chapter seventeen: the visit of the moon goddess

Angel/Alira's POV

I open my eyes and see the moon goddess standing in front of me. We're both standing in a grass field. It's night time and the stars shine.

Is this a dream? It must be... "Hello Alira, or Angel because you're still not used to hearing that name" She says. I just stand there not knowing what to do.

Is thé moon goddess standing right in front of me right now? It must be a dream. "It's not a dream, well it is but I came to visit you" She says as if she read my mind.

"I came to answer your question" She explains further. Her smile turns into a saddened face expression. "I also came to warn you" She says with a worried undertone.

"The reason why you share the same mates is because we don't know which one of you is going to survive" She says. "What do you mean?" I ask her worried.

"There's something bad going to happen and the change is big many of you won't survive. Jace was actually supposed to be your mate. Your sisters have one too, for example Mia and Jaxon" She says.

"The reason why you share your mates with each other is because we don't know how many of you will survive and a pack needs a Luna and Alpha. I did it for the sake of your pack but also for all of you. Wolves start to loose their mind when they loose their mate. And what if only one of the guys survives but he isn't your mate, that would cause problems too. Both of you would get suicidal thoughts. But if you're mated to all of them you would want to stay alive for just one of them. But I also had to make your sisters mated to them too because, I don't know if you will survive too" She says.

I start to get worried. So one of us or more will die? "But it is not certain who will die, or even if any of you dies. Hopefully all of you will survive. Just be careful and very cautious. From now on every choise you make matters and will change your future" She finishes.

I start to freak out. I don't want any of them to die! A little smile starts to appear on her face. "But don't worry too much about it my child, for now you have something else to worry about" She says and starts to fade away.

"To worry about what? What do you mean?!" I yell after her but I don't get a response. The dream starts to disappear and all I see is black. "Enjoy while you still can" I hear her voice say before I open my eyes.

I start to breath heavy. What is going to happen? Why are we going to die? Or better question, who of us will die? Then I feel a slight pain in my stomach and realize what she meant with something else I have to worry about now.

"OW!" I yell. That shit hurts. My whole body is suddenly super hot. I start to sweat and breath heavy. Oh no.. I'm in heat.

"Alira? I heard you scream, is something wrong?" Levi the beta of Jace says while walking inside the room. "Help me" I say. He looks at me with his eyes wide. "I will ask the Alphas for help" He says.

His eyes gets blurry which means he is mindlinking them. He breaths in and stops. His normal eye color doesn't come back, instead his eyes are pitch black. He gulps.

He takes a few steps closer. He looks at me with a sorry face expression. I just stare back at him. Why is he looking sorry?

"I'm sorry but I don't know if I can keep myself in" He says. When a female is in heat, all the males near her will react to it. He is obviously trying to keep himself in. He wants to walk away but stops when I start screaming.

"AAAAAH" I scream out of pain. I want one of my mates right now to stop the pain. Especially Jace which is apparently my original mate. "Please let the pain stop" I say and cry.

Suddenly the pain disappears. I open my eyes and see Levi. He is touching my hand. "I can help with the pain until one of your mates arrives" He suggests. It kind of feels wrong but the pain is too much.

He starts to stroke my arm. His eyes gets darker and suddenly he pushes his lips on mine.

Jace's POV

"Alphas! Something is wrong with Alira! One of you come as quick as possible!" Levi says through the mindlink.

"What's wrong?!" Me and one of my brothers say at the same time through the mindlink. He is quiet for a second. "She's in heat" He says and breaks the mindlink.

I shift to my wolf form and start to run as fast as I can. Finally! Suddenly I trip and fall to the ground. I felt a slight pain in my heart I think.

Then I realize something. That fucker.. I get up again and run even faster. Levi is alone with my mate while she's in heat. I don't want to believe that my best friend would touch my mate but the pain proved it all. That wasn't a normal kind of pain.

Luckily I wasn't that far away from home so I'm already here. I shift back in my human form and storm inside the house. I don't care that I'm naked right now, I have to get to my mate.

I practically run upstairs. I can smell her scent super strongly coming from my room. I slam the door open. I heard the wood break but I don't care.

I see Angel laying down on my bed and Levi sitting next to her on the ground. He is touching her arm. He looks at me with a sorry face expression.

I loose it when I see him and punch him in the face. His head hit the night stand next to my bed. He lies down on the ground and wines in pain. He obviously didn't try to stop me.
