A Call to Destany

1775 Words
(Freyas pov)     I crossed my legs and sat infront of the woman her purple eyes watching me intently. Something behind those hard purple eyes demanded respect but at the same time they seamed caring and trust worthy. Her pail face was smooth and free of any markings but there was one small line around the right side of her lips as if a life time of smirking at people had left there mark. She seemed so familiar and yet I couldnt place where I had seen her before. -This could be my brain on that one chemical the bodie releaces when its dying- I thought to my self. That would be how i would know and yet not know this woman.     "Are you done with the inner monolog Freya?" She snapped and i blushed taken aback. "I dont have all day to spend here and you dont have much time to listen to me." I nod and quiet my mind ready to listen.     "You have already been marked by one of your mates, and the new mark you bare from this other wolf is slowly poisoning you you need to kill him in order to remove the effects of his bite. However this is time sensitive in order for you to beable to function you know what your going to have to do." An omonus sighlence hung in the air between us. She was talking about the injection of wolfsbane that the nurse had given me.     "Wont that kill storm?" I whisper running my fingers threw her fur listening to the soft whine that she let out, as I look in to the watchful purple eyes of my guest.     "If you have to take them for too long it will kill her yes. So gather the other alphas and ask for help Im sure they will rally to your cause." I watch as her eyes darken to a deep royal purple and a soft smile slips acrost her lips. "I have to leave you and you need to return to them but heed my words you have only a small amout of time." With that she faded away like fog in the early morning sunlight. I looked down at storm and run my fingers threw her fur slowly. She had been my closest friend and protector my whole life I cant imagine continuing on with out her, but could I really put my self, her and the boys threw the agony of wolfsbane injections till we caught mackie? I feel my self slipping deep in to thought as my fingers run threw sorms silky fur as I replay the words the moon godess had told me about my time limit, storm lets out a soft whine making me look down at her. Her once pur white fur has a slight green tint to it.     "Its already starting hu?" I ask her my voice soft as I touch her neck. Small had fulls of her fur fell off and scattered on the ground as I dropped them. "I dont really have a choice then ladie I'll do what eer I have to to protect you like you have for me. Just promise me that you will make it threw." I softly whisper my plea to stor and she lets out a soft whinning sigh as if to reasure me she will fight with all her might. Giving her on last pat to her head i stood up and tryed to focus on waking up. The world around me burred and fadded away slowly giving way to and empty blackness, here i could feet the agony of mackies bite and i wanted to run from it with everything in my being but I had promised storm I would endure anything for her. I took a deep breath and imagined myself taking a step tward the pain. With every stepp it hurt more and with every step my resolve grew, in the back of my mind i remembered the book Axel had me read and i remembered that there was a profacy about the next white wolf uniting all the wolf clans. This is my destany this will give us a common enomy, some one who disregards the sacred status of the mate bond could not be allowed to live, the thought of finally knowing my place in this world gave me enough strength to fight threw the darkness and to open my eyes. The soft beaping of the heart monitor kept me company in the darkend hospital room on the reclining chain next to me lay both Axel and Alexander asleep cuddling one another, I smilled breifly and sat up panting heavily as I fought to keep my wits about me the pain in my neck making me want to scream. I stood and threw my feet over the side of the bed fighting off a small scream as the cold tile came in to contact with the skinf of my feet.      'I must be running a high feaver for the cold to hurt that much' I think to myself as I slowly stumble over to the door of the room trying to make as little sound as possible. Glancing back at the two boys I pull the door open and stumble out in to the hall. The smell of disinfectant and bleach over whelmed my nose making me want to gag but I pressed on, the edges of my vision starting to become blurry as the pain tries to over take me. I reach what looks like a nurses station near the middle of the hall colapsing on to it as my body dripps sweat on to the floor.     "Luna you should not be out of bed." The young woman sitting behind the counter squeaks as she rushes over to me throwing my arm over her neck so she can help me to a chair quickly.     "Luna your burning up Let me get...." I raise my hand sighlencing the poor girl before she could finish her sentence.      "The woman from before the older doctor I need you to get her here now."I groan as i slump in my chair nearly passing out, i can feel my stomach roll and if there had been anything substancial in it i would have thrown up, this pain was more than i could bear and all i wanted was for it to stop.     "Right away luna." the small girl squeaked befor picking up the phone and making a quick phone call. A couple of quick nods and a few mmhms was all it took before i heard the door at the opposite end of the hall from my room burst open, the older woman came flying down the tiled hallway strings of her hair flying about frantically as she rushed to my side, No warning given she jabbs me in the neck with the largest needle I have ever seen and pumps more wolfsbane in to my system. She reaches down and grabbs my wrist lifting her own to the shinny gold wath that sits there.     "Good your heart rate has already slowed down." she mumbles to her self befor falling in to a chair opposit me and letting out a loud yawn.     "My appologies mam." I wisper softly as i cast my eyes down. "It must be late for you I'm very sorry I had to wake you." the woman accrost from me gave a small chuckle that grew in to a full blown belly busting laugh that had tears streaming from the womans eyes.     "My name is carmen Luna and you dont need to be formal sor sorry for anything." the woman, Carmen stated as she wipped the tears from her eyes. "You are my luna comand me to do a thing and i will do it but thank you for wanting to be polite." I smilled sheepishly at her feeling my cheeks turning pink. I look up in to her eyes and I watch as they become hard and loos some of the joy that they had a moment ago.      "Carmen how did you know about the wolfsbane? I-i mean earlier when you first gave it to me." I softly whispered out. I watched as carmens eyes darkened and she smiled sadly.     "My first mate had the same thing happen to him luna. There was a jellous she wolf from the pack that marked him and then left, i worked tierlessly to try to find her but i was un able to. After a month i stopped trying to find her and focused on trying to heal my mate we tried all sorts of remadies to cure the pain he had but the only thing that helped him was the wolfsbane." I nod sighlently as she tells me her story and i grip her hands softly at moments reasuring her the best that I can. "Eventually his wolf died from the treatment and he soon fallowed even with the death of his wolf the pain never did leave him" she whispered out sadly. Carmen and I talked for a little while longer about the treatment and the risks that it had but the thing that hung heavy between the two of us was Axel and Alexander. Wolves in general dont take to kindly to their mates being harmed by anyone and high ranking wolves tend to be even more agressive with how they protect what they see as theirs. As we sat there looking at one another I hear a loud crashing noise comming from the end of the hall that my room was at.     "Where is she at." I heard the boys yell simultaniously as two sets of feet start raced down the hall.     "Speak of the alfa and he will come." I whisper horsly pushing myself up on to shaking legs waiting for them to show. Axel and Alexander were standing on the other side of the counter top a soft rumbling growle coming from both of them.     "Freya step away from her now!" Axel orders me his voice low and intimidating, I knew it wasnt for me but for carmen who was cowering in fear behind me. I stepped so that my frame blocked carmens from the boys view and let out a weak growle of my own.     "No Axel!" I said fermly i would not let this man intimidate the woman for helping me and he had no right to even attempt to order me around. "We need to talk." those four words hung in the air thick and heavy like some sort of poison cloud cutting off the boys ability to speak.
