Three.

Alton woke up from a dream covered in mud. Confused, he looked around to see himself in the woods.

He came from the creak wood city of werewolves a few days awake from Celestial.

As a child he got a vision from the witch goddess and moon goddesses.

“Don’t fret child, we won’t harm you” they said as they approached him.

“Who are you?” he asked watching the beautiful women as they approached him.

“I’m the witch goddess” the one in fiery blue said.

“And I’m the mood goddess” the one in silver answered.

“Am I in trouble” his young mind wondered.

“No child, far from it. Have you heard of the prophecy?” the witch goddess asked.

“The one about the One True Alpha?” they both nodded.

“My parents told me about it”

“Very good, the Alpha’s Luna is going to need protection and we have chosen you to be a part of her warrior pack” the moon goddess said.

“Warriors? That’s cool” he smiled.

“It is, isn’t it” the witch goddess smiled at the child.

“Alton, you cannot tell anyone of this, not even your family. The future Luna might be in danger before you even get the chance to protect her” they warned before disappearing.

Since then, they had visited him giving him instructions. And with a sense of duty, he had learned that he was born to protect the future Luna and he was going to give him life for hers if he had to.

He rushed back rushed back home in wolf form.

He has had to balance his training with the goddesses and his normal life.

The warriors were all to be given powers according to the city they came from. And with Alton being from Creak-Wood, his power was the ability to control the ‘earth’.

He has had to learn how to move rocks, break large rocks to tiny pebbles and merge pebbles together to form a giant rock.

The visits become frequent as he got close to turning eighteen. He also felt a pull at something.

He started to get dreams of other people, three of them.

He looked at the old tree which had only a leaf on it and wondered what he was doing there.

“Hello?” he heard someone call out.

He freaked out and turned to find the voice, he wasn’t alone.

He walked a great distance but the tree didn’t move, it seemed as if it either moved with him or he didn’t move at all.

‘Maybe I should go sideways’ he thought.

He walked for about ten minutes before stopping at turning around.

The same thing happened so he gave up.

“Hello? Anyone there?” he heard again.

Aryanna of Aquafil woke up from a dream she has been having too.

The same way the moon goddess and witch goddess had appeared to Alton was the same they appeared to Aryanna, Chad and Hazel.

The only difference in the message was their training patterns.

Where Alton had to learn to control his ability to play with rocks and stones, Aryanna had to learn to control the flow of water out of thin air. They taught her how to draw water from the atmosphere no matter how dry it became.

Chad was from Blood moon city and his ability was to breathe out fire like a dragon, only he could also produce it any part of his body.

Hazel from Moon Air has the ability to control air. She could produce a large amount of breeze and could suck out the air out of an atmosphere specific to her liking.

With all these abilities, they were taught to understand that it was a part of their personality.

Each one in the dream stood around the tree as if in a circle but could not see each other or get close to each other.

That night they all slept and their dreams began.

This time they stood before the elder witch of their city and were given instructions to visit their Alpha’s office the next day.

This was a week before the ceremony The four Elder witches of their cities explained to the Alphas the task to which the youngsters had to the True Alpha and his mate.

When asked where they would be heading, they replied that they had no idea and would get further instructions.

Alton, Chad, Aryanna and Hazel left their homes leaving their families and set out to meet.

They had been given a location to stop at and wait for each other before continuing together.

Hazel was the first to arrive. She nervously waited till she heard footsteps getting closer to her location.

Her wolf stirred in her as she sniffed the air around her.

Mate!

She heard her wolf say as she came across her mate.

Alton stood mesmerized by the beautiful red head in front of him.

She blushed under his stir as he walked over to her.

“Hi” she waved.

“Hey beautiful, what’s your name?”

“Hazel of Moon Air and you are?“

“I’m Alton, from Creak-Wood, you’re so beautiful” he said and kissed her.

“Oh great” they heard someone complain.

“Who are you?” Alton asked curious as he held his mate.

“I’m Chad from Blood Moon City and you are?”

“I’m Alton from Creak-Wood and this is my mate Hazel from Moon Air”

“Oh cool, you two just met I guess”

“Yeah we just did”. Alton smiled at his mate.

“One more person and then we head out right” Hazel asked.

“Hello?” they heard.

“Over here” Alton called.

Chad froze in his spot sniffing the air. Alton knew that the voice that had sounded belonged to Chad’s mate.

Aryanna followed the scent that caught her attention and her eyes landed on Chad.

Mate!

They said at the same time.

Aryanna walked closer and as soon as he was close enough, Chad engulfed her in a hug.

“I’m so glad I found you” he mumbled.

“You accept me?” Aryanna asked.

She has had to watch her sister’s mate reject her at the mating ceremony.

“Why would I not accept you babe? I’ve waited for you for a long time, even though my birthday was a few days ago”

“What? No way mine was too” Alton said

“Mine too”

“Me too”

“okay I don’t know if this is weird or cool but seeing as we all met her today and we are all warriors to the Luna, I would say it’s cool” Alton said.

“Do you guys have any idea where we’re headed?” Chad asked.

“I think we’re supposed to wait until we get further instructions” Aryanna commented.

They all sat on a stone they could and continued their conversation.

“So what’s your super power?” Alton asked his mate Hazel.

“I control Air” she replied shyly.

“Mine is Earth” he said.

“I’m water” Aryanna noted.

“Mine’s Fire” Chad announced.

As they conversed they felt the ground shake and the goddesses appeared this time physically and not in a dream.

“Hello Children” they announced. The warriors stood then bowed they’re heads in submission.

“Rise, your journey is about to begin” the witch goddess announced.

“Yes, you are to head to Celestial, there you shall find the Alpha and His mate, his mate would feel the connection you have with her and will trust you. Be friends around her so as not to give away your identity. The Alpha will understand who you are once you tell him” the moon goddess said.

“Celestial is a few hours away from this location, if you travel in wolf form, you’ll get there sooner. I have witches who will welcome you upon your arrival” the witch goddess announced and they vanished.

“Well, you heard them, let’s go” Alton instructed.

He shifted into their wolves which were bigger than the regular wolf, even an Alpha and ran as fast as they could.

None stop they ran until the reached the barriers of Celestial where they found Thea and Aerlda waiting.

“Welcome young lads” Aerlda announced as they shifted into their human forms.

“HI there, we were....”

“You are the warriors sent by the goddesses, I know, follow me. The Alpha is waiting”

“Give them some clothes to change into” Thea announced to the witches standing by.

As the warriors changed, the glanced over at each other with the ‘now what’ look.

“This way please” Thea said guiding them.

When they arrived at the office, Thea knocked.

“Come in” they heard.

Taking a breath they followed Thea as she opened the door.

Their eyes spotted the True Alpha and they bowed in submission to him.

They could she the fiery aura round him that held great power.

“Welcome, please have a seat” Alpha Nigel gestured.

“Thank you, I’m Alton, this is my mate Hazel, that’s Chad and his mate Aryanna”

“You have had a long journey and I would say rest but we have to move fast” Alpha Nigel said. “This is my son Carson, I’m sure you know who he is, the Luna to which you’re to protect will be participating in the ceremony in the next two days, we need to make sure she’s safe”

“We understand and if it’s OK with you, we’d like to enroll in the same school, there won’t be need to show us who she is, we’ll know once we see her” Alton replied as the leader of the group.

“Very well, I’ll be keeping my distance for now and I trust you to keep her safe till the ceremony, I have a feel the cold bloods are watching closely and they have spies around” Carson said standing up to shake them.

The warriors were directed to their apartments where they could share with their mates. They were handed clothes to change into. They also had a light meal and headed for the school together.
