The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter thirty eight

Moon Goddess Selene.

I see a shimmering river in front of me. It’s so blue that when the sun shimmers off it, it looks like it has blue crystals in it.

It’s like nothing I have ever seen before. It’s mesmerizing. I don’t think even those words give it justice.

I look across the river and I see a big white and gold wolf, grinning at me.

Shay, how did you get over there? She chuckles. Izzy, we are in the realm of the moon goddess. Why would we be in the realm of the moon goddess?

Shay laughs, you have been here once before. Do you not remember?

Selene has been watching over us since the day you were born. I always knew I was your wolf, I was always meant for you.

Oh. Was all I could think of. Turn around,

Izzy. Turning around,

I see the same beautiful woman I saw when I was eighteen.

Izzy, I know you want answers, I’m here to give you a few.

I know that you just turned twenty-one, everything is so overwhelming. I wouldn’t blame you, if you were angry or upset, you have every right to be.

That’s also the reason I gave you Taylor as your mate.

He can help you. There are still things you both don’t understand, and it will take both of you working together to stand a chance of what’s lies ahead.

Ry will help Taylor to understand. But you need to complete the mating bond with him soon. It will only make you both stronger.

I’m scared. What if he decides I’m not good enough? Or I’m not what he wants or he decides to reject me?

Oh, my child. He won’t. He has been looking for you since he turned sixteen. He has never stopped looking for you.

He has waited for you through all these years, why would he leave you now that he just found you?

Why was he able to feel me and I him? Because Ry and Shay are connected. They share a special bond they didn’t know existed till you and Taylor met.

Once you complete the mating bond, you’ll gain a clearer picture of his true intentions.

The intensity of your feelings for each other will only grow, allowing you to truly understand him and his emotions.

You both have very special wolves that have been granted special abilities.

Once Taylor and you are completely bonded, you will each receive abilities.

Each year on your birthday, another one of those abilities will manifest till your twenty-fifth birthday.

You and Shay already have abilities. But you won’t be able to access it till you mate because you both will receive my gift to you both.

I know this is a lot, Izzy. But trust your mate. He will help you, and you will help him.

Malcolm does not know where you and your family are. You have time. But use it wisely. The more time you waste second-guessing yourself and your mate.

Malcolm is closer to finding you and everyone you love.

Your grandma can explain things to you. But it’s time for you to go. We will talk soon, but remember to use your time wisely.

Stop doubting yourself, just follow your heart; it will never lead you astray.

Izzy’s POV

Will Taylor even understand things that I don’t understand myself? How do I tell him I want to complete our mating bond? Can I really trust him?

The moon goddess will not tell you something that can hurt you. She is only trying to protect you, says Shay.

Trust in yourself and our mates. They will not hurt us.

Shay, sometimes I feel like you only telling me to trust them so you can see his woodie grins, Izzy. I would never!! Yes, you would, and we both know that, giggles Izzy.

I want to trust our mates. How do I tell Taylor? Oh, by the way, I want to complete our mating bond. After you will get powers the moon goddess has given us.

Shay laughs. Well, when you put it like that, he’s gonna think we’re both crazy and run away.

SEE!! You said it yourself, laughs Izzy.

Izzy, just follow your heart; the rest will work itself out. Taylor will understand when the complete bond snaps into place.

OK, fine, you win. I say pouting. I still don’t know how I’m gonna tell Taylor I want to complete the mating bond.

I can help you with that, smirks Shay. Yeah, I don’t think so. I’ve seen your kind of help already, as my face turns bright red.

I think I will just let things happen naturally.

Are you sure because… oh no, Shay. I don’t want to hear it… singing to myself trying to tune out Shay.

Shay laughs. Alright, will do it your way.

It’s time for you to wake up. Our mates are waiting for us.

I’m scared, Shay. I promise you, Izzy, I will be right here with you. Now, wake up.

I open my eyes to a blinding light. It takes my eyes a few minutes to focus. I realize we are not in our room. Everything is white.

And I hear beeping, like monitors. Why am I in the hospital? Maybe because we have been asleep for two days.

What!!! Shay laughs. I look over, and our mate is sitting by our bed. I can’t say he’s waiting patiently because he looks like a hot mess, Shay laughs.

Well, he’s our hot mess, true, but he needs a shower. Stop before you even think it, Shay!

What did I say? That was the point, Shay!

I know something pointy. I groan. Did you really have to go there? No, but I’m sure our mates will, Shay grins!

OMG, I’ve created a monster, I say laughing.

Things could be worse. Now I just have to have a conversation with our mates. But I still need to talk with my grandma too.
