Chapter 8

RAYLYNN POV

I was now able to get up and move around to stretch out my muscles. Lucian my mate and the pack Alpha has been in here every minute he can he even sleeps in the chair next to my bed. I know he wants to know all about my past, the things I have been through. I don't know if I can tell him, it's a sign of weakness to cry, and as long as I can remember I have had to be tough. I have never been allowed to cry, or even have someone to cry to. 'Ray, I know this is all different but it's our time.' 'What do you mean Freyja?' 'It is our time to be happy, to be loved, we have run for so long it is time for us. I know it is all new and difficult and you know you are my human and my best friend. I will always be here for you, and you know this.' 'I do Frey. I understand.' She did not need to say anymore I knew what she meant. Just because we wanted to, did not mean any of this was going to be easier.

 As I am in my thoughts, I was caught off guard by none other than Lucian himself. I came to grow to the sparks that follow his touch. Andrew followed behind as did Abby. "Raylynn, we need to talk." His voice was still deep and husky, but you could feel the worry in his words. "Okay, I guess". We sat in silence for a few minutes and both Frey and I were getting impatient. Everyone was looking for either worried aka Lucian, nervous aka Andrew and beaming happily is Abby. Now, this causes me to be panicked by all the different emotions in this room.

I could not take anymore "What is wrong with you three?" They stiffened at my words then I heard the sweetest voice that caught my attention. "You are my daughter." Everyone's heads snapped in her direction, and I slowly turned to face the woman who said this. Her eyes filled with tears as she gasps and slowly strides towards me. I am frozen in my tracks and can not seem to breathe. She takes her hand and lifts it to my cheek and down to my birthmark. As she struggles to hold in the tears. 'Ray, take her hand.' 'What? Why?' 'I do not know I just have a feeling that is what we need to do to understand.' So, taking a deep breath I reach my hand to hers and grab her soft hand. Suddenly the room went black and flashed white.

I was standing in a field near a small family home. I saw the woman whose hand I grabbed but fewer wrinkles and light in her eyes working in the flower garden. Then a boy ran to her no more than five years old screaming "Mommy, Mommy Andrea is chasing me." He hid down behind the woman's legs and then a little girl ran in the same direction. I don't know why but I moved closer. Most people would be petrified right now but apparently, I am not sane. The little girl I could not see her face. She began laughing "Mommy, Andrew took my doll again and so I chase him, and I make him give it back." "Andrea darling be nice to your twin brother." Then a large man whose similar features resemble my own grabbed the little girl and hugged her tight, "That's my princess. Never underestimate anyone male or female. Always stand your ground and follow your." He pointed to her chest and the little girl finished his sentence, "Heart daddy." She hugged him and the others joined in for a family hug. Out of nowhere the little girl turned and looked directly at me. Her eyes, her hair, her birthmark. It was me. Without notice, I was yanked back to reality. I dropped her hand and covered my mouth and began sobbing uncontrollably.

All these years, I have been alone. I believed my family was dead, I was orphaned. All this is surreal. I am trying to process everything when it finally clicks. I snap my head in Andrew's direction without a second thought. "You are my brother", I looked to the woman, "You are my mother." They both nodded in agreement with my statements. Hold up I just saw the past. My eyes must be bulging, Lucian is close to my side in seconds. "Raylynn, are you okay my dear?" I did not move or speak. "Alpha she is in shock," Andrew spoke his voice cracking trying to keep his posture. "It happened, didn't it?" the woman spoke her voice calming and soothing. "What are you talking about Amanda?" Lucian spoke reaching out his hand to help me, but I refused I was not grabbing anyone's hand for a long time. What is happening to me? This is crazy all I did was wake up this morning in the hospital thinking of my future then apparently, I have a mom and Andrew is my brother and then took a trip to the past. Yes, that sounds like I do not belong in a hospital room with padded walls.

"Raylynn are you ok?" Lucian asks again so sweetly trying to comfort me with what happened even though he doesn't know. I do not even know what happened myself and trying to explain it to them is harder than experiencing it. "Wait, what do you mean it happened?" I asked the woman Lucian called Amanda. "You see it haven't you. You went back." I just stared at her. "Mom, please what are you going on about," Andrew asks as confused as everyone else in the room. 

She took a deep breath and looked directly at Andrew and to me, "It is time for you both to know the truth." I looked at Andrew then to Lucian as I stood up to my feet feeling weak from prior events. "Truth about what? Someone needs to tell me something it was not too long ago I was a rogue and now I am time traveling." At those words, Abby, Andrew, and Lucian snap their heads towards me, Andrew is the first to speak "What the hell did you just say?" Lucian looks at me like I have eight heads growing. Amanda raises her hand drawing our attention back to her. "It is time I told all of you the truth." She walked to the window and our eyes followed her. We needed the truth, hell with them I just experienced this I needed the truth. "Please, tell me what is going on." she took a deep breath and a tear fell from her face, "It is time to know who we are, and it is time for you to learn the prophecy." 

Silence complete and utter silence. No one talking anything. You know me always the fast one without thinking. "Prophecy like in the books type prophecy?" Lucian tried his best to cover his laugh, but I could still hear him. I groaned at his actions I was trying to be serious, what came next, I did not want to hear. "Yes, my daughter, the prophecy. This prophecy is about you." 

This prophecy is about you." My mind has melted, what is sospecial about me? Before I know it the darkness consumes my body once again. Mybody collapse and I feel the tingles from sparks, faint but they are there so Iknow Lucian has caught me from hitting the floor. I hear mumbles but cannotmake out the words. I decide to let the darkness take over with only onethought resonating in my mind. You are the prophecy.
