What have you done?

3.

“Goddess, what happened?” Marlene asked the moment she heard Selene's voice.

Selene turned and Marlene gasped. The moon symbol was no longer glowing.

“Y… Y… Your moon symbol!” She exclaimed, moving closer to her.

“I don't know what's going on,” Selene muttered and quickly sat down. She tried to listen and see if she could hear the voices like she normally does. She could still hear the voices, and she sighed in relief, but when she wanted to give mates, she realized that she couldn't find the perfect match anymore.

She gasped again. “This can't be happening. What happened to me?” She panicked.

“But you were fine before you went down to the land of mortals.” Marlene said.

“Yes, the land of mortals,” Her thoughts drifted to when she touched the baby and felt something leave her body. “Could it be?” She asked herself, but she shook her head immediately. “No, it can't be. He's just a baby.”

Marlene furrowed her brows. She was confused as she didn't know what the moon goddess was talking about.

Selene was restless. How on Earth did she lose her powers? This wasn't good. If the council of gods heard this, they would scold her for sure. She was a supreme being, but that didn't mean she had no superiors. She still had people she looked up to, and those were gods that had existed even before she was born.

They weren't going to be happy with what just happened.

She disappeared and appeared to look at the boy. He was fast asleep in his crib. Just the mere sight of him warmed her heart and made her forget what she was there for in the first place. She had this natural love for babies, but it was different with this one.

Something about him made her heart stir in ways she couldn't fathom. When Queen Bathsheba entered, she snapped out of her thoughts and checked if there was any moon symbol on his head.

“There's nothing here, but what happened to me?” She asked herself.

If the child had been born with any special gift, she would have known, but he was just an ordinary wolf. She paced around the room, thinking of what was probably wrong. He awoke and she looked down at him.

His gray eyes bored into hers one more time, making her heart skip.

“What is wrong with me?” She pulled her hair.

Could her powers have gone to the baby? If so, he should have seen the moon sign on his forehead. She gazed at his olive colored skin, her attention on his forehead, but there was nothing there.

She wanted to touch him but withdrew her hand. What if her powers were truly in him?

“Dominic is your name, son. You look a lot like your father. He was a brave man; the best thing that has ever happened to this pack and the best Alpha in all Werewolf history,” Queen Bathsheba said as she breastfed the baby. “You know what, I'm deeply grateful to the moon goddess for saving me that day. I know she saved me because of you. I can't thank her enough. She gave you the opportunity to continue your father's lineage, and I'm certain that you're going to break your father's record and make this pack whole again.” She massaged his forehead.

Selene found her words heartwarming. She had received praises from different people before this one. People have eulogized her for the numerous things she had done for them, but she was moved by Queen Bathsheba's praises. Never in her existence had she experienced such a thing before and it kind of felt alien to her… but in a good way.

“There is something about this baby. There is definitely something suspicious and strange,” She said.

His eyes glowed a bright shade of yellow and she gasped. It was indeed true. Her powers were in the baby, but how? How did it happen? She only touched him. She didn't command her powers to get to him.

With a sigh, she disappeared and appeared back in the realm.

“Moon goddess, were you able to find it?” Marlene asked.

“My powers got transferred to the baby,” She mumbled, but Marlene heard her loud and clear. She wasn't supernatural for nothing.

“Oh no! Were you able to get it back?” Marlene asked.

“I wanted to touch him like I did before, but I couldn't. I didn't know if it would come back to me or if others would go to him. He's just a child. He can't give people mates. I've never been this confused in my life!” She snapped and the realm shook.

Marlene rushed to her immediately. “Calm down, please. You can figure this out. You're the moon goddess. Nothing is impossible for you to do.” Marlene cooed.

The moon goddess' anger wasn't a good one. And that was why werewolves feared her wrath. Marlene knew this and tried her best to keep her calm.

Selene paced around. “This one looks quite impossible. I've tried to listen, but I can't seem to get anything. All I keep hearing is people that need my help. I want answers but one minute, it looks like I'm about to grab it, and the next, it is gone.” She sighed and facepalmed.

“I believe in you. We all do. You will find a way out.” Marlene comforted her.

After pacing around for a while, she sat down and tried to meditate again. She was supposed to be perfect and without flaws. She was supposed to be all knowing and little things like this shouldn't be this difficult for her, but why was the case with this baby different? Why was a little child making her so worried and anxious; something she hadn't felt before in her history of existence?

“Who are you, little baby?” She asked, massaging her temple.

A cold chill ran throughout the whole place, and she quickly stood up.

“Moon goddess…” Marlene trailed off.

“I know. They're here,” She sighed and took her Scepter. She exhaled, raised her head up high and walked to the meeting room.

When she opened the door, she was stunned by the furious faces in the room.

Their eyes darted to the faded symbol on her forehead.

“What have you done?”
