Caged Between the beta & alpha

Bright light , that’s all I could see .

I couldn’t hear or feel anything … I opened my eyes and looking around , there was nothing but light .

It was dazzling , yet it didn’t hurt the eyes .

I was no longer in pain … I sat up slowly .

Where am I ? ” You are nowhere , just in – between life and death .

” A majestic voice came .

It was strong and beautiful , but it didn’t sound human .

A soft laugh filled the air and I realised something was forming in front of me .

A glowing outline of a tall woman with long hair … I had to look away .

Looking at her directly made the eyes sting due to the intensity of the light .

I didn’t need her to introduce herself to know who that was .

I lowered my head to her , not sure how to feel .

” ” Goddess … ”

” Indeed , my child .

” I could tell from her voice that she was smiling .

” I am proud of you ; you sacrificed your life for your brother .

” I frowned , everything returning to me .

” I don’t think he sees me as a brother anymore … I lost that right long ago .

” I said quietly .

She held her glowing hand out , her flowing white dress swaying in a non existent breeze .

I took it hesitantly , feeling a cooling smoothness wash over m e .

” It is in your blood to want your mate for yourself .

You are still brothers .

You are one pack , one family .

” She said , as I stood up , letting go of her hand .

That’s true , we are … ” To err is part of life … You broke the centuries – old curse , child ; one I knew you could .

Surprise rushed through me , and although I couldn’t hear it , my heart was thumping in my chest .

” The curse is broken ? ” ” You gave the gift of life , selflessly sacrificing your own for someone else , someone who has caused you great inner conflict .

You cast aside your bitterness and fought this darkness … ” ”

I stayed silent , remembering the curse and prophecy .

She laughed softly .
