Chapter 31
Aria pov
Slowly waking up I have no clue where I am. It's so dark I can't tell if my eyes are open. My mind is so fuzzy I can't think straight it's like something is missing. I hurt all over why do I hurt I should have healed from the fight. “Ava why are we not healing?” no response. “Ava?” I ask but still no sound from her. I feel myself starting to panic. My world has been with me for five years. I can't go back and begin again. I sniff the air trying to figure out where I am or who I’m with. Taking in a big breath mold, rot, dirt, copper, iron, decay, Blood I smell blood. Panic is making it hard to breathe.
Pulling my legs up to my trying to get some warmth and that's when I hear movement. “hello? Who’s there?” I ask my throat feeling scratchy and dry like I have been eating sand for days. But no one answers me. Pushing back against the wall I felt close to I put my hands on the floor trying to sit up. All of a sudden sharp pain in my stomach as someone kicks me. Letting out a painful cry as I’m kidded over and over. A hoarse voice says “this is all your fault.” kick “even with you gone you still ruined everything I worked for” kick in the face. “I hate you” they stomp on my back. “You should have died? I should have killed you years ago.” they seethe out. Coughing trying to catch my breath. “what?” is all I can breathe out.
“because of you, he is dead. Do you know how long it took me to get him to submit to my will you stupid mutt? I finally had everything I wanted. I was the Luna. I had Sam he choose me well he didn’t have a choice but he was mine. I should have killed you several years ago then he wouldn't still want you.” “He's your mate. Why would he want me?” I wheeze out. “you are stupid aren't you? He wasn’t my mate I rejected my mate as soon as I heard him reject his mate. And do you know why he rejected his mate?” I remain silent. She starts laughing evilly “ at first I thought it was just who his mate was as to why he rejected them. And I heard it all I thought that would be enough to give me what I want. But no it wasn’t just who his mate was it was you too.” she kicks me again.” it's always fucking you, first his father wanted your mother he even told her once he would kill his mate if she wanted. But your mother wouldn't give him the time of day even though she owed him I mean he saved her and you from the poor life you had been a rouge.” hitting me again all my senses leave me.
Opening my eyes I’m in a field of night-bloom flowers. They are my favorite they range from silvery white to a pale purple that turns the fields into the night sky. Looking around I notice everything is aglow in the silver light of the moon. Sitting up and looking around I’m all alone but I don’t feel alone. There is no sound but I can feel the wind on my arms. Then I feel someone behind me. Tensing up I spin not liking someone not only was I behind me I didn’t hear or smell them. “my child doesn’t be afraid” she says. I can't reply cause I can't find a word to say I think I forgot how to talk. She's so beautiful and powerful her aura could crush any alpha aura. Her long black hair brushes against the flowers as she walks. Her bare feet made no sound. Her skin is so pale it glows in the light of the moon making her radiate. Her silver eyes are so full of love and warmth that they could melt ice. Finding my voice finally “where am I?” “I figured it was time that we talked. I need you to know some things and your grandmother is in no shape to receive my words,” she says turning to walk away. Scrambling up to follow her. “sit we have a lot to talk about I’m sure you have questions.” nodding as I sit on the bench that just appeared behind me. This is defiantly a strange dream but it's better than where I was so ill play along what did she say about grams? “what's wrong with grams?” I ask feeling the panic set in again. “like you my dear she has received a beating though for different reasons. The people who have you both want to use her power but she won't let them she won't tell them anything. She's a strong wolf.” she says with a sad smile. “I need to hold on and be strong you will be saved I am sure I gave you a pair of very strong mates with a strong family. But you can't let these people know who you are and who your bloodline belongs to not yet. Once they know you have my blood in your veins they will try and use you. They will try and control you for their selfish reasons. Once your mates find you you three must find the head of the snake and remove it from its seat of power not only in the wolves but also the hunters who have been staging wolf attacks against the other supernaturals and humans. They want a war to wipe everyone out all supernaturals. We can't have that we need you to take your place and bring peace back to the world. I promise I never intend for you to have lived the life you have. I sent you your wolf early so that you would still feel love.” I can see tears in her eyes she is truly hurt that she couldn’t do more. I want to tell her it's not her fault but I can see nothing I say will make her feel better. I just smile at her and listen to her. I take in everything she says knowing that I will do everything I can to feel better. I feel two hands rest on my shoulders turning around I see a very handsome man with a smile that could put anyone at ease. a truly beautiful woman with a smile so warm it could melt the earth. Looking between them I notice how much he looks like grams and how much his eyes look like mine. My mouth and nose look like hers. My eyes wide as I look between them “we wanted a chance to see you once last time and tell you we are so proud of you and know that we loved you so much.” he says tears running down my cheeks as I jump up and wrap my arms around his waist. This is my father and mother and I can feel the love they have for me and the hope they have that I and my mates can fix this broken world and bring in the peace the races need to live happy lives. We just hold each other for as long as the goddess will allow knowing there is nothing we can say and this will be the last time we see each other for a long time. As I take in the love of my parents I set my resolve to live through this and fix things. “it's time to go my dear” and with that everything is black again.
