Alpha Queen (Completed)

Chapter 30: Wake Up

Erica
My eyes fluttered open and I was in the white room again. I didn't know why or how I kept coming here. The last thing I remember is turning around and seeing Dion.

"Hello?" I yelled out. "Anyone here?"

"Erica." A melodic voice whispered. I turned right to face the source. It was the woman with the long black hair that touched the floor and a simple white gown that I saw in my dream. It was the woman whose face I could not see because there was an illuminating light focusing on it, on her. If you stared at her too long, you could be blinded.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself before." She continued. "I am the Moon Goddess but you can call me Zelena which means..."

"Goddess of the moon." I continued for her. She smiled in appreciation. "I took a Greek Origin class before I stopped attending the University." I explained to her.

"You will make an amazing Queen with your brilliance."

"Thank you, Goddess. I mean Miss Zelena. I mean..." She laughed at my hesitation and I never heard a sound more beautiful. "Where am I?"

"You are where you want to be, need to be and have to be. I left this place blank for your own imaginations Erica. Think of where do you want to be."

I stared at her slightly confused but she nodded her head.

I closed my eyes and imagined all of my family members and Alerick sitting around a dinner table just enjoying dinner. I wanted to be with them laughing.
I opened my eyes and I was there. Around the table. There was my mom and dad at the head of the table and my brother and our Beta, Allen Clark, across from me.  I looked to my left and it was my best friend, Ryan. He smiled and winked at me then turned back to his dinner. To my right was Alerick. He looked at me concerned.
"Are you okay Erica?"

"Yea. Yea I am. Everything is perfect." I closed my eyes in bliss and when I re-open them I was back in the completely white room with the Moon Goddess.

"Woah. That was amazing." I stated.

"Very good Erica. Now where do you need to be?"

I closed my eyes again and began to think about what I needed to do for myself more than anything in the world. I need to find a career I could be proud of. Something that could possibly help change the world.

I opened my eyes and was faced to white board and heard a ringing in my ear. A school bell. I felt a light weight on my nose and touched my face. Glasses. I haven't worn glasses since I was fifteen.

Words began exiting my mouth that I had no control over.
"Ok class." My hand reached for a marker without my mind telling it to do so. "My name is Mrs. Rogers." I smiled at the thought as my hand wrote my name on the board. I turned around to face the class of children. They looked like they belonged in at least first grade.

My mouth opened again and I raised my eyebrows in suspicion as to what I  will say next.
"Today's class I just want to get to know you so you guys can put away your pencils for today."
The class cheered a little and I joined in on the clapping. The marker that was in my hand fell and when I bent to pick it up, my glasses fell off my face.

This is why I wore contacts now.

I tried to look at my students but everything was blurry I closed my eyes to stop myself from getting a headache.

"Here you go Miss Rogers." I heard a small voice say. I held out my hand and felt a small hand place my glasses into mine.

"Thank you." I said as I placed the glasses on my face and opened my eyes. I was back in the white room. The Moon Goddess was there smiling.

"I'm a teacher?" I asked.

"Are you pleased?"

"Pleased? I'm ecstatic, amazed and just so happy."

"You will be shaping the minds of the future. Children are very influential at that age." Zelena stated.

"Speaking of minds, why couldn't I control my own just now? Was that you?"

"My child, the only one that can control you is you. That was your future self speaking to her students."

"So that really is my future huh? I hope I'm smart enough to wear contacts."

Instead of responding to me, she asked a question of her own. "Where do you have to be?"

I closed my eyes and thinked. Did I have to be home right now? Did I have to be running the Kingdom? I open my eyes hoping to find the answers but I was still in the room with Zelena.
"Where do I have to be right now?"

"Not everything is about you Erica." she said teasingly.

"What do you mean?"

"Who wants you more than anything? Who needs you right now?"

"Alerick." I whispered and close my eyes. When I re-opened them, I was in Alpha Sancus' living room.

Alerick was there with his guards and he was having a deep conversation that I couldn't hear. All I saw was his mouth moving.

"Alerick!" I called out but he did not respond.

"He cannot hear you." She said.  I look to my right and saw it for the first time, the Moon Goddess was with me.

"Why not?"

"Because this is happening now and you are not there." The four guards left the room with determination on their face. As soon as they left,  Alerick flipped a table out of anger then sat on the couch with his hands in his face. I closed my eyes not wanting to see any more.

As I hoped, I opened my eyes to see we have indeed returned to the white room. I imagined the exact couch Alerick was sitting on in mind and it appeared in the room. I paced in front of it a couple times before I sat down. The Goddess just stood there silent.

"Why can't I remember anything? Why am I not with Alerick?"

"You have Aconite in your blood stream." Zelena answered.

"What is that?"

"Wolf's bane. It's a poisonous flower that can hurt both your wolf and human body. Sometimes it can be deadly."

"Well I'm obviously not dead. Right?" She nodded her head in response. "What did it do to me?"

"It paralyzed you and your senses because it was injected directly into your blood."

"By Dion." I didn't even need to ask. I know it was that bastard. "What do I need to do?"

"Wake up." Zelena said.

"That can't just be it." I said shaking my head. "What else?"

"No matter what, there will be blood shed. A war is coming but protect your kingdom my Queen."

"I'm confused. I'm your Queen?" I asked Zelena.

"You are the Alpha."

I paused to look at her. Never in my life would I have imagined the Moon Goddess calling the Alpha.

"Always remember, you are more powerful that you think."

I stood up from the couch to realize I could finally see her face. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Her pale skin tone  complimented her long black hair. Her eyes were a dark blue like the night sky and her lips as red as a rose.

"You know what you want, need and have to do. Go accomplish them my child." Zelena continued.

With that, I woke up with a gasp as if I was just resurfacing from water. I let out a scream that turned into a howl.
