White Wolf Hybrid

Third person POV~

Helena and Max have had dinner and are sitting on the couch, watching television. Alexis walks in and Helena tells her she put a plate in the microwave for her. She smiles at them both…walks over and kisses their cheeks and says “I’m grabbing some coffee…and my dinner…heading to the studio! I need to work off today’s fiasco! Oh…and that girl actually came in for more potions! I told her we aren’t selling them for awhile…then I let the Alpha know”… Helena nodded and said “He called to apologize but I didn’t talk to him… Max did” Alexis looked at Max and smiles “Wow! Maybe he isn’t as bad as I was thinking!” And she laughs…shaking her head!

Alexis stopped in her room and changed into her old painting sweats and tee shirt, throwing her hair up in a messy bun. She opened the studio door and stepped in… pulling out a large brick of modeling clay and began to sculpt. Using her exacto knife she began cutting to achieve the shape she was going for. Several hours later, she stood and stretched her back out and walked to the window…. opening it she breathes deeply and looks up at the moon. She whispers “Mother Moon… please let my mate be a good man who loves me. I don’t want to be abandoned by another man who is supposed to love me! Thank you, Goddess, for all your blessings!”

Helena steps through the door and walks over to stand behind her niece… “She loves you, you know.. Selene… Hecate loves you but not like her sister. You are one of her chosen! Made for great things! In two days, you will receive a gift…from both of the sisters! They have waited for you a long time!” Alexis turned…confused… “I don’t understand! Why would they send me a gift? Why am I special?” Helena smiles and shakes her head “I can’t tell you… I can talk to you about it on your birthday… But I can’t.. right now! Your mother knew she would not live to see your 18th birthday. It was part of the deal she made with Selene to keep you with her. Your father was your mother’s true mate. He mated her…but wouldn’t mark her… because she was a witch. The morning he left, something inside your mom broke. She begged Selene to make him have a change of heart…to come back and love her. Hecate told your mother it had to happen exactly as it was playing out. The sisters knew they couldn’t take you from her, too. So, they let her raise you…in a house full of love. Never doubt for one second that she ever regretted a second of having you. You were her pride. Her joy!”

Alexis suggested they go downstairs and share a bottle of wine…so they could talk some more. Once they were seated, Helena smiled “I know you have a lot of questions, now. I wish your mom had spoken to you about this…but she wanted your life with her to be as perfect as she could make it…and none of us could foresee her mind deserting ber before she had the chance. It was always agreed on… that your 18th birthday would be the time to tell you everything. Just remember…always…everything happens for a reason. Everything! And I will always be with you!” Alexis sat there processing…and then she realized….although Helena had said a lot… she had told her nothing! And she laughed! “You simply lumped a lot of words together but said nothing! So. What the hell? It’s the same as dangling a lollipop in front of a toddler…just out of reach! The next 48 hours are going to be the longest of my life!” Helena started laughing. She grins “I have only been told to prepare you to expect your life to change… drastically. But you won’t be alone on the journey! There will be people with you. Loving you…supporting you… helping you! It is also the primary reason you were taught all things magic. You are a powerful witch! More powerful than I am. On your birthday, your mother’s power will also transfer to you. And all that you know, will be enhanced!” Alexis shook her head…”See? Nothing! I woke up this morning…knowing who I am… I will go to bed tonight, thinking I’ve never known. How is that fair?”

Alexis can’t sleep. She sits on the window seat…staring at the moon. She whispers “Tell me Mother Moon… I am only confused now! I know it is my birthday in 36 hours… I know the moon will be full… it was the night of my birth… does that mean something? Is it significant? Why does it feel as though my heart is burning? And why did Aunt Helena tell me all this tonight?”

She moved from the seat and laid down… She giggled “To sleep….perchance to dream!” And closed her eyes….

Across the territory, Blake is dreaming….

He hears his name being called.. by a soft, gentle voice… He opens his eyes and he’s sitting in a field of wildflowers. Walking…nearly floating…towards him is a beautiful woman. Dressed in a gossamer gown…long flowing silver white hair.. smiling at him “Hello my child! I am happy to see your heart changing. Mates are sacred…a bond so strong two souls connect. It goes beyond the love of the heart! You will need your mate. She will make you stronger. And you will be better with her than you can ever be without her. I despaired for years…watching you lose your faith! Athos has always never wavered! He has always wanted his other half! He is one of my most precious wolves! Now! You must listen… carefully! Once you have met your mate…it is important you mate and mark as soon as possible! Big changes will happen. You will be larger….stronger…..more powerful! Your mate doesn’t know who she is…but soon…soon you both will and it is vitally important she knows she has your support in all things. She is scared…terrified her mate will abandon her. Like her father left her mother. There was a reason…and he had no choice… but it still left a lot of pain in its wake. I wanted to tell her…but I could not. I cannot intervene in the affairs of fate. So…when the time comes…you must convince her you want her! You won’t leave her! You accept her…and everything about her!”

Blake asks “Will she accept me? When will I meet her?” The Goddess smiles “You will have to work for it! Now wake!”
