I couldn't stop crying. I wanted to but I couldn't.
"I can help Katlyn." Alex said stepping forward and her face held calmness and sadness.
I looked away from her as an involuntary growl tumbled from me. I was so angry... My Clayton was gone.
I bared my fangs as I looked at the ground and felt heat run through me before something seemed to bust and fire consumed me. I should've been scared or shocked but I wasn't... it didn't even hurt me. The fire died down some and just settled on my hands and feet. I looked at my hands in growing confusion and moved my fingers, watching the fire flicker from the movement.
"The Fire element is strongest in you. A true blazer, a storm of fire." Alex said softly and I glanced over at her.
Storm of fire.
Fire storm.
Hey, I like that name. Firestorm. Storm said suddenly and I blinked.
Convel... she whimpered and I felt tears pool in my eyes. My sudden interest in the flames died and so did they. I let my hands fall to my sides.
"So much death." Alex sighed. She looked around and took a deep breath and when she opened her eyes they were glowing white.
"Bring the wounded and dead here." Alex said and slowly the bodies were brought over. She looked around and mumbled something and her eyes glowed even more until they resembled the full moon.
I watched her as her hair suddenly paled and turned white and seemed to sparkle. She smiled softly. Light seemed to radiate off her and she made her way toward the bodies laying on the ground. One of the wolves I recognized immediately and the soldier, who I know now by the name of Anna, crying softly made my wonderment true; it was Percy.
Alex moved on graceful feet. An awed silence encased all and we stared at her, frozen. She suddenly shifted and her wolf glowed subtlety and her fur seemed to be glittered with minuscule stars. She tilted up her snout and howled.
The howl sounded more like a musical. It flowed with a lovely rhythm and I watched in wonderment as a light fell from the heavens. As I looked I realized it was a white she wolf. The Moon Goddess. Alex stopped her howl.
She ran on the air as if it were solid ground coming down from the sky. She leapt down and landed softly before Alex. The goddess towered over Alex's wolf who stared up at her. Goddess's pelt glowed as she gave Alex a wolf grin.
"My successor... You will do grand things my child." Goddess said and dipped her snout to touch Alex's forehead.
"All hail the Moon Goddess." The goddess said before touching her snout to Alex. Alex's eyes blazed white and the goddess vanished leaving Alex who glowed more.
Her eyes looked at all of us and she sighed.
"Rise my children." Alex said and light rushed from her body and everyone shielded their eyes from the blinding shine. The light faded and Alex's grin was wide on her face as she walked over to Alpha Xavier and literately tackled him in a kiss.
Gasps rang out and I looked around to see the dead moving and healing. Cries of joy rang out and my heart leapt as Clayton groaned and opened his eyes looking tired and confused.
He looked at me and smiled lazily as he sat up. I was frozen as he felt his healed chest and sighed, "Thought I was a goner."
I let out a chocking sound and flung myself on him.
"It's okay." Clayton cooed and kissed my forehead.
"You died." I shuddered as I said it.
"I know." He sighed and pulled me closer.
"They left." I chocked out.
"I was right beside you the whole time. I know." Clayton said and ran his fingers through my hair. I sighed and laid my head against his chest.
"You couldn't see or hear me but I was there." Clay said and rubbed his hands down my back.
I sobbed softly and clutched his shoulders as I cried joyfully into his chest.
"I thought I lost you." I pulled away from him and searched around for my heroine's white hair. My eyes momentarily rested on Percy and Anna and I smiled as I watched the soldier hugging her mate while Percy chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair.
"Alex! Thank you!" I yelled and everyone else joined in on the praise. The Moon Goddess smiled brightly and dipped her head.
"'Twas an honor." She said in a humble sweet voice and I smiled before kissing Clayton softly on the lips. I pulled away and he growled.
"I die, come back to life, and all I get is that?" He said with a slight smirk in his frown. I raised an eyebrow at him. He shot me a teasing grin.
I chuckled and smashed my lips against his. I felt his lips smile against mine as I deepened the kiss and soon we were locked in a very fiery make out.
"Everyone get dressed. Tonight we will celebrate our victory!" Alex cried out and everyone made their way toward the pack house.
****
I smiled softly as I looked around at the jovial crowd of people. The music played harmoniously as people danced and chatted.
Clayton sat beside me on the porch and threw an arm over my shoulders before kissing my neck softly. I smiled and leaned closer to him as I tried to only focus on him but something felt off.
Clayton seemed to notice my wandering mind and pulled away to look at me.
"Something wrong?" He said softly and I gazed into his golden red eyes. I shrugged.
"I don't think so. I just feel strange." I sighed and he chuckled and kissed my lips softly.
"Well you did smash a guy's skull in your mouth today." Clay said his eyes twinkling. I rolled my eyes and grinned as I nudged him.
We sat on the porch in silence after that just watching everyone.
"Katlyn." A voice said and some people paused as a woman came walking toward me and I jumped to my feet as I realized who it was.
"Emillia..." I gasped and Emillia rushed at me and wrapped me in a hug.
"I knew wolves would win. Congratulations." She said as she pulled away. I smiled at her.
"What are you doing here?" I asked softly. She grinned before turning around.
"Dom! Come on you slowpoke!" She yelled and out came Dominic looking proud and strong carrying-
-a baby.
My heart pounded and I felt tears pool in my eyes.
"Kaden!" I screamed and Emillia chuckled as I rocketed past her and stopped in front of Dominic. Dom smiled warmly revealing his fangs and handed him to me. My body shook with joy and I flung myself at Dominic and hugged him as I held Kaden. Tears ran down my face and the vampire growled reassuringly.
"Thank you Dominic." I breathed and he hugged me back.
"No need to thank me my love." Dominic said softly and I hugged him tighter.
I smiled as I pulled away and looked at my precious Kaden. He was beautiful but I noticed a mark on his arm. I stared at it in confusion realizing it was a bite mark.
"I had to... A vampire can't harm another's claim, Droen couldn't harm him... I'm leader now." Dominic said softly and I nodded in understanding.
"Thank you." I sighed again and Dominic chuckled softly.
"For you: anything." He sighed and backed away dipping his head in respect as Clayton came over.
My mate glanced over him and gazed at Kaden. A smile came to his face and tears welled in his eyes.
"Hey Kaden... I'm your dad." Clayton said in a raspy voice and brushed his hair softly. I smiled as Kaden cooed and reached out to him and I handed him to his father who cleared his throat and held him close. I cried with happiness.
Should I give Dominic another mate? I'm feeling bad for him.
For clarifications the mark on Kaden was not a mate mark or a turning mark. It was a claim that showed that Kaden was Dominic's thus Droen could not hurt him.
Also please tell me of any mishaps and mistakes.
Love you guys!๐๐
Peace,
Kayla
