Meeting the parents ( part 1)

Rose's pov.

So much happened yesterday from studying to shopping to finding out the rest of Archer and Blakes family have returned. They did say that they would have more time to spend with me so that's a good thing. I'm starting to understand a bit more about the way things work in this world. The titles are a bit different but I do understand them now and packs are basically town's or city's. There are kings but they are called Alpha kings and the women are called Lunas. It's all so much and now I have to go do this coming of age ceremony to receive blessings from any of the God's and Goddesses who wish to support my growth. It turns out that there are loads of God's of different ranks of age and power far cry from what we were taught at school from what I remember. It is mind blowing I never believed in god before I met her. How could I after living as a slave in chains for it and his men but I get it now that world has no gods they are forbidden from interfering with that world. I don't know how to feel about that though to be honest, but I guess there will be evil in all worlds at least I know what to expect. I wish I could have some time to myself to think about all of this. I'm not used to having people around me all of the time and now I have to stand up in front of the pack for this thing and they said I might have to talk to people after it. Like there parents I'm not looking forward to that what if they find out that they have slept in my room or the fact I know sleep in their wing.

" where nearly there now do you remember what you have to do" Archer asks.

I'm not that stupid all I have to do is walk up to a statue and touch the crystal in it's hands once the priest calls for me. My face must have betrayed me again because they started to laugh at me.

" sorry I was just checking" he chuckles

" now remember you don't have to talk to anyone only our family and the priests you must show them respect in front of the pack even we have to call them Alpha and Luna when any member of the pack are present" Blake tells me as we come up to the temple it reminds me of some of the churchs from my old world. The old gothic one's I loved so much as a child.

" okay let's get this started" Archer says as he pushes the doors open.

It is packet full of men all looking at me I know they told me that this would happen when a female has her ceremony all male's attend and females attend for the male's only the familys and the high ranks are not single males. I don't get why I think it might be something to do with finding a husband or wife. They don't want to tell me anything about it I tried to ask but they changed the topic but by the looks on some of there faces my feeling was right on the mark. Im to scared to move they're looking at me like they did.

" try to focus on the temple not the people we are right here no one will harm you we promise you" Archer whispers taking my hand it still amazes me how they do this they always seem to be able to calm me down.

I look forward to seeing the statue of the goddess so realistic behind her are more statues of men must be some of the other gods each holding up a crystal. They seem to be connected to each other and to more above their heads.

" we are gathered here today to celebrate the coming of age of Rose and witness her in receiving the blessings of the God's and Goddesses. Rose if you would like to come forward and receive your blessings" the priest calls out startling me.

I look at the guys they nod at me releasing my hand my nerves kick in the second he let's go making me shudder. He puts his hand on my shoulder and walks with me.

" you will need to let go before she touches it" the priest tells him he nods as he walks me it.

He releases me as I stand before the Goddess she's smiling down at me rasing my hand placing it on the crystal it glows brightly making me close my eyes.

" welcome Daughter please open your eyes" a beautiful soft voice says to me.

I open my eyes to see the goddess smiling at me with the God's standing at her sides. They are huge one with green hair and green eyes to her right. Next to him a red hair with orange eyes man he's nearly bouncing on the spot.

" we have waited so long to meet you we are your father's I'm Drakor and now that you have visited the temple we can talk when ever you want only two of us can come to the land so we made a promise us father's would wait for you to come to the temple to meet you so it has been killing us waiting for you when you're mother told us you met her in the lake we've been counting the days " says Drakor he moves forward and hugs me way too tight.

" leave her be Drakor she can't breathe and we still need to give her her gifts now that we are connected we can talk with her when ever she wants, sorry about him he's very loud and in your face but he means well we have been waiting to meet our first child for a long time now " say a blue haired god with a sad smile as he pulling him off me.

" let me as you know this is Drakor he is the god of Dragons and fire. I'm Morpheus the god of nature and elves. This is Delios God of the under world and Demons. Then there is Thane the god of light he is not a creator of a race but he gives all of the races a gift to some to be able to heal anyone " Morpheus tells me pointing each stepping out as he introduces them.

" wait Daughter did you just say your my parents your gods I'm human how is that even possible " I say stepping away from the crazy.

" yes and no we are not crazy. Your new your magic is only just starting to awaken we don't know how strong you will be or if you will reach the level of a Goddess each child of the God's grow differently with different gifts some never get any but you do have magic we can feel it" Thane tells me.

" I thought you said I was your first child so how do you know" I ask panicky.

" there are more God's and Goddesses than us 5 most don't come to this world anymore they have there own domains or worlds to take care of you may meet some of their creatures as time passes and you need to take some in as your mate's the stronger the better promise me you will " my mother begs me.

" mates what do you mean everyone keeps saying that but all I've been told is how to take one and why do I need them. I already have 6 guys looking after me they can't do that forever " I say my head spinning what the hell.

" I think this is a good time to give you your gifts mine is the knowledge of the world. This will help you understand and fit in better but keep most of it to yourself it can be dangerous " mother tells me she rests her head against mine as I feel a splitting pain in my mind as I feel my self starting to pass out.
