Memories From A Not So Distant Past

The Past Becomes Relvant

Helena

Mmmm. Her lips taste so good, but have the scent of that blasted moral all over them. Something I can easily fix. She looked so confused and scared after she pushed me away. She had flashbacks of our past love affair. I cleared my throat and began what I knew to be a long process.

"Ravenna, I know why you're afraid. When we kissed, you saw us kiss before. There is an explanation for it. Ravenna, I may look 25, but I am actually 351 years old. Fifty years before my rebirth we were together. The images you see of us are your memories from then." She looked so confused, it was kinda cute. Her dark brown eyes were trying to figure out what I was saying. I touched her hand and a tear fell from her eye.

"Shh my love, do you want me to tell you what happened to us?" I reached over and wiped away that tear. She nodded. I motioned for her to sit next to me. She picked up her phone and locked the door.

"Carl, send all my messages to voicemail, and no one comes into my office until I'm done with this meeting okay?" She nodded and hung up the phone. She looked at me with doubt in her eyes. I motioned for her to sit next to me again. She slowly sat next to me and slumped in the chair.

"You understand what I am now right Ravenna?" She nodded and I nodded in response.

"Okay here's how we met. I was in the meadow outside of the local town picking flowers. All of the sudden you come running from over the hill in rag cloth. You were in a somewhat circus and they would force you to turn and do tricks. You saw me and begged me to hide you, so I took you back to my "mother's" house where you stayed with us as her adopted child. Your new name was Emily, and mine was Katie."

"How old were we?"

"Seven. Anyway this is a few years later. We were now teenagers,16, and now we had completely controlled the power within us. We began to go into town with mother more and the boys of the town were fancying us. This made you extremely jealous because I was your mate. See when a wolf finds their mate they will stay with this person forever. So one night you took me into the meadow and told me that you loved me, and..." I reached my hand out for hers, "I felt the same way about you. Then you kissed me and that was our first kiss."

She looked up at me, before she could look back down I caught her face in my hands. She understood now why she would be depressed when I left. I brushed back a strand of her brown hair from her beautiful face.

"Continue..."  She said in a soft voice.

"Well, mother kept those foolish mortal boys at bay for another year; that same year was the first time we made love." She began to blush.

She sheepishly smiled, "Yes, I remember that vividly." I kissed her cheek and chuckled with her.

"Yep you were an amazing lover, bet you still are." Her checks burned a bright red.

"As I was saying, the three of us knew that we couldn't hold the off forever, so we made a plan to get married. First we had to make it seem like you left for your homeland. It worked, those asshole mortals thought you really left. Over a few months you had grown facial hair; you actually grew a complete beard! I have to say it was funny, but cute. You would return a year later and take the name William Moon. You came in right when the blacksmith of the town just died, and you were as you say now just what the doctor ordered." She nodded and looked at me to continue.

"Well after you were in the town for a few months you asked for my hand, and of course I said yes. We were married the next night under the full moon. And we made passionate love until the sun came up the next day. We were happy for a two years then... you know what happened after that."

She snapped her head up and looked at me. I kissed her again. She rejected me. I began to get angry.

"Rae, you know the truth now why do you still reject me, your true love, your mate." She stood up and unlocked the door.

"Why don't you love me Ravenna?" She violently turned back to me.

"Because I have somebody now! If you haven't noticed Helena, I'm married to a wonderful woman that loves me for the good parts of me!" I got frustrated and without knowing my self I rushed to her in a flash. She didn't flinch at all she stood her ground.

"Oh yes she'll only love you as long as your human like her! Think about Ravenna, she will reject you soon as she figures out what you are!" I could tell that hit a nerve cause I  saw tears form in her eyes.

"What we had is in the past and has no importance. I don't care if you are my mate or not I am committed to Morgana and I will stay  committed to her. Now get the fuck out of my office!"

. I left her office without any more words to say. The only statements that flooded my mind were Ravenna and that mortal must be separated in any way I can do it. First I attack my love's reputation. If only she realized what she just done for her beloved wife. She just sentenced her to death. A death that will really suck....
