Moon Marked by the Goddess

Sixteen

A few hours ago I assured Vincent I was alright, and that he should go back to sleep. I've been unable to get this dream out of my mind. I pull my phone out to the check the time. 4:10am, I want to talk to Senna, but I'm positive she'll kill me if I wake her up at this hour.

* Senna, are you up. I need to talk to you.

* I don't hear alarms, so why the h*ll are you bothering me?

* It's probably nothing, but I had a dream, and someone named Luca, told me he was coming for me. He said the Moon Goddess cursed him, but he called her Morrighan, I think. It felt so real.

* I'll be at your apartment in 10 minutes.

The mind link is cut, I'm met by a block each time I try to get through to tell her I'm with Vincent. I guess it has to be serious if she's going to meet me now, she is not a morning person. I probably need to let Vincent I'm leaving, so he isn't confused when he wakes up alone.

I turn to my mate, and gently shake him, saying his name. He opens an eye and looks at me with a smile. "Good morning love, you okay?"

"I just wanted to let you know I need to go meet Senna. I linked her a few moments ago and told her about my dream. She said she'll be here soon. Though I didn't get a chance to tell her I was with you. So I need to go upstairs and meet her there." I lean down and kiss his cheek. "I'll see you tonight, alright?"

"Let me take a quick shower and I'll meet you both upstairs. Senna hates mornings, this has to be important if she's coming to meet you." He climbs out of bed, and starts toward the bathroom. "We could save water if we shower together." He shoots a wink over his shoulder. I follow him to the bathroom, against my better judgement. I'm sure we can be quick.

We walked into my apartment 20 minutes later, Senna still hasn't arrived. Sitting on the couch we've been talking quietly for a few minutes, when there's a knock on the door. I get up and open it. Senna looks disheveled. She's still in pajamas, but has on boots, and is carrying a duffle bag.

"Come in." I close the door after she walks in.

"Rylan pack a bag, we need to go. I've already asked your Alpha to come over, and I'll get your parents. We don't have much time."

"Wait a minute, go where?" Vincent stands up looking between Senna and myself. "You can't take her away from me."

"Calm down I'm not explaining this multiple times. So you can wait for the others."

What in the world is she talking about. I can't leave my pack, or my mate. I walk toward my parents bedroom, knocking on the door, then I poke my head in and tell them Senna is here and are needed for the discussion. A few moments later they both enter the livingroom, in their pajamas.The front door opens again, and the Alpha is walking in, he is dressed casually in sweatpants, and a tshirt.

"Senna what's going on, why have you called me over here?" My uncle says sounding very gruff.

"Rylan is in danger, Lykaon is coming. Though I believe he used the name Luca when he visited her in her dreams." She's cut off by my father.

"Who in the h*ll is that? Why would he be coming for Rylan?" A vein in his forehead is throbbing as he speaks.

"I don't have time for your emotional outburst. Lykaon leads the dark wolves, and has since their conception. He was the first wolf to turn against the teachings of the Moon Goddess, tempted by the power of demons. Rylan is has not been trained well enough to go against him yet, she needs the other Goddess marked wolves."

What does any of that have to do with me, why in Olisis would he need me? "Why does he want me?" My voice is barely a whisper.

"He believes that if he can mate with you and you produce his heirs, that they will be strong enough to kill the Moon Goddess. There is an old prophecy, that says something along those lines, we'd have to talk to Rupert. He was more into prophecy than I ever was."

Looking around the room every has solemn looks on their faces. "I will not leave, the pack is my protection, and I am theirs. The Moon Goddess told me to depend on them."

"I doubt he knows where you are now, but something allowed him to find your subconscious on the astral plane, so it's just a matter of time. Then what? You are alone, you don't have the other three wolves. You can not do it alone, and your pack will die because of it. You need to go, and stay on the move. How do you think I'm still alive?!" She's visibly shaking as she ends her rant.

* Moon Goddess I need your assistance, please. I need to know what you want me to do.

No response.

* Morrighan, I need you, please.

"Child how do you that name?" She's sitting on the couch right in front of me. The anger on her face does not diminish her beauty at all.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used it, I needed you to hear me." I kneel before her baring my neck in full submission. "Please, a man came to me in my dreams. He called himself Luca. Senna knows him Lykaon. She wants me to flee, and hide. Is that what's best for the pack?"

She pales looking directly at Senna. "She must stay here, I will hide her location for as long as I can. Bring Rupert back. You will have two more wolves to train before the end of the week." She scans the room, eyes landing on Vincent whom is standing beside me. "Starting with you my dear." She stands, and gracefully walks over him, she caresses the side of his face and his wolf over takes him, a sandy brown color. A crescent moon now over his right eye.

"Rylan, I chose you for a reason, just as I've chosen your mate. He will keep you safe, and you will keep the rest of Olisis safe. I will be giving you gift soon." With that she was gone.
