Seventy-Nine: Discussion

Tye

The six of us returned to my colonies’ lands. Our two groups have become close over the years. I believe the meeting with the pack went well. Over the years of watching this pack, I have learned many things about them. Ilearned that they tried to avoid conflict with other packs. They did have a couple of issues with other packs, and they did go to war with a couple of smaller packs, but both times it was justified. The other packs had attackedthem first. I watched Dustin, Kaleb, Nate, Ashton, and Brighton grow up and knew these five were special. I wasn't sure how. I always had an odd feeling about Kaleb as I watched him grow. I always felt like I knew him, but Icould never place why I felt this way. I knew my colony, which was 200 strong wanted to be part of the pack and not have to hide anymore. We worked in the city, but we lived hidden away. We were currently outside, and theentire colony was there. I wanted everyone to either want this or not. We had been talking for an hour when it was decided that we wanted to be part of the pack. Now it was the six of us. Draydon had gone back to their clanand had the same discussion. Their clan was significantly smaller than ours. They only had 25 members. I knew they were more hesitant, and I could understand why.

“So we have decided to become part of the pack again,” I told Draydon.

“We have as well,” Draydon replies.

I was surprised by this outcome. I didn't think most of them wanted to return to be part of the pack. Our kind had been hunted and exploited, but the dragons had suffered greatly. I knew they didn't trust anyone. They had manyclans worldwide, but they kept themselves hidden and were very secretive. I knew that I wanted my colony to be protected and safe. Kylani and Mykenzie had done that for so long, and I appreciated everything they had done.They did so much to keep both of our kinds safe. I had no idea that they had never told Chris about us being alive and well. I was actually very good friends with Chris, and it hurt when he never came around. I did talk to himthat night about everything, and he told me that his sisters had kept all this to themselves, and he didn’t even know that we were still alive. I told him I wasn't mad, and we started talking like we had never been separated for solong. I am still mad at Gianya and Vincent for sneaking into that meeting. I mean, they were only able to get to that island because of Satyira and Myca. I was sneaking into a meeting just to sate your curiosity. Those kids arenuts. Kaleb is right, thank god Kylani and Mykenzie didn’t sense them as a threat, or things could have ended up much worse. When I told everyone about the meeting when I got back they were excited. We did have a fewfamilies that decided to leave and go to our sister colony that wanted to remain in secret. I respect their decision, and hopefully, one day, the other werecats will decide not to remain in hiding and possibly join this pack. Draydonand the others leave to return home. He told me to contact Dustin so we can talk more about all of this. I unlock my phone and give Dustin a call. I tell him what we have decided on, and we set up another meeting. We will bemeeting at the packhouse. I am slightly nervous about this, and I give Chris a call. I tried both of the girls, but neither of them answered. He told me that Dustin had already told everyone about the meeting. He told me not toworry about anything. Mykenzie and Kylani will be there, and they have already given everyone a warning about being rude or showing any kind of aggression towards us. I laugh at this. I have no doubt that we are going to befine. I was glad to hear that Kylani had finally found her other half. What was discovered at the meeting was a total shock. Chris told me that they had all found their mates. Well, all except Rye, Tyrell, Tarlek, and Brandon. I toldthem that maybe now they would replace their mates.

“Tye when are we going back to the pack?” Einyn asks shyly.

“Soon, probably within the next week,” I tell her.

She smiled at me and left to go to her room for the night. I hope they will be ok with her coming with us. I will probably take her to the meeting just so the pack can meet her. I have kept her safe for years, and the girls don’tknow about her. I leave my office and head to my room. I sit there on the edge of my bed and sigh. I wonder if I will ever replace my mate. I removed my shirt and laid down on my bed, quickly falling asleep.

Dustin

Today is the day that Tye, Mitchell, Payton, Draydon, Blake, and Xion are coming here to talk about joining the pack. I have already discussed everything with all of our parents, and my father agrees that this would be a positivemove for the pack. That's the one thing I love about my father. He has never agreed with the concept that supernaturals should segregate themselves. He has always believed that to have a strong pack, it needs the strongestpeople, and if those people are different supernatural, so be it. Of course, he never expected gods or goddesses to show up. Hell, neither did I. I figured different creatures might be a witch or two but not Kylani, Mykenzie, andChris. Especially when they are the children of our moon goddess, but hey, who am I to question any of this? Mykayla is nervous about this meeting for some reason. I think it has to do with the fact that dragons are coming.“Mykayla stop with anxiety. It's not good for the baby and you are driving me crazy.” Imyra says.

I watch as Mykayla sits down, and Imyra hands her a cup of tea. It is meant to calm someone down. It worked the other day, and it did relieve my stress. I can hear the usual argument between Chris and his sisters. I wouldactually be more concerned if they didn’t argue. We are all making our way to the rec room to wait for the others to show up. I have already let the border patrols know to let them onto the land. I received a mind link telling methey had just crossed the borders. I stand up, take Mykayla's hand, and walk to the door to meet them.

Draydon

We pulled up to the packhouse and parked. We get out of the car and walk up towards the door. I had to laugh about all five of those ridiculously huge beasts the girls have been laying out on the ground. I know why they aretrying to ensure everyone knows this place is well protected. I have known these beasts for way too long to be scared of them. I respect them, but I am not scared of them. I hear Tye and the guys chuckle at sight. None of us isworried. I see Phantom stand up and look at us. I just give him a nod, and he lays back down. I look ahead of us and see Dustin and his mate. I see him shake his head when he sees the beasts.

“Welcome to our pack. Sorry about them.” Dustin says.

“Don’t worry about it. We have been around them for many years. This is just the girls letting everyone know they are watching.” Xion says with a chuckle.

“YOU HAD BETTER FUCKING BELIEVE WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHING!" Mykenzie yells from somewhere.

“Oh for fuck sake. What the hell is wrong with them.” Dustin grumbles.

I hear his mate laugh, and I turn to look at her. I can smell the fae in her, but there is something else about her that I recognize. Dustin introduces her, and we follow them down to a room. We walk in, and there are severalpeople we don't recognize sitting there. Most of the people here I recognize from the meeting the other night; there are a few I don’t, which makes me nervous. We enter the room and replace seats. We did bring the kids with us.Rye had said that his younger sister and Daniylla's younger brother wanted to see our two troublemakers. Plus, they were excited to meet the other kids. Once we were seated, Dustin introduced us to the others in the room.They were the parents of the ranking pack members. This actually didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. We sat there and talked for a while. I did notice that Tye brought Einyn with him. She was very quiet during thewhole meeting. She was normally very shy anyway, but it increased around new people. I did notice her looking around at everyone. I noticed that Kylani and Mykenzie took a strong interest in her. I wonder if they can sensewhat she is. I really hope that this pack can accept her. She is one of the last of her species.

“Tye, who is this beautiful woman with you? Is she your mate?” Mykayla asks.

“No, she is not my mate. This is Einyn.” He answers.

Einyn looks up at Mykayla and I see Kylani’s eyes flash green. Yeah, they have realized what she is. I know I don't have to worry about them. In fact, they will protect her just like they did us. It's everyone else. We have beentalking now for a few hours when Einyn falls asleep. She probably had nightmares last night and didn't sleep well. They offer her a room to sleep in, but Tye declines, and he places her on a small couch.

“How did you replace her?” Mykenzie asks.

“We didn't replace her. She was left on the porch of our house when she was 3. I couldn't care for her, so I contacted Tye and he took her and raised her.” I explain.

“All that was with her was a note to keep her safe,” Tye says.

"What is she?” Nate asks.

I hear Kylani and Mykenzie let out a growl, and I know they don’t want us to reveal what she is. I also notice Brandon step in front of her in a protective stance. I wonder if he is her mate. I look at Tye, and he has the samesuspicion. I notice that the others are surprised to hear the girls act this way towards the question. I look at them, and they give me a nod. They are not happy but realize that we need to tell them.

“Einyn is a hybrid. We believe her father was a warlock.” I say.

“What is the other half?” Nymyra asks.

“Her mother was a unicorn. They are extremely rare. Even rarer than us dragons.” Tye answers.

I hear a few gasps, and I see mostly looks of shock. No one has seen a unicorn in over 1000 years. I personally know of three worldwide. I am sure there are more, but they are even more secretive than us. Even all thoseyears ago, their species was never high in numbers, but the hunters started going after them mainly to sell them to collectors. We explained that we searched for her parents, but we could never replace them. I tell them that I havea feeling her mother is probably in someone's collection of supernatural creatures, so to protect her, he left her with us. We have never figured out which coven her father belonged to.

“I might be able to help. My mother is a vampire. One of the men in our coven is married to a witch. All I need from her is a blood sample and she might be able to trace her lineage.” Nymrya explains.

“That can be arranged. It would be nice to know at least part of her parentage and who they are. I think her father is probably dead. There was a warlock that was found dead not too long after she showed up but the bodydisappeared before we could confirm it.” I tell them.

Kylani and Mykenzie warn them that this needs to stay with these walls. Not so much about her being a part witch but the other. I think these guys understand the importance of this. If she is found out, many people would wanther. It is decided that we can move into them once the old buildings on the old pack lands are remodelled or torn down, depending on their condition. Dustin says that they will be building more on this land, so there will beadequate housing soon. I let him know that we could help with the construction. We leave the pack at about 4 pm that afternoon. It was a very productive meeting, and I am happy with how it went. I feel good about thisdecision. Tye and I will be coming back tomorrow to discuss this more with them. They want us to bring Einyn with us. I was surprised when Brandon was talking to her and that she actually talked to him. She usually didn't. Ihad to smile at them. I really do think that she is his mate. I dropped Tye and Einyn off at their place and drove back to mine. I get out, and who is there? Kylani’s great beast of a pet. I just look at Phantom and nod. I know theyroam the old pack lands, especially after what we found out today. I can't believe those two are still alive. I walk into the house and to my room. I sit on my bed and run through everything in my head. I think Rye’s younger sisteris my mate. I got a strange feeling about her when she showed up at the meeting the other night. When she walked in today, I got that same feeling but stronger. I wasn't sure how this was going to work. I would need to talk toRye and tell him. I just hope he doesn't freak out. I guess we will see what tomorrow holds.
