The Fate of The Luna

Chapter 41

Jordan's P.O.V.

"What prophecy are you talking about Liam? The Moon Goddess told me you were the key to everything! Not me! Maybe there's another woman, maybe this is just a misunderstanding," I hurriedly rush out trying to make sense of the situation I'm in. None of this is making sense. The fallen angel side of me is never fully in control unless I'm mad and allow it. Usually Estelle is the one who uses the powers of that side of me. She will teleport us places or use the power to make our aura more intimidating.

Estelle and I keep that side of me in check. I am not evil. I can't be. I am not anything like those who came before me in the lineage. Seth made sure I never allowed the darkness to consume me like Athena and Malcom wanted. Seth warned me when I was younger of the evils I possess and how to control them. I am not evil. Liam clears his throat and I look up to see him with worry in his eyes.

"Liam, I'm not evil. I promise I'm not," I whisper it. Desperate for him to believe or maybe just desperate for me to believe it. Liam pulls me closer to him. Freyja licks my face before all of them disappear back into my heart. The white light courses through me again, and I feel the darkness shrink farther and farther down. How could I be evil if the darkness within is too weak to even fight the light?

Liam just holds me for a while and rocks me in his arms. Usually I would be snarling and telling him to leave me alone, but I need him now more than ever I feel like. "Jordan?" Liam whispers my name and looks out the window at the moon. I hum a response as I wait for him to continue. "Let's go to bed, we can discuss leaving for the castle in the morning," He lifts me into his arms and takes me to my bed. He lays me down and covers me.

Liam turns to leave, but I grab his arm. "Please, Liam... I need you to stay with me tonight," I mumble. Liam immediately hops in the bed next to me and pulls me into his arms.

"I will stay with you every night for the rest of our lives, my queen," He whispers into my hair so quietly. The smile that takes over my face never leaves as we slowly fall asleep in each other's arms. At last we are with each other. No fighting. No arguing. Just peace. Just embracing the bond at last. The nightmares don't leave though.

Fire. Burning everything around me. I'm surrounded, but it isn't hurting me. I fly above and look around. Everyone is screaming around me, begging me to stop. I look at my hands, they're engulfed in flames. It is pouring out of my hands and lighting everything around me. I will the fire away and call to the water, but nothing changes. Liam is surrounded and screaming out at me. Frank is burning alive. They all weep and scream.

"Jordan! Jordan, please! Please stop!" Frank screams out to me. I watch the skin melting off his body. I try to make it stop. I'm crying and screaming.

"It won't stop! Why won't it stop?!" I bring my hands to my face to wipe the tears. The fire doesn't burn me, but it doesn't stop. I have no control over my own body. The darkness is seeping into every pore of my body. I can't fight it anymore. My hands aim to Liam and I burn him to a corpse. "NO! PLEASE NO!" I scream, but my hands continue to burn him. The aim turns to Frank and I melt him down to just bones. Black, scorched bones. The sobs rack through my whole body.

My whole pack, everyone I swore to protect, all dead. Dead by me. Seth lays dead to the side. His wings are burnt, and his head lies next to his body. The smell of burnt flesh, blood, and rotting corpses reaches my nose. I land next to Liam's corpse and pull him into my lap. I just burn him more in the process. I start crying more. Why did this happen? Why am I like this? I am not evil. I could never do this to them.

I cry my heart out over their bodies. The flames finally leave my hands. I will again for the water to come to me. It finally responds and I begin extinguishing every flame that I started. Lightning strikes and starts another fire in a straight line leading up to my feet. I spray water over it. I look around to take in my surroundings. I gasp.

I'm in the field the Moon Goddess brought me to when I was in a coma. It is destroyed completely. Everything is burnt to a crisp and dead. The grass, the trees, all black and dead. Why did I do this? I start walking around trying to find any clues. I reach the river that Freyja and I swam in. 'Freyja! Cerra! Lilah! Estelle!' I link all of them, but no one responds. I collapse onto the ground next to the river. I let the sobs rack my whole body as I mourn the loss of everyone. Including myself.

My soul is completely corrupt. I can feel the dark aura that surrounds me. I lost to myself. I am evil. "I SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN FUCKING BORN! I AM EVIL!" I scream out and hit my head on my hands repeatedly. I hate myself. I am weak. I can't even control my own powers.

Lightning strike again, this time no fire starts, but someone walks out of the scorched ground that it struck. "Don't come near me! I don't want to hurt you, PLEASE!" I scream, but the person continues approaching me. My hands light up once again with fire. "Please, please stay away," I beg, but my hands raise. The fire shoots out toward the person. It hits them directly, but they continue walking toward me.

"Jordan, it's okay. Just calm down," The voice comes out in a melodic soft voice. The person gets close enough for me to see who it is. My hands are still ignited and I'm still shooting fire at the person.

"Moon Goddess, please help me. Why can't I make it stop? I don't want to hurt you. I didn't mean to kill them... Please what am I doing?" I cry out at her. She smiles and continues approaching. Her silky white dress flows perfectly around her. My flames aren't affecting any part of her.

"Jordan, this is a warning of what is to come if you continue down the path you are. There is much you still have to learn about yourself and those who surround you. Trust in me and trust in your mate. You two are key..." She reaches out to me. I grab her hand and stand. We begin walking. The fire in my hands subsides.

"We are the key to what? I don't understand what you mean. Why can't you ever just give me a straight answer?" I growl getting irritated. She raises her eyebrows and stops walking.

"Jordan, watch your tone. Don't growl at me. I can't tell you the answers you wish to know because then this will happen indefinitely. You have to discover it on your own. If you choose wrong, you have not failed me. I will have failed you, my child," She smiles and takes my hands in hers. "Go with Liam to his castle and learn the prophecies about yourself. Change the ending, I know you can," Before I can ask how or what she means, she leans in and kisses my forehead.

I jolt awake covered in sweat. Liam sits up next to me. "What's wrong? You've been screaming in your sleep for ten minutes, but you wouldn't wake up. Was it a bad dream?" Liam looks over me with worry in his eyes. I shake my head.

"I'm okay... We need to leave for your castle soon, like tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to handle some things before we leave. I have to pack and make sure the pack will be okay while we are gone..." I trail off and get up to begin handling everything. Liam jumps up next to me and pulls me into his arms for a hug. I hug him back and allow myself to calm down. His scent calms me instantly.

"Let me help you with all of it. I will let Braven and my other men know we will be leaving at one today," Liam rubs my back. I sigh and nod. "It's three in the morning now. Let's let everyone sleep a while longer, and we will handle everything else we can, okay?" I nod again at him. He kisses the top of my hand and heads to the bathroom.

I head to my closet and begin packing. What do you wear when you are finding out your own fate?
