Episode 2

...I'm wandering through the forest aimlessly, I don't know what to do or where to go, I've never felt so much pain in my life as I did a few hours ago, at least I'm not alone by some miracle of the goddess, my beings are still with me. You're probably wondering - What happened to her? Well, I'm going to tell you now the story of how I died!

No, you didn't misread, I'm dead, I was actually just murdered, right in the middle of my 21st birthday ball, right after awakening my wolf and connecting with my beautiful mate, (who I'd like to point out couldn't be a more perfect man) tragic, isn't it? Happiness was torn from me in such a brutal way, and to make the story worse, my killer was someone I love so much, or loved, I sincerely don't know what to feel anymore, I can only think, Why?

Nice to meet you, my name is Cora Miller, as you know, I turned 21 today, I'm the daughter of the Alpha of the Southern Pack, Leon Miller, and Luna Helena Miller, I have a twin sister who is also my best friend, Bella Miller, we've been inseparable since childhood, we literally do everything together. We organized our entire ball down to the smallest details, but I never imagined it would end so tragically, me dying in the arms of my mate I waited for so long, hearing the crying and desperate pleas of my parents....

.....The fateful day began as usual on our birthdays, breakfast and lunch with family with our favorite foods, in the afternoon the party atmosphere invaded the house with the buffet staff, the decorators, and all that pre-party joy. When night fell, already ready, I stood watching from my bedroom window all the excitement in the pack house garden, the guests were starting to arrive and my anxiety was only increasing, finally it was today, the day to meet my wolf, and if I was lucky, my mate would be here too.

I walked to the mirror, smoothed my beautiful white lace dress, my long red hair that was given to me on my 18th birthday when I received my phoenix Enna, is partially tied up and falls like a cascade on my shoulders and back, they contrast with my green eyes, I smile broadly at what I see, I was really feeling beautiful.

While looking at myself in the mirror I imagined everything that was about to happen, the terrible pain of my first transformation into a wolf, if I would find my destined mate today, and what would he be like? Tall, handsome, strong, thin? Would he be an Alpha? It would be a problem if he was and I couldn't take the throne with my sister because I would have to go live in his pack, there are so many questions, but I'm torn from my thoughts by the voice of my sister who enters the room jumping, so beautiful in the white lace dress like mine and with her long black hair tied in a beautiful bun, unlike me, Bella doesn't have the phoenix even though we are twins, the powers don't divide, each one has her own and the power of the phoenix of mom came to me.

Bella - Cora, sister, you look beautiful! (Opens a smile and claps excitedly)

Cora - You too sister, you look stunning (She makes a sexy face, puts her hand on her waist and takes a little twirl)

Bella - We are babes sister

I start laughing at the faces she's making and she starts laughing too, I open my arms and she comes to give me a tight hug, I love my relationship with her, Bella has this incredible cheerful, extroverted aura, she illuminates everything she goes through. But during the hug, I feel Bella stiffen

Bella - I'm scared sister, will it hurt a lot?

Cora - I'm scared too, it will probably hurt because it's the first time but we'll be together

Bella - But if our mates aren't here the pain will be worse

Cora - Don't think about that okay? The Moon Goddess will help us, now let's enjoy our party?

Bella - Okay

I give her one last hug, we look at each other, smile, hold hands, and leave my room. When we start to go down the stairs we see our parents who were waiting for us in the living room

Helena - Look dear our babies grew up so fast (and wipes a tear that rolls down her face)

Leon - Yes My Dear our little girls have turned into two beautiful women

Bella - Stop you two or I'm going to cry too (she says already crying)

Cora - You're going to make me smudge my makeup

Helena - We're just emotional to see you so grown up, you grew up so fast and we're proud, you two are incredible people

We finish going down the stairs trying to hold back the tears and hug our parents, my family is everything to me.

Leon - Now let's stop crying hehe and let's go to the party

Bella - Yes let's go I'm crazy to know if my mate is here

Leon - Slow down princess, daddy isn't ready for that yet?

Helena - Stop dear, don't start with dad jealousy right now

Bella - It's okay daddy relax, because I'll only have one mate, You should worry about Cora who may have two kkk

Leon - Don't even remind me of that I even get dizzy my daughter

Cora - Don't worry daddy I know I'll only have one mate because I received Enna when I was 18 if she had a mate of her own I would definitely know it by now

Helena - Okay Daughter but prepare yourself, because we never know what can happen

Cora - Okay Mom

I smile at them and we go to the party, arriving there our friends, family, heads of other packs are already there, we go around greeting everyone but I start to feel strange as if something was going to happen.

Cora - Enna? What's happening?

Enna - I don't know Cora

Cora - Could it be our mate? Or my wolf?

Enna - I don't feel either of them yet, but be careful I have the feeling that something very wrong is happening here

Cora - Okay I'll be careful...

I had no idea what was to come, but if Enna was also restless I should have worried more because it was much worse than I was feeling, but what a pain, did it have to happen today? I waited so long for this day not to enjoy anything of the party, what a pain. Daddy even from afar noticed my restlessness, because he's coming in my direction looking worried and I tried to distract him, now I realize the mistake I made, maybe if I had said something none of this would have happened!

Leon - Any problem my daughter?

Cora - It's nothing daddy (I tried to smile)

Leon - Your little face is saying something else

I said what passed through my head faster......

Cora - I'm just afraid of feeling the pain of the transformation (shit that wouldn't stick daddy knows me so well)

Leon - If it was Bella I would even believe that excuse (didn't say), you are without a doubt the bravest person I know, you endure pain like no one in this pack besides being a great warrior

Cora - Warriors also feel fear daddy hehe

Leon - Alright I'll pretend I believe it, but if you sense anything tell me

Cora - You can let me know daddy

He kisses my forehead and walks away, since I was little I have premonitions and something always happens, little did I know, but if I told him what I was feeling at that time he was quite capable of ending the ball that hadn't even started or would call a war, so I preferred to avoid it....
