The Crown

29 - Grace

The softness of the bed cacooned my body as I turn to face the window. Light was flowing in and a slight breeze circulated around, bringing a nice smell of flowers into the area.

I knew Caden was down in his office doing pack work for not only the pack we ran but for the packs in North America. Soon I would have to start learning how to read the monthly reports as well as other reports and expenses as the Queen. But for now all I needed to focus on was the baby and resting. Ruling a kingdom will come next after I make sure I was fot and that no harm will come to my pup. One made with love.

I was excited. I couldn't wait to plan the nursery and shop for cute little clothes. My baby would know everything about being loved.

'Grace' I froze. The voice from the corrination lingered through my mind as I rush out of the bed and stood, my eyes alert. A sinking feeling came over me as I turned around the room Caden and I shared. Our scents the only smell coming to me. Nothing was out of place but something was off.

'Grace nothing is over yet.' The voice floats around and I from. How would it look if I questioned the voice. I wanted to know what it meant but someone would mistake it as me being insane.

'You're right about that conclusion but all you have to do is form a mind link with me.' The voice chuckles, its musical tone soothing to my unease dread. So thats what I did. I thought about the voice. About reaching out a line to it and grasping firmly.

[H-Hello?] I question slightly, my body lowering onto the bed as I sat waiting with anticipation. How could anyone make a connection with something invisible. But things were still unclear to me as I closed my eyes and waited.

[Finally. For a Moon Blessed wolf you're a tough nut to crack.] The voice chuckles out again and I feel a blush heating my cheeks. This voice was the same female from last night. She was the one who kept finishing my sentences during my speach.

[I can also read minds.] It says and I feel like glaring at her. Maybe I was going crazy. Maybe I would make a terrible mother because of how insane I was sounding.

[You are not crazy.]

[How do you know?] I growl out, my hands gripping the bed.

[Because you were chosen to find the truth and fix everything.] The voice sounded exasperated by my outburst and embarrassment took a hold of me. I knew I was being a little childish. Even if this situation was absurd.

[What do you mean I would find the truth?] I asked cautiously. For all I knew it could be a witch trying to take hold of my mind. I heard the voice sigh again, knowing I compared it to a witch and could already feel the scolding I would get.

[I don't have time to scold you.] The voice growls out leaving me stunned.

[You were chosen to delve into the past of the werewolf race. Since the day your soul was created I have been watching you and your mate always find each other only to be ripped away when you come close to the truth.] Shock was the only thing crashing down in me with the revelation. It was like ice sliding through my veins as I took in a shakey breath to calm my nerves.

[What do YOU mean?] I question, my body moving to pace the length of the room.

[Just know that this is your third time since I created the werewolves for you to live and find the truth. Find what I had planned since the begining and set things right. But be warned the ones who always stopped you are watching. You already took down one threat of The Claw but now your real journy as Queen begins. Go to the place where you will see the original King and unlock the first key.] The voice left as I felt the link die down for now. I had learned many things from this.

First, I was Moon Blessed.

Second, I was talking to the Goddess herself.

And third, the castle held more threats and secrets that no one wanted to be heard and for some reason I had a feeling it linked back to The Run.
