Chereads / Werewolf's Mate / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Bitten | Meeting The Moon Goddess

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Bitten | Meeting The Moon Goddess

Based upon what has happened with Sadie, Rachael and I yesterday. I decided to stay in my room. Trying to piece together everything I've learned during my time around Ashton and this place. All this unknown animalistic growls. The primitive ways they've shown, all the words they've said.

The way their expressions change, let alone the pace they have isn't human. Considering how unbearably close Ashton was when he chased me through the woods. I wanted to think maybe it was because he was so athletic, but I know no human runs and moves like that.

I don't understand anything about this. I begin to think harder, as I take in my thoughts slower. I rerun the details, and I remember the elongated K9 teeth. The small glimpse I saw as Rachael's features were expressing different emotions with Sadie as if they had a conversation.

How could they understand that way? I couldn't understand any of it. The only thing I could come up with the primitive teeth I've seen was either a vampire or a werewolf...

No, no. Rachael must've had natural teeth like that or possibly paid her dentists well. I shake my throbbing head as I became overwhelmed by my thoughts. I needed the some fresh air, so when I stepped out of my room as my gaze was focused on the floor then the door knob as I closed it.

I turned away from the door and I came face to face. It taken me a moment to register who it was until I've noticed it was Ashton. Our noses brushed passed each other as he was in close contact with me.

He stood there gazing into my eyes. He seemed dazed as I, but I took a side step to create a gap. "Uhm... I'm going for a walk. I need to clear my head. I won't be needing any chaperone for I don't have anywhere to go." I stated. He hesitated for a moment then nodded.

He cleared his throat for a moment. Scratch the back of his head as if he acted nervous. He gazed into my eyes one last time then went for his room as a small smile of his dismissed me.

I walked out the exit and into the cold crisp night air. I let the nightly nature overtake my senses as I let my feet wander over the path. After a few good minutes as my senses returned I realized I must've gone far. The large full moon helped me guide my way on the path, but I felt as if I was lost.

I stayed calm, then recollected my thoughts as I scan my surroundings trying to pick up on any familiar details. With no luck, I was lost. All I could do was walk down the trail and hope to find the mansion or wait here until somebody found me.

While I took my time debating on my chances, I felt large hands envelope around my waist. A loud scream came from me and I looked down at what felt to be hands, but large furry hands with elongated claws. Horror struck my features, I dare to look behind and came face to face with a large and brown furred wolf.

She licked my face then bit down in the crook of my neck drawing blood. I screamed in agony my body became limp by the sudden overwhelming sense of shock. She pulled back as some my flesh was evident in her mouth, then licked my wound she inflicted. I pulled away from her and turned to gaze at her, my expression evident of striking fear.

She was a two legged wolf. No less a fact of a lycan or a werewolf. Maybe they're both the same, either way I didn't care. The fucker bit me and it hurt like a bitch. On instinct I wanted to put my hand over it, but I knew better not to touch it for it may hurt. Instead, I held my arm to my chest hoping to cease the pain in my neck.

I glared at the lycan and I ran the hell out of their as my life depended on it. My legs ached along with the pain in my neck and my body needed rest immediately. The wolf growled and snarled at me as it chased me.

Hoping my legs would run any faster, they didn't. I kept pumping legs with each stride. The need to get away from it was clawing at me. My breath becoming pantless I ran up the steps onto the front porch. My form knocking into the front glass door of the mansion.

I wasn't sure how I got there, but I was glad I did. I slid on the glass door as darkness began to cloud my vision. I fell into the door way as the the door was pulled open. "Oh shit! Natalia, what the fuck?! I knew I should've gone or had someone with you! Dammit!" I heard Ashton's tone evident of anger and worry.

He picked me up from the ground and placed me on the couch. He held me there for a few seconds then studied my wound. I tried to fight back the darkness.

He kissed my forehead, then his eyes glazed over the same way how Sadie's and Rachael's has. Why do they do that and how do they do that? I wanted to ask, but the excruciating pain was spreading like fire all over my body so all I could do was to succumb to the darkness as it overtaken me into a deep slumber.

All of a sudden i was surrounded by a bright white atmosphere. Everywhere around me was white, nothing of objects were in places. Just a white atmospheric surrounding me. I blinked a couple of times trying to make sure what I was seeing isn't an allusion.

Suddenly, I heard such an angelic beautiful female voice. A sense of calm and comfort succumbed me. I followed it, and slowly I could see a feminine form reveal itself through the thick bright whiteness. The closer I've gotten the more details I could make out.

I was 4 feet away from her. A tall feminine goddess stood before emanating a strong aura of power, love, etc. Her facial features were absolutely striking. Her form of an hour glass. She wore a a long purple robe with silver markings covering it.

Silver crescents marked into her robe. I could see her eyes a violet purple hue. Her hair as chocolate brown. Between her eyes atop her forhead she wore a silvery full moon that looked to be painted. I am 100 percent a straight female, but if I was gay. This woman would've swooned me again and again.

A warm smile form on her face and she beckoned me to come closer. I done so, hesitatantly taking small strides. She extended her arms out in front of me, welcoming me to a hug. I hugged her and she enveloped me within her embrace.

Suddenly, a warm bright light took over me and she pulled away as I was slowly floating above her a little. The bright lights held a purple hue as they've shown their ways out of me. I was back on the ground, wearing a silvery robe like she was. Though her silver markings on her robe were the same as mine on my robe, but they were purple. We had similar robes, but the colors were in different places.

"My dearest Natalia. My long lost daughter of the moon. You're my silver as I am your light. You're bitten by that of a Lycanthrope for you are now gifted with such I've bestowed upon you." She said, "your mother Serena, has passed protecting you by both forces of different evils. This power I've gifted, is yours to only use for good. In due time you will be the lycan female I've hoped Serena, your mother, my sister has guided you to be. You mustn't let them for you are the next goddess to take your mothers place."

All this information has given me clues to whom she was, an aunt, a sister of my mother, and lastly a goddess who I was related to. I wondered as to why she felt familiar. All of a sudden a memory of my past childhood took over my vision. I remember when I was 6 I always saw my mother going into a door that held a crescent silver moon.

She always told me i wasn't allowed to go in there, but when she wasn't looking my curiosity gotten the best of me. I went through that door and the moment I turned around from closing it. The scene before me was absolutely alien.

Everything in that room looked to be of witch craft. Nothing evil or whatever, but it had something only a Grande White Witch would have. I took a moment and walked around the room and closely explored the details, but before I could explore any further I heard the door open behind me.

"Natalia! What did I say about you going in here?" Her tone wasn't exactly mad, but more disappointed for my disobedience. She walked over to me and picked me up. The flashback ended and I looked over at the woman before me who was supposedly my aunt.

"If I may ask, your grace. What's your name?" I wondered. Her expression was soft and welcomed. Inviting even. She took my hands in hers.

"I am your aunt, my name Natalia. Is the name you've always known. What all Lycans and werewolves alike call me." She answered and realization dawned on me.

"You're the moon goddess... Your Luna. The Moon Goddess!" I pulled my arms away, and i got down on my knees immediately to show my sign of respect. She laughed and motioned for me to stand.

"As royal Godesses my dear niece. We don't have to do such formalities as we are family." Her tone ever so sweet, so angelic. Each time she spoke sounded like a song.

She kissed my forehead softly then with soft eyes she gazed into mine. "I've been watching over you, Natalia. The things I've seen you been through. Let alone Dixon isn't a problem for you no longer nor' is your schooling." She said. A sense of relief took over me.

"Now, you must go back to your mate and your pack. For you are the queen and luna, yet mated to the most powerful werewolf in the U.S. Nation." She spoke. I wanted ask her so many questions, but the light around me became dark and I was enveloped in it.

Back to my sleepless self...
