~CALLIE'S P.O.V~
I am lying in a forest. It looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Is this my dream world? I begin to wonder when I have been here when I hear Emery speak up.
'I know this place, this is a place of peace, a place where she comes to you, this is the realm only us wolves typically come to while we rest.'
'Who are you talking about?'
'The Moon Goddess, of course.'
'That is wishful thinking, Em, nobody in centuries has been known to have seen the Moon Goddess.' I said to her, She doesn't reply.
In the distance, I saw a bright light. I began to wonder what it could be. I never had dreams like this. It normally was always the same dream. In the distance, I saw what looked like a Pure Black wolf. He was so handsome. I wanted to reach out and touch him. His eyes connected with mine. He had the most beautiful blue eyes. Even Emery was prancing around in my head. I vaguely remember his smell from some memory in my head, but I can't put a face or a name to it. But the smell brings comfort to my body.
'Rain' Emery purrs
'I thought only cats purred.' I said sarcastically, making Emery growl in return.
'There is something else too. Pine. Rain and Pine.'
'Mm, I love that smell, it makes me want to mount him now.' Emery says.
'Me too...' I replied, surprised at our reaction to this random wolf in dreamland.
'Wait, don't males mount females?'
'We should move closer; I need to better see what I'm working with here.'
'You're practically drooling Em.' I said with a laugh.
'Yeah, the things I'd do to that wolf with my saliva.'
Woah, I have a perverted wolf!
'My virgin ears!'
'Ah come on Cal, it's not like you haven't touched yourself, picturing a certain Alpha you act like you don't know.'
'I don't know him! But those are my private memories!'
'Nope, not anymore. I want to c*m like that! Come on, let me at him!'
'No, stop...' I say as Emery puts erotic thoughts into my head of all the things she would do to the black wolf, is it weird that it's turning me on? No stop!
'Enough Em, we don't even know if he is real or if he even has a mate.'
'Oh, he is real, and he will put us in every position I just showed you, or we can make it kinky and put him in them.'
How have I bestowed such a horny wolf? She is the opposite of me.
'We are one actually.' She corrects my thoughts.
'If I move forward, will you stop showing me these dirty images?'
'Gladly. I'll just put them in action.' She says with a laugh.
UGH, I am not going to win this one, am I? Giving in, I began to move forward. Only for the beautiful wolf to retreat into the woods and disappear.
'Oh, he wants to play hard to get aye, catch him!' Emery booms inside my head. As I was making my way toward the tree line to follow him, I heard the most angelic voice my ears had ever heard, making me stop dead in my tracks.
"That's a possible future. One you must decide for yourself." She says, taking me out of my thoughts about the retreating wolf.
I looked over to see the most beautiful woman my eyes have ever seen. She has blonde hair that almost appears white. With pale skin that looks translucent. Her beautiful silver eyes were looking at where the Wolf went. She then turned to me, looking right at me. Her eyes seemed like she could see the real me, the one who nobody else could see any more.
"My child. We are one in the soul. I know every thought, every pain, I can see, hear and feel everything."
"Are you the Moon Goddess?" I asked as respectfully as I could.
"I have many names; Selena, Moon Goddess, diosa de la Luna, lunam deam, or an older one, more original to me, Leanne. I have many names for what I am called, but only one being. I came to talk."
"Moon Goddess, I have failed you. I couldn't protect my family, and even my mate didn't want me. I am a failure." Tears pooled in my eyes. She reached over and wiped the lone tear that had managed to escape. She sat there looking at me, not with pity, but with love and admiration.
"Do not fret, my child. You are in no way a failure. I see the purity, the heart of gold. Inside you. I am here to bless you, my child." She pauses for a moment, thinking over her words, then continues to talk.
"In my centuries of looking after werewolves, I have never had the pleasure of meeting one with such pure blood as yourself yet. Not only do you have my blood running through your veins, but you also have my powers. You are very special Callie. If anyone knows who you are, your life could be in real danger. Your pack eliminated part of the threat a few years back, but some who escaped know and they are planning, plotting. They have exploited your identity to other super-naturals. With great power comes great responsibility, but it also puts a big target on your back. You need to be prepared for what's to come." The Moon Goddess stated.
"But, Moon Goddess, I am no one special. What could they want from me?"
"Only the Alphas have heard of the prophecy of a descendent being born directly from the Moon Goddess herself. Legends they call it. That is until now. Until now, it was only passed down as bedtime stories to the Alphas to be. But Callie, tonight, once you shift, you will have access to the many powers that are your birthright. You will have to unlock these abilities to become who you are meant to be. You will be known to create the most powerful heirs. Any natural being who is power-hungry and knows of the extraordinary things that you can do will be out to get you. You are the most powerful being to walk the earth as you know it. In time you will see."
"I don't understand." I'm trying to wrap my brain around her words, but I don't get it. My parents were only Gamma. How am I to be the most powerful being on the earth?
"You have a choice to make Callie. Tonight, your mate will come to you. It is up to you how you handle it. If you choose wisely, you will be blessed with a better future. A second chance, the happiness you have longed for. If you choose wrong, your destiny can change, and more than war will be at stake. The future, as we know, can alter if the wrong hands get you."
War? Second Chance? Powers? Me?
"My mate has already rejected me, your Goddess," I replied, while my wolf slightly whimpered at the truth. A small smile didn't escape from my view as I saw it quickly retreat from her face as she reached over, her hand caressing my cheek.
"Yes, indeed he has... but from my understanding, you have not accepted his rejection. Am I correct?"
"Yes," I spoke softly.
"Tonight, shifts will occur, mayhem will occur, prophecies will be read, and choices will be made. I must go, my child. But do not fret. I am always here."
"WAIT! Don't leave. Please. I have so many questions."
"I can grant you one question for now; one I promise to answer."
I know this wasn't rational. There were so many better questions, like what powers I have, how I fend off those who want me, or even how my parents are doing in the afterlife with her. But the only question that I couldn't get off my mind was the one I asked instead.
"Who was that wolf, the black one I saw before you appeared? What is his name?"
"In due time, everything will make sense. I promise. However, I promised to answer one question... His name is Timber, a very loyal and true wolf indeed." She replied with a genuine smile, then vanished into thin air.
I was left in the forest again, but this time alone with my thoughts. What choice is mine to make? What does she mean I will be blessed? Who was this Wolf Timber and why did I feel like I needed him? What powers is she talking about?
'I'm not entirely sure just yet, but I know it's something big,' Emery says.
All of a sudden, I heard a bang. I looked back into the dark forest to see nothing. When suddenly, I am pulled out of my dreams and back to reality. I opened my eyes to my door being slammed shut. Everything was a bit blurry for a moment while my eyes readjusted to the light. Before I am fully aware of my surroundings, a body plops right on top of me, causing a groan to escape my lips.
"UGH Jade, get off!"
"It's time to get up lazy ass! It's 4 pm! You've slept the afternoon away and it’s time to get ready! The party starts in just 3 hours!"
I sure don't feel rested. I feel as if the energy was drained out of me from being in that realm of sleep.
"Okay. I'll get up. But that requires you to get off me." I spat at her.
"You are right. Mom is downstairs in the ballroom making sure the caterers and the party planners are doing everything correctly." Jade says as she stands walking towards the door.
"I wish she wouldn't have spent so much money on today." I quietly replied.
"Nonsense! It's your 16th birthday! There is no way we wouldn't go all-out catering to you. It is a special day. Not because of your stupid mate, but because today marks the new beginning of your life with your wolf!"
Just the mention of my mate had my heart clenching in my chest. I wonder if he will be here tonight. Surprisingly, he isn't what my mind keeps going back to though. I can't get my mind off of Timber, that Black Wolf with the piercing blue eyes, the wolf from my dream. Was he real?
'mmhmm I sure think so, I can almost taste him, I bet he tastes delightful!'
'Here we go again, can you keep your mind out of the gutter please?' I said as I put up a mental block. The last thing I need to do is think about the images she showed me a bit ago and get turned on in front of Jade.
I got off of my bed and headed to the restroom to take a shower. I stood in the hot water for a while before I decided to get out. I reached out to grab my towel off the rack to dry my body. I then brushed my teeth then headed to the closet.
I pulled out the new lingerie top I bought and put it on. I then grabbed the maroon mini skirt and fishnets to put them on. I go back to the bathroom to finish getting ready. This time making my makeup pop while straightening my long hair, putting half in a high bun. I then walked back to the closest and retrieved some knee-high leather boots and put them on. I walked to the standing mirror and took in my entire appearance.
'Damnnn, we look SEXY, heads will definitely turn our way, look out world because we are too damn fine to not shine!' Emery practically yells. She is right though; we do look good. And I am more ready than ever to have a good time, especially after having Emery pump me up. It is the first time in a long time that I even felt a little normal. Having a wolf was better than I thought. I never knew I needed a little voice in my head to make me feel normal.
'I am anything but little. I am mighty, I am fierce, I am a force to reckon with, I am badass.'
'You forget me in this, we are one remember?'
'Right, I just happen to be the better part.' Emery says while she turns her snout side to side inside of my head like she has hair to swish back and forth.
'If you say so.'
'I'm kidding, we are badass bitches!' Emery says in a huff.
'Well, we both can be badass, but only one of us is a bitch.' I said while laughing.
'Um we are not pregnant, although I wouldn't mind if Timber buried his see-'
'Erk stop!' I quickly cut her train of thought off. Is every conversation going to lead to this?
'Fine, I'll drop it for now.' Emery says with a swish of her tail.
I finished my final touches to my appearance, walking out of my room and over to Jade's room. As I enter, I see she is finishing herself by putting on perfume. She looked hot too!
"Dang J, you trying to pull mated mates too, I see."
"HA, they wish!" I smiled at her response.
Jade was in a little black dress, with bright red pumps on. She always said everyone needed an LBD (little black dress).
"Alright, you ready to party or what!" I said to her, actually having a positive attitude for once. She looked at me with pure shock on her face but quickly changed her reaction. She was surprised to see me actually being myself for once.
"Cal, I am SO READY TO PARTY!" She screamed as she took my hand, leading me to the elevator as we headed downstairs to the first floor where all parties are held, in the ballroom.
