Kane was exhausted. For the last three days, he had stayed by his mate’s side. She had yet to open her eyes. She was still in wolf form. Doc wants to let the two wolves awake and shift on their own. He thinks it will be easier for them and, while in wolf form, they heal quicker. Nathan and Mark had scoured the library at Snow Moon to find out anything they could about the white wolf. Mostly it is just speculation, as the white wolf was supposedly distinct centuries ago. From what they had been able to find out, the white wolf is a mystical wolf that only appears when they are needed. Their powers are many, and it is said that the white wolf has the power to wipeout realms with the blink of an eye. Even the gods bow down to them.
Swiping his hands across his face, Kane thought, “And I am mated to one.” The wolves were beautiful. As far as Kane could tell, they were pure white, under all that blood and dirt, neither of them had a hint of any other color on them. Except for their size, there was no difference between them. Were they twins? How have they survived without notice? Where have they been? Why are they here? Does this have something to do with Katia and Uranus? Kane thought he would go crazy with so many unanswered questions. As far as he could tell, no one else, mortal or immortal, was aware they existed. Although Selene did not seem as surprised as everyone else. She still denied knowing about their existence.
The smaller one, his mate, whined in her sleep, which caused the other to growl in her sleep. Mark immediately laid his hand on the bigger one’s back and rubbed it. Kane petted his girl. Nathan walked in quietly whispering, “How are they?”
Mark responded while continuing to calm the bigger wolf, “Doc says they are mostly healed. They have not awoken yet. Doc says if they have to use a lot of energy or power on their journey they will need to recharge and that they will awaken when they are ready.”
Cora came in and quietly approached Kane’s mate, checking the monitors and intravenous lines. She told the two men, “Why don’t you go get cleaned up and get something to eat? Now these girls are stable and healing nicely, we are going to bathe them. We need to get the blood and mud off them. Not to mention, the big one smells like something peed all over her.”
Mark stood up and said, “We will be in my office if anything happens.”
Nathan tells Kane, “I know it is hard to walk away with her like this, but she really needs to be cleaned up and what if the shift happens while they are bathing her? You don’t want her to be embarrassed. I’ve been there, Kane I know what you are feeling.”
Kane pushed his chair back, got up and followed the other two men. Once they were out of the room, Cora said, “Alright girls, I know you are awake. Patting the bigger wolf between her ears, she says to her," I see your nose slightly wrinkle each time Alpha Mark comes near you. He is your mate, isn’t he?”
The two wolf’s eyes pop open, revealing ice-blue eyes. The blue is the palest blue Cora has ever seen. Smiling, she waggles a finger at them and says, “I think you two are going to be a handful like our Alpha Luna.”
Both wolves shift into their human forms and the smaller one says, “Holy shit! Talon, did you see my mate? He is freaking gorgeous.”
Rolling her eyes, the one called Talon laughed at the other girl and responded, “I saw and what the hell do they just make gods and put them to live here? Did you see the one I mated to, Amara?”
Amara giggled, “and he doesn’t know he’s your mate yet. He keeps laughing at my mate for being mated to a white wolf.”
Cora interjects, “Ladies, let’s carry this conversation into the ensuite shower. I take it you two are related from the looks of you.”
The girls both smiled, nodding their heads and saying, “We are twin sisters. Like the moon goddesses.”
Ushering them into the bathroom, Cora asks, “You know Selene and Katia?”
They speak in union, “Oh yes, they have been helping us for years.”
Well, let’s get you cleaned up and Doc a chance to look you over. Then we will let your men know you are awake.
Kane was in no mood to sit around and discuss things again. Every time they think they have figured something out, here comes another surprise or issue. Kane can’t help feeling like all of this is leading up to something big. The question was what, though, and would they all survive it?
Nathan was sitting and staring into the fireplace at the flames. Kane was starting to feel sorry for the dude. He understands why he lost it with his mate, but he should have listened and stopped when everyone was advising him to. Quietly, he told Nathan, “We will find Katia. Then you can work on making amends to her and hopefully getting her forgiveness.”
Nathan whispered as he noticed Mark dozing in his chair, “I don’t deserve her forgiveness. I love her so damn much and what did I do? I did the same damn thing as Alpha Thomas and whoever else had done to her. I am not saying I am not going to try, but if she never forgives me, then I will have to live with it. I will never reject her though, Kane.”
Kane nodded his understanding and jumped up while declaring, “The girls are awake.”
Mark was instantly awake and headed out the door with them. Nathan wondered at the draw Mark had towards the other wolf. Entering the hospital room, the two girls were in. The three men stopped short, nearly running into each other’s backs. Not only were the two girls awake, but they had shifted back to their human form. Sitting together in one bed holding each other’s hands were two girls identical to one another. Both had straight jet-black hair, their skin was honey brown, they were delicately built. They had long legs that were tone and muscular like their kind. They had long straight noses with a little turned tip at the end. High cheek bones and the most startling eyes. They were the lightest blue ever seen. It made Nathan wonder what Katia would compare them to.
Mark was sniffing the air and walking toward the girl that must have been the larger wolf. He took hold of her hand and said, “Mate.”
To which she replied, “Holy goddess, you’re my mate. Amara, they must grow nothing but gods here.”
The one called Amara laughed, saying, “No shit! Look at the god I got as a mate. What did that Alpha used to tell us? We weren’t meant to have mates. I hope the dip stick gets to meet my mate someday.”
Cora stepped forwards with introductions, “Alphas and Kane, may I present Talon and Amara of the white wolf clan.”
Mark’s mate, Talon, quipped back, “What is left of the White Wolf clan? Freaking Alphas wanting our powers for their own has wiped us out except for myself and Amara. The moon goddesses have been protecting us for centuries.”
Kane snarls, “Both of them?”
The girls glanced at one another, wondering what they had done wrong. Kane said in a more controlled voice, “I am not upset with either of you. However, my cousin has some explaining to do. She acted as if she did not know you two existed.”
Talon supplied some of the answer for Kane, “That is because she was protecting us. She has no way of knowing that Katia has sent us here.”
Nathan bellowed, “Katia? She sent you here. How? When?”
“She came to us in a dream and told us to come here. We will be safe for now on. She said that we would be needed soon and that we could sharpen our powers without worry of someone trying to control us for them.”
“What is coming and why will you be needed?” Nathan inquired.
They looked up and Talon said, “We do not know anything more than that.”
