Her Unexpected Mates

Chapter 12

Isabella’s POV

 I am surrounded by fire swirling around me, the whispers of hundred of voices of people I know and people I don’t. I tried to focus on one voice but then another one distracted me; every time I failed my anxiety raised. All I wanted to do is be back in bed with my mates, to be out of this madness. I feel myself slowly sinking lower and lower to the ground. I close my eyes and just think of my mates.

 I felt the heat dissipate from around me, I open my eyes to see the fire was no longer surrounding me. The darkness from before gone and replaces with a forest bathed in the light of the moon. I look up to the sky and in not only see one moon, but I see many more. I look down at my feet, I see the grass, but I don’t feel it. My mind is a confused mess of thoughts trying to explain what I am seeing.

“It’s nice to she you again, Isabella.” A voice says.

“You hear them, too right? The voices I mean.” I say.

“Yes, the voices are the links to every wolf living and dead. Isabella you can hear them because you are the next Moon Goddess.”

“I don’t get it.” I say confused even more then before.

“Well, let me explain more. Once we complete the turning over power to you, your abilities will grow over time that is. As Moon Goddess you are connected to all the wolfs, kind of like an anchor to both the living on earth and the spirts of the dead. You will have many look to you and have many responsibilities. You get to live out your normal life before having to go through more training and what not, but for now it is time to start the turning over of power.”

 I watch the make a motion at the tress and many women walk out from behind tress. Each one of them chant something I’ve never heard of and cut their palm. I expect their palm to heal but it doesn’t the blood drips down into the ground. The vine stretched across the ground to wrap around me holding me in place as the women chanted. The pain burned ever inch of my body; I was unable to free myself no matter how hard I tried. I cry out in pain wanting it to stop, but blackness slowly invaded my vision.

Leo’s POV

 I got up from Isabella’s bed to us the bathroom, when I came back, I noticed that she wasn’t there. I looked around the room and didn’t find her, my wolf started to whipper. I try to us our newly formed connection, but nothing. I didn’t want to wake Jason up, so I decide that I was going to look downstairs to see if she started to clean again. I looked but still no Isabella I was starting to get warried. I headed back up stairs to wake Jason.

 I know he would be pissed about me waking him up, but he’d be even more pissed if I didn’t wake him up because of Isabella. I shuck his arm, he grumbled at me, I just rolled my eyes. I flicked his nose and he wake up then. He looked around and then at me.

“What the hell, Leo.” He grumbles.

“I can’t find Isabella.” I say.

“She’s probably downstairs cleaning or in the kitchen.”

“I checked and I tried the mind link.”

 That got his attention, he sat up and rubes his face. “Give me a minute and we can see if we can track her down.”

I told him that I’d be downstairs for him, I put shoes on know that she would be somewhere in the woods. She loves to run in the woods for fun or to just clear her mind, but I have this feeling that something is off. I really don’t know how to put it into words. Jason comes downstairs, he asked if I was ready to go. I nod and we leave.

 Jason is the best tracker that there is, he tracked her scent of about four miles into the woods. After that we lost her scent, it was starting to get colder the more we got into the forest. I told Jason to look around to see if there is a lake or field nearby. I walked further into the woods; I was about to turn around when I saw something that look like it could have been an animal. I went to check just in case, laying there on the freezing cold grass was Isabella.

“Jason, I found her. Come help me.” I shout knowing he was not that far from where I was.

 I take off my jacket to lay it over her, I try to pick her up when I notice that there are vines wrapped around her body. I start to pull at them, but the vines are in her skin. I wrap my arms around her pulling her body close to my chest the vines release her. I start to walk back to the pack house; Jason looks at me then down to our mate. He says something about getting her a doctor. I walk and look down at her every now and then. She had her head limp hanging over my arm, her whole body was limp. She is tiny compared to me and my brother.

 I walk through the tree line to see Jason, Alpha Alexander, Luna Oliva, and a few others that looked like doctors. Alpha Alexander took his daughter out of my arms tell me that he is taking her to medical. When we get there, she is rushed into a room and me and my brother are ordered to stay in the waiting room to give the doctors space. The Alpha and Luna sit with us in the waiting room. Isabella’s mom, the Luna looks to be calm sitting with Ace and his mate. While Isabella’s dad, the Alpha, paces in the small waiting area.

He looks at me and Jason, “You two come with me for a minute.” Me and my brother looked at each other hesitating, “I’m not going to kill you, I just need to talk to you two.”

 I get up with my brother right behind me, we follow Alexander into an empty hallway far enough away from any listening ears.

He shook his head, “Isabella did want to tell you two this, but now I see that the outcome of you two not knowing the possible outcomes of if she wakes up.”

“What do you mean by if she wakes up?” Jason snarled.

Alexander held up his hand, “Isabella know that if she were to complete the mating process with her mate, well in this case mates, that she would become the next Moon Goddess. The process is extremely painful and dangerous, her mind is trapped in a limbo state trying to reconnect with her body. We have no records of how long it will take, but if she doesn’t wake then she will slowly start to die.”

 I stare at him in shock at the idea that we could lose the most amazing and beautiful woman in the world.

**************

 It has been a very long week, me and Jason have been taking turns watching Isabella. She hasn’t woken up, but she has moved around. She will have something like a panic attack where she screams and moves dramatically. Me or Jason have to soother her with our shared mate bond, but sometimes it doesn’t always work. I sit in the chair next to her bed, I was wake and asleep at the same time asleep. I feel sparks run across my cheek; I open my eyes to see hers looking deep into mine. I stare at her in shock as she just smiles.

Isabella’s POV

 I don’t know how long I’ve been stuck in this weird limbo world. I see a bright light and I feel it pulling me, the light is warm and smells like Leo with a little of Jason. I find myself blinking at the bright white selling, I look around. I see that there is a monitor recording my vitals and an IV in my arm. I look to the other way and I see Leo, I couldn’t help, but reach for him. I run the back of my hand down his cheek, he slowly blinks his eyes open and how much I have missed his caring eyes. I smile at him.

He jumps up and runs out the room, I try to go after him, but stop when I didn’t move. My hands and feet are in restraints stopping me from moving even a little. Leo came in followed by Jason and a few doctors and nurses. I open my mouth to speck, but my throat is to dry.

“Isabella.” The lead doctor says getting my attention, “You have been out cold for a week, it will take a little bit time for your body to get to normal. I would like to examine you now if that is alright?”

 I nod giving at the doctor, she touches a cut on my arm, and I hiss in pain. Two angry growls are heard from Leo and Jason. I look at them giving them a growl back, they both bow their heads in submission. Their actions shocked me, they are both bigger and stronger than me, so why are they bowing? I look over at the other doctors and nurses to see them on their knees. Then it hit me, I woke up, I am the new Moon Goddess.

 I let the doctors finish with their exam, they said I was in great shape, but they would like it if I said overnight. I told them I wanted to go home and rest. I filled out all the paperwork, I was pulling on my shirt when Leo and Jason walked back in the room. I had to send them out because of their growling whenever the doctor touched a place that hadn’t fully healed yet.

“I’m fine, I just need some rest. You two look as if you both got hit by an eighteen-wheeler, go home and get some sleep.” I say.

“What about you? We need- “ Jason starts, but I stop him.

“I already mind linked my dad to come and get me. So please get some sleep before I have to take care of you both.” I say, lying about my dad coming to get me.

 They both gave me a kiss before leaving, they way they were walking reminded me of the walking dead. They do kind of look dead. I left the hospital and was walking to the pack house when Becca and her group of sluts following. Becca is the girl I pranked because of her spreading rumors about me and my mates. I was fine with her saying something about me, but not my mates.

“Look who lives another day.” She rolls her eyes.

“Not in the mode Rebecca.” I say walking pass her.

“Hey, I saw talking to you.” She says grabbing my shoulder.

 I didn’t think, I spun around and punch her in the nose. I hear a sickening crunch as blood floods from her nose. She falls on the ground screaming and crying like I was killing her, when at worst she’ll need a new nose job. Rebecca’s group just stares at me like I’ve lost my mind, I see my dad coming out of the pack house and I know this is not going to end well. I didn’t tell him I was awake yet.

“What is going on out here?” His voice booms.

Rebecca’s group start all talking at once about how I broke Rebecca’s nose for no reason at all. I roll my eyes if I really wanted to hurt Rebecca I could have. I close my eyes breathing deeply to calm the power running through me. I don’t need people finding out that I’m the new Moon Goddess by sensing the power coming off me in waves. I felt two hands on my shoulder, my eyes fly open to see my dad there and Rebecca’s group gone.

I wrap my arms around my dad as he does the same. I love the smell of my dad; it has always been able to calm me down when I was growing up.

“Where are your mates you shouldn’t be out here, you should he resting.” He says making me roll my eyes.

“I sent them home, they need to sleep. I swear they looked like the walking dead wolves.” I a say making my dad laugh.

“Well in that case lets get you some food and send you of to bed.”

That is exactly what my dad did, and a few hours of resting in bed had me all couped up. Ace, Pheebs, Grace, Mason, and mom all came and saw me for a little before my dad ordered me to sleep. I tried I really did but my wolf was restless, she has been unable to shift for over a week and I understand her need to be free.

I open up my bedroom window that leads to the training field, I jump out the window. I roll on the ground and spring to my feet; I take off in a run as I start to shift. I shake out my white fur, I notice that I am bigger now. As an alpha female I was always a little bigger than the rest,  but now I was may even be bigger than some alpha males. I let my wolf take over as we ran through the woods.

 My wolf ran for over four hours and wanted to run more, but then she saw the water.

Can we go for a swim, Pleaseeee? My wolf asks.

It’s fine by me, but we have to be out in time to make it back to the pack before sundown.

 After swimming for a while my wolf way tired, so I shifted back and laid on the grass naked just enjoying the sun. I close my eyes feeling the warmth on my skin, I feel something cold and wet nudge my hand and something heavy set on my stomach. I open my eyes to see Jason’s wolfs head on my belly and my hand on Leo’s wolfs snout.

“I guess you found me.” I say. “Did you two sleep?”

 Jason just licked my belly making me laugh, and Leo moved his head up and down.

Did you sleep? Jason asks through mind link.

“No, I couldn’t. I’ve been asleep almost a week I just needed to blow of some steam.” I say shrugging my shoulders.

Jason’s POV

 It has almost been a month since Isabella woke up and became the new Moon Goddess. Me and Leo has had our hand full with her. She constantly has this insane amount of power that is connected to her emotions and she is never really tired. The only thing I am really worried about is her powers because they are connected to her emotions. When we finally went back to school after Isabella was healed all the way, one of the girls from Rebecca’s pack recorded a video of Isabella breaking Rebecca’s nose.

 Some of the teens at the school loved her for it and others not so much. It had her mad that people were taking s**t about her that her powers overpowered her. She caused that lights to flicker, doors and lockers to slam, it took me and Leo to calm her down. A few days after that, me and her were in my room making out, she had taken off my shirt and throw it on the floor. The next thing I know the shirt had cough on fire, I got up and patted it until it was not on fire.

 When I looked at Isabella, she was crying saying how sorry she was. I held her in my arms refusing to let her leave. Since then, I think she realized that her powers are dangerous. She had refused to let me or Leo to see her, in fear that she’ll hurt us. She stopped coming to school for the past two weeks, she calls and texts, but it isn’t the same. I had to ask Ace and Phoebe if she was ok, Phoebe said that Isabella was working with a witch to learn to control her emotions and is going to come to school in few days.

 I was extremely excited to see my mate again, but there is just one problem. A nurse that overheard about Isabella being the new Moon Goddess and told her friends. Well it just spread from there, her whole pack knows and now some of the school does.

 I needed a run, so I gave Leo the keys to my truck telling him that I’ll meet him at home later. I went into the wood near the school, I shifted shaking out my fur and ran off I a sprint. I feel my claws tearing through the ground as I jump and swerve. I stop at the pond that is between the two packs, I lay out on the grass in my wolf form.

 I hear a snap of a twig behind me, my wolf jumps up and growls a warring. I heard another twig in another direction, now I was starting to get more aware of my surroundings. I saw a flash of white in the corner of my eye. The next thing I know is that something hard and furry rams into me. I growl and get up to see Isabella’s wolf sitting in front of me wagging her tail up and down, she licks my snout. I huff and lick her back; she starts to rub her body against mine.

“Mate” Isabella says her voice in my head.

“What are you doing out here, Isabella?” I ask.

“Not Isabella, I’m her wolf. She needed a break, so she let me out to run, but when I caught your scent, I came to find you.” She explained.

“Oh, are you ok?” I ask.

“Yeah, Isabella has a lot of fear of hurting you or Leo. I’m just trying not to cause Isabella any trouble, but I want my mates.” She says.

 I was going to ask her more about her fears, but she froze as if she was being mind linked.

“I have to go now. Alpha wants Isabella home.” She says. She lick my snout and started to the woods but turned around. “If you and Leo are not busy over Thanksgiving, you two are welcome to join us.”

 After that she was off.

Isabella’s POV

 I lay flat on the cold grass as sweat ran down my body, I have been training with Even the past weeks trying to control my new strength. I was training with my dad but after I had broken a few of his bone’s mom got too worried and banned him from training me. So, Even started to train me, I am getting better I haven’t broken too many bones.

“Get up, we aren’t finished. We still got a few more outs of sunlight” Even says blocking the sun from my face.

 I didn’t move and just gave him the bird. “I’m too tired and I think you broke my rib.”

He rolled his eyes, “Come on drama queen. Oh, I’m sorry I mean Moon Goddess.”

 He knows how made it makes me when people address me as Moon Goddess, because the people that do it are doing it out of fear. I throw my feet in the air to give me enough momentum to land on my feet.

“I’ll make you a deal. If you can get past me, you can be done for the day.” He says.

I look behind him to the pack house, “Fine, I’m like a flea I have speed be ready.”

 I run at him with all my speed, he tenses readying for impact, but at the last second, I slide to the left heading of the service entrance of the house. I almost ran right into one of the warrior’s mate that was carrying food. I step up on to a box that was on the floor and flip across the table. Two strong arms wrap around me, halting my movements. I look up to see a very mad expression on my dad’s face.

Even jogs through the door “Man, you are a flea.”

“What have I said about running into the pack house.” My dad’s voice booms.

“To not do it because someone could get hurt, but I escaped Even. “ I say smiling.

He shock his head, “Go get cleaned up, I don’t need your mother yelling at me because you got mud and blood on the floor.”

 I nod, I head to my room to take a much-needed shower before the witch show up to help me. I get out the shower to see a blond witch floating in my room. We spent two hours sitting on the floor just meditating, it was boring I think I might have fallen asleep at some point. The first time I tried I broke a few things. Now I can say I got these new powers under control.

 I helped some of the women in the kitchen to make thanksgiving dinner, but they kicked me out. I was heading to my dad’s office, he known he wasn’t allowed in the kitchen ether. The reason we are both banned from the kitchen is because when I was about 10 me and my dad, we trying to help but ended up starting a food fight. Mom was mad, she said that me and him were the biggest trouble makes in the whole pack but were the most protective too. I was about ten feet from the office, but a hand grips my arm and starts to pull me. It is Pheebs, she led me to my room. She order me to get ready for dinner, I took a quick show but didn’t wash my hair.

 I left my hair as it was, a wavey mess. I did some light makeup; I walk out into my room. Pheebs went through my clothes, she pulled out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, high heel boots, a flowy knee length dress. She through the clothes on the bed and got something out of her bag. It was a black lacy corset, she held it out to me.

“No, not happening.” I said.

“Come on please. I can’t where it, I can barely up on my jeans now that I have a baby bump.” She says rubbing her lower belly.

I wanted to fight her about it, but she pulled the baby card, “Find, but this baby better one cute niece of nephew.” I grumble.

 I put on the uncomfortable death trap; I try to lace the back not succeeding. Pheebs swats my hands away lacing up the corset for me. It was head to put on the shoes, I stand up when I finish. Pheebs walks out the bathroom waring the dress, the light colors making her look like she was glowing. We walk downstairs together, a knock at the pack house door stop me from heading to the dinning room. I answer the door, swing it open the scent hit my body like a fire. It was Leo, I couldn’t help but lounge at him, wrapping my arms and legs around him.

 He held me closer to him, with his hand supporting my butt. I rub my nose into the place were his neck meets his shoulder. My wolf was finally a little calmer, but not fully satisfied. I knew I had to let him go, I did so slowly.

“You came.” I pull away, “Where’s Jase?”

“Driving. I told him I could outrun his car.” Leo shrugged.

“So that’s why you’re not wearing a shirt.” I say, I got a shirt out of the closet giving it to him.

“Thanks.”

 Me and Leo talk for a minute or two before Jase was knocking on the door. I did the same to him as I did to Leo. We talked about what I missed in their lives since I left. It wasn’t really eventful for them, Jase still had football practice with Ace, Leo was working on a new project. I tell them about my training, they didn’t believe that I was in pain from fighting and healing in hours. I showed them a brows I got yesterday, but it looked to be over a week old. An hour and a half later, my dad called for us to come and eat.

 Some of the pack, my family, and friends were finding a set. I pull Leo and Jase towards the head of the table. I make them sit and I sat in between them. A moment after everyone was seated, the kitchen staff came out with trays filled with food. After the food was sat down, I looked at my dad and he nod.

 I rise to my feet, getting everyone’s attention, “This year my father is allowing me to give a speech, hopefully not as long as his but all the same.” Some laugh at my remark, “This year I have a lot to be thankful for, I have my parent that have done everything for me even when I have been less then the nicest kids. I have my twin who has given me the support I need even when I didn’t know it. I have family and friends, and I have two amazingly wonderful mates. I can truly say this has been one of the hardest years so far and I am grateful that I have all of you. Now let’s eat.” I say laughing.

 We eat talking and laughing, when I make eye contact with Ace, he gives me a look I know all to well.

“Hey, Leo and Jase, has Izzy told you what happened two years ago on Thanksgiving?” Ace asks.

“No.” Leo and Jase say together.

“Well, Izzy went to a friends house earlier that day and got drunk, she came home. She reeked like she took a bath in alcohol; she came to dinner. While dad was giving his speech, she got up and started throwing up. Dad was so made because she ended throwing up on one of the elder’s coat that was on the floor. I think that was the maddest I’ve ever seen our dad, he yelled for hours at her.”   

 I am so embarrassed that Ace just did that to me because I could see Jase trying not to laugh and Leo just took hold of my hand. Jase kept his laugher back and just rubs circles on my back. Then it hit me.

“Well, Ace don’t forget what you did last year.” I say.

“What did he do?’ Pheebs ask.

“Don’t you dare.” Ace says glaring at me.

“Oh well, he had a hangover from the night before, so he decided to into my bathroom and take some pain meds. The thing was that they weren’t regular pain meds, they were my meds for my powers. I hear him shouting in my room. I go in there to see him holding out an umbrella like it was a sword he was taking about how there was a green dragon attacking him. He ran downstairs to hide under the table, there was a ferrous dragon. It was a scary three-foot-tall kid in a green dragon onesie.” I say.

 Leo, Jase, and Pheebs burst into laughter. Dinner went as well as it normally does, no one ended up covered in food. I lay in my room with Leo and Jase, just relaxing after eating a ton. I wanted to put on some more comfortable clothes, but I was too lazy. I had my eyes close as Leo plays with my hair.

“How are you doing?” Jase asks for the millionth time.

“I’m better then I was.” I say again.

 I sit up, I closed my eyes letting my aura extend from me. The power, the strength, and the love I have. I could feel the bed move, I open my eyes to see that both of their eyes had changed. I lay back down on the bed, explain to them that I was indeed fine. I told them that I’d be coming to school on Monday, they we’re happy about that.

 Back at school, it was nice being back. People acted wired around me by avoiding me. Some bowed their heads, some even ran away, classes were ok. I spent a lot of time talking with Jase and Leo, we all had lunch together. I felt eyes on me all day, and when I tried to find the eyes that was staring at me, I couldn’t find them. I stayed after school a little longer then I normal, I walk down the hallway to the school parking lot. I was may be few yards from the door, I felt something cover my mouth. Something hard hit the back of my head and everything went back.

****

 My vision was trying slowly coming back to me. My eyes finally open, I tried to move but my hands didn’t. I looked down to see chains wrapped around my wrist, arms, legs, feet, and chest. A needle was stuck in my arm, the tube connect to the needle had warm red liquid flowing through it.

“She’s a wake, put her back down.” A formal voice say.

“Yes, Alpha.” A man says.

The formal man move closer to me. “She is the key.”

My eyes widen, it was Mr. Wyatt.

Mr. Wyatt held my chin, “You are going to make my army, and I need you alive … for now.”

A sharp pain was stabbed into my neck, thing went black again as I slipped into unconsciousness.
