Analise's POV

The mansion was beautiful, but it soon disappeared and I was on the plains. However, I was not alone. There was a mother cheetah with two cubs. It looked at me and seemed to smile. I felt connected to them so how and stepped closer. "Mother?" I ask and she nods her head purring gently. I run to her and hugged her tightly "I love you so mush" I tell her.

'And we love you darling' a soothing voice filled my head. 'You've grown to be a fine feline just like we'd hoped' she tells me.

'You look just like your mother, but with darker hair' a males voice enters my mind. I look around and notice a darker male cheetah sneaking towards us. I shift and pounce on him wrestling with him playfully.

'And look just like your father in feline form' mother giggles.

'Are they my brothers?' I ask after father and I stopped playing looking at the cubs.

'Yes, this is Coda and Luke' father introduces us.

'Why aren't they grown up?' I ask.

'You are seeing us in the last form you remember sweety, you never got to see them grown up' mother explains.

'Those damned canines, they took my family away' I cry laying down.

'That's not true, you still have Blake and now Charlie along with his family' father tells me.

'But they aren't blood' I tell him as my brothers lay down beside me purring as they try to comfort me.

'Blood isn't what makes a family Analise' mother tells me and I look at her confused.

'Then what is a family? If not blood?' I ask her.

'Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones you accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you you no matter what' she explains.

'That's beautiful' I tell her.

'But we are always with you in here' father tells me nudging me in the chest where my heart is. I then started to play with Coda and Luke while our parents watched. However, all to soon father broke us apart saying 'I'm sorry, but you'll wake soon and there is something you must know.'

Suddenly Coda and Luke disappeared along with our surroundings. Now I was in a living room with two humans and in human form. "Who are you?" I ask confused.

"Makes sense you don't remember us in this form, you only saw it once before we died" the woman states. She had short blonde hair with brown strikes and bright blue eyes like me. Where the man had brown eyes and black hair with dark blonde strikes.

"Mother, Father?" I ask looking between them and they nod their heads smiling. I hug them both and they hug me in return. "Where are we?" I ask looking around the room.

"Our old living room before it was burned to the ground by those mutts" father growls.

"Relax, we have to warn her remember" mother tells him placing a hand on his shoulder.

"What warning? The mutts that destroyed us are gone and the feline race is coming back" I tell them confused.

"That is true, but there was someone that survived that night from the mutts pack" mother tells me. "The son of the alpha and needless to see he wants revenge. No doubt word will spread of you being with the Enforcers and what will happen when you mate with Charlie. There was a prophecy made after the Moon Goddess made you and Charlie mates. This canine does not want that prophecy to come true" she explains.

"What can he do?He is only one mutt" I tell her.

"True, but he is gathering an army of rogues and not just rogue canines" father tells me. "But we believe in you and know you can do this. You are our daughter and we love you dearly" he states hugging me. "Remember we'll always be in your heart as you are in ours. We'll be reunited again in paradise" he assures me.

"Wear this always, it'll protect you from the influence of others and stop anyone mating with you forcefully" mother states giving me bracelet. "You must go now, but know we are proud of you" she tells me as she hugged me. Dad joined the hug and soon everything faded as I woke up.
