    Chapter 4

    Im right here, dont talk as if Im not here damn it! What are you on about

    Mother? Morgan saved my life. Aura was so angry, her hands closed into fists, they

    had some nervetalking as if she was not here, ignoring her as yesterday news.

    I told you your mother wouldnt be happy. Morgan came to stand behind her,

    holding her protectively against him.

    Aura, Morgan is the High Guardian. Hecate said seeing her daughters face

    acquire that look of surprise and then anger she knew so well.

    Aura turned in Morgans arms and looked up into his face, his eyes were cold

    and that said it all, You why didnt you tell me that youre not only a guardian that

    you are the Guardian, you let me go on about my powers when you knew that on my

    own I would fail again against him. She tried to get loose from his embrace but he was

    too strong.

    No, not true you will help me defeat the Shadow, you have done it before, you

    know his weakness and I need you. He said gently holding her closer for comfort.

    Hecate looked surprised at the scene going on before her eyes; her daughter was

    involved with a Guardian and for what she could see, he was in love with her, although

    she knew Aura would have a hard time admitting that she was also in love, she knew

    one thing about her daughter and that was that she did not do things lightly the

    connection Aura felt with him must be very strong.

    Sorry to interrupt the prelude there, but you two have to get something straight,

    you are my first born Aura, even if all throughout your life youve denied it you will be

    the one to take my place.

    Aura knowing where that was going interrupted her, No Mother, you have

    always thought I would take your place but Asia is the one that has all the knowledge it

    doesnt matter if she is the youngest, the throne will go to her, she is a pure blood and I

    wellIm not. Aura said adamantly, shocking Hecate into a complete silence.

    What does your mother mean? Morgan asked suspicion making his heart

    clench with fear that he might loose her even before he had her.

    As Goddess of Witchcraft my mother is Queen of the Magical Realm, I didnt

    tell you because it has no influence in my decision making, she is just my mother. Aura

    muttered feeling uneasy with his stare.

    You resent the fact that Im a High - Guardian but you didnt think about letting

    me know you would someday be Queen? he threw at her stalking back to the bedroom

    leaving a speechless Aura behind.

    Hecate laughed First lovers tiff! Dont worry; its normal especially if you take

    after me! Aura glanced back at her Mother furiously Thanks a lot! and with that she

    banged the bedroom door shut behind her, Hecate stood there smiling until Mrs. Ingram

    came back with her tea, Madam, Aura Mrs. Ingram didnt know how to say to a

    mother her daughter had lost her innocence,

    Yes, I know. It was meant to be, it was written that my first born would be part

    human and that she would defy me every chance she got, she is a powerful force of

    nature and the guardian is smittenthe light shall come forth from the darknessI

    really hate the Fates, only now is it making sense.

    Hecate smiled a secret smile, the fates had done it again, and she should have

    known they would ensure the continuation of the line, even if against her wishes, she

    only hoped Aura would find happiness.

    In the bedroom, Aura stood looking at Morgan Could you listen to me,

    please?Aura asked thinking on how to explain that her Mother liked to piss her off for

    no good reason.

    Im a guardian and you will be Queen, what kind of chanceno lets not go

    there. He said avoiding her eyes so she could not see the sadness and rage that grew in

    his heart, the beast wanted release, if she didnt know he loved her he would be better

    off.

    He was glad she did not know what he was, that way she couldnt hurt him

    anymore than he had already been hurt when Hecate had told them more for his benefit

    than that of Auras of what was expected of her, it was true he had no rights over her,

    but his heart didnt think that way and the beast in him would never let her go, not after

    last night, it wanted to stake its claimbut now he would never do it, she would never

    belong to him, he had no hope, he had lost his heart.

    Didnt you hear anything I said, Im never going to be Queen, I dont want to,

    my sister Asia is perfect for it Im not, Im an outcast, a loner she said coming closer

    to him smoothing his t-shirt, he looked better with no clothes on she thought, feeling her

    heart clench with the possibility that he might not want her, that he was just having a

    good time as the humans often said no strings attached she felt the rage build and her

    heart turn to stone.

    I dont think so, you will make a beautiful queen, you are wise and kind, and

    after we defeat the Shadow youll no longer be an outcast. He said stubbornly not

    wanting to believe that she might love him enough to renounce her throne, it had all

    happened so fast.

    If you think that way, there is nothing I can do. She said her head down not

    believing she had made the biggest mistake of all, falling in love with someone that

    didnt really even want her.

    He walked to her lifting her chin and gazing deep in her eyes, It was not meant

    to be, you and I, but for as long as we are together we will be one. He dipped his head

    down his hair touching her face as he gently kissed her lips, salty from the tears she was

    soundlessly crying, he savored her slowly and deeply, caressing her face and whipping

    away the trace of tears, the sweetness of the moment like nothing she had ever felt.

    Yes, I believe we will always be she murmured but Morgan didnt hear her,

    he released her as if he had just been burnt, Lets go, your Mother is waiting, we need a

    plan of action, the Shadow is going to try and get you before the shifting.

    Aura felt powerless, but she knew what she had to do, protect her heart and keep

    it safe from being hurt again, loneliness as always would be her solace and her comfort,

    as Morgan had said, it was not meant to be.

    Her heart heavy Aura looked at Hecate silencing her mother with just one look,

    as Morgan started speaking, We need to act fast, the Shadow is not dumb, and its not

    going to wait until after the shifting, we need to get Aura to the Magical Realm, she can

    shift there. Morgan realized he was not in a position to give out orders especially to a

    Goddess and Queen, but he desperately wanted to protect Aura and the only way was if

    she returned to their world or stayed with him.

    I see Dagda as yet to teach his guardians some manners! she said looking at

    him sideways.

    Mother, please dont start, I think Morgan is right, but Im not going back,

    thats what the Shadow is expecting me to do, to cower and run back home, Im

    staying. Aura said looking from one to the other to see their expressions.

    You dont mean that, I cant be here for long, you need protection daughter,

    dont do this to me Aura, I would not bear to lose you. Hecate said coming to hold her

    closely kissing Auras forehead gently combing her hair, thinking how changed her

    precious daughter was, and for what? A guardian that was half-beast? The fates did

    know how to screw things over, big time.

    Morgan was at a loss for words, he had given her the easy way out but she had

    chosen to stay with him and fight, because it would come to that, they would have to

    fight for their lives, Aura you have to go, I know it would be a lot easier if I had you by

    my side, but I can handle this. He said taking in her subtle change when she heard him,

    as if she was cringing inside.

    Yes, I could go couldnt I? But I wontI need to do this for myself as much as

    I need to breath, its become vital to my existence that I destroy this Shadow before it

    destroys that which I love in lifewouldnt you die for those you love? she asked

    looking into his eyes the depth of her pain something he knew only to well.

    I have no one. The curt statement surprised her so much she stepped forward in

    order to offer comfort, holding his hand, You have me. No matter what happens you

    will always have me. She spoke looking him straight in the eye not giving him a

    chance to deny the bond they had forged between them in the short time they had been

    together.

    Hecate was more than surprised at the depth of feeling the two of them seemed

    to share, and how unaware of it they seemed to be, maybe the Fates hadnt been wrong,

    Ok you two, I believe my stubborn daughter will not do as I ask, but still Ill ask you

    both to be very careful, the balance is at stake here, not just you, but both worlds, we

    cant afford to fail this time she looked worried at the prospect of losing her daughter

    but the Fates would not put her in harms way if they didnt have a backup plan, you

    could always count on them having a backup plan.

    Mrs. Ingram who had stood in the background listening and observing

    attentively to everything that was going on cut in, I think I know how we can lure the

    Shadow out.

    Three pair of surprised eyes jerked to look at her, You do? they all asked. Yes

    and please try not to sound so surprised, humans are known to be intelligent. she teased

    laughing at their open mouthed look.

    We have to pretend Aura is going back to the Magical Realm, prepare

    everything and make enough of a fuss, so the Shadow knows we are leaving, the trick is

    to get it close to the Portal because that way it will be weaker from the pull the Portals

    have on you. She explained as if she had been thinking about it for a while.

    Brilliant idea, it might just work, provided the Shadow is dumb enough to

    follow us. Morgan put in trying to keep them close to the reality that there was a

    possibility that the Shadow would not fall for such a trap.

    I know the Shadow, he is eager to get his paws on me, the quicker the better,

    the last time he was lucky, this time Im not leaving anything to chance Morgan will

    be there, even without my sisters help I really think we can defeat it, he has grown

    reckless in his eagerness to kill me and Morgans Medallion is made of light, its going

    to be hard but Im sure the Fates want me to survive this, even if it is to screw my life at

    a later stage. Aura said convincing Hecate she would no longer need her supervision.

    Watch your language, your Godmothers do not like it when you swear,

    especially at them, could you at least have some sense of self-preservation? Hecate

    admonished her, knowing it would be useless.

    Come on, you know them as well as I, who tells the truth deserves no

    punishment, besides they love me as much as I love them. Aura said looking at Morgan

    who was only now realizing she was goddaughter to the meanest goddesses in history;

    the same Goddesses that had made him take the beast in order to grow more powerful.

    You have to be kidding! he jerked back away from her, Nope, they really are

    my Godmothers, that does not mean I escape the web of life, on the contrary I am more

    controlled because of that, they probably knew about you long before I did, know I

    understand their smug smiles every time I said I did not want a man in my life. Aura

    mumbled understanding the game they had played with her and how she had played

    along, how dumb could you get? They had been preparing her for the moment she met

    Morgan.

    Hecate reading Auras reaction as she understood what the Fates had done tried

    to minimize the impact, Aura do not go there, you know that every decision you have

    made in your life has been yours and yours alone, you have gone against me, against

    your sisters, you chose the path you took, not themfortunately it lead you where you

    should be, it often doesnt, thank them for that. Hecate looked at Morgan who was

    looking forlorn, and withdrawn, as if there was something he wasnt saying.

    It is time for you to leave Madam. Mrs. Ingram said looking at Hecate, Yes I

    know, please make sure you defeat the Shadow, and show no mercy. She said looking

    at Aura who was now standing close to Morgan; it was obvious they fed each others

    power, Aura knew nothing of the beast he held inside and it really didnt matter because

    if everything went according to plan, she would never need to know.

    Ill be waiting for the time when you want to come home, please keep me and

    your sisters in your memory, we love you, when the time comes and you are ready,

    well be waiting. The trace of tears something alien to a Goddess, but not to Hecate,

    marred her beauty as she turned to leave, Aura gave a strangled cry and run to her,

    Thank you, mother; I will not disappoint you this time. She said hugging Hecate

    strongly who caressed her hair gently and said in her ear, You have never disappointed

    me, nor could you ever do it, take care. She turned looking at Morgan.

    I know you hold secrets within you nobody should have to hold, but now you

    have my precious daughter to help you unburden them, do it, you know what you have

    to do. And with that she went, Mrs. Ingram taking her to the Portal that opened in her

    bedroom and that no one knew about.

    So thats how she got here so fast. Morgan observed, Yep, the Fates made it

    for me, so when I feel like seeing them I always can. Aura smiled sadly thinking of her

    sisters fighting alone against the Shadows on the Magical Realm, she wished they were

    Ok.

    Morgan sensing her thoughts snuggled closer to her holding her strongly in his

    arms, making her feel safe, Dont worry, the guardians will help your sisters I know all

    of them and they are good people, people who like you and who love the Magical

    Realm and will give their lives to keep it safe. He bowed down to kiss her lightly, as

    she felt his lips, passion ignited inside them, she deepened the kiss, hands up and down

    their bodies, they needed to feel alive, to feel like they were needed by someone, the

    passion frenzy took them to the sofa, clothes flying everywhere.

    I love the way you smell, I just want to gobble you up. Morgan whispered

    spreading feather light kisses along her jaw line, nipping her chin and coming up an

    inch to devour her lips, biting gently, her response was so spontaneous and fiery, he just

    could not have enough of her, it was like a thirst and no amount of that fiery woman

    would be able to quench it.

    I want to feel you inside, deep inside me, I want to forget, please make me

    forget. Aura pleaded as she rubbed up and down against his already naked torso, he felt

    so male against her soft skin, and she had never known such immediate combustion, as

    she gently opened his fly so not to hurt him she felt him come alive in her hand she

    stroked his velvet shaft, wanting to kiss him, she started slowly, she took him in her

    mouth, licking and stroking, Morgan was going crazy with pleasure.

    You are the most wicked temptress! he said stretching with pleasure he was so

    close to coming but he wanted her tightness around him, taking him over the edge, he

    brought her up to kiss her and quickly spread the kimono aside to gain access to that

    glorious place of pleasure, he heard her gasp as he ripped her panties and pushed two

    fingers inside her core to feel if she was as ready for him.

    Please, no more I need you. Aura begged moving up and down on his fingers,

    he withdrew and laid her back on the sofa, the beautiful green kimono flowing to the

    ground making the scene even more erotic if possible, her skin was the most delectable

    thing he had ever tasted, she moved so beautifully and her face changed as the pleasure

    grew inside her, her eyes changed color to a misty grayish blue when she was falling

    down into the tormenting pleasure she now knew would come with that frenzied love

    making, as he placed himself at her opening she caught his face with both hands and

    kissed him tasting deeply, their tongues dancing, she gasped as he entered her and

    everything froze in that amazing heart stopping second, and then all hell broke loose,

    because the need overwhelmed them, when they climaxed together.

    Aura thought that if she was going to die, she might as well do it nowit was

    soul shattering when she realized that whatever happened, there was no going back, she

    had fallen in love
