Faye

I took my head off the pillow and before I could stop myself; I let out a sob- “Why can’t we be together? Why must the moon goddess hate us? WHY CAN’T WE BE BLOODY HAPPY!?”, I ask as I’m bawling my lifeless eyes out.

“I don’t know those answers, Faye.”, Cam tells me.

Dropping my heavy-hearted body against Cam’s; Valentina begins to softly rub my back. They continued to comfort me until I felt a painful shock going through my body. I had a hard time breathing as the pain started to get worse. It felt like I had a bunch of daggers stabbing my back all at once. As the pain continued, my wolf, Alina, spoke to me softly.  “It’s alright, Faye. Let the darkness take over.” All I could do is let this evil spirit consume me. 

⁕ I wake up to see that I’m in the meadows, but something did not seem right.   I continued to look around when I felt soft hands touch my shoulder; Freaking out internally, I did not want to turn around.  The mysterious figure immediately spoke; “It’s just me, Alina.”

I smile and turn to face her. As I did that, I gave her a big hug.  I wasn’t sure what was happening, so I wanted to ask Alina. But before I could say  anything, I felt someone behind me.  We both turn around, gazing at this glowing figure. The Moon Goddess bestowed upon us.  Out of respect, I bowed to her. She seemed appalled, shaking her head in disgust. She went towards me and helped me get back up on my feet. Then she quickly turned her disgust into a soft smile. It seemed like her mood changed through a flip of a switch. I returned the favor rather timidly, as if I’m not sure what I am supposed to do.  Sniffing the air, I soon realized that Kevin was also here; turning around, I saw Kevin with two other people.They were carrying him like a wounded soldier looking for shelter. It was clear that Kevin was brutally injured. I couldn’t contain myself. I loved him with all of my heart. Nothing held me back as I quickly ran over to his direction and gave him a big hug. I turned towards my wolf and the moon goddess to see her hugging the two guys. After the reunion, the moon goddess says, “Hello, Kevin. I do apologize for making you and Faye go through the pain, but I must speak with the two of you.” 

“What do you mean, moon goddess?”, I asked.

“It’s simple my dear, you will end up being pregnant as time goes on. On the second attempt of pregnancy, you two won't be able to be in their life.”, the moon goddess tells us

“So what you are saying is we will have kids in the future, but we are supposed to not take care of them?”, I asked disturbingly. 

“Precisely. You must acknowledge that this is for the best.  You aren’t fully aware of the power that lies within you. You may be a beta right now, but in reality, you will end up becoming the queen of the vampdragons. Your mate will stand proudly as a king in his own right, but his  father will not be informed of this information. Not until you turn eighteen at that, but no matter who has the title, they won’t gain any powers.”, she explains to us.

“So, can we be together or not?”, Kevin asks 

“That-”

“In a sense, we can be together. But, because of our second child, we can’t be together.”, I say.

“Correct!”, she says happily.

“Why us?”, I ask.

“Well, it's pretty self-explanatory, but I’ll let your sides explain it.”, she says while turning toward our creatures.

“Right, Faye, my name is Zaff and I’m Kevin’s vampire.”

“I’m Dikais, and I’m his dragon.”

“Hello, Kevin, my name is Alina.”

“We are… we are descendents… from the first vampdragon werewolf mates.”, they say excitedly.

Me and Faye stay completely silent  as we wait for them to continue. “This may come as a shocker, but please ask questions at the end.”, Zaff tells us.

“Like we said before, we're descendants from the first vampdragon werewolf mate. I know this is hard to digest. None of you know about them because they took it out of history books a long time ago.”, Alina continues.

“There have been multiple attempts from the previous mates to have a kid. At one point, they were able to have a kid. But unfortunately, the child passed away at an early age. Once everyone found out that there was an attempt to have a mixed breed, many have tried and failed. The vampdragons and werewolves would kill their own.”, Dikais says.

“We know exactly what you two are wondering. Why does it have to be us? Why can’t we just be together with our mates?  And that answer is because of yourselves.”, they say together. 

I look at them in confusion. And then suddenly there’s a text floating; it reads: To the future vampdragon and werewolf's mate; we hope you will have better luck than we did. There is so much we need to tell you, but let's start from the beginning- My name is Martin and I'm a vampdragon while my dragon's name is Dikais and my vampire name is Zaff. My mate's name is Agatha, and she's a werewolf. Her werewolf name is Alina; throughout the years vampdragons and werewolves could never be together, but I wanted that to change. So I set out to look for my mate. Agatha wasn’t my first mate; in reality, it was a woman who goes by Valeena, who was a witch. But she falls in love with a werewolf; I wasn’t mad at her, but it sucked that I wouldn’t have a mate until she gave me the werewolf’s old mate. It thrilled me to have a mate again, so I searched for them; it took me many months, and when I found her; she was a werewolf, but I didn’t mind. We had lots of difficulties since her pack hated vampdragons; little by little, we could be together. That was until she fell pregnant; everyone wanted to know if they were a vampdragon or a werewolf, but never if they were both, which for us was bad because they constantly killed our babies. Agatha fell into despair and soon after she killed herself. After weeks, I followed behind from a broken heart. The witch that was originally my mate told me a prophecy:

A young vampdragon and a young werewolf will fall as mates and they will have children, but they won’t be able to raise one of them since they were both. But because they couldn’t raise them, they grew to see all creatures as equals, and from there they changed the world.

It surprised me that I could read the text. As I’m opening my mouth, I see the moon goddess about to speak, so I close it.

“You may wonder why you have the ability to  read that text since it wasn’t in English. That’s because you have a unique ability, or otherwise called, a native tongue. The language that appeared is known as Dovahzul.  Cam, Christian, Valentina, Jaylen, and Rave are the only ones who understand Dovahzul. The reason you have this ability is because it will help you gradually in the future. I know it’s a lot to take in, but please know that this is the only way.”, she explains.

Everyone was silent as we let everything sink in. And once it did, my eyes went wide before glancing toward Alina, then Zaff, and Dikais. I notice Zaff and Dikais with  tears coming down. Then I looked toward Kevin, and he had tears running down his eyes as well.  So I made my way towards him and hugged him. As I’m holding on to him, he bursts into tears; hearing him break like this is more painful than what I went through before coming here. Before long we fall asleep once again.⁕ 

I wake up to the smell of my mate; he has this weird natural smell to him, similar to how a rainforest would smell after a rain shower. Taking a look around, but I didn’t see him. I shook my head while getting dressed for school. I made it to the kitchen to hear Valentina and another witch talking. 

“Reject that stupid mutt and curse this bloody pack already! You’ll be weaker if you stay with them… that disgusting mutt and his pack!”

“ENOUGH MOTHER! I don’t understand where you are coming from.  I get if grandma was telling me this because her mate was a HUMAN! Dad is a Wizard, and he’s still alive!”, Valentina tells her mother.

“You are making a stupid decision. ”, her mother tells her.

“That’s enough, Selena.”, another witch says.

“But-”

“Enough!”

I walk into the kitchen to see three witches and my pack. They were standing there in complete silence like statues in a museum. It seemed like they didn’t hear the conversation, they just wanted to budge in to see what was going on.  I quickly glance at Christian and Cam. They sat by a nearby table trying to eat their food as quietly as humanly possible.  They were the only ones that heard their conversation. I decided that I wanted to sit with them despite the awkward tension that filled the room. Before I could grab some cereal, a random girl entered the kitchen. 

“Hello there, Faye, was it?”, the girl asks.

I didn’t answer her and continued to make my breakfast; I was heading to the fridge just as she raised her voice.

“Are you not going to answer my question?”

“Yes… but I didn’t see why I had to answer you.”, I state bluntly.
