Chapter 200
“So, what are you saying?” Elliot asked when my words failed me.
“I want to give you the choice,” she told me. “You can stay here and live a wonderful afterlife with your family and start anew. You could have children here and live as immortals in my spirit world. You will be together and live as mates.” I looked up at Elliot and he met my eyes.
“As of right now, Elliot’s wolf still lives inside of him; this field is in Silver’s mind, so her wolf is walking around. But if you choose to say, both your wolves will be free to wander this world together and they would live together as mates as well. They would still be a part of you, but they will also walk the world by your sides p>
Tears fell from my eyes. The thought of spending a peaceful afterlife with my mate and our wolves, along with my family, sounded too good to be true. I wanted that more than anything, but there was still a nagging feeling in my chest.
“What’s the other option?” I found myself asking, my voice coming out breathy.
She looked at me and I could see the answers in her eyes before she even spoke to them.
“I could send you back, Silver,” she told me. “I could send you back and you could save him. I will give him a chance to return with you if you go back and give him your blood. It would heal him. He might remain in a coma for a while, but he would live again. You would need to get of him before they put his body to rest on the ground. Once that happens, I won’t be able to send him back. It would be out of my control p>
“How long do I have?” I asked.
“Once you wake… not long,” she warned.
I met Elliot’s eyes.
“What should we do?” I asked him.
I didn’t need him to tell me what he wanted me to know. He wanted to spend eternity with me, to love me, and to have children with me. He wanted a peaceful life by my side and regardless of where I went, he’d want to be with me as well.
But we had a pack to care for. We had people who cared for us… he had a family in the living world. As much as I wanted to stay and get to know my birth family and even get to know Lucy, the girl who was sacrificed for me, I knew what we needed to do. When I looked at the Moon Goddess, she gave me a small nod and a loving smile. She knew my decision before I said anything.
“Silver My mother said softly as she stepped towards me. “I love you so much p>
I smiled at her and went to her, wrapping my arms around her. I
“I love you too I whispered. “And one day, I will return here, and we will spend all the time in the world together p>
“We understand you have to go back,” my father said, wrapping his arms around me as well and hugging us both. “We wouldn’t want anything less for you.” “I’m sorry I can’t stay longer p>
They both shook their heads and let out a small laugh and a cry at the same time.
“We get it,” my father assured me. “Like I said, we wouldn’t want anything less. Go live your life… be the woman we know you are and use your powers for good p>
I nodded and turned to Lucy; she had tears in her eyes. I stepped towards her and hugged her.
“Thank you for taking care of my family,” I whispered. She hugged me even tighter.
“Now go show mine what a badass you are and that they’ve fucked with the wrong bitch,” she chuckled.
I laughed too. I stepped away from them and watched as they held one another. They looked like a beautiful famity… I was proud to know that they were my family.
I walked back to Elliot and held his hand as I turned to face the Goddess. “Send me back,” I told her.
She nodded. I looked up at Elliot and he gave me a reassuring smile.
“I’ll wait for you,” he whispered.
“I’ll bring you back,” I assured him.
He bent down and brushed his lips across mine.
“I know,” he whispered.
“And if I fail, I’ll come back to you,” I told him.
He cupped my face and kissed me deeply.
“Live your life, Silver,” he whispered. “Don’t end it for me p>
I wanted to argue, but the Goddess cleared her throat.
“You need to get back now before you are out of time,” she told me nodded and stepped away from ‘Elliot. “There’s something you should know though… about your mark when you return p>
I shook my head.
“I don’t think I want to know anything else,” I told her. “Just send me back and I’ll figure it out on my own p>
She smiled and nodded.

She walked over to me a hands
my face in her hands; her hands
were warm, and a bright light,
glowed from them, giving me a tingly sensation.
“Live, my child,” she whispered just before her lips pressed against my forehead.
The light was so bright it was almost blinding and then everything went dark.
