Alpha's Second Chance

OLIVIA

It is getting late and slowly beginning to get dark, after a nice day with Dad and Matt. The moon goddess had said three days, so it could be at midnight or first tomorrow night. No matter what, I did not want to miss out on any time with Dad, and he wanted to stay here, close to Mom. He said he had a feeling that he could not explain, so yeah, we were staying here, waiting.

"I remember when Liv was little, and you had to go to training or something. She always tried to go with you." Matt says, and Dad laughs.

"Oh yes, and a few times she succeeded. And I would first see her when I got to the training field." Dad laughs, and Matt and I laugh, too.

"I wanted to be like my Dad, a big brave warrior," I say and smile.

"And you did become that and so much more," Dad says, making me smile.noveldrama

"I guess I did. I remember being so scared to find my mate. Afraid that I would have to change who I was. But I was wrong. I didn't have to change. I just became more and who I was supposed to be." I say, and Dad smiles.

"And I am so incredibly proud of you, of both of you. As a parent, I cannot wish for more." Dad says. We are sitting quietly, watching the sun disappear behind the forest. The moon rising and I had not realized that it would be a full moon tonight. And it wasn't just a full moon, but the moon looked so bright and beautiful with a hint of gold and silver. I forgot all about midnight and was just at this moment enjoying the beautiful view.

A bright light of silver suddenly appeared, and without thinking too much about it, I knew it was the moon goddess, but she was not alone. An almost see-through form of another woman was next to her, and I am lost for words.

"Mom," I whisper at the same time as Matt.

"Nora," Dad whispered. She first doesn't speak, and we and the moon goddess step forward smiling. "My children, I know this is not an easy time, and because of that, I decided to give you all a chance to say a proper goodbye, also to your mom. And I think it will be good for you to see that your Dad and Mom find each other again. And I know Nora has been watching you all, wishing that she was able to tell you how proud she is. So..." The Moon-goddess says pausing after the last word.

"Tonight, you, Klaus, will leave together with your beloved mate." She finishes, and no one says anything, and she steps back.

"Nora," Dad whispers, and she smiles at him.

"My Brave Warrior." She says softly, and I see a tear in Dad's eyes.

"I did it," Dad says, and he walks closer to her.

"Yes, you did. And you could not have done it any better, I am so proud of you." She says smiling and Dad nods his head, and then she looks at Matt and me.

"My children. My big, brave boy, I am so proud of the man you have become. You are a good, kind, caring, and protecting man. And you are a good father, do not change any of that." She tells Matt and gives him a hug. I see his surprise when she touches him, but then he hugs her back, and they stand there for a while before she lets go and looks at me.

"My little girl, My princess. I am so sorry that I left you so early, that I left you to grow up without a Mom. But I am so proud of the woman that your amazing father has raised you to be. You could not have become a better woman or mother, I am so proud of you. Always fight, always stay who you are," She says, pulling me into her arms, and now I understand why Matt was surprised. I can feel her, really feel her, her arms, her warmth.

She let go of me, and I can't stop thinking about that. It was a hug I could feel, from my mom. She walks back over to where Dad is standing, and she touches his face.

"Are you ready my love?" She asks him.

"Let me say goodbye." I hear him whisper, and she nods her head.

Dad comes over to us, and at first, he looks at us, but then he grabs both of us and pulls us into one big hug.

"I am proud of you both. Keep doing what you do." He says.

"We will," Matt says, and I nod my head.

"Always be there for each other. Always protect each other." He says.

"We will, Dad, we promise. We will be okay, we promise." I tell him.

"Good, good. I love you and will always be proud of you both." He says, letting go and walking back over

to Mom.

"I am ready, my love." He says, and Mom smiles.

Mom looks over to the

moon-goddess and the

moon-goddess nods her head and

silently says a few words, none of us can hear Mom helps Dad to sit down on the field and sits down next to him, and when she hugs him a white light comes from Momar

surrounds them. We could not see anything for a little while, but, then the light disappeared and with it, Mom, or her spirit or soul, and Dad's soul left with hers.

And right there on the field, Dad is lying peacefully, almost as if he is sleeping, but we know he is not sleeping, we both know that he is no longer breathing. Matt walks over to Dad and lifts him up gently, and together, we walk into the graveyard and lay him down in the grave. We don't put our dead ones in a coffin so that the soul and spirit never get caught or stuck.

When we are done, Matt hugs me and after staying a little we walk away and back to the packhouse.
