Nightingale

Moon Goddess

Demetria POV*

When I opened my eyes, I was met with a blinding white light.

I quickly closed them again. This time I slowly opened my eyelids to adjust. And I was met with a gorgeous lady.

Her long silver hair blowing in the nonexistent wind. Her pink plump lips. Her long grey dress coated with sparkles with each step she takes. Her glowing silver eyes shining like the moon light. Wait moon.... The Moon Goddess!!

"Hello, my darling Demetria," her velvety voice spoke.

"H-hello, M-m-moon Goddess," I responded feebly looking down.

"Look at me Demetria," she commanded softly. But I couldn't. When he did it, it was alwats a trap to see if I would disobey his rules.

"Look at me. I am not Mike," she commanded firmer this time.

However, I couldn't and we both knew why.

"Why won't you look at me Demetria?"

"Because you are a superior. A somebody. While I am an Omega. A nobody." I stated serious to every word coming out of my mouth bringing tears to my eyes. "My older sister hates me. My father despises me. He allowed the pack to abuse me. My former mate r-raped me taking the only thing I had pride in left. I am no longer p-p-pure. He raped me. Why? Because I am a MISTAKE! I have no wolf. No home. My new mate probably would reject me too. And to top it all off i-it's m-m-my f-fa-fault! I am the reason she is dead! He said My mom d-di-died because of ME! Maybe it is if I didn't ask for another sibling mom would still be here." I sobbed onto the floor crying my eyes out.

The Moon Goddess ran over to the spot I was to comfort me. "No it wasn't your fault. Serene was sick. The pack doctor gave her a choice. To kill her baby and live. Or to have her child and die. She choose Maddie. MY sister. YOUR mother made that decision NOT YOU."

"Sister? Your my mom's sister?" the silver haired goddess nodded. "She always would say we had an important aunt and uncle and should be proud," we both giggled. "Why did you tell me this?" I asked timidly.

My aunt lifted my chin, "because you have the gift." she said 100% serious.

I shook my head. "No I don't. You have the wrong sister. I don't have anything special. Go to Gia. She has the strength and beauty. Or Maddie. She has the brains and sass. It's not me. The screw up. The weak link. The punching bag."

"Yes it is sweetheart," a familiar beautiful voice spoke. And out stepped...

"M-mom?" she nodded and opened her arms up to me. I ran into her and smelt the familiar scent of roses.

She was dressed in a knee length playful green dress with red roses. With matching green flats with real roses on them. Her dark brown hair in a loose waves. And her brown eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"I missed you, Demi. So much." My mom stated squeezing me tighter.

"I missed you, too."

"I love this moment. But you have to convince her. She won't believe me." The velvety voice I have grown accustomed too spoke.

"Ok. Demetria. Your aunt is telling you the truth. You are born with the gift like me, Selene, and Apollo. I have power over nature. Selene as you know the moon. And Apollo the sun." She breathed deeply.

"But you my darling have power over the elements to protect the innocents." I was about to speak but she raised her hand like a stop sign to silence me. " I know you believe you aren't worthy. Or some other bullshit Alpha Mike and Gia implanted in your head but you are. Because you are my daughter. You are no longer Omega. Or a punching bag. Or even Demetria Torres. You are Demi."

"Thank you," I said crying into her shoulder.

While she was rubbing soothing circles on my back, my aunt said "so basically you needed to hear what I said from a dead lady."

We all laughed.

After a few minutes, I broke the silence. "I have questions."

"We figured you would. Go on ask away." Selene encouraged.

"Do Gia and Maddie have powers?"

"Kinda. Gia has what we call the Aphrodite lure or sex appeal. Meaning if you look into her eyes long enough you'll be under her 'spell.' That is why she developed faster than normal, but she doesn't know." She explained about the oldest.

"Maddie?" I urged her to continue.

Her face brightened. "She is my little genius. She is similar to Athena as Gia is to Aphrodite. Maddie is bright in ALL things educational and battle strategy wise. But the battle strategy skill won't develop until she changes which is at the age of 5 due to goddess genes."

"If goddess genes quicken the change why did I take so long?" I asked sadly.

"Because your powers are stronger. Your sisters have simple skills but YOU have magic," Auntie Selene answered in a 'DUH' tone. It was weird seeing the goddess of the moon so chill.

"Demi... Sweetie, um...you're pregnant," I began to hyperventilate. "BUT once you and your mate accept, mate, and mark each other instead of Kyle's baby he/she will be hers." She finished calming my nerves slightly.

"What if I get rejected again?" I wondered tears pricking my eyes.

"You shouldn't get rejected by her dear for she is your true mate while Kyle was an alternative," Aunt Selene consoled rubbing my shoulder gently easing my nerves.

"Before you go you must hear of the prophecy," my mom told me. She pointed towards her sister who's silver eyes were replaced by all white eyes.

She began the prophecy "In 5 years time Demi will face a battle with her pack vs the dead and those dead to her. On the day the 3 god(desses) have no control, when the moon covers the sun. If battle not accepted it is the end of all things living as we know it." with one sharp intake of air Selene was back to normal.

"Do you Demi accept this destiny?" they asked in unison.

"I do." As soon as I said that I was in the hospital feeling surges of pain. And I screamed.
