She immediately turned away from the pavilion after realizing that she was once again catching the attention of the other goddesses that went out of the pavilion and ran towards the direction heading to the Pond of Living.
The Pond of Living is the portal that the Goddess of Goodwill uses to communicate well with the enchantresses. It was actually forbidden for young goddesses and even to some other full-grown goddesses as well but she was feeling extra lonely tonight. She was sure that the Goddess of Goodwill was still inside the pavilion, having fun with the others so no one else would know that she had sneaked in.
She carefully looked around before she sat by the pond where she can hear endless chants and voices of enchantresses addressing the concerns of their people.
Amira stared at the rippling waters that showed the reflection of the glowing fireflies above it. Her forehead creased as she bit her lower lip as she thinks of a way to figure out how this communication tool actually works. She lost track of time as she works out everything she could think of to connect with someone.
“Goddess Celestia’s all over the place to look for her. She even asked the young goddesses to help search for Goddess Amira,”
Amira’s eyes widened after she heard the familiar voice of Goddess Agatha, the Goddess of Goodwill. She was talking to her daughter Goddess Elpis, the Goddess of Hope.
“I hope she’s doing alright. Maybe she just fell asleep somewhere? She wasn’t used to crowded places since Goddess Celestia secluded her,” Agatha said, her voice laced with worry.
“I’m sure Goddess Amira is doing alright, Mother. The stars are with her, she will never lose her way,” Elpis said as she comforted her mother.
Meanwhile, Amira was currently in a dilemma. There was nothing and nowhere she could hide. She turned around and saw two approaching shadows heading her way.
She looked around once more and closed her eyes tightly after her eyes fell on her reflection on the pond. She took a deep breath as she heard the voices getting nearer and before the two goddesses see her, she already dived into the water.
Her eyes widened and she opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out of her lips as she felt her whole body being sucked by a strong force beneath her and she just found herself falling.
Amira gasped as she paddled her feet up after feeling the shortness of breath. She was panting hard as she tried to catch her breath after resurfacing from the water. She can feel the rapid beating of her heart.
Her eyes were all around the place as she tried to take in the foreign surrounding. She tried to recall what happened but all she could remember was that she jumped into the Pond of Living, got sucked up by something, and then, she was falling.
How did she end up in the water?!
She turned around and her eyes bulged as she saw a tall guy standing and staring at her.
“Who are you?!” she shrieked in panic.
“Don’t be afraid! I won’t hurt you!” The guy said as he sat on the ground with his arms raised in a surrendering manner.
She stared at the guy standing before her. He’s probably a bit taller than her, the hair knot behind his head was eye-catching, but what really caught her attention was his glowing eyes.
Amira and Morgan remained still while staring at each other. They were memorizing each other’s features and were working on getting used to each other’s presence.
“Your eyes were glowing,” Amira pointed out as she stared at his bright eyes.
“Yours too,”
“I’m a Goddess of Love and Light. Of course, my eyes would glow,” she said chuckling, but it only made Morgan’s eyes bulged. He suddenly remembered Drake’s lessons about having a connection with the goddess.
Misfortune?
He was about to take a step back when he saw her staring at his feet. As if wondering what he would do, so instead of backing out, he stood up straight and walked up to the falls instead. He walked around the lake and went near her and offered his hand to help her get out of the water.
Amira was hesitant to take his hand but still ends up accepting his help. He took off the flannel polo he was wearing and let it rest on her shoulders as he guided her away from the falls so that they can talk properly without the loud noise of the water gushing to interrupt them.
“Hi, I’m Morgan.” Morgan introduced shyly while offering his hand in front of the beautiful woman.
“Morgan? That’s a nice name,” she said.
“I guess. But maybe yours was better?” He asked while gesturing to his hand that remained hanging.
“Oh!” She exclaimed before she frantically accepted his hand afraid that she would freak out the first creature who ever initiated a talk with her.
“I’m Amira.” She introduced with a bright smile.
Morgan was mesmerized as he stared at the goddess’ charming face. Her long damped golden locks fell down to her waist and her very fair complexion accentuated her bright amber eyes and thin lips.
“You’re so pretty…” he said and reached to touch her cheeks.
Amira just found herself closing her eyes as she felt the first warm touch on her skin.
All her life, all the warmth she received came from the stars. It was her first time to feel something that warm and it was immediately engraved in her mind and heart.
She opened her eyes when she felt him take his hand away.
“I’m sorry…” Morgan apologized while looking down.
“It’s alright,” Amira responded with a smile before she looked up into the sky and frown when she saw the moon.
“Do you mind if I ask you something?” Amira turned to look at him again after she heard him ask. Morgan took her silence as permission to go on.
“I… Are you really the Moon Goddess?”
Amira stared at Morgan for a while before nodding with a hesitant expression on her face.“I am a moon goddess. But who exactly are you looking for?” she asked, completely puzzled.“Huh? Aren’t you the only one?” Morgan asked back while they were walking away from the falls. Amira shook her head while chuckling as she held Morgan’s clothes closer to her body as she felt the cold breeze of the wind. Morgan saw her do that and immediately thought of how he could help her warm up without scaring her.“Our packhouse is a bit too far from here,” Morgan informed as he stopped walking. Amira was already a few steps ahead of him when she realized that he had stopped. She turned around and looked at him questioningly. She was wondering if she did something wrong.Morgan gulped as he struggled to stop himself from being mesmerized by her beauty. He subtly heaved a deep breath before smiling at her.“My fa
In Bulan, the once joyful celebration turned into chaos as the goddesses run back and forth the whole place to look for the daughter of the Goddess of Love. Celestia felt terribly worried when her daughter didn’t come back hours after excusing herself to get something to drink. And now that she’s nowhere to be found the whole Bulan was in a quest to search for the young goddess.While everyone was busy looking for Amira, the Goddess of Goodwill, Agatha, and her daughter, Elpis was already contemplating what they should do. They saw the young goddess jumped into the Pond of Living which scared them so much.No one else knows that the Pond of Living is a direct portal into the living realm. It was only the Goddess of Goodwill who was in charge of the pond, her daughter, and the highest goddess which is the Goddess of Love. And now her daughter jumped off into the portal and the mother-daughter duo didn’t know what they should do.They looked down
Calliope slumped herself down the couch as she felt her knees weakening. She took a few heavy breathes before she turned to the head enchantress once again.“I just don’t understand…” She uttered weakly.“Why does it always have to be him?”“Can’t my son live normally?” she asked while sobbing.Enchantress Inessa’s heart clenched as she watched the luna weeping. Although they were not yet sure of what really happened, she was sure enough, it was nowhere good.“I don’t know too, Calliope. This… this is not what I had envisioned when he was born.” The enchantress uttered as she turned to the huge window which shows the bright moon that lights up the midnight sky.Meanwhile, Alpha Romero and his men scattered along the forest in search of his son.“Mind link us immediately if you find him! If he’s in a rather dangerous state, immediately con
In Bulan, Agatha and Elpis were watching the people searching the forest. Agatha was extremely worried and was already walking back and forth around the pond.“Mother,” Elpis called out after finally making up her mind.Agatha stopped pacing and turned to her daughter with questioning eyes.“I made up my mind.” She announced as she stood by the pond and stared at the rippled reflection in front of her.“I’ll go down and fetch the young goddess.” She said with full conviction.“But Elpis!”“Mother! Goddess Amira is young and naive. She won’t survive it down there. Let me go down and get her.”“But Goddess Celestia—”“That’s why we need you to cover for us, mother,” Elpis said seriously.Elpis had always pitied that young goddess. She can see how Amira envied the other goddesses her age who can freely walk and play a
Morgan turned to look at the enchantress after hearing her words.“What… How… How did that happen?” His mother asked. Calliope felt like she would collapse on the ground after hearing the enchantress’ words.“You… you told us that he would be the strongest—the greatest alpha ever born. How… How can he lost his wolf?” she asked tears streaming down her face. When Morgan saw his mother crying he wiped away his own tears and embraced his mother tightly.“Stop crying, Mama. I’ll be alright…” Calliope's sobs escaped as soon as his son comforted her. Morgan turned to the enchantress with a serious expression.“What are you talking about, Enchantress Inessa?” he asked.The enchantress stared at him and sighed heavily as she remembered the vision she had seen just after she held his hands.Morgan was helping a faceless woman out of the water, and the
Morgan can't sleep. The enchantress' words keep on repeating inside his mind. He was tossing and turning around his bed but later on finally decided to give up trying to get some sleep. He sat up from his bed and turned to the mirror placed in one corner of his room.He stared at it for a while, waiting for his eyes to glow just like usual. Only that it didn't.While he was washing up earlier, he realized that his eyes had changed. Of course, he panicked. After all those warning stares and haunting words from the enchantress, who wouldn't freaked out?But he just can't bring himself to think that it was all because of Amira.That innocent goddess.He sighed before getting out of his bed and wore a shirt before getting out of his room.Morgan went to the kitchen where he found his best friend, Oliver who was busy washing the pile of dishes the pack had used earlier. He sighed heavily which caught the young omega's attention.Oliver tur
Amira sadly stared at the red cloth in her hands. Goddess Elpis had to literally drag her as they avoided the eyes of the other goddesses that were walking around.“Amira!” Elpis called out in a whisper. Amira immediately clutches Morgan’s polo closer to her body as she worked hard to focus on hiding.Amira heard Goddess Elpis sighed in relief as they arrived at their own fortress. She immediately looked down to avoid the gaze of the goddess of hope who turned around to face her.“You should never do that again, Goddess Amira,” Elpis said in a soft tone in order to not scare the young goddess.Amira felt her heart wavered as she listened to the light scolding the goddess was giving her. She knew that what she did was wrong. She broke a lot of rules too. But she just can't say that she regretted doing all of that when she knew to herself that it was the first time she felt what freedom is.In that short span of time tha
“Happy birthday, Morgan!” Rissa greeted as she handed him a medium-sized box wrapped in fancy paper. Morgan simply thanked her as he subtly took a step back, avoiding her obvious advances. He heaved out a sigh of relief as soon as he saw Dmitri, Rissa’s father, and his father’s beta approached them. “Rissa,” the beta called out in a warning voice before he subtly turned to Morgan apologetically. His bratty daughter just rolled her eyes before walking away. “I’m sorry about that. I bet she’s making you uncomfortable again,” Dmitri said apologized as he raised his hand and placed it on Morgan’s shoulder. “Happy birthday.” The beta greeted sincerely. “Thank you.” He answered. “I can only testify how proud your father is to have you as his son.” “As I am, Dmitri. I am so blessed to have this pack as my family.” “Look at you talking like an alpha already!” Dmitri teased to which Morgan responded with a polite smile.
