Alpha's Rebirth Twisted Mate

02

I woke up with a start, sitting up straight making me feel dizzy. My head felt heavy as if a ton of rocks had been placed in them and my vision was a bit distorted. I took in a few breaths to ease the nausea and also clear the fog that was clouding my mind. Once everything cleared I realized I was on soft covers, which was weird, very weird but I couldn’t understand why it was weird in the first place.

I turn my head and look around, only to find that I was in a room, a room I had never seen before. I get out of bed but I end up falling, for some reason my body parts weren’t cooperating with me today. I slowly stood on my shaky feet and surveyed the room, there was a four poster bed, a dresser, a big ass closet and a door that probably led to a bathroom, which made me suddenly feel like using the said bathroom.

After doing my business and cleaning my hands, I went back to the room and my eyes immediately landed on the pictures on the dresser. I go towards them and pick one of them up, it’s a picture of me, my parents and Casey. We were on a beach somewhere and we looked happy and free. But something didn’t feel right, because I don’t remember ever taking that picture with them nor do I remember ever going to any beach.

I try to remember but nothing pops up, absolutely nothing and I am not just talking about the picture but everything, there is a huge gap in my memory and I remember nothing before waking up. I started to pace the room, probably wearing a whole through the carpet but I was freaking out, something was seriously wrong. I push myself to access my memories but then a blinding pain crashes through my skull drawing a scream from the depths of my throat.

Memory after memory assaults me, making me fall to the carpet curling into myself crying my heart out. I remember everything now, I died, more to the point I was killed unjustly and so were the rest of my family. I watched the people I trusted and loved as one by one gave false testimonies against us, people I consider friends and family.

“Oh my god, Vanya…are you alright? I heard you scream” I would recognize that voice anywhere.

“Casey?” for some reason I ask. I want to be sure just in case I was dreaming. She helps me from the floor and I can’t resist the urge to touch, just to be sure that she is real, that this is real. Or maybe this is paradise? I get to be with my family in the afterlife. I mean that’s how it usually works right? Yes, that’s probably it because there is no other logical explanation.

“Damn, it’s so good to see you, I haven’t seen you in so long...by the way, have you seen mum and dad? I want to hug them so badly, I’ve missed them too” Casey gives me a strange look but I ignore it, everything else is already forgotten except excitement to see my parents and to hug them, the last time I saw them in a while was when they were killed.

“What are you talking about Vanya? You know our parents are dead” I can see the pain that flashes through her eyes when she tells me this.

“I know they are dead and so are we” I was confused by her sad looks. If we were all dead and in the afterlife, then why the hell was she sad. She should be happy that we are all together despite everything that happened to us.

“Are sure you are okay? You are not making any sense…we are not dead” she reaches her hand towards me touching my forehead as if to check if I had a fever or something.

“Yes I am, but it seems you are the one who has lost her damn marbles…we f*****g died Casey, how could you forget that? That all four of us were killed. This is supposed to be the afterlife, where we get to be reunited and live peacefully.” I am beginning to get frustrated and I hate the fact that she thinks we are alive but our parents are dead.

I stand up and start pacing again. Nothing was making any sense. Everything was jumbled and confusing since the first instance I woke up. I was literally panicking and I could feel a panic attack coming on, I used to have them when I was younger but I haven’t gotten any since I turned thirteen.

“Breathe, Vanya, breathe…in then out, in then out” Casey directs me while pulling me close. I had not even realized that she had also stood up.

“What’s happening? You haven’t had a panic attack in years…and what’s this you are talking about, about all of us being dead” she asks once I get my breathing under control. I look at her, really look at her and realization hits me that she absolutely has no idea what I'm talking about. That none of what I am saying is making any sense to her.

“When did mum and dad die?” I asked her because I desperately needed to make sense of what was happening because as I had mentioned, something was wrong, seriously wrong.

“They died four years ago, in a car accident as they were on their way to their anniversary dinner…what’s going on Vanya, you are beginning to scare me, when I left you last night you were totally fine” I could see the fear and concern in her eyes but I had no way of reassuring her because what she was telling me wasn’t the reality I knew.

Our parents died the same day we did and not in a stupid freaking accident. Everything was confusing, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, everything was suffocating me. It was like I was losing them all over again and I couldn’t handle it and so I ran out of the room with Casey shouting my name, but I couldn’t stop. I needed to be alone.

Tears were clouding my eyes and I didn’t even know where I was or where I was going but I didn’t care. I just needed to get away. I ran down a long flight of stairs by passing people who stared at me strangely, none of them even registered in my head, my mind was just too preoccupied to care.

I ran out of what seemed to be the main door and I just kept running with tears falling down my face and confusion clouding my mind. I finally reach a clearing near a stream and stop because exhaustion takes over my body. I fall in a heap near the bank and just cry, letting all the frustration and anger I feel out.

I couldn’t believe this, after being wrongfully murdered was this the afterlife the goddess chose for me, for us? If indeed I was dead, couldn’t I finally get peace and be allowed to be with all my family in the afterlife? I hated what was happening mainly because I had no idea what was happening in the first place. Just thinking about how f****d up things are and have been makes my blood boil.

“Would you calm the f**k down, you starting to get on my nerves” I hear an angry voice mutter, which makes me turn to look around but nobody was there. I am now hearing voices, after everything I have been through the moon goddess has added crazy to the mix that is now my life.

“Cut the crap, you are not going crazy…I am your wolf” I hear the voice again but this time I actually laugh because I never had a wolf so of course I was doubtful.

Wolf my ass, I thought to myself. All these years of wishing I had one and I finally do get one after dying? I call bullshit.

“You do realize I can hear your thoughts right? And yes I am your wolf and my name is Eclipse not that you even bothered to ask and you are not dead”.

It was honestly hard to believe that she was an actual wolf claiming to be mine but that wasn’t what caught my attention, it was the last part of me not being dead. Now I knew she was batshit crazy because there was no way I would be alive, was there?

“First of all I am not claiming anything, it is the truth and secondly, calling me batshit crazy means you are the same since we are the one and the same person” now that she told me who she was, I recognized that her voice was coming from inside my mind and not on the outside and if what she was saying was the absolute truth then it means I now have more questions than answers. I didn’t even know where to begin. I was actually thinking of asking her for answers, did that make me crazy? The fact that I was actually considering talking to my wolf as crazy as it sounds, a wolf that I didn’t have before I died.

“I see you have met Eclipse, she has strong character and quite the attitude but she is powerful and I believe she is the best fit for you” the voice that murmurs next to my ears startles me making me stand up alert.

Turning around I come face to face with a woman that I can only describe as enchanting. I don’t need to be told who she is because I already know. From her silver eyes and white long hair that reaches past her tail bone and beauty that is completely out of this world, I knew she was the moon goddess.

“My goddess, it is an honor” I bow before her, giving her the respect she deserves.

“No need for that my child, stand up…I don’t have much time to explain things to you, since being in the mortal realm for far too long drains me” her voice chimes beautifully around me, almost hypnotizing me into a trance.

“I am sorry for the hand that was given to you but you must understand that there are powers at play that seek nothing but destruction. As a deity we aren’t always allowed to interfere with what goes on, on earth but your case is different. As Eclipse said, you are not dead, simply reborn to fix what had happened previously and what would happen. I hate to put such a burden on you but there is no other choice, should you fail all packs will fall but it will not end there, life on earth as you know it will end” she looks at me her eyes boring into mine.

“You wanted revenge and this is your chance, you have it so don’t waste it” she adds after I remain silent trying to take in what I had just been told.

“What about my parents? Shouldn’t they be here just like Casey and I are?” I couldn’t help but ask once everything she said settled in my mind.

“Their time was up and they had accomplished their fates, but you and Casey had not. Each of you have their own paths to take, paths that are important in what is to come. She doesn’t remember the other life simply because I wanted it that way, she isn’t as strong as you are and knowing what had happened would have probably broken her but that doesn’t mean she isn’t as important as you are” I hated it but she was right, Casey wouldn’t have been able to handle what had happened to us if she had been able to remember.

“I must leave now before I get too weak. Eclipse will be there to help and I will also help as much as I can without disrupting the fates. This lifetime has a few changes and they will unfold as you go but a word of caution, be careful who you trust, not everyone is as they seem and finally be very careful with your decisions because each one you make will have a domino effect, either it will save or destroy the world. That’s all I can say for now, remember I am always watching over you my child, you are never alone.” Kissing me on the forehead she disappears as quietly as she appeared.

Everything she’s told me keeps crashing into my mind over and over again. I couldn’t believe that I had been given a second chance, and while I am sad that my parents weren’t here with us I was glad that Casey was with me even though this new life seemed different. After going through everything it finally starts to settle and I begin to relax, releasing the tension that had grasped me.

My mind goes back to the day we died, I could remember every single person that betrayed us but instead of the pain of betrayal I felt at that time, all I felt now was fury, red hot fury. I was back and I was going to make every one of those bastards pay, I will rain hellfire down on them and watch as they burn and after I was done with them, Alpha Axel would be next, it didn’t matter if he was more powerful, one way or another I will make him bleed. I will save his family but I will make sure he won't live long to enjoy their presence in his life.
