The Luna's Mate

Don't say goodbye (pt 2)

(Aries's POV)

    "Give us what we want." The guy, Markus?, states.

    "We don't have it anymore. We got rid of it years ago." Lilly states.

    "If you don't give us what we want, we will kill you." Another guy threats.

    "Go ahead. Kill me. It won't do you any good." She doesn't even seem scared. Trails of blood leek down the sides of her neck as the mutts claws digs in deeper. She inhales as he slits her throat and kills her. She falls onto the ground, lifeless.

    "We warned you." The sneer, fading back into the blackness. I rush forward to my lifeless mate.

    "No, no, no. Please, this can't be happening. Please, you can't leave me." I cry.

    "Aries, you need to help me get her inside. She can't wake up out here, it wouldn't be right." Jax touches my shoulder.

     "Wake up, what do you mean wake up?"

     "We'll explain everything. But we need to get her inside first." I nod my head, picking her up gently and carrying her inside.

     "So what did you mean wake up?" I hold her head in my lap, wishing she'd breath again.

     "We'll let her explain. She'll wake up any second now." As he says that, she sucks in a deep breath and her eyes open. He hand flies to her neck and I see that is closed up, there's no more gashes, when did that happen? And how did I not notice?

     "Oh, god. I forgot how much that sucks." She groans.

    "Lilly? Oh, Lilly! How are you alive?" I cry, this time in happiness. And I don't cry, ever.

     "I guess its time to explain. You see when I told you about me, I didn't tell you everything..."

     "Ok.. So explain now." I say. Everyone settles in around me. My pack members look interested to find out how she just came back to life, her pack members look pained. Huh, weird. I wonder why.

    "Have you ever wondered why no one has ever met my parents? Or anyone else's? Have you ever wondered why there are only a small handful of adults in this pack, and they are all under 30?"

     "Yeah, I have been curious about that."

     "My parents, and my sister, did die. But they died in 1506."

     "Wait, but you said that they died when you were six. So that would have to mean that..."

     "That I was born in the year 1500? Yes, that is true. I was. Everything that I have told you, is true. The years, weren't."

     "But that would make you really old."

     "517 years old to be exact."

     "How is that even possible?" My sister chimes in. "You look so young."

     "I stopped aging when I turned 17. We all did."

     "Wait, your all like this?" She looks at her mate, who looks down uncomfortably.

     "Yes, we are. The only reason we have any adults in this pack was because they aren't like us. We are a special race of wolves. Direct descendants of the first werewolves. We have special abilities. And long lives is one of them. All of us were born between 1500 and 1502. Except Jax, he's the only one who was born in 1499. We all can't die. Well we can, but we come back to life after only a few minutes. If there is anything you want to know, just ask."

      "What happens when you find your mate?" Layla asks, looking up at Aron.

      "Once a wolf of our blood line finds and marks with their mate, the mate becomes like us, in a way. They live as long as we do, and they come back after they die, like we do. But they don't get any extra powers." Aron explains.

     "Extra powers? You all have extra powers? What are they?" I ask.

     Aron: "Mine is spirits. I can see and communicate with the dead."

    Danny: "I can heal any injury."

    Jax: "I can see the future, or at least most of it." Some of their other friends chimed in with abilities ranging from talking to animals to control over electricity. I look down at Lilly.

     "What's yours?

     "I have an affinity for the elements. Air, fire, water, earth, and spirit. My spirit element is different than Aron's though. He can communicate with the dead. I can restore someone's spirit. Its hard to explain."

     "Ok, my last important question. Why were you guys affected by those names?"
