Chapter 0216

(Lily POV)

“Now, if you are ready, let us talk about that destiny of yours. Your earned destiny.”

I hesitated. I desperately wanted to know what all the secrets were about, but I still had so many questions about everything that the Moon Goddess just told me. There were pieces that still did not

seem to fit.

At least I knew that James was always supposed to be mine. Somehow, I found that incredibly

comforting.

“May I ask you a few more questions first?” I asked.

The Moon Goddess shook her head. “I am really sorry, my love. I had hoped that we would have longer to

talk, but the longer this conversation goes on, the bigger of a wrinkle it creates. And thanks to the two of

you and your little lovefest this week, I have already had to intervene and wrinkle things a bit too much

already….”

The Moon Goddess paused and gave us both a mischievous smile.

When I realized what the Moon Goddess was referring to, I began blushing. Out of the corner of my eye,

could see that James had a hint of red on his cheeks as well.

“Oh, do not be embarrassed,” the Moon Goddess said teasingly. “Your reasons for waiting to mark each other were sweet, and your little lovefest represented young love at its finest. In fact, it reminded me about why I thought the two of you would be a perfect pair. And you deserved to take some time together. I am glad that you did.

It just also meant that, in order to keep you both safe, I had to ‘help’ Charlotte transpose a few numbers and ‘help’ distract the wolves at the West Mountain Pack who were trying to figure out where James went.”

A folded piece of paper then magically appeared in the Moon Goddess’ hand, and she handed it to me. This is the prophecy. You can take this with you and read it.”

I took the paper from the Moon Goddess and showed it to James. He glanced at the paper and then turned back to the Moon Goddess.

“I have read the prophecy before Moon Goddess, and it has some information, but it does not clarify what Lily’s intended destiny is,” James commented.

“No, it does not. That is why we are here. I did not want to put that part in the prophecy.”

“Okay…”

“I had planned to give you a grand speech about it, but we do not have that much time, so let me see ift

can condense it.

Basically, the world has been slowly filling up with more and more wolves who think like Stephanie,

Sheila, and Margie. They are unfortunately not unique in their thinking or their behavior. And even outside the werewolf community, enemies have started to realize that the mate bond is both a strength and a

weakness.

The increasing desire by enemies Inside and outside our communities to use the mate bond as some sort of sick tool for torture, revenge, and manipulation hurts me to my core. I am also concerned about the growing culture amongst youth that the mate bond is not important and can be ignored. It is similar to the

growing human ambivalence towards marriage.

The mate bond is about love and loyalty. It is one of the most important attributes of being a werewolf,

and protecting it is my number one goal of current times.

“Meaning I said hesitantly.

“Meaning that your destiny, Lily, is to protect the mate bond for this and future generations. I want you to

help me remove those from power who threaten it, or who are threatened by it. I also want you to help me

punish those who seek to manipulate it for evil. And I want you and James to be an example for others of

what the mate bond can and should be.”

I thought for a second.

“What would have happened had I not chosen to be with James?” I asked.
