Fated To The Alpha (Ezra, Katya)

Fated To The Alpha, Chapter 284
Katya POV We were eating dinner when I felt the pull, it sucked me in and I was suddenly standing in the fountain room of the
moon goddess realm. I tried to figure out what pulled me here, yet as another wave of nausea rolled over me. The realm shook,
water in the fountains sloshed over the sides and I gripped one.
Trying to hold it steady. I stared down at Dominic’s wolf that glowed like a beacon. The shudders stop again and I regain my feet,
moving to the fountain of life, I swiped through the smog and steam, clearing the water to see Eziah’s life force darkening.
Marabella’s turning gold. My heart hammered in my chest trying to figure out what was going on. What went wrong. Frantically
scraping through the water, tipping it over the edge and rewinding the past to see.
They opened the coffin! I gasped. I didn‘t know how they would do it but knew it would be done. Suddenly the realm shakes
again and each time Eziah grew darker and Marabella glowed fiercely. Nothing was working, my son was dying and I watched as
they tried to piece the puzzle of the curse together when I noticed something in the center of Marabella’s life force, i t was a black
smudge.
And something else, something trying to attach to her. I moved to another fountain, the one Dominic’s wolf sat in, along with it
was another flickering life force, though it wasn’t like the others it glowed and flickered blue, and tendrils seeped behind it, trailing
it. I touch it and dread befalls over me. Darkness. Darkness so powerful it threatened to consume me.
Now I was trying to piece together what was happening when I watched Dominic’s wolf chase after it, trying to calm it when it hit
me and I scooped them out of the fountain. I waited for Dominic‘s wolf to disappear in my hands like it usually did, but he
remained, letting me transfer him back to the fountain of life. Along with a strange shadow wolf. I place them in and they both
attach to Mara. And I gasp at the realization. Tears brim in my eyes and I choke o na sob. My baby girl was pregnant. Dominic
wolf was sensing its kin. Yet Dominic wouldn’t wake. I watched them argue while Dominic‘s blurring little blob of a wolf flickered,
staring up at me expectantly.
“What is it,” I ask him but he just stares at the pup and back at me. I touch the smoky wolf and his name appears in my head, as
I witness his past lives.
“Obsidian,” I murmur. Looking back at the fountain. I move through the water sifting through time and looking for anything that
could lead them to breaking the curse. Obsidian kept playing on my mind. The word so dark and the shadows attached in mind I
was brought backt o the curse. How it all started. I watched. Having watched it a million times over the last couple of months.

Two stones, the moon, and a sacrifice. I look away when I watch Celeste kill the girl. So tragic. The stones, one represented
death the other life. “One creates a god, one destroys one.” Celeste tells Kaif. It makes me wonder and I remember Selene’s
words.
“I‘m tired,” she was tired of being the moon goddess. It truly was the worst curse of all. Choosing fate, choosing who lives and
dies. Did Celeste hand the realm to selene for the same reason selene gave it to me. Eternity is a long time and everything has a
loophole. Suddenly the realm shakes again and I lurch forward, my hand falling in the fountain to catch myself.
It starts with the moon, it ends with the moon, those words played on mind when it clicked. It wasn’t a literal moon. It started with
Celeste the Moon Goddess, it had to end with a Moon Goddess. I rush to the shelves looking through the old books and finding
the list of curses and those that are still cursed. Finding Kaif’s it never made sense. The drawings were ancient and symbolic as I
stared down at the old parchment. There stood Celeste, the stones in each hand the moon above her. Her sacrifice at her feet.
Yet how did it fit. One takes life, one gives it. The stones were Gemini! Dark and light. I wandered over to the fountains and
watched Marabella and Eziah once again try to break the curse. Yet neither could harbor the other’s power. Because neither
were Gemini. Together they were the Gemini but neither were both. My blood ran through their veins but neither were a god or
goddess. Only demi’s. The stones, the curse, my kids and how they cancelled each other
out.
I shake my head, one creates, one kills. Celeste wanted out but what was her sacrifice, it was her life, she sacrificed her life so
she could rest. It suddenly made sense, they couldn’t destroy the stones. Only the stones could destroy each other just like I
watched my children kill each other.
A pit forms in my stomach and I feel myself craving my mates. Just the thought of them had them being sucked into the realm. It
rarely happened but they were both an extension of me and I them. Me needing them pulled them to me.
“A little warning next time,” Mateo gasps moving toward me. I glance at them. Ezra watched me curiously, yet I didn’t know what
I was asking of them.
Mateo grabs my chin to make me look up at him and Ezra steps closer. Could I condemn them for eternity? Ezra steps closer,
wrapping his arms around me and peering over my shoulder. “I know something is wrong, or we wouldn’t be here with you, so
what is it?” He asks.

Mateo leans over the fountain, squinting at our children. “Why is Eziah like that?” he says, panic lacing his words. Ezra looks
over my shoulder again at Mateo pointing at our son.
“They are trying to break a curse they can’t break,” I admit.
Ezra watches them try again and Mateo watches me curiously. “You know how to break it,” he says and I nod.
“And it would break the curse on Dominic and bring him back?” I nod again. Yet I do this, I doom not only me but my mates.
“At what cost?” Mateo asks.
“Us,” I answered.
“Do what you gotta do,” Ezra says and their trust in me overwhelmed me. They would follow me blindly, they had complete faith
in me still, even after I f****d up so terribly in the past.
“I do this, there is no way out, we will never know rest,” I tell them. But I wouldn‘t destroy my kids. Eziah would die trying. I know
he felt guilty about not picking up on Marabella’s feelings, this he believed was the only way to make up for it. Yet Marabella
would never sacrifice her brother, but if she didn’t she would sacrifice her mate.
“I would forever be the moon goddess, I could never hand the title down when we die, we will forever be stuck here, you will be
stuck with me.’Do you both understand what I am saying?” I ask them. Yet I was doing it even if they didn‘t agree, though I knew
they would. “Eternity with you by our sides would still not be long enough,” Ezra whispers, kissing my cheek. I look at Mateo.
“I can live with Eternity with my mates, though you have the transfer dagger?” Ezra catches o n first and shakes his head before I
can answer. Mateo sighs. “You can’t destroy one without the other,” he says. I nod, chewing my lip and Mateo looks in the
fountain to see Kyan run off.
“That boy deserved so much more than Selene handed him,” Mateo states.
“Yes, like his father, we had him wrong,” I tell them.
“Then you better make it right,” Mateo says, stepping closer and wrapping his arms around us both and sandwiching me
between them. “This right here, is all that matters. Anywhere trapped with you both is worth being trapped for,” Ezra purrs and I
sigh. “I really messed things up,”

“So time to clean up, Selene trusted you to make the right decisions, and this is the right one t o make, we will be right with
you,you aren’t like selene or Celeste, you will never be trapped here alone, not with us by your side, where you go, we go, I can
live with that. What I can‘t live with, is knowing our kids will suffer if you don‘t. So don‘t let them, and bring Dominic back. You’re
not the only one that regrets that day,” Ezra mumbles into my hair. I nod. They both evaporate going back to the human realm
while I glance down at Dominic’s wolf.
“Ready to go home?” I ask him and he flickers, staring up at me.
With one last glance at the realm I would one day be cursed to never leave, I portal back. Only this time I portal to my kids, to
everyone else I was the Moon Goddess, they needed a Moon
