The Ebony Alpha Ch. 17

"Is this my wolf Hosuk?" Megan asked in awe.

The beast was startling in its beauty. The white fur swayed with each movement and the red fringe on her tail and paws gave her kinship to Megan.

Hosuk nodded and Megan walked closer to the animal.

"She is so beautiful Hosuk, but I thought my wolf would be the color of my hair." Megan said confused.

"The white fur stands for purity and the red fringe your virgin sacrifice. She is waiting for you to acknowledge her, she is ready to meet Jackson and finish your mating."

Megan walked over to the majestic animal and sat in front of her counterpart on her knees.

"I am very happy to meet you my wolf. I want to be one with you but I don't know how."

"Touch her Megan and give her permission to join you. She will do the rest. It is instinctual and your animal knows what must be done."

Megan leaned forward and placed her hands around the white wolf's neck.

"Closer Megan, hug your animal let no light come between you!" Hosuk encouraged.

Megan took a deep breath and embraced her beautiful alter ego. Her hands pressed into the soft fur and she inhaled its scent into her mind.

A blinding white light flashed before Megan's eyes, and she slowly felt her human side become smaller as her wolf enlarged.

It was all too much for her and she closed her eyes giving in to the peace sleep could bring.

As quickly as the lights had gone out they came back on and Jackson ran to Joe's room. The door was no longer locked and he raced into the room looking for his mate.

He saw the white wolf on the floor and fell to his knees in wonder. Megan was breath taking in her wolf form and he sank his hands into her luxurious fur.

Thank goodness; she was still alive and was only sleeping. Jackson scooped Megan into his arms and held his mate to his chest.

He looked up as Louisa walked past them to get to Joe. Sitting on Joe's bed the strong woman burst into tears. Her sobs caused Joe to awaken and he slowly opened his eyes to see his beautiful mate in tears.

"Don't cry Louisa I feel great. I'm sure I'll be out of here in no time." Joe pulled Louisa into his embrace and kissed her cheek.

"You are going to upset the little one, now come on no more tears alright." Louisa calmed slightly and kissed Joe deeply.

"I was afraid that you were going to leave us my mate." Louisa said between kisses

"As stubborn as I am, I would never leave you in a million years." Joe couldn't believe he was sitting here teasing his mate.

He only remembered the burning sensation that filled his heart as blood covered his chest. His last memory had been the look of utter disbelief in Louisa's eyes as he fell to the ground.

He was beginning to think that being in North Dakota was detrimental to his health. It was time to go home. Joe knew that his Father was beyond angry at him for not asking him to come out before the trial.

He would face him soon enough, but now he had to convince Louisa that they needed to go home sooner than planned.

Lefyr stood very still. He didn't want to draw attention to himself. The man Joe Chambers had been healed and the power of the Luna Stone had proved itself once again.

But it was destroyed how could he take a pile of rubble back to Liosalfar for the Elders to see? The hospital room was now empty and he stood looking down on the priceless relic at his feet.

Sighing he bent down to pick up the pieces as it were, to take home. When he had all the pieces of the stone in the palm of his hand he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

He doubled over and the burning sensation filled his entire body. His powers were returning. This left no doubt that he would return home soon.

His eyes locked onto a pair of piecing blue ones and his blood boiled in spite of his cold demeanor.

Penelope Clarion was staring at him and she was nothing if not beautiful in her confidence. The small woman walked toward him with determination in her stride, never breaking their gaze.

"I feel a power in you Lefyr, is your time here at an end?"

"I think so. A portal will open and I will only have to walk through it to arrive back home."

"And will you go alone, dear Lefyr?" Penelope's voice was so low that a mere human would have never heard her question.

But Lefyr heard her words, and felt all the emotion behind them as well. His heart seemed to ache with need, and the loneliness of his exile hit him full force.

He could feel himself drawn to Penelope, she was beautiful but that had nothing to do with it. His soul was reaching out to hers.

He had never felt this way before. When he thought back to his feeling for Serena it was mere infatuation. He felt that if he ventured too far away from this small woman he would feel pain.

"I do not wish to remain in this world Penelope. Would you be willing to following me into the unknown? Are you sure that I am your mate?"

"My wolf is sure and that is all the proof that I need. She has never led me down the wrong path. It seems that my next path is in Liosalfar."

Penelope moved closer to the man of light and held out her small hand. The power radiating off of his person was frightening and she felt small in its wake.

Lefyr pulled Penelope into his arms and her wolf howled in fulfillment. The power of her wolf shook Lefyr and he looked at the small woman intensely. Her eyes were pools of passion and her lips trembled with desire.

He felt a weight lifted off of his shoulders and held Penelope closer inhaling her scent, a heady mix of orchids and jasmine.

"Let me tell you of my world little Penelope. It is green, so green that you would think it is perpetual summer all of the time.

My family is the ruling one at this time and my father is King. My mother may get on your nerves, but be patient with her my little one, she has been waiting for me to find love for many long years."

"I will try Lefyr. I will need you to stay close by my side and make sure I do."

Lefyr smiled at the thought of keeping Penelope by his side and pulled her closer.

"I think I can handle that."

Matt motioned for Jackson to follow him to an adjacent room so that he could examine Megan. Jackson placed Megan on the examination table and looked at her with love.

His mate was beautiful in either form and her wolf had him mesmerized. From the pink tip of her nose to the sexy pads on the bottom of her paws she exuded loveliness.

"Alpha she just seems to be sleeping. I would venture to guess that the stress of everything that has happened has taken its toll on her." Matt put his stethoscope back around his neck and spoke quietly to Jackson.

"So all I have to do is wait and she will wake up as after a nights rest?"

"I think so Jackson. But she is a new wolf; she may require help transforming back into human form."

"I understand Matt. I will inform you if we need your help. May I take her to my room?"

"Yes Alpha I am sure you both will be more comfortable there."

Jackson lifted Megan into his arms again and left the room. He nodded to his family and pack members around him as he headed upstairs.

A small omega waiting outside of the Alpha Suite quickly opened the door and let Jackson into the suite.

Breathing a sigh of relief Jackson placed Megan on the soft rug in front of the fireplace. A smile fire was already started so he shed his clothes, shifted into his wolf and joined her.

Her sweet scent was even stronger and he snuggled his larger body around hers as he tried to sleep.

The picture they made was that of yen and yang. They were a picture of black and white, two halves of a whole.

He'd waited so long to have Megan to himself and now their night had been interrupted. He tried to settle his thoughts but soon gave up and his mind turned to the fugitive.

Fabio Marconi would be put on the back burner for tonight, but soon there would be nowhere he could go to escape.

Fabio Marconi would pay for his actions and he would make sure of it. He had friends all over the world and Fabio would have to go to The South Pole to flee from capture.

Smiling at the thought, Jackson hoped that he would. There were a few of his friends that were very adaptable to cold regions and he could send them his way.

"Fabio Marconi you better keep running for your life." Jackson thought as he closed his eyes to try sleeping once again.

He buried his nose in Megan's furry backside and settled in. He felt confident and strong as he scented his mate.

He was happy Joe was healed and then he remembered Raphael's words to Louisa. She was pregnant.

The Elder Council would be angry about that. But there was no need to worry; according to Luna's message the current Elder Council was no more.

Smiling Jackson fell asleep wondering what the new day would bring.
