hissed.
He smiled and shook his head. “No.” And he kissed the tip of my nose and got up, jogging back over for football practice. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I looked back out at the track to see everyone was just about done with the exercise. James, Nala, and Peter were grinning at me, walking over to where I sat. “I guess Damian couldn’t get enough of your sexy ass.” Peter joked, making Nala laugh and push his shoulder playfully.
I laughed. “Apparently not.”
I got up as everyone headed to the locker rooms to shower. Grabbing my gym bag on the way, I stripped and showered all the grime and sweat from my body. After finally getting clean, I got my clothes on and packed my dirty ones in my bag. As I walked out of the locker rooms, my vision blurred. I leaned back on the wall and shook my head of the sudden dizziness that was threatening to overtake me, putting my hand on my forehead as a sharp pain made it ache.
As quickly as it came, it went away, and I was aware of Nala and Hailey’s concerned faces in front of me. “Are you alright? You looked kind of pale for a second.” Hailey said, feeling my forehead for fever.
“I-I’m fine. I just had a dizzy spell…I think.” I said, my voice unsure.
“Have you ever had these dizzy spells before?” Peter asked, coming up beside Nala.
I shook my head slowly. “No…I don’t think so. I think I’m okay, must have been from the exertion.” I said, not believing myself as I said it.
“Exertion my ass.” Nala said, making me smile slightly.
James and Gabe walked over, unaware of what happened. I pushed myself from the wall and took a step, and that’s when the dizzy spells came back, only with more force. I felt myself falling, but just before I hit the ground, I blacked out.
Oh my God you're pregnant!

I awoke lying on sand. I could hear the faint sound of waves hitting the shore. I stared at the sky above me, trying to remember how I got here. I slowly sat up, realizing that I didn’t recognize this place. Behind me was forest, and in front of me was endless sea.
“Ah, you’re awake, my child. I was afraid that I’d put you a little too far into your mind and I’d have to find you in limbo.” I heard a soft, tinkling voice murmur beside me.
I looked over to find a woman, maybe twenty years old, she had golden blonde hair down to her waist, and navy blue eyes. Her skin was extremely pale, and yet it only made her more beautiful. Her lips were red as blood, and they contrasted surprisingly well with her skin tone.
She wore a wispy white dress, with a gossamer train blowing in the wind. She looked so familiar, I knew I had seen her before, but where?
“You must be confused.” The woman smiled a blinding white smile. “I would be too if I had woken up in a place I didn’t know, with a woman I hadn’t met.”
“But I have met you I…I know I have.” I said, standing up without trouble.
The woman’s smile softened and she walked closer. I felt no fear of her; I was just very confused as to where I’d seen her before. “Yes, you met me when you were being created. Your spirit accepted me; I am part of you, Cat. I am the Wolven Goddess.” She said.
The shock hit me like a physical slap. I stumbled back a step, feeling physical pain. “Don’t try to process it.” She said, her tone warning. “You are unconscious right now, and it’s dangerous to try and process emotions while in this state, it causes physical pain because you are inside your mind, this is all a projection, even me.” She said.
“So…you aren’t real?” I asked her.
She smiled and shook her head. “No, we’ll meet in the real world, but for now, It is time I tell you who you are.” She said.
She stepped forward and grasped my hands in hers. “You are my chosen one. When your spirit and I met, I knew you would be brave, sweet, courageous, and very protective of your family. So I offered to become part of you, to be part of your soul. Your spirit was honored, it accepted immediately.” She explained.
“So what did my spirit look like?” I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.
“It’s your inner wolf, Lorry. Her spirit was waiting for you to be created.” She informed me.
I smiled. “Wow.”
“So now is the time that I tell you.” her smiled faded, her expression turning serious. “There is a war coming against the coven of vampires near you, and the blades-of-blood pack. But they will not attack when they see you.” she said.
“Why not?”
A small smile returned to her face and she looked out at the ocean. “There is something is not told in the history of wolves.” She said. “When I was so lonely, I asked the greatest God of all, the God who created us, if I could create a creature who could see me as I was. He told me that I could only create these creatures, if I created a natural predator and prey for them. It was only natural that I accepted. These creatures were vampires. They worshipped me like you do, but they are natural enemies of you.” She explained.
I nodded. “So that’s now the vampire knew you had returned?” I asked.
“Exactly.” She said, looking back over at me.
I hesitated, my mind going back to Damian. “I was wondering…why did you mate Damian and I? I do not carry Alpha blood.” I said.
“My daughter, I created Damian with the purpose of joining you together. He is your rock, and you his anchor. And you do have Alpha blood. Your family comes from a long generation of Alpha’s, but the generation died off when another pack took over and the youngest son took his place as Alpha.” She explained.
I stared ahead, fighting back my feelings of shock. “I hadn’t known.”
She put her hand on my shoulder and turned to me, putting her hand on my cheek. “My power is weakening. I need to send you back. Just remember, make sure he sees you.”
“Who?” I asked as my vision started to fade.
“You’ll know when the time comes.” she said, lying me back down on the sand where I’d woken before.
“Goodbye, my daughter.” She said softly.
I closed my eyes, and once again, blacked out.

I opened my eyes and ocean blue ones swam into my view. I was lying on the cold gym floor, Damian leaning over me. Behind him I could see the others, Nala, Peter, James, Gabe Hailey…and looking over their shoulders was Trevor.
“Cat.” Dan sighed in relief. “What happened?”
I reached up and grasped his arms, pulling myself to sit up. Realizing what I was doing, he wrapped an arm around my waist and helped me, settling me against the wall. I didn’t feel dizzy, I didn’t even feel like I’d passed out, I felt like been awake and alert the entire time…just unaware of reality.
“I think I need to go home.” I told Damian, giving him a pointed stare, telling him that I needed to speak with him.
He nodded once. “Harington, you okay?” Coach, who was standing a few feet away asked.
I looked at him and nodded. “Yeah, I think I just exerted myself, and I didn’t bring any water with me.” I lied.
He nodded, his eyes taking in my expression with suspicion shining in his eyes. “Should I call your parents?”
“No!” I said too quickly. “I mean…they’re at work. I’ll just get a ride home with Damian, if that’s okay.” I said.
“No, that’s fine. Damian, that okay with you?”
Damian barely even glanced at Coach Lorre, keeping his eyes on mine as he pulled me up to a standing position. “That’s fine.” He murmured, his voice slow and calculating.

On the way home, we were silent. He glanced at me every few seconds, but I kept my eyes forward. When we finally pulled up to the pack house, he turned to me. “What happened?”
“You remember when Riley got attacked by that vampire?” I asked instead of answering him.
“Yes, but what does that have-“
“And he said that the Wolven Goddess had returned?”
“Yes, but Cat what-“
“He was right. I don’t know how to explain this, so I’ll just let you see.”
I closed my eyes and let the barrier down, letting him into my mind. I heard his intake of breath as I let the memories race through my mind. His hand that hadn’t let go of mine since we left, slowly slackened from its tight hold as he listened.
I looked at him when the memory ended, closing my mind from him once again.
His eyes had been unfocused, and they immediately focused on me when I closed my mind from him. “So you are the one the Wolven Goddess chooses.” He whispered. “And you have Alpha blood in you.” he said a little louder this time, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
I nodded. “Apparently so.”
My mind went back to what she told me. ‘He is your rock, and you his anchor.’ I looked up, realizing that Damian had gotten out of the car. He pulled my door open for me and reached his hand in to help me out.
As soon as I was out of the car, he’d pulled me close to him and scooped me up in his arms. “Hey!” I laughed this time.
“Do not worry my lady!” he said dramatically, swooping me into the doorway. “You will not be harmed in your weak state!”
I slapped his chest, laughing as I he looked at me with mock worry. “Oh thank you my prince charming. I was afraid I would have fainted again.” I gasped, dramatically putting the back of my hand to my forehead and leaning my head back.
He smiled at my theatrics and walked over to the couch, laying me down gently. “Allow me to be your humble servant while you recover.” He said, getting on his knees and clasping his hands together under his chin.
I rolled my eyes and leaned over, kissing the tip of his nose. “You do enough for me already.” I whispered.
He grinned and grasped my chin. “You missed.” He whispered back.
He moved my face down and pressed his lips softly to mine. When he pulled away, he looked passed me and his grin came back. I looked over and realized my parents stood in the doorway to the kitchen. Daddy had his arms crossed over his chest, looking like the protective father I knew and loved, and mom was looking at us both with an inquisitive expression on her face.
“Sweetheart, why aren’t you at school?” she asked me.
Before I could answer, Damian answered
