My Brother’s Mate
Chapter 89

Mikes POV

"Mike! Wake up!" I hear and open my eyes. I see Rain looking down at me. Why so early.

"Ugh." I mutter.

"Good, get up man. Time for training." He says. He sounds almost excited about it. I prop myself up on my elbows and see that it's still dark outside. "Dude, what time is it?" I ask.

"It's the best time for training. Now get up." He says more firmly and leaves the room. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and onto the floor. I rub my eyes. Sheesh, why did I agree to this? I get up and get dressed. "I'm up." I say.

"Good. Let's go." I follow Rain outside. The half moon is high in the night sky. We walk away from the village, but I see a fire in the distance. We walk closer and closer to the fire. I see the Luna sitting next to it. When we get to the fire, Rain gestures for me to have a seat. I sit in front of the Luna facing her and Rain walks away. What is going on? The Luna hands me a bottle of dark liquid.

"Drink." She says. I look down at the bottle and sniff it. It does not smell pleasant, but she gave me a look and I put the bottle to my lips and threw my head back. It did not taste better than it smelled. She then takes my hand and cuts it. She cuts her own hand and grabs mine.

"Blood carries the memory of the bond between man and beast." She says. I have no idea what she is even saying.

"Close your eyes and bring your wolf forward. Let our wolves communicate." She says. I close my eyes and bring Rex to the front of my mind. I still remain in control. It feels like there is someone else in my mind. It's like a shadow. I can see it moving. My head starts to feel light and I feel off balance.

"Don't open your eyes." She says. I keep them shut, but I feel like I am going to be sick. My body feels like it's floating and then everything gets dark.

"Mike." I hear a whisper.

"Mike." The voice whispers.

"Hello?" I say.

"Good. Let's go on a Journey." The whisper says. Light flies by me and I am thrusted to the ground. I pick myself up and look around. The moon is bright and nothing but green grass all around me.

"Hello?" I shout. I see a person and I walk over to them. They are praying.

"Moon Goddess please. We need help." She prays and cuts her hand. The moon shines and suddenly another person appears. She is tall and has long white hair.

"My child, why do you pray?" The tall lady asks.

"We can not protect ourselves from the creatures in the woods. Give us strength and power so that we may protect what is ours, and in return we will worship you all of our days." The praying woman says and bows at the tall woman's feet. "I can help you. You will have two forms but one mind. No one form shall be better than the other." A bottle appears in the tall woman's hand and she holds it up to her cheek. She collects 3 tears from her left eye, and then seals the bottle. "Whoever drinks of this bottle will be changed. But be careful. For once you change, you can never go back. The moon will guide you always." The praying woman takes the bottle.

"Thank you, thank you." The praying woman repeats and repeats. The tall woman vanishes and the praying woman runs back to her people. She tells the people what happened in the field and half of them believe her and the other half do not. "Believe me. I will drink from the bottle and show you." She says and takes a sip. But nothing happens. The half that did not believe the woman leaves, while the other stays. Time speeds by and the next night, when the moon rises, the woman changes into a beast. She looks just like the creature that came to my door. All the people were first scared of the creature, but once they realized she wasn't going to hurt them. They watched the creature run freely through the woods. They drank from the bottle and joined the girl in the woods. My body is thrusted forwards again and I'm standing on a cliff. There is a loud bang and the creatures are fighting with each other.

"Stop!" I shout. But no one hears me. They fight and fight. Until only one is left standing. The other bow to him and call him Alpha.

"The first Alpha." The whisper says. I am thrusted forward again. This time I see lands divided and boundaries drawn.

The creation of the packs. I watch and time speeds by and buildings are erected. I watch as the large beastly creatures grow smaller, the color of their fur changes, and the spirit of the beasts dim. "Rex! Son of Mewa." A voice booms in my chest and my eyes open. I am gasping for air. My whole body is so hot and I am sweating.

"Mike. Breathe. It's ok. You did great." The Luna says. What just happened? What was that? The light of dawn is dancing across the sky.

"Breathe. Slower. Come on." She places her hand on my chest. I try to regain control of my breathing. I look at my hand where she cut me, and not even a scratch is present. What was that? I see Rain there. "Mewa." Is all I can get out while panting. They just look at each other while I try to breathe.
