Chapter 68 — The Awakening

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” -Max Holloway Neron

pure energy

An epic force of blasted my body into the walls of the packhouse. Bricks groaned on impact, shifting out of place. Kiya’s scream rebounded through the territory, shaking the windows to their breaking point.

| slumped to my knees, weakened by the searing pain through my torso. The hole was healing, but slowly. | tried to push the pain aside as | squinted through the bright light before me, trying to spot Kiya.

Moon Goddess, please tell me that thing didn’t take her! The light began to fade and all that was left was thick dust. | prayed desperately for a sign that she was still there. That she was safely away from that monstrous thing that sprouted from my undead uncle.

Please, oh Goddess, please! When the dust cleared, my eyes widened like saucers at the scene before me..

It was Kiya, yet it wasn’t. My Kiya’s beautiful curls were black as obsidian, but the curls | saw before me were white as moonstone. They gently danced with the wind, waltzing to a silent melody. White markings delineated with glowing blue etched into her brown skin. The prominent contrast of the colors enhanced her beauty. The markings swirled and danced across her skin, like tribal makeup or henna. Kiya lifted her hands to examine them.

“Kiya...?” | had to be sure she was still in there.

She turned around. It was her, no doubt. Now, instead of deep brown, her eyes were the brightest, most electric of all blues. The same white markings on her arms and back were present on her face, exposed chest, and stomach.

She looked like an actual goddess. “Neron?” Kiya asked, her voice layered with Artemis, echoing with each syllable. “What happened to me?”

| couldn’t answer her. | didn’t know what was going on either, but the power radiating from her was intense. Her beauty was enamoring; she looked beyond radiant. | tenderly pushed myself back upon my feet and moved closer, my hand reached out and cupped her cheek. Her skin felt warmer. It was a soothing warmth, like hot tea before bed. Her eyes bore into mine, concern swimming behind the lens. | don’t know what happened to her.

The rogues slowly began to reform around us. They circled and snarled until one of them broke form to charge at Kiya. Her concern melted away as she tore her eyes from mine, attention back to the rogues.

“Leave!” Her voice was firm and powerful as an ancient deity. The mutts whimpered and writhed before falling, their bodies deteriorating like wet paper. Mangled limbs of different wolves rotted away. My uncle’s dismembered body rotted along with them, already adding to the foul stench in the air. Kiya’s eyes widened in shock, pointing at what she did. It was unbelievable. She ended the ambush as it started with a simple command.

Chapter 68-The Awakening “What's happening?” She whispered in wide-eyed shock. “What the hell is going on? How was | able to do that?”

“| think you have the goddess’s power,” | noted flinching on the last word. | rubbed my chest, careful to not graze the wound. Her worried gaze went to the wound in my chest, “You're not healing fast enough. Does it still hurt?”

“A little.” | lied, it fucking hurt a lot. | knew she detected my dishonesty. Her fingers lightly graze across the wound, fingertips staining red. | was about to stop her, to let her know | was fine and that she didn’t need to worry about me when suddenly, | was bathed in a cooling sensation. It was like swallowing cold water after chewing mint gum. The skin around my wound began to regenerate faster than ever before, until it closed completely, leaving behind a barely noticeable scar.

My eyes widened in absolute dismay. Did...she heal me? “She did!” Onyx yipped in pride. “Our mate is amazing! She is special!”

“Holy shit! | just healed you!” She smiled in dismay. Her eyes held a sparkle of excitement at her newfound ability. She was adorable, | could watch her like that all day.

“Selene’s beloved avatar has finally awoken.” | turn my head to see my father standing tall in the clearing, surrounded by rotting rogue corpses. | scowled at him, remembering what he had the nerve to say to me at the hospital. Whispers of commotion from warriors and remaining pack members breezed around us.

“She is Selene’s avatar? What a beauty!” “Our Moon Goddess blessed us with her grace and protection!” “A goddess in her own right...she holds more power than many packs combined!”

“Holy crap, Little Bit...” Kiya turned to face her friends. Sapphire’s smile widened, “So, this was hiding in you all this time? | knew you were a powerhouse, but this...”

“I'm still so confused...” Kiya whispered, examining her hands again like she was expecting something to sprout out. “How do you feel?” | asked her in a whisper. “...Powerful.”

Her friends got on one knee in front of her, their gazes full of wonder and happiness. My warriors followed suit; their heads bowed to Kiya. Pack members that were hiding inside the pack house filed out of the house to observe what took place. One look at Kiya and they knew, they dropped to one knee and bowed their heads in respect. The respect that always should have been hers.

“The avatar of our beloved matron goddess in our presence! This is a sign of good things to come for those who bear witness to her true glory.” My father gushed with a smile in his voice. “And she is the fated mate to your Alpha. Our newest Luna is as beautiful as she is fearsome! She deserves nothing less than our respect!”

There was something in his voice that | didn’t like, especially when he regarded Kiya as my Luna. Yes, she was my mate and rightful Luna, but she doesn’t want to be. It was her choice to accept the position and my father was pushing it onto her in front of everyone. The pack members all praised Kiya as their new Luna, | felt her twitch slightly beside me with discomfort.

Chapter — The Awakening

How much do | know about our Moon Goddess’ avatars? Not much. | admit, | slacked heavily with my historical lessons, but what | did know was that her avatar, the More

White wolf, holds incredible: powerful than all the Alphas combined because she was directly created from Selene’s own body. The wolf's power was Selene’s power. They symbolize good luck, prosperity, wealth, and unimaginable strength.

| didn’t deserve Kiya. How was | destined to be the mate of the legendary white wolf, given my past actions? Kiya, my love, she deserves better.

Better than me.

| dropped to one knee, taking her hand into mine. | placed a soft kiss on her palm, her skin war against my lips. My eyes found hers once again, relaying a silent message of loyalty and protection..

I'd give my life for her.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” She shouted, her head darting all around the territory. “This is what we’re NOT going to do! I’m not royalty and would never be royalty, so don’t treat me like I’m someone important. Dvol—!”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

| stood, furious at her self-depreciation. “You are important! You are special. Kiya, and our goddess clearly believes so too.”

“Don’t put me on a higher pedestal, Neron.” She growled, jerking her hand away. “I don’t want special treatment from you or anyone!” Her head jerked to her friends. “As for you four, treat me any different, and 1 will kick all of your asses!”

All four shot to their feet, dusting off their knees. Kiya sighed, running her fingers through her clean, white curls. “Jackie, Abigail is in the hospital. Orion took her there when-

Beta Jacqueline shot off the battlegrounds in a blur, taking huge strides toward the hospital. Her friends trailed behind her. Kiya wasted no time running after her group, her hair Bailing behind her in the wind.

“Son.” My father came up to me, his tall stature towering over mine. “Remember what | said. It’s your time to claim her as your mate.”

“Now isn’t the time, Dad!” Turning to the pack, | ordered the corpses to be burned and the pack members to help the wounded. | took off after Kiya.

My Moon had finally awakened.

The worthless cur | brought back did its job. Yet, it failed to capture her before her awakening. But that was no problem, Zain Prince was merely a pawn in my game. A distraction and a portal, a portal to bring the girl to me. Did he expect to have his chance for petty revenge” Hal!

He thought small. | think grander. Once My Moon is in my arms, I'll execute my plan. The Prince family—no, this world would pay for what they've done to me and my people. It’s about time someone cut those filthy mutts down a peg. All | have to do is capture their beloved avatar.

Chapter 68-The Awakening And she will be mine. Kiya

The power that surged through me was incredible. It was like | was being bathed in vibrant warm waves rolling over my skin. It felt energizing. As much as | want to focus on this insane, sudden, yet amazing development, | couldn’t. Not when Abigail’s hurt.

My friends and | surrounded Abigail's hospital bed, unsure on what to do. Slumped in a chair, Jacqueline’s pained expression broke my heart. She looked absolutely defeated. | could her eyes watering with tears as she stared at Abigail’s peaceful face in complete silence. Abigail was lying unconscious with heavy bandages over her stomach. Her wound was so deep that she had to be sedated. It hurt to see my best friend so... vulnerable.

| had to do something.

| thought back to the battlefield when | healed Neron’s chest wound. If | healed Neron back there, | could heal Abigail too, fight? The only thing was, | didn’t know how | did it before. Maybe all | had to do was touch her?

“Jackie, I’m e

going to try something.” | jumped. My layered voice scared the shit out of me. It was like both Artemis and | were speaking at once. Jackie, for a moment, got defensive over Abigail, her green eyes glazing black. “I won’t hurt her. | promise.”

Jackie’s eyes softened, registering what I’ve said. Eyes shifting back to emerald green, she leaned back in her chair in silence, stifling the sobs threatening to escape from her throat. Sucking in a deep, shaky breath, | gently pressed my palm on the gauze, careful to not pop any potential stitches underneath.

What do | do now? Or even say? | was expecting a bright laser show as | had seen in movies, but nothing happens. My mind raced back to the battlefield, trying to recall how | healed Neron. What was happening at that moment? What was | thinking about? What was | feeling?

Concern, and the desire to take his pain away. That was all | remembered.

And it happened.

White light shined from underneath the bandages, illuminating every fiber of the cotton. We all watch qayith, bated athasthehdht glittered béfdile isappearing. Abigail groaned softly, opening her coffee brown eyes. The first person she saw was Jacqueline with tears swimming down her face. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!

“I'm figuring this thing out too.” | chortled, holding her hand. “I healed you...| think. It’s the second time this happened today.” “How did this happen? You look so...ethereal.”

“| think it came from-“Without warning, | became lightheaded. My world went hazy. All the energy was draining from my muscles quickly. My legs gave out, | expected to hit the hard hospital floor, but | didn’t.

“Don't worry, | got you.”

I'm so tired...

Before | blacked out, | felt my protector, his sparks, his warmth...the person that was slowly changing into my safe place. Neron.

Neron

“Don't worry, she fainted,” | reassured her friends. | adjusted Kiya’s body in my arms. Her white hair faded back to its natural beautiful black, and any inkling of her tattoo markings disappeared beneath her skin. She must be exhausted from exerting so much power.

Her scent changed. It’s much sweeter than before, tempting me to kiss her as she slept. Goddess, | think I’ve fallen deeper in love with her.

“You won't do anything to her, right?” Darien asks, eyeing me suspiciously. | grunted, offended he thought | would do such a thing. Kiya was more precious to me than diamonds, and I'll do nothing to break her trust.

“On my honor, | won't. I'll take her to her room and then | need to assess the damage and loss from today’s ambush.” | held Kiya against my chest, careful not to disturb her. Each breath she took was light as a feather, tickling my bare chest.

While leaving the hospital, | spotted my father again, eyeing me with firmness. Regardless of what he says, | refuse to put Kiya’s trust at risk. Today, | witnessed the unadulterated power my father alluded to me.

All this time, she was Selene’s avatar. | should have known the moment | saw her shift into a white wolf. | didn’t know Kiya held tis alah power Witkin her body. But now, with her identity exposed to the pack, there was no telling what would happen from here on out. She would be hunted for her power as history states. She'll be in more danger, and | couldn't let that happen. The content is on ! Read the latest chapter there!

| would die before | let anyone touch her. | know | don’t deserve her, but | was still hopeful for the day | am worthy enough for her to allow me to call her mine. My woman. My mate. My heart. Until then, | will be her protector.

Whoever dares to try and bring any harm to her, will die by my hand.

| swear it.
