Chapter 34
I am running as fast as my legs will carry me. I hope that I had a good enough head start at some point in my escape I remembered they can track by smell and asked the forest to cover my scent. I see a small cave up ahead and pick up the pace thinking I can hide out in there for a while. What I didn’t account for was that they could still link other members of their pack. Just a few feet away from the cave I could seal myself away in. So close I could touch it when a small gray wolf lands on me. From the size I would say female but who can tell with all that fluff. Landing on my stomach I still try and pull myself to the cave. This wolf is not having it grabbing the hospital gown I am in its mouth pulling me back to it. It was like it knew if I made it to the cave there was no way they could get me without my help. Giving up knowing I had lost I go limp on the ground. I am too hungry to thirsty and too weak to put up much of a fight.
A dark brown wolf comes from the front of me still on my stomach I had to lift my head to see the wolf. I notice its eyes glaze over for a second before it disappears to my side. I feel the other one lift its paw off my back I am about to try and move again when I feel a heavier paw land on my back. I feel the weight of the paw holding me but it's not pushing me or trying to hurt me just keep me in place. I hear the tell-tale sound of bones breaking so the little one must be shifting.
Two small peach feet come into my line of sight. Raising my head I see a small girl. She must be young still due to her being smaller. I just stare at this girl waiting for her to talk.” I’m gonna help you sit up so we can talk don’t run okay?” her musical voice sings out to me. Her voice reminds me of the one that's been in my head for years but it's also a little different. I nod knowing I have no choice but to do as they ask of me. The bigger wolf moves its paw from my back and the girl helps me sit up. “you are gonna stay and talk to me right I don’t need Noah here to keep you in place do I?” she asks and I shake my head. Something in her tone told me not to test her so I just sit with my head bowed down. I hear her tell the other wolf I am guessing is Noah that he can head back and tell Isaac and Anthony to calm the hell down she is fine.” the huge brown wolf nods his head licks her cheek and takes off. “mate?” I ask her curiously she shakes her head “Nah, best friend, cousin, and Lune to the green lake pack.” she says with a straight face. The term Lune has me curious as to what that is. So I do not care what she thinks of me I ask her what that is. I can see the shock on her face before she takes a big sniff of me. “aw not wolf but witch right. Okay well, a Lune or Luna is the mate to the alpha.” “wait what? I know what a Luna is she is the breeder for the alpha. she makes him his heirs but a Lune I am still confused.” shock is all over her face as she stares at me. “first we deal with why you are running then we unpack what you just said.”
“So why did you run from Isaac and Anthony?” she asks me I don’t want to answer her but have a feeling I have to but I still stay silent stealing glances of the cave. “don’t think about it I’m faster” sagging my shoulders I just stare at the ground. “look I only have so much time to talk to you and figure things out before those to find us. I can smell you hide your smell but I can't hide mine and they have some pretty amazing tracking skills.” closing my eyes I know she is right. I just want to hide away and let them have a happy life one that I cant give them. “I know how wolves are. Their mates have to be pure for them and I’m not so they should find someone else.” I feel tears in my eyes trying to keep them from spilling “I was created for the devil and the devil ruined me. My only purpose was to tell aria what is coming for the green lake pack and I did that now I can end my misery please just let me go you would be a better mate for them me.” I tell her seeing shock all over her face.
“first no I would not I was not made for them you were. Second I have a mate somewhere that I am waiting to find. Who sent you here?” she asks shock at what she said had my head snapping to her “actually I don’t really know I have always had a voice in my head telling me things will be okay. One day I met the voice in a dream she was so pretty. She told me to find aria and tell her everything and that's what I did. My task is now over.” tilting her head to me just watches for a second then says “do you believe in the moon goddess?” nodding my head. You would be a fool not to I think I mean the stories tell you how wolves are made and there is a wolf in front of me so if that is true why cant the goddess from what I heard she is amazing. “good. So I know she is the one that sent you here not only to tell the queen what you know about the threat out there but to bring you to your mates. I know you don’t know anything about them but let me tell you they have not had it easy and the one thing that should be easy just ran away from them. I won't tell you their stories ill let them but just know that they will not judge you or reject you.” “why not?” I whisper not really knowing if I want to know. She tells me about how the wolves here believe in the mate bond and do not choose mates they wait for their fated mates. While talking to me her eyes glaze over for a second and then she is shaking her head. “those two are very worried about you” telling her I am not ready to go back and deal with them yet I just want to be here alone. She wont let me be alone but she did say she would tell them I was fine and to stay where they are and give me space. Sitting here with this small wolf I feel at ease for some reason like I know her but I know I don’t. “you know I speak for the goddess right I am an oracle and from time to time she speaks through me to the others” shock is all I can say at what she is telling me. She tells me about knowing that I was coming and had the border watching for me. She also knew I was mated to the twins but told no one about it. I just listen to her tell me what the goddess told her and how she is connected to everything. She tells me that she is also the beta of the green lake pack so everything I told aria she already knew. She then started telling me all about Isaac. Making me laugh at things they did as kids but what confused me was if she was such good friends with Isaac why is there no mention of Anthony. She seemed to notice my train of thoughts and told me she won't tell me everything but they didn’t grow up together they didn’t even know about each other for a long time. After a long, while I finally ask her what I really wanted to know “could they really accept me knowing I was used up by others?” I no longer try and hide my tears. “first I know you were forced so that is not your fault and no one and I mean no one will hold that against you. To them you are pure due to the fact you have never willing to give yourself to anyone. Second, most wolves don’t save themselves these days. The being pure really isn't a must anymore.” staring at the ground thinking when I feel her hand grab mine and squeeze it “give them a chance to show you what love is sweetie” “how I don’t even have a name” I am now crying as I have never cried before because to be honest since I laid eyes on them they are all I have wanted. “aria can fix that being the queen and all that do you say let's go talk to her?” I just nod as we stand up and head back.
