Mated to A Golden Goddess

Five

We soon found my parents and his parents they were together talking about what had just happened. “Mom, Dad what is going on right now?” I hear Matthew ask his parents. I watched as my mom looked at my dad with guilt behind her eyes and say to him “Honey, I think it’s time we told them the truth.” You are right my dear.” “Lirella, Prince Matthew and your Majesties, I do believe that we owe all of you an explanation as to what is going on right now with both your son and my daughter.” My father said while having a firm grip around my mother’s waist. The king and queen looked at him with questioning eyes and the queen than spoke. “Well, let us all go somewhere private away from prying eye and ears.” “I could not agree more my love.” The king answered her. “Let us go to our home it’s not far from here and there is something I need to show the prince and Lirella.” My mother chimed in with a look of fear in her eyes as if what she was about to show us would change our lives forever.

Matthew’s point of view

We all started to walk toward Lirellas house and within five minutes we had arrived, it was a large house standing two stories tall. Of course, not near as big as the palace but for a beta family it was quite nice. However, we weren’t there to look at the house we were here to see what was going on with Lirella and myself. We entered the house and we all sat down the tension was so thick it was unreal. “I need you all to follow me.” my father said to us all. So, we all got up and followed him. Soon we were going down into a basement. I looked over to Lirella to ask her if she knew about the basement. “Hey, you did know about this basement, right?” “Yeah, so I’m not sure what we’re doing down here.” She replied. Soon we came up to a wall and Lirellas father hit the middle of the wall and it started to scan his hand, soon the wall started to open, and we all walked into a room that looked like it was fort Knox. The security inside was unbelievable and the artifacts and the jewels inside was unreal. Everything was inside a glass case with motion sensors all around. In the middle stood a podium with this ornate and very old looking book with text I have never seen before.

Lirellas point of view

We enter the secret room, and I can’t help but feel as if I have been here before, but I know I haven’t. I’m looking around and my eyes fall to the middle of the room, to the ornate book that resides inside the glass case, and I am instantly drawn to it, and I can feel myself slowly stepping towards it. There wasn’t anything all that special about it, it was just an old book that had gold designs all over the cover and had a language I didn’t really understand, but the book really didn’t look all that exciting, and yet I found myself so attracted to it.

I hear my mom say something to me, but I can’t understand what she’s saying. My mate also says something and again I can’t hear what she’s saying, all I can hear are the voices that are calling out to me. It’s coming from the book, and I feel like I must go see what it wants.

I can’t take my eyes off the book, all the sudden I feel my body being shaken and I look and see my mate with worry in his eyes and I finally snap out of it. “What the Hell just happened to me?” I ask my parents furiously looking at them I am so pissed right now what in the world have they been hiding from me. My mate grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug, and I instantly calm down his smell and comfort are what my wolf needs right now. I watch as my father goes over and turns off the sensors than walks over to the book and places his hand on the podium and releases the glass from the book. He grabs it and walks toward me with a look of being sorry in his eyes. “Lirella, this book has been passed down for generations in my family for over a thousand years. It is a prophecy that is passed down. It is written in old draconic and only a few can read it. It was passed down to us from the moon goddess herself we are direct descendants of the moon goddess. But we have been hiding in plain sight for many years. I never in a million years would believe that you my dear daughter would be the Golden Werewolf the prophecy was talking about.” My father told me while looking at me his eyes never leaving mine.

“What prophecy, why me I don’t understand dad I’m so scared it’s unreal and why is my mate glowing like me when he is in his wolf form?” I asked him with while choking back tears. I was so confused, and I needed answers and I needed them soon.

“All will be revealed soon my dear right now I need you take the book I know it is calling to you and you will be given all of the answers you seek.” He answered me. I took a deep breath closed my eyes and grabbed ahold of the book. Soon as I did, I felt this rush of power fill the whole room the book started to glow, and the pages turned on their own as if there was a big gust of wind. I could feel myself losing my grip on reality and next thing I see is pure darkness. I wake up and see absolutely nothing I call out for anyone, but I am only met with silence. After a few minutes I start to see a light and it is getting bigger and brighter and soon I see Desiree she comes up to me and nestles her snout into my hand. I greet her with a huge hug as I run my hands through her fur.

“Desiree, what am I doing here, where is here I am so confused.” I ask my wolf. She looks at me and begins to talk to me

“My, dear child you are inside the book and soon all of your questions will have the answers you seek.” She says with a soothing and calming voice and before I know it, I’m standing a couple of inches above a lake and around me is mountains and forest as far as the eye can see. It is the most beautiful sight I have ever beheld. I watch as Desiree walks above the water toward me and I know I should be in awe of what I am seeing but I’m not it almost as if I’ve been here before and naturally, I feel calm about the whole situation. As I am watching Desiree walk toward me all the sudden, I see a beautiful white unicorn with a horn that’s shining light blue and something I thought I would never see a red dragon with a scar above his left eye. He’s enormous with a powerful aura I can’t help but to bow to the magnificent creatures. As I am bowing, I hear the unicorn speak. “Please, do not bow to us Moon Goddess.” I gasp moon goddess what is she talking about I am no moon goddess. “I see you don’t know yet and have many questions.” The dragon tells me with a voice that’s deep yet soothing. “Moon goddess how is that possible I’m just the daughter of a beta. “I reply. “Dear child, you have the moon goddess inside of you, we’ve been waiting many moons for her to come back to us, once a long time ago the moon goddess told us that she would soon be betrayed by whom she did not know and that she would return to us when we would need her the most. She was correct and she was betrayed by someone close to her another god and was killed, but before her death she told us she would return to us and help us defeat or enemies.” The unicorn told me while bowing to me. “But I don’t understand why me, why was I the chosen one and how can you be so sure that I have the moon goddess inside of me? how do I know your telling me the truth and I thought god and goddess can’t be killed and if she was killed how have we been existing?” I asked all these questions without even taking a breath. “We will answer all of your questions, but first I think an introduction is in order my name is Droccolo” the dragon tells me with so much power in his voice. “And I am Celestina, your grace.” The unicorn tells me.

“It is so nice to meet both of you, but I am still so confused, how are you guys here I thought yall went extinct a long time ago?” I ask them curiously. “My dear, we are long from extinct yes we are not many anymore, but we have been hiding in plain sight for fear of him, But now that you are here that means that our time is drawing near and soon we will rise up and form an army like no other and defeat our enemies. We have been waiting for you to come back to us. You are the legendary Golden wolf you my dear are the moon goddess reincarnated.” Celestiana tells me “I have heard of the legend of the golden wolf, but I always assumed it was just a special wolf with some powers a gift from the mood goddess Selene, I never would have dreamed that I would be the moon goddess herself, but if that is the case whose been blessing us this whole time and how come know one knew what happened to her?” I asked

“We have been blessing you all in her stead and the moon goddess chose you because she knew you would have what it took, she knew that your pure heart and strong mind is what was needed.” Droccolo tells me. "We decided it would be better to tell of the legend of the golden wolf as to confuse our enemy, only Celestiana and myself knew the truth. We thought this was the safest way to keep the new moon goddess safe.” Droccolo continues to tell me.

“So, if I am the moon goddess, then why do I not feel any differently why don’t I feel more powerful and why was my mate glowing when he shifted?” I asked “Because he is your protector before the moon goddesses’ demise, she told us that she was going to make a protector someone that she could trust and someone that would love her unconditionally or in your case you” Celestina replies. “And you won’t feel your powers for a while as you are a reincarnation you will grow into some of your powers and others will be earned.” Droccolo tells me. “Does this mean I am going to become a true goddess and rule like you guys are?” I asked.

“That will depend on you dear one, at the end of the battle you will have a choice to either stay in the mortal realm or to stay here in Aurelios.” Celestiana tells me. “I would have a choice, but wouldn’t that leave you all without a moon goddess if I chose to stay in the mortal realm?” I asked. “Yes, that would mean that we would be without a moon goddess for the time being, but Selene wanted the next moon goddess to have a choice since they would be born in the mortal realm to keep her safe. So, she knew they would have family and people who loved her or you in this case so she wanted them to have that choice but fear not we will not always be without the goddess if you so choose to stay in the mortal realm. She will return to us at another time born in this realm.” Droccolo replied to me.

“But who is this enemy y’all keep speaking of is he the one that betrayed Selene?” I ask.

“His name is Kodian, he once was Selene’s advisor and messenger, he discovered a way to kill a god by using a poison. Which he used Selene as a test, and it worked. We soon found out afterward that it was him who had poisoned her, and he was kicked out of this realm and was demoted to a mortal, but he still has his powers, and he has been finding followers from witches to demons to vampires and other creatures. He is building an army and he’s been doing it for over a thousand years even though he’s mortal he has found ways through witchcraft to prolong his life. He’s powerful and he’s about to be on the move.” Droccolo tells me. “He is not to be underestimated Lirella.” Celestiana chimes in. “Our time is growing short and soon you will return home, please remember all we have taught you, from what our resources have told us we have until the fifth full moon before he is on the rise and ready to begin his terror.” Droccolo tells me “When you return, please but your trust in those around you especially your mate you will be able to tell who you can trust and who you can’t dear one. Trust your instincts and more important trust your heart.” Celestiana tells me but her voice is fading and soon I wake up in the secret room inside of my mate’s arms.
