She is a special werewolf. She doesn’t belong to our pack or any of our packs of wolves. In fact, I think she is the only one left in existence. She is a dire werewolf.
CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE
Hunter stood there, looking at Lumi curiously. How? How was his sister a different type of werewolf when his whole family were regular werewolves?
Reiya shifted back into her human self. She could see Hunter was studying her.What does he know that I don’t?Everyone always knew things about her that she didn’t.
He knows what kind of wolf I am. His wolf is pretty quick.
And what kind of wolf are we?Reiya asked, feeling in the dark about herself.
“How are you a dire werewolf?” Hunter asked.
Wait. A dire werewolf. You are a dire werewolf? How is that? Dire werewolves are extinct. They have all been so interbred with regular werewolves that there is no longer a difference.
The Moon Goddess saved me from the past. She saved me especially for you. You were gifted with a dire werewolf. Unheard of, but not impossible for the Moon Goddess.Lumi sat down in Reiya’s mind.I told you I was special.
“I guess this is just another surprise from the Moon Goddess.” Reiya shrugged. There was no other explanation.Except now she felt a bit separated from her family. She was still related to them, right?
Of course you’re still related. Your wolf is just the form of a dire wolf. It doesn’t change any of the other stuff. Just that we are above a regular werewolf. The reason there is even a need for the Werewolf King is because the dire wolves are no more. They were the ones who used to rule over the regular werewolves. Their time has passed, which is why a new ruler would eventually emerge for the werewolves. Your brother.
Reiya just shrugged. Whatever. At this point, she’d had so many life surprises, what was one more? Lee was her mate, Xander was her soul twin, and her wolf was a dire wolf. She would just roll with it.
“In either case, it looks like I’m not under your werewolf jurisdiction.” Reiya giggled and shook her head.
“I guess it all makes sense. Can’t have the fairy queen be beholden to me.” Hunter grinned.
“Is Chelsie your chosen mate, or is she a fated one?” Chasen asked, looking at Brody.
Brody looked at him, confused. “Chosen.”
“Why did I get a fated mate? That’s weird. Not that I’m complaining.” Chasen looked at the ground, deep in thought.
“Jin is your fated mate? Like the werewolves have?” Brody asked in shock.
“Yes, we both heard the mate call. Which is weird, since neither of our kinds have fated mates.”
Lumi scoffed in Reiya’s head.Clueless.
Reiya smiled. Her wolf could be rude sometimes.Yeah, kind of how I was clueless about you being a dire wolf. Guess if someone doesn’t tell you, it’s hard to just know.
Lumi felt a bit guilty hearing that and pawed at the ground in Reiya’s mind.Sorry. You’re right. There’s no way for them to understand.
So you know then?
Yes, I do.
“Lumi knows why you have a fated mate,” Reiya said as she waited for Lumi to continue. She looked at Hunter.
“Hunter, did you want Chasen and Jin to get together?” Reiya smirked at her brother.
“Of course I did. I was afraid Chasen was going to blow it. You know how stubborn he is.” Hunter smiled and raised a questioning eyebrow to Reiya. Where was this going?
“Chasen, when you first met Jin, how did you feel?” Reiya asked as she started putting the pieces Lumi asked for together.
“At first, I was cautious of her. And then I started picking up that she had something bad happen to her before. She always hid behind a smile. Then I started feeling for her, but I held it off. The small affection I had toward her began to grow and intensify until finally I heard my animal call her mate. It was similar with her. She felt comfortable with me and attracted to me. Then suddenly she felt the mate connection and heard it as well.”
“Well, well, well.” Reiya smiled as Lumi filled her in.
