Chapter 115


    Damien’s POV con’d


    I was thinking over all Zane had said as Alora pulled us off in the direction of the willow, once at the


    base of the tree, she reaches up and pushes on a very distinctive knot in the tree, and a barley


    perceptible door opened leading inside the tree, to a massive library, that spiraled up and up. 2


    The tree was a hollowed out circle in the center, the book shelves lining the ‘walls’ from a the ‘floor’ of


    the tree to the ceiling. Each single story level of shelves had wide wrap around balconies in front of it,


    with fourdders that were attached to the shelves and slid side to side for each. 2


    This ce had magic in every single nook and cranny. I saw a painting of Lucian and Luna cuddling on


    the bench out front, in a cut out of the first floor shelving right across from the door way. It felt like this


    ce had been dormant for a while and was sad about it. There was arge carved circle of magic in


    the middle of the floor, I wondered what the spell was for.


    I hadn’t known this ce existed, when she said the mansions library, I had assumed she meant the


    three story library, that was actually in the mansion. How had thise to be here, Alora had let go of


    my hand when we got in here. I look around at the shelves as she goes up the single massive back


    and


    forth stairway that went all the way to the top balcony, she stopped at the third floor. O


    Looking at the cases I noticed all the shelves had carvings etched into them, as did the few rectangle


    top tables set in front of the few couches, with two chairs one on each end of the tables. There were


    only ten of these seating areas. Lucian and Luna’s carvings continued in here on these shelves, and on


    one of the seating sets, the others looked simr, but each carving was different.


    That’s when I noticed the pattern, for each floor there was a painting of a couple, each one had


    different names, and sometimes the male had blue or green eyes, but otherwise they all looked almost


    exactly like Lucian and Luna, like Alora and I, with those same mating marks.


    One table for each floor, one painting for each floor, the carvings belonging to the couples in each


    painting. The first floor represented our first life, the other floors after, represent all of our past


    reincarnations, where we met and mated.


    That means their will be one more floor, created for me and Alora, one more seating set, with our own


    carvings. Looking around this floor I see other paintings, they show the couples in all of their shifted


    forms. Stepping closer to the center of the room, but not in the circle of magic, being cautious of it.


    2


    I take a look at each floor. Each floor had the same type of painting in the same spot as the floor below


    them, there was nearly no difference between the shifted forms in each of their reincarnations, the


    differences kept to our human forms.


    enc


    I didn’t realize I had backed into the circle, till it started to glow. I looked down studying the circle,


    feeling like I needed Alora on this circle with me. She hade down and stood in front of the circle, a


    I hold out my hand to her, she doesn’t hesitate, she joins me in the circle grabbing my hand. A deep


    bell sounded in the air around us, three deep chest vibrating gongs. Then there was shaking as the


    tree shifted, growing another floor, and another seating set appeared on this floor.


    On the top floor that appeared, were shelves, paintings of Alora and I appearing, thedders and an


    addition to the stairway. There were also so many books appearing to cover most all the new shelves.


    Once done the glow disappeared.


    “Our past selves put magic into the circle, when we first step onto the circle, the library will grow by


    another story with every one of our mated reincarnations.” she said. “After, it’s just to feed magic to the


    tree or to transport us to it’s seedlings.”


    A quick sh of some past events came to my mind with Alora’s words. “You would present the


    seedlings to the ruling body of each species that joined us in the fight against the ck Magic Coven,


    their trees should be asrge as this one.” then I started to think about it. “Why isn’t the Willow at the


    Moonstar Mansion not as big, it was nted around the time this one was?” I asked allowed. (2)


    “Fire.” said Alora her eyes were glowing, and had a nk quality to them, like she wasn’t rally seeing


    what was in front of her, but something behind her eyes. “There was a massive fire that destroyed the


    original additions to the Mansion and burned up the seedlings, it killed half the people wo had been


    living there, those who knew how to feed the tree magic perished in the mes, the tree managed to


    escape with some minor charring” the glow in her eyes stopped. 5


    She blinked a couple of times then started off across the floor towards adder, sliding it in front of the


    area she was aiming for, she exined as she did this. “The spells to make the magic in the tree grow


    are on this level” she said, she climed thedder to the top shelf and pulled a dark red leather wrapped


    journal closed with dark leather strings, there was a circle with the tree and a wolf siting under the tree


    imprinted on the front of the journal. (3)


    “This book will have the spells, we’ll do that tonight. I’ll need to take blood from you and feed the power


    from that to the tree.” she said, I was immediately okay with giving her blood,st time had been…I had


    to bite back a growl and shake my head to focus. “That should get the tree to grow at least half of what


    it’s height should be, speaking of which, we’ll need to feed this tree more magic as well,


    it’s about twenty stories smaller then the one with the Dragon King and the Witches Council.” she said.


    Then she looks at the rings on her hands “And I need to store more magic in these rings as well.” she


    said with a frown.


    “However much blood you need from me mydy Starlight it is yours.” I tell her with a smile to my face.


    She looks at me with a half smirk on her face and a quickugh.


    “Thank you my darling mate, I will dly ept your gift my love.” she tells me, her voice soft, love in


    every word, her smile went from a half smirk to a full and gentle smile.


    “Okay I can’t stay quiet anymore, I have so many questions!” Cathel said loudly. (2)


    Alora and I turn to look at him. “Ask away.” I tell him making sure to keep my tone gentle, this boy was


    so curious and good natured.


    He had a hidden and very powerful strength, he was going to train and learn how to tap into it, so he


    could provide protection for those he loved and cared for. He’ll make a wonderful warrior, and the she


    wolf that winds up fated with this little boy won’t be able to resist loving him. ?


    It struck me as odd, myst thought, how would I know he would be fated to a she wolf. Then I saw it, a


    faint red string, it tied Cathel to the pup Serenity carried. Well now I know my brother is having a she


    pup. Wonder if I should tell him…nah, let him find out for himselfter, I’ll tell Alora though. I realized


    that I could see red strings from everyone, and who they were connected to.


    Victor and Jaxon had three strings, one connected them together, the other two stretched out for a third


    fated mate, and it felt like we would be meeting that third fated mate sometime in the next few months.


    Same with Matt and Laurens mates, although it seemed theirs would be arriving sooner than Victor and


    Jaxon’s third. I could see that both Asher and Nathen had two destined mates, they would also beOwned by N?velDrama.Org.


    triads. The beings I felt they were all fated to were powerful, and I could almost feel the time their


    mates would arrive for them. 2


    I had to pay attention and focus on Cathel as he started to fire out his questions one after another


    “What is this tree, why did it grow, how is it you know all this, are those paintings all of your past selves,


    did you know we have a willow at Blood Moon Castle?” his questions stopped when Kass came up


    behind him and pped a hand over his mouth.


    “One at a time so they have time to answer.” She said calmly in a kind and patient tone. Cathel blushed


    and nods. “Okay little brother, I’m letting go now.”


    I can’t help but chuckle at how adorable that scene had been, I look down at Cathel “This tree is a


    Grandmother willow nted by Luna Bloodmoon Heartsong’s parents when she was born, it grew


    because of a magic spell Luna and Lucian had ced inside this tree when they made their space


    here. All those paintings are of our past selves.” I tell him, patiently answering his questions.


    “Yes I did know their is a tree at Blood Moon Castle, Luna’s Father was the first sane Vampire after the


    ck magic blood curse ced on the humans that transformed them into the first blood crazed


    Vampires. The Moon Goddess lifted the curse and created the Sprites because of Luna’s Father, and


    his love of one of her and her Consorts decedents.” getting looks of surprise from those with Vampire


    Blood all around the room. Reminding them of a history that is often forgotten.
