8.

"I was hoping you could help me when the time came to become Luna."

"Are you out of your absolutely ditzy, airheaded, idiotic, F-up mind? I'm not helping you, even if my life depended on it! I'm doing nothing for you! Go away!" She pouted and stared for a minute.

"Uh, you heard Winter right?" Alexis asked, glaring at my sister. " Be gone witch."

"Fine..." She shut the door and disappeared just like that.

"Was I too mean?" I asked, staring at the door.

"Too mean? Hell no! You have every right to be pissed!"

"It's not really their fault though. I mean they can't help that they were mated. That's something that's determined before we're born."

"They didn't have to rub it in the way they did. They could have done it privately like you're supposed to. I mean we're wolves, we're not uncultured animals. Some things are meant to be done in private and they knew it."

"I guess." I poured more champagne and sipped it slower. I still felt a little bad for yelling at Summer.

"What are you going to do with two weeks of nothing?"

"I don't know. Travel around the packs? Experience life a bit."

"Find your mate?" she asked, nudging me. I smiled a bit.

"No. I don't even want to think about that right now. I think just doing some traveling will do me good. I have been having this weird feeling lately. Like something is not right."

"Okay, weird."

"There's something else." I pushed my hair out of my face and showed her the moon and all its details on my forehead.

"Okay, that's weird. What is that?"

"This is going to sound so incredibly crazy and insane. I'm still not sure if it's real, or I was hallucinating."

"Okay."

"When I shifted, I went into this black void. The Goddess Artemis was there."

"I'm sorry...what?"

"I'm not finished. And that's not even the craziest part."

"There's more?"

"Uh, yeah, Alexis." Her eyes were as wide as saucers.

"So, she approaches me and tells me something, get this, I'm her daughter."

"We're all Artesia's daughters and sons."

"No, like her legit daughter. Her child."

"What?"

"Right?" I asked.

"How? You and Summer are twins."

"That's where I was confused. But goddess Artesia said that since mom was pregnant with Summer at the time, it was easy to put me there. Since she's a goddess she couldn't give birth to earthly children. She said something bad was coming and wanted her child to help save the packs. So she placed me in my mother's womb, and I was born as a human."
