The Chosen One

Isabella's POV
It felt like a whirlwind, a rush of emotion and s****l tension that brought pure bliss. It was fast, hot, and messy, an experience that made me feel like I was in heaven.
"f**k!" I said coyly, my mind in disarray.
I couldn't think straight.
"Mmm... baby," he groaned. "You feel so good."
Every touch, kiss, and lick of my skin ignited sparks.
"You're so beautiful, baby! I want you now."
I don't usually engage in these sorts of things, but there was something about him. I felt like I'd known him forever. I was still a virgin, yet everything just seemed to click together, like two magnets pulled by a magnetic force.
"I need to be inside you," he groaned, kissing my nape and flipping me onto my back.
The contact and immense pressure building in my core made me moan.
He kept telling me how beautiful I was, how much he wanted me, and how he needed to be inside me as he released himself.
It was intoxicating.
I wanted it so badly that I moaned again, arching my back into him.
In the throes of ecstasy, I couldn't help but scream out, and then...
As quickly as it started, it was over. I lay there secretly craving more.
He collapsed on top of me, panting heavily.
It took him a minute before I felt his weight shift as he moved to his side of the bed and turned away from me.
"Is everything alright, Ben?" I asked curiously, waiting for him to face me.
"Was I okay? Did I not..." My voice trailed off under my breath...
He sat up, still facing away from me, and began putting on his shirt, then his briefs and pants, completely ignoring me.
"Look, Isabella," he finally said. "It was real. It was good, even great, and I needed this... to know what it would feel like to be with my fated mate before... Anyway," he continued, a hint of frustration in his voice.
I just wanted to know what I would be missing, but I don't think this is going to work.
I'm in love with someone else. She will be the better Luna Queen anyway," he vented.
"She's an Alpha's daughter and my chosen mate. Besides, you don't even know who you are or where you come from."
The sweet scent of ripe cherries filled Ben's senses as he took a deep breath, relishing the delicious aroma.
"Umm! Mates?" I said. "What the hell is he talking about?" I gave him a dumbfounded look...
"Luna? Alpha? Are we role-playing now?" I asked sarcastically.
"You see! You don't even know what you are, let alone who you are, do you?" he looked at me with disgust in his eyes.
"You don't even have your wolf yet, do you?"
"Umm, my wolf… Ben, what are you talking about and why are you being so cold and distant to me now after what we did..."
"I'm sorry, but I don't love you. It's just the mate bond at work."
"That's okay, we just got... wait, mate bond... what mate bond?" I asked, puzzled.
This boy was insane, yet I still craved more of him. Why? Was this bond actually real?
"No, you don't understand. This was a one-time thing. It will never happen again," he said, leaving me uneasy. I wondered where he was going with this.
But before I could comprehend it, it was too late.
He had obtained what he desired from me.
Suddenly, I felt sick. I wished for the luxurious sheets with a thread count of one-thousand to open up and consume me whole.
"I, Benji Carson, Future Alpha King, reject...you, Isabella Holten, as my mate and future Luna Queen."
Strangely, the moment he uttered those words, I felt pain.
Clutching my heart, I collapsed in agony.
My screams filled the air as my veins seemed to burn.
My heart tore in two, and then everything went black.
"Isabella!" a sweet, melodic voice called my name.
Opening my eyes, I found myself in an enchanting forest. Beautiful trees, flowers, and peculiar yet magnificent birds and animals roamed peacefully.
A sense of tranquility permeated the place, and I felt weightless.
"Am I dead?" I pondered, taking in my surroundings.
"Yes, my child, you are in the realm of the moon. I am the moon goddess, Celeste."
"Moon goddess?" I turned to observe a woman beside me, her radiance captivating.
In that instant, I realized she was communicating with me telepathically.
Bathed in light, she glowed from head to toe.
She wore a white sailor moon dress, resembling Princess Serenity.
Her jet-black hair cascaded down like Rapunzel's.
With striking white eyes and moonlit tattoos adorning her body, she oozed beauty.
"The realm of the moon? Is this real?"
"Yes, my child, and you are indeed deceased," her melodic voice confirmed.
"Your goddess-given mate rejected you before you could unlock your wolf, causing a heartache so severe it led to your demise. But if you fulfill a task for me, I can send you back. You can reclaim your destiny and your life!"
I understand you'd like me to continue the story. Here's the next part of the revised chapter:
"What destiny? I was a nobody. I never even had the chance to discover who I truly am before I died. I wasn't even adopted... Did you say I had a wolf?" I bombarded her with questions.
"What does that make me, some kind of werewolf?" I laughed at the absurdity.
"Yes, my dear, you were indeed a werewolf, a child of the moon," she said, placing her hands over her heart.
"Wait, so you're telling me I'm a werewolf, and you're a sort of god?"
"Yes, my child!" she sang.
"Why didn't you help me? Why did it end up like this?" I said, bitterness coating my words.
"I cannot intervene as much as I desire to, or become more actively involved in your earthly existence, my dear," she responded gently. "I grant you free will, among other things. Rest assured, I have always been by your side, observing and safeguarding you. But occasionally, things don't go according to plan. Free will means that there is no predetermined outcome - everything is in a constant state of flux. When an unforeseen event derails the original course, I step in and realign it. That is the purpose of your presence here," she explained softly.
"This was not intended to occur, and now a new danger has emerged - my twin sister, Selene, the dark moon goddess. I suspect she has been disturbing the delicate balance, leading to unfortunate circumstances on Earth," she continued.
"You see, my twin sister despises me and everything I have created. Her goal is to destroy the realms, with the chosen one being her primary target, in order to turn you to darkness."
"Why me?" I asked again. "I'm nobody!"
"You see, you were born for a reason, and without you, the world would descend into chaos. You are not a nobody, Isabella. I made you to be the chosen one, the one who will save them all," she said, with a sparkle in her eyes.
"This can't be happening."
I wasn't brave, strong, or a chosen one. I was just me, the girl from Holten, California, who wasn't even adopted but bounced from group home to group home.
"Who didn't even know what she was or where she came from?"
"Wait, you're telling me that I'm not human, but a werewolf, and that you have a twin sister who wants me dead or on her side, and that I have to save all your creations, including humans, or the world will plunge into chaos?"
"Yes," she nodded, then continued.
"Not just the Earth, but the Moon Realm and all the other realms will descend into darkness if you don't succeed, my child. So, will you go back and defend the Earth as the chosen one?" She asked, as if it were easier done than said.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Yes, you always have a choice, my dear."
"Okay, I will be the chosen one. I want to go back and show Ben that he didn't break me, that I'm stronger than he thinks, and that I am somebody special, not a nobody."
"Excellent. Here's what will happen," she said.
"First, I will give you three gifts. You will discover them as you need them once you are back. Second, I will give you a magical weapon to wield against all your enemies. And that can only be wielded by you and your descendants." She then guided me to a table that magically appeared out of nowhere.
On the table were three items, and she asked me to pick one. So, I chose the chopsticks.
They were made out of moon crystals that glowed with stars and had moon gems cascading down like a waterfall.
"Great choice! Those will be your weapons."
"Huh, chopsticks?"
"I will have them turned into swords when you wield them," she said.
"Thirdly, I will give you a second chance, mate, to help you in your battle. Once you are mated, your gifts will manifest, and the war will begin," she continued.
"This is a lot to take in, but I can't back down now. I am the chosen one," I thought, giving myself a pep talk.
"There is one more thing I need to tell you," she said to me in a sad voice.
"What is it?" I said, concerned.
"It's about where you come from," she said.
Of course, I forgot she was a goddess and could tell me things like that, but...
"Why are you telling me?" I asked. "I need you to be prepared, and this time I will send you back with the knowledge of who you are and your wolf. You were born to the Previous Alpha King Orion and Luna Queen Stella. They were killed by the Carson's Pack. Ben's Father murdered your parents and took over as King."
Rage took over, bubbling up inside me. "Ben and his father are going to pay."
"So, Ben isn't the rightful future Alpha King?" I said, enraged.
I wanted vengeance.
"No, when you get back, you need to find someone named Gianna who can help you. And one last thing... You must not let Ben ascend the throne as the new Alpha King. If he does, it's over! The world will be thrown into peril."
"Are you ready to go back?"
