《Iris: Child of prophecy》Chapter sixteen

"You have some serious nerve showing up here" an annoying, high-pitched voice resounded in my head.
"Now, now sister that's no way to say hello" I smiled.
I looked around the room the only thing I could see was endless space and two seats with dim lights only in the middle where the seats were. Incense rose and fell in a dance all around the floor, all around my feet. It was almost hypnotic. Just admits that darkness sat the witch of the west, well one of them. Shit was about to get real.
************************************
"Come in" I called out, responding to the knock on the door.
"Luna, she is awake" I nodded and stood up from the bed and walked out after her.
I have been waiting for several hours for the she-wolf to wake up. I didn't know what else to do with myself after the fight I had with Malik, Alpha Malik.
I ran back to the pack house and looked myself in our room. After showering and dressing up. I laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. While I was ecstatic to leave today, I could not push away or ignore the gnawing feeling in me. What I was about to do today, it would take me back to the memories I have been trying to run away from for almost ten years now.
"Luna" the doctor greeted as I entered the hospital room.
"How is she?" I asked.
"She has a fever, hallucinations, and she has been having convulsions about three since she woke up. We gave her anesthetics to stabilize her, but she isn't asleep."
As expected, "So she can't survive surgery then?"
"No" okay things are going to be nasty, awkward and absolutely intrusive.
"I'm going to need a sample of the thing in her womb" the doctor's eye brow went up.
"You want a sample of the child?"
I chuckled "both you and I know that what is in that she-wolf's womb is not a child, so please get me a glove and hold her down"
He hesitated looking down, I could tell he was trying to avoid eye contact. Malik did order them to call and treat me as a luna after all.
"Doctor?" I asked
"Raphael, Doctor Raphael" I nodded
"Look I can get why your hesitant okay, but you have to understand this is not longer a medical issue"

"Then if it isn't how are you supposed to help her if the doctors can't, your just a healer."
Oh no he didn't "just a healer, just a healer!" I yelled. I opened my mouth to say something but stopped myself, yelling would get me no where. Are all the men in this pack so chauvinistic? "Look even if I may not where you pointless lab coats or carry the stethoscope I have my methods. Besides, healers have powers you can't even comprehend, and I am more than that." I sighed.
"What are you then?" He said immediately as if trying to stop me from saying more.
"You're smart man, I'm sure you can figure it out." The look of confused etched on his face refused me to say more until he knew the complete truth.
I combed my hair with my fingers and sighed "I am a witch." His eyes widen and he took a step back. Smart guy.
"B-but, that c-can't be right, witches aren't supposed be at this side of the world. Unless-" his breathing hitched I could tell cause he was almost hyper ventilating. Poor guy, his strawberry blonde moustache shivered above his lips. He was ripped, the sleeves of his labcoat was tight and I could see his muscles through his shirt, but that didn't stop him from being so terrified. "You are the one the prophecy talks about" he chuckled "thought that was a myth."
"Well it isn't, and by the goddess, you believe in her right? He nodded and I grabbed his shirt. "Alpha Malik does not know about this, no one does not even my friend Aria. Tell anyone and I will kill you. Understand?" He nodded.
"Good, now go do what I asked you"
He went out the room and almost immediately returned with the gloves. "What about the people?" I asked after he returned alone.
"I am more than capable enough" he words curt and emotionless
"Fine" I nodded, pulling on the gloves "let's do this"
************************************
"Are you guys done yet?" I asked.
After I managed to get the sample I wanted I put it in a petri dish and took it to the lab. Just to appease the doctors of course. It was no easy task since I had to do it without surgery, there was only one more available hole in a woman's body that led directly to the womb. Yes I stuck my hands in there.

"Fine you can have it" a nurse handed the petri dish with the black goo to me. I smiled and walked back to the room where the She-wolf was, sat on the extra bed I told them to prepare. I rubbed the goo on my palms and placed them together and closed my eyes I felt myself slipping away and the last thing I remembered was my head hitting the pillow before it all went black.
************************************
"So you show up after what? Ten years ? And you're not even here" she hisses.
"The beauty of astro projection" I smiled.
"What do you want" she signals towards the chairs in the centre of the room. Walking towards them, I followed behind. When we were both seated I answered "the baby you took."
Her brows went up, "Iris, I didn't know you were pregnant?" She was clearly toying with me, of course she knew I wasn't. I sighed trying to control my anger, it was like knowing how to breath, show to much emotion when facing off with a west witch and you are ready to lose.
"I don't have time for this Lily, give me the child and I'll be on my way"
"Or, it's someone close to you?" Her brows went up in a questioning look.
I can't give any emotion, I reminded myself. This was Lily I was talking to, she was a master at manipulation just as I could heal others that was her special gift. And I can't let her think I came here for more than business or things are going to get ugly.
I scoffed "close to me? Please"
"Okay, but what's in it for you?"
"You took a woman unborn child from her womb and replaced it with life force eating demon" I spat.
"Yes, I'm well aware of what happened. What's in it for you, why are you doing
this?"
"I just told you why"
Her brows furrowed in confusion once again. Unlike her name, she was a brunette haired beauty all witches were. But Lily had this naturally arched brows that framed her green eyes perfectly. But anytime she made that face, she looked absolutely wicked.
"So your telling me that you did it because you have a heart?"
"And?" I replied
She burst out laughing, "tell that lie to someone else"
I huffed, "fine I'm getting paid"
She shook her head "so after what? Ten years? Who would have known the much loved and favoured Iris will become a beggar. Giving her services to mere wolves for money" she whined "so pitiful "
I can't let her get to me, let her believe what she wants I don't care.
"I don't get you Iris" stood up off her chair and walked around the room, entering and exiting the darkness. Slithering around but with much grace. I just sat there watching her.
"You had everything" her voice came from the darkness "everything Iris, mother loved you so much."
"She loved you too" I murmured.
"Oh? She did, didn't she" her voice came closer. "Then why were you the only one that got to sit on her lap? Why were you the only one that got to be treated when you where hurt?"
"That was because I could heal" I quickly interrupted her. As memories from this place flowed back into my subconscious, memories I fought so hard to push away.
"Why were you the only one that didn't experience the pit?" She spat.
"Lily" I whispered as I could feel her get agitated
"Not only were you mother 'best girl' she never treated you as bad as us, always pampering you, treating you like a diamond. As if you could do no wrong, miss goody-two-shoes" she yelled.
Nothing I said now could make anything better.
"I hated you Iris" big surprise "but not because of the love or the fact that you were different. What makes my blood boil is the admits all that special treatment you still broke mother's heart " she yelled.
"What?"
"Oh don't give me that Iris, we all knew the only reason mother treated you like that was because of the prophecy. Just the right amount of love and she wouldn't turn against us, she wouldn't be the end of us"
So that's it, the stupid prophecy gosh, how did I end up back here after everything, after all the running.
"Even after you escaped, she wouldn't let us go after you and kill you like all the others. She let you live" it was my turn to laugh.
"That was because she did not know how to kill me"

I always felt like I was different somehow. I knew my wolf could feel it too. But it all changed on the day of my 18th birthday when I inherited my Luna powers and the mark. But the thing is... only the first born daughter of the Silver Moon Luna pack gets these powers and my mother is not a Luna (female Alpha), she is just a member of the pack like me. So then I guess that leaves me with one unanswered question.....Who am I really?

But what happens when Lara King, an ordinary werewolf whose mum is not a Luna, receives a unique mark on her hip on her 18th birthday which no other wolf or first born daughter has.

However Lara is worried and feels like she is not the one. Until the day when the current Luna of her pack finds out of her true identity and is set out on killing her.
