The chosen one

Chapter 13

We enter the cottage and she leads me to the kitchen. This kitchen is baby blue with a wood burning stove and very homie. It smells like cookies but there are none in sight. She pours us some tea and sits at the table. I sit down with her. 

"You must be confused Lilly."

"Yes." I said as I took a sip of the tea. It smells like green tea but tastes like berries.

"Lilly I'm a witch but I'm a white witch. Do you know much about witches?"

"From movies white witches are good."

"Yes but we are not just good but we get our powers from the earth. We use the energy for good and in return we are blessed with special abilities. There are dark witches who use the energy for dark purposes and grey witches as well who do both light and dark magic just depends on what side they are on. I'm a white witch."

"Ok." I whisper.

"Lilly you were taken by the dark witches several months ago. They killed your mate and have put a spell on you to keep you in a a coma like state to us but you kept living in a suspended animation state." 

"I don't have a mate. They all rejected me or didn't want me. I was taken and held captive by my brother who beat and tortured me for years." I said sternly. 

"Lilly what does your wolf say?"

"She keeps telling me everything I know is a lie. It's real they all rejected me, didn't love me but Tyler he wasn't my mate but he loved me. I know he did." Tears began to run down my face. I'm so confused. 

"I'd like to bring back your memories and show you the truth. Will you allow me to do that?"

"How do I know this is real?"

"You will have to make that choice. All I can say is listen to your wolf and heart." 

"Ok "

"Follow me. You will be safe here and no one will be able to find you. You will be safe I promise."

"Thank you "

Just then shasha spoke up 'you are doing the right thing. I'm sorry for the heartache you will have to go through.'

'I've been through worse shasha.'

Cathy led me to a bedroom. "Lay down." I did as she told me to. She placed one hand on my head and began to chant as the other one moved down the length of my body. 

I'm at my sixteen birthday party. And I watch myself shift. I'm a beautiful white wolf. Not too big and not too short but I am perfect. I ran with my pack and then I smelled him my mate. He smelled like cinnamon buns and I follow the smell to the creek. There sat the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen. He is black with white tip ears and he looks right at me. He smells so good. We both change into our human forms and he smiles at me. "It's you. I finally have you." He tilted my chin up to look him in the eyes and I blushed. He smirked and passionately kissed me. He didn't reject me. Kevin actually wanted me. We sat by the lake and talked. He promised he would break up with Shelley and that we would be together. I fell asleep with my head on his shoulder and he carried me back to the pack house and put me to bed. He kissed my head and said good night my sweet mate I love you. Sweet dreams and left. How could I forget this. Kevin loved me. I watched him break up with Shelley who begged and pleaded with him to reject me. She loved him and she cried. I felt bad. She left the pack that day. 

I watched as Kevin and I developed a relationship and planned our mating ceremony. My father would not allow us to sleep in the same room until we performed the ceremony and Kevin was ok with that. I'm sixteen and he is eighteen. My mother was so excited and took over everything. But that's when I noticed a dark shadow. My mother kept looking at it but she never acted on it. She would shake her head and mumble something and it would disappear. Interesting. 

Kevin would take me out, watch movies with me and he was my world. I was happy. It was the day before our mating and that's when things changed. We were attacked by witches. Since I was new to being a wolf I wasn't allowed to fight so I was forced to stay with the young, pregnant and elderly wolves. I felt it. The moment my mother died. I fell to the ground and screamed. 

I woke up screaming and sweating. Cathy held me. "Shh I know it hurts. I know but it will be ok. Shh." She held me while i sobbed for my mother. The women I loved died and I forgot. My heart hurt. I fell asleep in Cathy's arms.
