Chosen

Chapter Seventeen

Everything was a bit fuzzy, as if I was looking at it from a long distance. I was vaguely aware of being lifted from the car by Blake. Cat was screaming and I could hear my mom sobbing. I suppose passing out after having been punched in the chest wasn't a good sign.
"Damn it. Cat. Calm the fuck down. She's still breathing."
Blake grumbled and I tried to open my eyes. They were too heavy, they didn't want to open. I felt like I had no control over my body. Where was Axel? Maybe he didn't know we were back yet. I felt my body hum with something warm and powerful. I was aware of being moved from Blake's arms. My eyes opened momentarily to see that Axel had taken me, but they were too heavy.
"Fuck... Addy, open your eyes again, baby. Keep them open."
I whimpered, trying my best all to no avail. My eyes wouldn't cooperate. Suddenly, I was no longer aware of what was happening in the room I was in. I was transported to the garden. I gasped startled and looked around. The pond caught my eye and I froze. The water called to me again.
"Whats happening?"
I whispered more to myself. I was alone, so I didn't really expect a response.
"You feel drawn to the water, don't you child?"
I whirled around when the voice asked me that. I came face to face with a blonde haired, gold eyed and pale faced woman. She was glowing softly, signifying her power. How I knew that, I had no idea. She had a crown made of shells on her head. The woman was honestly unearthly beautiful.
"Yes.... it-it calls t-to m-me..."
She walked over and grabbed my hand, pulling me to the water. We stopped just at the shoreline. I felt it call me again, I wanted to be in it. I needed to feel it on my skin.
"Adalynn.... there are things about yourself that you don't know. I think it's time. Are you willing to listen?"
"Yes..."
I whispered and the woman waved her hand, creating a sitting area from the water. Amazed, I quietly followed her and sat down. The water cradled my body and I felt so relaxed. I could feel it healing my ribs and even ridding my body of some of its scars. She smiled at me softly and settled into her own chair. I looked at her curiously.
"My name is Luna. I am the Goddess that appointed the first king of your species. You my child are the next chosen true royal. You're soul actually has been reborn. Your soul belongs to the moon, tiny Goddess."
I looked at her confused and she smiled at me, grabbing my hand. I noticed I was glowing as well and gasped.
"Why don't I have a wolf?"
"Ah... that is just a variation of this life. But, I think it's because your soul is close to fulfilling its destiny. You were always meant to be the queen and find Axel."
I sighed and bit my lip. Axel. He was probably worried and very angry right now. I mean I'm pretty sure I'm unconscious to him and they can't rouse me at all.
"Luna? Can I go back? I'm sure Axel is..."
"Yes.. he is. He's down in the dungeon, torturing Alpha Mark. But, you're right. It's time to wake."
She kissed my forehead and I felt myself being thrown back into my body. I woke with a gasp, jerking upright. Cat screamed for Axel and I tried to get my bearings straight. It felt weird. I felt weird. Cat was looking at me with wide eyes and slowly creeping to the door. I looked at my hands and noticed the glow. This was going to be fun to try to get them to believe. I stared at my hands, wide eyed and momentarily felt confused.
"Cat.... I.... Where's Axel?"
"Blake went to get him. Why are you glowing?"
"Umm.... I am a decendant of Luna. My parents know about this and I have so many questions for them. Is mama okay?"
Cat sat down and grabbed my hand, smiling. She nodded and I relaxed. Now I just needed to see Axel. I bit my lip and my eyes flickered to the door. I was nervous and I needed Axel. Blake walked in suddenly and startled us both.
"What the fuck?! Why are you glowing?!"
"Ummm...."
I looked at him shocked and bit my lip. Axel walked in behind Blake and stared at me shocked. I blushed and reached for him. He sat down and pulled me into his lap. I buried my nose in his chest and inhaled without pain. He nuzzled the top of my head and relaxed.
"You're okay. Little one... when they carried you in... I lost it."
"I'm okay. Axel.... I was.... well... Luna came to see me. She told me that my soul had been born many times before. But that I was a direct decendent of Luna."
"Mhm. That's why you glow. Don't worry, you'll be able to talk with your parents later love. Right now, I just want to lay here."
"Okay."
I whispered and curled into Axel, my eyes feeling heavy. Axel purred quietly and I relaxed further. My eyes drifted closed and I passed out.
