Heir to the Moon (GxG)

Capitulum 10

As the weeks went by, I trained hard. My body started to change, filling out in the places that once showed bones. My silver-grey hair started to shine again, becoming thick and lively. I didn't recognize the seemingly healthy person staring back at me in the mirror most mornings. I had improved a lot, earning respect from most of the warrior wolves. Every morning I helped out in the kitchen and straight after the training I went to the classroom.

Although the past few weeks I hadn't gotten much sleep. I woke up every single hour and the times I did sleep I was brutally awoken by a nightmare, or visions. All I know is they left me with questions. Adding to that was the brutal kick to the stomach that I didn't know shit about who I was or my past. Leto was around but not as feisty like she used to. I guess we both suffered over the fact that Kena couldn't care less about her mate running around in her pack.

I pretended to not see the quick glances and the inhaling of my scent as I walked by. Dani had taken her roll as big sister, refusing to let me sulk in my room.

Nimue was close to finishing her lecture. I returned my attention back to the class, playing with the pen between my lips as I watched the other students leave the room. Nimue eyed me carefully, gathering the books. 'Want to talk about your nightmares?'

I instantly sat up straight, startled with her words aimed at me. 'I am sorry,' I sighed. 'I should've paid attention.'

Nimue laughed quietly, 'Don't worry dear. You seem exhausted.'

'I don't think they're nightmares though. I mean.. kind of. I feel like it's things I've been through or that person has been through.' I eyed her hopeful, hoping she could provide the answers I desperately needed.

'Explain your dream.' She sat down on her desk. I nodded, by now I could memorize the entire dream word by word. I could picture the scenes, I could feel the fear of everyone and the more I relived it the better I could picture the woman who was supposed to be my mother. 'I think it was about my mother, or me as a baby. Being pushed into another woman her arms. The other woman commanding her to run as she begged me for forgiveness for failing me.' I paused.

She nodded her head, showing me she was listening to every word I was saying. 'Then last night, I had another dream. A face of some woman, screaming at me after they captured me. I had to fight to survive and to save some other people. But I didn't know the woman or why she was mad at me. She kept yelling at me about a name,' I frowned. 'I recognized the name Lycaon.'

'I see, that is interesting indeed.' Nimue spoke, 'Lyc-'

A loud yawn escaped me, cutting her off. 'And I can't seem to get a proper night of sleep.' I rested my head on my hands. Nimue chuckled, 'Your dreams are a part of your history, they're telling you something. The sleep depriving, is due to your mate.' She walked over, holding my hand as she squeezed it.

'I promise you're not the only one who is exhausted.'

'I highly doubt it, everyone seems to be doing just fine.' I huffed, looking outside as other wolves started their daily workout. Nimue shook her head, 'No your mate. Kena. Both of your wolves are drawn to each other and they're both stuck with two stubborn women. The more you two fight each other, the more exhausted you'll be. Without you two realizing it, the mate bound is growing stronger with each day.'

I groaned, 'So basically I am being forced closer to my mate but my mate doesn't want me around.'

Nimue her eyes softened. 'She'll learn soon enough, even she can't stay awake for days,' she paused. 'What do you know about Lycaon?'

I shrugged. 'Not much to be honest.'

She smiled. 'In Greek mythology, Lycaon was a king of Arcadia, he tested Zeus' in some way. In return Zeus transformed Lycaon into a wolf. Lycaon had some offspring that Zeus killed off, what Zeus didn't know was that Lycaon had mated with another woman, but he had fallen deeply in love with Deianira. Your mother.'
