Chapter 10
"Misunderstandings"
True to her words Amanda stayed at arm's length with every person on the Christmas celebration, even when she met Natalya, Vikirnoff, Colby and Rafael, she was still distant. The same happened with Skylar, her mark throbbed in presence of all those dragon seeker women, and Amanda's heart rejoiced to see she wasn't alone in the world after all. She had a family, a very large one, Natalya in particular was expecting a child for the next fall, and just the thought of it made Mandy swell with hope and pride, they weren't evil, they were powerful, strong and beautiful, each and every single dragon seeker woman … and she was part of that clan.
Now Amanda hoped to meet the mysterious Dominic Dragon Seeker soon, he was supposedly the oldest on their bloodline, and he was looking forward to meet her as well.
"It's amazing that the only redhead male around is Tristan." Amanda said in a matter of small talk as she braided Maria's hair. They were all gathered to wait until midnight, time in which Santa-Dayan would bring the presents.
"Well, he's not the only one," Natalya said cautiously. "Razvan was also a redhead."
"Was he? What color were his eyes?" Amanda asked her anxiously, confirming that he may be the man that haunted her dreams.
"Green, like mine, he was my brother." Natalya admitted as she clung just a little closer to Vikirnoff. They weren't sure that the man was dead, and pregnant Natalya would go nowhere to check if they were wrong.
Amanda stopped braiding Maria's hair for a second; she just stared at Natalya and thought that maybe Razvan was still alive, and the thought of it petrified her.
Tristan sensed her pain and sent her a warm hug, he had gone to hunt, but he was never completely out of her mind, not anymore, they had created and established their private path, and they would communicate through it as often as possible.
I would never let anything happen to you, don't fret, Amy. You are safe with me.
I know, Tristan. I just worry for all of us dragon seeker women. Do you understand the implications of Razvan and Xavier been alive? I can't even imagine the dangers, they are vicious creatures.
Trust me, Amy. Not a single male Carpathian will hesitate to kill them, if they attack us, they'll feel the wrath of a dozen ancients. You know we'll stop at nothing to protect each and everyone of you.
Don't pay attention to my silly fears, I'm just anxious, I'm going to go get our act ready. I'll meet you as soon as you come. Amanda suggested as she stood up and took Maria's hand.
Break a leg, Sielamet. Tristan whished her as he soared through the skies in the form of the falcon, he loved the freedom of air and wind, nothing to hold him down. He was already considering teaching Amanda to become an eagle or some type of bird, so they could soar the skies together.
To think that he hadn't even think of shape-shifting in so many centuries was painful, that was one more thing he had be thankful for, coming to the Carpathian mountains had been nothing but a blessing.
"It's not so bad, been a redhead, I mean." Tempest said just to fill in the blanks. Everyone had gone silent all of the sudden. She could tell tension had built around the room. "I kinda like it; it's more dignified than been a blonde at least."
Darius laughed to his mate's comment. "We'll blondes may be dumb, but redheads are impossible. Are they not?" Darius asked Amanda.
"He's stubborn, and overprotective, and a little too dense sometimes, but I do love the copper locks, in fact, I'd love to have them myself, brunette is boring, practically everybody else has it, I'd like Tempest's burgundy, it stands out from the crowd."
Darius had been calm and even joyful, but he stood all of the sudden and took Tempest on his arms, his expression denoted deep concern.
"Is something wrong?" Gregori asked his brother as he also noticed the change of demeanor.
"I think my water just broke." Tempest said meekly. "Ouch, I think I'm having my first contraption." She said as she dug her nails on Darius' arms, the first gripping pain had signaled the beginning of her labor.
"I'm afraid my mate and I are going to have a son very soon." Darius announced as he took Tempest to the birthing chamber. Gregory, Shea and Francesca followed them.
"Amanda, I was told you wanted to learn the chant to heal the soil?" Syndil asked Mandy timidly.
"I suppose I do, the prince said he sensed I could have that power."
"In that case, come with me, I'm going to heal the soil for Tempest." Syndil said as both she and Barack went to the chamber to heal the ground from pollution and dangerous chemicals for Tempest delivery.

"Breath easy love, this won't take long, go one contraption at a time, don't focus on the pressure, don't fight against it … just let it go through you." Darius said to Tempest as he rubbed her back, and shared the contraptions with her.
"I can't! It hurts too much!" Tempest said brokenly. She wasn't ready to let loose the child yet, scared of the baby dying once outside. "He should stay inside a little longer. I'm not ready to be a mom yet!"
"You are ready, and I won't let my son come to harm, I promise you." Darius told her for the eleventh time, ever since she found out the curse of Carpathian children she had been petrified of giving birth. But now, with Shea, and so many other women succeeding against the odds, things were looking brighter.
"We've healed the earth for you, sister. Your baby will be born healthy, and he will be strong and powerful, just like any other Daratrazanoff male. Do not worry over this, just concentrate on giving birth." Gregori said as he aided Darius to shield her from the pain.
Amanda watched these powerful scenes with a knot tied around her throat, she had learnt the soil healing chant, discovering she had some ability on that area, but nothing like Syndil. She had also noticed how Tempest feared for the life of her unborn son, and she thought Tristan and she were very lucky to have Maria, and soon, maybe in a few decades she would have children of her own, and hopefully they will survive, Amanda thought she would not bear the pain of losing a child once he was born.
"I'll be upstairs with Maria, if you need me again just call me." Amanda said softly as she was about to leave the chamber.
"Thank you, sister. You have warned us of danger, thanks to that we were able to prevent a family tragedy, we will not forget that." Gregori said in earnest. "You have my allegiance."
Amanda didn't know what to respond to that, the dark one was a man of few words, and he had frank animosity towards Tristan, but he at least thought good of her.
"Your welcome … brother." Amanda said, she thought that was the only thing she could say that mattered.

Usually, the first act of swan lake is danced by the prince, who is told by the queen that he must marry, because he has come to that age where he must take some responsibility, but Mandy had created a variation of Tchaikovsky famous play, in this case Amanda played the Queen, who was rehearsing for a grand ball when the younger princess comes, and asks her to be introduced into society, Maria is the young princess, and Amanda teaches her how to act in a ball, how to smile to a charming prince, how to make gracious remarks to her peers, and finally how to dazzle her followers with a long leap.
The small suite was about twenty minutes, but in that short time, Amanda managed to execute plies, tendus, arabesques and most basic positions of ballet right along with Maria, ending with a grand jete, commonly referred too as a big leap and a full split on the air.
Amanda had required a very large space vacated to do the show properly but when she ended it, she was more than satisfied that she had insisted on Maria learning the steps, the girl was smiling from ear to ear and so was Tristan. It had been a spotless performance, even more perfect than rehearsed, and Maria had been great, she would've been a great dancer one day.
"That was beautiful, Mary. You were great, thank you for dancing it with me." Amanda whispered to Mary as she held her in her arms. The girl looked positively angelical with the pink tutu, the pearly tiara and her sparkling slippers.
Mary said nothing in response but she hugged Amanda, and leaned her head on her shoulder, which meant she felt safe, and cherished by her stepmother, the elegant ballerina.
"That was amazing! Where did you learn that?" Skylar asked her as she, and most onlookers congratulated the pair.
"I'm a ballet dancer; I have been one for over 10 years now." Amanda said as she rubbed Maria's back. "That was amazing, I've never jumped so high in my life; it was like I was flying. I guess been a Carpathian makes me dance better." Amanda admitted as she shared an intimate laugh with Tristan; that now, when she had no company she could jump higher than anybody else in the world.
"Would you teach me how to dance like that? It's so elegant and beautiful, like you could truly be a swan; of course you are so tall, and lean. The shift must come naturally." Skylar admitted, noticing just how long limbed was her half sister.
"Don't think about it been easy, in fact, I had lots of trouble with my height, most ballet dancers aren't tall, and I'm not that lean either, I struggled with the limit weight for decades, now I'm happy that's over and… I'd love dance with you, dancing is always a great relief for the soul. Now it's almost midnight so … I'm going to go get changed and I'll be back in a second, don't go anywhere."
"Sure, we'll talk some more."
She's nice. But I can't help to think there's something wrong with her. She's almost too perky. Do you think it's all just an act? That maybe inside she's just as scared and jaded as the rest of us? Skylar asked Dimitri through their link.
I don't know, Love. She's different from you, Colby, Natalya or any other dragon seeker woman, she was never under Razvan's control, and she's very much human, I'd say it's her personality… not that there's something wrong with yours, it's just that she's perky like that. And truth be told, I don't really like her much…she's too tall. Dimitri mentioned as he kissed his mate's temple.
That's so funny; you hate her because she's as tall as you?
I don't hate her; I just think she's unseemly. A woman that tall is not something natural, and all that jumping and tip toeing, makes me very uncomfortable, like she could fall and break a bone any second, I can't imagine how Tristan Ferdichenko lives through that much danger.
I guess he enjoys watching her dance; she's very good about it, that's for sure, very graceful.
You are far more beautiful, and ten times more graceful than she is, and you are also an outstanding dancer. Come with me, I would like to speak with the prince. Dimitri said as he laced his fingers with skylark and went to say hello to Raven and Mikhail.
ZZZ
You were amazing, Love. I'm very sad that you left the company; I'd love to see you dance every night. Tristan said privately as he followed Amanda to a room on the second story of the prince's house.
Well, I can still dance, and I plan to continue doing it, maybe I'll start the Carpathian ballet company. Amanda joked as she changed her clothes into a backless halter dress.
That's a beautiful color, sivamet. I'm still amazed that I can see this shade again. Tristan said as she touched the emerald colored silk and caressed Amanda's endless back and elegant nape.
Wait until you see the fireworks that Savannah prepared, you haven't seen true colors until you see that rainbow of magical sparkles, let's go; I'm dying to see Maria's face when she opens the castle.
Wait there, sweetheart. I have something for you.
You didn't have to; I'm fine; we are fine…
"I wanted to get you something, but I wasn't sure what you'd like." Tristan said as he pulled out a tiny jewelry box. "Merry Christmas, Amy."
"You really didn't have to. Tristan, this isn't necessary, we are not..."
"Of course I did, you are my lifemate, sielamet. I own you everything and anything that you desire, for you are everything I've ever wanted and more. You brought me immense joy and all I desire is to give something back to you." Tristan said as he opened the tiny box. "And we are, for all intentions and purposes, married. I wanted you to have this, as a sign of my love for you."
"Oh, Tristan ... I'm not sure we should…"
"Put it on."
It was a set of Claddagh rings, his was made of white gold, the common design, but hers was special, the heart was a black diamond, the crown was made of tiny sapphires ad the hands had tiny rubies as wrists bands, all in a set of platinum gold.
"I really think is too much," Amanda whispered as she took a step back. "I'm not ready for this."
"Nonsense, just try it on." Tristan said as he took her left hand and stretched it. Amanda struggled vainly; he placed the ring on her finger and drew it to the hilt. It was a perfect fit.
"Just so you know, we may be a couple, but we are not married. There's no wedding contract, and no priest's blessing here, so no, I'm not your wife." Amanda said as she tried to take it off, but the ring had stuck on her finger.
"Name the date and I shall marry you." Tristan said as he watched in dismay how she refused his claim on her.
"I'm not ready! We've only known each other for a few days!" she said as she almost broke her phalange trying to take the ring off.
"Time is of no consequence to love. And that ring has a spell on it, you can't take it off." He lied, it was too small, it would probably cut her circulation if she gained even just a little weigh, he had to have it refitted, but he wouldn't admit to that, he wouldn't even think about it, since they were fully bonded and shared every thought and feeling.
Amanda sighed exasperated. "Fine, be that as it may be, time is of consequence to me. And I'll cut the finger off tomorrow. But I'd love to be downstairs when Santa arrives. So go! After you, my lord."
"This is my first Christmas with you, I just wanted to give you a present that actually meant something, don't take it as if I'm forcing you."
"I get it. I got you something too, but it's nothing like this." Amy said as he gave him the watch she had bought for him on Amazon with disdain. "It's just a small detail."
"It's a gift from you; even if it's small it's still precious. Thank you, Amy."
"We really should be back."
"Sure, you know? It's so precious to see so many children, and such bright colors, green, purple and gold, it's amazing. Thank you, Amy. I wouldn't have this richness without you. This is the best Christmas I've ever had."
"Don't mention it." Amanda answered as she slammed the door closed behind them, she was enraged that he had forced her to wear his ring too, it wasn't enough to force everything else on her; he also had to push her into accepting their relationship.

Midnight…
Santa Klaus played by Dayan came down the chimney, and he had gifts for every kid, and some adults as well. When it became Maria's turn to receive a present, she was positively jittery. She shook the small box and tried to open it by sheer force but it didn't.
"Reveal yourself…" Amanda said as she sent the spell to open the present. Tiny sparkles flew from the box, and something like a jacko lantern came out jumping out of the box, landed on the floor and started defragmenting and growing until it had unveiled a child-size castle.
Amanda lowered the drawbridge and Maria came inside, there were tiny rooms designed to seem as if you have sliced a castle open, so you could see into everything at once. There were toys in the form of people, knights, princesses, horses, pigs, and even pigeons. And Maria could play with all of them.
"Do you like it, angel?" Tristan asked as he gave the girl a red-head princess doll.
She said nothing but she had a huge grin.
"I really wish she could speak." Amanda said out loud. Natalya was standing right beside her and heard her plight.
"Have you considered that it could be a spell? Maybe you could send something to try and unlock it." Natalya suggested.
"I guess I could…" Amanda said as she prepared something inside her head.
"Let there be light in her darkness, undo his binding, let her speak her mind …" Amanda muttered as she sent a small light. Natalya was standing beside her and she sent and extra amount of energy into the spell.
In seconds the small light turned into a purple gleam that engulfed Maria.
"What's that?" The prince asked as he noticed the odd show.
"I hope this works." Amanda whispered as she kneeled next to Maria. "What's your name, sweetheart?" Amanda asked her softly.
"Ma—Mary." The girl whispered in a raspy voice. "Amy," She said acknowledging Amanda's pet name.
"My god it worked!" Tristan nearly screamed with barely restrained emotions. "Who am I?" He asked as he hugged the girl.
"Daddy," she said simply. Tristan could not believe his own ears. It had been a spell, some kind of mage had casted a spell on her so she couldn't speak, or communicate, not even telepathically with anybody at all.
"Thank you, this is the greatest gift I could ever receive." Tristan said to Natalya and Amanda with shiny eyes.

3:00 am…
Tempest had been experiencing contraptions for over six hours by then, and finally she was ready, 100 percent effaced and 10 cm dilated. Shea was assisting her, so were Darius, Gregori, Franchesca and Syndil. They all gave her trust and support in the last phase of labor.
And she had a boy, dark haired, green eyed, 8 pounds 5 ounces of screaming beauty, Tempest and Darius decided to name him Derrick, which meant ruler or people in German, which was a way of prophesying that he would be a lot like his father and his uncle.
Gregori was terribly envious, he was getting closer and closer to Savannah's due date, and to think he would have two tiny girls was a constant fear on the back of his mind. He wished he had sired boys, but he had to make due with his girls, and he had to be happy as well because Savannah was awfully sensitive about it.
"Congratulations, Darius. I'm sure he will be a powerful warrior." Gregori said as he watched Darius holding his son for the first time.
"Be as it may be, but right now, he's my newborn child, and that's a blessing as I never imagined having." Darius mentioned as he kissed his son's dark fuzz. "Welcome home, Derrick, this little redhead is your mother, that wolf over there is your uncle, Gregori the dark one, he'll protect you same as I will. We've been waiting for you for a very long time."
"Give him to me," Tempest demanded.
As soon as she had him on her arms, the boy opened his sage-green eyes and smiled at her tenderly, wrapping his fingers around her index. "You know me, don't you, handsome? We are going to have lots of fun, welcome home, Derrick Daratrazanoff, ruler of my heart." Tempest said, and then she gazed up to see Darius staring at them with teary eyes.
Thank you, Tempest. I couldn't have a better Christmas present. He said though their private link as he kissed her on the lips tenderly. Rest now, sivamet. We have long days ahead of us. I'll watch over him.

Amanda and Maria were playing with the toy castle when a male Carpathian approached them…
"What do princesses do?" Amanda asked playfully as she played with the little toy pigeons, making them stand on the princess balcony and sing for her.
"We dance!" Maria said in a shrill of a voice, as she stood on tiptoes and made an arabesque.
He had entered the room short ten minutes before, and as soon as he did he noticed a voice that called out to him, and then it all started to turn into a myriad of colors, the Christmas tree was done in purple and silver, Raven was wearing a blue gown, the prince was sitting on a brown colored chaise long and down by tree, a beautiful woman sat besides a child in an emerald green dress that bared her slender back and emphasized her classic features.
He walked to the lady in green deliberately, feeling as his heart swelled with the pride of finding his lifemate after so many centuries, just when he was about to request permission to seek dawn, he had found her.
He kneeled next to her on the floor, wrapped his hands around her face and kissed her soundly. Amanda was so astonished she didn't even blink.
He stood all the sudden and offered her his hand to stand. Amanda took it but she felt revolted, like she had been touched by a snake rather than a very handsome man. She had never felt such revulsion; she guessed it was how any other man who wasn't Tristan would always felt to her, now that she was joined.
"Sivamet, you are very tall." Damian said as he watched Amanda rise to stand near as tall as him, and then she pulled her hand roughly away from his fingers. "Forgive my manners; I shouldn't have kissed you … yet."
"Who are you?" Amanda asked him with deep concern, not only was her mark throbbing, but she hadn't felt his past, present future when he touched her.
"Your lifemate, after so many centuries of barren existence and pain, I've found you; you are beautiful, I could never imagine eyes more blue…" He couldn't finish because Tristan came, and tore him away from Mandy's side, tackling him flat against the nearest wall.
Tristan wrapped his hands around the stranger's neck hard enough to cut his air supply, and snarled like a tiger, bearing elongated fangs, and eyes as red as a vampire.
"You dare touch my lifemate!" Tristan said menacingly with eyes that spat fire and venom.
"There's some kind of misunderstanding. I can't be your lifemate." Amanda said as she stood between the both of them, scared of the sudden violence brewing between them; Mandy summoned both Gregori and Jacques to help her, just to be on the safe side.
"Brother, I've regained colors, I'm sure she's my lifemate." Damian said conciliatorily as he tried to protect his throat from Tristan's vicious attack. But at the same time, he was considering hitting Tristan, he would not let another man have his lifemate; he would kill him, but so will Tristan.
Tristan used his free hand to try and move Amanda away so they could fight, but he couldn't.
"Daddy stop! You are hurting her!" Maria said as she pulled on Tristan's clothes. He was pushing Amanda by the shoulder and leaving handprints on her skin as she refused to move away.
He was so startled to hear the girl call Amanda her mother that he let them both go. "It's alright, sweetheart. I'm not hurting your mother." When Tristan said that, Damian noticed the girl was present.
"You have a daughter then…" Damian said as he kneeled and stared at the girl's bright red curls. "You have the look of your father, treasure. What's your name?"
"Maria," The girl said as she took Mandy's hand and his behind her legs; she was scared of the tall, bulky man. He was pale and dark haired, very well built, and his eyes had a deep blue shade that was almost black. He was too imposing for a small child like her.
"You were playing with your mother a second ago, and you said you were a princess, now I suppose it was you I heard." Damian said timidly. "Unless there's another female here, maybe I heard her and didn't notice where she was."
They all looked around, there were Dayan and Corrine, Raven, the prince, Gregory, Savannah, Jacques and little Vladimir, no other female, child or not, was present.
"I suppose it's meant to be." Damian said as he stared at the beautiful girl.
"My prince, what can we do? She's barely a toddler, this can't be possible." Tristan asked with despair. It seemed as thought he was meant to have one problem after the other with no such thing as respite between them.
"It doesn't mean anything. My own daughter was found when she was still on her mother's belly. Damian Dragon seeker understands he can only watch her grow and wait until she's old enough to claim her." The prince said.
"Wait, you are a Dragon Seeker too?" Amanda asked, as she stared at Damian.
"Yes, I am Dominic's cousin; my name is Damian Dragon Seeker. Why would that affect you?"
"My mark is throbbing, and when I touched you, there was no psychic reading, I didn't see your future, that had never happened to me."
"Oh, you have such ability! I knew a gypsy once, she had that very same trait, very beautiful woman, it must have been about fifty years ago."
"Is your dragon mark on the back, at the small of your back?" Amanda asked with hope.
Damian grew wary of her question, thinking that something had to be wrong. She couldn't know that. "Yes, how would you know that?"
"Because so is mine," Amanda said as she bared it for him to see. "This woman you met half a century ago, was she Romanian, from the tribe of Elkin? Was she a traveling gypsy perhaps?"
"Yes, again, I must ask you how you would know all that."
"You were with her, in an intimate way I mean, and you may not know this, but she bore you a child, a female, she called her Drahuska … and she was my mother."
Damian could not believe his own eyes and ears. She was a lot like that gypsy woman, her name was Selina, and Amanda was the spitting image of her.
"Hello … grandpa." Mandy said as she smiled at him.
Damian was so dumfounded he couldn't say a word.
"I had a daughter, a granddaughter and a grand-grand daughter… wait a minute, there's something wrong here. Maria can't be my mate, that's incestuous."
"She's not my child; I didn't give birth to her. So she's not your kin." Amanda admitted painfully.
"Oh, that's… peculiar, nevertheless, I have a granddaughter. I should be so lucky as to know this great news now. Oh my god, this is beyond my wildest imagination. What's your name, daughter?"
"Amanda… Ferdichenko." For the first time ever, Amanda accepted that she was Tristan's wife in name. "This is Tristan Ferdichenko, he's my mate, and he's Maria's father. We joined two weeks ago."
Had it only been two weeks, or maybe months, it felt like months to Tristan.
"In that case, congratulations, I'm sure it's still a little difficult, but these things get better with time. I'm sorry I touched you, I shouldn't have." Damian said as he kneeled to touch Maria's face. "I guess this little princess is very much spoiled."
"Let's not go there yet," Tristan said as he prevented Damian from touching Maria by picking her up, and walking away from him.
"When she's about thirty years old, then I'll let you touch her, besides…you have lots to talk about with Mandy, I'll leave you two alone, meanwhile I'll take the princess to bed, is near four in the morning, she's long past her bedtime."
"I want mommy to read me Cinderella again." Maria said as she stretched her arms for Amanda. It seemed as though the girl was a mama's girl trough and through.
"It's ok, we can always talk some more tomorrow," Amanda said as she took Mary on her arms. "I'll read you Cinderella anytime. Now we must take our gifts home." Amanda said as she magically placed the castle inside the box again.
"You take good care of them, Tristan. They are very precious to me." Damian said as he sent a silent blessing to the skies to protect them, and thanked god for finding them.
"I always do." Tristan admitted begrudgingly as he eyed the man warily. He couldn't accept his tiny daughter was already destined to be with that insufferable male, how dared he kiss Amanda?
If it had been Tempest or Savannah, he would've been killed; Daratrazanoffs were the no-bullshiting-me type of men. But Tristan been so pacific had only snarled at him. He wished he had drowned blood. He hated the idea of Damian ever touching his little girl. And if that wasn't enough; he was Amanda's grandfather, so he would have to put up with him for the rest of his life.
Dominic's cousin my ass, Dom would have never kissed a stranger. Tristan muttered as he placed Maria in bed. Amanda was taking a shower, and he knew as she soon as she came out, he would have her all at his mercy. And he would make damn sure she never even thought of kissing other men.

It's been an exciting night, hasn't it? Raven said to her mate.
Too exciting for my taste, I have to rest, and so do you, sivamet.
How's Tempest doing? Raven asked as they walked to their bedroom.
She's doing well, she had a boy, they are both in good health; they named him Derrick.
What's with the letter 'D' practically every Carpathian bloodline has names with that letter. We are running out of names, I'd hate to see a repetition.
I know what you mean, Desari, Darius, Dayan, Dominic, Damian, Destiny, and Derrick I'd say it's a matter of coincidence.
But you are different, only one Mikhail available, if we ever have a boy, we should name him something with an 'M'. we need to have a boy, it's funny I never felt the whole Henry The VIII pressure, but I'm feeling it now, it's all girls for you, if something were to happen to you, god forbids, our people would be lost. Or can it be Savannah?
Say something like Marcus, or Marius, or even Michael? The prince asked as he deliberately avoided the touchy subject.
Don't snub me like that, please; I'm serious about this.
So am I; I am capable of producing males, and I will produces males, now stop worrying about it, girls are just as important, and I'm sure Jacques or Gregori would lead our people just fine, that's if Savannah doesn't want to do it. She's my firstborn, and she has that right, no matter what's her gender.
Sure, any of those alternatives would do, but for the now, I was thinking Kathleen Michaela, do you like that name?
It's beautiful, Raven.
That's what I thought.
