Chapter 31: Home Again

“The…who?” I said, shocked.

“Moon Goddess.” He confirmed. I side eyed Wyatt, and he looked at me just as shocked. Moon Goddess herself?

“That’s impossible, she’s like…an astral being or whatever. Spiritual. Impossible.” I said, staring down at him.

“Long silver hair?” He asked, staring at me.

“Yes.” I nodded, crossing my arms.

“Small frame, toned body?”

“Yes…” I started doubting myself.

“Musical voice”

“Uhm…”

“Astral eyes?” I shook my head.

“No, she had plain brown eyes.” I smirked.

“It was her.” He repeated. “She must have a human form or something. In her territory, she had super long silver hair that little faeries danced in, and her eyes were literal galaxies. Whenever one exploded, the sky lit up with like purples and pinks and blues, but when a new one formed, the sky was like red and green and orange. She moved like a hologram and it was like she had a million voices. Like she spoke and mindlinked me at the same time.”

My jaw was on the floor by the time he finished describing her. Wyatt had the same look on his face when I finally pulled myself together. I cleared my throat, looking around.

“If it was Moon Goddess herself, where was her wolf?” His brows furrowed together. Maybe it wasn’t Moon Goddess then.

“Jett says she was with him.” Xavier replied, and my eyes widened. “Her name was Jade, she was pure black and her eyes looked exactly like Moon Goddess’.”

“That’s intense. What happened while you were there? You were comatose out here.” Wyatt said, and I nodded. Xavier looked at all the machines he was hooked up to.

“I woke up and everything was dark. Took me a while to realize there was grass under me because there was so much mist. It was in a field, a very large field. There was a river, and trees, and flowers. The moon stayed in the same place, and the stars always shining so I have no idea how long I was there.”

“You were in a coma for over a month.” I said flatly. He looked at me with a pained expression and continued his story.

“I decided to follow the River and I heard a humming noise, so I followed that. It was beautiful, high and low notes at the same time. I didn’t recognize it, but it was comforting. I felt safe and welcome, cared for and loved. There was a beautiful pond surrounded by trees, and a large rock over hanging the pond. It was in a meadow and it was bright and beautiful, with flowers in bloom.” I side eyed Wyatt.

Is he talking about the pond on Green Leaf territory?

I mind linked him and his eyes widened.

No, that’s impossible. He’s never been there.

His response was panicked, and I agreed. We turned back towards Xavier, who looked at us with his eyebrows raised. I shook my head and gestured for him to continue.

“She was sitting on the rock. Moon Goddess was. She looked exactly as I described, and she was naked. We talked, and then she had me drink water from that pond that she scooped up with a bowl.” I scrunched up my face and giggled. He looked at me questioningly again, and then at Wyatt when he chuckled. “After that, everything was totally black.” Xavier scowled, and my cheeks flared up. “It was like I was floating, but without a body. I could hear everything everyone said.” His face softened as he reached up to touch my face. I leaned into his touch, closing my eyes and smiling at the familiar flame.

“Speaking of, where’s that nurse at?” Wyatt looked around. I snapped my head in his direction and nodded.

“Yeah, where is she?” I stood up, Xavier’s hand dropping as he looked at us, confused.

“Who?” He asked as Wyatt left the room.

“This nurse or whatever. Said she was your mate.” He chuckled.

“The only mate I smell in here is of coconut.” He said, and I leaned over to k**s him.

***********************************************

After another week in the hospital, we were finally able to go home. I was stretched out on my bed, Xander snoring softly beside me and scrolling through social media by the time Xavier exited the bathroom. He was drying his hair that was freshly cut after a good almost 7 weeks in the hospital, his shorts hanging super low on his waist.

We made eye contact and my stomach growled. He laughed, a deep laugh that I missed so much.

“Hungry?” He asked, putting on a shirt. I nodded, standing and stretching. We made our way down the stairs and sat down, our plates being sat in front of us. A couple bites into my sausage link and there was a commotion in the kitchen. Xavier and I looked at each other, confused. I stood and made my way to the kitchen, Xavier’s eyes following me.

“…that is not allowed!” An omega was telling another omega as I walked in.

“What’s going on here?” I asked. The omegas quickly turned towards me, bowing.

“Sorry, Luna. Emma was eating before she was supposed to.” The girl who was yelling stared. I looked at Emma, and it was the girl from Silver Lake that I “saved”.

“You guys have a certain time you’re supposed to eat?” I asked, frowning.

“Yes, we’re not supposed to eat until all the warriors and elites have finished.” The first girl stared.

“That’s not true.” I said and they looked at me, startled.

“I’m sorry Luna, I don’t understand?”

“That’s not true. Omegas can eat at the same time as everyone else, you just have to cater while you eat.” I said, raising my eyebrow. They nodded at me enthusiastically. “Alright, back to doing what you were doing.” Emma pulled a sausage link from behind her back and shoved it in her mouth, making me laugh. She bowed again and scurried off, and I made my way back to my plate.

I smiled at Xavier as I dug into my food, Xander walking down the stairs and joining us. I nodded to him as I finished my plate, linking my fingers through Xavier’s and walked up the stairs to our bedroom.

“I’m gonna go work out. I need to get back to where I was.” He said, and I nodded.

“I’ll join you!” I changed into leggings and a sports bra, following him down to the gym. We began by stretching, loosening our muscles so we didn’t hurt ourselves. After stretching, I started on squats while Xavier started on bench pressing.

After a few hours and a cycle of workout equipment, I was panting and laying on the floor as Xavier smiled down at me.

“I’m proud of you, Little Lily.” He said, helping me to my feet. “Let’s go shower and eat lunch.” I laughed, racing him to the top step for our floor. I beat him by a few steps, but only because I had a head start.

We won’t tell them that.

Dash snorted with laughter and I agreed. I opened the door to our bedroom and saw Wyatt snoring peacefully, and made my way into the bathroom. Xavier shut the door with a soft click as I turned on the shower and peeled off my sweaty clothes. As soon as I stepped under the water, my muscles started loosening. Xavier soon joined me, and he g*****d when the water hit his skin.

“You never make that noise for me.” I pouted, sticking out my l*p.

“You’re right, I make better noises.” He laughed, making me laugh. His hands ran through my hair, lathering shampoo through it. I swayed on my feet, enjoying the quiet time with my mate. He moved my body back and forth from under the water, rinsing my hair and scrubbing my scalp.

“Can I take you on a date, Lilith?” He asked, and my eyes flew open. Soap slid into it, and I growled in anger, letting my open eye flush underneath the running water.

“A date?” I questioned, rubbing my eye with my knuckle and looking up at him.

“Yes, a date.” He smiled, and I laughed at him.

“Yes, of course; I’d love to go on a date with you Xavier.”
