What’s Left of the moon

Day 1. Pt2 How am I alive?

Day 1, Part 2. How am I alive?

POV: Adeline  

Yeah I said it, I think I am dying. No I am not saying it to be funny. Going back almost two years, on my sixteenth birthday, my wolf had awakened. It was supposed to be a amazing day, to celebrate our birthday together. My family had come to my room to wake me up and they couldn’t. I wasn’t breathing. My heart had stopped in my sleep. I was announced dead on site. 

My family had felt my loss. When a wolf with the alpha gene dies, the whole pack can feel it. The few people who had known about my death couldn’t let me die. My father had lifted me up and started walking, with the rest of my family was close behind. They took me to our lake. They take every fallen wolf to the lake and let them float. It’s a final resting place for us wolfs who left, without a goodbye. 

Something strange happened. My family one after the other all circled me, to put me to rest and say their final goodbyes. The moon was at its peek. My mother said, it was almost as if the moon had lit up the lake, what was dark and cold, is now a glowing white. It was as if the moon had given me life, no. It was as if the goddess herself have given me a second chance at life.

I was no longer had beautiful long blonde hair with honey brown eyes. I was now a brunette with crystal blue eyes, almost white. Unlike other wolfs, when mine comes to the surface it’s the purest of whites and it’s quite large for a alpha wolf, well technically Luna. My family gives thanks the goddess every year for my second chance at life. I only worry because every year I feel weaker and weaker. I do believe the goddess is taking back the life she has given me. I only wish she would do it before I meet my mate, I can’t take anymore heart break. My mate doesn’t need the heart break.

After my sudden burst of life I was in the hospital for a month, so they can run test. I could have left after the check up or a week even, but my parents were just being protective. While in the hospital I had much time to regain my strength and a lot of time to think. I can’t help but feel something is wrong, I know for a fact that I shouldn’t have been able to survive, let alone wake up after being announced dead. There is something Majorly wrong and I can’t quite put my thoughts in it correctly.  I don’t remember a single thing about my death and no one is talking about it. Which still leaves the question,  How am I alive?

This room kinda makes me sick after a while, same old uncomfortable hospital bed, at least they bring me real food. I don’t think I’ll be able to survive on hospital Jello, ewwww. I don’t know how my parent have calmed the pack, since everyone felt the loss of a alpha, they all assumed it was one of my parents. When my family come to wake me up the morning of our birthday, they all felt the loss but wasn’t sure what was wrong. They wanted to shake it to make it a happy day for celebration. Little did they know, it was me. 

The Story that was told to the pack was it was one of the pack worrier elders that lives in the outskirts of the pack had died peacefully in his sleep. An Elder wolf especially a warrior, with age gains more respect from the pack. Every wolf who lives and dies, even ones that just pass through get logged into our books and at one point will be a apart of our history books. Anyway, That would explain the Feeling of loss, due to the status and Respect of the, “dead warrior.”

I am not sure, I like that story but there is nothing I can do. It could be dangerous to me and my family, if someone found out I magically come back. It sounds stupid when I say it out loud, but Hey wolfs are real. 

Everyone in the pack had noticed my change in appearance, they just told them it was my wolf. My wolfs name is Angelica, but I call her angel. 

She had explained to me when I had turned sixteen that my previous wolf was dying. Since a person can’t live without their wolf let alone a alpha, I had died that night too. The goddess had heard the cry of the thousands of wolfs who had lost their alpha. Angel had also told me she was waiting for the time to show herself to me. I was supposed to have Two Wolfs! Can you believe that TWO!? It’s is extremely rare. 

She had explained to me it only happens once every three thousand years. She explained that it only happens to those who are direct descendants from the moon goddess herself. After I explained this to my family they felt a lot better about the situation but was still worried because every year I do feel weaker After much debate with Angel I had decided to work out as much as I can. My parents have kept me pretty sheltered. First school, workout, home, and repeat. It’s sad honestly, Vicki gets to come over and spend the night but no going out to the movies or to a party, so no fun for me , also no boyfriends, which I’m not to upset by considering how my last boyfriend treated me. 

Thinking about it it’s not much of a loss, it means no drama. My physical strength has doubled but I feel it coming like a storm.....I am going to die again but why?
