Chapter 133
Claire's POV
I feel an ice cold droplet fall down my face and a chill rolls down my back. Coldness surrounds me and my body begins to shiver. I open my eyes slowly to a dimly lit room, Lolly is sitting next to me. I'm laid out on a bed, rags with frigid water lays over the exposed sections of my skin. Even though the water causes chills bumps to appear on my skin my inner body is blazing.
"What happened?" I asked slowly, trying to ignore the discomfort
"You've been out for an entire day" she tells me and my eyes widen
"Martin" I whisper
"I have to tell him where I am, he's probably freaking out" I say in a rush, moving to stand
I'm shocked to have her push me back in the bed
"you're not going anywhere" she says
"it's not safe to be around unmates alphas right now, Alpha Martin thankfully dismissed the three alphas that came yesterday"
"What do you mean it's not safe? Martin is my mate he would never hurt me" that's the first time I've said that and my heart skips a beat
This time her eyes widen and she sighs somberly
"oh my dear...there is much your parents never told you." she shakes her head and begins to get up
"No! Please." Tears swell up in my eyes
"you said you would tell me...I need to know" my body only grows hotter with every emotion swirling around
She sighs and looks me over. "Alright" she sighs
"Amaris" is all she says
I raise an eyebrow "yes...that's my middle name" I shrug not getting her point
"Do you know what it means?" She asks matter of factly. She doesn't wait for my answer "child of the moon" she says "and that's what you are"
At this point she sounds crazy "aren't we all? Werewolves, that's kinda our thing"
"Silly child, the prophecy" she shakes her head
"the black female wolf will be the child of our god of the moon. He will come down in a unknown form and choose the one to bare the future of our species" she says and my eyes widen
"And...and you think that's me?" I can hardly hear myself talk. My brain starts to hurt and not because I'm extremely hot but because of everything I'm hearing.
She sighs and looks me over.
She laughs lightly
"oh child I know it's you. Do you know any other black female wolves?" She asks and I shake my head
"But my father and mother they are just normal werewolves" I tell her, my body shaking
"Your mother was chosen, she was chosen by the mood god before she met your father. They kept it from you all these years. They came to me after they realized what you were and they made me promise to never tell a soul and they would keep you in the dark about it"
Tears stain my cheeks. They kept this from me my whole life. Made me feel like the weakest and most disgusting werewolf ever in existence.
"So what am I?"
"The future my dear" she grabs my wrist and turns it over to reveal the small crescent birthmark
"this child is the mark from the moon god signifying you as the true powerful mother. The future generation of alphas will come from your womb, they will be the strongest, fastest, and bravest to ever live. They will come from powerful bloodlines of alphas, they will have a new-" she starts
"Wait with alphas bloodline? What do you mean?" I ask slowly sitting up, making sure to keep the cooling rags against my burning skin
She seems to have gotten ahead of herself and her smile fades "my dear it's your destiny...it's who you are meant to be....you will never have a mate. You are meant to mate with unmated alphas to prevent one alpha ruling all and dying out bloodlines to cease to exist. By your eighteenth birthday...tomorrow, every unmated alpha will feel the pull and their primal instinct will kick in to mate with you. They will come from hundreds of miles. Once you are pregnant you will be safe until you give birth. Your pregnancy's will be faster than the normal werewolves."
My body doesn't move. I just sit there heart sunken and pounding. This can't be true. It's not me. I'm not that werewolf. I don't want to be. "No" I shake my head my throat burning to keep down the tears.
"I'm sorry...I know it's a lot to take in. But darling this is a blessing, the moon god chose you." She tries to make me feel better
"if your parents prepared you for this you would feel much better" she says but I shake my head
The thought of never having one mate love me for me and who I am tears me apart. Martin. He doesn't love me. He has a mate out there and the reason he's attracted to me is because of what I am...not who I am. At my thoughts I break down. Tears pour out of me like rain and my whole body goes loose. I feel myself fall forward and Lolly catches me before I hit the floor. She coos in my ear but I continue my tears and cry's of helplessness and heartbreak. I refuse to be this wolf. I refuse my purpose of sleeping with alphas to give them pups. Screw destiny.
"If it makes you feel better I'm sure Martin will love to mate first"
I squirm out of her arms
"how could you say that to me?!" I cry
"I love him"
She raises an eyebrow
"exactly"
"No" I cut myself off
"you don't understand, he has a mate out there and I'm just some whore to provide pups" Tara's words come to mind
"No, once news spreads you will be treated like a queen. Alphas will treat you with kindness and respect. You will have honor in bringing the future alphas to us" she tells me and I want to scream
"you may select the alphas of your choice to create with, ensuring only pure hearted alphas for the future"
I look at her like she's insane. She doesn't get it. She makes it seem easy and amazing but it's not. I can't live this life. She continues
"That's what happened to Lawrence, he had alpha blood in him and felt the pull to you when he turned 18. Since he's known you for his whole life the pull was more evident. The only other Alpha here is Martin. If you had traveled to other packs they would slightly feel it but as I said due to your closeness with Lawrence it effected him more. My foolish granddaughter didn't listen to me....I told her what you were hoping she would understand that once you are pregnant that you would be no threat to Lawrence and her but she took it the other way...your parents knew but still forbid me to tell you"
"How could you possibly think this is a good thing?" Anger ranging through me
"what about the luna's?! How will they feel when their mate has a child with someone else-"
"How could you possibly think this is a good thing?" Anger ranging through me
She cuts me off
"no, it's an honor, if you had been raised properly with the prophecy well known you would have been ready and prepared." She says
"if every werewolf 18 years ago were told who you were and what your future would be everyone would praise you and rejoice in our future. You would have been brought up from a child meeting future prospects and been looked up to by all-"
"That isn't the case though!" I scream
"for someone who seems to think this is the way sure as hell didn't try to make that happen. You kept this from me because of my selfish parents! They weren't trying to protect me. I'm screwed. No one has prepared me, no one will be honored, no one knows! Now alphas will be after me, they will-" I think for a moment "Does..-" I choke up
"does anyone else know about me?"
"No, no one" if Martin knew I was 'the one' without telling me it would make it all the worse. Everything Tara said makes since now...the words she said when she tried to blow me up.
"Where is Tara now" I demand
"I don't know all I know is I regret telling her" she looks away from me ashamed then I put it together
