The Tiger Prince's Witch

The following day everyone was getting ready for Micah and Jazlyn to mark each other. They wanted to do it in private like Anna and Kamryn did, but that didn't stop people from being prepared in the event something unique happened, as it did for the previous two.

The previous night Micah and Jaz had lost their virginity. It was better than either had expected, and they couldn't wait to see how it would differ after they were marked.

They wore the same blue and white type of clothes that Kamryn and Anna had worn, which were typical for the mating ceremonies of the coven. As they walked outside through the crowd, everyone congratulated them. Anna and Kamryn waited for them near the opening of the path to the ceremonial clearing.

"We'll be here when you're done," Anna said as she hugged each of them.

"Thank you," Jaz said as they headed into the trees.

When they got to the fire pit, the blue flame was burning. Jaz explained what they would be doing to Micah, and then she started the unity chant. He was mesmerized by her beautiful voice and the flame that seemed to dance from her words. When his fangs came out, Micah pulled Jazlyn to him and bit into her neck. They both felt as though they were floating as the tingling spread through their bodies. Both could feel their connection getting stronger as they felt each other's fears and happiness. When Micah pulled back, Jaz stopped chanting and pulled his face down to kiss him. She had tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you for not rejecting me. This all happened so fast. I just met you yesterday, and now we're mated." She hugged him tightly.

Before he could say anything, the blue flame that was reaching up into the sky changed colors. It changed into red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, and green. They watched as the flame began to swirl around like a tornado and then surrounded the couple. It only lasted for a minute, but to Jaz and Micah, it felt longer.

When the flame returned to the pit, it was once again blue. Micah looked at Jaz in surprise. He didn't think they would also get the rainbow flame like his brother and Anna.

"Does this mean we need to come back tomorrow to discover our new abilities?" He asked her, and she nodded.

"Yes. I wasn't expecting this to happen. I wonder what it means. I know what Stanely said, but this is still a surprise. Are you ready to go back? I'm sure everyone is waiting for us." She looked up at Micah and felt her heart swell. Was it too soon to love him?

"I'm ready, but before we were interrupted by the flame, I wanted to tell you that there was never any chance of me rejecting you. I believe that we both had to go through those rejections to get to our true mate. Yes, this happened fast, but I'm glad it did. I love you, Jazlyn, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." She was crying as she leaped into his arms.

"I love you too, Micah." He wrapped her tighter in his embrace and felt his heart melting at the feel of her against him. She was so small but fit just right, like they were made for each other.

They walked back toward the crowd waiting for them. When they emerged from the trees, everyone stared at them in disbelief with a little bit of fear. The rainbow flame had shown itself twice; this couldn't signify anything good. Anna, Kamryn, Maura, Bryson, Stanley, and Caprice were all waiting for them in front of the crowd.

"Are you okay, Jaz?" Maura asked as she hugged her daughter.

"I'm fine, mom, but we're concerned about us also getting the rainbow flame. I guess we need to go back tomorrow to find out what new power we have received." She said as she clung to Micah's hand. She didn't want to stop touching him, even for a minute. It was as though she would wake from this beautiful dream. Anna walked over and looked into their eyes.

"You both have the rainbow colors floating in your eyes like we do. I can't wait to see what you can do." Anna hugged them both. She was glad Jaz would be at the palace with her when this was all over. It would give them a little piece of home. They headed toward Anna's house for lunch, and then Micah and Jaz were going to go home to finish their mating.

The next afternoon everyone was once again gathered as Jaz and Micah went back to the ceremonial clearing to find out what powers they had. As they walked back to the fire pit, the flame was gone, but as soon as they touched the black stone, a new flame appeared.

The flame was half orange and half yellow. They watched as it began swirling around until it was so big that it wrapped itself around them. Micah stared in wonder at Jaz. He felt something happening but didn't know what. The couple looked at each other when the flame returned to the pit.

Jazlyn felt something transpiring inside of her. She was trembling and suddenly flew into the air with her arms spread wide. Micah was worried, but he couldn't do anything. He watched as a lightning bolt came from nowhere and zapped her. Jaz slowly came back to the ground and held her hand out. There was an electric current running between her fingertips. She closed her fist, and a lightning bolt appeared in her hand. She threw it, and when it hit a tree in the distance, the tree split in half.

"I can also touch someone with my hand, and it will send an electric current through their body." Jazlyn was amazed as she felt the weird current running through her.

"That's awesome," Micah said. He would never admit it, but he was a little scared to touch her.

"Don't worry. I won't use it on you." Jaz said as she giggled at his expression. Micah was getting ready to answer, but he suddenly floated into the air. He was shocked. He'd hoped he would get the ability to fly but didn't think it would actually happen. He felt something going on with his hand and waved it back and forth. He and Jaz gasped as a large boulder moved from one side of the clearing to the other with just the wave of his hand. He landed next to her with a huge grin on his face.

"I can fly with everyone else now." He said happily.

"Of course, that's what you would focus on when you can move boulders with a flick of the wrist." He leaned down and gave her a kiss.

"Hey, I'm just glad I can fly with you now."

*"Micah, I need you to shift so I can see what I can do,"* Rocky said.

"Rocky wants me to shift into him so he can see what abilities he has." Jaz nodded, and Micah quickly took his clothes off and shifted into Rocky. He was now a white tiger with black stripes like Legend. He was also able to glide through the air and teleport like Legend.

*"I think with Legend and me having the same power, we will have to teleport our mates somewhere quickly during the fight."* He shifted back to Micah so they could go see the others. "Rocky's beautiful. He's incredible no matter what color he is." Rocky purred in appreciation. He was a little sad at no longer being orange, but after hearing their mate, he felt better.

They flew out of the clearing as Anna and Kamryn had done a few days prior. Everyone clapped as they landed.

"Well, little brother, it looks like you got your wings," Kamryn said as they approached them.

"Yeah, but look at this." Micah pointed to a boulder and moved it a few feet to the right.

"That's amazing," Anna said. "What about you, Jaz?"

Jazlyn opened her palm, and everyone saw the electric current running between her fingers. She then made a fist, and a lightning bolt appeared. She threw it at the boulder Micah had moved, and it split it in half. "I can also shock people with the touch of my hand." She said, and everyone gasped.novelbin

"Rocky has the same abilities as Legend, and he's also now white," Micah said, looking at his brother.

"You four are extremely gifted. Micah and Jaz, if I had to guess, you will also become pregnant right away. I think it will take your six powers to beat what's coming. Each of you has been given a color of the rainbow flame. Anna purple, Kamryn green, Micah orange, and Jaz yellow. Your children will probably be given red and blue. The power of six will have the biggest battle of all. You six will be the only ones that can defeat the monstrosity that set this in motion."

The two couples stared at each other in astonishment at Stanley's words. The fate of the tigers and Spirit Energy was resting in their hands. They all felt the burden of the responsibility but knew they would rise up to the challenge. They will protect their families.
