Celestial Wulf Chronicles: Born Necromancer Book # 2

Ochum's Gift

Don Yonell nods to my mother and enters the portal. Appearing beside Alpha Reuben. As if in a trance, Don Yonell's voice transforms into a voice no longer his own. A female voice of unfathomable power and might continues where Titi stops, the goddess.

"I am Ochum, Goddess of the river and life's fertility, the youngest sister of your goddess. For years I have watched you attend and love my child as if he were born of your blood. From the union of my new protectors I will bestow to you a gift most sacred. Do you wish to have a child ALPHA RUBEN & LUNA Alejandro?" So gentle, lifting is her voice, all gasping at its melodic tone.

"Do you wish for my special cub to be this child?"

Both Alpha & luna, looking with thier hearts to Ben say "yes, my Goddess Ochum"

"and will your oath extend to him as it does for all living things."

All present now kneel showing respect. This is her will and none will oppose it. Standing side by side, both Alpha Reuben and Luna's hands clasp each other, Their response a blend of humility and pride "yes" eyes expressing both concern and reverence. Seen releasing Luna's hand stepping to stand beside his father, Both blood-related Alphas begin extending their inflamed hands. Leaning downwards preparing to place them on Ben's left and right shoulders. For a moment Ben looks at both blood-related Alphas, his eyes unsure, causing them to halt in their advance.

With reluctance and uncertainty, I look to father. My questioning eyes combine with my statement "father?" Protectively, father growls at the Alpha's warning them "PROCEED IF YOU WISH TO DIE." advancing stiffly to me. They part, granting him access to me.

Father reaches me extending his arms around my neck and kisses my forehead, causing me to squeal bowing burying my enormous head into his chest. He words are my strength "Whether bear or wulf YOU are always my son"

"I have and will love you as you are and accept you as you have always been to me Benjamin, my son." His soul, his illuminated eyes, his love for me in his words calm me. It was all I needed. I pull back meeting father's gaze. He loves me.

In his eyes, I see my father. My father, the wulf who raised me and will always protect me with a ferocious unconditional love that is only mine. Blindly prepared to challenge every force in existence for me. I know this to be true. Remembering moments I have gotten to see his smile, feel his reassuring hugs and kisses. There will never be any doubt He will always be there for me as I will him. Because he is .. MY FATHER.

But I will be happy with who I've always wanted to be. I reach up and kiss Luna's cheek, then our foreheads touch as I smile to my father staring into his powerful gaze "You always have."

Gently, I release myself from father's embrace. Turning from father, take a step and re-kneel in front of the Alphas, I am ready. Looking to them with eyes intensely glowing amber. My doubt, thanks you father..... gone.

With clarity, fearless my eyes began to glow with strong intensity, a deep amber color matching the Blood-related Alphas. My words a fierce force of fullness pride and conviction. My voice baritone "My Goddess OCHUM, I Will Be Wulf."

The goddess continues addressing my fathers "Do you wish for my special son to be that child?" A booming response that is no longer heard coming solely from Alpha and Luna. Rather a unanimous response is heard now from the whole pack "YES!".

Both palms holding halved wulf headed symbols of the Blood-Related ALPHA's become enveloped, blazing powerfully high in ice blue color flames. "Then before where resided the soul of a wulf and body of a bear. Let my final blessing be granted. Bringing peace to the SON of my Celestial Guardians Alpha & Luna. Uniting a family truly deserving of a cub. Welcome home...my nephew."

As one, their palms lean towards Ben gently touching down on his shoulders. As the transformation symbol begins growing, its ice blue fire is seen leaving their palms, to enter Ben's body.

Spreading its lines throughout Ben's body forming a wulf head on his back. His body radiates. Glowing markings find one another and connect. Repeating the same pattern on his chest.

Each firey outline tracing itself all throughout his body. Ice blue fire spread and encompasses Ben entirely. We all watch as a single emblem rises from the markings, extending off Ben's huge bulk-forming a large snarling wulf headed emblem with amber illuminating eyes.
