My Mother Is Alive? Saphira’s POV I opened my eyes; it took me a minute to adjust my eyes. As things came in to view it, I quickly realized I wasn’t in the garden still. I wasn’t sure where I was. I had never seen this place before. I took a minute to take in my surroundings. I was standing in a field with the Ocean to my left and a forest to my right. As I scanned the forest line, movement caught my eye. It was hard to make it out at first, but I soon realized it was the wolf that had spoken to me before. Wait, that means that is the MOON GODDESS! I swallowed hard as I watched her walk towards me. As she drew closer, I could tell that she was much, much bigger than any wolf I had ever encountered before. She came to a stop 20 or so feet from me. I should have been terrified, but I was surprisingly calm. “Hello Saphira, I am so happy I have finally found you. I have been searching for you since the night of the crash.” It took me a moment to respond because I was distracted by what I saw. Her fur was moving and changing colors. One moment it would look like the night sky with stars and the moon, and then what looked like small wolf pups would dash across her side like they were playing tag. It was almost like watching an old black, and white cartoon, except the colors were various shades of purple and silver. “Why were you looking for me?” I questioned when I finally registered what she had said. “Because you are my Daughter.” I shook my head” no, I really think you must be mistaken. My mother died having me. “”Child, who do you think your father was taking you to see at the top of that mountain the night he died? Did you ever visit a grave or see an urn of ashes? No? That is because there wasn’t one. I am very much alive.” I was beginning to feel anger boiling inside of me. “Why did you leave us? Why was I told you were dead? Wait, you are the Moon Goddess; why didn’t you save us that night? You could have saved dad; he didn’t have to die. Did you even love him?” “Child,” she softly spoke, “it isn’t as simple as 1135 My Motherla Alv 209 Volchees that.” “How isn’t it that simple?” I yelled. “You abandoned us and let my dad die. Why didn’t youNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
come for me? You left me here with Aunt. Pamela and that horrible Alpha.” “Child, please let me explain. I had to return to my duties as the Moon Goddess once you were born. Your father and I agreed it was for the best for me to leave you both to give. you a chance to grow up as a normal happy child before you were to take on what was destined for you. Moon Children are special and possess special abilities. Some are gifted with the ability to read people’s minds, while others can travel freely between the veil and human worlds.” “How many Moon Children are there, “I asked? “That exist now? Hundreds. That have existed thousands. “But how does that work? Are they all your children? No child, you are my only child. Then how are they all Moon Children if you didn’t give birth to them?” I could see her smile. “While I am “the Moon Goddess and The Alpha of all that I govern. Other lesser G o d s and Goddesses follow my instruction. and work under me. All of their children and their children’s children and work under me. All of t and so forth are considered Moon Children because the blood of a G o d or Goddess runs through them. You, my child, are special because you are a direct descendant of me but also your father, who is a direct descendant of the Royal Court of the Unseelie Fac”. “How is this possible? There is no way I am who you say I am; this must be one hell of a dream. If I was who you say I am and am so important, why did you abandon me? Did you not want me?” I asked with tears running down my face. “NO child, please understand I looked for you, but they had hidden you away from me.” “Who hid me?” I asked. “Your Uncle and his witches were responsible for the wreck that killed your father. That night they cast a spell that hid them from our view and prevented us from finding them. When they had you in their possession, they cast a spell on you, hiding you from all of us as well as blocking your ability to use your power against them.. Only when the Elders put your blood on the moonstone was I finally able to feel you again. I am sorry I failed you and your father, but I have you now and vow never to lose My Mother Is Alive? you again. I have informed your father’s family that we have found you, and they are making preparations as we speak to make the journey from the Realm of Fairy to meet you. For now, I believe we have talked. enough, and it would be wise to send you back to your mate. He is not
handling you not waking up well.” My heart Dropped a bit when she said this. “She could sense my worry. Saphira, do not fear him; Ren is a good man and loves you unconditionally already. He would move the moon itself if he thought it would make you happy. Give him a chance. I am unable to see what has happened to you as the Spell the witch cast on you is still active but do not worry between the Elders and your fathers family; we will be able to break this curse, and then you will be able to begin to learn who you truly are and take your rightful place ast the High Moon Child.”
