Lily was having a hard time wrapping her head around what she just heard this Goddess say to her. "Im...your...DAUGHTER?! What?! How is that possible? I was born there not here. How?" she kept trying to form the words trying to figure out if this was true. Selene looked at her daughter processing the information she was given. "Yes you are my daughter. The how is a little complicated. Please sit down we only have so much time," the Goddess said taking her seat.
Lily sat down regarding the woman in front of her wondering what happened to make her give her up. "Many years ago when the gods decided to create the Alpha Pairs we knew the strongest Pair would be special. It was decided that the female of the Pair would be able to take more then one mate to ensure that strength and harmony of the creature world would be maintained thought the bloodlines. We thought by letting the female carry the next generation of Alpha Pairs that the Males would maintain peace between the Clans. Males have a need to keep their female happy and safe so petty feelings were dismissed."
Lily sat their a shocked look on her face wondering if this was all a dream. "You have got to be kidding me? Whats all this have to do with me?" she asked still confused. Selene leaned back look her daughter in the eyes saying, "Who do you think the female was for the Pairing?" Lily started putting the pieces together not wanting to see what she was saying. "Yes, my dear, It was me. At first I didn't want to think of touching anyone other then my wolf mate, but when opposites attract and chemistry flies its hard to deny what your body and soul are telling you to do. 35 years ago the gods were aware of the new cycle of Alpha Pairs was fast approaching and we needed to send a god to the Physical Realm to reset the cycle. So my wolf mate and I got pregnant knowing a full blooded wolf god would be able to show compassion and leadership no matter the creature. She would also have to heart to accept those others found different or out of place in society."
What the Goddess was saying wasn't to far from the truth. While she did accept people as they were not what others said about them, she also tried to give the benefit of the doubt with just about everyone she met. "So how did I get to the pack I was with before finding the other Alpha bloodline of werewolves? Did you now them?" Lily asked curious to see if her hunch might be right. "The couple I left you with after giving birth were my last descendants from the previous Alpha Wolf Pair. We had spoke on a couple different occasions, but when I came to her with you in my arms she already knew why I was there. Premonitions are a strong gift among the wolf bloodline. There will be other gifts now that you are awakening," the Goddess said sipping her tea watching Lily's reaction.
"So wait? Your telling me I'm the female of the new cycle of Alpha Pairs? Why me though? Couldn't you have had more then one child who could have filled this role? My life has been hell up until a few years back. So why now? Because I mated Max?" Lily asked a bit annoyed she was being used by higher level beings. Her mother shook her head trying not to laugh at her daughters words.
"My dear, we made you specifically for the reason. I know it hasn't been easy, but know you can put through real change that can help more then just one Clan. By being mated to each male from each Clan it puts everyone in check reminding them that it is possible to corporate with each other. Can you honestly tell me in the last 1000 years there hasn't been some major war? A famine that could have been prevented had a Clan had better resources? If connections could have been more secure between Clans the people in between wouldn't have suffered so much. That is the purpose of starting the cycle fresh. Peace, prosperity, and collaboration between Clans without war. Isn't that something worth fighting for?" The goddess asked reaching for her hand on the table.
Lily thought about her words as she debated whether she was actually going to accept this or not. Preventing death by having children to influence the masses was a bit of a stretch, but with who's child they were people might actually listen. Lily couldn't make all that change on her own even Grama said she would need help changing the world. "So what do I need to do?"
The Goddess smiled at her standing up moving closer to Lily. Standing up herself Lily walked with the Goddess to the railing looking out over the beautiful scenery. "The most important thing you need to do is trust your heart and let it guide you. The rest will follow," she said holding Lily's hands. Wondering how that was going to do anything Lily felt herself being pulled away back the way she came. "Mother wait!" lily shouted not wanting to leave yet.
Letting go of her daughters hands she gave Lily some parting words, "Don't fight your heart."

Lily felt herself being pulled back to her body her limbs gaining feeling a little bit at a time. She felt someone holding her hand and knew it was the person she needed to speak with. Opening her eyes she saw Dimitri holding her hand leaning over the bed asleep. Brushing his hair away from his eyes he began to stir awake. His gorgeous blue eyes flutter open as he see her awake. "Lily! Are you okay?" he moves up closer to her checking her over.
Listening to her mother she follows the feeling in her heart as she reaches up grabbing Dimitri by the collar pulling him down to kiss her lips.
