Alpha Blake novel Chapter 18

　　Selene

　　I was tired of waiting for Blake. He'd been out with Ty and the other alpha's most of the day. 

　　Jazzy and I had pretty much-done everything while waiting for them. We went out to explore, we ate at a nice little bistro they had in here, and chatted with Macy for a while.

　　Jazzy looked pretty tired because of her pregnancy, so we went back to the Crescent Moon packhouse, and decided on resting until dinner to meet with our men.

　　I went into my own room and decided on taking a quick shower before resting on the bed. 

　　I got dressed and patted my hair dry with the towel. I combed my hair and added lotion to my body before going to bed.

　　I soon fell asleep. Before long, I was caught in a dream that was so surreal. 

　　I'm walking through a beautiful forest. The ground feels soft, almost as if walking through the clouds.

　　I felt so at peace walking through there. The trees looked so alive, the ferns glow and gleam with happiness and joy.

　　As I walk through the forest, I begin to hear my name being called. I recognize that voice, it's the same voice I begin to hear every year. Days before my birthday, like a clock.

　　My birthday is just days from now, so this really doesn't surprise me. But one thing is for sure... I am determined to find her, determined to ask why she appears to me? What is the purpose of her coming to me every fucking year? Why?

　　I begin to run everywhere, no destination, just any way possible. 

　　"Selene...." her sweet voice echoes through the air. I know I should be mad, irritated... but, I'm not. My heart felt anxious,  just like that of a small girl waiting for her mom or dad to come back... I don't understand it. It just makes no sense.

　　"Selene...."

　　"Who are you?"

　　"Selene"

　　Her voice echoes... I can hear Hazel whimper lightly.

　　"Hazel? What's happening? Where are you?" My voice echoes through the air.

　　She doesn't answer back. I continue to run, grasping onto trees to keep myself steady.

　　"Selene.....Selene " her voice,   suddenly feels close, as if she'd whispered in my ear. I turn to my left, and I see a beautiful woman next to...."Hazel?" 

　　She sits on the boulder behind her, lifting her right hand and running it through Hazel's mane. 

　　"Carrie, maybe it's time you tell her. She's ready to hear the truth." Hazel softly looks at her giving her a soft stare, her eyes filled with worriedness.

　　She sighs and gives Hazel a small smile.

　　"I think maybe you're right sweetheart." She responds to Hazel, lifts her hands, and guides me to sit with her.

　　"Selene, my name is Carrie. I...I am your real mother." She tilts her head down and glances sadly at me.

　　My eyes fill with tears, and my heart feels as if it's been stabbed right through it with a dagger. I nod my head in denial. "No....n no, my mother's name is Rebecca, not .... you can't be....can you?" 

　　"I'm afraid it's true Selene... please... just hear her out?" Hazel implores. 

　　"I.....I don't understand. " my face fills with the heat of my tears. I nod, in denial but I need to hear what she has to say. I sit, and she grasps my hand softly.

　　I close my eyes and tilt my head away from them. The knot in my throat building up bigger, stilling me from saying any other word.

　　"How is this possible? How can you say you're my mom? I've known Rebecca my whole life.... explain yourself? Now..." I glare at both, anger and confusion overtaking inside of me.
