Her Ultima Wolf

I roll my eyes at my mother..for what feels like the tenth time, in the last hour. Mom, I said, I know. You said it.. I heard it!I know my task. I know if I fail, if he doesn’t accept me.. all wolves are in peril. She smiled and said, “I am sorry,Arabella. For so many things. For having to leave you with a family, not your own..for only being able to be with you for two weeks a year. Remember, you cannot tell your mate who you are, until he accepts you” I said I know. Who will believe the Moon Goddess is my mother anyway? And she laughed and said “Well, everyone who sees your wolf will know. Your mate is an Ultima.. he matches you in every way. He will be difficult. Not impossible and you must be patient” I sighed and said and if he rejects me? Then what Mother? She smiles and says “He won’t. His wolf Eros is incapable of allowing it. He and Amaris have been waiting to be reborn to be together again. True fated soulmates. Only this time, Amaris is a demigoddess and Immortal so Eros won’t lose her!” Mom, he is a manwhore! You have had me watching him for two weeks every damned year for the last five. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to keep count! She sighs. “Bella, he believes true mates do not exist! I’m sure he would have waited for you, if he knew” Pffttt.. I said..he should have had faith! She said “Enough, Arabella! This is a matter of life and death! Now! Off you go!”
