Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 193 Kat POV I was waiting for Seline to show up, we had so much going on with the pack. My stress levels were through the roof. I had hardly been sleeping with everything going on. The twins were teething something horrendous, all their teeth deciding to come through at once. Sleep felt like a thing of the past. Dominic was going to Andreiâs on Tuesday and I have been in a state of panic ever since finding out and knowing I would have to confront him, why he would request for me to come had me on edge, making me wonder if this was going to be a cause for the vision.
I also lost my phone, I have no idea where I put it and that was another issue for another day. I yawn looking at the clock, it is a little after 5pm, is that all it was? My eyes were practically falling out of my head.
The room shutters and I sigh, finally Seline was here. Looking over at her she was smiling brightly at me, please be good news.
âWhy are you smiling?â I ask her cautiously. âBecause today I want to show you something, I found it fascinating when Celeste showed before she died and also I have fixed the second chance mate issue but first come with me because you get to make not only a bond, but a vessel bondâ She says holding her hands out.
I couldnât help smiling at her enthusiasm, it was good to see her smile. It almost made me forget she was dying. Walking over I place my hands in hers, the room fizzles and warps and takes a few seconds only for nothing to happen.
Seline lets my hands go and shakes hers before grabbing mine again. The same thing, we donât move to her realm.
âThis has been getting harder, how about you try, you will have to travel between realms anyway when you take overâ
âHow am I going to transport us, I donât know how to do itâ I tell her.
âJust think of my office, picture both of us there and relax your mind, breathe in and breathe outâ She says. I close my eyes trying to picture her golden light filled office. At first I feel nothing and I inhale and exhale trying to picture her room exactly how I saw it last time and I feel a slight buzz under my skin before a suction feeling and pressure. When I open my eyes we are standing next to her desk.
âPerfect, see you will get the hang of it. Once I die it will get easier. The fact I couldnât do it with you present means you are getting stronger and it required you to do itâ I hated the casual way she talked about her death.
âSo what is the lesson todayâ
âPairing matesâ She says motioning to the strange mystical fountain. Walking over I peer into the smoky water and I could see the bottom. She swirls her hand in the water and colours appear, glowing different colours before she runs a finger straight down the middle, the blobs of colour moving to one side and I watch as the blurred colours take small forms of wolves.
âSo first part of the history lessonâ âHistory lesson, on what?â I ask.
âCeleste first of all, I donât expect you to have heard of her before, but how did she become the Moon Goddess?â Seline asks, I shrug.
âGod!â I tell her and she chuckles, what did she expect me to say?
âCeleste was a witch, but not just any witch, she was half Goddess, she was the sister of Venus. Since she was half witch her father got with a mortal woman, creating Celeste. She was half human, half Goddess. Venus was a full Goddess and she is the Goddess of love and Celestes half sisterâ I nod trying to take all this in.
âOkay, so?â I ask.
âWell like I said she was half mortal and a witch. When Celeste was alive in the human world she lived in a village with humans, her mother being one of them and her little brother. They all lived together in a small hut and the village was surrounded by forest, one night Celesteâs mother was killed, and it angered Celeste. Can you guess what killed her mother?â I think for a second, it could be any number of things but the first word that popped to mind was âWolvesâ
âCorrect, wild wolves had become desperate, not enough. Not enough wild game to feed hundreds of villagers and the carnivores, so Celeste wanted to protect her village, her sister who she didnât know always kept a close eye on her. Venus found her mortal sister quite fascinating and kept watch over her. Venus tried to warn her that doing a spell like that was dangerous, Celeste however didnât care. Her intentions fuelled by her anger, the villagers were scared and Celeste wanted to do something, she wanted to ensure her brothers safety, so Celeste and a few coven witches decided to do a spell, level the playing field if you will, only it required a human sacrifice and the sacrifice of a wolfâ
âCeleste became that sacrifice, what is it with gods and sacrifices?â I shake my head and Seline laughs, â The things one would do for loveâ She says and I nod.
âAnyway no one stepped forward obviously, but Celeste couldnât bear the thought of her brother being killed so she tried to do the spell without a sacrifice, Venus warned her against it but of course she didnât listen as no teenager does. They created the spell and it was a full Moon, they had everything else except the human sacrifice. When they cast the spell, they quickly realised something was wrong when the humans suddenly shifted. The spell was supposed to give them extra senses, canât beat the enemy, join them, they should have been given speed, sight, sense of smell all that comes with being wolf but in human formâ She pauses for a second.
âOnly when they shifted she realised her mistake, Venus tried to warn her and she didnât listen and suddenly her entire village and every village in the country was forced to shift into beasts, savage like real wolves only bigger and stronger, instincts ruled over them making them crazed. Nearly her entire coven was killed all but her, it is believed she was spared as punishment by the gods. Forced to watch her mistake, this is also where all the myths come from. She didnât create wolves she created something worse, she created Lycansâ
âAt first they could only shift on a full moon, if the moon was out, they couldnât help it. Their bodies transformed and they roamed the earth killing everything they came across. In a bid to stop this, the villagers set out to sea, in search of new lands and places to live, trying to separate the colonies of Lycanâs because their uncontrollable urges were killing everything and leaving nothingâ Seline explains.
âSo that is how so many exist today, she didnât just transform her village she transformed an entire country?â I ask.
âYes, she underestimated her power being half Goddess, so with the coven it only enhanced it, like a plague in a sense, affecting every human it reached. Celeste angered the gods and so they locked her into this realm to make sure she did no more harm while the monsters she created continued to roam the earth. They told her she had to fix it, undo it but she couldnât without the original coven elders that helped cast the spell. So for centuries she tried, the monsters she created were feared and humans hunted them, sought them and killed them while they were in their human forms, hence when they found out about silver harming us, and it did. It harmed Lycans, killed themâ
â So when did you become the Moon Goddess?â
âTime wasnât really measured or accurate so I canât say for sure, but the saying I am as old as dirt would be closeâ She chuckles.
âAnd you created werewolves?â Seline nods pointing to the fountain.
âYes, So Celeste was stuck in this very realm and they called her the Moon Goddess because the only day she could leave here was on a full Moon to try to reign in the Lycans, but it never workedâ
â Now my parents were king and Queen, making me a princess of our kingdom, my parents died.
Lycanâs got them when they were travelling to another kingdom by horse and carriage. I was raised by my maid until my coronation, I wanted to eradicate Lycanâs what I wasnât expecting was to fall in love with oneâ
âWait, you were human?â Seline smiles, her eyes sparkling.
â1oo percent human, I was walking through my garden when a man climbed the stone fence, gave me quite the fright. He was severely injured. I couldnât understand how he was alive, my maid helped get him inside. The guards wanted to kill him, he was naked when I found him, he was also a savage. We had him locked in the cells after he tried to attack me when he woke upâ
âThe guards refused to feed him, said he suffered from madness and I should let him die, so instead I went down everyday and I would read to him, after awhile he started eating and he healed a little more, he used to watch me through the bars when one day he spoke and said his name was Bain. After the second week he would be sitting by the bars waiting for me and eventually I built up the courage to step into his cell. He wanted to look a t the pictures of the book I was reading and that became routine. A month later I was reading to him when I fell asleep, you could imagine my shock when I heard his bones snapping and he turned into a 8 foot wolf standing on two legs. I thought the monster ate himâ She chuckles.
â Only when I screamed instead of attacking me he clamped his hand around my mouth and curled himself around me. I sat frozen all night while he purred. I was convinced I was going to become his next meal, but when the night was over he shifted back and I found Bain naked and curled around meâ I sit down fascinated with the story yet also shocked to learn she was human.
âI kept his secret but eventually he was caught, he was fine around me but I made the mistake of letting stay in my room on a full moon, a guard came to check on me because I was sick and he killed the guard, he was possessive and felt threatened when the man touched my foreheadâ
âThey killed him, not long after I learned I was pregnant, my daughter was beautiful she was placid but when she came of age she showed traits but never shifted, I was Queen but nothing I did prevented her death, once they found out who her father was they killed Koraline she was 13 and they burned her at the stake, when I found out they caught her. I raced to get to her, I rode a horse into the city in the middle of the night and found her tied to a stake and they were going to set it alightâ She stops like she was lost in time, remembering her heart ache. I reach over and squeeze her fingers gently and she wipes her eyes shaking her head.
âEveryone refused to help, no one would let me explain she wasnât a monster like the Lycanâs. She was good and raised right, she screamed for me when she spotted me trying to get to her. I wanted to hug her, she was my world, she was the last piece of her father and the man I loved, she was my daughter. So I broke free and I climbed up there with her, I tried to remove her shackles and I couldnât so instead I hugged her, held her tightâ
âI brought her into the world, if she was leaving it. I was going with herâ Seline says.
âI told her of her father to try to comfort her, try to distract her and I burned with her, when howls rang through the night, what I didnât know was the Lycanâs knew of my daughter, she would sneak out constantly which was how she was caught, she hated being kept in the castle like a prisoner, she liked to roam the forests. Even though she couldnât shift into a wolf, she smelt like one, she was stronger than a human and she befriended themâ
â The Lycanâs came tearing apart the city, they tried to save us, I refused to let go of her. I wanted to die with my baby girl, but they wouldnât let me. I was furious, they couldnât get her shackles off and I watched her burn, I was near death when Celeste came luck has it, it was a full moon. She was shocked a human woman would die for one of her beasts and I begged her to kill meâ
âShe said she saw that I was able to tame my daughter, able to tame Bain and told me she couldnât save my daughter because she was mostly human unless she did a spell making her have an immortal soul like her Lycansâ Seline sits down beside me.
âShe said she could take me to Bain. I yelled at her and said no, told her to kill me, I was already dying my skin as dark as charcoal in places and barely alive, I begged her. She said I was the missing link she was looking for and I didnât understand at first, she told me I was their humanity, that love changed Bain and stopped Koraline from becoming a monsterâ Seline says getting back up and walking over to the fountain, she looked down at it before looking at me.
âI was unfortunately mortal and dying so Celeste used her magic and her Goddess given divine power and instead of making me a Lycan she tried something else, She moved over to the where my daughter lay dying, she told me she could bring her back but if I wanted to see her again, I could only do so in her realm and that she would make me a Goddess, but only if I fixed her Lycanâs. I of course agreed not realising what she meant, she couldnât bring my daughter back in her human form. But I agreed so she brought me here and brought me back and gave me a piece of her soul, like I did youâ Seline tells me pointing at me.
â Only she didnât just give me a piece she gave me her life, in exchange she brought my daughter back but she wasnât the same, she didnât remember me, she didnât know who I was to her. She brought her back as the white wolf, a symbol of my love for herâ
âI kept my daughter with me, yet she longed to be free. Lycanâs started dying off completely, this realm was becoming overthrown with them, until I remembered love saved Koraline and Bain. After a while I convinced the goddess of love, Venus, to help me create mates. She thought it was a great idea at first, Forcing their humanity but that didnât work either, the lycanâs nearly died out and I was stuck here with all these Lycan souls, so I changed the idea again, I mated them to humans, creating vessels, so when the Lycan died off, and child was born with Lycan DNA I placed one of the Lycan souls, making them a werwolf, giving the human form an alter ego and by doing that Lycanâs have lived on through their human counterpartsâ
She explains.
âIt gave them back their humanity by having a human vessel. My daughter though, wanted to be free, she couldnât understand what she meant to me.
She didnât understand I was her mother as she was a wolf. She longed to find her mate, Koraline was blessed by Celeste when brought back to me, but she was never whole, she always longed to be free even when alive, so when Marabella cursed me out I saw it as an opportunity, and I merged my daughter with Marabella, taking Marabellaâs original wolf, I replaced her wolf with Koraline, giving my daughter what she wanted. I just didnât realise the consequences of it, I thought she would be set free not passed down through generations. M y daughter is Kora, she needed her mates to set her free, she just wanted to be loved completely and she got that when you set her free. You freed my daughter Katya, you sacrificed your life for your packs so I brought you back, you were the first time I had hope of getting her backâ
âKora is Koraline?â I ask her and she nods, yes Kora is my daughter and the blessed white wolf, I cursed my own daughter when I cursed your family, and this is where I took mates bonds seriouslyâ Seline waves me toward the fountain and I get up looking in it.
âWhen a werewolf child is conceived you will feel it, all wolves are the reincarnation of Lycanâs that need a vessel, recycled keeping the bloodlines alive. Some want to go back some choose to remain here, this side is the Lycanâs wishing to go back, this fountain is the fountain of life, when Lycanâs chose to go back, I place them in the fountain waiting for a vessel, while in the fountain everything they know and love is erased, they are reborn.
When a child is conceivedâ She waves her hand through the water, colours ghostly but coloured float amongst the water.
âYou match a wolf to the personality that you think the human vessel needs, see here this human vessel is light blue, what does that tell you?â Seline asks.
âYou can touch itâ Seline says and I gently run my fingers through the water and gasp.
âYou can feel their personalitiesâ I gasp and Seline smiles.
âShe is quiet, shyâ I tell Seline, âso you give her a wolf that is the opposite, a wolf that will bring her out of her shell, itâs not just about mating them, itâs also about finding the right human vessel, see the wolf isnât mated to the other wolf, they are mated to the human counterpart, so when Kora awakens in your daughter, Maddox wonât recognise Kora as his mate, he will recognise his daughter, same as Kora. Itâs confusing but mate bonds are formed between human and wolf, not because of the wolves themselves, just the wolves sense when they find their human soul to bond tooâ
Seline explains. I nod thinking I understand. When I scan the wolves looking for a wolf for the girl. I touched an orange hued wolf, it was lively but kind.
âThatâs good, now bring them together and bleed them into one anotherâ I do as she says, feeling them merge and the rest of the blobs disappear leaving the two I merged together.
âNow call on the unmatedâ She says, washing her hands through the water, merged souls come to the surface and I instantly spot one that stood out like a tingling sensation.
âNow guide them together, sometimes they will take control themselves but rarely so part the others awayâ I do, leaving only a green and yellow hued auras, the orange moves toward them and stops before absorbing into the one I believed correct.
âYou just created a mate bond and a vessel bondâ
Seline says and I smile up at her.
âWhen you said Marabella and her mate forged a bond, is that what you meant, when you tried to pair them they drifted and merged on their own?â
âYes, I tried to put Marabella with Jonah, they were a good match, I could feel it, yet the other dark aura, I had never found a mate for but he floated around. The moment I brought you back, it forced them together. I tried for hours to separate them but eventually they merged, I couldnât keep them apart, I tried guiding them to others but nothing worked.
âSo if you didnât mate her to Jonah, who did you mate Jonah too?â
Fated To The Alpha ï¤Chapter 192 Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son ï¤Chapter 149: Epilogue â I didnât, I gave him his wolf, but I left him as a wild card. He was suited to Marabella but I couldnât bond them, but â Seline tells me holding u p a finger before turning to look at me.
â She could take him as her chosen mate â I finish for her and she smiles brightly.
âAlways a loophole, remember that Kat â Seline says.
