I stood in a room almost identical to the temple. The room was designed with marble and intricate golden designed lacing the floors and walls. There were glass beams going across the ceilings with chandeliers that had crystals and diamond coating it. This was stunning. I didn't really get a good look at it the first time, due to the shock of meeting the moon goddess of course.

"Hello my child." I jumped when mist formed in a big fluffy cloud in front of me and out walked the moon goddess.

"Um Hello." I spoke awkwardly.

"No need to be uncomfortable." She spoke placing a hand on my shoulder.

"So much pain and hardship have defined your life; it's been so tough for you sweetheart." I get she's supposedly our creator, but it was really freaking me out how she was referring to me as her descendant.

"You have grown into such a beautiful, young lady." She smiled. I felt my cheeks redden as a smile took over my face.

"Now time to discuss why I am really here." She smiled. "It is imperative that you and Lincoln complete the mating bond, you will need to be at full strength for your powers of fully develop. By completing it you will both reach your ultimate power."

"Ultimate power?" I Questioned. "Isn't that bad?" Every movie I've seen whenever something along the lines of ultimate power is mentioned that usually isn't good.

"Honey, did no one ever tell you about the mate bond?" She asked me. I knew the basics from my research as a kid but nothing about ultimate power was ever mentioned.

I just shook my head.

"Love is power. When you and Lincoln complete the mate bond you will both be at your strongest state, for your entire lives." She told me. The way she spoke sounded almost poetic, I was waiting to see doves flying around the room next.

"So, by completing the mate bond I will be able to control my powers?" I asked her.

"No, that's all on your own. But you will need to be strong enough to maintain control and protect your pack. Maybe even to endure the training I plan on putting you through. Now for control, it all starts with this." She said pointing to my head.

"If it's not clear up there, then you can forget about controlling anything. Even non magic related things." She told me.

"Meditation could help you, but if that all fails I have a ritual I could attempt on you, but I would like that to be our last option." She told me.

"I'd be willing to do anything to get a handle on this." I told her.

"Good, I will speak to you soon."

With that the whole scene washed away and I shot up in our bed.

————————————————————————

I looked over to see Lincoln rubbing his tired eyes before glancing up at me concerned. My neck was still a little sore from yesterday but nothing unbearable. When you get marked your scent changes in a way to alert other people that you are taken. No actual mark appears. However based off of my research when I was younger, that spot becomes super sensitive when your mate touches it but becomes painful when someone who isn't your mate intimately touches it.

"You okay?" He asked me.

"I just spoke with the moon goddess." I told him this definitely got his full attention.

"She told me a lot of uh stuff you know about completing the mate bond." I Said awkwardly scratching the back of my head.

I filled him in on the whole conversation I had with the moon goddess. About how I had to clear my head to be able to do really anything magically related with total control.

"I have an idea about the control part and it fits exactly what I've been wanting to do for awhile now. We are going to train together in combat." I started choking on my spit. I didn't want to physically train. More like mentally, from the couch or bench outside."

"You need to learn how to properly fight without losing control anyway so why not give it a go." He told me leaning over and pressing a quick kiss to my lips.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me.

That's when I realized that I wasn't in any pain. I began to unravel my bandages on my arm. Lincoln tried to get me to stop telling me it was going to get infected but when the bandages fell onto the blanket we both stared in shock. My arm was completely healed, not even a scar.

He leaned over and lifted up my shirt before carefully unraveling the bandages. There were no bruises on my stomach and the black veins were completely gone.

"How the hell?" He Questioned.

"The moon goddess must have done something." I whispered.

He got up and I headed to the bathroom.

I began brushing my teeth when I heard a noise, that sounded like someone peeing. I glanced over at Lincoln to see him peeing in the toilet. With me in here.

"Lincoln." I said but my mouth was full of toothpaste.

"Mhmm." He turned to me zipping up his zipper.

"I had to fucking pee." He exclaimed. Causing the both of us to burst out in laughter.

After a few minutes we both calmed down and I was finally able to breathe again after my fit of laughter.

"Get dressed we are going to go start training." He told me still trying to contain his chuckles as he walked into our bedroom.

I put on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts before following him outside.

We walked down to the training areas and he showed me all the equipment.

He then led me to the sparing circle.

"Now no magic. Just focus on fighting." He told me. He raised his arms and I kind of just walked around the circle not really sure what we were supposed to be doing. Out of no where he lunged forward raising a fist and panicked. By panicked I meant by throwing him a solid 6 feet in the air and away from me. He groaned slowly propping himself up on his elbows.

"What the hell? I thought we said no magic!" He yelled rubbing his behind.

"I'm sorry." I frowned walking over to him.

"You're mind is never going to be clear if you don't at least try."

He got up and walked towards me pulling me back to the circle.

"I don't want to fight you but believe me when I say I will get a pack warrior to take my place. Maybe, I'll go spar with Sarah while you sit here and fight a pack warrior. At least she would fight fair and put up a good fight." He spoke shrugging. Well that really hurt my heart but a fury also rose inside of me. Burning to be released but I knew I couldn't cave in.

"Maybe James was right when he said to put you back on those pills. I mean look at you, you just tried to kill your mate." I looked up at him in disbelief and with tears brimming my eyes.

"Pathetic." He spoke the demon in me wanted to be released so badly. I crouched down gripping at the dirt trying to contain my anger.

I felt myself slowly slip into a foreign feeling state. I almost felt like how I felt when I shifted, weird. None of the bone breaking, but the mental shift.

Lincoln's eyes widened when he looked at me.

"You want to fight, let's fight." But it wasn't my voice.

I launched myself at him and pinned him to the ground with an overwhelming force. He growled and tried to get me off but I held him there without much struggle. I heard Brent and Jake yelling my name but I couldn't regain control.

I tried so hard. I was fighting with my head.

"Let him go." I mentally spoke. My hands slowly released form his throat and he took that as his opportunity to push me off of him.

"Brielle? You there?" Asked Brent.

I groaned a pounding headache was forming in my head as I continued fighting this new form.

I performed a quick healing spell on myself and felt the headache begin to subside.

"What the fuck just happened?" Asked a shocked Jake.

"That was her demon side everyone." Lincoln spoke standing up and dusting off his pants.

I glared at him. He was saying really nasty things, they especially made my wolf furious, even my demon tried to hurt him.

"Baby, don't be mad at me, I didn't mean any of that." He said trying to pull me into a hug but I dodged it.

"Someone's sleeping in the shed tonight." Laughed Brent.

"You mean couch, you moron." Muttered Jake.

"No shed, my mom always threatened with the shed, she didn't even want him in the house when he behaved improperly." A smile took my face at that.

"Whatever." Muttered Jake.

"Can we leave or should we be worried about her trying to kill you again?" Asked Jake sounding annoyed.

"Lose the attitude or you'll be next." I threatened him. He froze and immediately saluted causing a giggle to leave my lips.
