The whole sacred temple was filled with familiar and unfamiliar faces. A sea of conversations and laughter filled the whole temple.The moment I walked I saw the whole arena get to pause. A lot of people started pointing their fingers toward me whilst some even spit in my face.
That is what they have always done ever since I had failed to shift into my wolf form. What was considered a disgrace and curse in my pack was being either a gamma or a wolfless werewolf.
Although we had a heightened sense they saw me as an outcast thus why I live away from them.
I have gotten used to this kind of situation. I noticed that some were disgusted and some men had evil intentions written on their faces. Today was just pure humiliation to me because even if I had met my mate here,
There was no way they would recognize a wolfless werewolf like me. I sat away from the people in a secluded dark spot and covered my face with the cloak I had with me. The Alpha who had once treated me like his sister officiated the ceremony and what was delaying the whole process was the moon. It is mostly believed that under the moonlight thus when the magic actually takes place.
I was not bothered by any of this but I just came in respect to the Alpha since he had ordered so. Then I started feeling a sharp pain and my body started to get extremely hot. Over the years I had learned how to control my heat but this time it was ten times worse.
I tried to bite the herbs I had discovered once to calm myself down but it was all to no avail.
Now the moon started to slowly crawl out of the clouds and with every light it produced my heat intensified and it was painful.Beads of sweat started to fall on my forehead and I felt the gown I was wearing drench with sweat.
Suddenly I felt my vision blur and I was pulled into a familiar yet unfamiliar sleep or vision.
I found myself walking around a white place with endless light and it stretched everywhere.
"Ever since I saved you that day I have been waiting for you Selene," the voice said and was starting to panic.
"Who are you and how do you know my name" I asked no one in particular and I was getting nervous evidenced by how I pinched myself and inserted my nails deep into my flesh trying to wake myself up.
"You are in a vision Selene and you won't be leaving soon until I tell you everything you need to know because child you have so much to learn and time is running out" the voice codedly said.
"What do you mean by that, you are even making me more scared than I already am," I said and infront of me appeared a version of me I did not know .She looked beautiful with white hair and white glowing eyes .What was I seeing.
"Don't be afraid of me Selene am here to help you" she reassured me and she held my shoulder and it instantly removed all the anxiety I was feeling and I was calm for that moment even that scorching heat for a moment disipated and I was feeling okay .
"Who are you?"I asked and she smiled.
"Are you Selene, but to others I am their wolf.Have you noticed how you don't have a wolf lately?"she asked.
"Yes, Why don't I have a wolf but I pretty much have all the werewolf abilities like speed, and heightened senses. Why do I not transform into one?"I had to get the answers since she seemed to hold all of them.
"Firstly Selene, you are not an ordinary werewolf and you are the Moon Blessed. A rare type of werewolf that has connections to the moon and I haven't shown you my true form because I don't want to scare you until we are able to master the power you have.Until you understand your destiny and the extent of your powers then I will show you my true form" she explained .
"So what is my destiny that you talk about?" I asked with curiosity.
Instead of answering she pointed to the right and I saw this gruesome war that was taking place. Several innocent people were being murdered and the whole world was painted with blood spilled from the massacres and the vegetation and life on earth were slowly disappearing.
"You see, a dark power has long risen since the dawn of time and if it is not stopped this is what the world will look like. Everything inside it will slowly die unless you stop them…." I stopped her from finishing her statements when I had to get clarity on something.
"What do you mean by them" I questioned.
"The forces which have been destroying this earth are too many and you will face them all. Dark magic has been controlling this world for centuries and the price of using such magic means that a price has to be paid and that price is life on earth.The journey ahead will not be easy for you Selene but since we have one another we will be strong anf he will be with you throughout all of it" She again decided to speak in codes.
"Are willing to give me this information?" I asked perplexed.
"Yes, Why are you asking?" she asked with confusion on her perfect face.
"I can sense him close, your mate. He seems to be a formidable person " she said.
"And you know that he is a formidable person because?" I asked.
"I have my ways Selene now listen time is running out. Whatever that happens I would like you to trust him more than you trust anyone because some will betray you. Some will even seek to prosecute you so trust only him......" she said as she started fading away.
"No wait don't leave me yet you haven't told me much. Come back !" I called but nothing happened.
I watched as the white environment started blurring and I was back to the ceremony and I found all the eyes and everyone at the ceremony looking at me.
I saw several perplexed and conflicted faces from the unmated as well as some few mated male mates. They were looking at me with raw lust. The heat came back again and I felt losing control of my scent and the moment I lost control of it, the unmated males started howling.
All the males at the ceremony started howling in unison.
"What sorcery are you using Selene?" the Alpha came towards me and commanded din his Alpha tone but surprisingly everyone around me fell down on their knees due to his Alpha tone but I remained unfazzed by it.
This made the people around me gasp for breath.
"She might be using blood magic, how was she able to withstand the Alpha's command like that" I heard the women near me say this.
"Do you how you are hurting these young males? Quickly hide your scent" he ordered.
"I am not doing anything Alpha and I can't. Am trying to hide it but I just can't" I replied.
"That's what happens when a wolfless werewolf has a scent. They know nothing, get her away from here!" the whole crowd chanted and I saw the guards walking towards me.
I would rather walk away on my own than get dragged out by the guards who knew what they might do to me. The moment the guard's hand came in contact with my burning skin he quickly retracted his hand.
"What are you doing take her away before the Lycan King arrives" he commanded.
"Alpha she is burning, " the guard said and the whole crowd mocked him.
"Selene can you leave please" the Alpha said and he walked away I tried to move but my legs seemed to have been anchored at the place.
"I am sorry Alpha but I can't move" The moment I said this the whole crowd gasped.
It was recorded as a crime to talk back to your Alpha, a crime which results in one getting killed it depends on the mood of the Alpha.
"Selene, now since you were brought up by this pack. You have grown wings, even if it was my mother who adopted you. You are not priviledged to do as you please in my pack.Get rid of her" he commanded and walked back to his seat.
After passing the judgment I saw several people hold their weapons. The guards around me tried to cut my head with his blade but it was stopped mid-air by an impenetrable white wall that suddenly appeared from nowhere.
After seeing that the swords were now penetrating one person took his bow and arrow and shot the silver arrow towards me.
"Stop" I heard myself say in a loud profound voice and watched as the werewolves crawled down due to the aura I had produced.
After I said all of this the weather changed and it started to rain with lightning bolts flashing everywhere.
"Kill her, she is a witch," one of the congregants said as they were all rushing towards me. I felt a terrifying aura sweep the whole area and I watched as the whole werewolves stopped and paved the way for the person.
There he was the cold and terrifying Lycan King, Kieran Duskbane. He walked surveying the whole area and came towards me. He walked majestically and he approached me and surprisingly he was able to enter the white sphere that had formed around me.
The moment his cold skin touched my hot body, the heat I was feeling finally dissipated, and the spiral pheromones I had produced reduced and I was feeling myself again.
"She is my mate....
