To Be A Queen by K Lime (inspirational books to read .TXT) 📕

"Kristoff i know you want him to be a Were because he looks like you in human form but i don't think he is. He has Were blood, he has Were siblings, and he has Were parents but he doesn't have a Were half."

"Krissy that's crazy maybe he's just a late bloomer or something. There has to be some reason other than that right?"

"There could be. Don't get your hopes up baby."

"I know."

Kristoff hugs her tightly as she hugs him. He looks over at Slade who seems to be watching them intently. He loved his friend dearly but sometimes he did wish that it had only been the two of them without Slade. He knew Slade felt the same sometimes but Krissy did a nice job of dividing the attention between them.

"Slade?"

"Yes Krissy?"

"I know who the rogues are."

"Oh?"

"Yes. Jessica's daughter."

"You're joking. Cassandra?"

"Not joking and yes her."

"That's unfortunate."

"True."

"What do we do?"

"What do we always do, we work it out and if it doesn't work, we crush them."

Slade steps over and takes her from Kristoff. He nuzzles her neck softly and kisses her. He knows she is angry just by seeing light fur pop up on her arms and her eyes change color. Kristoff was the one who knew how to be comforting when she wanted comfort, but he knew how to be  strong for her when she needed strength.

"Slade..."

"Hush love." He whispers to her as he hugs her to him and massages her back gently.

He continues to hold her and talk to her mentally with reassuring words until she calms down. Kristoff smiles at them and takes a picture of the intimate moment.

"What was that for?"

"The two of you looked cute. New photo for the hallway."

"Alright."

"Hey how many do we have of the two of you together?" Krissy asks them.

They both groan knowing there are not very many and quickly set to convincing her that the bell is about to ring. She smiles at them and kisses them goodbye before walking off to find her kids before leaving. She finds Dawson and Alyssa first and talks to them for a while before finding Damien and Daemon in the Cafeteria.

Damien is sitting with a bunch of his jock friends while Daemon is sitting at a table in the back with only a few people. All of them are dressed in the dark clothing like him as well.

"Mommy, why don't i look like daddy?"

Krissy smiles and picks him up.

"What do you mean hun?"

"You all turn into cats. I don't."

"I know honey. I'm not sure why."

"I wish I was a big tiger like daddy."

"Yes Kristoff is pretty big."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"I like it when you wear your wings."

"In which way?"

"Both on you and on you as a cat."

"I like them too."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"What kind of animal is daddy?"

"Do you mean Slade?"

"Yes. That daddy."

"He's called a liger."

"What's that?"

"Its a lion and a tiger mixed together."

"Why are Daemon and Damien lions?"

"Because they got that from your daddy and the color from me."

"But Damien has a orange moon on his head."

"Yes that's right. I don't know. I think both of them got your daddy's lion but they took the cresent color from both of their daddy's."

"So the cresent shows which one is which?"

"Kind of. They are both each of theirs but they are both also not. Do you understand?"

"I think so."

"Alright hun."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Can we go to the park?"

"Do you want to go to the park?"

"I want to go ride the ponies."

"Do you want to ride them in the park?"

"Can we?"

"Of course we can. Which one do you want to ride?"

"FLASH!" He cries happily.

"Alright then Flash it is."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Why is Storm so mean?"

"What do you mean?"

"He doesn't let anybody ride him and he always tries to attack."

"Have you been out there messing with him when I told you not to?"

"No. Daemon, Damien, Alyssa, and Dawson were out there with me. We were petting the horses and Dawson said Alyssa couldn't pet Storm. She tried and he got really mean. She almost got kicked."

"Storm isn't mean honey. He just doesn't like people messing with him that aren't his master."

"So only you can mess with Storm."

"Storm and i have a mind link honey. It's hard to explain. Wait until you're older."

"Is it because you're the queen?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Can we go now?"

"Yes honey want to ride or walk down there?"

"RIDE!!!"

"Do you want to fly or run?"

"Can we do both?"

"Yes."

She shifts and lowers herself to let him on her back. She stands up and lets her wings come out before growling slightly at him. He wraps his fingers in her fur and she takes off making sure not to let him fall.

They reach the banister and she jumps the railing flying down to the first floor and racing out the open french doors in the back of the house. She rushes towards the stable and growls a greeting to the stable hand Elias.

"Hey prince Dyrek, good morning your majesty."

Krissy waits until Dyrek slides off her back before shifting. She leaves her wings out for the moment though.

"Good afternoon Elias."

"What are the two of you up to today?"

"We're going for a ride in the park!" Dyrek chirps happily before racing off into the stables.

"Dyrek wait Storm is loose!" Elias takes off after the running four year old with Krissy now in cat form hot on his tail.

They spin around the corner and come face to face with a terrified Dyerk backing up against the wall and a rearing and stomping Storm. Elias rushes towards Dyrek and Krissy pounces shouting a command at Storm in her head. The angry animal stops and Krissy lands safely on his back in her human form.

"Dyrek are you alright?" She asks getting down from storm.

"Yeah." He says running to her open arms.

"What was he doing out Elias, Dyrek could have been hurt."

"I'm not sure. All of them were out when i got here this morning. They've been playing hard to catch."

"This is crazy why didn't you call me."

"I knew you were busy with work. It's my job to get them in I should have been able to."

"It's alright. Nobody was hurt were they?"

"No. But it was close."

"It's alright. Storm is fine now. I wonder if it was the rogues who let them out."

"I wasn't in the guest house last night I was with my sister at her wedding."

"I know, the perfect time to sneak in and let them out."

"Do you think that is what happened?"

"Yes."

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Can we still go for that ride?"

"Yes honey Elias will go with you to help you with Flash."

Elias smiles at the boy who takes his hand and pulls him back to the wing of the stable where the kids horses are kept.

'Oh Storm what was wrong with you?' Krissy asks Storm in her head.

'Forgive me but I was very upset.'

'What happened last night?'

'Some younger humans broke into the stables and started letting all of the horses in the front free, the ones that are used for training and rides. Some of the kids went by my stall, I am dark enough that they did not see me in the back part and did not hear me either. They released Flash and the others in that wing before they came back here. They let me out but before they did they must have taken Sugar.'

'Sugar is gone?'

'Yes. Elias hasn't gotten all of them back in yet but I know she isn't here. I searched as soon as they let me free.'

'Why do you think they would have taken her?'

'She is very beautiful and they think she is your horse.'

'They think that Slade's horse is mine?'

'She does have her equipment in the empty room that you changed from a stall.'

'And hers is more gold looking. They think that because her equipment had the gold that she was mine.'

'M'lady we have to get her back.'

'Easy Storm, we will get her back.'

'Do you want to go with Dyrek first?'

'Would you mind?'

'Mind? I don't like seeing you on any other. You are mine.'

'And you don't let any other on you either.'

'Never.'

'If i asked?'

'Then I would.'

'You've carried me and another before.'

'Yes.'

'Are you ready?'

'Yes. Let's go get my stuff.'

'Are we going to go directly after this ride or would you like to rest?'

'Time is not to be wasted. She is carrying my son and he is very close. I can not allow them to hurt both her and my son.'

'Light tack then.'

'The black saddle with the silver blanket.'

'Which bridle would you like?'

'A plain one will suffice. A snaffle will work.'

'Alright that will be the black bridle with the silver snaffle.'

'Sounds good.'

They both walk into the tack room holding their things and she saddles him up. When they enter the yard Dyrek is on Flash walking the horse around.

"You are not in your usual tack?" Elias asks.

"Sugar isn't here."

"They took her?"

"Yes. Thought she was mine. Storm looked for her all night."

"That's not good. She's due any time now."

"That's why he's upset."

"Are you going after her?"

"We live almost in the middle of nowhere. I can go over the hills and through the forrest to the rogues camp and take her back."

"What if they fight?"

"Storm and I will be safe. Afterall, none of them can fly."

"I will be here to help Dyrek when you return."

"Thank you."

Krissy and Dyrek set off for the park in a fast walk. They have a nice ride and a few races that Krissy tells Storm to let him win. They arrive at the park with not very many people there. The people that are there either do not pay attention to them or say hello or wave.

They make the round through the park and lope home. They slow down to allow the horses to cool off before they get there. Elias walks out of the stable when they return and hands Krissy her equipment. He helps Dyrek down and they together lead Flash into the stable.

Krissy quickly puts on her equipment and throws the bag down. She grabs the ropes and throws them over her shoulder. No use leaving what they can take.

'Are you ready?'

'Yes.'

Storm rears up with a loud battle cry and hurtles off towards the direction of his love. They fly across the fields at a breakneck speed. When they hit the forrest they can already hear the sounds of horses in the distance.

'Can you hear her?'

'No M'lady.'

'That's alright we can trot the rest of the way until we are closer.'

Storm sets off with light steps but slows suddenly to a walk only a few minutes later.

'We are being watched.'

'By what?'

'Weres.'

'Where are they?'

'In the trees.'

'How many?'

'I'm not sure. I can sense Sugar.'

'Easy Storm
