My brain stopped working as the door opened...

The door seemed to be opened in slow motion as slowly, the distinct features of the individual came in line of vision. Beautiful, brown hair, full and plump rose lips, defined cheek bones, tanned skin, small button nose and the powerful grey eyes.

Amelia.

She was alive and standing in front of me in bones and flesh like the embodiment of perfection. Even if I had never met her before, ever since I read about her and her life in her diary, I have grown to have a big admiration towards her. I was feeling like I just met my idol even if I just came to know about her like a few days ago.

She smile politely at us. "I am guessing you are not normal people that came here for a walk. Right?"

I cleared my throat before speaking. "Actually I am Analise and this is Alexander, the king of demons. We need your help."

She nodded and opened the door further for us to enter. "Come in and we can discuss comfortably."

We followed her as she lead us to the small living room she had in the cottage. There was four arm chairs, creating a circle around a small coffee table. Several potted plants were in the corners of the room, showing her passion for flowers. There were shelves with books neatly arranged next to each other on the sides of the room "So if you need my help, I might as well know why you need my help."

Alexander explained the whole situation with the werewolves and vampires. By the end of it, Amelia looked somewhat confused. "You are the king of Demons. You did not tell me anything about you except your name" She looked at me with a raised brow

Here goes nothing. "Well, I am Analise Royal, the youngest child of the king and queen of werewolves." Her eyes widened like saucers and she nearly spilled the cup of tea she was holding in her hands on the floor. "Are you fine?" I asked carefully.

"You.......you are the black she-wolf" She said as emotions flashed in her eyes. Each flash representing a new emotion. As she said those words, I felt my blood turn cold. I looked at Alexander warily who was looking at me with a shocked expression.

"How do you know about it?"

"I know way more than you think child."

"Does this mean that you knew from the start itself I was the black she wolf? Was all this planned or something?"

"Yes and no. Moon Wolf" She said out loud and a book came flying from the shelf into her hands that were held up in the air. She opened the book to a certain page and showed it to us. "As you can see in the book, the she-wolf is chosen by none other than the moon goddess herself. As you know the moon goddess is very powerful and has very good instinct. Based on those instinct, she chose who becomes the she-wolf. For me, she chose me because she knew how I would be from the start. She knew about my personality and as a person in general. Before I was even born. Being a black she-wolf does not mean to only be powerful and have special powers. Being a black she-wolf also means having the ability to control all that power and you have to be strong naturally so that you can handle these additional powers. A black she wolf should be kind and caring. Not abusing her powers. That is why we are said to be a part of the moon goddess."

"Well, why did she choose me then? Out of all these people?"

"That can only be answered by the moon goddess only."

"But then how did you know why she chose you if she is the one who can answer this question?" Alexander added.

"Because I met her. All black she wolves have special powers unique to each. Mine is that I can talk to the moon goddess. Back to your question Analise. I did not know that you were the black she wolf until one day when I was talking to the moon goddess, she mentioned the next black she wolf to be a royal. Judging by how your sister was, she did not fit in any of the categories to be the chosen one. I knew about them having another daughter but was never able to find out. So, automatically I thought it was you once you told me your identity"

"By special powers, did you mean, powers like witch craft and normal fire and all?" I asked as I finally felt like I was about to get the answers to my questions.

"No. That is the normal powers you get as a black she-wolf. A special power is something only you have. Nobody else had it. You probably don't know yours yet but a situation will occur where you will know about it."

"So I have to wait for a specific situation to know what my special power is?" She hummed in response. "Could you tell me more about black she wolves?"

"Well, let's start with the first black she wolf. Her name was Jasmine. She was just a normal she-wolf in her pack until her pack was being threatened by a neighboring pack. Despite not being powerful, she helped her pack fight to keep their pack safe. Just as things seemed hopeless for them, the moon goddess intervened. She saw the goodness in Jasmine, her bravery and her strength. To help her, she gave her these special powers and she was able to save her pack. It is said that ever since then, the moon goddess chooses a black she wolf before she is even born and she has a purpose from the start itself. Mine was the war against the vampires."

"So that means that I also have a purpose?"

"Yes and I think you know what it is."

"The war with the vampires." Alexander muttered from behind me.

"Exactly. That is why I can't help you. This is your fate and interfering with it will only make things worse. You have a purpose and you have to fulfil it." She smiled encouragingly at me. "Even though I know you only for sometime, I can tell you deserve to be the chosen one. My barrier spell was not any spell that could be broken easily. Of course you need to know the counter spell but just that won't suffice. You need to have the qualities of courage, strength and kindness in you. Since you were able to bring it down, it means you have all them and you will surely succeed."

I smiled lightly. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you stay alone? I mean did you not find your mate yet?"

Her smiling face contorted to one of sadness and I felt guilty. "Being a black she-wolf is very good but as we say, everything has its disadvantages. When you are a black she wolf, you don't have a mate. None of the black she wolves have mate. That is why each time, the moon goddess choses one herself."

"Wait. So you are saying that we are not supposed to be having mates?" I looked at Alexander who was mirroring my perplexed and worried expression.

"Hmm" She hummed

"Then how do you explain the two of us being mates?"
