I awoke drenched in sweat. My dream felt too real like I could almost touch her.
I made my way to the wall length sliding door and looked up at the moon. It glowed with an ethereal blue hue.
‘I hope you aren’t mocking me.’ I whisper to the moon.
Celeste Goddess of the moon wasn’t my Goddess, but I had a connection to her as well. Even though she was my mates Goddess I could feel the pull to the full moon.
The bond hasn’t formed in this life, but I could feel it, her wolf reached out, but this was different. I could feel my mate there like she was watching our life play out. It was the oddest experience.
I sigh.
‘What are you trying to tell me?’ I wondered. The moon seemed to glow brighter at my question.
She always did this. She loved talking to the moon even if it never answered back. This was her thing. I loved holding her against this very window as she spoke of our love. Thanking the Goddess for our bond. Never knowing it would be short lived.
But I don’t let myself drift to those dark thoughts and memories that have plagued me for a thousand years.
So I let myself drift to the warmth of her pelt. The way my fingers ran through the blue hue of fur. Her whines of pleasure.
Sometimes she’d shift to her wolf and sleep in my arm’s, content in her form and happy with me by her side. I felt the tug in the pit of my stomach.
Flashes of her wolf darting through the trees and straight to the Castle.
My head thrown back as I let her get past me. She was strong and fast, very fast, but her speed wasn’t a match for mine. It was always why I gave her a running head start.
Just two weeks, two weeks and I’ll see her again, but was I ready for that?
Was I ready to lose her again?
Not a chance in hell!
The world would freeze over and explode once again before I was ready for that heartache.
I placed my forehead against the cool glass. ‘I hope you know what you’re doing.’ I know she won’t answer she never had in the past. I don’t see why she would start now, but I hoped she’d hear my questions.
But I won’t lie, she’s spiked my interest. I could feel her wolf call to me from that memory. I could almost feel the heat of her body. The way my hands caressed down the length of fur, her tail wagging. She was utterly breathtaking in both her human and wolf form.
Goddess how was that even possible?
I wondered if I could do the same, could I pull on our past bonds that formed to reach out to her? I don’t want to scare her half to death, but I can’t deny the visceral need to try it for myself.
Dream walking was different. I could be lost in conversation and still dream walk just like a werewolf could mind link and hold a conversation simultaneously.
But I could try. I knew she dreamed of me, but did I really want to walk into her mind? Invade her inner most thought’s, her dreams?
No matter how much I wanted too, I couldn’t. I wouldn’t do that her.
Nothing about us could ever be explained, every life is different, sometimes strange things occur, like this, but in everyone of them she has the dreams, that never changes.
I looked out into the forest, my eyes scanning through my territory. Not a single threat in sight, but the sounds of the nocturnal animals gave me piece of mind. The light of the moon illuminated the patio she loved to sit on and gaze up at the moon and stars.
I couldn’t bring myself to sit outside without her. This was our special place, that I had built solely for her. I had a stone pit made for the freezing nights she’d stay out. She didn’t want the patio to be enclosed, no she opted for an open patio where she could quickly discard her clothes and take off into the vast forest and have me chase after her.
She loved the woods, to feel the Earth beneath her paws. Where she could openly be herself. She wasn’t just my mate, she was my other half. The missing piece of my soul.
Her soul reaching out for mine while mine still longed for her.
Goddess I knew this was going to kill me. I wasn’t ready, I will never be ready, but I didn’t have a choice. Their was no backing out now. Everything was set in motion.
I stepped away from the window and made my way back into my bed. I placed an arm behind my head as I let my gaze linger to the moon once more for just a moment. To feel a little speck of peace to my damned soul.
I felt my body relax if only just a little and whispered.
Please don’t hate me.
Then I let myself succumb to the darkness.
