Celestial Wulf Chronicles: Trapped

Chapter -45- The Goddess Oya

In the next instant, a beam of moonlight reflects down onto the balcony. With it she appears. The Goddess. The pack, now including Reuben and myself, all, kneel bowing to her. The Goddess addresses us, her voice is soft and gentle like a morning warm wind caressing one's skin "Rise my children. For Itoo give my own blessings and bear witness to this union of Crimson & Sable. And accept the emergence of a new pack." I extend my arms for a hug to Sable and he runs, not hurries no, not even running respectfully, Sable RUNS into my arms embracing me tightly, softly voicing "Goddess."Embracing him I am reminded and ever so briefly, my gazes search for and finds Estrella. She nods slightly once. Understanding why I sought her. But for now... We have peace.

You would think at 36, I would know to act mature, nope still a kid inside. Besides, it is not every day you get to see A GODDESS! As in my dream; She embraces me, and I am home. Her smile is gentle and loving, her arms her embrace as if protected from the world itself. She closes her eyes and rests her cheek on my head as she speaks. Her voice tone just like my mothers, soft gentle, tender, yet reassuring and full of hidden power. "My dearest Sable against all odds, you have endured and prevailed. As I knew you would. I am proud of you".

She pulls gently back and away from me and looks to Reuben next "Crimson, you are now whole and will remain so until you both join me when the time comes." Reuben looks at me with a smile speaking volumes as he answers Goddess mother. His tone reveals strong pride, eye burning embers of forest green and deep devotion having me, now returned into his arms. "Thank You, Mother. He will forever know I love him, Mother. He is my moon." She smiles to him then to mom and they both look at him saying simultaneously, "Yes, we know."

Next, the Goddess Oya looks to a head bowed kneeling Randall, "COCOA. You have kept and fulfilled your promise to me. Unknown to you, I had given on you TWO blessings, one you have already found" she grins softly while briefly gazing at Robert "and the one to which I now will once again awaken within you." The Goddess's eyes illuminate for a moment. A light glittering yellowish white fog comes down and swirls gently around Randall. It shimmers, turning slowly in circular fashion. The goddess voice grows more powerful and projects as she speaks. "To all the CELESTIAL GUARDIAN MOUNTAIN PACK. I give to you my CELESTIAL COCOA, the celestial teleporting Wulf of the winds, your TRUE CELESTIAL GUARDIAN BETA." With an upward gesture of her hand, it rises.

Everyone stares in awe. Where previously stood Randall, Beta of the Crimson Mountain Pack. Brother of Alejandro and pack brother of Carmen. Randall the son of Cary, previous Alpha of the Celestial Guardian Pack. Transforms into a rich luster ebony brown colored Wulf Broad shouldered, thick bodied, muscled toned. His tail, feet, and neck encasing small swirling, spinning black hurricanes which spin tirelessly from their positions on his body. His once dormant Beta markings awakening, tracing throughout his body, glowing strongly, radiating unparalleled & ferocious power. An opal centered in the middle of his forehead holds a hurricane spinning in its center.

The goddess sights now fall to Carmen, "and to you my daughter CELESTRA for your sacrifice and loss. I give you something most dear to me and to.... your mother." Again the luminescent fog comes forth, this time surrounding Carmen. Now at the Goddesses command. When it lifts it changes completely Celeste. Whereas before Celeste was an orange Wulf with silver flecks in her fur, now before all stood a mist vaporous-gray Wulf. eyes glowing neon copper orange, also with an Opal in the center of her forehead showing spirit orbs within it. "Henceforth you will be known as-as CELESTRA Celestial Guardian Spirit Assassin of the GODDESS." Celestra bows her head in appreciation. As she lifts it, There she is standing beside the goddess, her mother. Eyes bursting with pride she says, "My daughter You have always made me proud. I love you" Carmen's tears come down and she bows her Wulf head to her mother. Before she can react, her mother is hugging her giving her peace, and she is whole.

The goddess looked at mom who is kneeling, head bowed. "Star I also, bless this union of packs. You are wise beyond measure Star worthy ALPHA of my CELESTIAL WULVES. I accept my warrior guardians." With that, she takes her to leave us. Before doing so she turns to a pregnant Clementina smiling tenderly at her speaking in a soft motherly voice "My daughter Clementina, you are and will become more than you appear. I have blessed you with two of my celestial children for a reason. You are an extraordinary celestial caretaker, mate, and soon mother. A heart as the one you possess, there is no other. I could think of no one better to bear my special children or to stand by my side when the time comes." Clementina looks at me, with a proud smile I meet her gaze. Then returns her gaze from her kneeling position back to the Goddess "Thank you, goddess," replying.

With that, The Goddess departs. The beam of light signifying her presence retreats into the heavens. We all now look around forever changed by her presence, all that is, except mom. She remains looking to the heavens, holding a most tender smile I remember I saw when I was a cub. She is grateful to have her son's back. AS MEANT. Watching toti as she is approached by Mima & Don Yonel. Soon, the trio is laughing engaged in conversation. It becomes infectious as the conversation grows amongst the pack members, everyone greeting their new leaders/celestials. I move a little away to stand closer to the balcony. Looking back, I turn to look at what my journey brought me.

First looking to my mate Reuben who found me, loving me with amnesia, accepting me when I could not accept myself. Holding onto the truth, I smile it never mattered to him, only I do. He has proven his love true. Both as I would have remained then, and who I am now. Not because it is our bond, but because he longed to end his own journey with HIS mate. My gaze moves to the members of my family, my most valuable treasures. Randall, my brother, "with all your sass, for thirteen years you gave yourself tirelessly to make me happy keeping me safe. Thanks to Reuben, Randall, you are now Beta of our pack." My smirk grows wider, showing itself. With a turn, I walk out and onto the balcony to sit on some very comfortable red bamboo sofas there. Turning my gaze back inside, I can see them and chuckle low knowing those two will DEFINITELY butt heads......... OFTEN. Hearing me chuckle Randall, standing sideways talking with toti, looks left my way smiling from within the arms, of his TRUE mate... Robert. Both happy beyond words. Mom also looks at me and nods her head. I return the gesture to her.

My eyes go to Reuben. I Hear him sharing the story of how we met to a group of very attentive pack members. He also heard me chuckle as well and lifts his head to look my way investigating pausing before continuing with his story "mate?" his baritone wulf speak whispers in my mind. "I laughed at a thought Kojak is all. "I wink at him as I change my sight to look to Carmen, my birth packs beta, Delta of my pack and my pack sister. Carmen, I understand why mom made you beta. Your wisdom is without measure. But your love for me also holds unlimited value. Both you and Bells...... my protectors. Another thought comes to mind and I make a promise to myself. "I will find her Carmen. I will find her and bring your daughter home. I promise."

Turning my gaze again. This time to my then caretaker discovered cousin and always a daughter, my smile first broadens then, for a moment on Alina/CLEMENTINA. Knowing full well at some point, I must tell her about my father. I look at my mother. She knows what I MUST do one day but will not tell me. Turning from all of them, my final gaze is over and out across the balcony onto my extended pack socializing across the lawn.

Sable says "Are you ready my...... Luna?" his tone joking. Our conversation in wulf speaks "Listen to you."Laughing. "I am not that gay OH WULF OF MINE!" we both laugh. Always one for the last word Sable says, "It is our title now. Yet, as you wish Ale. .. as you wish." Then changes the conversation to something we know is more important: "The prophecy has realized us, Alejandro. We must prepare. "His words were heavy. Looking, reflecting on all I have regained I say "Sabe? Can we just enjoy our coming home?... for now?" finally understanding moms smile to the Goddess as now, I do the same. It's for these blessings. Thank you, Goddess. Hearing my thoughts, Sable acknowledges his understanding"Yes my soul companion. You're right."

I was born Alejandro MAISONET once the mentally trapped alpha of the Celestial GUARDIAN PACK suffering from Amnesia. But Now, I am Alejandro Acosta MAISONET. Luna of the CELESTIAL GUARDIAN MOUNTAIN PACK. I hear Sabe Wulf speaking. The power in his words causes me to inhale deeply, expanding my chest with pride knowing he is right.

"At last We are home. No longer.... Trapped"
