The prophecy continues.
Part 3
CHAPTER 4
CLOSER TO THE POWERS
Seth has been at the house all of his free time, he was the youngest of the pack, which helped a little, but with us never aging he would look no older than twenty five as long as he phases, and when he does stop, he and Ashley will grow old together. It also turns out that he's a big help around the house. We still have the nurse, but Seth has always stepped up and took care of anything Ashley might need.
The other members of the pack were moving right along as well.
Quil and Clair are planning their wedding, Quil was another one who imprinted on a very young Clair, she was two years old when he imprinted on her, and they didn't become romantically involved until she was sixteen years old.
They did however move up their wedding date due to them finding out that she was pregnant as well, she is seventeen now, which I didn't much care for, and made me think that I would have to watch Seth like a hawk.
Yes, I know that I was only sixteen when Bella and I were together, and I didn't think anything about it back then, but, now that I'm a father, and if I knew then what I know now, that wouldn't have happened.
If some mother fucker even looks like they're going to touch my daughter, I will kill them right where they stand. Now, I understand why Charlie was such a dick, back when Bella and I dated. I sighed. I was definitely going to watch Seth while he's around my daughter.
There's also Jared and Kim, they met in high school, they were in love a full two years before he phased, and as soon as he looked into her eyes he imprinted on her.
He was really lucky come to think about it. What if Kim wasn't his soul mate, he would have broken her heart if he had met his true soul mate. Thank god that worked out as well as it did.
They've been married awhile now, I don't know exactly how long they've been married but they too were having trouble getting pregnant, but she is now. I think Jared said she was three month along now.
Maybe this prophecy has something to do with whom, and when the imprints get pregnant and if that is the case, maybe that's why Sam and Emily haven't got pregnant yet. The Great Spirit must know who will imprint on whom and they have to wait in line for their imprint to be born…man this is some crazy shit if you ask me.
Then there's Leah, she imprinted on a guy from the Makah reservation, Joseph Farrow, they have been together for a while as well, she hasn't been able to have a child either, but we put it down as her being a wolf, well until the other day when she found out she was with child. She's just a little over six weeks pregnant.
She's stopped phasing until after the baby is born and is probably a good idea.
That's six of us in the pack that has either had a child or having a child.
Then there's Embry, he imprinted on a girl from Forks, she was one of Bella's best friend as a matter of fact. Charlie had come to see my brother Billy a few years ago, Angela came with him.
She wanted to see me about Bella. She wanted to know why Bella wouldn't return her calls. She had said that she had left a number of messages, but she wouldn't call her back.
I don't know why Charlie didn't tell her anything, he knew about the vampires. I guess he wanted to leave it up to me, whether she should be told or not. But I couldn't tell her any more than he could.
I don't know why she would ask me though. I haven't seen Bella in years, well, there was that one time when Lynn talk to her on the beach when I showed up, but it had been years before that.
Anyway Embry was with me, and it was the same story, he looked into her eyes and bam, imprint, so the question of whether Angela should be told about the vampires was solved, and of course the wolves.
After Embry told her all she needed to know she put two and two together and was very upset with Bella. She couldn't believe Bella chose to be a vampire.
The Cullen's moved to Seattle once Bella told them that it was their fault that our gene kicked in making us the shifters we are today, but the damage had already been done. It also didn't stop the fact that they still came around from time to time…hence the visit a few years ago, when Lynn ran into Bella on the beach.
Anyway, Embry said she cried for hours after that, she was so torn up over Bella. Bella wasn't even around, and she was still hurting people. I sighed shaking my head.
Well… anyway, as I was saying, they have two children, although they won't carry the gene as far as The Power of the Wolf is concerned, as none of the other would. Yes, they will carry the gene of the wolf, but unless they are imprints or imprinted on by one of mine and Lynn's kids or their off spring, they won't carry that particular gene.
The purest one of all this, will be B.J. he carries the pure gene of Billy, Lynn and myself. Lynn is the one that carries the special gene the one who will have most of the power.
B.J. will carry both Billy's and my gene which makes for a stronger wolf, but he also carries Lynn's special power gene. Ashley will carry both as well but B.J.'s wolf will be more powerful, his is in a direct line, much like Billy and mine are with the direct ancestral line to Ephraim, our great grandfather.
B.J.'s offspring will be the key to The Power of the Wolf. I could go on forever with this but you get the idea.
That only leaves Collin and Brady, they haven't imprinted on anyone yet, will have to see how that works out, I hope it's soon; they are the biggest whore dogs on the Rez. They're truly enjoying themselves being the only two single pack members not married or involved.
Becham came for a visit. He hasn't seen the newest addition to our family yet. He sat and held Ashley, as Seth walked in and stood over him. Becham looked up at him with puzzlement. Seth glared at him, as a deep growl came from his chest.
"Seth," I said with a warning in my voice, the growling stopped and he looked lovingly at Ashley.
Becham looked at me. "You're kidding me right?" he asked, as I chuckled.
"I'm afraid not, it happened right after Lynn gave birth to her," I told him.
He shook his head, kissed Ashley on the head and handed her to Seth, Seth smiled, and turned to sit on the sofa next to me, and started playing with her. I laughed, as I seen Becham make a face of disbelief.
I also explained to him about B.J. imprint. He was in awe of what was happening on the reservation right under his nose, and never had a clue that it had progressed this far.
Of course he knew of the prophecy, he was Lynn brother and Tatika's grandson as well.
"Who am I to argue with the spirit wolf," is all he said, he stayed for dinner and Seth did let him visit with Ashley for a while later that night.
~Years Later~
Time passed as everything moved into place according to the prophecy, it was like watching a movie playing out, as the children grew older. Our guesses did indeed turn into reality. B.J. did imprint on Hayden, they were inseparable, as Seth was with Ashley. Their caring did turn into love, and turned us into parents that hovered.
It was also time to watch over them as far as their powers were concerned; we knew nothing about Lynn's powers. She was the only one of her kind, and because she was hidden away for so long, it stopped the process, so we had no time table for when the kids might come into theirs, but it was time to tell the kids about The Power of the Wolf, and what was too be expected of them.
There was a knock on the door, I looked at Lynn, and she smiled and told me everything will be fine, I turned and walked to the door, I opened it to find Tatika standing there.
"Hello, my old friend, come in," I told him as he walked in and found a chair and got comfortable.
Lynn ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Hello, grandfather, thank you for coming," she replied happily.
"No problem granddaughter, I am always happy to be of help to my family," he returned.
"Grandfather, It's so good to see you," Ashley yelled, while coming down the stairs. She ran to Tatika and hugged him around the neck.
"Hello Ashley, it's good to see you as well, how have you been?" he asked, smiling at his great granddaughter.
"Fine, grandfather, we've missed you," she replied.
"Well that is good to hear, but I am always nearby, dear child," he told her.
The door opened once again and Seth walked in, Ashley eyes brightened as she ran to meet him. He picked her up and swung her around, as he pressed a soft kiss on her lips. I grumbled at the sight.
B.J. came in behind Seth. He cleared his throat, as they pulled apart. "Okay Seth you want to put my sister down," he said in a stern voice, which made me smile from ear to ear, as I turned so Ashley couldn't see my approval of my son's interference.
B.J. walked past them giving them a glare. He walked up to Tatika and shook his hand.
"Grandfather it is good to see you again," he said.
Tatika, smiled, and shook his hand. "You kids have grown so much, you remind me of your father when he was your age," he told B.J.
"Thank you grandfather," he said finding a seat and sitting down next to Seth and Ashley.
There was another knock on the door. I went to answer it, to find Paul, LeAnn, and Hayden standing on the other side.
"Come in guys, thanks for coming. I thought we could take care of this all at one time," I told them.
"Thanks Jake, I'm so glad you're doing this, I didn't know how to go about explaining it all to her," Paul replied.
"Why do you think I asked Tatika to come, I don't have a clue what to say either," I explained, as we both chuckled.
"You'll do fine baby, Lynn replied, walking up from behind me, and then turned to our guest. "Hi guys," she greeted, as she turned, and run Ashley and Seth off of the sofa and took the seat she just ran Seth and Ashley from.
Ashley and Seth took a seat behind us on the floor in the corner of the room. He put his arm around her waist and began whispering in her ear.
"Why do you allow that?" B.J. asked me with disgust, pointing to Seth and Ashley.
He shook my head, as he looked over and saw Hayden, and forgot all about Seth and Ashley. He took her in his arms, and hugged her, and sat her next to him on the sofa. I sighed for the hundredth time today.
The kids knew a little about things, but not enough to be cautious. I looked at Lynn. She smiled at me and nodded her head for me to begin. Lynn always gave me the confidence to push on when I had doubts, which made her the perfect wife for the Alpha and Chief of the tribe. I stood in front of my family and scoped the room, before beginning.
"Okay, I called all of you together because there are certain things you kids need to know, I probably should have done this before now, but this definitely can't wait any longer. You have to know what has and will happen to you, in your not so distant future." I told them, as I paused, and looked at each one of them.
"Us! Dad can't we do this in private?" B.J. asked. I chuckled, thinking how many times dad had done this to me, not under the same circumstances, but he used to embarrass me all the time talking about private things in front of my friends.
"No son, this does not only concerns you, but each one of you, including Hayden." I told him, as he turned to look at Hayden, as she shrugged her shoulders.
"What about Seth, does it concern him?" Ashley asked.
"Yes, it most certainly does include Seth, but he already knows of this in it's entirety, he is here to support you" I told her, as she turned to Seth, jumping him for not saying anything to her about it.
"Ashley, it is not his place to tell you what I am about to tell you, so don't blame Seth, he loves you regardless of what will happen to you," I told her, as she settled down to listen to what I had to say.
"This has to do with the tribe, and a Prophecy that has come pass, which you all are a part of, we will tell you of this prophecy, and tell you what part you will play in said prophecy, Your grandfather, Tatika is here to do just that, and if you have any question after we are done, then and only then will we answer them to the best of our knowledge," I explained.
Lynn had always been good at explaining thing, but she refused this time, telling me, that I was Chief, and the father of our children, and it was my place to explain this to our children.
It was my idea to invite Hayden and her parents, seeing that one day she would be married to B.J., and deserved to know, seeing she'd be caught in the middle of all this madness, along with the children they bore.
So, I stand here searching for the words to tell my children on how they will turn into giant wolves, and in fact have other powers that come from a gene that is inherited from their mother and me.
