Sorry this is late, guys but for some reason the program I've used FOR YEARS on my computer for typing documents decided to suddenly out of the blue start playing up. One day I was able to use it, the next I kept getting "APPLICATION ERROR" or another type of error message. I tried repairing it, using control panel to completely delete and then reinstall the thing and once or twice it actually worked, then BANG!!! gone again!! *sigh* so I finally deleted it completely and found another one that works well so far and this one seems to be slightly better as well, so hopefully, no more problems.

P.S-I discovered a problem with my story. I said that Hari was the Heir to the four founders, but she's really NOT, only to Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryphondor. She got her Slytherin blood from XAVIER, not Salazar, so even though she has their blood she's not of HIS blood. In this case, Voldermort is STILL heir to Slytherin. Don't worry, I have an idea of how to fix this though.

P.P.S-I just finished reading Dark Sentinel. I planned on having one of the female Witches a lifemate to Gary Jensen Daratrazanoff (sorry guys, I know he's not a 'Jensen' anymore, but I just can't stop thinking of him as one), but read in that book that Gary KNEW were his lifemate was-In France. This gives me a wonderful opportunity to keep it kinda sorta accurate, what two French Witches do WE know?

Also the votes are not really coming in guys. I got a one "you decide", one vote for Magical Creature and one saying either Tonks or a Magical Creature. That's all. Only one more chapter to decide. I am trying to put the poll back up, but on AFF Forum because apparently putting it here "encourages people to have an opinion" (Huh?) but I don't know how yet. I'll adjust this when I get it.
********************************************************************************************************************************************
It took until the next full moon before they saw their first sign of Romanian Witches and Wizards.

During the month that had gone they had talked to the goblins about the Life-debt that the Weasely wished to make with him and his lifemate. The goblins suggested instead that since his lifemate was the heir to four houses she could officially-through him as her lifemate and guardian until she was of age, take the family as her Vassals. This way they had more freedom than the Life-debt would allow, they would-under the agreement and the magic involved-have protection from mind and body control that may make them betray them in ANY way, it would also give them some privacy as Vassals they were entitled, at least by ancient law, to land and a home owned by his lifemate.

However since the family couldn’t exactly move into a new flash home for them, on a decent property without suspicion from the old Wizard, moreover, they didn’t WANT to leave their home, Jarius learned the family was in debt and decided what to do with the Goblins. On behalf of his mate he brought the deed to house and property so they no longer had to worry about their property tax or maintenance, and once they had justice for his mate and the old Wizard and ‘Dark lord’ was gone, they would fix the house too, something they could all enjoy living in, that would be personal, but befit their position and the.....appreciation he felt they owed the family for their risk and part in this. They even considered buying up the property adjoined theirs so that not only would his lifemate have them nearby to protect and help her, but when they succeeded they could merge the properties and even extend out the home. After all, this was a family of Purebloods with SEVEN children, six males and a female, if all of them found mates and had children, they would need their own homes for their families, and that wasn’t considering if the female child was a lifemate as well.

He had discussed it in length with the male during the month, since he knew the parents, maybe not completely since he tended to be the type to content himself with being in the back-ground and observing, rather than participating unlike his lifemates parents and godfather, but he could easily change or adjust anything to suit them both. This family would possibly care for his lifemate during the day of the holidays, if she was to return to go to the school, they couldn’t not have either side dissatisfied.

Even though normally Jarius could.....influence things in his favor here he was unsure it would work. He had no idea how strong the minds of these magicals were, let alone full-blooded Purebloods. Trying to tamper with their minds if they were too strong for him COULD cause a problem.

Apparently with the school holidays coming up soon the family was due to visit the eldest in Egypt where he now worked as a curse-breaker there for them, but also on loan from the bank to the company wanting the young wizards expertise. THIS would give them a chance to meet, if they organized with the Goblins for the family to transfer by portkey here from there, allowing them to meet in person and each side to get their questions answered and any worries or apprehensions put to rest.

Also with the family being Purebloods which were there since the early days of the creation of their world, they would know so much more about the workings of the world than the male, even though he was born there, they were privileged and were raised to know everything they needed to know about the world they were going to enter if he wanted to protect his lifemate and the other males find theirs.

Their inside knowledge would prove invaluable, along with the help of the Goblins (paid for, of course).
Meanwhile they would learn all they could from the male with them about how to 'function' in their society in their land-of-birth.

The male hadn't been too happy when he learned about what happened the night of the full moon, but both talking to THEM, AND his now adopted niece had convinced him there was nothing he could do to prevent it. The Carpathian males and their lifemates were now his and his wolfs' pack, they would take care of him and the child, would protect both of them, from themselves and each other as well as others, he HAD had less damage to himself at the end of the night the last time then he had had since he was with his pack.

Only THIS TIME he had a true wolf-pack, creatures who understood him, unlike before.

The Goblins reported they had registered the wolf with the Carpathian Wizard society authorities, giving him more rights in their world than his own country of birth gave him, the adoption going through with the record of Inheritance from them, meaning while the werewolf was officially the child's 'father' in the magical world, it was also recorded that he was her mate and authority and Razvan was her grandfather. This meant that while the werewolf was her authority in THEIR world (for now), her mate in his and the human world, if it came down to it, Razvan had the final world, even it he preferred it not to and wanted to leave her authority to them.

It wasn't that Razvan didn't care about his newly found granddaughter, it was just that because of everything he had been through in his life and his grandfather had forced him to do, he didn't truly trust himself around others, or others around them. Which was was he and his lifemate Ivory tended to stay away from other than their pack out in the wilds.

They were also working on making the male wolf a part of Romanian human and wizarding society. The advantage with the human world was unlike his lifemate whose mother was born and registered in British human society and therefore had record of her and therefore his lifemate's existence, the male was born and spent all his life in the magical world, meaning in human society he didn't exist. THIS gave both the Carpathians and Joseph a huge advantage. Using his computers, the younger Carpathian could CREATE an identity for him in human society, however the Romanian wizarding world was a different story since they had their own rules and the male was also registered in Britannia. While he was the adopted 'father' of his lifemate and therefore able to keep his lifemate away from the older wizard, the fact he was registered born and a citizen of Britain meant that if their world was to find out they were here, they could demand the Romanian wizarding world send them back, first to put the male on trial for 'kidnapping' their 'heroine' and then they would give her back to the manipulative old man, who would then put her right back when he had put her.

And since werewolves and vampires were seen as less than human, as literal creatures or monsters in THEIR society, the wolf's sentence, he told them, would most certainly be death. This would further traumatize his lifemate on top of whatever would happen to her under the roof of her 'loving' uncle and aunt. Just the sort of thing the old bastard would want.

He couldn't allow that to happen, he WOULD NOT loose his lifemate in that way!!!

The problem they needed to get around was with his lifemates aunt and uncle. Apparently the two had custody of his lifemate in the human world, in order to get full custody in BOTH worlds they needed to get them to sign it over to them. However the problem here was the humans were being PAID to 'take care' of his mate and there was no way they were willing to allow their cash-source to get away from them, so refused.

Mikhail told Jarius he was working on it, if they couldn't force them legally, he was going to send someone to hopefully 'persuade' them it would be to their 'benefit' if they sign.

However the Goblins had been a huge help in all these issues so far, even providing them with information on the spellritual used to implant the soul-piece in his lifemate and why and it's purpose, something they didn't know before even though both Gregori and Ivory had removed the pieces and they had heard another Carpathian in America had had experience, like them, in destroying them.

It seemed the thing had a purpose, a dark purpose. As the Goblins told it a witch or wizard would commit murder of an innocent in cold blood with the express purpose of immortality. They would split their soul in half by the vial act and hide the piece in an object and then hide the object somewhere safe and protected. The object created was called an Horcrux and it was extremely rare to do so to a living vessel, simply because an living item had a soul and could logically overpower or damage the soul with their own-evil overpowered by good if the vessel was strong enough and most Witches and Wizards weren't willing to risk their fragment on a living host.

It also seemed that once the itemvessel was imbued with the fragment they became virtually immortal themselves, only a few things could kill or destroy them. His lifemate, if not rescued by her 'uncles', would have continued to live a torturous life there and not even had the option of death as an escape from them.

It also explained how Razvan continued to survive in his grandfather's clutches.

Being an magic user, NOT a mage, Xavier KNEW about the spellritual and how to split his soul, but also knew of the side-affects. Having your soul split in half did NOT go without consequences, you would loosing half of who you were and by doing so, it would drive you extremely quickly insane. However Xavier and his brothers got around that by finding a way to instead of perminately splitting their souls, did it temporarily for limited amounts of time, allowing them to retain their sanity (for the most part), but still get what they wanted.

And by using Razvan as the vessel-Xavier's Horcrux-he was able to keep him alive, despite starving him, despite torturing him and experimenting on him. In those times his grandfather possessed him, Razvan had been virtually immortal.

Which lead to new information, both about the magical world and the triplets.

Inside the founders vaults they had found diaries from each. Salazar Slytherins had been locked behind powerful blood wards only accessed by samples of his lifemates blood, apparently her Slytherin blood, while not directly his, was strong enough and clean enough of any evil taint that the powerful Wizard's protections accepted her. In the oldest of the other three founders entries they stated how worried they were becoming with the sudden change in their companions behavior. He seemed to have become very angry and jealous about everything, denying that anyone OTHER than Purebloods be allowed to study and go to their school, that Muggleborn and Halfbloods were a stain on their world and didn't deserve their magic. This seemed to be totally foreign to his normal behavior and it seriously concerned them.

This behavior seemed to get worse and more violent until even the three others were expressing fear for their lives.
It must have been true because the entries just abruptly stopped.

An abrupt change in behavior? This meant either one of three things to him, to THEM when they discussed in length with Gregori, The Prince, Razvan and Ivory. The three triplets had a brother, yet the Inheritance Test had NOT started how exactly. Were they just them, with Salazar as a younger OR older brother, or was it possible......they were actually Quads? If This was so and the other founders were unaware it would be easy for one of the brothers to masquerade as him to influence them and make them think their companion was still alive.

The second was the brothers were somehow controlling their brother. By what he had read in the journals, Salazar wasn't like his brothers. When he learned what his brothers wanted to do, he wanted to stop them, at first with his companions, but when the triplets threatened the other three Wizards, the man had began his own way to stop them, building a set of secret chambers under the school they were building where he was creating a powerful weapon, something that he was 100% SURE would stop them for good, it would be THAT powerful.

This was obviously when they killed and replaced him, hoping to get into the chamber and get the weapon themselves. When they asked the male werewolf about it, he thought for a few minutes then nodded “ I know a little, just legends.”

“Tell us.”

“ The story goes that Slytherin disagreed with the other founders on the issue of Blood Purity. Before he left he had built a hidden chamber in the castle. Slytherin, according to the legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic."

“So he 'disappeared'. If one of the triplets was masquerading as him after they killed him, they just stopped returning, hence the absence. If we assume that the triplets were unable to get inside, that means the chamber was sealed against his brothers finding and entering it. The other part is troubling though, only his heir can enter. There was no record of Slytherin having children on the test.”

The werewolf.....Remus looked thoughtful then his eyes widened.

“What is it?” they asked him.

“First off there is an rumor that one family line, The Guants, were descendants of Slytherin.” The Carpathians looked at him “WHICH Slytherin?” He shook his head, “It was THOUGHT Salazar. But it wasn't known he had brothers anyway so.....”

“So this Guant family is possibly his descendants. Are there any alive at the moment?” He shook his head “they died off about 70 years ago. However....”

“What?”

“The Dark Lord. They said he was the heir of Slytherin. If he wasn't, a lot of the Slytherin students or oriented families wouldn't have followed him.” The Carpathians all tensed slightly, silent communication all going on between them so Gregori asked in a soft but firm voice “has the chamber ever been opened?”

He thought for a while, searching his memory. “Yes, once about fifty years ago.”

“What happened?” Ivory asked and he looked at her dead in the eyes and said “a student died.” The Carpathians exchanged looks and he frowned “What?”

“If this so-called Dark Lord was truly the Slytherin heir then we have a possibility of him being not what he seems to have been.”

“What do you mean?”

“According to what I read in your memories from the other, he once had good ideals. It is POSSIBLE he was NOT misleading people, he truly had those intentions.” Ivory spoke “Xavier and his brothers corrupt, that is what they do. They take what's good and either corrupt it or destroy it. IF Xavier and his brothers caused your people to have to go into hiding, then killed their own brother for trying to interfere in their plans, corrupting someone with such good ideals and plans would be nothing.”

“Especially if-as the heir to Slytherin-that same person can give them access to their brothers hidden weapon against them” Gregori said.

Eyes wide the werewolf nodded, seeing what they were saying “and by giving that spell to him to make horcrux's they created chaos in our world by making him a madman with the worse of our society as followers, or even those trapped like Severus by his lies.”

They nodded.

By alerting the Goblins of his lifemates status, the fragment still lodged in her head, they found a quick and possibly painless way to remove the fragment. It seemed the race had encountered these things before in the past and developed their own methods of removal. And as more Witches and Wizards through time learnt or tried it, they refined their methods and they promised once his lifemate was in full health and her custody was complete, they would remove it immediately-for a fee of course.

It seemed Skylar had taken a liking to her little niece and had been coming around with her lifemate, bringing her little treats or items such as food or a doll she had brought or such. Jarius knew it was a mix of reasons she was so obsessed with this idea. The first was the idea the child had had a life just as bad as hers, and she was trying to make it better in her own way.

The second was the fact she was the childs' aunt. Since that word had such negative meaning to his mate the young Carpathian woman was trying to show her that an aunt wasn't something bad, that having an aunt could be something GOOD, whether it was to spoilt her with toys or food and attention, or just to be there for her if she needed her, if she needed another female-an adult-to talk to.

The last was her innate nature as a female Carpathian, they were a light to those in the world they cared for and her instincts, both from her Carpathian nature, the wolf that her side of the family bore and her history all pushed her to care for her little fragile niece, that she needed her love, care and attention desperately. It was an female's innate nature to selflessly love, and who better to love than a fragile once-abused child and family member?

The night of the full moon herald a change and a new information and purpose for his lifemate.

They had been only outside for an hour or so when there was a flash and loud multiple cracks from outside the invisibly warded area put down by the male before the moon rose. All eyes, animal and human, rose to find five figures standing there, three females and two males, dressed in robes and holding drawn wands.

Immediately it got a reaction from the werewolf, snarling and throwing himself at the shield, whimpering as it sparked but continuing. When it didn't work he moved away, moving in front of the child, crouching down and blocking the five's sight of her, top lip peeled back and snarling loudly, body tense and all fine hairs on end in alert, claws ready.

Jarius was reminded of what Remus had told him last month, about what happened last time they encountered Witches and Wizards and he was the wolf. He knew now this reaction was because of that, he saw them, saw the robes and wands and it immediately told him they were a threat, they wanted to take his cub from him, and he had to act first before they got their hands on her or they might apparate to and with her before he could stop them.

The wolf didn't know the wards around them would prevent that, it knew only instincts, robes and wands mean threat.

Leaving the wolf to protect his cub, Jarius moved forward, watching Ivory and Razvan and their pack move forward and surround the two with their large frames, their thick fur brushing against both briefly in a show of comfort and camaraderie, causing the wolf to relax some and allow the others to surround him, the childs' arms wrapping around his neck tightly to keep him with her.

He moved to the shield, misting his form outside before reforming in his human shape, facing the five.

The five figures, at his appearance, tensed, wands aimed at him, causing the wolf to snarl louder. To which the child clutched him tighter and whimpered a bit in fear and the surrounding wolves rubbed against them soothingly, the two Carpathians in front, between the two and the threat.

Jarius spoke, his voice soft and soothingly hypnotic, trying to defuse the situation “why are you here?”

“We don't have to answer you!” on of the Witches snapped “you're endangering a magical child! She shouldn't be in there with him!!!”

“On the contrary” he said “my lifemate is the safest one there. In case you have not noticed, there is a warded area, enforced by OUR safeguards to keep humans away, keeping him from leaving during the full moon, that plus the Wolfsbane potion, allows him control enough to prevent becoming violent.”

The same Witch sneered “Wolfsbane is useless. It doesn't work.”

“It DOES when it is brewed by a competent Potions Master, let alone the youngest of his age when allowed to experiment.” The group froze “what do you mean? And what do you mean, Lifemate?”

“I am sure you have heard of him, Remus told me he has been getting offers from all over the world for his service, The Youngest Potions Master Of The Century.” Five sets of eyes widened “how? How did this one wolf earn the right to use one of HIS potions?!”

“By being the caretaker of the child he cares for, the daughter of his childhood sweetheart.” This made sense to them “so the potion works, it allows him to keep his mind during the moonphase?”

“To an extent. It either makes him drowsy and he sleeps, gives him SOME control or essentially turns him into a wolf cub. Which is why we stay with him. By providing a pack he is easier to control.”

One, a male, spoke out “so you are all animagus?” Ivory's wolf snorted at the nievity and Jarius shook his head “what we are is something completely different, as you are. We are connected to mother Nature as you are to Mother Magic. Because of this, my lifemate is protected more than you know.”

The male spoke again “so your....people have mates, like Veela's or werewolves.”

“Our people believe on our creation our souls are split into two, a Light and Dark. The Light is born as a female and the Dark a male, us. When the male finds his other half he is driven to speak the ritual words and repair that separation, joining what was one back together. My lifemate is too young yet for me to do so, however, I will wait until she is of age and can consent.”

“What happens when you do so?”

“She will become one of our kind” he didn't mention that the bonding wouldn't actually change her, only combine their souls, minds and hearts as well as enhance some senses-he needed to put her through the conversion for her to become Carpathian-instead choosing to leave them with the idea that it was some sort of hidden Inheritance their bonding would awaken in her. After all, there was a chance it WOULD happen that way with her inherited Carpathian blood through Razvan AND him, so it WAS partly true.

“Jarius?” his lifemate spoke out from her spot behind the wolf, peaking around him to see what was going on, her voice trembling in fear and concern for him “Jarius who are they? Are they going to try and hurt you or Uncle Remi?” she looked over at them, her next words terrified “please don't! Don't take uncle Remi from me!!! He saved me from the bad people and healed me and brought me here to my mate and my mom's family!!! Don't hurt him!!”

Before Jarius could assure her that NO ONE was taking her from them, or her adopted father, one of the females, the one who hadn't spoken yet and was almost hidden by the others spoke out, eyes wide “WAIT!!”

Everyone froze.

“I know that voice!! I've heard it before” her eyes, a beautiful lavender color, swung to the male that had been speaking “Alexandru it's HER from three years ago, the one I linked too then lost!!!” The dark haired male's eyes widened “are you sure, Alina? You have to be 100% sure here.”

“I'm sure” she nodded firmly.

“Let's be sure though” one of the other females moved forward, towards Jarius “we wish to speak to the child. Bring her out of the shield so we may question her.” Jarius didn't move of speak.

The male, Alexandru, sighed “Cristina you won't get anything making demands of them. He is her mate, he had a right to refuse you, on top of that we have no authority over them.” The females face twisted nastily “of course we do. We can tell the Romanian Ministry that this wolf's security measures are not enough and they will deny custody of the child.”

The other three figures gasped in horror at the females words, as if the very thought of what she suggested was so bad it never occurred to them and the male spoke again, eyes narrowed and angered on her “Then this man, as her mate, will deny us all and every chance to see her as her overall authority, your action would cause us to loose any chance of finding out if it was true or not” he looked at the other male and female (not the one named Alina) “take her back to the Ministry, put her under protective custody and report her comments. Get them to do a report and submit the memories. I want her charged for her violation.”

“Yes sir” the two grabbed the woman, forcibly took her wand before she could act and held her tightly, apparating away with the struggling screeching woman.

Once gone the male bowed low to them “I apologize for my underlings comments, I had no idea I had such a bigot working for me. This will be rectified when I return. May we speak with the child?”

“I do not know if the wolf will allow it.”
“If the potion truly works....”

“It is not that” he answered “recently a group of Witches and Wizards tried to take my lifemate from him. The wolf now has an irrational fear that if she is not in his range, she will be taken from him. If you were to approach, he would think...”

“We are trying to take her away from him” the male said and nodded in understanding “I see your point. What do you suggest we do?”
“Will he hurt us?” the female asked. Jarius answered “the others will not allow it.”

“Then let's try this” she said with determination, shrugging out of her robes so underneath she wore just a simple blouse and a skirt. Pushing her wand through the bun on the top of her head she looked at him “I assume animals can go through the wards?” When he nodded she moved forward. Within three steps her form had changed, becoming a small black form of a fox, a Grey fox, but instead of grey fur hers was black with grey where the black SHOULD be.

This, he assumed, was an animagus transformation, meaning the female's spirit held all the aspects of the animal she took.

She dashed forward, through the barrier and inside. The wolf's head turned, following her, watching carefully but not moving. Once she was close enough the wolves moved aside, allowing her to sit on her haunches directly in front of the wolf, watching hims silently, waiting. The male wolf whined in confusion, sniffing the air near her. She didn't move, didn't seem at all afraid, only calm, letting him sniff her thoroughly.

The wolf whined again, head cocked in confusion, only to be copied by the fox, head cocked to the side cutely.
The wolf froze, confused.
Slowly his head moved back to a normal position, only for the fox to copy again.
Now the wolf had no idea how to react. He woofed softly and the fox yipped back.

Baffled the wolf reached out with a clawed 'paw' towards it, as if to touch it and see if it was real, and the fox followed, touching a finger with one paw. The wolf withdrew his 'paw', looking at it in confusion as if wondering how he could have touched an illusion, before leaning forward and sticking his nose into the foxes side, sniffing the little thing completely until he seemed satisfied it seemed real enough.

What followed was a play session between the cubbish werewolf and little fox, until the larger creature was too exhausted to do more, curling up among the wolves and going to sleep, allowing the female to turn back and approach the child cautiously, seated in her lifemates lap while the male magical on the other side of the barrier was comfortable in his cushioned chair he had summoned earlier from nowhere.

The child looked scared, but Jarius murmured in her ear, words of comfort, voice low and hypnotic. He sensed no ill intent for this female and the male still waiting patiently outside, only a strange sense of grief, elation and confusion. This female knew-or at least THOUGHT she knew-something about his lifemates past, and he needed to know what.

“Hello little one” she said gently, sitting on the ground in front of them a safe distance from them “I want to ask you a couple of questions, can you answer them for me?” Looking up at Jarius who nodded she looked back and copied his movement.

“All right then, I want you to answer me honestly, okay?” when she nodded again she asked a simple question softly “what is your name?”

“Hari” the child said instantly, pleased by her rewarding smile.

“How old are you, Hari?”

“Uncle Remi says I just turned five two months ago.”

“All right, has your Uncle Remi ever hurt you? EVER?” The child's two little pig-tails went flying as she shook her head, hard. “Never? Not even when he doesn't take his potion?” Again the shake of her head “NEVER. Uncle Remi always protects me. He's never even scared me, even when I know he's not in control.”

This was news to everyone.
“You've never been afraid of him?” she clarified.
“NEVER” she insisted stubbornly.

“This is strange” she said, looking up at Jarius “in all our cases we have never heard of a child being safe from a werewolf during a full moon.”

“Her parents were animagus” he answered, “The both of them plus two others were his friends as a human from eleven and refused to leave him to himself after finding out what he was. They all became animagus to join him during the full moon. One betrayed them and was the cause of the death of her parents and the other is in prison without a trial as the one responsible. The wolf has long adopted her as his cub, and cubs in a pack MUST be protected, especially now she is all they have left of them.”

“That may be, but other werewolves have been known to kill family if not contained during the moon.”

“How many had animagus family members? How many were wolves since their were four years old? How many TRIED to become pack with the wolf side, instead of fearing or rejecting it for what it could not help being?”

“FOUR YEARS OLD?!” the man outside the wards' eyes narrowed on him “WHO infected a four year old child?!”

“Later. Now Hari I have some serious questions to ask you and I want you to answer, even if they upset you, can you do that? I promise you that it's important and if you answer I'll show you something pretty, okay?”

“Okay” she nodded, voice trembling slightly. Just the tremble in her voice made him want to growl at the female and move his lifemate away, but he forced it back and instead laced their fingers together and guided her back so her back was pressed to his stomach and chest. This way she had the safety of his arms and body around her, providing protection, comfort and love.

“Did someone hurt you when you were smaller, hurt you so bad you screamed out with both your body and your magic?” His lifemate trembled and nodded “Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. They used to hurt me and yell and wouldn't let me eat anything, and called me a freak and other mean things. Uncle Remi and Uncle Severus saved me, even though the man with the white beard and the other people tried to stop them. Uncle Remi brought me here to hide from them.”

Jarius could see the anger, pain and question in the male magic users face, but the female carefully kept it from her face to keep from scaring his mate “okay little one next question. During that time, did you ever hear another person's voice in your head? A voice only you can hear, no one else?”

Again his lifemate nodded, shaking this time in pain of the memories. He sent her soothing calm and love, trying to help her while his instincts DEMANDED he rip the human apart for DARING to upset his lifemate! “They said she didn't exist, that I was making her up, more of my 'freakishness'.”

Tears were swimming in the females eyes and she looked like his mate had affirmed something to her, glancing at the male who nodded seriously back, giving his permission.

“And did that voice, her you said, ever call you anything, a name or a strange word.” After a long pause to think about it the child nodded “yes, I remember, but I can't say it, it was a really strange word.”

Tears were starting to pour down the females cheeks as she spoke, voice choked a little by her obvious upset “was it sista?” The child instantly lit up “YES! That was it!!! I remember, you said it just like she did!!” she frowned at her “you sound a little like her too. Why is that?”

The woman choked louder, now full-out crying “because it was ME you connected to those short years ago, little sista, me who felt your suffering and tried to find you and save you along with my brothers and sisters. But we never did. All over the world, our best trackers, or strongest spells, NOTHING worked. I couldn't find you, I couldn't save you.”

“Why?” his lifemate cocked her head curiously at the other “why did you want to find me?” The female tried to choke back a sob so she could answer honesty “because, little Sista, I KNEW the moment we connected our minds, you were one of us. We can only do so with one person in our entire lives, out Soul-Sister or Brother, and that person is always one of OUR kind. You, little Hari, are my Soul-Sister.”
