I looked at him and nodded.
Tim and I went to different sides of the bed, where two chairs were placed on either side.
I took my seat as he took his.
The door opens and closes, letting us know that the doctor has left.
The room was silent.
I stared at Roxie and placed my hand in hers.
Tingles rippled through me as Blaze came closer to see her.
“Mate,” he whispered.
He had been quiet during the whole of the findings, and he never said a word, and I started to get worried about him.
“You okay?” I asked him.
Blaze steps back and looks at me.
“I’m okay,” he mutters. “Want mate to wake up.”
I sighed.
“I know,” I said.
There was silence between us, but Blaze spoke again. “Mate saved us,” he whispered, feeling pride sweep over him.
I didn’t say anything to him but stared at Roxie.
My heart was racing.
I needed her to wake up.
I needed her to let me know she was alright.
ROXIE
I stirred but woke up with a start, not knowing where I was.
I blinked a few times, as I didn’t know what was happening to me.
I looked around and couldn’t help but frown.
I was in a white room, nothing in there, only me and a bed I was lying on were here.
I glanced down and realized that I wasn’t in my blood-soaked clothes from before but in a white dress.
“You look better,” came a heavenly voice.
I looked around, but no one was there.
Where the hell am I?
I tried to rack my brain, trying to remember where I was. Then a black wolf came to mind; it was staring at me with blood dripping out of the corners of its mouth.
I looked like I was his next meal.
I closed my eyes tight and shook my head.
Someone clears their throat, which makes me open my eyes. I looked around, but as I stared toward the side, a gorgeous woman stood there with wide eyes.
“You didn’t answer me,” she said as she stepped closer.
I stared at her and felt weird.
I didn’t know this woman from anywhere, but I felt safe. How was that possible?
“You are trying to figure out where you are,” she asked, which made me nod. I never took my eyes off her.
The woman smiled. “It’s ok,” she said. “You’re not dead, just resting. I wanted to meet you.”
I stared at her, feeling slightly confused.
“Who are you?” I asked as I c****d my head to the side, trying to figure out who she was.
The woman showed her teeth in a grin. “I’m Selene,” she said, which made my eyes widen. “I’m the Moon Goddess.”
My mouth went dry as I tried to process what she said, but Selene moved closer and held out her hand. “We don’t have much time, and I have someone who wants to see you.”
I looked at her hand and moved off the bed. As soon as I placed my hand in hers, the room changed. Like a puff of smoke, the room went from white to us standing in a garden.
I couldn’t believe this was happening.
“Beautiful isn’t it,” she said with a smile as she let go of my hand.
I nodded, taking in the garden’s beauty.
As I look toward a set of trees, something white comes hurtling toward me and pounces on me, which makes me fall to the ground as something starts l!cking my face.
“Rox,” says Bex as she moves back.
I move up onto my arm and look at the white ball of fluff that is my wolf.
“Bex,” I whisper.
I look up at Selene, who is giggling but gives a slight nod.
I looked back at Bex, who l!cked my face again. “Where are we?” I asked, which was more for Selene than Bex.
I got up off the ground and looked at Selene. Bex stood close to me, rubbing her fur against my legs.
Selene smiles.
“You are in the rest world,” she said. “I brought you here as your body went through so much due to that she-wolf, and you needed to heal.” Selene’s face hardened at the mere mention of Naomi.
I looked at her.
“I didn’t mean to kill her,” I said, slightly guilty, but Selene shook her head. “I know you didn’t,” she said. “I didn’t know how strong of a hold her emotions were on your mate.”
I didn’t say anything, but Selene looked at me.
“I give all wolves, my children, their soulmates for a reason,” she said. “Alexander is yours. He was always meant to be with you, but the way everything played out was mainly the fault of no one except those who were out to destroy both of you.”
I stared at her, but something soft brushed up against my leg, which made me look down to see Bex sitting next to me, with her head resting on my leg.
I looked back at Selene.
“Why was she hellbent on doing the things she did?” I asked.
Selene sighed. “Naomi knew who her father was from when she was young, her mother told her. She believed that she had alpha blood in her system and was a true alpha.”
I frowned, even though I knew that not to be true.
Selene looked at me. “Naomi wasn’t meant to be born,” she said, which widened my eyes. “I mean, she would have been if her mum went to her mate like she was supposed to, but when an alpha like Alpha Trevor’s father wants you, you had to go to him.”
She sighed and turned around, walking toward something, but she continued talking.
“Alpha Trevor believed everything his father believed,” she said. “He was a mad alpha in the making, and I should have dealt with him, but I wasn’t allowed to interfere in my children’s lives. He ruined everything I created, including his son.”
I watched as Selene stopped, looked over her shoulder, and gave me a small smile. “I need to right all the wrongs he has done,” she said. “I need you and your mate to help me do it.”
I stared at her and c****d my head at her. “How are we supposed to do that?” I asked.
Selene smiled.
“I need you both to visit Alpha Trevor’s pack because of the destruction he caused to them,” she said. “They never wanted any part of his beliefs. Alpha Lex and you will have to prove that not all Alpha and Luna are like them.”
I stared at her, trying to wrap my head around what she had said.
“You know you are meant to be together,” she said. “You were written in the stars for one another. You are perfect for one another; he brings out everything you hold and love. Also, he never said he didn’t love you.”
My heart beat faster as she talked, but Lex and I were written in the stars sounded like a cliche type of thing. We were opposites.
“You know he never thinks before he speaks,” I muttered, which she heard. “Well, you will put him in his place. You will ensure he knows what to do, and you are his equal.”
I stared at her.
Selene stares, but her face softens slightly.
“If you don’t believe me,” she said and looked to the side of her. “I think someone else will make you see sense.”
I looked at where she was staring, and a bright light appeared but went out as someone stepped out. I adjusted my eyes to the brightness, and my eyes went round as tears filled my eyes.
