Chapter 635

Chapter 635
The surrounding darkness was familiar. I was floating in the abyss of black that I had found myself in once before. I relaxed into it instead of fighting it this time. If I died this time, I only hoped that I had saved my parents.
“You did.” Selene’s voice floated from the distance, and I sighed in relief.
“Good.” I had nobody here, but I still felt my soul release. “Good.” Chapters fırst released on.net
“Do you not care about anyone else?” Her voice was curious.
“ I do. But I know that Rowan would have fought tooth and nail to save everyone once I was gone.” I chuckled. “He would be heartbroken, but he is a good king, and a better man. He would make sure everyone was safe before he allowed himself to break down over my death.”
“Always so confident.” Hecate’s voice was amused. “ I think we may have created a monster, sister. ”
Selene laughed, her voice growing closer. “No.” I felt something behind me, but I couldn’t turn, couldn’t move. “We created a queen.” Her voice was next to my ear.
“Are you not sad you are here, daughter?” Hecate’s voice called from further away.
I shook my head, or what felt like my head. “No.” I leaned back into the abyss, allowing my soul to rest. “I did what I could to protect everyone. To save everyone. I did my best, and that’s all anyone can ask. If I have to die for my parents, I’m okay with it.”
“But you didn’t get to accomplish what you wanted to.” Selene’s voice was moving as she called to me. “You wanted revenge…didn’t you?”
I felt some anger bubble up. “I did…I do.” I corrected myself. “I didn’t get to avenge my pup.” I tried to touch my stomach, but I had no hands here.
“Which pup?” Hecate’s voice held a hint of playfulness that I didn’t understand.
“What do you mean?” I felt my body release, and I could move again. “Carly’s still alive. I don’t need to avenge her…right?” Panic gripped my heart. “Rowan would have protected my pup.”
“He has.” Selene’s hand patted whatever my soul was now, and I felt a jolt of power. “The shaman pup
is still alive and safe.”
“I wasn’t talking about her.” Hecate chuckled.
“Then who. I only have my pup from my first life…and Carly.” I frowned, or tried to.
A soft pink glow pulsed from somewhere. A fluttering heartbeat filled the darkness. “Are you sure?” Something cupped my face, a hand I think and another jolt of power ran through me. Look, and see the truth.”

I felt hands turn me, and I saw a tiny pup floating in a pink orb off to the left. “Who is that?”
“Your pup.” Selene’s voice was a whisper as her silvery form stepped up next to me on my left. She waved her hand, and the tiny pup floated into her hand.
“My pup from my first life? The one from Brandon. ” I opened what I considered arms here for him, and the pulsing orb flew straight to me. I clutched him to my chest. This is the first time I had touched him in years. “I’ve missed you, my love.”
Selene hummed before she answered. “Not exactly.”
“What do you mean?” I was confused, but for the first time since I had died, I felt complete. This was a piece of my soul I had been secretly missing all these years.
Hecate’s form stepped on my right, her green smoke drifting around her as she reached a hand out and ran her fingers down the pulsing pink ball protecting my pup. “Yours and Brandon’s pup soul…in yours and Rowan’s pup body. His second shot at life. A deal is a deal. If you finish your task.” Her face held a soft wonder. “And if you survive.”
I tightened my hands around him. “Really?” I choked out. Silver drops fell onto the pulsing orb in my arms. “What’s that?” I watched as more silver drops fell onto him.
Selene’s voice was a soft whisper. “Your soul tears. ” Her hand slipped around my back, sending pulses of power into me. “You don’t have a body here, not one like in the real world; it’s just your soul. When a soul cries, its tiny drops of your life force, gifted from me.‘
“Hense the glowing silver drops.” Hecate mimicked Selene, wrapping her arm around me, sending more shocks into me. “I know it’s uncomfortable. But you unlocked a hidden power neither my sister nor I realized you had. It took too much out of you.”
Selene hummed again. “This is definitely something we will have to look into. But if you want your chance to leave like last time, we need to…” She looked at Hecate.
She shifted into her Maiden form. “Juice your soul up with power so you can get out of limbo, as my followers would say.” She grinned before she shifted again. Her forms becoming more and more unstable. “I’m using extra power to get you out of here.”
Selene cupped my cheek. “Your soul was ripped apart from the blast. Celestial powers can do that.”
“Celestial powers? Excuse me?” I was confused. “What the hell did I do?” 2
Hecate grabbed me and started spinning. “Why don’t you wake up and find out for yourself?” Then she let go. 3
