Heart of the stray {bxb} ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

8.

P.O.V no name to remember

It's dark, pitch-black to be exact. It always is when Niark takes control. sometimes I get flashes of what's going on when it's important, whether that be to him or if it will be to me.  this time the most I got was pieces of my mate and a little girl with kind eyes. 

Tonight was different, it was like a spark in the air. something simmering that neither I nor Niark knew of. His fur stands on edge. I would ask what's going on but he has blocked our link, for what reason I have no idea but I assume it has something to do with the energy that's currently surrounding us. 

a low humming fills the air, only it can't be a sound or else I wouldn't be able to hear it. It sounds the way I imagine a thousand bees would sound if they were to surround one. The humming moves from what I first thought was a sound to a feeling deep in my bones. 

The feeling isn't unpleasant but it's completely different to anything I've imagined before. The humming and buzzing get louder and louder making my nerves get on edge. Before it stops. 

The sudden quiet is disturbing from the buzzing and humming from before. It was weird. It was weird and dark with nothing around. my wolf, Niark and I were both on edge, completely. His hackles would rise and all of my hair would be standing on edge. 

My mind pauses from it's inner monologuing when a light appears. although I am currently within my mind's space the light somehow still blinds me enough to compel me to cover my eyes from the blinding light. 

When I remove my arm from my eyes I see a woman before me. She is tall with what I would describe as elvish features, minus the ears. She was a tall figure with minimal curves if she had any. Long dead straight hair falls down covering her exposed breasts from view. a jewelled headband with a hanging crescent moon sits on her forehead and a long lavender skirt covers the rest of her privates and her legs. A pale grey almost white colour fills her iris making her pupils stand out drastically. 

"I am the Great Mother, the first witch, your moons first daughter and I am here for your connection." Her voice is soft and silky. it's warm and is filled with more wisdom then I would even find in myself in all of my lifetimes.

"My connection?" I question quite confused about her meaning behind her words. 

"Forgive me young one I forget wolves have different words than us witches. I mean your mate bond, the trouble you have with your other half to your heart." She glides towards me as she is speaking before she delicately sits down only a metre away. Once shes finished speaking her hand moves towards mine in which she holds softly as if she is holding a rose. 

My mind tries to wind in turmoil over the truth in her words. He doesn't want me. 

A soft giggle stops my train of thought from going any further. It's unexpected from someone seems to be from old times. Someone who she seems to be. It's also unexpected coming from someone who seems to be serious and intelligent for from my own knowledge the serious and intelligent don't giggle. 

"Dear child your thoughts are incorrect, he wants you more than King Midas wanted gold. Although he is quite troubled. He has been in a situation before where one had made a heinous crime, they pretended to be his mate. It had caused more disruption within this one pack that I have seen in many years." She frowns at this as if she hates what this mysterious person had done. which in this case I believe she does.  "Although my mother has already warned I cannot tell you more than that for she believes that you will fix his mistrust and help in... future happenings. That is, after all, she chose you to be his." she contains a soft smile while talking of her mother and what she has planned for me and my mate taking away her frown from just before.  

"So what must I do Great Mother?" I ask looking into her pale eyes.

"Patience child, patience and in two days change places with your wolf, this night is important for the both of you for the moon is in half phase exactly two weeks away from the full moon. At that time as I'm sure you know, child will be the point in which your mate will find it hardest to not mark you as his and officially claim you for himself."

"What does this have to do with two nights from now?" I ask biting into my lip in uncertainty for why she is asking this of me. 

"His wolf will visit you then and if yours is in charge the balance will tip and your paths will find it harder to intertwine with fate's choices. Understand child?" she asks gazing deep into my eyes trying to get her point across without confusion. 

"I think so Great Mother." I give a single nod towards her.

"That will have to do child for my time is up, goodbye child." with that she fades from my eyes leaving me with the black blankness that is my minds space.
