I was Kidnapped for Revenge by a Ruthless Alpha-Chapter 177: Eclipse Gala Pt 2

~THIRD PERSON POV~

"Fool’s! Artemasia yelled.

The crowd continued to yell and scream, calling out the absurdity of a vampire marrying a shifter.

"Liar!"

"The witch has betrayed the pack she is in league with the vampires!"

"Why Alpha King Ambrose? How could you be a traitor to us all? He worshipped you!"

Suddenly the air in the grew cold, and sound was sucked from the room leaving behind an unsettling, forced silence.

The room darkened and the moon in the sky, that looked once so close at the palace of the mountain and disappeared.

Heads turned around the room, mouths moved, but no words came out.

A woman tried to scream only to hear nothing.

Some knocked over a table and delicate wine glasses fell to the floor, shattering, only there was no sound.

Then the lights blew out. And darkness blanketed the room.

The air was heavy and hard to breathe in.

The crowd was nervous. They were afraid they were about to be attacked. With everyone on edge, the guards tried to open the door and give them a chance to exist or more breathing space.

But the doors were locked.

The guards informed the others.

They were trapped.

Ambrose went on high alert. Odette’s fire was blazing. Only growing.

The guests turned to Odette, the only light in the room.

Odette felt it first, and felt it differently.

While everyone else felt fear and the need to bow and obey.

Odette felt welcoming and hugged warmly with fire.

Her fyre pulled from her body. The flames moved off her and into a separate entity.

The fyre formed into something shaped like a human figure. The flames began mending and shifting form.

Once it was finished an enormously tall woman stood fiercely in the room. Her hair flowed like flames of silver and the purest of white. Her skin the color of vanilla and eyes as silver as her flames. Her dress was armored, yet elegant and feminine. He face hard sharp gaze but soft features. She was perfection at its finest. Flawless in every sense of the word. Her aura wasn’t just powerful but it glowed brightly. She was like a star.

Her beauty was heart breaking and terrifying.

They could since her now.

Who the woman born of flames was:

Artemis Goddess of the moon and of the hunt.

She walked right up to Odette.

The height difference between them was astronomical. She towered over Odette like giant.

Her soul called out to her. Like it had connected and recognized her instantly.

"Hello, my child. Don’t you look divine." Her words broke the silence that had filled the room.

No one dared speak or move to test this. They all just watch with curiosity and amazement.

Odette was nervous to answer as well as to stay silent.

"You are the only other being in this room that may speak to me. So, speak, my time here is short darling."

"You... Your... You’re her... You’re Artemis. You’re my... Oh my god, you’re my soul mother." The words fumbled out Odette’s mouth.

"I am. I gave a piece of my soul to you. And in this life, you face an even greater danger, that is why I have given you my fyre. You are me in flesh and you will finish The DarkChild once and for all." Artemis began explaining.

"What... What do you want me to do, what am I supposed to do?" Odette started to tear up.

"You will protect this world until you die. And the offspring you bring will bring about a new age and a new world. If you can defeat The DarkChild. I am sorry I could not come sooner, I do not belong on this plane and remaining here to long is unsafe for the occupants here. For a god or goddess to walk this earth we must feed off the spirit of others to sustain our presence. And my form requires much more than yours, my dear."

Artemis knelt down and took Odette’s hands into hers.

"You are the blessing I give this world, and you will bridge the species, and you will help bring back the old beliefs. The old gods. You have purpose, I have plans for you in this life. You are different in this life and I have no doubt with the decisions you make you will win." She leaned downward, cupping Odette’s cheeks, lifting her chin; Artemis kissed her forehead gently.

An explosion of power and deep sense connection spread through me. Charging my body.

She stood back up and faced Ambrose, who had at some point, shifted.

"Onyx. I gave you a fated mate in this life, my daughter being the only one deserving of you and you deserving of her. She is my pride and be share you take care of her."

Artemis turned to the room.

"The vampires are the creations of my lover’s child. And they stand with me, not him, you are on the same side, and your fates are intertwined now. By law and by design. This is my heavenly command."

And with that her figure faded, erupting in flames before flickering out.

She came into this world as quickly as she went out.

The lights in the room lifted at the same time as sounded flooded the room.

Last; the moon took its place back in sky as if it had never left.

People were confused and disoriented. But most of all they felt stunned. Their minds were nearly breaking from the experience.

They had just all met their goddess. Some were in disbelief, others felt they had been blessed. While many, they feared her wrath, because they had felt it.

Artemis had given many their own experience with their encounter with their creator. All reflecting their hearts and thoughts.

Whispers began first. Then curiosities and opinions were shared. Soon the floor was in an uproar with many different words and feelings flying to and fro.

This was when Ambrose cleared his throat, grabbing the rooms full attention.

"What you all witnessed was something I’d call divine intervention." This got him a few chuckles.

"It seems as though hate has blinded us from truth and the bigger picture. Today I make not just a vampire princess our luna providing an alliance with another powerful family insuring the survival of our species, but also I bring you the daughter of our goddess, I bring you a god as a luna."

"Hail Luna Odette Daughter of the Moon Goddess!" Yelled Luna Dawn who stood proudly to the side.

Cheers followed by howls came next.

Though some of the other Alpha’s were unsure. There were also those who felt threatened by this. They feared their Alpha King could become to strong. They were reluctant

"We accept our new Luna!"

"Mark her! Alpha King Claim the daughter of our goddess for our pack!" The people one after another became more excited about the idea. They were among the presence of a goddess now.

"You all accept me?" Odette spoke loudly, a light tremble in her voice.

"Yes, my queen!"

"My King, we beg you! Mark our Luna!" The crowd was ready to celebrate the exciting event.

Ambrose looked at Odette, his eyes expressed lust and admiration. He was hungry for her. His wolf had been waiting for this moment. His chance to connect with her was coming, and this part of the marking made him one step closer.

He reached out and pulled her to him. Her body pressed against his. She could feel every rippling ab under his shirt, and it made her wet.

Ambrose brought his face up to her neck and deeply inhaled her sweet scent. It sent Onyx rampaging inside his mind. Desperate for a taste.

Ambrose grazed his slightly lengthened fangs into the crook of her neck and then bit down. It pierced her skin with sharp ease. Odette gasped and at first it was painful, the bite burned a little.

She could feel the eyes on everyone in the room on her. But she couldn’t bear to look, to move, to do anything but let this moment take her.

Ambrose held her close relishing in the taste of her blood and the smell of her pheromones wafting into the air.

She collapsed into his arms and he held her tight, "You did well, my luna queen."
