Chapter 6

Matilda's POV

"You are my mate Mary."

I didn't want him to say that. How can this be possible. How will I bring the two together when clearly, they hate each other.

"I know that," I said and looked at the teacher.

"How do you know?" He asked and I looked around. The class was listening to our conversation. I took a paper and wrote; tell the teacher we wanna go outside. I slipped it towards him and he read it before raising his hand.

"Yes Andrew?" The teacher asked and the class turned to us.

"I wanna go out," he said and the teacher looked at me then him.

"Very well then," she said and Andrew got up before grabbing my history book and shoving it in his bag. He grabbed my elbow and pulled me outside. He let go of my elbow and crossed his hands over his chest.

"He is my mate too!" I yelled and he hit the locker behind him.

"Bullshit!" He yelled and I took a step backwards.

"Yes he is. Diana and Mani said Serene wanted..." i stopped talking and looked at him slowly.

"Who are they?" He asked and I took a step backwards again. He took steps towards me so I took equal steps backwards. My back hit the lockers and he placed his arms on both sides, trapping me between him and the locker.

"The goddesses," I said and he nodded his head.

"How would they tell you that?" He asked and I looked around. He sighed and I saw the colour of his eyes darkening.

"In my dreams," I said and he shook his head. It wasn't entirely a lie cause I see them sometimes in my dreams.

"Serene is the Goddess of wolves. Why would she..." i cut him off.

"You're a Wolf and so is he," I said and he nodded.

"That's understood," he said and started pacing.

"I want you to reject him," he said and I scoffed crossing my arms over my chest.

"Why would I reject him and not you?" I asked cheekily and he huffed.

"Would you though?" He asked and I looked away. He knew I had no strength to do so.

"Yes I would," I said and he scoffed.

"I dare you to," he said and I looked in his eyes. He meant every word he said.

"Fine. I Matilda Marilyn José reject you alpha Andrew..." he cut me off with his lips on mine. I tried to push him away but he grabbed my hands and pinned them behind me.

"Don't," he said softly and I nodded before leaning my forehead on his.

"What's going on here?" Alex's voice came about and I pushed Andrew away before turning to him.

"Why are you here?" Andrew asked and I looked at the amazing floor. Now that I'm staring at it, it's quite neat.

"I teach here. Why aren't you in your class? You want my mate you fail?" Alex growled and I took a step backwards.

"She is my mate too!" Andrew growled back and I tried sneaking away without them seeing but no luck.

"Then show her that she gotta be in her classes dammit!" Alex growled and I started thinking about what I could do in this situation. The boys started yelling at each other back and forth.

"Guys?" I asked softly but they didn't hear me due to their shouting. I swear you'd say they were girls. I started screaming and holding my stomach.

"Lynn. Are you okay?" Alex asked and came towards me.

"Mary? Talk to me," Andrew also said and I shook my head.

"This is because of you," Alex said pointing at Alex.

"How can it be my fault when you were the one to break her..." i screamed again cutting Andrew short. Alex carried me and walked with me to the dance studio. Andrew was following us closely behind. Once we arrived in Alex's office, I was placed on the table as they started bombarding me with questions.

"Where does it hurt?" Alex asked and I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"What can we get you?" Andrew asked and I sighed before getting off the table.

"You can get me peace," I said and they looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Andrew asked and I sighed before walking to the chair and seating on it. Alex was smirking looking at me.

"You too need to get along," I said and they looked at each other before they bust out laughing.

"Me and him?" Andrew asked and I nodded.

"No ways," Alex said still laughing. Are these dudes being serious.

"So the two of you have a glutton for punishment?" I asked and they stopped laughing.

"What would be the punishment?" Alex asked and I smiled before I got up from the chair and yanked my bag from Andrew.

"Are you gonna get along or nah?" I asked and looked between them. Alex rolled his eyes while Andrew scoffed.

"We are not doing shit together," Andrew said and Alex nodded his head. Oh?

"Are you guys sure?" I asked and they nodded.

"One hundred percent," Alex said and I shrugged before leaving the studio. Silent treatment will do.

I walked to the principal's office before knocking. I didn't hear an answer so I knocked again. I heard a faint come in so I walked in.

"Matilda. What a pleasant gift," he said and I smiled before sitting down.

"Can I please head home?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow.

"Two alpha mates. Hehehe. Enemies. They are driving you crazy already?" He asked sled and my jaw dropped.

"I'm sorry sir but that's not the..." he cut me off.

"It is the discussion. Don't fall for Alex. He is not the right man for you," he said and I cocked an eyebrow.

"And Andrew is?" I asked and he chuckled before shaking his head.

"None of them are. Why don't you ask them why they are in war?" He asked and I looked at him before I looked at the clock on the wall. It read 09:42

"Can I please go home sir?" I asked again and he nodded before scribbling something down for me. He handed the paper to me, I took it and walked out of the office. I walked to the cliff and decided to meditate. Hopefully it will be eight hours. I can't wait to practice telekinesis.

"Nyx!" I heard someone yell. I turned around and was thrown to the ground with a heavily body on top of me.

"Can I breathe?" I asked and the lady chuckled before getting off of me and helping me up.

"It has been so long. I haven't seen you ever since you died," she said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know who did it?" I asked and she nodded.

"It was the witches. I knew one of them was called... yeah! Adrazelle," she said and my eyes went wide. Granny had said her name once or twice.

"How many were there?" I asked and she looked at the skies as if to remember them all.

"It was around fifty. They travel in groups. All the witches are like that, if one witch knows what you are then..." she trailed off.

"Then what?" I asked impatiently and she sighed looking back at me.

"If she doesn't tell them she found an Earthbender then she is in grave danger. If they find you on their own then, they will kill you and your entire family. Everyone you have ever loved in the human world," she said and I sat on the nearest bench.

"You mean, Nana is in trouble?" I asked and she nodded and held my hands.

"Your human godmother? Yes she is. She doesn't know it yet but three days from now, danger will follow you guys everywhere," she said and my eyes went wide.

"What's gonna happen in three d..." I couldn't finish that as my thought disturbed me. I have cause them a lot of trouble already.

"Don't panic. They will just ask what you are, they can't smell an Earthbender. Your hair is not light blue or green anymore. It's navy blue and that is a common hair colour in human world. They won't suspect a thing but if they come with... then you'll be in trouble," she said and I sighed holding her hand.

"If they come with who?" I asked and she nodded.

"Their God. Which is uncommon but... I don't think  they'll come with him. He hates humans so he won't come," she said and I nodded.

"You will protect me. Right?" I asked and she scoffed.

"I'm just a goddess of poisons, how will that help?" She asked and I pulled her in for a hug. She is my aunt after all.

"I will be fine right?" I asked and she nodded.

"Always," she said and I smiled then kissed her cheek

"Can anyone tell the future here? I mean, gods and goddesses?" I asked and she nodded.

"I can take you to one of them," she said and I nodded. We started to walk out of the garden towards the back gate. She took something like a stick on the corner and we walked to the God or is it the Goddess, I don't know.

"How far is it," I asked and she sighed and looked at me knowingly.

"Not far. A few minutes away," she said and I nodded as we started walking again. When we stopped my jaw was dropped to the floor. The house was huge and it looked like a castle too but it was smaller than the one I went to before. We walked inside and the guards nodded their heads before opening the doors. It was much darker in here. Stars were everywhere.

"Achie!" Someone yelled and I watched as a beautiful female hugged and fell with Achlys on the floor.

"Selene get off!" Achlys yelled and I giggled. Selene rolled her eyes and stood up. She looked quite beautiful if you asked me. She looked like Serene. Her white hair shining under all these stars.

"Don't be rude," she said and helped Achlys up. I giggled again when Achlys jumped on her, sending them both to the floor again.

"I'm not rude," Achlys whined and got up. They helped each other up again and started gossiping I think.

"And who is this?" Selene asked and I felt small under her stare. She had light blue eyes.

"I am..." I started but Achlys cut me off.

"Take a guess!" She yelled and I covered my ears when she let out a girlie scream. Damn she can be so loud.

"Her name is Take A Guess?" Selene asked and I sighed while Achlys rolled her eyes.

"No dummy. You should take a guess," she said and I looked at Selene. It looked like me and her were having a staring contest.

"Mom!" A male voice said and I turned to it. It was a boy that looked a little older than me. He had the same features as Selene so I'm guessing it is her son.

"Nyx?" He asked and I gave a confused face.

"Hi?" I'm not sure what I should say when a God is greeting me.

"Nyx! You're here!" He yelled and picked me up then started spinning with me in his hands. Normally I would go on about giggling but this guy has put his hands on me.

"Put me down," I ordered and he obeyed. I took two huge steps backwards away from him.

"Son..." Selene started but got cut off by her son.

"Nyx. You don't remember me?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Who are you?" I asked and he sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"I told them it was a bad idea," he muttered under his breath. "My name is Heracles."

"Okay," I looked at Achlys and she looked at Selene. Heracles was smiling at me and it's creepy.

"How are you?" He asked and I turned to him with a small smile.

"I'm super," I said and turned to Achlys. She shrugged and winked.

"Do you wanna see our old pictures?" He asked and I shrugged. I was gonna say no but he pulled me to what I think it's a bedroom.

"Whose room is this?" I asked and he chuckled before heading to the drawers.

"Mine," he said smiling and I nodded. He pulled out a huge book and I stared at his muscles as they carried the book. The ole girlie me would see that as a sexy move but now I have two mates that are enemies and I'm trying to figure out how to get them close together.

"Here," he pulled me to the table and started opening the huge book. The first photo was of me, half naked. He tried to move it but it couldn't.

"Is that me?" I asked but he didn't reply as he tried to move the picture. Once he was successful he turned to me.

"Sorry about that," he said and I nodded as he turned to the next picture. It was me and some girl who had her back on me. I was facing the darkness while she was facing the light.

"Who is that and why am I facing the dark part?" I asked and he smiled looking at the picture dreamily.

"That is our... my friend. Hemera," he said and I nodded.

"Why is she facing the light while I'm facing the opposite?" I asked and he chucked before answering me.

"She is the goddess of day while you are the goddess of night," he said and I nodded.

"Understandable," I said and he smiled before turning the picture. It was a picture of me and Achlys. We were eating ice cream or whatever that is. My nose was covered in the white substance and so was Achlys'. Heracles turned the page and now I was met with me and Diana along with Mani. I was in the middle, winking at the camera while Mani was making a crazy face, Diana was looking evily at the camera.

"You and your family are the most respected people in the entire world," he said and I scoffed.

"Why?" I asked and he sighed before closing the book and walking me out of the room.

"You see this?" He asked showing me a huge portrait of me and Serene.

"Yeah?" I asked looking into my eyes. My eyes were light green colour with light blue hair almost white like Selene's hair.

"You see that?" He asked pointing at the red substance on what looked like a rug.

"The red thing?" I asked and he nodded before taking my hand and making me trace it. It felt sticky but it was in the portrait.

"It's blood," he said and I stiffened before pulling my hand out of his. I looked at my fingers and they were covered with the red thing.

"Why would they use blood in my photo?" I asked and he chuckled.

"You were the first one to challenge some of the male gods and hurt or injured them in the process. You even killed a Wolf years ago," he said and I turned to him. Before I could ask him a question, our names were called. We ran to tell voices and found Achlys and Selene.

"So you said you wanted to know your future right?" Selene asked and I looked at Achlys.

"Can I see my past?" I asked and she nodded. She held my hands and led me to the small couch.

"Can you just relax?" She asked and I nodded before letting myself lose.

"Close your eyes," she said and I shut my eyes right at that time. I saw myself from when I was a baby. I was so cute. Diana was smiling lovingly at me and so was Mani. The other gods were surrounding us as they started gifting me. The hugest bulkier man gave me more and more powers. They were around thirty. Serene also gave me about five powers before I was then granted the gift of life by who I'd guess it's Selene. Once the gods and goddesses were done, the man with horns walked in. Behind him was the one with white clothes and a cloak covering his face. The one with horns cursed me with earthbending. The one with white cloak blessed me with bright life.

I was then taken to the day of war with wolves. I looked around fourteen then. There were bunch of wolves running after me so I took the shortcut but got followed my another one that looked older. Everything happened fast and all I could see next was my hand in the man's chest before ripping his heart out. I heard a voice yelling 'no', I turned to the voice to find Alex standing there. He ran to his father and started sobbing harder. He was trying to wake his father up but he couldn't get up. I took the heart and stomped on it.

I gasped as I opened my eyes. Everyone was staring at me. Diana started sobbing on Mani's chest. Selene placed her hand on my forehead and I drifted to nothingness again.

I opened my eyes and it was getting late. I took my phone out to look at the time. It was 18:12. I got up and walked back home. All the boys were there, including Alex. How would I face him now that I know I killed his father.

"Hey," he said once he saw me. He pulled me for a hug but I didn't hug back. He pulled away and looked at my face, probably searching for injuries.

"Mary!" Andrew yelled before running towards me. He hugged me too but I was still not moving. The other boys walked towards us and circled us.

"Where were you?" George asked and I looked away.

"Talk to me," Alex said before holding my hands and kissing them. He was on the edge of tears and so was I.

"I'm sorry."
