Mate ...s ?!?!

[Orion’s POV]

{dream state}

I was floating in what felt like a field of flowers. I couldn’t feel anything. It was like I was detached from everything. I knew I had lost consciousness but I had no idea where I was. I knew I should be scared but I could feel nothing but peace at where I was.

Even without my Mates with me I still felt at peace and I knew I should feel some type of way about that but I just couldn’t. I couldn’t feel anything but peace here and I wanted to know what the hell was going on.

I could see a figure off in the distance that seemed to be coming toward me and as it came closer, I was beginning to get that sense of foreboding. As if this person was about to tell me something I didn’t really want to hear. Something that was going to change my life forever.

“There you are my son.” the sweet feminine voice came, its tones soft, yet filled with the howls of the hunt.

I looked harder, straining my eyes as I tried to focus on the figure coming closer to me. “Who are you?” I asked not wanting to be rude but wanting to know what the fuck was going on.

A soft giggle sounded around me and warmth covered my entire body. “I am the Moon Goddess little one. However, I am your given mother. The one you call Cilla was to be a surrogate for your mortal body. You and your brothers were to be sent to the mortal world to save my Wolves from Death. She did not uphold her end of the deal. She abused her gifts and squandered her powers. She will answer for her crimes when she comes to my doors.” the voice replied as the figure came closer to reveal the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. Her dark midnight black hair flowing out behind her as her sapphire blue eyes sparkled like stars in the very night sky. Her porcelain skin shimmered in the faded light as she stepped closer to me, her ruby red lips turned up in a smile as she looked at me.

“I had granted Cilla the ability to carry children despite her being born barren and she betrayed my trust in her.” she continued sadness coming to her face as she stopped just in front of me.

“I don’t understand.” I said, trying to understand what she was telling me. Was she saying that I was not really Cilla’s son? Was I not from the mortal world but the divine? I was so confused.

“Cilla Jones was born without her reproductive organs. Not by design, but a defect of development. Her family begged and pleaded for my divine help when they found this out. Cilla was the last of her bloodline, at least the last female of her bloodline and for some reason her family held the females above all else. They had believed that only the females could carry along the bloodline but that is never the case.” the woman said to me, a sadness in her voice.

“What do you mean? A woman is the only one that can truly carry along the bloodline because they are usually the one to carry the pups.” I said not understanding what the woman was talking about. If there had been no women in Cilla’s family the bloodline would have died off because the family traditions would have died away with the females.

“Family traditions are one thing my sweet. However, the genetics of a Wolf do not count of the goings on in a family. A true bloodline is carried through the males and the children in that family. It has nothing to really do with the traditions of that line. Yes, they are there for that line to be remembered but not really needed. If you want to leave your print on the world just exist. That is all that is needed. If you want to make an effect, make it a positive one and help those around you. Be kind to all around you. Cilla was given those same lessons by me when I came to give her the ability to carry my own children but she forgot what was taught to her.” the Goddess explained to me.

“Your own children?” I asked more confused now than when I open my eyes in this field of wild grass and flowers.

“Yes Orion. You are my biological child. You, Julius and Gabrial are my children. I gifted three of my sons to that harpy in the hopes that she would grow into a kind person. I was wrong.” the Goddess said shocking the ever-loving SHIT right out of me.

I was the son of the damn Moon Goddess and I was not prepared for that!!! How do you wake up one day normal, pass out and find out you’re the fucking son of the MOON GODDESS and stay calm!!!!!

The Goddess giggled, like she could hear my thoughts. “Orion, my little star, you have always been so colorful. I went to your brothers asking them if they wouldn’t mind going to the mortal world for a lifetime. There is a Darkness coming to the Mortal world that I fer only the three of you may be able to stop. They were to do two jobs, guide Cilla onto a better path during motherhood and to stop this coming Darkness from swallowing the Wolves. When nothing they did seemed to work and Kelani and Kinder came into existence out of nowhere, I was worried that their intentions as they got older would be evil. I was so concerned about what could happen to my other creations that you came to me. Saying that you would go help your brothers. That they obviously needed a little light in their dark situation. I was very against you going, and then those Twins were born.” The goddess said, her voice turning thoughtful and I could imagine her brow furrowing in a frown.

“Jax and Jace?” I asked, hoping nothing bad was going to come for my boys.

“Yes. They seemed to brighten up so much in this world. There was so much darkness that was clouding my world since your brothers had left. The three of you are part of the sky here. Without you here the sky does not light up. It’s a cold place without my sons here.” she said her voice filled with her sadness.

I felt a sense of warmth from her, like she really was my mother. I couldn’t really doubt her words. She was the Goddess after all. I had always felt like Cilla wasn’t my mother to begin with. She was too cold to be a real mother to anyone. However, I was curious. The Goddess had only said that Julius and Gabrial were my real brothers. That had left Kelani and Kinder. But they had been Cilla’s children.

I think my mother could seriously read my mind because I could suddenly feel her arms wrapped around me. “Kelani and Kinder were a product of a demon. The Demon King himself. Leonidas Knight. His brother Justiconis is hidden within your Pack to keep an eye on Cilla.” mother said thoughtfully.

“Cilla and Justin are not in the Pack any more. At least I don’t think they are any more. I actually don’t know where either of them are. I have been too wrapped up in my Mates to do much of anything. Then they all shove me back into the hell that was High School and I got my ass handed to me.” I said shaking my head a little, trying to clear my head and organize my thoughts.

“Why? Why did you get beat up? I can feel your pain now.” she said a worried tone filling his voice.

“I am an Omega, mom. There are those in the Pack that would rather not be around me because of Kinder. Kelani had been killed when we were pups by a Rouge in our cellar and they had blame me for it.” I said trying to explain my life without breaking down and going into full detail.

“Don’t tell me my son, show me. I know you know how to now.” she said getting me to blush a little.

I reached up and stuck my hands into the cloud that I assumed was her face. I felt an actual head and closed my eyes, letting my memories flow between us. I filled her in on everything from the time Kelani died until the time Cilla was thrown into the cells by my Mates. I showed her every single detail of my life not wanting her to miss any of my special life.

When I was done and I pulled away, backing up even further from her. I was beginning to feel a rage coming off of her that was not something I had ever felt before in my life. “HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO YOU!!!” she demanded her voice almost shattering the ground beneath my feet.

“There is nothing you can do about it now mother. Calm down you are not thinking clearly.” I said, hoping to calm her a little. I was getting really freaked out by all of this and I was very close to having a panic attack. I mean it wasn’t every day you found out that your real mother was the moon Goddess.

My mother breathed deeply, all the negativity that had filled the air quickly dissipating as she focused into a much calmer state. “You are right little star. Now you cannot stay any longer. Your Mates are going to be beyond themselves if you don’t wake up soon. I will awaken your powers my son, but know you will need the help of Rain and your Twins. Those boys are more than just special.” she said as her voice began to fade into the darkness that surrounded me again.

I felt myself falling into the darkness to once again find myself stuck in the nothing. Floating in a sort of in-between as I just let my mind rest for a moment. That’s when I saw Rain.
