Chapter Eleven
Christian walked up to Anna and stood beside his body. He had a feeling she would need him beside her when she heard his mother's answer. Grace hesitated, neither of them had any idea how much this could spiral out of control. Grace couldn't fathom Anna hurting them, but if Grace was right, Anna could change completely and Christian may not survive it.
"If Anna was able to will something to happen, it requires a lot of power. I don't think she's a witch."
Christian and Anna exhaled.
"Thank God," said Anna.
"You're a Fae," said Grace.
"A what," asked Anna?"
"Some use the term fairies to describe them, but you're kind is a breed of their own," said Grace.
Anna shrunk back a little. There was a combination of fear and anger in Grace's eyes. Anna had never seen Grace like this before. Grace realized how she looked and quickly shook off the frightening things she was told as a child. Anna was different. Grace also knew that the Fae left this realm a long time ago. Some visit, but no one ever had the desire to stay long.
"I'm sorry, Anna. Please forgive me. Fae are not known to be kind creatures."
"So I'm dangerous?"
"No, no," said Grace and Christian.
Christian held his body close and Grace walked up to Christian's body and held his hands.
"You're not dangerous, if you have been living this long as a human; you're more likely a hybrid, like Christian. You're powers won't change you unless you let it. You're strong, Anna. You'll be fine."
Anna nodded her head. She looked down at her body and Christian gave her reassurance. She wasn't alone.
"Do you have anything you can show me? I have to figure this out before something else happens?
Grace gave her a pitying look. All she knew was what she was told as a child and it may not be completely true. She needed to learn from a Fae. She looked at Christian. As Anna's powers grew, she would become a beacon for other Fae. Corin may have more resources, but Grace knew that wasn't an option. She hoped Christian will become open to the idea soon; it would give Anna an opportunity to find out about her people for herself without another Fae's bias. Grace looked around the cabin and back at them.
"Is anyone hungry," asked Grace?
Christian's stomach growled.
"I guess I am," said Anna.
They laughed.
Franklin stood in front of a small stream of water as it flowed in the air and watched the conversation between his daughter and the two werewolves. Unlike his human form, he was a large and muscular man with tanned skin and long black hair. He wore nothing, but a loin cloth and had a large spirit sword strapped to his back. He waved his hand and the stream disappeared. His block was removed and now her powers were manifesting inside her. He thought about the wolf in his child's body and sneered, this was his fault. Now he had to find the right moment to meet her. The realm gates were only opened for so long.
Anna looked at the menu and felt like she wanted everything on it. Werewolves were very hungry.
"Anna, make sure you order a something other than meat so you don't draw attention to yourself, okay," said Grace.
Anna nodded her head. She didn't really want anything else, but she understood why they had to do it. The waitress walked up to them and took their order. Anna ordered double cheese burger with fries. It seemed simple enough. If she was still hungry, they could order something in later. Christian's takeout choices never disappointed her. She was surprised how easy she could hold the large burger in her new hands. She finally was given a perk. She also counted on his werewolf metabolism to eat whatever she wanted. She looked down at the fries, she really didn't want them.
"You don't have to eat them all," said Christian.
Good, she thought.
"How are you doing," Grace asked Christian?
Christian took a moment to think about what he felt. Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to think about himself. He looked over at Anna. He didn't want to upset her. Anna's safety was more important to him than anything else right now.
"It's okay, I want to know," said Anna.
"I don't know. I haven't had time to figure this out yet, but I do want my…"
He looked around the diner.
"Stuff back as soon as possible."
"I want my stuff back too," said Anna.
Christian reached over and placed Anna's hand on top of his hand.
"We're going to fix this."
Anna intertwined their hands and realized she made mistake when Christian's dick became half hard. Screw it; they weren't leaving for a while anyway. She needed this right now. His support meant everything to her. It also made her regret leaving him. He would never leave her unless he had some foolish idea to protect her. Grace looked at them and smiled. She felt the same way about Carrick when they were younger, they couldn't keep their hands off each other when they started dating.
"I'd like to keep this between us for now, if that's alright," said Christian.
"Of course, but I don't want to keep secrets from Elliot and Mia long," said Grace.
Grace lowered her eyes. It was already hard enough hiding her abilities from her husband all these years. She didn't want to have more secrets.
Kate could not believe that Anna stayed with Christian last night. Their on again and off again relationship was now giving her whiplash. If only Anna thought to take her advice about work. Anna was right, once Kate changed her attitude and didn't expect become editor of New York magazine in six months; she was able to see things at work clearly. Was her immediate supervisor still a bit of an ass? Yes, but she knew it wasn't directed at her intentionally, so she focused on her work.
Grace could tell that Anna and Christian had enough to deal with for one day, so she left them alone. Taylor drove Anna and Christian home and would glance at them through the review mirror. Anna's body sat up straight as Christian reviewed his emails on his cell phone. Christian's body leaned back and looked out the window.
"Damn it," said Christian.
"What is it," asked Anna?
"One of my managers is allowing our metrics to fall behind and I can't do anything about it right now."
"What did you plan to do?"
Anna saw a fierce look in her eyes that she did not know she was capable of doing. She wasn't intimidated by that look at all, but that was probably going to be the look Christian planned to give the manager to get him to step in line.
"Do you want me to call him," asked Anna?
Christian blinked.
"And do what exactly," asked Christian?
Anna looked at him and changed his face to match his cool demeanor.
"I read the report today and I find it disappointing. Do I need to visit the site myself and figure out what is going on?"
Christian was in awe.
"I believe it," said Taylor.
Christian glared at Taylor before returning his attention toward Anna. Anna smiled, she knew she had Christian nailed whether he would admit it or not.
"My voice isn't that deep," he said.
"It is when you're trying to intimidate someone," she said.
"When have I ever tried to intimate someone in front of you, Anna?"
Taylor cleared his throat.
"The call won't be necessary; my email should be enough for now, but thank you."
She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. His cock stirred again.
"You're welcome, honey."
"Don't call me honey like that please."
They heard Taylor snicker softly. Christian wanted to say something, but after Anna's perfect impersonation of him and Taylor implying he intimidated him from time to time, he let Taylor's chuckle pass for now.
"So the internet isn't always right, but I should be able to find some idea of what this all means on there," she said.
"It doesn't hurt to try," he said.
Anna leaned Christian's head on her shoulder. She was so needy right now; being this close to him was so comforting. He looked up at her and went back to working on his emails. Even though his head was on Anna's shoulder, it still felt right. She made everything better; it was as simple as that. She sat up.
"Can you do me, my voice" she asked?
"What," he asked?
"Can you do me? Could you convince a person or an acquaintance you were me?"
"I don't care to do that."
"So you can't then."
Christian stared at her. He didn't know if it was the testosterone or boredom that made her act like this, but he did not like how she was goading him. He put his cell phone down and smiled at her.
"No," he said.
Christian picked up his cell phone and went back to work. Anna pouted.
"Good one," she said.
"Thank you," he said.
Anna walked into Christian's apartment first and sat down on the couch. Christian was still on his cell phone reviewing daily metrics and financial reports. Anna exhaled. Christian could be surprisingly boring at times. Her cell phone rang; she took it out and stood up. Christian walked over to his body to see what was wrong.
"It's my boss, Jack," she whispered. "You have to answer it."
He gave her an 'are you kidding look' before taking her cell phone and pressing the answer button.
"Hello," said Christian in a lighter voice.
"Hi Anna, I just called to see how you were doing," said Jack.
"I'm okay, just caught something, I didn't want to spread it around the office," said Christian.
Anna was impressed. His tone wasn't spot on, but it was adequate.
"Can I expect you tomorrow," asked Jack?
"Will I be there tomorrow?"
Christian looked at Anna. Anna nodded her head.
"Yes…"
"Good, I was able to handle things today, but I need you here tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
"Anna we discussed this."
"I'm sorry?"
"I prefer Jack, remember?"
Christian looked over at Anna.
"Of course, Jack. I'll see you tomorrow," Christian lost his façade and made Anna's voice deeper.
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, everything is fine."
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow."
Jack hung up the phone. Christian held Anna's phone. Anna did not like the looked in her eyes. Christian was jealous. What could she do, she had to have him take the call? Anna's body walked toward her slowly. Christian's body took a step back with each movement. Anna's body stopped and handed Christian's hand the phone.
"Who's Jack," asked Christian?
"He's the commissioning editor of the publishing house," said Anna.
Since he had her distracted, he was able to move within an inch of her. Shorter or not, he still could command a room. Christian pulled his body towards him. Anna gasped.
"I don't like him," said Christian.
"Well, I can't help that," said Anna.
Christian smiled for a moment.
"You know you can tell me anything. Is something wrong, Anna?"
Christian saw his head move from side to side.
"I can handle it," said Anna.
Christian looked into his eyes one last time before taking step back.
"Okay," said Christian.
Christian felt Anna's body respond to his body. Christian looked down at Anna's core and back up at his body.
"What is it," asked Anna?
"Nothing," said Christian.
Anna smelled her arousal and covered his mouth.
"I'm sorry, said Anna.
"Don't be, I like it," said Christian.
Thanks for reading! Finally, Anna's identity has been revealed, she is a hybrid Fae that her father left on Earth. What does it all mean? I have some ideas, but I'm still debating which storyline I'm going to use. I'm glad you all are enjoying the switch; I've wanted to do something like this in a story for a while.
As usual, I appreciate your reviews, comments and constructive criticism.
