The Goddess Alpha

Chapter Three: Meeting her

Rheya POV

“My dear its time to talk…” I heard an unrecognizable voice say.

With my eyes still closed I sniffed trying to figure out this person, but it was no use, they had no scent.

“Wake up my child…” the voice cooed again while simultaneously stroking my hair.

My eyes shot open and only then did I realize I wasn’t in my room…I wasn’t anywhere to be exact. I was lying down on the ground in an all-white room. The unknown women before me gave me a smile, but I kept my guard up. She stood up and offered me a hand to help me up, I refused and got up slowly on my own.

“Who are you?” I tried using whatever Alpha tone I could muster up.

I eyed her up and down again, really taking in her looks now. She had dark brown hair with streaks of light blue and gold scattered through it with a crescent shaped crown atop it. She was slender and pale, but I could feel a strong power emanating from her. Her dress looked like it came out of a Childs' fairy tale book, long and dark blue with black wisps of fabric essentially floating around her. What freaked me out even more was her eyes, entirely white. I knew she could still see me judging by how she following my every movement.

She smirked and tilted her head to the side. “My dear, do you always speak the first mother that way?” Only then did I realize who she was, holy mood goddess, it’s the Moon Goddess! I quickly dropped to my knee and bowed to her, hoping she would forgive my disrespect. She sucked her teeth at me and pulled me back to my feet.

“Do not worry my child. I know this must be confusing, you are still asleep in your bed.," She said as she waved her hand and a small cloud appeared with an image in it. I leaned forward and it showed me, well my body, asleep peacefully in my own bed. 

She continued, "I just wanted to come has a chat with you before you shifted tonight. Would that be okay?”

She’s asking me permission to speak with her? Again, I’m searching for words I cannot find so I just nod, star struck.

“I want you to know how truly special you are. You will do amazing things for our kind; I truly believe in yours and your wolfs powers to save us. Like your ancestors, you will bear my mark," She said as she pointed to the crescent crown above her head. She then placed her hand on the right side of my chest, just above my heart, and pressed. A light blue hue shined out and when she removed her hand, I had the same mark my mother has. It is a scarlet colored crescent moon.

 "In addition to that, I would also like for you to bear my image.” She said as I was still ogling my new "tattoo".

“Thank you, Moon Goddess, I’m so honored.” I go to kneel again, but she stops me.

“Would you like to meet your wolf now?” She questions. I nod but ask in response “Won’t I have to wait until I shift?”

“No, my dear. I wanted you two to meet first before I gave her to you. I want you to be okay with carrying my image.” She then turned me around and I see the most beautiful sight before me.

An all-white wolf, there hasn’t been one since Tabitha (my great-great grandmother) was alive, and she led the Scarlet Moon Pack through a remarkable battle and won. My wolf also had a scarlet crescent mark, but it was on her head between her ears. She even shares my different colored eyes which stand out against her fur. “She’s beautiful Moon Goddess…I don’t know what to say. What is her name?”

“I call her Sotiras. It is Greek for Savior, it is what she was last time and exactly what you two shall be this time.” I reached out and touched her head. Then a bright light shined, and she was gone.

“What happened?! Where is she?” I panicked looking around. The Moon Goddess grabbed my shoulders and instantly I felt relaxed. “She is up here now.” She stated while point to my forehead.

“I must say goodbye now. I’ve taken up so much of your time. My apologies.” She started to walk away.

I tried to follower her, but I was rooted in my spot, so I called after her. “TIME?! I’ve only been here but 10 minutes!” She turned around and smiled, “Or so you think.” She waved her hand she was gone, suddenly I felt like I was sucked through a vortex.

I shot up in my bed panting hard and sweat gathered on my face. Natalie was banging on my door, but I couldn’t answer anything. I was too lost in thought. The door went quiet after a minute, and once again I heard the click of my door unlocking.

This time however is my mom all by herself with a big grin on her face, “She came to see you huh?” She asked while point to my chest.

I looked at the mark and jumped up happily!

“So, it wasn’t just a dream!”
