Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 327

MADELEINE

I was looking in the books about my powers and felt Lily somewhere in the back of my head.

The pack had changed, like a life source had been taken from everyone, and it had. There had to be something I could do, and I don’t know what. I thought of Dad, and these powers had run in my family for many generations. Maybe he would know. I picked up my phone and called him.

“Madeleine, hello sweetheart,” Dad says, he must have seen my number on his phone.

“Hello, Dad, can I ask you something?” I ask.

“Yes, of course you can.” He answers.

I have been reading about my powers in the books. It says several times that nature is a lifeform. And I can wake dead trees and plants.” I begin and pause.

“I know what you're asking, and I expected that you would wonder about this. For us, wolves, nature is important. It’s where we live from birth to death. And then we get reborn.”

“But the Moon goodness,” I say.

“The moon goddess created us, yes, but not without knowing we had places where we could live and be what we are,” Dad says, and I am not entirely sure I understand.

“Dad, has anyone ever brought someone back from the dead?” I ask, and he gets very quiet.

“Dad?” I ask when he doesn’t say anything.

“Yes. It has happened before.”

“How?” I ask.

“I don’t know, I just know it has happened, several hundred years ago.”

“Okay, thank you, Dad. Talk to you soon.” I said, and we said our goodbyes.

It has been done before, so there had to be a way.

‘Let us go for a run.’ Lily says in my mind. And I know it’s been a long time, so maybe a run will clear my thoughts.

I walk to the forest and shift into Lily, and she starts running. I just let her run, and she knows where she can go. But I’m surprised when she runs straight to the moon lake.

‘Lily?’ I ask.

‘Just wait,’ She says, and I do as she says.

“Yes, but bringing her back won’t be for free.” She answers

“What is the cost?” I ask.

But she didn’t answer, so it could be anything, but I feel comfortable that it’s not my life, or I am sure she would say so. In the end, I know it is not only my choice, so I mindlink Lily wanting to hear what she thinks.

‘Lily?’ I ask silently.

‘I trust that you will make the right choice, no matter what.’ Is all she says.

I look at the moon, goodness, and I take my time to think. However, no matter which road my thoughts take, they always lead to the same place. And this world needs her. I lift my head and see the moon goddess standing there just waiting.

“Do it,” I say as I look at her, and I see a small smile on her lips.

“As you wish.” The moon goddess says, and slowly disappears.

Wait what? Is she just going? I need to know what to do, so I wait for over an hour, and nothing happens. I give up and go home. Noah isn’t back yet, so I go to bed, hoping that tonight was not a waste of time.

And I fall asleep not knowing what I have set in motion but hoping it will work. And more importantly, do I not have any idea about what is about to happen on this full moon?
