Soleil 

My words tumbled out, my heart still erratic as my thoughts swirl. I had to do this. Why? Why? Because this one evil person is disrupting a peaceful life. Threatening to take everything I've worked for away from me. I can't let her do that. 

If I could be strong, strong enough for everyone to finally get my wish with Damira, then fine. I'll work my ass off. Show Hecate that she can't do everything she wants. But I also couldn't leave her. I can't leave Damira here, wondering every second if she's okay. I don't care that right now I can't touch her, all I care about is feeling her through our bond and physically seeing that she is alright.

The hairs at the back of my head twitched as the cooler wind brushed against my skin. Winter is coming with a storm. I turn to the two powerful women, eyes narrowed. Mind made up. 

"I'll go," I say, and before they get a word in, I pause them. "But! My mate will be coming with me. I don't care what you say, I will not be leaving my mates side for whatever reason." I could hear Damiras heart thump, eyeing me with such relief. I give her a small smile.

"I wasn't even going to suggest your wolf mate stay here," Dai replies, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Your bond would never allow you two to be away for so long. It'll kill you." Hope and reassurance bloomed through the bond, Damira and I sharing equal grins. 

"Good. When do we leave?" Damira asks, coming to stand beside me however wary of how much touching she can do. I give her a nod in thanks, glad she's still beside me but understanding my feelings. 

Dia hums, eyeing the dark clouds coming over the sea, the salty air entwined with fresh rain tickled our noses. The waves were ready to crash against the island, Hecate's anger most likely the cause. 

"Tomorrow morn, just as the sun awakens for its new day. Be ready. Don't eat anything, just a warning." With  that, Dia makes a dramatic exit with the swish of her glowing dress and slams the door. 

Once her presence is lifted from the room, my shoulders sag in relief, my eyes taking a break from her dominating light. The ache between my brows telling me I've pushed myself by holding in their very essence. Especially one such as Dia's. The High Queen of Faery. Honestly, never knew there was such a thing. Neverminded, actually, erase everything I've just said because a few months back, I said werewolves never existed. Now Gods actually exist and Faeries. 

I wonder if everything else we thought was a myth, is actually not? I hum in thought, now noticing the amused glances I was receiving from Selene and Damira. Whoops, dozed of a bit there. I grin, giving them a peace sign, however my eyes must of shown my exhaustion as Damira huffed. 

"Why don't you lie down and I'll get us some waffles," she suggests but the thought of lying down makes me cringe. Didn't I do enough of  that already? I shake my head, curling my arms around my self, watching the forest weave with the wind, the sea looking all menacing beyond. I wouldn't want to fish in that sea. 

My eyes caught onto the golden shimmery dome wrapped around the pack and its village. I could now see the magic woven inside the golden dome, hissing and humming with life. I wasn't able to see them when I was... yeah. But now, magic seems so alive when I see it. Almost taste it. "Soleil, baby? Your spacing out again." Damira comments, coming to my side. I laugh awkwardly, muttering an apology. "Lets get some food in you, yeah?" her voice is filled with worry, my heart clenching at that. She shouldn't have to worry about me. 

"Okay," I mutter softly, following Damira and Selene out the room. The former giving me shivers down the spine as her magic makes it way up my skin. Crawling and making its self known as who holds its power. 

I bite my lip to keep my whimper in, glaring heatedly towards the goddess. Why can't she keep her own magic to herself. Selene sensing my glare cringes, sending me a sad smile. "I'm so very sorry, Soleil. Its the Goddess half of you sensing another Goddess near you. It'll mellow out soon, I promise." I give her a half nod, eyeing her. 

"So I'm a Goddess now?" I ask. Selene hums, having to think about her answer. 

"I guess you can say that, but only half. Your still a werewolf, Soleil just you have some special abilities blessed to you by the blade. Your blood flows with magic now." 

"Will I ever hear Neoma again?" the thought stings, my other half dormant. It's weird feeling empty now, without her. Selene smiles, patting my hair. 

"Of course. The magic must of taken a bit of your wolfs energy as it blessed your blood." Damira turns her head over her shoulder, descending the stairs. 

"Your never going to be normal, Soleil. First a half human half wolf, now your half god and half wolf," she jokes, grinning widely. I laugh, poking my tongue out at her childishly. 

"Yet, your not normal either miss mood swings who sleeps with teddy bears." Selene giggles, eyeing Damira with amusement. 

"You still sleep with teddy bears, Damira? I had always thought you've grown out of that." Damira flushes a violent red, grumbling about getting food and leaving us behind. We laugh behind her, watching as she hurries towards the kitchen. 

My mate is so adorable. "You don't have to worry so much, Soleil. You and your mate will see to your peace. I promise." Selene cuts in, jabbing away the humor. I sigh, leaning on the railing. Its cold iron relaxing my heated skin. 

"At the moment, with all this crazy I've realized something," I pause, watching Damira laugh with a few older pack members. "I've finally found love. After staying with Ethan for so long, my heart never really found its soul mate. And now, I have. And I don't want to ever loose that. Loose Damira." 

"Good. And you will have a good future, you know it yourself if you'd admit what you saw, Soleil." Selene takes the stairs, her eyes watching Damira too. "Just follow your heart, and you'll see." 

The Moon Goddess moves down the stairs with grace, leaving me with my thoughts. 

"But, what happens if the future changes..." 

Ta da!! What did ya'll think? Kind of cute that Soleil has admitted to being in love with Damira! About bloody time! 

Please tell me your thoughts! I wanna know what you all thought. Honestly, I wasn't going to put this twist in. But when I re-read back, there wasn't anything on HOW the heck I was going to get rid of this evil character (Hecate) without making it boring. You know, just stabbing them or ripping their head off, or you know she just gives up sounds really really boring and simple to me. So, that's where Soleil gets a blessing. 

Just think about the cute aborable and special pups she'll have! The pack will be the strongest yet!

Pleaseeee give me your feedback! I don't want this book to be a total bomb. 

Until next time ~
