Chapter 191 

“I do. Even before she told us, I knew you and I were destined. Having her tell us this only cements 

that belief even more.” 

He smiles, leaning down to kiss me gently on the lips, 

“Since the very start, it was only you. Past or no past, nothing would’ve changed that.” 

He pulls from me to swipe a claw over his palm. Much like how we first stood here, he lets drops of his blood ink into the clear water until it dissolves. He looks over to me, a small smile never leaving is face as I hesitantly walk over to him. I felt slight fear in Ivory being wrong. My hopes, whether I did it intentionally or not, was high but I also knew that disappointment would be immense if she was wrong. My paranoia was something I couldn’t control. 

Lifting my hand over the pool, I dug my nails into my skin and watched two beads of my blood fall 

into the water. 

We all stood there in silence. 

Xavier and Violet were left at the Pack house but everyone else came with us. They all wanted to see if Ivory’s words were true. None of us too ready believe her until we saw it for ourselves. I swallowed down the heavy lump in my throat, my mind going blank as the water started to change. 

I could feel my heart racing, my blood pumping. Every atom in my body vibrated with excitement, fear, uncertainty. I couldn’t even feel Raizel stepping beside me until his hand made it to the small of my back. I was sure my eyes burned into the water. In fact, everyones did. I was surprised that it hadn’t evaporated from the heat of it all. 

Please. 

I chanted in my head. 

Slowly, ever so slowly, the clearness of the pool shifted to color. 

A color so pale you could miss it. 

Then it darkened just a little, 

and darkened again 

and darkened again,

until it just was. 

Blue. 

I let out a strangled breath, eyes flashing to Raizel who watched the Pool with slightly widened eyes, My wolf was overjoyed, prancing in my head and barking out her happiness, I couldn’t stop myself. My hands started to raise only to stop halfway when Raizel crushed my to his chest. His strong arms wrapped around me so tight it started to hurt, but I couldn’t care about that. Not when I felt his wolf 

nuzzle against mine. 

Not when he breathed me in so deeply and whispered those words that sent shivers of pleasure down my spine huskily, 

Mine. Entirely mine.” 

And I couldn’t help but smile at that, wrapping my arms around his and pressed my lips against his just as I repeated after him, 

“Mine.” 

The water turned blue. 

Time had stopped, everything faded into nothing until all I could focus on was her. Her breathing hitched, the sound of her slight gasp rings in my mind. 

Nothing anyone said would make it to my ears. The looks I’ve gotten from Weston, Emerson, or anyone else witnessing this was lost to me. I felt like the world I’ve always seen in black and white burst into vibrance. As if a bottle of paint had just been recklessly splattered on an empty canvas. A mix and variety of colors all at once coming to life at this revelation. That the unanswered questions that lingered in my mind no longer mattered. How could it possibly when everything I’ve ever wanted was right here? 

Everything except the woman standing beside me was irrelevant. 

Selene stares at the pool with the same shock as I did, but the shock wore off just as quick as it came. The sudden burst of joy that fizzed in the depths of my soul lit me up with electricity. The excitement of what this meant buzzed through my veins as I let out a ragged breath. This just seemed all too good to be true. Was this possibly the Goddess’s ploy? 

Was this a game? A sadistic joke she was playing on me? Could she really have decided to end my torment by allowing me this chance? I should’ve been more skeptical. I should’ve been mistrustful seeing as the shit the Goddess put my lineage through was nothing but torture. I should’ve been wary, but I couldn’t do it. I willingly believed it. Even if it would turn out to be a lie- a sick, beautiful 

I let myself believe.

hapte 

I would rather myself be a fool than to deny myself of this. 

My fingers twitched to touch her. 

Shamelessness be damned. 

Before she knew it, I’d swept her up in my arms. She flinched from surprise but quickly melted into my embrace with a sigh. Her head softly falling to my shoulder as she inhaled, finding as much comfort in my scent as I could offer her. Our wolves were ecstatic, running around before crashing into one another and rolling over the ground. The little grunts and barks that they let out of pure enjoyment resonates between us. The bond became much more than it was before, at the vet least 

between our wolves. 

he utter happiness they both radiated with could have lit up a dark room. The obvious bond they shared reflected in their eyes as they settled beside one another, nuzzling their heads together as my wolf licked her face. He expressed his contentment, demanding me to hurry and officially make her ours. Just the thought of it made me shiver in delight.
