Livianaâs POV
I felt tired.
And I just wanted to rest.
If I could, maybe forever.
A lot of things has happened in such a short span of time.
But thisâ¦.
This might just be the end of it.
Iâm upset.
Iâm upset of myself.
For being in this situation.
If I die, my pack will lose their Alpha.
Thatâs right.
My pack.
They need me.
I gasped for air as my eyes opened.
I took in my surroundings.
Where am I?
It was a beautiful flower field.
I have not seen this place before.
It looked surreal.
I got up and my eyes wandered.
âLivianaâ
I turned to look at who called my name and my eyes widened immediately before I bowed my head in respect.
âMoon Goddessâ I said.
âMy childâ she said and I carefully looked at her.
She gave me a warm smile before making her way to me.
I kept my head in a bow.
Am I really dead?
âLook at me, my childâ she said and I looked up as she said.
âDo you know where you are?â she asked. I shook my head slightly.
âAm I dead, goddess?â I asked carefully. The goddess chuckled and even her chuckle sounded unreal.
âNo, my child. Not yet at leastâ she said and I almost sighed in relief.
I still have a chance, I think.
âDo you remember what happened?â she asked again. I carefully nodded.
Of course.
âWhy did you do it, Liviana? Everyone had warned you to be careful. Yet, here you areâ she said clearly not pleased with my reckless behavior.
âIâm sorry. I only wanted to helpâ I said guilty.
But then again, helping isnât bad.
âI know, my child. But you keep putting yourself in the worst possible situationsâ she scolded me.
I bit my lower l*p guilty as I lowered my head like a child.
The goddess sighed.
Then she lightly held my chin and made me look at her again.
âDo you wish to live up to your fate?â she suddenly asked.
I froze in place.
Do I want it?
Do I want to be the heir to Lunar and Halo?
Do I want to rule both territories?
Do I want to be mated to a prince?
Do I want to be the first female Alpha?
Do I?
Suddenly, a tear escaped my eye.
Why does it have to be so hard.
I never complained once to anyone before how hard it was to grow up being trained for combat.
I never complained once when I had to take over the Alpha duty when my dad left.
I always had to put up a front.
Like I was the perfect Alpha.
Like nothing can hurt me.
Like how superior I was.
But in reality, Iâm still an 18 year old she-wolf who wish to have had a chance to live a normal life.
Sure, I loved being able to lead my pack.
I loved helping others in need.
But itâs draining.
I could only give so much when I have nothing left.
When every piece of me is missing.
âI donât knowâ my voice broke. The moon goddess pulled me closer to her hugging me.
âOh childâ she said and I burst into tears.
âItâs so hardâ I sobbed.
Iâve really been crying a lot these days.
âI know. I knowâ she cooed as she caressed my hair.
âAnd it will get harder. But know that all of this will help you get strongerâ she said.
âI chose you for a reason, Livianaâ she told me.
âYou have something in you that no other wolf hasâ she said.
âWhat is it?â I asked curiously. The goddess gave me a small smile.
âYouâll what it is by yourself soon enoughâ she told me.
âFor now, do you wish to go back?â she asked. I gulped.
âMay I please stay a little longer?â I asked carefully.
The moon goddess nodded with a small smile.
âOkay, my childâ she said before kissing my forehead then disappeared into thin air.
I sighed.
I walked for a little while until I reached a long river.
I sat beside it and looked up at the sky.
It was beautiful.
For a moment, I wanted to just stay.
To never come back.
But all the memories of the people I cherished flashed through my mind.
My dad, Dimitri.
Edmond.
Theresa.
El.
Ellie.
Alex.
Dante.
Blake.
Katie.
And Luanâ¦
Then thereâs also my real father whp Iâve never met before.
King Kale.
How would he feel when he finds out that his daughter died after he had desperately saved me years ago?
I stood up.
I want to go back now.
Iâm not sure of the rest yet.
But I want to go back.
I want to meet my father.
âAre you ready to go back now?â
I turned to look at the moon goddess and nodded.
âYes, goddessâ I said. She smiled then came closer to me.
âThe place where you will find yourself when you wake up is the place where you can meet me. I am here for you, my child. Alwaysâ she said before planting a k**s on the top of my head.
Then there was a bright light.
My eyes widened as I swam to the top and I gasped for air when I was finally out of the water.
I looked around frantically.
I was in an unknown place.
It had a waterfall and it was surrounded with trees still.
I swam to the edge and climbed up the rock as I stared at the beautiful place.
Then I looked at myself and saw that I was only wearing a hospital gown.
My brows furrowed.
If I was in the hospital earlier and now Iâm notâ¦.uh-oh.
Everyone is going to freak out.
But thatâs the least of my worries right now.
I still have so much going on in my mind.
Like if I actually wanted all of this.
I sighed.
I reached for my back to touch the spot where I was pierced through with the silver knife.
But there was no sign of any wound again.
No scar either.
But I could still remember the pain.
Yet, it felt less than how I feel when I think about leaving the people I cherish.
And not being able to see my dad again and my father for the first time since I was hid in almost 18 years.
And not being able be with Luan, my mate.
I almost couldnât tell him how thankful I am of him still.
That no matter how annoying he was, I still appreciated him so much.
And that for the first time in my lifeâ¦
I started liking a guy.
