After the ceremony the guests were led to a great hall where everyone
was served dinner and a great buffet like no other was prepared with
desserts like she had never seen before in her life. Everyone was happy.
The pack members were dancing, the well-wishers came to bring gifts
and greet the new king and his bride-to-be. âI didn't know you were
this rich. There are parts of this place that I never knew existed.â Luna
said to Luca while they ate. He smiled at her and said, âWell after we're
married then it will all be yours as well. Then I can give you a tour.â
Luca got up from the table and extended his hand to Luna. âMay I have
this dance?â She gladly took his hand and followed him to the dance
floor. âI never got the chance to dance with you at the ball.â He
whispered, but as he did, she felt hot all over and asked him to take her
away from the dance floor as she wasn't feeling well.
He took her to sit and have a drink of water, but her headache got
worse. He scooped her up and took her home. He called for the old
lady as she was good with medicines. Luna told Luca about her abilities
then and while she was doing so the old lady entered with Luca's
grandfather. This confirmed their suspicions that she was one of the
children of the goddess. âThat is why you called me goddess earlier. My
grandmother was like me, but My uncle says that I am stronger than
her. I apparently have more abilities.â
Luna was getting an image in her head. âLuca I can see Lydia. I can see
her. She's in a cabin in the woods near Attica college. It looks old and
abandoned but there is a passage, and it has an underground. That is
where sheâs been hiding.â Luca looked at Luna quite surprised at what
she had just told them. The old lady said that she had the sight. Like an
oracle. âA gift from the gods.â
Luca looked at Luna and waited until she settled. She came to her
senses. âI was only able to see her when you reminded me of the ball. It
was the last time that I was happy with my uncle. It was also the night
that she started all this. The image is gone. It was as if I was right there.
I could smell her but she couldn't see me. She has some traps around
the hut but when we go I can disarm them.â
âWhat do you mean when we go. You're not going anywhere. This
woman Killed your uncle and tried to kill us. You're not going anywhere.
Just point me in the right direction. I will not put you at risk again.â
Luca left and called a meeting with his heads and did not include her.
She however was able to hear everything discussed in the meeting. Her
abilities had intensified since she got close to Luca. Her hearing was
better. She could now control the elements. She went to the room
where the meeting was held and interrupted it. âLuca, I need to talk to
you with your granddad and the Old lady, Please.â
He ended the meeting and the four remained in the room. Luna
opened her hands and brought forth fire and water. She also told them
everything that she'd heard them discussing in the meeting. She told
them that her abilities got stronger when she and Luca got closer. The
old king marveled at this news. âThe prophecy has been fulfilled. The
goddess has found her soulmate. They must be married at the soonest.
That is the only way that all this will end. They need to find this witch
together and they are more powerful together.â The old lady said
The old King agreed. âYour uncle had told us about his family, about
your grandmother and her ancestors before her. He confided in us after
your abilities emerged. Which is why we were so happy that Luca and
you were mated. Luca wanted to keep it quiet since you were new to all
this. We are so sorry that you had to go through all this. Your uncle left
you in our care in case anything was to happen to you.â He explained.
âHow long have you known about this?â She asked.
âYour uncle brought an old scroll that had been passed down from
generation to generation in your family. He was unable to make sense
of it so he brought it to us. And the girl spoken about in the scroll is
you. It says that you were separated from your love in a meadow in a
past life and only when you found each other again will the great war
be averted.â The old lady explained.
"I recognize this,â she said as she looked at the scroll. âI had a dream
about Luca and me under a tree in a meadow under the full moon. I
think that's when she lost him, but I woke up. My abilities started to
emerge that night at the ball when I saw you with Nina. I was upset and
they emerged. I couldn't control it. But they got stronger after you told
me that you loved me, Luca.â
Luca's grandfather interrupted. âLuca, how do you feel since you met
Luna. Has anything changed?â Luca replied âI have been feeling a lot
stronger and faster. Nothing else.â The old lady kept insisting that Luna
and Luca would become stronger after they were one. She wanted
them to be married at the soonest and the old king agreed. The
wedding was discussed, and he sent word that they would marry in two
days. Luna could now know where Lydia was, and they could find her at
any time. They now had an advantage. All this would come to an end
soon.
