A fight breaks out between the myself and my mom. Growls echo around us as we claw and snap at each other's necks and back.

The rogues around us leap into the air trying to tackle me to the ground to give my mom the upper hand but I somehow manage to keep out of their way.

I'm pinned to the ground with my mother standing over me teeth buried and snarling as she stood over me.

Shifting into my human form I lay on the wet ground staring at her sharp teeth as she snaps at my face.

A flash of light brighter the lighter stuns us all and my mom jumps back releasing me as she does so.

The moon goddess stand in the middle of the clearing with another women, both radiating power and grace as they gaze around the field.

"It's been centuries since the last time we had to intervene in the caos between the night creatures" says the other women in a soft velvety voice. "It's been centuries since we've seen such a disgraceful display of violence and brutality against one's own kind"

"Beta Lucian Young of the Night moon pack" the moon goddess says calling Luca forward "Please escort the remaining members of your pack back to the pack house"

With out hesitation Luca gathers the remaining members and they disappear into the woods. After a few moments a blanket of dense smoke lines the edge of the clearing, shielding it.

"Viviana Lewis, Minerva Lewis please come forward" the other goddess I'm assuming it the goddess of light says.

Both my mom and Viviana who I'm now understanding is my sister, step forward.

"For crimes against your own son and kind you Minerva are to be stripped of your wolf and memory whipped, you will remain human until your final breath" in and instant my mom is gone as if vanishing into thin air.

Viviana drops to her knees before the goddess's and begs for mercy and forgiveness, asking to please be punished in any way other then banishment or having her wolf stripped.

In all honesty I feel sorry for her and the way my mother manipulated her mind, but I don't feel sorry enough to save her.

"Viviana you are to remain mate less for the remainder of you life, you will be sent to another pack and your mind will be whipped of all memory" she too dissolved into this air leaving only myself the goddess's and the rogues standing in the field.

With a snap the rogues disappear and I'm left alone in the field with the goddess's.

"Harper my dear child you have come so far and proven to be a grate leader in the face of danger" the light goddess says.

"We have given your mate the opportunity to change his fate" the goddess says with a sad soft tone causing fear to course through my veins "What did her choose" I ask fearing their answer.

The smoke around the forests edge crowds around me, engulfing me in its haze and I find myself covered in darkness.

~~~~~Four months later~~~~

With a grown I hit the alarm on my bedside table and stretched under the covers.

You no how people say life flashes in a blink of and eye, well it's true it's like I was sitting in class one day listening to the arts professor take about the difference between paint sample from the Mona Lisa and and the a painting of Henry the eighth and then bam it's the end of the semester and I miraculously past.

Kicking the covers off of me I quickly grab a change of clothes and take a fast shower before heading out the door.

The soft ding of the bell announces my entry as I smile at a few classmates.

"Welcome in what can I get started for you" the new girl asks as I reach the register.

I'm about to answer when a strong voice comes from behind me sending an electric wave of sparks over my skin "A medium lavender mint tea with honey" slowly I turn around to see a gorgeous man standing behind me.

His gaze is so I tense and I feel myself fighting some unknown force deep inside me that tells me to jump into his arms.

Instead I tilt my head to the side and ask "Do I know you" I have a feeling I do by the way the butterflies in my stomach are fluttering around my insides.

He doesn't answer with words, no instead he reaches forward pulling me into his chest and kisses me hard and passionately. At first I try to push him away but then it's like the ground beneath my feet shifts and I'm floating through the air.

Flashes of light snap around me and an explosion of emotions washes over me. Slowly he loosens his grip around my waist and I'm left standing there stunned and confused, watching as he leaves me standing there as he walks away and out of the coffee shop door.

Instantly I'm running out of the shop and down the street following a delicious smell of spice and freshly cut grass. Quinn pushes me faster as we follow the scent of our mate.

"NIXON" I yell seeing him in the distance. He stops and turns around.

I run towards him feeling like I can breath for the first time in forever and it all comes crashing back.

He catches me as I crash into him capturing his lips with mine as I kiss him with every emotion I'd been missing for the last four months.

The memory of the goddess's words and choice that had given Nixon flood my mind and my heart beat picks up only to settle again when I rest my forehead on his.

"You chose me" I breath over his lips as I stare into his stunning blue eyes.

"I will always choose you Harper"

The End.
