His Half Goddess • BOOK II

Chapter XVII

Our lips molded together. For some reason, this felt more real than any other time Ryan and I had kissed before. It was meant to be. I started to cry, pulling him closer as he lifted me against the wall. Dion was perfect, he was what I needed.

As we broke apart for air, I ran my hands across his face, trying to remember every feature of him. ¨I must have hurt you a lot when I rejected you many times.¨ I whispered.

He shook his head. ¨No, you didn't know. Your Mother erased it from your memory on purpose. It was for your safety.¨

I smiled. ¨Yes...but it's interesting though, you still don't have a scent.¨

¨I'm technically still a majority of a god so...a handsome one at that.¨ I rolled my eyes and started to walk down the stairs, muttering, ¨Narcissist.¨

We walked down together, hand in hand. Jen was with Daniel and she looked at me curiously. I shrugged. "So, Isla is talking with West. Well...I hope they're actually talking. Anyway, I think magic will be coming into the pack, but just for good."

Jenna smiled and Daniel put his arm over her shoulders. "It'll definitely be weird. I think we'll adjust though." She responded.

"So, you are the Moon Goddess..Have you been able to talk with your Mother yet?" Dion asked.

Shaking my head, I sighed. "No. So much has been going on, there's been a lot of changes. I need to though. It's starting to become evening..."

The Delta put a hand on my shoulder. "You'll know what to do. It's in your blood."

"Speaking of blood...it's been three months. I'm wondering when the spell will change us back to our original positions." I said, recalling back to when Isla demoted her for a terrible mistake she made.

She sighed, "Honestly, who knows if it will ever. It's an ancient spell. I'm fine with being Delta. It feels like nothing has changed, really."

"It's not okay with me. I felt a lot of pressure when being Beta. You're the main general of everything. I could not work with that as you could. Maybe..." I bit my lip.

"What is it?"

"Maybe I could do it myself. I am capable of doing it now that I'm taking care of 'my own creation.'" Once we get back, everything will be in chaos but you are there to fix that."

Her eyes shined in happiness. I knew inside she liked being Beta. It was in her family for generations of course. I needed to figure out how to get this outfit off. As much as I loved it, it felt too gaudy and showy around the other wolves. I couldn't just take it off since it was magic.

I looked at Dion quickly, "Hey, I'll be right back. I'm going to see if there is some way I can contact my Mother."

Walking to an empty room, I took a deep breath. Calling out to her was not an option. It failed the times before when I was angry mostly. Think Mal, think. I imagined Mother, her long flowing straight blonde --almost white-- hair and her crystal blue eyes. I want to talk to you. Imagining the huge room we always appeared when she summoned me, my mind focused on only that.

When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the dusty stone room I was in. The familiar marble walls were as shiny as ever. Mother sat on a couch, looking at me, her beautiful smile told me to come forward, no words spoken. I started to cry. I hadn't spoken to her in months.

She opened her arms and I ran towards her, enveloping in her motherly scent. She always seemed intimidating to the common eye but to me, she was always there for me. "Meridin.." Mother whispered.

"Mom..." I responded, crying harder. "Y-you didn't come...I felt so lost..."

The Goddess sighed, tilting my chin up, and made me look at her. "I know. I am so sorry. I could only come to dark magic once; I used that when you were an infant. This magic was stronger than ever. I may seem invincible, but there's only so much I can do. I know it seems terrible, but..." She sighed and ran her fingers through my hair, comforting me.

I frowned, looking away. "You never told me that you were making me in charge of the Moon. This is all too much."

She nodded, taking her hands away and wrung her hands together. "I know. If I could do anything I would not have put that much pressure on you, my baby. Zeus...he took charge, seeing your quick thinking and your abilities, despite your pack's help. You still overcame dark magic." Mother groaned and rolled her eyes. "My cousin thinks he's 'all that' but he's only the god of lightning. He doesn't understand the capabilities it takes to take charge of the moon." Laughing, the Goddess put a hand on my shoulder. "He's such a jerk. Zeus is only in charge of lightning. But he threatened me...blackmailed me..."

I raised my brow and put my hands on her cheeks. "With what?"

With a sigh, Mother looked at me from under her long lashes, "Your father.¨
