Chapter 16 - Damn You, Moon Goddess

"What do you need to tell us?" Aubrey asked.

We moved to the bed after our group hug. Evander was seated on my left, Aubrey on my right. My hands were in my lap in an attempt to stop them from shaking. I had every right to be afraid, though. Even if they were my mates, sharing about my ability was dangerous. The only people who knew about my ability at this point were the pack leaders, Wren, and Joshua. Well, someone else, too.

Was I ready to widen that circle of people in the know?

You'll have to at some point.

Okay. Deep breaths. Just get it over with. "I...so, you know how you said Rin has powers as a dragon?" I started.

"Yes?" Evander prompted.

"Well, you see, werewolves can have powers, too."

"Really? I wasn't aware of this," Evander said with a frown.

"Yeah. It's not very well-known because special wolves like that are hunted down."

"I see."

"And, I'm bringing this up because...well, uh, I'm one of those weres," I admitted slowly.

"Really?" Aubrey asked in shock.

"Mhm," I confirmed with a hum. I looked down at my legs, glad the hardest part was over now. "I can see mate bonds. They're like floating red strings attached to people's fingers."

"So did you see our bonds?" Evander asked me.

"No. I can't see my own. I sensed you guys like any normal wolf would, from your scent. That means I can't see your strings either since it's one and the same. But, I can see everyone else's."

"And you said you're hunted down for it?" Aubrey asked.

"Yes. Luckily, I've never been attacked directly over it, but Alpha James has warned me about past events."

"Who else knows?" Evander asked.

"Not many others. Alpha James, the beta, gamma...Wren and Joshua."

There's one more person, Aaron. Evander frowned at my words. He must've found it odd as to why Wren and Joshua knew and not Erin or Ryder, for example. I wasn't about to explain that Wren was special, though.

"And us, now," Aubrey added.

"Yeah. So, the reason why I told you guys this is because you needed to understand how I know what I'm about to tell you. Since I'm special, I can be pulled into dreamscapes. I've never entered one on my own, but I have been summoned. I was called to a dreamscape last night by Rin."

I then explained to them everything that happened in the dreamscape but left out Wren's involvement for now. The rocks, carvings, earthquakes, everything. I did leave out the part where Evander apparently cares, though; I didn't want to embarrass any of us. When I was done, they both went silent.

"That sounds scary," Aubrey whispered.

"It was," I admitted with a hum.

"Do you plan on telling your alpha what you've told us?" Evander asked.

"Not exactly. Eventually, I want Erin and Ryder to know, but for now, with the rest of the mission group out of the circle, I'd rather just lie the way we have been doing so far by using Kit."

"Alright. Well, thank you for telling us. We will keep your secret, of course," Evander assured me.

"I had to tell you at some point," I mumbled in embarrassment.
