Chapter 2: The Garden of the Moon Goddess

As I took in my surroundings, I realized that I was no longer in the alpha king's mansion. Instead, I found myself in a stunning garden filled with exotic flowers of every hue. The air was thick with the scent of jasmine and roses, and I felt a sense of calm wash over me.

"Welcome, child," a voice called out, causing me to turn around. Standing before me was a woman unlike any I had ever seen before. She was tall and graceful, with flowing silver hair that shimmered in the sunlight. Her skin was the color of moonlight, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

"Who are you?" I asked, still in shock from what had just happened.

"I am Selene, the Moon Goddess," she replied, her voice gentle and soothing. "And you, my dear, are in the Garden of the Moon."

I gazed at her in awe, unable to believe what was happening. The Moon Goddess was a figure of legend, worshipped by my ancestors for centuries.

"Why am I here?" I asked, my voice trembling.

Selene smiled. "You have been chosen, Yennifer," she said. "Chosen for a great destiny."

I frowned, confused. "What destiny?" I asked.

"You are a child of the moon," Selene explained. "A rare gift given only to a select few. And now, it is time for you to embrace your true nature and fulfill your purpose."

I didn't know what to say. I had never heard of being a child of the moon before, and I had no idea what it meant.

Selene seemed to sense my confusion. "Let me show you," she said, gesturing towards a nearby pool.

I followed her to the pool and peered into the water. At first, all I saw was my own reflection, but as Selene began to chant, the water rippled and changed.

I watched in amazement as my reflection transformed. My eyes, which had always been brown, turned a brilliant silver. My hair, which had been a plain brown, turned a deep shade of blue.

"What's happening?" I asked, amazed.

Selene smiled. "You are embracing your true nature," she said. "You are becoming one with the moon."

As I watched, the transformation continued. My skin began to glow with a soft, silvery light, and I felt a surge of power within me, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

"Now, Yennifer, I have brought you here for a reason," Selene said, her voice serious. "There is a great threat to our world, a curse that must be broken. And I believe that you are the one who can break it."

"What curse?" I asked, my heart racing.

"The curse of the demon king," Selene replied. "For centuries, he has ruled over our world with an iron fist, spreading fear and destruction wherever he goes. But there is one thing that he desires more than anything else - a child of his own. And yet, he is cursed. He cannot bear a child unless he finds true love."

I gasped, unable to believe what I was hearing. "What can I do?" I asked.

"You must find the one who can break the curse," Selene said. "The one who can love the demon king for who he truly is, and not for his power or his wealth. And you, Yennifer, are the only one who can find her."

"How?" I asked, feeling overwhelmed.

"Through your connection to the moon," Selene replied. "As a child of the moon, you possess a unique ability to see into the hearts of others, to understand their true nature. You must use this gift to find the one who can break the curse."

"I will do whatever it takes," I said, determined to fulfill my destiny.

"I know you will," Selene said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "And know that you will not be alone. I am with you always, and the power of the moon will guide you."

As she spoke, I felt a warmth spread through me, and I knew that I was not alone. I had the strength and guidance of the Moon Goddess behind me.

"And now, my child," Selene said, her voice fading away. "It is time for you to wake up."

With those words, the garden disappeared, and I found myself back in my own body, lying in my bed. For a moment, I was disoriented, unsure if what had just happened was real. But as I looked down at my hands, still glowing with moonlight, I knew that it was.

The demon king's curse weighed heavy on my mind, and I knew that I had a difficult journey ahead of me. But I was determined to do whatever it took to break the curse and bring peace to our world.It 

I closed my eyes, letting the warmth of the moon's power wash over me, and I knew that I was ready for whatever lay ahead.

As I opened my eyes again, I realized that the Alpha king was by my side. With him beside me, I felt safe and protected. However, my relief was short-lived when I saw a note on my bedside table.

"Meet me at the palace tomorrow morning. We have much to discuss."

I frowned, wondering what the Alpha king wanted to talk about. Had he somehow discovered my connection to the Moon Goddess and my destiny?

Despite my curiosity and apprehension, I couldn't ignore his summons. The rest of the night was spent in restless anticipation as I tried to prepare myself for whatever lay ahead.

As the sun began to rise, the Alpha king and I made our way to the palace. My heart pounded with nervousness, and I had no idea what to expect. But with the Alpha king by my side, I felt a sense of strength and courage.

What was the Alpha king going to tell me? What was my destiny, and how could I break the curse of the demon king? The answers lay ahead, but I couldn't shake the feeling that danger and darkness awaited me.
