104 Parker It took him all of about 10 seconds of looking at that woman walking towards them , to know who she was going to be , something he himself had pondered over this past week , but had not actually said anything .
This was the one woman that could call Freya out , and now he understood why he nor Vex had been able to .
Why no one could .
The past three days inside his own pack , hed felt a presence here , and hed hunted it himself just last night .
Hed gone out to try and track it as it moved about inside his pack .
Hed never been able to lay eyes on what it was .
Now he understood that was because shed simply not allowed him to .
Didnt want him to , and the moment hed gotten close to that presence he could feel , it had just blipped itself to the other side of the pack .
It was a she , there Moon Goddess in fact , and she radiated beauty and calm as she walked towards them , and her dark blue eyes sparkled like the night sky Selena , Vex told him , and his own wolf bowed his head inside his mind .
Tis time , Freya .
To come home to me , she stated simply , calmly for he and Shannon to hear as well as Freya .
Home to you ? Parker asked , and though it was what he suspected , he couldnt help but to ask the question , because he wanted an actual answer to it .
Her eyes moved right towards him and then , as she waved a hand , and he watched Shannon just crumple to the ground unconscious next to him and understood in that moment , that was what had happened to his entire pack .
They werent sleeping but unconscious at Selenas will .
Mm , she is my wolf , Selena stated .
And its time I retrieved her and take her back to the temple .
His eyes moved to Belladonna .
The wolf that inhabited her body actually belonged to Selena , their Moon Goddess .
No wonder no one could call her out , and she didnt want to be seen .
Your actual wolf is inside Belladonna … he couldnt help but stated as he looked at her , how could they be two separate entities .
Yes , my wolfen counterpart .
She nodded .
Ripped herself from me a millennia ago .
Dont concern yourself with it , she told him almost dismissively .
Belladonna ? he asked , if Selena was here to reclaim her wolf .
That meant she was going to pull her out of Belladonnas mind and body , something that on a new moon could kill her .
1/4 4104 Hmm , you know what she truly is ? she countered .
Yes , a Citron Wolf I believe .
He nodded .
Did you learn your lesson , Alpha Parker ? She asked , stepping over to Belladonnas body .
What ? he frowned .
Mm , I believe Freya saw fit to punish you , nine years of it now .
+8 Points > He was still frowning at her as he tried to understand what she was talking about , and then it dawned on him Carina .
Selena nodded .
Sometimes , Freya is unruly and … she kind of shrugged .
Gives back to others what she thinks they deserve … I believe you call it Karma … Freya calls it equal punishment .
You should have followed your heart long before you met Carina .
That is what I mean to say … Freya understood you , waited patiently for you to realise your Chosen Mate meant the world to you , and for you to tell her how you felt … but you opted not to .
She shook her head as she looked up at him .
So she paid you back in kind .
Shes a bit on the vengeful side .
She shrugged and looked back to Belladonna or Freya .
You wouldnt be if you rejoined yourself with me .
she told her own wolf .
He heard Freya snort as she sat there on the ground .
There was nothing he could say or do .
Hed suspected as much that hed chosen wrong and could only agree with her .
I chose wrong .
Only a few can be judged by Freya as a True Alpha .
Youre on your way to that I see , but my beast , she is so very stubborn in getting what she wants .
She has her own destiny , separate from mine now , which … she rested a hand on Belladonnas head .
Is now complete , for the time being .
Her other hand touched Belladonnas chest .
It is time Freya , to let her go .
The new moon sets now , and Selenas attention was gone from him , along with her desire to explain anything further .
Release to me now .
He heard Freya snarl and saw Belladonnas entire body stiffen , then she was pushed down to lay on the ground before both of them .
Dont hurt her , he stated , and tried to kneel down himself next to her , only to find his body no longer under his control .
You can not interfere , Wolf .
Her eyes moved to him for a brief moment only .
Dont even try , I can command you as easily as all those in this pack , Selena told him .
2/4 He found his mouth snapped shut so he couldnt even speak , and he was made to stand there and watch but unable to do anything about what he was seeing .
He watched as Selena , their own Goddess , the one they all prayed to and were created by , started to pull Freya from Belladonnas body .
Her own wolf that had ripped herself from their Moon Goddess , and bound herself willingly to another , something he didnt think Selena was overly happy with .
A long stream of brilliant white mist was pulled from Belladonnas body and pooled in the air above her body , forming a large white sphere then a wolf began to form inside of it .
He had to stand there , unable to move as he watched Belladonnas body arch up and writhe about , hear her gasp in pain and then cry out .
He wanted to yell at Selena to stop , that it was killing her , as he saw blood trickling and then flowing from her mouth .
Selena stood up and put her hands on the sphere of light and the wolf within snarled at her .
It didnt appear to him that Freya wanted to be pulled from Belladonnas body .
There was still one thin thread from that sphere to Belladonna .
It wouldnt snap when she pulled on the sphere .
Selena huffed and shook her head , then grabbed that sphere with her wolf inside it , and turned and thrust it away from her in a hard sharp motion .
Snapping a hand out to Belladonnas body as it lifted into the air , and her hand connected with Belladonnas chest where the white thread still clung to her , as her body tried to follow the sphere , and both of them went flying in different directions .
His eyes widened as he saw blood spraying from her mouth and his heart raced inside his chest as he heard the cracking of bones .
He tried to shoot off the mark to get to her .
Both he and Vex , trying with all they had to catch her , but they were still bound to the place Selena held them to .
They couldnt snatch her from the air and stop her from being further injured even though it was what they wanted .
Their own Goddess was killing Belladonna in order to retrieve her own wolf .
His eyes were on her .
She didnt hit any trees out here , she didnt go smashing onto the ground and roll over to land in a crumpled heap .
Kind of just stopped after the tether between herself and Freya was snapped and floated there lifelessly in the air , before floating down to the ground gently .
It is up to you now , Parker , what happens to Bella .
Dont tick Freya off now , or shell come back for you Selena told him .
She is my wrath and tool of vengeance .
His eyes moved from Belladonna to Selena at those words , and there , standing next to the moon Goddess was her wolf , with twin moons for iriss she was pure white and kind of hard to < 104 look at , but power could be felt coming off of her as much as Selena herself .
+8 Points > Parker watched as Selena put a hand on Freyas large head and those eyes of her wolf turned black like two new moons and Selenas eyes turned white like a full moons .
Freyas fur started to turn black as Selenas hair turned white .
Freya was so dark in colour that she could barely be seen at all , almost as if shed vanished .
She was a colour that was very hard to see because she was as black as the void of space .
When he tilted his head , he could kind of see her , and then not , almost as if Freya was in his peripheral vision only , and he couldnt actually focus upon her , only seen indirectly .
It was as if Freya was now the night sky and Selena was the moon .
Whereas when hed first seen them , everything about Selena had been the night sky and Freya like the moon .
Their appearance changed right before him and he wondered what they would look like if they were together as one .
A portal appeared behind them and Selena turned and walked away into it .
Her wolf , Freya with her .
She was easily seen in that realm with the moon glow all around her .
She was a midnight wolf not visible in this realm because she didnt belong to it .
She belonged in the night realm with their Goddess .
The portal closed , and he was finally released from his immobility and felt his entire pack come back to him as they too , all woke up .
He was released from her will , and he was on the move the moment he was able to move , raced over to Belladonna even as he heard Shannon ask in a groggy manner , What happened ? Belladonna was just laying there on the ground lifeless before him , not breathing and though he could hear her heat beating erratically , there was deep bruising spreading across her chest when he checked the wound shed gotten from their own moon goddess .
Panic was starting to fill not only him but Vex , as they tuned their hearing to her, and they could hear it , blood flowing freely within her body .
She was bleeding internally , and he understood Selenas words .
Belladonnas survival was on him now .
