Celestial Wulf Chronicles Book# 5 Sacrifice's

SOLACE

We hear the Goddess, looking towards the heavens. Oya's whispered words, "thank you, father." Reach my ears. Her sorrowful gaze turns towards us, her guardians, then to my mate, Alejandro. "They have changed her fate. She will be amongst us. Olofi has told me he has a special place for her."

My head rests on Reubens' chest; my grief momentarily causes me to avoid her gaze as Reuben's own tears fall on my hair. Looking to the Goddess, I manage a smile, saying. "Only the best for my toti, huh goddess?"

She nods yes as a renewed force of my tears comes down. "I am sorry, Goddess," I say to her. She comes & embraces me then, when she releases me, kisses my forehead. Her own eyes tear, holding sympathy for me, "Estrella and Cary were best the beings I saw. My constant companion. She was, from its very beginning, the devoted Mother of my favorites... My guardian were dedicated to a more profound oath........ one that matters most before the eyes of OLOFI. Being YOUR mother.

Her gaze turns to Reuben, yet her words are for her own cub Necromio. "It is time to heal....... my son." Crimson illuminates Reuben's human eyes with his own, meeting her gaze responding. "Yes mother, it is."

She bends slightly forward and kisses my forehead. "I will return when time is right, or you need me." I watch her approach every family member and gently kisses their heads. Stopping when she comes to my brother-in-law, Randall.

Approaching Randall, in Roberts' arms, I say. "oh, Cocoa." Opening mine to him. Coco's human form reaches and falls into them, bawling as I have never heard him before. "My mamaaa, my mamaaa Alpha, I want her back, Goddess, I want her BACK pleasseee!!" his last words were powerful when he looked up to me.

"TAKE ME. PLEASE ta. Tell da Olofi, ta take me for my mama." drowned in a shower of tears and sobs.

Pressed tightly to my chest, resting my chin on his head as his head rests on my breasts. "There, there, my child, there. One day when the time comes, you will see her little Beta. Remember who we are. Remember how she raised you, little one, and; her love. Make her proud, Cocoa. Estrella will be watching over you both and the entire pack. That will never end." Continuing.

"Soon another guardian will appear as sister destiny foretold. It was Estrella herself who chose her Prime Alpha. For you, Beta Cocoa, Beta Amarok, and my own son. You must also help her. But most of all, Cocoa, You must forgive her. For in a moment of guilt, she will hurt you."

Something in her words, for a moment, causing me to slow my crying. I gently pull back, meeting her gaze, then move mine to Loli, mama's protege. Lo's stood silent. Head down, eyelids closed, holding her mother and father. All crying. Bloodied from head to toe grasping her blood-soaked katanas.

Something in Oya's words for a moment diminishes my crying. Drawing my gaze. She smiles at me, nods then kissed my forehead. "I have given you my gift, little one. I am not surprised, you know." Then kissed my forehead and released me, turning away. "She too will need your most little one. For she will attempt to do something which is not her destiny. Be patient, Randall. Help her, Beta." I nod as the Goddess releases me. "Yes ma'am."

Before departing, I do one thing more, "My little Bella, you will be needed to train two new wielders soon. Estrella is entrusting you this." Bella gazes at me, then looks to her own distraught son Robert embracing his Beta mate & Ben embraced within his fathers and grandparents. Returning her gaze to me, she nods. "Yes, Goddess. I will not fail her ...I will never fail... MY Alpha." Her last word spoke profound pride "Not ever." Padding to her son. Lifting her, Robert cradles her between Randall and himself. Happy to have his mother.
