I woke up in a cold sweat, I shot up right in my bed. I grunted annoyed... "Geeze again. Stupid flashback!!" I breathed out a huge sigh. I stretched, out my stiff muscles with a grunt. I pulled the blanket off of me, threw my legs over the edge of the bed and sat on the edge. I had a bit of a little dizzy spell. So I waited a minute for my head to settle down. When it did, I pushed myself off the bed slowly, testing my leg strength. When I was steady, I walked slowly to the washroom, to relieve myself. As I was about to sit down on my toilet, I heard someone open my bedroom door. "DJ? Where are you?" a panic voice I didn't recognize call from my room.
"In the bathroom" I softly called out. I heard some shuffling of someone running toward my bathroom door. There was a knock, as I pulled down my panties to sit and go to the bathroom. "You can come in, I'm just on the toilet." I called out again. I heard the main door opened, and the shuffling of feet across the tile floor.
The person stopped in front of my toilet door. "Are you ok? Do you need any help?" the male voice asked.
I became very nervous, my heart started to race, my breathing started to get heavy. I was having a hard time breathing. When I didn't answer the man knocked on the closed door. "DJ" the knocking started to become panic. "DJ answer me" the man started to yell and banging on the door. "DJ if you don't answer I will just come in. DJ?" I still didn't answer, my eye sight became blurry, my breathing became restricted.
The next thing I know the door flew open, I screamed at the top of my lungs. "NO DON'T HURT ME!!!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! HELP!!!" I started panicking. The guy stepped forward my vision went black as he reached for me!!! Again I blacked out!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I opened my eyes I was in my safe space. Surrounded by the woods, in the middle of the meadow. I breathed in, taking in all the smells. Fresh morning dew, the smell of the air after a soft gentle rain storm. I sighed as I lied down in the grass around me, with my hands behind my head as I looked up into the sky to watch the clouds go by. The sun was raising in the sky, it was warm. I relaxed and my eyes slowly started to grow heavy. As I lied there, falling asleep, when all of a sudden I felt electricity shoot through my body! I shot straight up. To my surprise, the electricity didn't hurt or burn me, no. I couldn't described the feeling. It made me excited? That is confusing. I have never felt that before. Not only did it make me feel excited it also calmed me. "What in the name of the Moon Goddess?"
"Yes my child" a soft all to familiar melodic voice came from behind me. I turned toward the voice, and a huge smile grew on my face and hers. There stood behind me the one and only, Moon Goddess or Selena as she like me to call her.
"Selena!!!!" I jumped up and ran to her. Her arms outstretched as I collided into her. She wrapped her arms around me as she accepted me. Tears fell down my face as I wrapped my arms around her as we fell to the ground. "I missed you soooooo much!!!!"
Selena held me close, as she dropped gracefully to the ground and sat with me in her lap as I wept. She kissed the top of my head, as she consoles me. One hand smoothing my hair as her other hand made circular motions along my back. We sat like that for I don't know how long. After a while, I started to hiccup. Selena chuckled. "Feel better my child?"
I sniffled, wiping my nose on my sleeve. I nodded, keeping my one arm still around Selena. I didn't want to let her go. I wanted to stay in her arms forever. Selena snapped her fingers, and a box of my favorite Kleenex appeared on the ground to my right. The Kleenex was 3ply, made with menthol and aloe. I use to take a box with me once every two weeks when I would clean the pack house. The house would buy enough supplies for a year. So one box every two weeks or so they never noticed since every room in the house had to have at least one box and there were over 250 rooms in the house. The only rooms that didn't get one would be the 100 or so clean closets or storage rooms.
I reached for the box, and opened it. I pulled out a couple of tissues to blow my nose. I placed the box back down on the ground, along with the used tissues. I grabbed one more tissue to wipe my eyes dry. I sighed, "Yes, I think so." I sucked in a huge breath, and looked into Selena's eyes, "I don't know what to do Selena, I'm scared. I keep getting flash backs. I am so weak. I hate it Selena. I am not getting better." I felt the tears building up again.
Selena gave me a small smile. "My child, do not fret. You are healing. And you will meet someone when you wake up that is going to speed up the process." She looked directly into my eyes. "In fact, you met him before you passed out again to come see me." She chuckled.
My eyes grew wide, "What...? The guy who came into my bathroom?" I asked panicked stricken.
"Yes my dear. Did you not feel the sparks before I came to you?" She asked with another little chuckle.
My mouth dropped opened!!! Selena smiled, reached forward and closed my mouth, "Close your mouth my child. You'll catch flies!" She smiled. "My child that is your mate. I sent him early to help you heal, so you will have the strength for the transformations next month. Also, I am going to send more healing through Jasmine." She winked at me.
I shook my head. I couldn't believe it. "But Selena, how will he help me?" I asked.
Selena frowned, and sighed, "My child do you remember what the good Dr. and her daughter taught you about mates?" I furrowed my brows and shook my head. She sighed frustrated. "Ok, so your mate is the other part of your soul. Basically, your soulmate. Once you find each other, the bond will be created and grow. It will grow to the point that you will not be able to live without each other. Once you the two mates, well, mate and mark each other you will be able to feel each others feelings. Talk through mind link, with just the each others touch be able to calm each other down. You will be able to feel each other if you are physically hurt if you are separated through long distances."
Once again my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head. I started to shake. "Whhhhaaaatttt do youuuuuu meannnn by maaate?" I asked.
Selena placed her hands on each of my shoulders, looked me dead in the eye. "That my dear, is where it gets tricky for you. Considering your past, it may take some time, to trust him let alone sleep in the same bed with him." I started to shake uncontrollably, I scream. Tears start falling, I become terrified. Anticipating my freak out, she instantly had me in her arms. She laid the side of her head on the top of my head, rocking me back and forth.
She was trying to calm me, the only way for me to come out of this state, she had to do something that she never done before. She snapped her fingers, and I felt myself transported. To where I didn't know. The next thing I knew the electricity was traveling throughout my body, as I felt a pair of arms removed from me. I was turned toward a different body, I was still screaming, shaking, crying uncontrollably and another pair of arms wrapped around me.
For some reason, something was very different. I heard a male voice shushing me, rubbing my back. I breathed in, and being a Tri-bred my senses where different then a normal werewolf, more enhanced. I took in the new comers sent, and it was a mixture of the morning dew, the air after a soft rainfall, and chocolate. My favorite smells all rolled into one. I remembered the Dr. telling me that I could tell my mate is near by their smell. It will be only known to you other then their family.
'OH MY GODDESS' I gasped in my mind. 'This is my mate? And here I am freaking out. Pull it together DJ.' I pulled away, after calming down with my mates touch and smell. WOW... I could get use to this.
"Hey" a soft male voice came from in front of me. He still had his arms around me. When I realized this I jumped back and took in my surroundings. I was back in my room, Selena was gone and there in front of me was a young boy, around my age. Maybe he was older by a couple of years. I instantly missed his warmth.
I looked into his eyes, they were changing from ice blue to red. I couldn't look away. My breathing started to pick up again. "Whoooo arrrrre yooouuu?" I asked feeling a panic attack coming on.
A small smile appeared on his lips. His lips good enough to eat!!!! His face was the most gorgeous I have ever seen in my life. His voice deep, and melodic. "Scott, Scott McPherson, future Alpha of the Blue Crescent Pack." Scott replied. I watched as he put his hand out for me to shake. With a shaky hand I reach forward and grasp his hand.
A force told me to look up and our eyes locked and at the same time, we say one phrase, "MY MATE!!!"
