Chapter 32 – Rising of the sun
I hadn't even let myself wonder what it would be like with Cody, a part of me didn't want to think about something so intimate but the other part worried it would never happen.
The world had ripped us apart and we had clawed our way back to each other but I had never stopped believing in him, it was us I struggled to believe in. Even when my life seemed relatively normal fate seemed against us but now in his arms I couldn't argue anything but that we truly were meant for each other.
The bond between us shone brighter than the stars I saw in my eyes, my body responded to his, I was the yin to his yang and we were made for each other, I had made him perfectly for me and it had taken me millennia to find him but it was worth it. It would always be worth it for him.
His lips teased my neck and the fire in my body claimed me harder, I rose and fell in peaks and each time he would be there to catch me, hold me in his arms and show me what love meant.
Not only were we sealing the fate between us but it was binding me to him as a queen but tying him to me as the goddess's soul mate. The truth was wielded like a sword between us, it could either sever us apart or join us together as one weapon against a greater force.
His hands showed me the beauty in our life, how even with all of eternity I would never not crave the softly dance of his fingertips across my bare skin. The noises he made in approval or satisfaction as I responded with my own fervor. The marks my nails left across his back there to show he was mine was an act of possessiveness, a female showing the world what was hers.
I marked him as my own, with my tongue and teeth, as I lay claim to him as he did to me, a mark of a goddess left on his neck, twin to my own, something most female's cannot do. It was a male's possessive nature that led him to mark his mate but an inner part of me wanted the entire existence to know what belonged to us.
I knew Hailey felt the change too as we crested together, for the first time but not the last. The strength I felt between us but also the links I shared between each and every wolf there was. I had created the first wolf as a goddess and I now ruled them as their Queen and Cody as their King.
It stirred a long forgotten part inside of me, I saw the auras then, Cody's a silver, almost iridescent hung around him, twin to my own aura. Two auras of the same colour meant a pair of mates and I gasped as I remembered how to pair two wolves who had never met before as one.
It wasn't long before he took me again and I let him control my body as I poured my heart into his. We spent the night in ecstasy, a feeble part of me was there to remind me of things I couldn't disregard until they were dealt with but a the more dominant part of me appreciated the time with our mate in case we never got the chance again.
"My goddess." Cody whispered as he lay me down on the feather soft bed and held me in his arms. Unspoken words hung between us in the lengthy silence, I wanted nothing more than to never leave this room, to never leave him but we both knew there were bigger problems to face.
The rising of the sun brought the news of what tomorrow would carry, I had weakened my father but he was strong, even at my strongest point he had raised me in this life. It was in the twisted memories that were slowly returning that I realized my father had stayed with me the entire time. He never aged, my mother of this life wasn't his first mate but another in a long line. He had watched me die and be reborn and each life he'd tried to take my power from me and as he had gotten stronger each death I had it made my job harder.
"I need you to know I love you." I said hoarsely as I turned to look Cody in the eyes, his were grim, they had been bright all night but as we both faced what was coming we didn't have time to linger. He had whispered the words to me the whole night long and I had shown him the same but in these last fleeting moments of what I wished to preserve I said it once more.
"I'll never stop fighting for you, not in this life and even in the next." I didn't doubt what he said but it pained me to know that it wasn't a promise he could keep no matter how hard he tried. If neither of us lived to see the next year then he would forget it all, and with no heir I would be alone again but not human any longer.
I had torn my father down but he will have risen stronger, we'd prepared for war and we knew it was coming but I couldn't prepare myself for saying goodbye to Cody even if it was our last.
We stayed in silence, there were a million words I wanted to shout and express but I knew it would only break me down more and make what was coming harder. It was the silence that defeated me, I wanted him to roar or shout, have some sort of reaction to show me I wasn't the only one suffering even though I already knew he felt the same way as me. I wanted to cry and kiss him until we had no more breath but as he stayed silent it broke me a little more.
The last door shut between us as he turned the shower on and in those few minutes where he left my sight I had to run. I had already written the note when I'd prepared for this moment, I'd already cried over this time but I had no time now and to make it easier to lose me if he hated me at least I could make his pain less.
I knew it would break him when he found me gone and a note saying I should have left earlier and make this easier on both of us but it was one last attempt to hurt him less.
My last gift to myself was letting me be with Cody but the pain mating put on both of us was something I had hoped to avoid. I knew it was a high chance I would lose Cody but now it felt like I'd ripped my heart out of my chest and left it back in that bedroom.
I ran faster than the winds themselves and I pulled myself together with each step I took and braced myself for what I knew was inevitable. I had to attack from the inside, while I knew Cody would go to war with my father's army I was fighting a different fight.
I needed to kill the leader even if it killed me, this man who had watched me for millions of years knew I would be coming for him and knew I wouldn't go down without a fight and he was right except nothing could stop me from taking him down with me.
I was aimed for the human lands, while the pack lands spread across most of the continent I needed to leave the lands to cut one last strand hanging between me and Cody, my departure would be felt by every wolf but it would hit Cody the worst and it was because I loved him so much that I would sever the small string between us to save him.
It wasn't until I made it to the border that the ground shook and a pained roar louder than anything I'd ever heard hit me like an arrow to the chest but as I took that one last step it died and the silence ripped the last of my soul from me as I turned towards the horizon and forced myself forward.
*************************
I want to cry guys, this hurt me to write and while I hate Rose for what she's doing I wrote her and I know it's for the best. Also the gif at the top of Jensen who plays Cody crying only makes it worse... Ugh I didn't want to write this chapter but it had to happen.
I hope you guys don't hate me too much haha.
Also it has been a hard week but I found comfort in writing this so I pushed through, also to all those in New Zealand I hope they're all safe in these hard times and my heart goes out to all of them <3
Enjoy, vote, comment, that stuff, thanks
