His Alpha Female
Chapter 42

SELENE:

Once I made sure Drystan was asleep, I switched off his light, walked back to my room, and just collapsed on my bed.

An exasperated sigh left my lips and I pinched the bridge of my nose, today has been one hell of a day. First I realize my finance is a 5-wolved Werewolf, then I replace out one of his wolves killed his parents, how the said wolf is the reason he constantly passed out, and worse of all, I did something I had never done before. Before I could get my thoughts in check, they already wandered off to the moment Drystan told me about Kazmer trying to force his way out.

****** FLASHBACK ******

"Kazmer is one of my wolves, and he is constantly trying to break free from the hold I have on him," Drystan said, and gently broke free from Clarissa's hold, "It's been like that ever since I banished him"

I scrunched my brow and everyone in the room except Drystan, had an equally confused look on their faces "you mean you know why you constantly pass out?" Derrick broke their silence and I momentarily looked at him, before my attention was back on Drystan, who softly nodded.

"And you never thought to tell us?" Clarissa queried and he sighed, "why didn't you ever tell us?"

"Because I thought it'd stop, I always thought every time it happened would be the last time, but apparently not" he breathed out, and then met eyes with Derrick, "I'm sorry I don't tell you earlier, I honestly thought it'd end"

"Why then did you decide to tell us now? What magic trick happened that finally made you open up to the people you've convinced were your family for years?" Derrick asked and I clenched my fists, he was taking this farther than it should be, "and I guess the same magic trick made you open up to Selene because she doesn't look lost at the fact you said one of your wolves. Did you also tell her about Kazmer?"

Drystan made to answer him, but I immediately cut him off, "that's enough, Alpha Derrick" I sneered and stood to my feet, "you might be his Alpha but that doesn't give you the right to speak to him like he's a traitor! He had his reasons for keeping that to himself, okay? Have you ever thought of what he might have been going through keeping this away from you? The thoughts he might have had of what will happen if he told you the said wolf that killed his parents is trying to break free?" I sneered and inched closer to Derrick, who looked shocked and kept walking back with each step I took

"Did you think of that? Or all you thought about was that you were kept in the dark?"

"Selene" Clarissa mumbled but I ignored her, "Selene" she called out again, but I ignored her again and was busy glaring at Derrick, who looked like he was about to poop his pants. "Selene!" Her voice came again, this time louder and more urgent, and I snapped my head towards her.

"What!?" I thundered and the glass jug broke into pieces. She yelped and immediately ran into Drystar's arm, fury washed over me when I saw her in his arms and I wanted to march towards her and drag her away from him, but just as I was about to take a step, Drystan stood up and slowly walked towards me

When the page popped up once again, I took a deep breath and began reading, "Unum in pace vitam et mortem; one at peace with life and death. The saying for the one of its kind, one the moon goddess has so carefully crafted but has forgotten." "It's known in almost every pack that one day, a hybrid will be born to help the moon goddess's beloved and to start the race of Truebloods again, but little to no one knows what powers she'd possess, what form she'd come in, and the process of her growth. But I know, and I'll let you all know today"

"She'd be born of blood and fire, possessing the ability to heal and to destroy, to see the past and to change the future, capable of conceiving Truebloods, but this can only be done if she is with the beloved. Her powers are limited to him, they can only be awakened by him and can only be used for him and on him, and death she shall know if used on another" I paused and scoffed.

"I am basically his servant then, serve him or die" I mumbled and resumed reading.

"She'd be born as three persons in one; a werewolf, a witch, and a hybrid, and unless she accepts the three forms of who she is, she will be nothing but an outcast amidst her people. Unum in pace vitam et mortem, a saying that only she possesses the power of unlocking."

I sighed as soon as I was done reading the article and I dropped my phone on the couch, I doubt the authenticity of the article but the writer wrote with such confidence, and most parts of what she wrote made sense and to an extent, cleared my confusion. The three parts of me made sense, but the powers he/she listed felt too much for me. If they can only be used on the so-called beloved, that means if I mate with Drystan, I stand a chance of dying?

"What a funny trick, moon goddess! Funny trick!" I mumbled and shook my head. My life has been so carefully crafted for me by the moon goddess, with a penalty of death if I fail to adhere to it, and on the other hand, there's my life with Drystan, which the so- called moon goddess let happen?

"Every day I keep realizing why on Earth I don't like you!" I spat out, "you give these riddles and rules for the people you've created and give them no clue nor guidance for it, and you call yourself a goddess, more like demoness" I sneered and sprung up from the couch, to head back to my room, but I accidentally hit the table and the book fell to the floor and a page opened up.

I grunted and picked it up, I was just about to close it when my eyes caught the heading on the passage, "The moon goddess's beloved" I read out aloud and a smile tugged on my lips, but the moment I read the first sentence of the passage, my eyes widened and the book slipped out of my hand.
