Chapter 6

My eyes slowly opened before closing quickly because of the meteoric pain that ran through my head. I moaned loudly, as I slowly straightened up by squeezing my head. Looking next to me, I saw that there was a glass of water, with a little pill and a little word from my mother.

"It will help you with your headache. Kisses.

Mom."

I smiled while taking the little pill with the water. Looking around me, I saw that I was in my new room. At first, I didn't remember how I got there, but then I remembered seeing my wolf shape.

I was still in shock, I mean, yes, we don't see many white wolves, but a white wolf with blue and bright

swirls? It was unprecedented. While I continued to question everything that had just happened, I didn't noticed that my brothers were slipping into my room.

"Hi, Belle. How do you feel? ", Ryan asked with concern as he approached me. He sat next to me on the bed and felt my head to see if I had a fever. I didn't know why he was doing it since I wasn't sick, but it doesn't matter.

"I have a little headache, but it's not too serious. How long have I been in bed?" I asked, looking up at Ryan with a little smile, trying not to moan because of another wave of pain that hit my head.

"Three days in fact. The Elders... they said it was normal for someone like you…”

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" I asked hastily. I had become nervous now. Something was wrong and, judging by the looks on their faces, I knew they knew about it, but they weren't going to tell me. Brandon didn't look at me in the eye, and Charles was trying to worry about something else. Ryan was the only one that spoke to me. They all knew that I was getting more and more nervous right now. It was obvious, because I could feel my hands starting to shake.

"Belle, calm down. The Elders will explain everything to you, but first you really need a shower. You really stink," joked Ryan, gently rubbing my back to try to calm me down. I appreciated his efforts, even if it was really difficult to hold my mind that was beginning to conjecture about what the Elders were going to tell me.

"I vote for you to take two baths, you smell horrible, little sister," joked Charles, after deciding to finally talk to me. I rolled my eyes towards him, pulling my tongue. I giggled even though it hurt and I watched them leave the room to give me time to prepare.

About twenty minutes later, I was finally clean. As I walked towards my suitcase, I noticed that it was empty. I went to the wardrobe and saw that all my clothes were there, tidy.

It was probably my mother who did it, I said to myself. I smiled and quickly took out a simple T-shirt, as well as a pair of denim jeans. I dressed quickly, brushed my hair and teeth and I was finally done. As I was about to open the door, I heard the voices of my brothers approaching, Ryan and Charles yelling at each other. When I opened the door, I saw Brandon leaning against the wall while Charles shouted after Ryan, saying that chocolate is more delicious than strawberry. Why did we have to be linked to these two idiots? Brandon looked at me rolling his eyes, before pushing them both to walk, which did not even end the argument.

As we crossed the castle, or the labyrinth as I saw it, we finally found ourselves near the large wooden doors. I was shaking, and it could be seen, but I could also feel my heart wanting to get out of my chest so much I was afraid to enter this room.

Diane,my she-wolf tried to console me by telling me that there was no problem and that everything would be fine. It helped me a little but I still felt my hand tremble slightly. I jumped slightly when the doors began to open. While swallowing, I entered with my brothers and parents who had just joined us, firmly shaking my mother's hand. But what I didn't expect when I entered was to see the Elders get up and then bow.

"Our Queen," they said with respect.

I was so confused before I understood. An idea came to my mind: the Goddess of the Moon. Oh no, the most powerful being was there. She ruled over all surnatural beings, with her Ancients as her right arm, as well as smaller leaders of each type of supernatural being. I searched the room with my eyes, and I didn't find anyone who could possibly be this woman. Finally, I gave up searching while the Elders were still there. I asked where she was and what I heard then made me want to faint again.

"Belle Johnson, you are the new, and soon, the future Goddess of the Moon. The one who claims victory in the coming war.” Are these Elders drugged or something like that?! I was not a Goddess of the Moon! And I, idiotic as I was, said the first thing that came to my mind.

"Okay, guys, you got me; I'm in a hidden camera show, aren't I?" I said laughing, even if there was panic in my voice. I turned to my family, waiting for them to confirm that it was a joke, but they just stayed there. I turned to the Elders, and they did the same.

"It's not a joke, Belle. Only the Goddess of the Moon has these blue swirls on her fur, proudly declaring her incredible powers that run through her veins," said one of the Ancients with a proud smile looking at me. What the hell is was happening?

This could not be true. He then explained a prophecy in which I appeared, while briefly explaining the powers I possessed.

So, I did what any normal person would do. I ran. Certainly, I ran to my room, but I think they understood. I was scared! I couldn't be the next Goddess of the Moon! I didn't even know there could be another one! I wasn't worthy; I didn't even have a companion! Lying on my bed, all I could do was sob. Everything that had happened this week was just too much, I couldn't stand it.

"Belle?” Shortly after, I heard Brandon's voice, but I knew that the other two were also with him.

"Go away! I whine in my pillow, not wanting to see anyone. I felt guilty about my words because my brothers and I were always there for each other, whatever the situation.

"No, now leave me alone!", I yelled at them. But the next moment, I immediately regretted telling them that. The only occasions I yelled at them was when they deserved it, but it was not one of those occasions.

"Belle, if you don't let us in, we'll start singing and we all know it, it won't be pleasant at all," said Ryan behind brandon, passing his head over Brandon’s shoulder. I shivered remembering the last time they tried to sing me songs to cheer me up. It ended up making me cry even more, it was so ugly. I sighed, then I invited them to come in. They came in staggering as Charles pushed the other two apart to rush towards me and hold me tightly in his arms. I moaned before starting to cry again.

"I'm scared, guys," I whispered softly, feeling the bed sag next to me and up to its feet. They continued to console me for a while, telling me how they were there for me in all circumstances. I believed them. Quite quickly, we started talking about other things and I was grateful that they helped me forget all these dramas. But it ended up getting serious when they asked me again about Edmond de la Combe, so I ended up explaining myself. The shock quickly turned into anger. They finally started saying how they were going to give up being his Betas, which I immediately hit on their heads.

"Yes, he did bullshit, but you worked too hard for that. You have gone too far and you are all made for this title. Don't let him down because he was a shitty companion for me.Do this for me, please?” They finally accepted, while promising to threaten Edmond again on their return. I smiled at them all and we finally stayed on lighter subjects.

We all relaxed before a messenger entered, stating that the Elders wanted to see me again if I was ready.I bit my lip. I wanted to say no, but Ryan encouraged me to do it, saying that they would be there for me as they had promised. I accepted and we left my room to return to the lobby once again. On entering, the Elders bowed once again, greeting me. I wasn't used to these inclinations; it was weird.

"I'm sorry I ran away. It was just a lot of information to accept", I said. Afterwards, I watched how they simply shrugged their shoulders. They led me to a large dining table, and placed me at the end of the table.

One of the Elders brought in a servant who carried voluminous and heavy books.He put them in front of me and my eyes widened.

“Belle, as we said earlier, you are part of a prophecy, but before discussing this, we must explain to you how it works. We are here to teach you, teach you to control your powers, teach you to fight both under the Wolf form and in human form.We must prepare you for the war that will come, in this war you will face the Vampire King who has turned his back on the current Goddess of the Moon. If he succeeds in killing you, he will gain all your powers and become unstoppable. Neither the current Goddess of the Moon nor we will not be able to defeat it. All this rests on your shoulders," they explained with serious expressions on their faces.

No pressure here, right?
