My Father, My Mother, and the Moon Goddess

To say I was surprised was an understatement! Is he really hugging me right now?! I slowly raised my unbroken arm and wrapped it around his back rubbing it. After a few moments he released me wiped his tears with the back of his hand. He looked at me straight in the eyes, I held his look for 2 seconds and then lowered my head out of respect and fear. Then just above a whisper he said, "I miss your mother everyday." My eyes shot up. I only ever see my father on my birthday every year and he only tells me what a mistake I am. A waste of space. How he wishes I was never born because then he would still have my mom. "Listen very carefully my pup." My eyes were about to pop out of my sockets. Did he just say...." I will only see you one more time after this then I won't care to see you ever again. It pains me too much to look at you. Every year you look more and more like your mother and I can't do it anymore. So the week of your 16th birthday, you will be locked away in a different facility on the outskirts of the territory and after your transformation you will either die, or be put out of the territory and left to fend for yourself. What happens to your after that I don't care. During that week you will only see me, Doctor Sarah, Jasmine the pack witch, and the Beta. Also," he turned around grabbed the little box off the side table and turned back to me. He reached in his pocket and pulled out an envelope that had 'To my Darling Pup' written on it. "This is from your mother." I looked up at him very confused. "She always knew you were special not just because you were her daughter but because of what you are. She told me with her dying breath that I was to give this to you the month before your 16th birthday. It's been enchanted so only you can open the letter and read it as well as the present. I have tried over the years to open both but each time I would end up in the pack hospital. " Now I was more afraid then before. He handed both to me. I shrank back shaking my head. He looked me with anger and hurt in his eyes. "You will take it now and open it right now! That is an order! If you don't you will be given 16 lashes with the silver tipped dipped in wolfsbane whip for your disobedience." He barked. I slowly reached for the gift and the letter. He handed them to with a nod. I slowly and shaking put the box down in my lap and then opened the letter. I unfolded the letter. "Read it out loud", my father ordered. I cleared my throat and shaking read the following just above a whisper, "My dearest Pup Dana-Jane, By now you are all grown and most likely the apple of your father's eye. Happy birthday my little pup. On the full moon you will be 16. No doubt your father is going crazy, knowing that you'll be able to find your mate soon. I laugh just thinking what his face would look like. Anyway, my darling daughter you are not any normal wolf. If your father is with you he will need to protect from the world until you find your mate. The Moon Goddess came to me in a dream that you my dear will be special. She has instructed you inner animals to come to you a month before the full moon. They will be there for guidance only till you are able to transform into all 3 of them. It will take about a week for this too happen, so make sure you get plenty of rest and food for the next month because my dear pup you will need it. Make sure your father knows this. If he does not do this I will personally haunt his dreams till he obeys!!! Tehe. My dearest Dana-Jane, you are the daughter of 2 powerful Alphas, you are going to be one of the most powerful creatures of the supernatural world. Your mate will be exactly like you, only he will be stronger. I had the pleasure of meeting him already. Your father does not know this. Although, if he is listening to you read this aloud then I can just imagine how angry he is right now. I have arranged for him and his family to come to stay with you for the week of your transformation, so that he can provide you with the extra strength that you will need. Your father will receive instructions of his own from your mates family in a few days of you reading this letter. Now should your father in the event have found another woman by this time, she can not know about what you are to become. No one can otherwise, the whole pack and the world will be in danger. Dark forces will want your powers and you will have too many to explain. Have your father show you my favorite spot in he whole pack house and the Moon Goddess will guide you to what you need to find. Make sure you are alone otherwise, the Moon Goddess will destroy everything that he/she holds dear the most. Now about the little box. In it contains a necklace that the Moon Goddess, herself, had personally created for you and you alone. The only people that are allowed to even touch it is Her of course, myself, you and your mate. If anyone so much as lays a finger on it, they will die instantaneously. It's special only for you. From what the Moon Goddess had told me, it is to hide your scent and protect you from evil. I can not stress that in the hands of anyone else that they will die!! Now my end is near to be apart of this world. I know because the Moon Goddess said that I will join her in her realm in the heavens not long after your birth. I will die doing what any mother for her pup would do. Saving you. I have seen my death, I am not afraid of it. In fact I welcome it. I will only have 2 regrets, and that is not seeing you grow into the woman you were born to be and leaving both you and your father. Please stay safe and always remember that I love you more then my own life. In the necklace is a picture of me your father and you on the day you are born. Only the Moon Goddess knows how your future will be. I love you my darling pup, Mom. I could not stop the tears that flowed down my face, like water rushing over a waterfall. I looked at my father. I could not read his face. He was pure white. I blinked and softly asked, "Father" as soon as I said that he face changed. He was redder then a red moon. He eyes were blacker then the sky on a moonless and starless night. He stood up and ran through the door. By then he went full wolf. I heard smashing and crashing until I could no longer sense or smell my father. Sarah came running into my room I didn't hear a word she said. What did all of that mean? I just sat there staring at where my father changed into his wolf Maximus the letter fell into my lap. My broken arm which was in a cast was on top of the box that contained the necklace from the Moon Goddess herself. There were so many questions running threw my mind. 'What did this all mean? Why did my mother choose me over her own life? Why did the Moon Goddess choose me? My mate is comin here?' But one question to top all questions 'What happens now?' That question scares me the most. Will my father kill me? Will he take me to the pack house and treat me the way my mother intended? The only thing I could do was sob and scream.... -------------------------------------------------------------------- I opened my eyes again to find myself in an unfamiliar place. I attempted to get up only to find myself chained to a bed. I looked around in a panic. I took in my surroundings. I was in a smelly moldy room. With yet another poor excuse of a bed. This room actually had a window and I could feel the moon's warm light shinning through it. There were bars on the window which was 10 feet in the air. There was a very filthy old moldy broken sink with a toilet, if you call a hole in the floor a toilet, in one corner. Above the sink was an old broken dirty mirror. This cell had actual had 3 brick walls rather then bars like the small cell I was accustom to. I heard heavy footsteps, several in fact, coming down what looked like a corridor. I sensed 4 wolves, and one of them I could not put my finger on. I took in the smell, deeply breathing in, was that a mixture of blood, wolfsbane, and ..........silver!? I became frantic and terrified. I tried to pull free from the chains. And for some strange reason they became tighter and a needle popped out of each of the cuffs and poked me in each wrist, and each ankle. "AAAAHHH!!!" I screamed out in pain. I heard chuckling and laughing coming from just outside my cell. Through my tears I saw the Beta of my pack 2 other pack members that were regulars of my beatings and raps and the 4th just stood there. She didn't look amused. In fact she looked very angry and confused! I looked into her eyes through my tears pleading with her. She then looked at the guys, and growled. They all stopped laughing and looked at her. "What?" the Beta asked. "Give me the keys and get out!" She didn't stop staring down the Beta. When the 3 wolves didn't budge she barked and growled again! "GET OUT NOW!!!!" the 3 men jumped, and started to runaway, "OH and by the way Beta John?" He stopped and turned around, I could tell he was pissed off, "Tell my father and brother to come here immediately! Or it will be your head!!!" Beta John just nodded and bowed then turned on his heels and ran. When we could no longer sense or smell them, the girl who just became my hero, took the key ring, fumbled with the keys trying all what looked like 5 keys in the rusty old lock in the door. "Not that one." She mumbled. She tried another one. "Not that one." She growled under breath. She was becoming irritated. To say I was terrified was an understatement. I was shaking still. Tears were coming down my checks. While she was fiddling with the keys trying to find the correct one that opened the cell. I took in her features. I have never seen her before. She had long curly blonde hair tied up in two puff ball pig tails. Her built was average. She didn't look more then 5'7. Her eyes reminded me the color of grass in my dreams. Her skin, it look soft as butter and cream in color. She was wearing a red t-shirt, with black pants and black runners. She looked younger then me by 2 or 3 years. Her clothes look very expensive. Everything to me looked expensive, I was only ever given old clothes that never fit properly because I was nothing but skin and bone from lack of food. The click of the lock and her saying, "Finally. Stupid thing." She sighed in relief. She then open the cell door it screeching on its hinges. It made both of us cringe. It was then I noticed I was not crying anymore or shaking. She looked at me, with a small smile on her face, and slowly made her way to me. I also noticed the aura that surrounded her. It was peaceful, calming, and I could feel that she was projecting all of this onto me. When she made it to my bed side she looked down at me and said, "Fear not my child." I looked into her eyes, that's when she entered my brain and started communicating through a special mind link. 'It is me the Moon Goddess.' My eyes grew wide. She then with a flick of her wrist removed the chains the held me to the bed. 'I have been searching for you. I came to earth in the form of a witch name Jasmine. I happened to also be your half sister.' She knelt down beside me. I was completely petrified! THE MOON GODDESS!?!?! AND SHE IS MY HALF SISTER!! Jasmine immediately saw my panic stricken face, gathered me up in her arms, wrapped them around me, started petting my head, and saying, " Shoooosh it's OK I'm here. Shooooosh" I instantly started crying. I wrapped my arms around her and for the first time in my entire life I actually felt safe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- After I finally bawled my eyes out what seemed like an eternity, Jasmine, I mean the Moon Goddess. I mean, THE FREAKING MOON GODDESS!!! Started talking again. While she started talking, I however, sat and dried my eyes with a hanky that she gave me. It was white silk with the initials MG stitched in gold in one of the corners. It was so soft. I have never felt anything so soft in my life. She giggled at my reaction to the hanky. "As soon as I saw you, I knew I finally found you. But my dear child why are you here?" That snapped me back to reality. I bowed my head and softy responded, "T-t-this i-i-is h-h-h-how I-I-I g-g-g-grew u-u-up. I-I-I-I was the p-p-p-packs t-t-t-toy." I managed to say then ducked because when ever I said more then I should I got beat. Whenever, I spoke out of turn, I was beat. I felt anger coming from the Moon Goddess. I made myself as small as I could because I knew I said the wrong thing. Let alone speaking at all. I felt a gentle hand on my back rubbing it, I saw a her delicate hand come into my view. I quickly closed my eyes scrunching them waiting for the slaps, but to my surprise, I felt her finger underneath my chin forcing me head up, "Open your eyes my child." She ordered. I slowly opened my eyes, tears escaping them. "Tell me who is responsible?" From the cell door came a very angry powerful voice, filled with what sounds like regret, "I am." We both turned to see who was in the doorway. My, well our father, his Beta, and a third young wolf. I'm guessing my half brother. He looked to be around my age. Jasmine stood, walked over to him and what happened next I will never forget ever in my life. Jasmine transformed into THE MOON GODDESS!!!
