Sinister Obsession

-6-THE BOND

"Come, there is something I would like to show you." and phases thru taking me completely by surprise, taking me far from our home range. Blurring foliage and fauna pass us.

Crimson runs with determination, as if trying to escape something. The whole time Crimson had not spoken one word to me. But in his sentiments, I felt how heavily all this weighed on him. But mostly I felt the shame he held of having not informed me sooner.

Reaching the top of a mountain, he sits staring out across the valleys and treetop canopies  blanketing our home. As if a weight were a dam about to burst, begging to be set free. Reaching the highest point of our territory he begins. "When this world was young Olofi, our All Father........." and I listen.

For what seemed like an eternity, Crimson relieved himself of his burden. The words he spoke, the centuries he has lived, left me speechless. The guilt of having kept this from me conveyed in his wulf speak.

Astrally, I felt nothing. But if I could. It would be suffocation of excruciating proportions only never ended by death. But the worst...his darkest secret was yet to come. As Crimson revealed all to me I finally understood. Not only was my lack of trust in him the catalyst for his in me.

Crimson by far, was more afraid of losing both our mates than I could ever be. Sensing this time, instead 9f living without them. Crimson would seek death should that happen.

By sheer will, Crimson all this time had suppressed a force I now felt in him. A barrier was finally being lifted as the final bridge of our bond began to unite us. As he spoke his final words, I understood why

"THEY, are BOTH the halves of my complete world Reuben. I would, without question. Sacrifice all this to remain with my mate and my human mate alike. For they, my human soul companion, are ALL that I have chosen to live for.

Forever will I be Thankful to my mother goddess. For I am blessed Reuben, to have found and be with them..... Once more."

Once more? I was unable to respond. Hearing the secret of everything. Of my wulf companion's history, of my wulf mate Sable, of my human mate, of the cause for Alejandro's previous affliction, and The true reason behind the town my wulf ashed, All of it.

Crimson, had buried this deeply from me just to be with them. "Could you ever forgive my transgression Reuben.?"

For a moment I remain silent. Recounting all I have learned. I knew as Sable and Alejandro can see one another in the astral realm, Crimson, all this time could also see me. But, aside from a dark shadowy wulf in my minds eye, I truly have never seen him. Assuming this was the way it was for all Celestial Guardians. I had closed my eyes at his question.

But within my being I know my answer telling him "Did you have to ask bud?". It is then, as my answer come forth, I feel the warmth of a moist tongue gently rub upwards against my cheek.

With it, after all these years, the blackness I had astrally become accustomed to, suddenly begins to brighten. Opening my eyes, I am amazed at a sight beyond beauty.

Vibrantly a blend of light layering colors appear, taking shape before me. Connected to a powerful being whose shape slowly clears before my eyes, a connection I realize at this moment, I only THOUGHT I had.

For the very first time ever in my life, I see him. my... wulf. Crimson, the Fire celestial Guardian Alpha.....my bud.... and he.... He is... beautiful.

His celestial guardian light warms, shedding light to everything, spreads outwards in a cirlce all around us. Exposing what hid in the previous darkness.
