Chapter 86

When I was born, they said I would not survive, my soul left me before I even took my first breath, my mother Luna Aurora Monetti, who is half wolf and half-witch, the last of a great ancient lineage of witches, a descendant of the Santys, had to make the ultimate sacrifice to give me life, she gave me her witch soul and her powers.

By transferring her soul to me, and now she is just another wolf, everything she was, she sacrificed for me. Still, I never thought what this would mean and what it would bring to my life. It was not only her soul and her powers but also a destiny marked before she or I was born.

A destiny that was already written centuries ago and that binds me to him, body and soul; my parents hid the truth from me, they knew it, he knew it, and yet I let myself fall in love, he seduced me, he conquered me and made me believe that I was the only one in his life when I am just one more replica in turn of his past.

He really loves me, or he only loves the memory of what I represent, but I refuse to be one more, and I deserve to be valued for who I am; I was not born for him; I am the daughter of an alpha and a princess by lineage, he is the one who has to prove to me that he is worthy of me and until he does I will not be his or anyone else's.

I am Orahna princess of the Santys, daughter of Alpha Leonardo, and Luna Aurora, princess of Santys. I am not a simple wolf or witch waiting for his mate; I will not give myself to him; for me, he will have to fight as he has never done before.

—Aurora, you must push hard; the baby can't breathe, — said Roberta worried.

And I could see in her face the anguish and fear took over me —No, no, my baby, Roberta, do something —I said desperately. At the same time, I pushed with all my strength and saw my baby coming out of my belly, but she was not crying, and the delivery room was in total silence.

I watched Leonardo and Roberta took my baby and lifted her to my arms. She was so small that she looked like an angel sleeping, and tears started to come to my face with her white hair silver.

—Aurora, I'm so sorry, — Roberta said between tears.

Leonardo looked at me disconsolate, I didn't know what to say, and I looked at him. We both knew that this would happen, the dream I had five years ago was coming true, and I knew perfectly well what to do, but that could cost me my life, and I was willing to pay the price.

I held my princess in my hands and looked at her face, and I gave her a tender kiss on her little face; I lifted my head and said to Leonardo, —I love you-, he looked at me confused and said —Aurora, don't.

I raised my hand and placed it in front of her little body; a white light covered my body. I focused all my magic, everything I am in, giving life to my princess, even if it was my life.

Transferi mia alma

Mi sere into tis pequeñi sere

Os convoki magie blanchi

Dua vida denle

Os ofrezcari mia

—I didn't hear Roberta say, as she came closer to me, took my hand, and held my little daughter's hand, and said a spell I will never forget.

Tuo dividare dea alma en dos

Bruji y uno loba

Transferi tua bruja almi

Into tua niña

Alma y poderi into ella

Os convokare

My body was covered with white light, and that light passed to my little daughter. My body vibrated and trembled with a shiver that I had never felt before; I looked at Roberta and Leonardo. We both looked at each other and then at my daughter.

—Come on, beautiful, open your eyes, — I said, praying that whatever Roberta did would work in conjunction with my magic, and it did.

My little girl opened her eyes, reflected blue flames in her iris, and started to cry. Her cry was the most beautiful music I had ever heard in my life; I looked at Roberta, and she hugged me, -Thank you, I don't know what you did, but thank you.

Leonardo came closer to us and kissed me on my forehead. He looked at our daughter, and a beautiful smile was reflected on his face —Roberta, thank you, without you, I might have lost them both tonight— I said thankfully.

—Roberta, what did you do with that spell, — I asked her.

—Forgive me, Aurora, I knew you would sacrifice for her, and that's why I talked to Silvana; we both prepared a unique spell. Which I could enchant with my magic and yours combined, only if it would be possible — said Roberta, very shocked.

—Roberta, I have nothing to forgive you, my life is alive, and so am I, now I will be able to see it grow and Manuele, next to my husband, who could blame you, — I said, confused.

—No magic can bring a person back from the dead, and you know it, the only way is ......, but before she finished that sentence, I completed it.

—Transferring a soul inside the deceased person, I know that that's why I was willing to sacrifice myself. I had always known that I would have to do it when this day came; I just thought that maybe I wouldn't have to do it.

—Aurora, you shouldn't have; your life is not yours to give; you are my life. I couldn't go on without you, my beautiful, — said Leonardo approaching me and kissed me on the forehead, hugging me with affection.

—Yes, I must ask for your forgiveness because what I did, what Silvana and I did, saved my daughter. The cost was huge for you.

—What are you talking about, Roberta? Explain yourself, —said Leonardo very seriously.

—I couldn't transfer the soul of your wolf to the girl; she wasn't strong enough, — said Roberta looking at them.

—But my witch soul was pure magic, able to revive someone and give them life itself again, — I said with a smile on my face, looking at my daughter. She would have a life, thank you, goddess, of the moon, thank you!

—That's right, you know what that means, right.

—Yes, and I accept it, — I said smiling and took her hand in mine, "Thank you.

—I know you are witches, and you understand everything about magic, but could you explain this to a werewolf, who still counts with apples and fingers? I don't understand anything, and my daughter is alive. She looks perfectly fine, just like my wife; what was the sacrifice, Roberta?

—That I am only a wolf my love and our daughter, although she is a wolf, her witch side will be more dominant, now she has my soul and my powers, with all the blessings- I said, looking at her.

—And the curses that this brings, — said Roberta; Leonardo and I looked at her thoughtfully.

—We don't know that yet, Roberta, —I said.

—We don't know it, but you know the destiny that she will carry on her shoulders, she will have the same fate that you once lived, and she even has the moon-shaped mole on the back of her neck, you know what that means- she said looking at me and from her mouth came out the words, that I once heard from Ugo's.

—If my life is over, please don't forget me, whatever my death is, if there are more lives, I promise to look for you in all of them, and I swear that I will find you in all of them".

—You remember those words, — said Roberta looking at me.
