Destined To Be Greatness novel Chapter 23

I sighed and shock my head, how could I possibly think that the moon goddess would guide me further? She's already warned me about the war, why would she help me again? I flopped down and rested my head on my paws. Hopefully, I will find the answers before everything starts.

My eyes started to droop as I lay on the ground under the moonlight. Before I slipped into a deep sleep I heard a soft velvet voice, "You will get your answers soon my child, but for now rest."

My eyes shut and I let the darkness consume me.

I was being repeatedly whipped lightly on my face. I used my paw to hit it away but it just kept coming back. My eyes fluttered open to see the tall grass swaying in the wind. Maybe it was that whipping me. It was peaceful here, nothing but the sounds of nature. I could here the birds singing, soft thuds of small creatures running around and the wind creating a small cooling breeze.

I decided to stay in the meadow for a while prancing around and chasing after butterflies. I felt so free without a worry or care in the world, it was great. But all good things must come to an end.

"Jay, it's Penny. Where are you?! We've all been so worried!" Penny shouted through the mind link.

"I'm fine Penny, I just needed time alone."

"It's okay. I understand you need time on your own but I really need you to come home now, we've got a few guests." She said the last bit with a slight hesitation. I wonder what's going on? There's only one way to find out. I started running off towards home.

When I reached home I went to the back door and pushed it open with my paws. I squeezed myself throw the door and headed upstairs to my room. Once I got to my room I shifted and quickly got a some clothes to change into. Now fully clothed I went back downstairs in search of Penny.

"Penny!" I shouted.

"In the kitchen!" She shouted back. I should've known she'd be there, she always is. When I got to the kitchen Penny was stood leaning up against Leon who had his arms wrapped around her, the triplets were sat around the table with Cameron, Adam and a couple of other people from their pack who I didn't recognize. Probably new members I thought.

"What's so urgent?" I questioned. "And where are the guests that you said we had?" I looked around the kitchen hoping to catch a glimpse of them.

"Oh, how could I forget? All these people here are our packs," he gestured to everybody standing around with keen eyes.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all and quite a surprise," I said honestly. "What are you all doing here?"

"We know about the war that is coming Jay." Alpha sage said.

"The moon goddess came to each of us in our dreams and told us everything, but also that we had to find you." Alpha Sam added. "I also think that we wont be the only ones turning up on your doorstep, there will most likely be others."

"I still don't understand," I said shaking my head, "why are you all looking for me?" There's no way that everybody could know about me and my powers.

"You are the legendary wolf that can control the element of fire, the wolf that is going to lead us all to victory." Alpha Dean smiled.
