Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 30

Chapter Thirty

I looked over at the stunningly beautiful woman, and something clicked inside of me. “Moon Goddess?”

“I knew you were a smart little pup.” She smiled down at me and her body seemed to pulse with light. “Now talk to me.”

“I can’t connect with nature…I won’t be able to save my father. I won’t be able to save myself.” I dropped my head to my hands and wanted to cry. “Goddess?”

“Yes, my dear girl.”

“Why?” I could only utter the one word and she gave me a sad smile.

“Something’s have to happen.” She leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Something’s are set in stone so that everything unfolds the way it has to ”

“But my pup.” I choked out, and her smile trembled.

“Is by my side and I have taken the very best care of him.” The goddess pulled me to my feet and held my hand. “I tell him every day just how much you love him.”

Tears fell as I nodded. “I wanted him so much.”

“I know my daughter. And I’m sorry you had to live that life, but…”

“It’s okay.” I waved her away.

“Now, about connecting to your power.” The goddess twirled under the moon and I had to remember to breathe. I don’t know why, but she was stunningly beautiful, and it took my breath away. She looked at me and smiled. “It’s because I call to your wolves. And you have two.” She cupped my cheek, and I nodded. “But you are chasing after your power. And you shouldn’t.”

“I have to connect to nature.” I shook my head and she smiled.

“You are chasing your tail.”

“What?” I didn’t know what she was saying,

“Sit. Listen.” We settled back on the ground. “Your power is a part of your very essence. You are essentially chasing your hand with the other hand.” I felt my face drop, and she smiled. “What happens when you chase something?”

“You catch it?”

“When a wolf feels threatened, it runs.” She patted my head. “Close your eyes.” I settled and listened to her voice. “The easiest way to coax out a wolf is to sit quietly and wait for it to come to you and then catch it off guard.”

“But this is just connecting to nature.” I opened one eye, and she laughed.

“It’s a part of your very being. You have two wolves. Their nature is your nature.”

“So, what do I have to do?”

“Open yourself to the possibility. I have a feeling that you haven’t let yourself believe in actually having magic. But your line was blessed, for a very specific reason.”

“You gave us maple?” I felt myself center again, listening to the goddess’s voice,

“The blessing came from your human side, your father’s grandma.

pup, instead of growing weaker, I nurtured the seed so that you would have the gift.”

“The seed?”

“Think of it as a seed. It is a small kernel of power, passed down from your father. But you have to plant it, nurture it, grow your power. Like you would a flower. Stop chasing after nature, as it is fickle. Find the seed and plant it, allow it to flourish inside of you.” Her words faded, and I focused on my center.
