Hidden Powers

Auren POV

I slapped him on his chest. "Alpha Lucien, we are done with babies. If you want more pups, better adopt, but I won't be having anymore!"

His lips downturned. "No, Auren, you-"

I slapped my hand over his mouth. "Shut up, and sleep!"

That night, as I drifted into sleep in Lucien's arms, a vivid dream engulfed me. I stood alone under a bright, glowing moon in a clearing. The scent of roses and jasmine filled my senses. I could feel the thick magic in the air. Like it caressed my skin, slithered around me like a lover and then left me. I whipped my head to look around, a strange sensation of Déjà vu overwhelming me. Why did I feel like a familiar presence was somewhere around?

From the shadows of trees in front of me, emerged a beautiful silver-eyed woman. Her face was still as beautiful as the day I saw her first. I gasped, remembering who she was. She smiled gently as she came near me.

"Auren, my child," Cressida whispered softly, her voice like wind through trees.

My heart raced, my breath catching in my throat. "M-mother?" I stammered, taking a step toward her.

Her eyes fixed on me, she took my hand. "I know you've birthed a beautiful daughter, Tamara. The blood of the Moon Goddess runs through both of you. You are not alone. Her power is awakening."

My eyes widened in disbelief. "Whose power? What are you saying? Mother, don't leave."

She took a step back, and laughed softly. "I'm always here when you need me." Then she stepped back into the shadows, fading like mist.

I jolted awake, my heart pounding as the echo of Cressida's voice lingered. She had visited me after so long. After a gap of fifteen years? What was the meaning of it? But a strange warmth spread through my chest. My eyes went to the moon hanging over the poplars. It felt like something ancient was stirring.
