Celestial Wulf Chronicles Book# 5 Sacrifice's

CONDOLENCES

 Baba stood beside her. Now, ever so tenderly. He rests his hand on her shoulder. She turns to him. He briefly smiled at her. His words spoke wisdom. "All is in balance, Iya. Her children are safe now, as is future generations of life." Yemaya turns to me with her response. Her eyes are still misty, but a smile creases her face. "Yes. Thanks to the sacrifice of our senior celestial guardian alpha." Stepping away from Baba,

Yemaya comes, kneels, and hugs me. "I am so sorry, Sabalius. But know this. What your Mother did was from the purest form of love. A mother's love. She protected you & your brothers the only way she could. By giving her life."

"I was right; mother knew." Form the astral plane, Anger builds toward her words. It is Alejandro. Taking a step back from her, turning away. Alejandro speaks his mind. "I am sorry Iya mi (My Mother) Baba mi (my father) But I do not see how you can say that. When she remained loyal to her oath. To you, she was a guardian.

To me, She was my friend, my protector. The person who nourished me played with my brothers and me. She was the smile I most look forward to. Her voice could make me laugh, anger, or bring me understanding. The one you call guardian. She was never any of those things to me. She.... Was my Mother & father." Alejandro's words rang true, and for now, I do not wish to be in the company of divine beings.

"Thank you for both your words and appearance. But with all due respect, as I do not wish to disrespect either of you. Mother was your guardian, not mine.  Although Mother did not birth me, my mother raised my brothers and myself as her very own... I grew with her love and unconditional support. She was my mother & father. My guardian and teacher. She was my friend and my confidant. In my heart, it will remain as if she had To me, she was and will always remain.  my mother." Stepping away from them. "Please understand, I wish to be alone." Both nod, acknowlede my request.

Yemaya comes, kneels, and kisses my furred forehead. My platinum eyes meet her aqua green sapphire ones.

"She was more than a celestial guardian, Alejandro /Sabalius.... She was... MY FRIEND. Be strong young Prime Alpha. Take this time. Heal. Return when you are ready...For we need you."

With that, the ocean queen rises from her kneeled position before me and returns to Baba. Obatala never took his gaze off me. His honey eyes remain tender as my gaze now meets them.

"Estrella was my emissary. But she always told me ..... There was an honor both herself and Cary held more significant than that of a celestial guardian. One I am so immensely proud she proved until the end."

Yemaya, having heard the words, speaks with a smile of honor of my Mother.

"Estrella & Cary said to Olofi once. "Before my guardian oath... I AM A MOTHER FIRST. My SACRIFICE. IS FOR MY CUBS. They, my children Olofi. .. are my greatest oath."

"Until we meet again, young guardians." With those words, both become mist, fading vapors with the wind.

A gut-wrenching emotional pain overwhelms me, and I howl. My head shifts downwards, my eyelids closed. My haunches descend onto the ground beneath. Here I lay. Staring across the expanse of my territory. Here from the astral plane, Alejandro and I speak.

"Sabe," morbid response of Sable's astral voice a twin to my own.
"Yes, Alejandro."
"What do we do? I....I..."
"You have always been and will always be one thing most precious to me, Alejandro."
my tone melomaniac as I addressed him.
"Yea, I know you and you me."

"My human soul companion, you will not endure the burden of our pack matters along with our mother's murder. We are BOTH Prime Alpha's Alejandro. I will handle the pack. Rest Alejandro, heal on the astral plane. Until the time comes when you are ready to resume. I WILL HANDLE THEM."
