Catch Her By Her Scent novel Chapter 11

"OK everyone needs to calm down and take a breath. What she has said does make a bit of sense and I think I know what he wants and what he thinks is going to happen, but I have to do some research first with the pack scribe in the library. While I am there get the packs gathered and no one is to leave the grounds until after this is over. Get some people to get blankets and pillows. We will meet back in this tent at seven o'clock tonight to make a plan."

Everyone nodded and started to disperse to do the jobs he gave to them. Max and I were about to head out of the tent when the Alpha King called us back inside for a moment.

"What is your name little girl?"

"I am Sophia, Alpha"

"Sophia I want you back here at six thirty, with Maximum to discuss some things before the meeting. Are we clear?"

"Yes sir,"

"Ok then you can relax for now, but I will expect you guys back here at six thirty and no later."

Max and I then left, he went to help the other alphas to help organize everything. Since the King told me to relax I planned on doing just that and taking advantage of it while I can. I went a little ways into the woods and found a lake on the edge of the property. Lucky for me this is just what I needed to get rid of my stress and forget my worries for a few minutes.

I stripped and got into the water, it was just the right temperature for me. I floated on my back for awhile then I started swimming laps in the water. I did that until I felt tired and decided to just float in the middle of the lake until it started to get dark at five.

I was floating peacefully when I felt like I was being watched I turned in a circle looking for any peeping toms trying to get a free show out of my afternoon dip, but didn't see anybody. I started to wade toward the shore when I heard a splash in the water behind me. I turned back around, but didn't see any disturbance in the water besides the ripples.

"Who are you and how are you in my dream?"

She smiled and answered me, "I am here because you died and this let me come and talk to you. From now on you will be able to talk to me because once you have a connection to the other side you can never lose it, and before you freak out you aren't going to be dead for long, so we don't have a lot of time for our little conversation. As for who I am I thought that would be obvious, but I guess it's just me and my idea that these situations are always like the cliché movies. I am the Moon Goddess and I am here to tell you about your history and your future."

I stare at her in shock. When I imagine the Moon Goddess I thought that she would always be in luxurious dresses, lined with every gem known to man with a crown made of diamonds. I think I like this better though, she looks beautiful, but at the same time approachable and relatable.

"So what does my destiny have in store for me..." I trailed off because I didn't know what I should call her and I didn't want to offend her.
