The Alpha King

7. Lucid Dreaming

As I slowly came to, I could feel myself on something soft with something relatively heavy draped over me. When I tried to open my eyes, it felt like they were sealed shut. So, instead, I went to lift my hands, wanting to rub my eyes, hoping that would help. But, just like my eyes, my hands weren't willing to move. What's wrong with me? What have they done? As I was contemplating the worst, fearing for my life. I could feel myself drifting back into the darkness.

Except, I was still completely aware of my surroundings. I could feel everything around me. But, its pitch black. I couldn't see a thing. Am I lucid dreaming?

"Mya! Follow my voice." A mysterious female voice called out.

What? Is this serious? I cant even see the floor under my feet! Yet, they want me to follow a random voice goddess knows where. Just great... More than anything, I wish I could just go back home, to my family, to my pack. I miss them so much. I don't know why this happened. I don't know why my pack deserved death. But, one thing I know. I will get revenge on that so-called alpha. I can't wait to watch the life leave his eyes as he realizes his plans failed because of me.

I was so caught up in my anger, again. That I forgot about the voice! I started looking around hoping, who ever it was, was still here.

"Mya! We have to be quick I don't have much time! Hurry now!" The voice impatiently said.

I quickened my steps, hoping I was walking the right direction. If felt like forever before I could finally see something. There was a bright gold, and silver fury ball on the ground. As I slowly walked closer I could tell it was a wolf! But, what is a wolf doing here? Wherever I am. As I was wondering where it could've came from I started to notice the colors were anything but normal. She was majestic. I've never seen anything so beautiful, bright gold, and silver fur with hints of white. Her eyes were pure white with gold, and silver specks swirling throughout her eyes. I sat there entranced by this wolfs beauty for what felt like forever. I just couldn't look away. Then I realized I've never felt so content, happy, or safe. As I felt in this wolfs presence.

"Hello, Mya. Im so happy we could finally meet. I've been waiting a long time for this moment." Her angelic voice said.

"Uhm... hello. Where am I? Why were you waiting on me?" I asked, confusion leaking from my tone.

"You are in a deep sleep right now. I needed to talk to you, I used the drug they injected in you to help to connect to you, since you were in such a weak state. It made it easier for me. I know you are going through a lot right now. But, you need to know the Blood Oath Pack is in danger." She concluded.

I was stunned how does she know all this? "Why would I need to know that? Also, since you apparently know my struggles. Then why do you think I care they're in danger? The whole pack can burn for all I care!" I screamed. Im pissed! I would never help those soulless monsters.

"Mya, you'll be waking soon so I dont have much time. Stay quiet and I'll explain everything you need to know."

"Uhmmm.... okay."

"I'm your wolf, if you haven't noticed..."

"Seriously? You're just so beautiful." I interrupted out of surprise, and happiness. She's mine!

"Mya! Not now. The moon gooddess created me for a specific reason. I'm only born to the daughter of two alpha mates. So, I'm extremely rare. So, rare that you're only the third to be born. But, the moon goddess only grants two alpha mates to those who she truly deems worthy of this gift, or in extremely rare cases in loom of a threat. Sadly, in your case there is a threat. The moon gooddess picked you to be the werewolves protector. I don't know every detail of this threat. They're staying hidden. I don't even know who the threat is. We have to figure it out, and fast. Before it's too late."

I sat there shell shocked. This is too much. They have it wrong. They have to.

"No.. no.. no.. this isn't right.. it can't be. Im no protector! I couldn't even protect my pack from being murdered!!" I started bawling, fat tears streaming down my face.

"Mya, dear. I know this is hard. I'm so sorry you were chosen. I'm sorry your pack had to face that destiny for you to be the protector. You both had to be strong both physically, and mentally. Sometimes, it takes a few sacrifices to unlock that needed strength. But, I'll be beside you every step, I'll be your strength when needed. We will fight this force, and we will get retribution for all that has fallen from this evils greed." She said with determination laced in her voice.

I could feel it when I looked into her eyes. She meant every word. Seeing her so determined, made me feel even more ready to take them down.

"Since, you're a new shifter. You will have to train. Learn to shift in seconds. You need to learn to use my abilities like they are your own. This will take time. Thankfully the threat is still in hiding."

As she was talking I realized I dont know her name.

"What's your name?"

She paused, silent as she stared at me.

I could see an amusing glint in her eyes. Whats so funny about me asking her name?

"No one has asked me my name in centuries. Sometimes I even forget what it is myself!" She says as amusement is heard in her voice.

"My name is Lyra."

As soon as she said her name, I became dizzy and disoriented. I felt like I was going to pass out and throw up at the same time. I've never felt so horrible in my life. As soon as I could feel it, it was gone. I was back to feeling a softness under me, and something draped over me. Great, I'm awake again. I tried to open my eyes again, this time succeeding in doing so. As soon as I barely opened my eyes, I had to immediately shut them. It was just so bright! What the crap? Are they trying to blind me?? I tried again, this time it wasn't as bad, but it was still uncomfortable. I had to blink and squint repeatedly until finally my eyes cleared up. I was lying in a hospital room, seeing all the machines around me. It was eerily quiet in here. I couldn't even hear anything outside the room.

I went to sit up but was welcomed by pain throughout my whole body. What the hell happened to me?

"Its okay dont panic. I'll heal you." Lyra softly spoke.

Within a few seconds, I felt completely healed. I was able to sit up in my bed. I looked around the room to see a TV, a chair, and some clothes across the room from me. I got up, deciding a shower would definitely help. As I paddled my way across the room, I started thinking. Where am I? Am I still a prisoner here?

I finally waddled into the bathroom. Being immobile as long as I have really taken a toll. I turned the shower on, letting it warm up. As I was waiting, I decided to see how much I've changed during all this. But, sad to say, I look the same. Except dirty and tired. Feeling steam touch my skin. I knew it was ready to get in. As soon as the water touched my skin, I felt like I was in heaven. Standing there, enjoying the water beating against my skin. Drifting deep into my subconscious. I had no clue how long I had been. I didn't care either. I was snatched out of my little bit of heaven by the room door opening, followed by some voices, that turned frantic when seeing I wasnt in the bed anymore. I went to turn the shower off, but I was caught off guard by someone pounding on the bathroom door.

In a rushed, slightly panicked state, I hurriedly wrapped a towel around me, milliseconds before the door burst open, hitting the wall with an obnoxious thud. I stood there, shocked, what the f**k?

"Uh, EXCUSE ME!? I was in here!!" I screamed at the intruder before realizing I should've bit my tongue and just stayed quiet.

Standing there in all his asshole, heartless glory was my capture. Just staring at me. He definitely didn't hide it when he looked me over.

"GET OUT!!" I shouted. I was still naked. This became increasingly awkward. He stared at me for a few more seconds before leaving and shutting the door behind him.

In a huff of annoyance, I got dressed before anyone else decided to barge in.
