able to foresee the future, they rejoiced at the gift from the Gods. Kira had not. None of her visions were fully accurate; it was as if the Gods had left off part of the puzzle. When she was a teenager, she had a dream that was crystal clear. It showed her with her mates and their new family. A group of people who were united for one cause. For years, she waited for someone to come to her and take her to her new life. She had seen her future and so she refused to become attached to jobs or people because she knew she was going to leave. She became discouraged when years went by and no one came for her. She spoke to her mother often about her visions trying to pinpoint when they would arrive.
Her mates would complete her, and together they would be able to use their powers to help a group of people. She had seen all the people that she would join with over the years. Some of them had found one another, and some of them were still hidden in secrecy, like her, just waiting to be found. Her power did not tell her exactly where the ones who were hidden were, but there were clues, and she wanted to share them with the ones who had already found each other.
Kira knew who her mates were, she had dreamed of them for years. She also knew that they did not know her. For some reason, one was blocked from seeing her, while the other had no clue who she was. She could feel their longing and frustration at times.
When the large one thought he would never find his mate and despaired, she had wanted to comfort him. The other one had more patience, but he was also a little more carefree. It made her laugh because neither had a clue of the power that they had.
Last night, she had had the most erotic dream she had ever experienced. She was surprised that her neighbors had not called the police for disturbing the peace. First, one of her mates had begun caressing her in her dream. She almost felt like he was in the same room as her. He ran his hands over her body, not leaving one inch untouched.
He was very intense and focused on her. Kira felt his determination to make her feel good. He played with her breasts until she had been quivering with need. Then her other mate joined them. He repeated the same process that her first mate had done, except he was a lot more playful. He teased her with his touch and murmured into her ear everything he wanted to do with her. His words alone could have brought her to climax if she had let them. Instead, she had woken herself from her dream wanting to be with them in person the first time they made love. It was frustrating to know they were out there and not with her.
Kira knew the dream had been a changing point of some kind because it had been so intense. They were close to finding her, and she was going to be ready. So when the morning finally came, she called her job and gave them notice since she had enough leave time to cover her expenses for a while. She then called her landlord and gave up her apartment at the end of the month. If they did not come before then, she would move to a hotel and wait. Kira was convinced that she would be starting her destined life soon.
The only thing that bothered her was the shadow that loomed in the background of her visions. She called her parents and explained her dream, of course minus the details, because that would be gross talking to them about her sex life. The shadow had been in several of her visions, but she had never been able to tell who or what it was, even when she concentrated on it.
Her mother explained the reason she was hidden was because of the dark shadow that was surrounding the group. Many dreams showed the dark shadow in the background, waiting and watching. It is what posed the greatest threat to the group she was joining.
She knew the time had come for her mates to find her. They had reached a time of indecision, and she was the one, when combined with her mates, who would help show them the way they should go. She was going to be the guide to the Alphas, a guide from the spirits that would help them on their search.
Focusing on the matter at hand, Kira peeked around the corner and grimaced. There were more now, scouring the street she lived on. Once again, she wondered how they found her. No one was supposed to know of her heritage. A shifter and a Sidhe were a strange combination. Her father had been a Sidhe. He had stumbled on her grandparent's den while on some mission for a Pack leader in Europe. They had been looking for a missing child. Her father lost the trail of the people he was searching for and ended up finding her mother and staying.
Their union was strange, the den elders had approved it because her father promised to remain in the den and not go back to his Sidhe family. Her father taught her a lot about using her Sidhe powers. They were not as strong as a full-blooded Sidhe. She could not flash in and out of places. But she could shimmer herself invisible, which is what she did when a man came close enough to her. She could also read the auras of people.
Over the years, she had figured out what she was seeing, and had been able to tell if a person was a shifter and what kind. These men were definitely shifters, and they were wolves. Their keen sense of smell could give her away if they truly were smart enough to use it.
He stood looking around the street, like she was going to magically appear, which she may have done if she was full Sidhe or stupid. He called to a friend and stood a few feet from her as he waited for his comrade to come to him.
“The Master said she lived on this street. His mole in the Sidhe said that she is the only mixed race Sidhe. She has to be the one the New Council is looking for.” One of them said gruffly.
“Well, we can"t go back empty-handed. He will kill us or worse, make us stand guard for that crazy old bitch that has completely lost her mind. The last guards said they had to go in for tea and pretend to be her son. I will not be demoted to that. We have to find this girl.” The skinnier one said and looked around again.
“She has to come home sometime.” The big one said and then leaned back on the building they were standing in front of and looked up to where her apartment was situated. Damn it, she was going to have to do some fancy footwork to get her stuff out before they noticed someone was in the apartment.
Kira thought about calling her parents, but they would only freak out and demand she come home. It looked like these men were determined enough to follow her where ever she went. She would not put her family in danger. She stood there and thought about what the men were saying and wondered who they already had guarded.
When she was young, she knew that sometime she was going to have to face the people who knew she was special. Her mother explained to her from an early age that she was different. There were no other shifters that had Sidhe blood in them also. The Sidhe did not like to breed out of their kind.
Over the last few months, she had been having dreams, dreams of children born on the first day of every month. Some of them she recognized as those who had already found one another. They were the Chosen. She knew the names of those who had been found, since they talked in their dreams.
The spirits gave each of the Chosen a gift that coincided with the astrological signs they were born under. Something that would help them fulfill their position on the Council.
The Spirits assigned each of them with a specific job, which would ensure the New Council would succeed in their enormous task.
Quin, born in January, was the leader of the Council. Being a Capricorn, he was regarded as the zodiac's leader. His gift was being the Alpha Triad. Thus, having stability and strength needed to lead the Pack and the Council at the same time. As well as being a stable influence for humans to see and would not fear the shifters would try to take over their realm. Because both jobs were of equal importance, the Gods gifted the Triad to help share the duties. Cami, the female Alpha, had a strong personality in her own right. Jaden, the other wolf in the Triad, was also an Alpha. Before coming here, he had been planning on setting up his own Pack somewhere close to here. When he arrived and discovered that he was mated to both Cami and Quin, he had been ecstatic.
They had decided over the last few weeks that Jaden would be the Denver Pack Alpha, while Quin would be the Council Pack Alpha. They would share the responsibilities, but it made it easier on both Packs to have one Alpha to go to.
Jo was born in February. She was an Aquarius, the humanitarian. She was a White Wolf and had the ability to feel the entire Pack and Council, and transfer emotions to calm and reassure others. Once she gave birth to her child, she would receive another gift. None of them knew what it was. She was the emotional balance needed for them all. Tey, her mate would call it a curse as well as a blessing. Tey was the one who had to hold her when the emotions overwhelmed her or try to calm her down when she was high on excitement from all the emotions the Pack gave off. He had done a wonderful job so far, but taking care of the Packs emotional well-being was a full-time job. Tey had to be with her always and so the Pack had lost one of its best Enforcers.
The next was the child born in March, Pisces. This child would be the visionary of the group. They would be the one who had the ideas and ability to see what the future held for the Pack. Though they had the Seer from the European Council Pack, the Spirits intended for this child"s gift to surpass that of the Seer. This person would see the very future of the Council, and the wolf whom Quin wanted found first. After reading the papers from the previous Council, they also figured that he would be the hardest to find.
What they did not realize was that this was her mate. The large man who took life so seriously and needed to gain balance from his mates, and he was right under their noses. She only hoped they realized it soon so they would find her. Her plans were not going as they should have and she was going to have to go into hiding until they did.
Then, the child born under the April constellation is an Ares. This child will be the one who will be the liaison between the humans and the Were. They will travel all over the world promoting the harmony that is needed for both races to coexist. There were more shifters than just the Werewolf, and making the decision to come out into the open was going to be difficult. All shifter communities needed to be involved in planning the Revelation.
After April is, of course, May, the Taurus. This will be the spiritual advisor and historian of the Council. This Wolf will confer with the past notes and make sure the Council is not making the same mistakes the previous Council made. They will record our history as it happens, and make sure that future generations have documentation of shifter history.
The child born in June is one of the most unique among the zodiacs, Gemini, the twins.
This was Reggie and Casey. They will be the only ones who share a month, and will share the seat on the Council. They will be the financial managers of the Pack. Because of the responsibility, and the task being so vast, two children needed the gift. The current Council had amassed a great fortune and the Denver Pack was extremely prosperous. They needed to build more room for the new members of both Packs as well as making sure that each member was taken care of. Quin and Jaden would never allow anyone in their Pack to want for anything. It would take a team loaded with financial people to normally run the funds from a Pack. The twins were going to be in command of the group.
