Chapter 31. Revelations
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a very bright white room, it was essential, minimalist in furnishings; I did not recognize in any way the place where I found myself. I was looking for a connection, something that would inspire confidence or familiarity, but I couldn’t find it. I got out of bed quickly, I didn’t feel tired at all, all the pain was gone, I felt like a lioness.
“What…? How is it possible…?” I began to wonder aloud, with amazement and wonder, it didn’t seem possible all that I was feeling, except if I was not ... At that moment I realized that the only way that all this could be possible was: I was dead and I was in the house of the Olympus of the Goddess of the Moon. I looked in the mirror and I was no longer the girl without energy, with dark circles that furrowed my eyes, gaunt and unrecognizable that I was until the last time I had looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was the beautiful Myra I used to be, with gorgeous raven hair that flowed proudly down my back. I had to make sure I wasn’t dreaming or at any rate that I knew for sure where I was and what my life would be like from that moment on; then I opened the door of the room and went out. I couldn’t deny that I had a negative feeling, only for one thing: not being able to be with Nathan. He was my whole life and not being with him made it much more difficult for me.
“Hi Myra. You finally woke up! ” A beautiful lady dressed all in white, with silver hair, and purple eyes told me. I hadn’t noticed her until I heard her voice, I was too busy in my thoughts, to notice her presence earlier.
“Hi ...” I said shyly, I didn’t know anything about that girl - lady.
“I am Selene, the Goddess of the Moon.”
“Does this mean I’m dead?” She smiled, maybe she was used to people asking her that question all too often.
“Come on, let’s walk in the garden, I’ll tell you everything.”
“Ok, but I also want the most insignificant detail.” I told her in a demanding tone.
“Promised!” She had a smile and a very kind and accommodating manner, so much so that even though I was in a place unknown to me I felt at home, safe.
“In the future there will be a very dangerous enemy and I had a plan to fight him. Your parents are both Alpha werewolf, descended from a long line of Alphas; so from their union a pure Alpha would be born, only I needed one with greater strength; so I channeled all the Alpha energy to your brother Val. ”
“What do you mean with all the Alpha energy?” I asked, I had lost my train of thought.
“You should have been born an Alpha werewolf, but I made sure that the energy of your wolf merged into one wolf, in your brother.”
“So Val had the strength of two Alphas ... and why did you let him die?”
“Unfortunately what happened I was not able to avoid it. Not all decisions are right as not all programs go according to plan. ”
“Or as my mother would say: not all donuts come with a hole!” Selene giggled and then continued her story.
“The plan I had devised involved the birth of a hybrid; half alpha wolf and half vampire original. Your brother would soon meet his Mate, just as strong as him and would have been an original vampire ... ” Hearing that part of the story I could think of only one name that made sense:” Ela ...” I pronounced it aloud. Selene gave a half smile and in an instant she confirmed my guess.
“Exactly, Ela.” That’s why I felt that connection with her, from the first moment I met her.
“She would have been your brother Val’s predestined Mate. Only he died before he met her, unfortunately. At that moment I had to review all my plans and found a solution. You were too stubborn and did not want to accept Ela’s proposal. For obvious reasons, you couldn’t know what I had in mind so I had to wait until your human body was at the end of its hours. I had to break a rule we have in order for my second plan to work. I contacted Ela, despite her being a vampire and I asked her to inject her poison to turn you into an original vampire... ”
“When? How? No, no no no… ” my brain was already processing so many scenarios and everything I felt was negative. I didn’t want to accept my life without Nathan. I was about to scream my frustration about her bad choice, without my consent by the way, but Selene stopped me even before she started.
“I know perfectly well everything you are thinking and everything you are feeling, but I have things to tell you that you don’t know.”
“Then don’t waste your time, because otherwise I’m sure I’ll die again.”
“When you were alone in the hospital room, while your parents were talking to the doctor, Ela came in and injected you with her poison. When your human body died, the poison was already circulating. When you wake up in three days, you will be an original vampire. You will still be Nathan’s Mate… ”I was sure that Selene was continuing to talk, but I was in a state of trance such that I didn’t understand anything else, I stopped at the fact that I would still be Nathan’s Mate. It was wonderful news, the most incredible thing my ears could hear.
“Myra, are you listening to me?” Selene asked me, taking me out of the trans state I was in.
“Yes, I’m sorry I was overwhelmed by the joy of discovering that I will still be Nathan’s Mate. This is the best news you could give me. That was my biggest problem, I didn’t want to live in a world where Nathan wouldn’t be with me. ”
“Nathan also comes from a pure Alpha family, and the fact that he was with your brother when he died made it a little easier for me to transfer the energy of your brother’s wolf into Nathan.”
“This means that…”
“Yes, you and Nathan will have the first hybrid child in the history of supernatural beings, of the whole world. The firstborn will necessarily be a hybrid and I’ll tell you more, it will be your brother’s spirit that is embodied in him, with his Alpha. All the other children you decide to have will follow free will. ”
“How many children will we have?”
“I cannot reveal your future, because as you can see there are always changes on the horizon. However, I can tell you that the natural scent you possess will not change, that you will not have the problem of day and night, so you will be able to walk in the sunlight, without the fear that your body may burn. ”
“I will be immortal and Nathan ...”
“Nathan is a modified, special Alpha, so his life will not be immortal but he will live almost three or four times the life of a normal werewolf. You will have plenty of time and when his time comes, I think you will know what to do, if that’s what you want. ”
“Thank you, Selene”; I instinctively hugged her, suddenly the vampire life didn’t seem so bad anymore.
“There are people who want to see you, meet you and talk.”
“Who are they, Val is here?”
“Not only him, come I’ll take you to them”; I followed Selene, happy to see and hug my brother again. Knowing that his spirit would be in my son’s body made me happy. Knowing that Val would have a new life made me feel less guilty for stealing his. Although I’m sure it wouldn’t be what my brother would say, but that is how I felt: a life thief. I was sure I would love my son unconditionally, but knowing that there would be a part of Val in him, made me more than happy and sure that my love for them would never end.
