In the mystical land way beyond the moon. The Goddess of the moon, Selene was busy creating yet another spirit child, a soul that was to be born from two of his children of the moon, the Werewolves.
Serenity, her twin sister walked in just as she was planning her fate. She gasped when she saw it. “How could you Selene, how could you give her such a fate?” Serenity the mother of the children of night. The vampires. Asked, she had just walked into Selene’s working space when she saw the creature she had just made. A spirit child that was yet to be born in the world.
The siblings, all four of them came to visit Selene for their quarterly dinners. It was Selene’s turn to host. Serenity her twin was there, her brothers, Simon, the creator of the children of the sky. The dragons. Samuel, creator of the children of the water. The Mer people and the Naga people and Seun., creator of the children of land. The warlocks and witches. Were also in attendance. Selene and Serenity were twins and the youngest.
“Oh, shut it Serenity, no one says anything when you create your children.” By this time, their older brothers were standing by the door also seeing what Serenity had just seem.
“Fine, but if you insist on giving her such a fate then I will mate her with one of my children. The dark lord would be perfect for her, and she would at least know happiness in the dark life you have given her.”
Serenity did not wait for her sister to respond as she did exactly as she said. Mating the dark lord with the new soul. “Oh, come on Serenity! Stop messing with my creation. The dark lord is hundreds of years old and the oldest of your children.” Selene complained.
Simon walked into the room.
“Serenity is right, this child will face many difficulties, you are usually the nicer one of us all but today I do not know what upset you to give this soul such a fate. But I do agree with you. The dark lord is ancient but my dragon lord, the beast would be perfect for her.”
He too acted before Selene could do or say anything and mated the soul with his dragon lord. “Simon! How could you entertain this and participate in it as well. We agreed not to interfere with each other’s creations.” Selene was frustrated.
“Samuel, brother please say something!” Samuel who has been quiet walked forward. “Well, the only solution I have to this is to mate her with one of mine. Alex the manipulator, he is going to take her away into the water and none of your children will ever find her.” Samuel was just like his children. Manipulative and cunning.
He too did what the others did, gave the soul Selene created another mate, a ruthless sea creature of the Mer people.
In anger, Selene said. “You know what, do as you please but when things don’t go as well as you think they will, then I want you all back here fixing all this.” The Moon Goddess was frustrated by her siblings. It seemed they had all forgotten their agreement not to meddle in each other’s creations.
They did this once before and it did not end well. They tried creating a spirit child with the qualities of all their children’s abilities and powers combined. What came out was something monstrous.
The thing had no soul and had huge thirst for blood. It went after all their children killing and destroying them to satisfy it’s thirst. To fix the situation they all went down to earth to kill it as none of their children could.
It was too powerful for them and they. The gods and creators of it had to come together like they did when creating it now to destroy it. after that, they agreed never to interfere with each other’s creations, and they never did until today.
“Since we are all giving her mates then I too shall give her one. You all know my children are not as blood thirsty and evil as yours. Derrick, a powerful warlock would be perfect for her. she will need peace.” Selene could not believe her only hope just joined in on the fun.
Her brother Seun was the father of the children of the land. The warlocks and witches. “Since you have all decided to interfere in my business then I want you all gone. There will be no dinner tonight.” Selene was angry and her anger was justified.
“Not a problem then Selene, we will see each other at Simon’s in three months.” The siblings agreed and left Selene alone staring at the creation her siblings had ruined.
There was nothing she could do to undo what they had done. after so much thought, Selene released the soul she and her siblings had created into the world.
She was not sure how it would turn out or what consequences their actions would have on the child or their children. She was worried that the child was going to create chaos into the world just like the last one did.
Months passed with Selene keeping a close eye on the spirit child. On the nineth month, the child was born. Everyone thought she was of beta blood, but she was of alpha blood and the one they thought was of alpha blood was the one who was of beta blood. A twist of fate if you could call it that.
The child was also born with unusual markings. She had the marking of a witch, of a dragon, of a merman, of a wolf and fangs of a vampire. No one knew what they meant, and the parents never questioned it. they were just happy to have a child, but they knew she was going to be something special.
The beta had questions though, he knew his mate was cheating on him with the alpha, as he was cheating on her with the Luna. He wanted to ask who the father was but he knew he had no right to question his mate as he too was cheating and did not know if the alpha’s son, was his or the alpha’s.
NINETEEN YEARS LATER
It was the day of Eric’s eighteen birthday. The alpha and Luna wanted to do something big for his birthday, mainly because they were hoping that their son would find his mate from one of the alpha’s daughters invited.The night started out joyously. Everyone was excited about the possibility of finding their mates. Eric was also excited; he and Maria had been busy with different duties on the day, so they had not met yet.The future pack leaders were busy preparing for the young alpha’s birthday, sorting out the last-minute details of the party.Maria only sent her best friend a text wishing him well on his day and promised to give him his gift when they see each other later.Maria, the beta’s daughter, could not wait to see their future Luna and her best friend’s mate. She was sure Eric was going to find his mate this night. “Look who we have here, where is your twin?” asked the future gamma meeting Maria coming back from the border.“In case you didn’t know dear Gamma, I am a year o
Eric came back from the cottage where he was getting dressed. He could not wait to see Maria and get his gift. She told him that it was something he always wanted, and he could not wait to see what it was.When he got inside, he could not see any of the pack leaders. At the door was the gamma and his mate welcoming the guests as they arrived. “Good you are here, please get your parents to come down here, the guests are starting to ask questions.” The gamma told Eric.He wondered what could be keeping his parents, he nodded at the gamma and walked away. But just as he was thinking about where to go look first, the most amazing scent hit his nostrils and she stood there and inhaled deeply.It was like nothing he has ever smelled before; he could not describe how it made him feel and he could not wait to see who the scent belonged to. What she looked and felt like in his arms.With a smile on his face, he followed the scent up the stairs, his heart beating fast in anticipation. But he wa
Eric stood there and watched as her best friend’s mother’s hands flew to her neck covering the wound to stop the bleeding. But the blood was spilling over her fingers. He watched as she turned pale then fell on her knees before falling to the ground.Her wolf tried to heal her, but the wound was too deep, and she was losing too much blood and quickly. Eric continued to watch until she stopped moving. He wanted to make sure she was dead and that he did it.The boy she trusted did it, she wanted her to feel the same way his mother felt when Maria ended her life. When he was sure she was dead, he turned around and left without saying a word. He was broken on the inside and even killing his best friend’s mother did not make him feel better.He never thought something like this could happen, especially by his hand. He imagined that his mother would die in the hands of rogues or some freak accident, not by the hand of his friend and the girl she considered a daughter.He certainly never ima
Maria no longer cared about the smell and the dirt on the cell as she curled in fetal position on the cement floor crying soundlessly. No sobs came out only tears streamed down her delicate cheeks. She would choke from the huge lump that continued to grow in her throat threatening to cut off her oxygen supply.But Maria did not care, maybe death was better than the pain she was feeling at that moment. But the body has a way of protecting and defending itself from harm. As she cried and the lump grew preventing her from breathing.The body continued to force her to take a breath. After being rejected by Eric like that Maria lost all hope. Her mother has not gone to see her in two days, Eric just rejected her, Maria had a feeling that things were going to get worse from that point.She did not want to face whatever was coming on her own. Her cheating father was already gone, and she had no idea what was happening with her mother, but she did not have a good feeling about that as well.E
The alpha silenced the pack, but he could not silence the excitement in the hearts of those who never liked or trusted Maria. They might have quietened down and kept their thoughts to themselves when the alpha rebuked them for the things they were saying about Maria.But they always thought that something was wrong with the girl, that she might even be a demon, because as far as they knew, no werewolf was born with markings like hers. Some speculated that she might be a mixture of a werewolf and a witch.But now they had a chance to find out who or what she really was, push her until she shows her true self. “Without wasting anymore time, I, alpha Jackson Lockwood of the Eclipse pack hereby reject you Maria Van Loveren from the pack and give you to the pack members for punishment. This sentence will last a week until you are executed on Saturday.”The already weak Maria felt the bond to the pack break, for the first time in nineteen years she felt empty and alone. Both her parents we
“Why are you still monitoring that child? It has been nineteen years already and nothing has happened. Or you like seeing her suffering because it has started, if I remember the timeline correctly, her suffering should be starting around this time.” Serenity nagged her twin sister as she walked into her workspace.“Get out Serene, I don’t want any of you in my workspace ever again.” Selene said as she pushed her sister out of the door meeting the rest of her siblings. “Nope, none of you are going into my workspace. You came for dinner, so the food den is that way.” Her eldest brother Simon chuckled.“You don’t have to worry Selene; we won’t do anything until we see what this one is like. If all goes well, then making another creation with all our powers again would be a good idea.” Samuel smirked with a plan already forming in his mind.“Don’t you even think about it, we are not making another monster. I for one have learned my lesson from the last one and am never doing that again. I
Three days have passed, and Alpha Jackson has not decided on what to do. He had hoped that the pack was going to go to Eric when he retired but now things are different. Now things there are going to hell faster than he could catch up.Now he had no Luna, no beta, and his son was kidnapped. He was all alone and had no idea what to do. Maria on the other hand was no better than the alpha, the pack members had not given her any peace.She was tired, hungry, and bruised. Her lips were chipped and looked like she was going to die at any moment. Today was a Thursday and that meant she had a day to live. “Hey Sara, I am sorry for failing you.” Maria told her wolf.The wolf chuckled weakly. “You know it’s not too late, right?” Maria was the one who chuckled this time. “We have a day to live Sara, how is that not too late? Right now, I just want to go and join my parents, maybe ask my father a few questions. Also, ask about these markings I have. They are not normal Sara.”The wolf was quiet
Maria waited until everyone was asleep before sneaking into the packhouse through the kitchen door. She had a plastic bag with her and filled it with food before sneaking out then running towards the northern border.She knew that border was guarded by the weak warriors and most of them were lazy and liked to sleep. This was made so because the northern border was far from other packs and was close to a thick forest and a mountain not to far from it.Also, there were no roads passing there and that meant that there was a slight chance for the pack to be attacked from that side and one of the reasons why Maria asked for the future gamma to go check on the border before Eric’s party.She knew the kind of warriors that were placed there and wanted to make sure that they were on their A game. They might not prevent an attack, but they could report it on time for back up to be sent their way.Maria chose this border for this reason; it was a weak spot on the pack and today she was going to
