Alpha Blake novel Chapter 19

　　She sighs, I notice she has a beautiful bracelet with similar symbols as my katana. A gold necklace hangs around her neck, with a moon and three stars on top. 

　　"Selene, my real name is Carol Dianne Slate. You and I are descendants of our goddess, Artemis, our mother... sister, of goddess Selene, and Hecate....our third moon goddess.

　　Selene, you and I are rightful warriors, protectors of our moon goddess Selene, we have served to protect her from the beginning of time. We come from a lineage of warriors, and protectors. That is why, you were bestowed with the gift of our moon goddess Artemis, as a warrior and protector. Not only to our goddess but in your case, to your pack. 

　　In you are powers greater than you know. But you are yet to embrace and discover them. You are a rightful child of the moon. Stating the obvious, you are known as a moon child. 

　　You will not be able to control those powers, until you embrace your true identity, and become one with your third being." She left me more confused than how I was. What does she mean moon child? A third being? How is this possible?

　　"I don't understand.... this is too much." My eyes watered, my head throbbed and my body felt shaking. I was trembling from all this confusion. 

　　"I know it's a lot to take in Selene... but it's true my dear."

　　"Don't call me dear.  If you really are my mother... then why aren't you here with me? Why? Why did you give me up? What about my brother Ty? Or is he, my brother?...... How could you do this to me?" I yelled out of frustration.

　　 I wanted to run, to scream. I was so much more frustrated and confused than I'd been before.

　　"Selene relax, please? just..... listen!?" Hazel implored. She looked so sad and disoriented. 

　　I cried in agony. I felt abandoned, alone, and unwanted for the first time. 

　　"Sweetheart, I didn't want to leave you. But it was for the best. For both of us. I can not live in your world, it is not permitted... I can only visit in your vivid dreams. That is why I am allowed to see you only around your birthday... it was the agreement I had to do with Selene... I had no choice baby. I love you, you're my daughter, if it'd been my choice, I'd never would have given you up. But this...... is far more complicated than it seems." Her eyes watered, she graced her hand softly across my cheek. I sighted, gulping down the heavy knot caught in my throat, as I allowed my tears to fall freely down my cheeks. 

　　"Selene, I fell in love with a human. Something that is forbidden among gods, among us. I had to make a choice, to leave you behind and let you live, or they'd take you away from me either way and terminate you and your father."
