The Necklace That Protects Me novel Chapter 44

"Very good. Now let it go." Amy said softly. I did as she said and felt the warmth leave my body. "I'm very impressed Noel, you seem to already be very in touch with your witch side. We will take it slow but I think you'll pick up quickly." Amy squealed and have me a hug.

It was now dinner time and I couldn't wait to eat. All the training today wore me out. I ate like a pig again and then just about fell asleep at the table. Michael carried me up to bed. I lazily changed into fresh pajamas in the bathroom before face planting on my bed. Michael chuckled and pulled me to him and covered us up with the blanket. As I was drifting off I could've sworn I heard him say "I love you."

For the next few weeks my life mainly consisted of training, eating, and sleeping. Every morning I woke up sore, and every night I passed out from pure exhaustion. On the days that Michael wasn't training me he had to spend most of it at the pack, to not raise suspicion. He was to take over the alpha position soon. He had graduated at the end of the last school year so now his main focus was suppose to be training to become the alpha.

However, Michael would make excuses to sneak off and see me whenever he could, he also snuck out every night and climbed into bed with me. Typically I was passed out long before he came in. Brie and Brian were still staying in the pack house, but stayed over often, Brian was to be Michael's beta so he was also gone most days with Michael. Amy and Thomas were sleeping in separate rooms and still didn't seem all that friendly towards each other, how they were resisting the mating bond was beyond me.

Every morning I would wake up and take a hot shower then get dressed in some type of cool work out clothing, Michael wasn't a huge fan but it's hot out and besides I wasn't going into public like this. Once I was ready I would meet everyone for breakfast. When breakfast was done and cleaned up I helped Amy make the potion to hide my scent. She would explain the ingredients, what their purpose in the potion is, and where to find them; then quiz me on it. A week in I had it memorized and could've made it on my own.

When the talk of Michael's birthday came around I asked my wolf if she knew when my birthday was. Lilith had chuckled and told me it was December 25th, I was just months away from my 8th birthday! Turns out Thomas was correct about me being a Christmas baby. It was exciting for me to know my actual birthday. I felt like all the pieces of who I am finally came into place, I knew some of my history and was surrounded by people that loved me.

My training continued for weeks. The night before Michael's birthday party we all sat down for supper together. Thomas has gotten choice steaks and grilled them in honor of Michael's birthday. Amy, Brie, and I had baked a cake. Once we were finished eating we went in the living room together.
