1 stare up at the gorgeous Goddess in awe. As much as I don’t want to be here, this is insane.
“She says she can’t see anything here. What does that mean?” My mom asks the Goddess, frantically looking between the Goddess and me.
The Goddess looks down at me, giving me a soft smile. “She’s not fully here, but not fully there either.” She explains, which only makes me more confused.
“Wait. Does that mean I can go back?” I ask and she smiles, “That’s up to you. Do you want to go back? She asks, and I nod frantically. “Yes, please! How?” I ask, needing to be back to everyone.
I love my mom with all my heart, but as someone who lost their mom, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Especially not my kids.
I know Liam will be an amazing dad, but I’m all they’ve known for so long. And I’m sure Hazel and Nick, probably all of them will step up and help, but it’s not the same as having your mother with you. I don’t want to put them through that.
“That’s up to you. Something must be keeping you here.” The Goddess answers, and I glance over at my mom. The Goddess chuckles, “I don’t believe it’s your mother, after what you just thought. Regardless, of how much you love her. She’s not what’s keeping you here.” She says.
I sigh, having no idea what could be keeping me here then.
“Maybe you don’t want to go back at all. Your life was a very stressful one. Perhaps, you like the feeling of being free. Without constantly being afraid for other peoples lives.” The Goddess says.
I reflect on that. Maybe that’s it. Maybe I want to finally be stress free. Living without constantly looking over my shoulder.
I think of all the ways my life would be easier if I just stayed here. Waited for my friends and family. Just watched over them as they grew.
As I thought, I looked around. The buildings around me started forming and I swear I could hear people chatting.
My eyes widen as I realize what is happening. No! I glare up at the Goddess.
I don’t want that. I’ve never wanted that. I want to be apart of their lives if I can. I want to stand by them, through everything that is thrown their way.
“That’s not it. I love them all, and I’d rather be with them and stressed then not.” I say sternly. As I say it the chatter dies down, and the buildings seem to disappear.
She smiles, “Perhaps it’s answers your after then.” I stare at her and then nod. “Yes… Yes answers, would be nice.” I say, hoping she’ll actually give me some.
She kind of pissed me off with that little test though, and I’m saying that knowing full well she can read my thoughts now. She chuckles as she turns around and walks away.
My mom instantly starts following her, and I follow suit. I giant door, that looks like it should be wooden, but it formed of clouds appears in front of us and she just walks through it. Then my mother. I look up at the door that

could probably fit four or five of me stacked on top of each other to reach the top and sigh, already tired of the
theatrics.
I walk through the door and see the Goddess and my mom already having taken a seat in what looks like a living room. I walk over to them, sitting next to my mom and waiting, not sure what I want to ask first.
Then it hits me, “Why me?” I ask the Goddess, who smiles warmly. “The moon man had been a plague on our kind for centuries. I watched as thousands of my children murdered by this one man, with no way to stop him. Then, I devised a plan.
I was to mate him to a wolf. A wolf strong enough to take care of the problem.” I glance over at my mom. But she didn’t take care of him?
My mom looks down at her fingers. “Though I’m not wrong often. I was wrong in this case in a sense. I got my calculations wrong, and it ended up being the descendent that was strong enough to take him on. It all worked out in the end though, I suppose.” She explains, and I stare at her with my mouth hanging open.
“What?” I practically yell at her. She sighs, “I believed that the mate bond would either cure him or force your mother’s hand. You were unplanned. An effect of the moon mans magic I couldn’t have foreseen.” I stare gaping at her, until she continues.
“His magic was powerful, and one of his main goals was to reproduce. So, regardless of your mother and father being… Cautious, you were still conceived.
This caused your mother to go into hiding, instead of fulfilling her fate. Her fear for you.
You were strong, but also weak because of your lost connection with your wolf, and the moon man’s connection
as well.
So, I mated you to an Alpha. One I assumed you’d be happy with given your history, but life gives many paths, and Liam’s choice caused that to falter. Though you two found each other again, you also gained so many more people to help and I knew you guys would be the ones to defeat him.
So, long story short, I didn’t choose you, but fate has a funny way of working out.
I’m guessing you can’t imagine your life without the people currently in it, correct?”
I nod, of course I can’t, they’re everything to me.
She smiles knowingly, “And if things hadn’t happened like they did. Who’s to say they’d be there.” She shrugs, like it’s all insignificant to her, which I guess to her it is.
I swallow. “So, you’re saying everything worked out for you.” I state, glancing at my mom then glaring at the Goddess. She sighs and nods.
“Your mother’s future was always to pass. There was no future she survived, even if she had cured him. She would have died in childbirth to a child that wasn’t you. You actually got to spend more time with her then what was planned because of the path she chose.” The Goddess explains, and I look at my mom with tears in my eyes.
