A Way to Heal
Chapter Twelve
Jaxon's Face
"I told you Jake, I can't let Tucker die!" I growled. "It's his destiny!" Jake growled. Suddenly Damon entered the small clearing and he saw Jake and I
snarling at each other. "Makayla it is Tucker's destiny that he dies killing the monster," Damon said. I growled at him and suddenly the ground shook
with a rumbling unlike any other. "It's time," I whispered as I looked at a hole opening up in the ground. "It will be alright," I said looking at Jake and
then at Damon. Damon's blue eyes pierced me to my heart. "I've lost Elena and now I must lose you, how is that fair?" he asked looking from me to the
sky. "It isn't fair Damon, but there is no one else for you but Elena. We both knew that we could never stay together it would only last for such a short time.
But everything is okay because one day you will meet Elena again and you will never have to leave her side. Just as I am about to meet Jaxon and when
I'll be in heaven no matter where we go," I said. Suddenly a serpent came crawling out of the hole and I knew that it was the devil's offspring. "You will
not harm my son," I snarled in my wolf form and that's when I felt the power surge within me. "My purpose was changed just as Tucker's purpose was
changed," I said. Then I jumped at the serpent and we battled for the rest of the night, the full moon showing through the clouds every once in a while
to show the gruesome battle that was taking place. Tucker and his pack along with a few others and the vampires showed a little later following the
scent trail of Damon. Finally right as the sun peaked over the horizon I snapped one more time and the serpent fell, dead to the ground. I quickly
got my balance and stood on the ground. My pelt was almost ripped from my body and blood was everywhere. The serpent's body disappeared and
I looked at my peers. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt," I whispered. Then they all watched as my legs buckled from underneath me and Jake rushed to my
side. "No, not her," Jake whispered. I smiled at him and I said, "Thank you for being there for me. For your service there is something in store for
you and your future. You'll fall in love Jake, just be careful." His face looked at mine and he said, "How could I fall in love when you are the only one
that I have ever truly loved?" I smiled at him and as I looked at him a tear slid down my face and then I closed my eyes for the last time.
"Everyone needs to listen!" Tucker hollered out of the back yard. His daughter was eighteen years old and she was a werewolf and an angel as well.
Her mother was a werewolf friend that had went to college with Tucker. Werewolves, vampires, and angels can't age in the way humans do so Jake and
Tucker still looked like they were twenty-one years old. "Grace! Come on!" Tucker said. Grace walked out of the house in a pair of shorts and a tank top.
She looked exactly like her grandmother expect she had her grandfather's almost black hair. Jake's eyes almost bulged out of his head as he saw that
she had grown up in the fourteen years he had been away from the pack. She immanently looked straight at Jake and her eyes lit up with curiousty.
"It's seems father that I have found someone that I would love to name alpha male after you," Grace said. Tucker smiled and looked at Jake,
dipping his head and smiling. Jake stepped toward Grace and said, "My name is Jake; do you want to go out to dinner tonight?" Grace smiled
and whispered, "I would love to." Jake smiled and then Grace frowned. "I've seen you somewhere before. You were around when my grandmother
was around! You were alive when she was born! But then I know one of her sayings; age doesn't matter when it comes to love," Grace said looking
and smiling at Jake. "She was right and she kept her promise," Jake whispered as he proposed to Grace. "I will make you alpha male when my
father steps down," she whispered. Jake almost jumped over the back porch railing!
I watched from the forest beside Jaxon. We could come back to earth as long as we were together and in wolf form. I smiled as I watched my
granddaughter and Jake walking hand in hand down the drive way that belonged to the family for as long as I could remember. "My work is
finally done," I said getting up and looking at Jaxon's face. He smiled and I almost grew wings. "Let's go home," Jaxon said. I grew my wings with him
and we were gone.
