Surrogate For Alpha Dom

Chapter 393: Do You Know what I Know?

Cora

“What?” I ask, confused. I – I have a gift? I quickly search for it within myself

but….it’s not there. I mean, I know how Ella’s feels – she passed it to me before,

I carried it – but there is nothing in me now that feels anything like that…

“Yours is different from your sisters,” the Goddess explains. “Ella’s soul is that of

a healer, and so that is her gift. Yours,” she smiles lightly, “reflects you. You’ve

used it before,” she says, turning her head to glance at Roger with a little laugh.

“I’m surprised you did not notice it then.”

“What?” I ask again, still baffled. But she turns to go and I grab for her hand.

“Please,” I say, shaking my hand, “I don’t understand -”

“Perhaps you should ask your sister for help,” the Goddess says with a shrug.

“She can guide you to it, I think, as hers is already unlocked. But you already

have your gift, Cora.” She assures me. She hesitates then before laughing a

little, “as does your child.”

“What!?” I say for the third time, my mouth falling open now as I stare at her and

then glance down at my stomach before looking back up into her face. ” My

child -”

“All your children,” she says simply, as if it’s obvious, “will be gifted, as you are,

as Ella is. As you, my daughters, are gifts to me – it is my gift to you, and to all

of your children.”

“Whoa,” Roger says, sitting back in his chair and raising a hand to his head in

shock. “All…all are kids are going to be magic?”

The Goddess laughs a little. “Each will be gifted,” she says simply, turning back

to me. “And each gift will be unique, and will reflect each child’s unique spirit. As

yours does, as Ella’s does. They’ll all have pieces in common but -” she sighs

happily now, shaking her head as if it’s too complicated to explain. “You will see,

Cora. I need not explain it all. Your children will show you.”

“Thank you,” I whisper.

“I love you,” the Goddess says, raising her hand and brushing my cheek with

her fingertips. “Carry that knowledge your whole life. I will see you again,” she

promises, and I cling to that prophecy just a little, “but until then carry my love.”
