The goddess makes her choice

POV: Beta Jack's mate, Patricia.

I heard our Alpha cry once more, I'm almost to him. The Moon shines on my pure white coat. I fall to the ground whimpering in pain. As the darkness takes me I hear our Luna call someone to get me. She dashes into the tall grass as my eyes flow with tears slowly closing. I've heard the stories, I know my dear Jack is gone...

POV: Luna of pack Mooncall, Claire Mooncall.

I feel the pain of my mate, I'm scared. But I steel my will and rush to my him. I hope with all of my soul my mate will still be okay once I arrive.. just a bit further! I pounce through the grass and I see blood. So much blood. It's everywhere. I see my mate and run to him. He is unharmed and breathing. Rob must of used too much magic. Looking around I see Jack. To be more accurate what is left of Jack, His hips and legs are the only remains, other than a pile of ash. I let out a long and very loud howl morning our Beta. The pack arrives moments later.

"If only we arrived sooner my Luna."

One of our best warriors Raven says to me.

"No Raven, do not speak in such ways. I can only hope more of us awaken in the following years. So, we can be of more help to our Alpha."

"Yes Luna, we will work hard!"

I call a few trusted warriors to run patrol.

"Raven shift so we can take the Alpha inside, I must be sure Rob is okay and preform the moon healing ritual."

POV: Alpha of pack Mooncall, Robert Mooncall.

I'm trapped in darkness for what feels like eterenty. I can't feel my body. I wonder if I'm dead.

"Not child you are not dead you have much to do."

"What the heck.. what was that? I must be dreaming."

"My child your spirt is strong. You have been given part of my power to protect all of my kin, but I fear it's not enough. A war will come and your mates will be our saviors. You must not forget what I say today. Protect them both, keep the balance, for they will have the power to save our kind in time."

I'm so confused, all wolves are given one mate. How could I have two? I start to hear faint chanting. I can feel my body again. So I'm not dead? I will myself to open my eyes. It didn't work. I try again and again. I'm still stuck. Suddenly I feel a pure burst of energy.

"GRRR"

The energy is so strong. Stronger than I've ever felt before. I finally open my eyes and see my mate looking at me with fear in her eyes.

"I'm okay don't be scared."

My mate takes a step back. It was only then that I realized My whole body is covered in an icy fog. I quickly close my eyes again and take a deep breath. My powers had grown and I had to focus to make then submit. That was the first time I ever had to work hard to keep my powers in check, but I don't think it will be the last. I feel my mate embrace me, I know I have succeded. I open my eyes, hugging her back I inhale her scent and feel at peace.

"I'm sorry I scared you my love, all is well now. My powers had grown and I hadn't realized."

"Its okay Rob, I was just scared that the loss had taken you over. I'm sorry I didn't realize or consider that you may have awakened more of the moon goddesses powers."

"About that you will never believe who I just talked with."

My mate leaves my arms to look at me in confusion. Before I can reply to Claire, I suddenly feel a sadness well in my chest. I take a breath and look at my mate. She's not sad... why am I feeling this rush of sadness that's not my own.

"Rob are you okay?"

She catches a tear that fell from my eyes. I didn't even realize I was crying. Then I rember what the moon goddess said... she told me to protect them both. Then I suddenly smell something that I haven't smelled in many moons. The smell of my unclaimed mate. It's then that I realize. I must have been given a second mate by the moon goddess, but who?

She's close enough for me to smell her...what will Claire say. If I deny my mate it will most likely kill us all. I'm in so much trouble.
