Chapter 89: St. Helena Falls
Alexander lets out a deep growl and starts running fast in the woods with me on his back. The St. Helena winds blows aggressively in my face as the tall trees pass us by. In all my years of being alive this is by far the coolest thing I've ever experienced.
“This is so cool!” I scream out, the wind rushes in my mouth. “Ewe!” A leaf falls in my mouth, I spit it out instantly. I try to lift myself up a little, but I feel him growl under me, I stay in my regular position.
As if it was slow motion, a blue jay fly right past me. Its thin wings sweep past my face, god nature is so beautiful. The smell of flowers waft into my nose.
Suddenly, Alexander starts to slow down. Usually, it takes like 30 minutes to get to the falls. With him running so fast we got here in the matter of 10 minutes. Gently, he kneels down so I can get off his back.
I readjust my hair as he walks away from me. “Where are you- oh you got to put your clothes on. I’ll just wait- here.” I find my hair wrapped all around my face, quickly I tie it in a neat bun. Alexander comes from around the tree with a white t-shift and red joggers on.
“Someone dressed up nice.” He does a spin for me.
“You like? My mom got them for me.” He smooths down his joggers.
“Your mom buys your clothes? At 19.”
“It gives her a sense of purpose in my life since I mostly do everything for myself.”
“That’s very nice of you.” I pull him gently by his waist towards me. His warm energy surges through my body. We stand for what seemed like forever looking at the waterfall. In all of St. Helena, it’s the prettiest thing here. No one who lives in the town actually comes out here, more of a tourist attraction. Since it's starting to get cold, no tourist have been out.
“It’s memorizing.” Alexander says in awe. I can see a bit of sparkle in his eyes.
“Yeah, I’ve been meaning to paint it for a long time. Just haven’t gotten around to It.”
“Well, you should. I’d love to see it.” He kisses me on my cheek and goes to sit on the grass. I follow behind him, trying to get comfortable.
“So, ask all the questions you want.”
“Ok.” I pull out my notebook and flip to the question page.
“That’s a lot of questions Quinn. I don’t think we’ll be able to get all of them.” He says worriedly.
“Oh, it’s alright we can just ask the surface ones.” I reassure him. “I didn’t want to forget anything so if I thought of a question, it was instantly written down.”
“Sometimes I wonder if I’m dating a 17-year-old or an 80-year-old.” He says gently kissing my forehead.
“Leave me alone bully.” I grumble. “I sometimes ponder on the thought of how we could be mates.”
“Uh mates? Who told y-.”
“-your father. He told me in the meeting, accidently of course, but he told me you would say more about it.” I looked at him with hopeful eyes.
“Yeah, of course. You can find your mate at any time in your life. Mates are their destined soulmates and they are chosen by the moon goddess. We are very possessive of each other especially the male wolves. Mates will be together for eternity, until one dies of course.” My eyes widen when he says eternity.
“Uh....eternity like forever?”
“That’s kind of what eternity means Quinn.”
“So, your it for me. I thought that I would date like 100 guys before I found ‘the one’, you know.”
“You ok with that? Being with me forever.” Oh, crap that came out wrong, I didn’t want him to think that I didn’t want to be with him forever, or regret all of this.
“Yes, you know I am. My feeling for you is strong, and will stay forever.” I hold a firm grasp on his hand. “It’s just shocking to me that’s all, I’m glad you’re my mate though.” I kiss his lips; he smiles against them. I get back to the questions at hand.
“Your father’s the Alpha of your pack. That means you’ll be next, right?”
“Correct.”
“Then that makes me the next Luna.”
“Yes, but no. When our relationship grows stronger, and if you want to, we will marry. Both of us will be Alpha’s, well you being called Alphfina or just Alpha Female.”
“Why wouldn’t I be a Luna? Is it because I’m a human?”
“No, not at all. We belong to a Kingdom, Nygaard. Accalia, who is the wife of the Alpha King, is referred to as Luna. You and her both wouldn’t be called Luna because she’s royalty and you're not. It’s just all about rank.”
“I can understand that. So, when I become Alpha female will I do what you do?”
“Yeah, every decision, law or move that is made will be us, together.” Online it said that women didn’t do anything, the men did. I’m glad that I’ll be able to make decision and be an important part of the pack. “You’ll be an excellent Alpha Female, like my mother.” I can’t wait to meet his mother; from the way he talks about her she sounds amazing.
“I know this is.... kind of weird for me to ask and may make me look like the worst girlfriend ever. Do you have any siblings?” He lets out a hearty laugh.
“It’s just me. After my mom had me, she had a difficult time having more children. But when my father’s sister died, he inherited both her children-.”
“-Greta and Lamon.” He gives me a smile.
“Correct again. In the War of Fathers, their father fought alongside the past King. The result, him and his wife both lost their life's.”
“That’s heartbreaking I could imagine how they felt." I know what it's like to loose parents, both at that. "Greta works at the company with you and your father, but where’s Lamon.”
“He’s in Nygaard, our Kingdom and Capital. Also, up there is Luci.”
“Luci?” I’ve never heard him mention that name before.
“That’s Christian’s mate.”
“And what’s a keeper exactly, like a person who keep’s people or something.”
“Not even close Quinn. A keeper is someone who holds all the information in Nygaard. Not just Nygaard, but all the worlds and Kingdoms.”
“Wait hold the phone. Did you say worlds? Like other dimensions or something?” If he’s about to tell me that like giants and stuff exist, I’m literally going to scream.
“More like just other locations around the world. Such as vampires, witches and such.” I tighten my grip on his hand.
“Vampires....the one with the sharp teeth actually exist. You’ve got to take me to meet one.”
“That I will not do. You do know werewolves and vampires don’t get along.”
“That myth is real?” He nods his head.
“100%.”
“I’m learning so much right now.”
"How many kingdoms are there?"
“8.” Uh that’s peculiar. Last time I check theirs 7 continents not eight.
“Shouldn’t there be 7 kingdoms, since there’s 7 continents.”
“It used to be 7, but about 20 years ago there was another addition, by Yount.”
“Yount?”
“Our Kings brother.” Why would the brother of a king create his own kingdom?
“Ok now you have to explain this to me.” I tell him impatiently.
