The tops of the trees whipped in the wind lightly, a cool breeze causing goose bumps to rise on my skin. That was when I noticed the Grecian dress I was in. It clung to my chest and stretched out in to a cape behind me while the soft material fell effortlessly over the small bump of my stomach. Pushing up from the scratchy grass I look around at my surroundings. Where was I? Turning on my heel I was startled by what I saw. "Jordena?" I didn't know if it was actually her but her brown curls that fell effortlessly over her shoulders held a striking resemblance to the founder of the country. I watched her closely as she took precise steps towards me, her hazel eyes identical to Ryder are locked on mine. "I don't have long Charlotte." Her soft voice says to me as she moves to stand in front of me. "They're trying to wake you up as we speak." "I'm asleep?" I ask her my voice sounding lost. I watched her eyes flick to my stomach and instinctively I cross my arms over it as if I'm protecting my pup. "I won't hurt my descendant or you Charlotte. It's why I'm talking to you." She says her eyes flicking back up to mine. My voice shakes as I wrap my arms tighter around my stomach. "Is something going to happen to my baby?" "I don't know." Her eyebrows furrowed and she took a step back. "I'm more worried about you. This prophecy is not over. You are still in danger. That rebel, George already knows the answer to it and so do others who wish to take my country." "If they know the answer why doesn't Ryder?" Jordena had started to pace around me and I followed her slowly with my eyes. "Ryder doesn't know yet because all the others were informed in similar ways to what you are. He never would have figured it out on his own." She was being cryptic. Turning to face her I drop my arms to my side and when I did her eyes moved back to my stomach. It was her family growing in there as well. She could sense my frustration and continued with what she had to say. "You're my reincarnate." She says her voice strong as she straightens her neck up higher. "What?" She nods her head in the understanding of my confusion. "Not a lot of people believe in it because it's not often that it happens. Some souls, like ours are stronger and we are sent to earth to restore peace in times of war. Ryder is the reincarnate of my mate as well. It's why you two are mates, coincidence that they have the same name however." "How is that a power?" A human born into power. The first line of the prophecy runs through my mind as I spoke the words. "It helps you because my wolf was one of the most feared wolves and because she was connected to my soul and part of me, she's part of you. She's lying dormant in you for either you to use her strength or pass it on to your pup." I don't try and fight her as she gently places her hand to my stomach, defining the bump underneath the loose material. "You think I'll shift?" My eyes stayed on her hand as she pulled it back. "It's a possibility." Her voice was rushing now as she looked around at the tall trees. "She would have to be pulled deep from within you. Something a strong emotion will do, either anger or love." She was looking up now and I was wondering what was happening as I followed her eyes again. "We're running out of time." Now she was back in front of me, a hand on the side of my neck and one back on my stomach. I flinched lightly at the sudden touch but kept my eyes on her. "Keep yourself close to Ryder, Charlotte, both physically and emotionally. You both need each other, your pup needs you, protect them." There was a pressure against my chest and I clenched my eyes shut trying to work through it. I felt lighter once the pressure was relived and slowly I opened my eyes to the fluorescent lights above me. "Lottie? Can you hear me?" Riley said as she hovered over the top of me. I was on the cold tiles of the floor, my back cramping from the hard surface. To my side I noticed Jake who was bent over Ryder who was also on the floor as well, his eyes clenched in pain. "I'm fine." He groans as he bats away Jake's hand as he sits up to hover over me as well. "What happened?" he asked no one in particular as he gently run his hand over my cheek. He was looking into my eyes as if he was seeing something new. "Lottie passed out and when you grabbed her so did you. You protected Lottie's fall but hit your head pretty hard." Nicholas said as he looked at us with his eyebrows furrowed. "What happened to you two?" I didn't want to move. I was still overwhelmed by the information I just received. Looking into Ryder's eyes was comforting. "I saw some insight." His voice was emotionless as he addressed everybody else but still allowing me to look into his hazel eyes. "Reynolds has poison in his blood. The only way he'll survive if it works its way out of his system before he bleeds to death. And..." he took a deep breathe the I see a quick flash of recognition flicking through his eyes before he speaks again. "Lottie and I are the peace reincarnate of Jordena and Ryder. George isn't the only threat anymore"
