NovelBarChapter 45
Emery
It’s been hours since anybody has been here and I really need to use the bathroom, so
when the door opens and a woman walks in, I sigh in relief. But before I can even ask
about relieving myself, she sneers at me. She doesn’t say any- thing as she walks back
and forth in front of me with a look of disgust plastered to her face. She looks to be about
my par- ents age, so I can’t say that maybe she’s a jealous female. She looks familiar,
though, and I realize that I’m staring at the witch’s mother.
“So, you’re the little b*tch that my son has been hot for all these years?” Her words are
laced with repugnance as her eyes sweep over me, “I’ve told him that it isn’t natural, that
he needs to find someone not of the same blood as that traitor brother of his, but he
wouldn’t listen. What Colin wants; he al- ways gets. I guess that is my fault, though, for
spoiling him as a child.”
Enter title...
Did she say years? Has he been lusting after me all this time? My stomach begins to
turn once again, but then as she continues to talk, I not only learn my uncle’s name, but I
caught on to the meaning behind her words. She’s not dis- gusted that I’m related by
blood, only that I have the same blood as my father, who in the eyes of the Shikari, is a
traitor. What the f*ck is wrong with these people?
her.
“May I use the bathroom.” I ask without even looking at
Her laughter says it all, “Do I look like a f*cking se*vant to you? I’m not here to help you
in any way. I only came to see the b*tch that will soon be laying on her back, spreading
her legs for my son night after night.”
“I will never allow that piece of s*it to touch me in that way; he’s disgusting, and so are
you if you are condoning it!” I spat.
Pain spreads across my face as the woman back hands me, “How dare you say that
about my son?” She then kicks me in the ribs and continues to kick me until I’m no
longer mov- ing, and my bladder releases its contents, “Ugh, you are f*ck- ing pathetic! I
hope you enjoy sitting in your filth because no- body will be in anytime too soon to help
clean you up.”
I watch her walk towards the door and I curse her under my breath. I don’t know if K*ki
will be able to heal me, every- thing is so up in the air over here that I really don’t know
where to start on my plan to escape either. This witch is pow- erful for sure, but I know
me, and my mates are more power- ful. If only I can figure out a way to tune in to the
Power of Four in some way.
will stop at nothing to free my- self. I think this to myself as I drift off to sleep still laying
on the floor and in pain. Maybe this isn’t sleep, though, but the end, I muse, knowing full
well that it isn’t true, but I smile all the same as darkness takes me.
I open my eyes and right away I realize that something is amiss, I’m no longer in the
room that Colin placed me in, and I’ m now wearing a violet flowy dress. I’m in a field, by
a small
lake, and it reminds me of the field back home. The field that me and the guys always
played in as children while our moth- ers sunbathed under the bright sun.
Suddenly, K*ki appears on the other side of the lake and begins running around it to get
to me. I get up and start to run towards her as well. I’ve never experienced this before,
never have I seen K*ki look so majestic as I see her right now. I’ m panting as I come to a
stop before her, and I have to put my head back in order to look at her. I didn’t know how
big she truly was in wolf form.
ww.ww
I reach out my hands and she dips her head, so I can reach her. Running my hand
through her soft fur, I smile at the beauty of her, “How can this be, K*ki? Am I dead? Did I
tru- ly die?”
She chuckles, shocking me, even though it shouldn’t, “Of course, you’re not dead, silly
human! You’re in a dream state, but this,” she looks around us, “is all real.”
“But how?”
“Because I brought you here, Emery.” I glance behind K*ki and see a stunning woman,
with long blonde hair and skin that is perfection.
I’ve heard of her many times, but I never thought that I would ever see the Moon
Goddess in my lifetime, afterlife, yes, but not until then. “Selene?”

“In the flesh.” She giggles.
“You are so...beautiful!”
“You are too kind, Emery. You are the beautiful one, little
wolf.” She winks as she uses Holden’s nickname for me.
“I miss them, Selene! How do I get back to them?”
She reaches her hand out and I take it as we begin to walk, “Emery, do you know why I
chose three mates for you?”
“Because you needed the Power of Four?” I reply.
“Well, yes,” she chuckles, “But more importantly, I knew you would be needing saving. I
knew this day would come and that your mates would need to come for you. It’s going to
take more than one mate to save you. I need you, Emery, you are the heart of the Power
of Four, and the most important.”
plans?” I ask excitedly.
The Moon Goddess looks at me sympathetically, “I can’t promise you that, but I can tell
you that your mates will come for you. I came here to remind you that you have the
power, along with your mates, to do what needs to be done. All you have to do is figure it
out. I will be here helping you but only for a certain length of time. You will have from the
time the full moon peaks, and until it begins to descend once again. Only during that
time will your magic be able to break through all wards that have been placed to keep
you here.”
“So, you will allow my uncle to...” I can’t even finish my sentence because it disgusts me
so much.
“I can only interfere so much, Emery. I can give you bits and pieces as how to help
yourself, but I can’t do it for you. What I can tell you is that you are a very strong witch
and she- wolf; use it to your advantage.” The Goddess states.
“But I have this st*pid collar on, preventing me from using my magic.” I remind her.
Her smile is warm, considering my circumstances, “Yes, it’ s preventing you from using
your magic within yourself, but you do have the power to overcome certain obstacles.
Use it, and you will be able to prevent a lot.” The Moon Goddess stops and then runs her
hand through K*ki’s fur, “It was so nice to see you again pretty girl, I’ve missed you.”
“You knew my wolf?” I ask astonishingly.
Selene giggles, “I’m the one that gives you your wolves, silly girl, of course, I would know
your wolf, but K*ki here, she was my personal companion for many years. When it was
time for the Power of Four to come into play, she volunteered to be your wolf.” She
places a kiss to K*ki’s snout when my wolf dips her head, “Take care of her for me, she’s
just as impor- tant to me as Tala was before the Queen got her.”
My eyes widen with all the knowledge that the Goddess is passing on to me, “Can you.
stay a while and talk with me; tell me a little more of what is expected of me and my
mates?”
“I can’t, I’m sorry. Even now, I am being called away, but know this, you and your three
mates are coming along very well. I’ve put my trust in the four of you, and I know you will
do me proud; I very seldom make mistakes.” She chuckles.
“But...”
“Goodbye, Emery. Remember everything that I’ve told you, it’s important.” Selene smiles
and then she’s gone.
K*ki nudges me, “Let’s go kick some a*s, shall we?” With- out another word, she takes
off the way she came just as the

field and the lake begin to disappear and I’m waking up in my prison once again.
